Guild Wars 2

We’re talking about this again? The only thing broken with stealth is the perma-stealth that Anet is too lazy to fix.

250 max storage, you need 3500+ silk. Congrats Anet! Planned ahead on that one

I’m only slightly with OP because I get tired of “hard” mechanics being one-shots since Anet is just now starting to think outside the box. (kinda).

Fractal Skins +15

Running through Arah p2 with some new arah runners. In guild so all on TS3. I go ahead and take 5-6 minutes to describe the fire whiseky boss (when we get there) about burning, station each person where the burrows are, destroy the dead corpses, etc etc. only to realize that’s a different path. I just say “Nevermind, let’s go” and keep running.

AndrewSX.3794:

It would take away any means of choosing the build to run.

In fact it would do the opposite (If I’m reading you correctly).

The only downside I see to this, is people might be tempted to WP back to the beginning and use different builds/traits at different parts in the dungeon (ultimately wasting time and making things easier).

If they could set it up so it was a one-time use per path, I’m all for it.

The nicer and more friendly you are the less you’ll get kicked.

Keyboard warriors get kicked a lot, normal people just playing a game having a fun time don’t.

zerotwo.4731:

LOL, obviously he was kidding. I elaborated. Lupi is a joke and can be killed quickly.(no sarcasm there) The only reason mossman is difficult is because of his HP scaling. Takes more time to kill which means more chances to get downed.

I guess your statement was actually accurate, so thought you were serious, as it’s not really a joke.

Lupi can be killed quickly if you have speed runners that know exactly what they are doing. It’s one of the worst PUGs bosses though IMO. Like I said, I usually have no issues staying alive and doing damage on Lupi, but my groups usually seem to.

Mossman gets me because of the little to no tells.

If you have an alt toon spot, get a level 25 toon and plant him/her by a JP in Lions arch. Just log on every day, open the chest, and hopefully it’s a silver doubloon.

There is a recipe on wiki for it, but like you said, it’s only 5% for the silver doubloon.

NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Way too much incentive to make everything soulbound.

I just go along with whatever. If I PUG, I already expect it to take 10-15 more minutes than normal.

Honestly this would be an incredibly easy fix for Anet. I know they don’t like putting an invisible wall, but just put one before the stairs until they can get around to a better fix.

The fact that they haven’t even tried to fix this (they fixed the spider spot in the revamp) makes me think they couldn’t care less (of course they won’t say that though)

zerotwo.4731:

its a zerker rabbit! One hit to down you and its the quickest to kill.

Picking up sarcasm doesn’t seem like your strong suit.

I would have to say either Lupi or Mossman.

Personally I struggle most with Mossman. However I noticed that Lupi is a lot more team-dependent. One person will go down in phase 2 because they can’t dodge the inaccurate red circles, then the team swopes in to uber rez and all die.

I hope Anet reads this and realizes this list is exactly what’s wrong with the event.

I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not. I feel like it is…. but I just don’t know.

Although there is a cap to this, as we saw in the scarlet events. Sometimes it filled up so much you still couldn’t join a party then join in whatever map it was.

On a side note, I think BG is going to have a lot of guesting soon.

I’m not really wanting to read through all of this, but I believe the issue is that most people won’t or don’t want to optimize their gear at level 35. It’s 1000 times easier to find a lvl 80 with at least full rare (most likely full exotic/ascended trinkets) than it is to find a lvl 35 with full rares. Most of them don’t even have at level masterwork.

As always, nope

A lot of people are getting this and I don’t think it helps to switch. The only comment Josh had on the matter (that I’ve read) was that it’s new content so a lot of people are doing it… aka causing lag.

I didn’t experience the lag too badly, just a bit here and there. That was until I got to the lilly pads on the frog boss. The things cost me about 5 continue coins

Most people know about guesting. It’s a band-aid fix for a stupid issue. Lets stay focused on fixing the core problem in this thread.

I forgot how easy it is for people to complain about anything on these forums.

When an exotic dropped, it was a weapon and a stat. You now get to PICK your weapon with pre-selected stat. Just be happy, kitten, and play the game.

what’s so wrong about being rich?

The plebeians hate you.

Wat’s a plebeian?

i think it is a type of banana :P

HAHAHA! Made my day.

Warrior or guard. Mesmer is a good choice but more complicated/situational to use.

Definitely not ranger. Even though he said he wasn’t a troll… he pretty much was.

Hahahahahahahaha. This thread….. hahahahahahahaha. People like OP are why rangers have a bad rep.

Araziel.7201:

I think that’s the first time I’ve seen a TL;DR that was longer than the reading part.

Hahahaha. I pretty much came here to say this but it was buried. I’m glad somebody else caught it. Maybe in this case, it stands for “too long; don’t read”

I would love to see a new thread started with “Empty Promises” as the title. It would just be all quotes from devs saying “we are working on this”.

inb4… i’m way too lazy.

muni.4830:

Why did you even attempt to roll out an update the day after everyone returned after Labor Day weekend and how come “quality control” didn’t spot monthly’s being reset?

I highly doubt that this update was ‘unfinished’ the day before it was set to go live.

With that being said, what quality control?

Bunda.2691:

I too agree that mesmers need more shiftiness.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Some might say you….capitalized ….on that one

Clockwork Bard.3105:

Aaaaand their price promptly doubles. Now I’m regretting not farming the Living Gold Mine.

Just because they are the new hype. These seem rather nice actually…

Lol, come on guys. OP is obviously joking. There’s no way he’s serious…. right? Please say yes.

colesy.8490:

Since when has “GD” ever been short-hand for guardians?

Like … seriously?

Too funny =)

In order to be on par with other classes in terms of pets/clones/minions etc, mesmers should be allowed to freely place clones/phantasms without having a target.

But sure, yeah, scream nerf because you still can’t figure out mesmers. They were ‘OP’ at first because people didn’t understand them. People crying they need more nerfs are just bad.

Spirit rangers run around spvp with an army of spirits. Necromancers do the same with minions. Guardians do the same with conjured weapons. Eles could place a sword/hammer down and pick it up before comabat. Mesmers have to wait for their target to spawn clones/phantasms and hope they aren’t blinding/invuln/obstructed, etc.

Marduh.4603:

Chaos Armor – totally useless

This is the big sign that says “I don’t know anything about Guild Wars 2”

Redscope.6215:

This item is completely worthless.

You can buy basic salvage kits for karma.

Did you all just forget that?

Unlimited use that takes up one inventory slot. Did you just forget that? Not everything is about money.

colesy.8490:

lol’d at everyone besides you dying at the end. Think I need to save that link whenever I tell people about “killing a boss before it kills you” when discussing zerker gear.

Yes, save that link. Then when a full PTV group kites the mob around the room for 10 minutes so they can miss a pull when somebody goes down from agony and have the boss reset…. You can whip that video out and say “look how stupid they are”…. oh wait, nvm.

Stop complaining about people complaining.

Also, you’re wrong. CoF p1 is the easiest dungeon, not Arah p1. Quit using Anet logic and use real logic.

I would say Badges of honor (especially if you have a lot saved up from achievements). However, with your options, I think AC. Mainly because you can run all 3 paths (about equal difficulty) while hotw p2 and p3 are somewhat longer due to stupid high healthpools

Bright.9160:

Lolwut, I go on a holiday for almost 2 months, come back, hear there was a reward overhaul, and, thinking back to the promises they made around the time I left about ‘revamping dungeon rewards’, I expect something that was at least slightly better than what we had before, only to find out they screwed up everything. GG Anet, you literally did everything wrong you possibly could with this update.

• You took away every incentive to redo a dungeon path, effectively creating exclusivity within guilds, making people stick in one group, bar everyone else and make it some competition to be able to get a dungeon group. Make this stuff character bound (or at least the tokens), or you’ll effectively break up multiple guilds, I can assure you that much.

• Missed the correct dungeon path rewards by a long shot. Here is a more sensible reward sheet in my humble opinion, coming from someone who actually knows dungeons

AC P1: 1g
AC P2: 1.5g
AC P3: 1g

CM P1: 1.5g
CM P2: 2g
CM P3: 1g

TA UP: 1g
TA F/U: 1.5g (screw the haters, this path is flipping easy)
TA F/F: 1.5g

SE P1: 1g (maybe even 50s, because this path is stupid easy)
SE P2: 2.5g (this path is stupid long, maybe 2g, but seeing how everyone despises this path, the extra 50s might make it that some people would bother doing it)
SE P3: 1.5g

CoF P1: 50s
CoF P2: 1g
CoF P3: 2g

HoTW P1: 1.5g
HoTW P2: 2.5g (2g if you tone down the healthpools, because they’re just stupid high)
HoTW 3: 2.5g (see my comment at p2)

CoE P1: 1.5g
CoE P2: 1.5g
CoE P3: 1.5g

Arah P1: 3g
Arah P2: 2.5g
Arah P3: 2g (it’s easier than some other paths I ranked lower, but it takes better players to do, and it’s Arah, so imo, it deserves more)
Arah P4: 3g

Honestly, make the rewards character based, and put DR on the gold rewards, use the gold rewards that I proposed, or some variant (they’re not perfect, but at least more sensible than whatever bullkitten you guys came up with), and you’ll actually have made a good update.

Here you go Anet, Bright nailed it. Now all you have to do is go in an change a couple of numbers. Do you think you can handle that? Go ahead, take a week, you’ll probably need it to make sure all your decimals are in the right place.

Recipe requires charged lodestone (2+gold) on top of ori ingots, etc. for a ONE TIME use. Do you really think CoF runners are going to say “Hey, we don’t need a mesmer, I’ll just drop this 2.5+gold item to get us post boulders each time”

This is news to me.

While I have you here, do you have a moment to speak about our lord-savior Search feature? It will surely change your life.

I don’t like Charr

This is news to be, and completely appalling.

What an idiotic mistake. I’m sure we will hear some BS story just like the izerker bug and the horrible ‘pentagon’ picture.

It’s almost impossible to be boon-less in this game in a party, this needs to be fixed ASAP

Pyroatheist.9031:

Just for the record, you don’t seem to understand what the shattercat build means. Shattercat = shatter build made by Osicat. All of the shattercat variations are his. If someone else makes a build, it is not a shattercat variation because Osi didn’t make it -_-.

Sorry, this has been bugging me with your continued posting of subpar shatter builds tagged kittentercats.

Woah sorry bro I didn’t mean to offend…but Iv’e never posted a build on the forums before, so I don’t know what you mean. I run a variation of shattercat mist myself. I assure you I know of Osicat’s builds, and I have a lot of respect for him. I just don’t know why one wouldn’t use a weapon slot

I don’t believe he was talking to you.

Also sword is so good with all offhands it wouldn’t be unheard of to go sword/sword & sword/focus or sword/pistol.

If you trait to lower sword cooldowns + precision that means your skills on MH will always be lower, without having to use two traits (in different lines). Also, you can use 4 sigils instead of 3 now.

+1. This sucks.

On top of taking away from other aspects of the game because it’s “LIMITED!” , it’s an easy way to mask bad content. We don’t expect much because it’s every two weeks. If there is bad content the player base (for the most part) will just say “eh, it’s only two weeks” however if it’s good content then the player base will rush to do it all in the two weeks it’s available.

Xavi.6591:

The fix to veil is a nerf imo.

Agreed

Just another punishment for people who don’t like to play 1 and only 1 class.

" You knew it when you put them in and did it anyway to get people to do the dungeons"

You knew what it took to get a legendary when you decide to try an make one. By the way, the dungeon part has to be one of the easiest if not THE EASIEST part of a legendary.

Bukkebruse.2810:

AC is clearly .5g above the others because the devs wanted to encourage us to run the new reworked dungeon that turned out to be a disaster. Tssk

Nailed it.

Agreed. Make sure it’s Account wide and not per character. Why should those that take the time to level up and gear out other characters get a benefit!

RIP = Rest in peace.

RIP in peace = Rest in peace in peace

LoBo.1724:

tetrodoxin.2134:

Mesmer (with no speed Runes):
Swap to focus
Cast Temporal Curtain
Switch back to normal weapon
Blink
Open trait menu
Switch to Far-Reaching Manipulations (reset Blink)
Blink again
Undo Far-Reaching Manipulations
Swap to staff
180° turn, Phase retreat, 180° turn
Repeat.

Most other classes:
Equip Signet/trait.

Makes me feel like Captain Kirk when I’m following my group in WvW.

If you’re really have to keep doing that routine over and over again to keep up with your mates you should consider creating a macro for it through your mouse or keyboard.

Or simply get hasted by mates, and not unnecessarily dying alone so you won’t have to run back unhasted.

Lol, he wants to see you banned.
