The goal of the event is to succeed. Intentionally failing it is subverting the intended game play the developers created.
Right, so let ANet handle it. The self-appointed GW police force isn’t needed.
I don’t see the “worse than LoL” rage that you people keep going on about. The troll that killed the Blix farm that I was at was the one boasting about his massive heroic kitten while everyone else joked along with him or ignored and left. I get the feeling anti-farm folks are the toxic ones here.
Wake up and smell the roses please.. it is running 24/7.. once one map occasionally slips up cos its scaling fails as players logout.. the rest move to another map copy.. its a permanent issue hence the enormity of the exploit now pretty soon 000’s of players will have amassed everything they need.. tonight they were already bragging of their number of loot bags today, the amount of exotics etc they have farmed from it and all the mats they could think of.. there were even a few “better” shinnies being chat linked by the relentless ones that they have looted over the last few weeks.
As for leaving.. and go where .. to the next Orr map running the same exploit so players wanting to run the events legitimately cant because of the griefing or extensive scaling to spawn the maximum champs possible whilst ensuring those legitimate players don’t cause that “one mistake”.
But please do keep trying to justify the exploit some more.
I waited 5 hours this afternoon for Blix after it failed the very first round. I even switched to several maps and none had the event. The one that I just found lasted for a few runs before failing to defend Pent killed it. Please tell me how and where you are finding Blix 24/7 I want to farm more uninterrupted, thanks.
People link their shinies after world bosses all the time – it’s natural for players to brag. I’m not sure why you’re singling out Blix farmers like they’re the scum of the earth, when must of us are just playing the game and doing what we think is fun and profitable.
Anyway. Once the event gets nerfed, I’ll be sure to count the number of players that actually do the event and its chain legitimately. Probably three on a good day.
Blix doesn’t need a nerf. All it takes is one mistake and the farm is over for an hour or more. It doesn’t run 24/7, so profits aren’t very stable. If you can’t stand the farm for whatever reason then feel free to leave/ignore while it’s running. Don’t be a whiteknighting troll and mess up the fun for people who do want to farm. Talk about first world problems yeesh.
Iron ingots are created using armorsmith, huntsman, artificer or weaponsmith starting at 75.
I find lore friendly names to be boring and forgettable unless it’s for an RP character. Funny names are what I tend to remember and I always enjoying seeing what people come up with.
Moto is secretly a cross-dresser.
Its not solo’able as far as i can tell..you need to all get to the gates before they open 4/5 at the gate…its not opening. When your solo this changes? I would be surprised and actually quite happy about that.
When you’re by yourself only one err key? on the checkpoint will light up. So yea it changes depending on how many people entered the instance.
Well, I tried it. I made it to King Toad, wasted my supply of twenty-something continue coins and logged out. Whomever states that SAB is solo content is out of their gourd. No offense but it’s true. Now, if you will excuse me I must go out and purchase a new keyboard as King Toad has left mine missing a few function keys.
The King Toad can be difficult the first time around. Watch his eyes, they’ll tell you where his next attack will come from. Once you know when to dodge, it’s all a matter of attacking the jewel, picking up the pieces and throwing them into his mouth when it’s open.
Anyway. I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience, but really the only benefit to being in a group for SAB is to have them carry you through checkpoints. Maybe you should use guides next time if you’re unsure of what to do.
2. The event failed often because players farmed aetherblades. If all commanders worked together and there was no farming, then the chance of success would be quite high. But there was no reason to win, because you get rewarded regardless.
I agree that there should be more variety to events other than killling mobs, it’s lazy design and one that encourages zerging rather than strategy. However, Anet is trying to make harder content with multiple objectives. We’ll have to see if this works in the open world with the Teq revamp, though I highly doubt it will be popular in the long run. Once the farmers/achieve hunters move on, there won’t be enough people able to complete such a complicated event.
I just got credit for it so it must be a display problem.
Ooo this looks fun
Main profession – I’m assuming you want ingame profession and not IRL lol. Mesmer > Ele > Guard. I have all professions at 80, but I enjoy those three the most. If played correctly they bring a lot of support and utility to the group.
Favourite colour – All as long as they’re used correctly.
Favourite animal – Chicken. Delicious and adorable!
Favourite mythical creature – Griffon.
Favourite school discipline and/or graduation major – Graphic design.
Favourite type of vehicle – Don’t care for vehicles. I like to stay indoors.
Weapon of choice – Greatsword.
Favourite ancient culture – Egyptian.
Most important stat – Intelligence.
Religion – Atheist.
All SAB skins are ugly. If they didn’t have the lightsaber glow effect nobody would bother getting them.
Lol I can’t believe this thread is still going. Look OP, is it going to kill you to at least attempt SAB World 1 Zone 1 on infantile mode? It takes less than a minute to get to the boss, and he dies even faster. That doesn’t sound like super difficult group content now does it…
But you seem too stubborn to be convinced otherwise. So to answer your original question: not counting ascended weapons/crafting to 500, there are no other solo content for this patch.
SAB is soloable. World 2 might be a pain by yourself if you’re not good with jumping, though.
Awesome. When is this coming?
Sept 17th. Farm the event early before the majority of players lose interest and move onto something else.
Turn off post processing in your graphics settings.
It’s a bug caused by culling removal. If I were to look at you ingame, your character will have her weapons unsheathed.
That’s a lot of clicking…
Pffft pen and paper are for noobs – I memorized all the maps I’ve done :P That being said, a tracker is definitely needed for achievements (and a non-useless suggested locations feature would be nice). I had no idea which maps had invasions until I checked the forums. I thought they would pop on every map except for Orr if I waited long enough…meh.
Invasions are netting me a decent amount of gold. Before that it was embers, pavilion, world events and the occassional dungeon run. I wish t6 mats/lodestones would drop more often so I don’t have to farm the gold to buy them…
Love the tonic but not the unnecessary long cooldown between transforms…
Portal Invasion Closer under Vorpp’s Field Assistant tab is the achievement you’re looking for. For that you need to end 5 invasion events.
Same thing happened in Maguuma. Shame really, I’m trying to help my friend (who has limited play time) get back into the game and so far this patch is not helping.
How about Xolotl in Caledon Forest?

When you’re anywhere in the Quetzal Bay area, he constantly spams the same dialogue. But when you start fighting him, he transforms everyone into various animals, which is annoying as hell. No one ever bothers to fight him, unless they are really annoyed by his dialogue.
Watch for his jump animation. If you dodge while he’s in the air you won’t be transformed. The last time I fought him he didn’t drop a champ chest for me, just the normal event chest (I guess it’s because he doesn’t actually die?)
Use this interactive map Divinity’s Reach to track events. There’s no timer for champions but the ones in Queensdale respawn fairly quickly anyways.
Dulfy.net has a guide with routes for the runs. It’s super easy I don’t understand how you’re having that much trouble with it.
- DEs/hearts are just cleverly disguised fetch, kill x amount of enemies or escort quests. I kinda want something like Runescape’s quest system…most quests gated behind grind but still. Doing quests unlock previously restricted areas and grants the player items/abilities that no one else has. Now that’s meaningful progression.
- Achievements turning into a task list for living story.
- The clunky camera and limited fov. Seriously, my camera is pointed at the ground 90% of the time. If I try to look up at the sky I get a nice view of my characters’ behinds.
- Balancing pve around pvp. Just…no.
- No way to dye weapons.
- Can’t save traits or dye combos.
- Temporary festivals.
- Vets and champ mobs are just giant hp pinatas.
- Loot table filled with too many junk items. I don’t need anymore porous bones tyvm…
- My mesmer is so slow =(
You can keep the skin but you need to use transmutation stones/crystals.
The worst thing about Kiel winning is having to listen to Evon supporters throw tantrums over a fake video game election.
Male sylvari has the nicest voice…that accent <3 I also really like male human (whose VA is Nolan North I think?). Makes playing shout guard and warrior much more enjoyable heh.
In no particular order…
- Urmaug’s Secret in LA
- Demongrub Pits in Queensdale
- King Jalis’s Refuge in Snowden Drifts
- Spelunker’s Delve in Caledon
- Crimson Plateau and Grendich Gamble in Diessa (Wall Breach Blitz is easy too if you know where to go)
- Loreclaw Expanse in Plains of Ashford (use the route around the traps)
- Vizier’s Tower in Straits of Devastation
- Buried Archives in Cursed Shore
- Shaman’s Rookery in Wayfarer
- Behem Gauntlet in Blazeridge
- Pig Iron Quarry in Fireheart Rise
- Under New Management in Southsun
I got world completion twice and not once did I have to fight other players. Unless your server is always losing, you should be able to get all areas after two or three resets.
Lol am I the only girl that enjoys playing male characters and can’t stand playing as a female? Anyways. I have all classes at 80 and I like guard, mesmer, warrior, ele and engie. Necro, thief and ranger are sitting there collecting dust. Which is strange because in other games I always go for the ranged or stealth class, but in this one meleeing is so much more fun.
…starting to think you have targetting issues cause you inexperienced.
Nah I actually didn’t have any problems until I switched to left click targetting and dead enemies with negative health suddenly becoming clickable. If you ever tried to target stuff during a balthazar escort while everyone and everything around you is invisible, and your frame rate is <20, you’ll know what I mean.
Have you tried unchecking the right click to attack/interact in options?
Even when this option is disabled, I still end up clicking allies and dead enemies (why are they still targetable? they’re dead!). I hate relying on tab targetting/auto target cuz it never picks up the target that I want. What sucks is the sticky target option is sorta there, but you have to be in a group to utilize it.
I wish Anet would stop giving me free gold. I don’t need handouts! Seriously, delete the badges if you hate them so much. Takes like two seconds of your time. Geez.
A. Its not free you have to get a certain amount of AP to get said rewards.
B. Not as if the handouts came at the expense of other players.
I was making fun of OP for complaining about getting stuff for AP. He should be happy we’re getting anything at all. As for your second point, how are a few badges hurting someone’s ability to play this game? Is managing items and inventory space efficiently a difficult concept to grasp?

Are you sure he wasn’t a mesmer clone? I’ve never seen any NPC spawn next to Claw, otherwise.
- I made a berserker gs and transmuted the stats over to the mystic claymore…except the mystic claymore by default came with berserker stats :|
- Tried crafting medium armor with armorsmith
- Asked a friend to craft said medium armor even though I have 400 leatherworker
- Made a fat charr mesmer. I can’t port anyone because doing JPs with him is a nightmare
Finally got him after 10 tries. You just have to be reallyyyy lucky and be able to cancel all his heals at the right time.
Dang nice! Did you notice a pattern to his heals? When I tried the other day it seemed he’d either use it as soon as it got off cd or the turn after (and usually the first time was on round 3-5).
It appeared that he healed every 2-3 drinks and sometimes after he belches. To be honest, I must’ve gotten lucky because he started using critique at 50% hp while I was still at full health (spamming bluff helps). That along with boast kept be alive long enough to finish him off. So my only advice is trust your instincts lol.

Yeah I have a problem with the chest…I don’t know which skin to pick QQ
Try changing maps. I didn’t get one at log in but I went to the mists and I got the chest.
Open on Maguuma.
I got one from a nightmare courtier about two weeks ago. I flipped out because I haven’t had one drop for over 1k hours.
Entrance isn’t working either. On Maguuma.
You could buy me Sunrise.
…I have more hours than you and I don’t have even a 1/4 of your wealth. Would you mind send a few coins my way? And congrats. Hope you get your legendary
