Guild Wars 2

Josh Foreman.8250:

Yeah, keep in mind world 1 is easy. The difficulty will be rising as more worlds come in, as well as hard mode. I’m sure you’ll eat a LOT of CCs if you want to take that challenge on.

This pretty much sums it up if you want to do rapids (and then think of what will come after because rapids is the end for now, not the end).

Rapids you will die a lot, at least until you learn the jumps and get used to them. Then add in even more difficult areas and you’re going to either burn them or get used to starting over.

I solo, but the point system (and the more I understand about it) truly frustrates me.

The zergmentality is one thing I truly hate, not because it’s easy, but because it promotes cluelessness. I hate that person that gets to level 80 through PvE and doesn’t understand what stat does what. I hate that person that gets full BiS (ascended + exotics) and doesn’t understand how to create a build catering to their playstyle. I hate the person who goes for a Legendary and believes they deserve one because they’re them, not because they worked for it.

I’m overgeneralizing but most zerg players are like that. I’ve gone into zergs recently and kept asking myself: What am I learning from this?

I could never answer myself, so I went back to solo roaming.

As for the point system, you get more points the more people “tag” an objective. An objective will give more points (directly to the world) the more people hit it, whereas doing something by yourself allows other players to split up and cause more confusion, but also proves that you have the capacity of doing large-scale objectives by yourself… and you get PUNISHED for it.

Nretep.2564:

Seriously ANet, make Phantasms ground targeted, let us choose the location. Not making them individual beings. Since we have an enemy targeted anyways, make them fixed on it and just let us select the spawning location (even for regeneration issues).

Would also fix iLeap.

If I do zone1-3, I’ll kill myself in the swamp until I get to 0 lives left.

You don’t have to move. He will only move if he loses LoS.

^this is correct… or if they move out of summoning range

Yeah, but odds are, they’ll be out of LoS if they move out of Summoning Range.

I don’t mind having bags and whatnot, but please re-implement GW1’s “unretrieved loot” system. I understand that it would be taxing to remember all the loot on the ground, but it would be soooo much nicer.

Actually, scratch that, I don’t understand, because I’m still requesting it…

XP utility infusion for the win.

More skill points = more superior siege, or more skill points to convert into gold.

Made about 20 gold this past weekend off of skill points from WvW alone. Not as good as if I spent the whole time playing Trade Post PvP or PvE, but at least I got to do something I enjoy doing.

Gold off of skillpoints?

Teach me please.

Gold Find/Magic Find/Exp From Kills/Karma does not affect this at all.

You took my little message for a hatespeech. Yes, I dislike having your constant threads up here, but you don’t have a stickied thread up at the top. I don’t go to everybodies guide thread to say that their thread isn’t there because it’s a pain in the neck and because those people don’t care (for the most part) about anything other than “lolmybuildopuseitplzwantkarma” even though they can’t get karma.

As for the message about bumping, that was directly resulting from the “bumping” post because it goes against the rules of the forums:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/rules

Do not spam. This includes bumping threads or making posts that lack content.

The monetization can be found in any of samski’s (a Mesmer)‘s youtube video’s descriptions.

The reason why I posted it here instead of using a PM is so you, and/or others, can refute and/or understand/learn from the post. Pyro, for example, learned about the monetization policy of Arenanet.

The current ruling on monetization of Youtube videos is (loosely worded and not directly quoted):
You may use monetization freely, but if you get reported, Arenanet will not back you up nor say you are allowed to do it.

Basically, you CAN do it until you get caught doing it.

Back to the first point: I don’t care if your thread is on the frontpage or not, I personally just don’t want 2+ Mesmerized threads on the frontpage, especially if you’re going to be bumping anyone of them. Hence the solution I listed in my first post of making one big thread, which would work for your point, anyways.

I also dislike you making new threads constantly when all you have to do is go back to one of your old/first threads and update the info and then add an INFORMATIVE post saying: “Just added XX and YY videos to the OP, also posting here so you don’t have to move to that page” or "Link to that post is here: " or something.

I am sure they are aware of this issue, but I am afraid they have no solution about this, so they just say nothing about it.

This thread will probably die out sooner or later too.. just like they want.

It’s going to die out because they don’t need to answer it and it’s against the rules.

Do not engage in staff call-outs. Using the words “ArenaNet” or any staff member’s name will not expedite the answer to your query.

The reason why they don’t need to answer it is because they’re a company that provides a service. They can opt to stay “old-fashion” and not change anything, or they can try new angles and release new things and change their current setups. The fact that they’ve been a successful company for 8 years (the GW1 anniversary is on the 28th of April, but I’m sure they were a company BEFORE the game was released… logically speaking, of course).

On your mainhand, wear a Fiery Dragon Sword if you played GW1. This gives you, and you alone, enough light to go through the darkness without needing any assistance.

Pyroatheist.9031:

@esplen: osis thread actually for stickied but yeah =p.

Since gw2 footage is used in the channels, I’m pretty sure that can’t be monetized, don’t quote me on that one though.

It can be used as long as it doesn’t get reported. Additionally, I was using Osicat’s as an example because it didn’t always used to be stickied, yet it was still updated when he added information instead of just making another thread.

Or you can look for the finish symbol above their heads…

I understand that you like self-plugs, but could you please just make one thread and constantly use/update that? Learn from all the other stickied threads, they use one thread to convey MULTITUDES of ideas.

E.g. Osicat’s thread. It has 4+ builds on it, each fully fledged. You don’t see it getting bumped to the front page everyday (which is also against the rule) by the OP, because it was good enough that it didn’t need to.

If you’re just going to make a thread and throw it away, it’s not really a thread worth making… especially when it comes to live, updated things. Your thread should reflect your content. If your content was a one-time thing, your thread should be a one-time thing. If your content is going to have more… your thread should have move. If your content is dead… your thread should be dead.

And please, for the love of the Six, tell me you have youtube monetary disabled.

17-18k isn’t that much health. 1700 toughness also isn’t that much. If you expect to be able to live with those numbers, you’re not expecting to do much other than kill trash mobs in PvE. No player can 1shot another player with 18k health. You might be able to do a quick combo, but even then, the other player has time to react, it just depends on how they react.

I run either full berserkers or berserkers with valk armor in WvW. Either way, another full-squishy character will not insta-gib me, nor will I insta-gib them (unless they’re upleveled). I have done some cheesy shatters that seem like an insta-gib, but the entire combo is countered with ONE dodge roll.

Also, 100nades isn’t one skill, it’s a spam of skill, hence the name. 100b is one skill, but can be dodged by pressing any arrow key on your keyboard. Backstab can be countered very, very, very easily as a Mesmer…

All of these skills shouldn’t be a problem to a Mesmer, and they aren’t.

Playing a Mesmer is fun. It was fun in Beta and it still is. If you can’t handle changing your playstyle or getting nerfed when you do too much (with too little skill), then perhaps you’re not meant to play a Mesmer.

….they already have the best gold sink ever…..GEMS!

Gems don’t destroy Gold. When you buy Gems with Gold, that Gold is going to another player Selling the Gems. There is the transaction fee that destroys a lot of gold but its only 15%, but that applies to all over the TP.

Gem store has a 30% conversation sink. 15% Gold —> Gems and 15% Gems —> Gold.

I dunno if its a bug or not, but Chaos Armor doesnt proc protection beyond initial staff activation.

It’s not a bug. Although classified as an “armor” it’s one of the most offensive ones. The whole reason for not applying protection in any other manner is that it’s not supposed to give non-Mesmers protection.

Additionally, Phantasmal Regeneration doesn’t get boon duration.

I think it may be a bug. Last month there was a thread saying it doesnt proc blindness properly either.

It doesn’t. It’s just a weird, mislabeled skill (like almost every other skill).

Demented Lemur.7861:

Now Memsers know what its like to be in a Thief shoes but the thing about Memser is that you don’t need to get in mele range or behind a foe to get extreme damage off I think thats the main problem plus they got clones to make it harder to pin them down even if only does take a second or two to figure out which is the real one a second is all it really takes

I don’t get it. How have we suddenly learned how to be a thief and do 13k in one hit. The only time I can do 13k in one hit is when I have a Warlock on a target that has almost every condition.

@OP, just because you were pubstomping in sPvP doesn’t mean anything. You can use that argument against any class because sPvP hotjoin is silly mindless killing.

Back to the arguments at hand, sure, in WvW I’m able to kill people without ever having to use an actual attack, but those people are silly to engage me so far away from allies without understanding my class. Sure, I don’t know every class 100%, but I know enough about every class to be able to tackle any class in WvW.

Although I do admit that my current build (Phantasm) is ridiculously strong, it also has a weakness. I can’t target that many players and so having allies will help you win. If there are 2 enemies, I can focus one down, then leave a Phantasm on him while I down the other player. If there are 3+ players, I’m usually dead, or if one of the 2 players on me is a Ranger, I can’t handle the damages. If it’s just 1v1 with a Ranger, I should be fine.

DAS WACIST, AWW YUU WACIST?

Like I said before, I think it looks nice. If they were to remove that, they’d probably have to add a Mesmer butterfly removal, but it would actually be a tad bit overpowered because all spells have some sort of noticeable cast animation/particle based on what spell it is and your profession.

Actually, what should happen is to give every objective a WXP pool and then have all players who contribute to get a share of that pool.

The current way WvW works benefits zergs way too much.
Objectives are faster (more WXP) and give more points to your world upon completion (Yaks and sentries) by being completed with more people. If you have the manpower, you’re actually hurting your world by soloing things instead of running in a group of 10+.

Entropy.4732:

It’s coming. The inevitable Opening Poster nerf is coming. The people are crying for justice and their pleas will be answered in one swift, decisive blow. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but the time of the OP who dispenses unfounded slander against the noble, perfectly balanced Mesmer class will soon be over, and WvW/sPvP alike will rejoice. My only wish is that this attempt at rebuking the ignorance and unproductive ranting of the Opening Poster is over-done, and forum trolls everywhere are nerfed into the ground, transformed into walking bags of shame. Such should be the punishment for taking advantage of a forum that allows pointless QQ posters from other classes to waste the time and energy of the wonderful, difficult-to-play-right, applicable and fun, not at all over-powered Mesmers on their lovely forum. Amen.

Nah bro, op is op. Can play all classes and know all balance issues without ever having played them. Gosh! You’re just jealous you’re as op as op.

To extend what Dasorine has said, Mr. Foreman has stated that there are upgrades to weapons that will make them do more damage and cost more baubles. The final bomb upgrade is the same as the Adventure Box Finisher explosion.

Slurgi.8761:

@ Esplen.3940 – I never claimed my way was the best way, nor that you couldnt kill thief’s with full zerker, but I tried to give my personal preference to OP to help him out. I went full zerker on my mesmer the first time around and loved the high dmg numbers. Still I found myself getting killed a bit too much for my liking. As i stated gear should be based on your play style and personal preferences… If you dominated the WvW scene with your full zerker Mesmer I am happy for you!=)

I understand your predicament. I tend to have problems in 1v3+, but if it’s a 1v2 or a 1v1, I typically win it. I can do a 1v3+ if they don’t know how to play against Mes/are PvE’rs, but who can’t?

Slurgi.8761:

I am personally running 6/6 Knights with Zerker GS / Soldier S/S and Zerk/Valk stats on my ascendent gear… I found this to be the best setup vs Zerker D/D Thief, and my sole purpose in life is to kill those kittens!

Funny, because I kill those guys while running full zerker (actually, I have valkyrie armor for wvw so I can run ruby orbs in pve and centaur in pvp, but everything else is zerk). When they go invis, they always try to backstab you, no matter what. Just press Sword4 and wait for them to nuke themselves.

Eyeball the minimap. The range is about the end of your cone of vision in the minimap.

Follow the steps and do everything it tells you to, including jumping on shrooms and staying until the gold cart after zone 3.

pst2shrt

so you want to do a shattercat, so.. then… 0/20/20/0/30

They are levels to be released, most likely AFTER april.

Easiest way to get boon duration is via Chaos tree and runes+food. With those, you can get 90%. From there, I would suggest going damage gear (so probably berserker) and then the remainder of your traits can either be pseudo shatter cat (will be hard to pull off) or a phantasm build. The only problem with a phantasm build is that your phantasm regeneration does not get affected by boon duration. If you were to do that build, I would suggest something like…

0/20/30/15/5. It’s a really weird trait setup and doesn’t really utilize anything to the fullest, but it would give you enormous amounts of boon duration and what you do with that is up to you.

It’s not a very full-fledged build, so don’t expect to do anything amazing.

I don’t like this idea. There’s a reason why adventurers need adventuring, and that is keeping them fit and healthy. There is also the risk of character-obesity. If your toon plays too much of SAB, they won’t be fit to fight the next elder dragon. And the cost of waypoints would be double!

Also, the risk of carpal-tunnel syndrome would be devastating to the adventurers of Tyria, which leads to the danger that Tyria might face. I posit that Moto is really an acolyte to one of the elder dragons in Tyria…

I agree. Next thing you know, they’ll allow Charr and Asura to MARRY. Abomination I tell ya’! Goes against my beliefs in the Latter Day Church of Balthazar.

If that’s what you want it for, then by all means, get it for your Engineer, because that’s what you wanted it for. But if you have a problem with the Necromancer mixing with the Staff, just keep in mind that this is a VERY similar… “issue”.

*I say issue in quotes because it’s not really an issue, but it can be if you make it one. Not singling you out, just saying you as anyone in general.

yeah I do realize that it’s a very REAL issue. That’s why I do hope that it will get fixed.

Esplen.3940:

Adding in more characters that YOU want to outfit is YOUR choice. Arenanet is not responsible for spoonfeeding any choice that you make with their game. The weapon skins are easily accessible and my method was a simple fix to dissuade players from delete-farming, but there will always be hardcore players and it’s always nice to have an open mind to them instead of closing off 100%.

So you’re saying screw the people with alts in favor of the hardcore players? That has already been done with ascended gear and legendaries and fractals and everything else that is so expensive or time consuming that you couldn’t possibly outfit and level all your alts without giving up your job and/or school.

There should be something for the rest of us in the game that is nice too.

Esplen.3940:

You’re basically saying: “People can make Legendaries, but I want one for all my characters. Why should I work harder to get more..?”

Instead of: “People can make Legendaries, but I want one for all my characters. Now I’ll work harder to get more.”

If you want more, you want more.

People deleting characters or running all their alts through the game are working harder for more. You want to take the ability for them to work harder away.

Esplen.3940:

Lastly, I don’t know if many of the people in this/these threads (this isn’t aimed at you specifically, it’s aimed at everyone) realize that delete-farmers reduce the price of the weapon skins. The greatsword used to be 40g. It’s now about half that price, as are all the other skins. Why..? Because people are farming it and getting the tradeable versions which then increase the supply without affecting the demand. preDpreH

Yes. Lowering the prices on the weapon skins on the Trading Post was a wonderful benefit to more people farming the skins. The prices were artificially inflated by people bracketing the price point with high buy orders and sell orders and the influx of more skins made them take a loss, which is a good thing. Gating off content from other players with wealth gained by TP flipping should have consequences.

I don’t quite understand. You first argued that people shouldn’t be allowed to delete, then you say that people who try hard should be rewarded, thereby agreeing with me… right after disagreeing with me… then you agree with me again, but in a disagreeing tone.

Since I don’t quite understand that, I’ll just respond to the first part, where you’re blatantly disagreeing with me.

Players ARE able to get what they want.

If you want a Staff for your Elementalist. You can EASILY get it.

Now, if you want a Staff for your Elementalist, a Shield for your Engineer, 2 Swords for your Warrior, a Greatsword for your Guardian, a Scepter for your Mesmer, a Shortbow for your Thief and a Longbow for your Ranger, you had better be ready to WORK for it. Add on to that the fact that people always want their goodies now as opposed to later…

Understand?

MisterEction.9382:

Who cares?

I have 15 alts. I run Zone 1 on each of them daily, if I feel like it and time permits. So far I have one found skin and one bauble-purchased skin. I’ll have one more bauble-purchased skin today.

If someone has dedicated that much time to deleting and re-creating alts, then running again and again, I don’t see a problem with it.

The nice thing about SAB is that it actually is accessible to everyone who wants to play it, the way they want to play it, for as long or as little as they want to play it. It has a chance to get nice things, and a guarantee of getting nice things.

There are plenty of things to be elitist about and angst over who has something you do or who didn’t earn it the way you think they should have. Please don’t bring it into this.

Thank you for summing up the things I have been saying in another method. (Not dry sarcasm, this is sincere thanks)

Honestly, if people want to hardcore grind, let them. Don’t complain to Arenanet because other people are capable/willing/wanting to get things faster than you. If you don’t want to dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, then don’t. If you do want to, then do. It’s a game, stop whining and enjoy yourself. If you don’t get enjoyment because other people have more shiny things than you, perhaps you’re a skritt perhaps you need to find your own shiny.

I’m personally going for 2x Sword, 1x Greatsword, 1x Staff, 1x Shield, 1x Backpack. I have just under 125 bauble bubbles and 2 Scepters (wot, lol). I’m content with getting none of them, mostly because I already have Final Rest, Wooden Swords (oh yes, I have plenty of these bad boys), can’t wear Shield, and I have almost every backpack skin soulbound to my main.

Mirta.5029:

and how is delete character farming NOT trying harder? You are saying that I should be limited to how much bobbles I can get because of how many characters I have and then limited on not being allowed to delete farm the thing. So essentially now you would be favoring a person that only has 1 or 2 characters. I have 8. I work hard on 8 to outfit 8, why should I get less for it?
Then furthermore I never seen the GS be 40G. When the instance just opened on Underworld server it was 8G. Now is 20G. The demand is high, the amount of people not running at all is high as well, the farmers are selling he skins now, supplying the demand that is there right now. A good thing. We have a limited supply of those skins having in mind that the event will only be there for 30 days. Want to make actual profit? Don’t worry about people buying skins now, when the supply is high, sell them when supply gets low.

All servers share the TP. When I checked on day 1, it was 40g. Are you sure you’re not looking at the sword (current price is ~8g). The greatsword is on page 2 of the trading post if you type in “super” as your search query.

Additionally, all players SHOULD be rewarded by how hard they try. If you want to try harder to get bauble bubbles, you should be rewarded with more. It’s a very simple input/output stream of “income”. You have 8 character slots, so do I. If you are unable to spare one of those slots, perhaps you can spare 16g. if you can’t do that, which is a hefty price, then you clearly don’t want to try harder to getting the skins faster, which is a personal choice of yours. I’m not trying to attack you, I’m just stating that by choosing not to open up a slot, you’re accepting the fact that you’re unwilling to try harder.

Unless all your characters are 80 with soulbound expensive things (in which case 16g should be affordable) I see no excuse for not being able to delete a character. I deleted a character because I have 2 character slots that are my “come and go” slots where I create and delete based on what new class I want to play. All 5 other character slots of mine are banks and the final slot is my main. That’s how I want to play, that’s how I will play. It’s neither right nor wrong, it’s just my way. I had to adhere to the “meta” of farming, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay.

Why? Because I don’t always play, but when I do get on, I usually get on for long sessions, so being able to grind-farm when I’m in the mood is definitely something I look forward to. Doing it as a daily thing can be repetitive and is not always possible (last week I was rushing to create a game, which I successfully did. Essentially created a game from scratch using a GUI in 5 days, but that’s off-topic).

Just saying, everyone has their own methods. Until people accept that, whining will continue and I will continue to be there to advocate acceptance.

If that’s what you want it for, then by all means, get it for your Engineer, because that’s what you wanted it for. But if you have a problem with the Necromancer mixing with the Staff, just keep in mind that this is a VERY similar… “issue”.

*I say issue in quotes because it’s not really an issue, but it can be if you make it one. Not singling you out, just saying you as anyone in general.

like how engi’s stuck with the backpack, i guess necro is too stuck with those black particles..

I was thinking of buying a backpack for my engi. Can you post a pic to show what’s wrong with it? Please?

They’re stuck with a “Multitool Pack” when using certain kits. It adapts depending on the weapon type, so it’s not quite the same as the Universal one gained upon creation of an Engineer.

If you didn’t understand that:
Weapon kits give them backpacks that go on their back regardless of what they are wearing on their back (they both get shown, but will clip).

oh. Fair enough. If it’s only that I think I’ll still get a backpack for my engi then

Not sure if you understand the problem… basically, backpacks on Engineers are not seen. Think of getting The Anomaly on a Mesmer, then realizing it doesn’t show up on your clones/phantasms, only the real you. But it’s worse then that. As an Engineer, it will only show up on you if you’re not using a weapon kit.

Mirta.5029:

doubtful, because at this point the price is set in stone for people having 1 character, 5 characters, 8 characters, etc. I don’t think that developers thought that a normal person would have 8 characters. They probably set the price having 1 character in mind, thinking that people would get the skins slowly.

I was responding specifically to…

Mirta.5029:

I couldn’t compensate having more characters and fully outfit them with new skins, therefore being handicapped into buying the rest….

Adding in more characters that YOU want to outfit is YOUR choice. Arenanet is not responsible for spoonfeeding any choice that you make with their game. The weapon skins are easily accessible and my method was a simple fix to dissuade players from delete-farming, but there will always be hardcore players and it’s always nice to have an open mind to them instead of closing off 100%.

The reason why I’m making a semi-rude comment (it’s not supposed to be, it can just sound that way from a certain perspective, which I am not currently capable of seeing at the moment) is because you’re throwing in an angle and then expecting Arenanet to compensate in full.

You’re basically saying: “People can make Legendaries, but I want one for all my characters. Why should I work harder to get more..?”

Instead of: “People can make Legendaries, but I want one for all my characters. Now I’ll work harder to get more.”

Charming Rogue.8071:

Tip 1: At the start of zone 1 grab the key next to the waterfall, but don’t use it on that chest. Use it on the chest at the 2nd checkpoint, it yields 19 more baubles.

- Tip 2: When you’re doing alt runs (with newly created characters) take 75 baubles with you to buy the shovel. It’s well worth it if you get all digging spots on the way (check dulfy.net). You’ll end up with 250 baubles in the middle of zone 2.

(Yes I know the shovel is 100 baubles, see tip 1)

If you take 77 baubles and grab the single bauble after the first checkpoint (second jump if you take the higher path) and the 3 baubles from the roll-jump at the final checkpoint, you’ll have 100 for the Shovel in Zone 2. You also need to get the 5 bauble at the barrels that contain the invulnerability buff, but that’s on the way.

Using that, you can then take the dig spots at Zone 2 for a huge amount of Baubles. List of what I grab is:

• Waterfall at entrance
• Hill after first checkpoint (right of tree stumps/fallen hollow trees)
• Hollow tree stump
• Front of shopkeep
• Leaf in river
• Poophole of Wurm

You end up back to about 215 or so, depending on how many Baubles you pick up on the way and if you kill any enemies.

With this method, you can run it on your alts and get ~230 Baubles every run (don’t worry about wallet or any other upgrade for your alts, other than the shovel).

This works with delete-runs and all the digspots are very close to the path so you’re not straying too far.

Currently sitting on 1250+ baubles (so few because I’ve been busy and just started to collect and hold them on an alt dedicated to baubles.)
