Tequatl will take as long as a temple event with the addition of having the best rewards in the game, i fail to see how that won’t be enough to bring everyone there when its up.
Temple events only take 5mins each and that is only cause of timers what are you complaining about they already made it so you don’t need to do gates of arah to get in. Come to maguuma we do all world bosses in 2 hours every single day. We also want more people for wvw we are 7th and rising and that is only because we have no daytime players. If it was an easy event rewards from it would quickly become worthless and no one would do also. To kittenly an army can do which is what you expect from a fricking dragon.
hard is aparently a curse word
if you click join commander squad you only see one commander icon i think this would solve all your confusion.
Basically what Kryel said. She was just outside of the effects of the Dragonbranding.
What’s more plot interesting is how Aesgir knocked out Jormag’s tooth without becoming corrupted.
There use to be more then 4 spirts of the wild there where like over 1k of them fighting with him
Also he had a super magic scroll which essentially made him 100x stronger then the human gods. Apparently the priory are hunting for it. Anyway some of the pregw2 battles would make great fotm I hope they come out sooner rather then latter. Also improve fotm rewards like you did with wvw it is supost to be the end game dugion.
I want to point out lore form 4 winds. That dragons are like sponges that soak up the magic around them. We know when dragons die there magic is released into the world. Hense glints death and increased power of the zepherites. Most likely through Ziatans death all dragons will become more powerful. Do you really think the 5 races couldn’t kill elder dragons before and we can now. They probly chose not to due to the exponential growth of dragon power that would occur would cause an enemy that could not be defeated. Teq being the closest dragon to Zitains death would make sense he is first to see an increase in power due to his death. If this is true hope of defeating all 6 is probly impossible. Also would explain why Primortus hasn’t risen, waiting for use to kill off the rest of the dragons and his power to increase.
Sorry typos
Megadestroyer was already pretty interesting except they always forgot about it when it came to rewards. When they added bonus chests? No chest for Megadestroyer. When they added Dragonite Ore? Not Dragonite Ore for Megadestroyer. Hopefully they won’t forget again.
The important thing here is that they bosses are actually more interesting and not just a larger pile of HP and harder hitting skills. That isn’t really more interesting or necessarily harder. See karka queen for an example of that particular failure.
What are you talking about karka queen is super easy and has highest rewards in the game 5 champ boxes 2 rares/exotics and nice loot? If anything she is to week. Rue about mega being left out though.
First of all karka queen is quite easy you can do it with 40 people. Where it is true you cant start it solo. What you do is you get zerg doing boss events to move to karka when no other world bosses most commanders are able to do so. Killed her in 2mins before honestly once you know the mechanic trow eggs at her she is really easy. And guess what if you have a small server that can rarely do events you can guest onto a larger server and get your events done although they will probably hate you do to the overflow.
I welcome a gradient of boss difficulty easy to hard. you should not be able to stand at the feet of a dragon choping off its toes without any reprisals. Honestly though kitten was the one that needed the update more then teq.
Didn’t Teq kill our mentor in my story. As far as personal vendettas go it probably should be most hated dragon among the player population. Is this part of lore for Teq?
Maybe the blue shading of colossus was their magic which was drained by the dragons in a previous rising. And maybe with magic returning to the land with each dragon defeat we might just see their reawakening. whither they are dead or hibernating due to low magic within them we won’t know unless they rise. also if they perposly did it to avoid the dragons is also something that might have happened. Maybe the cultist in the fractal where containing the colossus for a dragon to absorb its energy.
So you arn’t counting the 100-1000 people who died when scarlet bombed the exits. Through dugion we only saved 3 people. Not really an accomplishment in any respect. Because of the dark undertone it is necessary to vibrant entertainment to counteract it. Otherwise everyone would lock themselves in their rooms and slowly starve to death. The community has to think we are winning; hence dragon bash and other festivals. I expect bubbles to resink ore and claim the magical hot spots for himself.
Wasn’t the reset of MF items suppost to make them account bound? Mine are all soul bound.
I want to point out there is and MF peak performance at 150% currently did they say they are going to change that? They mentioned a new method to get but they didn’t mention changing the mechanic i think.
If there is path for fotm weapons to become ascendable i would be really happy
Does this potion work for temple of grenth?
1 twilight took 6 months to get with heavy playing. I bout everything when dusk was 750g. So took me a bit to get. I’m not motivated to fight for any of the other legendarily whose effects I see as significantly lesser.
You forgot Halloween and Christmas recurring festivals in your list.
Also i think that if you are looking at amount of content added as a measuring stick the different game play between Gw1 and Gw2 might be a strong factor.
Not to mention that Anet already said that first year was going to be all temporary where 2nd is more perm content.
can you still fall into the arena?
There are ettins to the west.
There’s no case of body snatching as far as we know. Isgarren invites people to the tower. If the people who are invited up are being used as experiments or some such, this matches the White Mantle’s MO as they’ve done it before (Chosen) and had 2 members trying to enter the tower in GW1.
Elementals have nothing to do with Verata, who was a necromancer.
They do if they are powered by human souls like in the theory. All the disappearing children is a really strange occurrence. That if we don’t/can’t investigate is a real disappointment.
The hive mind of the pale tree makes it possible. When silvary are born they are born with knowledge of all previous generations. however, they don’t have the experience so it makes them do stupid things. Almost alway comic relief in first 2 books at least.
They only planed on 3 novels. but seeing how great they sold they will probably make more to fill lore gaps. So many great characters to fallow. Would be especially good for people who missed living story events.
Spoiler alert:
I thought the nightmar court were servents of craggy. From Gw2 2nd novel they tryed to get glint killed also they said that you would be safe from the dragon rising if you joined them. Kragy demostrated some mez abilities when fighting Glint also becoming transparent like a cloud for a montain that is a large feat.
The only way you can do it is if you don’t zerg it and don’t level the events. a vet boss is always easier and can be soloed unlike a champ boss due to zerging. most groups that zerg cant actually complete it from my limited experience.
Id say no because infinity cube weapons where not added. They will probably come back every time arena does though so no worries. I agree waste of gold though.
Snaff died cause Logan took his personal teleporter which was their teams escape rout putting them against a wall. Snakitten invention is how we use waypoints now can teleport everywhere you already been.
inflation is a good thing cause more g/gem and that will suport anet continued free updates. So welcome the inflation, it doesn’t make items harder to get. gets easier to make but everything cost more creates a wakitten isn’t like the real economy where wages are constant. Anet continues to find new ways to pay us for our time.
I say time bomb scavenger hunt is coming either way. I think the way she was blinking around had to be mez. Which would also explain how she controlled the clockworks.
can still so multiple run of cof for exp i thought that is wast post is about. Alsa gold you get for that many runs is much more then you ever got from cof in same amount of time so what is your point. you get more g/hour then you did soley farming one path no matter how you cut it. what I don’t like is how they say AC is harder then Coe or hotw by having the gold drop be higer i think that is a joke.
Use lfg you can still get a cof run ever 2mins. So i don’t know what you are talking about.
Playing as bad guys won’t work game.
But I would like to play a hero with a dark side (mercenary, real thief, spy, or letting us choose which factions to help in a LS).
IT\t does you let the bad guys and good guys carve out territories in game and kill each other. It would be simple too have a setting under game options titled affiliation which will change depending on living world and give you a sub title. Of Course there would be a neutral option too. It would be one way to let people shape the world as they want it. let people fight on side they want during living stories not the side you decide Anet. This would make a true living world.
Just like Snaff best Asura ever
If enough people want it it just might happen. Revenge for Evon.
I was hoping for the door to the Elonia desert to being opened, but a bunch of people have quoted Colin, that no new zones will be added this year.
So, most likely aetherblade related.
Southsun makes that a lie though doesn’t it not to mention the Bizarre of the 4 winds both where new zones on the map in the first year. So who knows what is to come. That is not saying it will be in the next update though.
You get Jenga<-combine two names
Maybe we are getting a timed dungeon bomb in depths/crypts of divinities reach. Most updates are temporary dungeons. You combine flames and a clock you have a time bomb and game is to find it before it explodes. It would be funny if they made this a one time event and the servers that didn’t disarm it would loose divinities reach.
It would be funny if the aeither blade pirates are a group keeping a dragon at bay and by defeating them we then have to face a new dragon. Sylvari view it as there mission to fight the elder dragons. Scarlet might not be deviating from this give all races common enemy so that the band to gather and fight it (like code gleas).
it could aswell be an axe,im looking for the best warriors ever to walk tyria ^^,its not restricted to swordplay
I would say it has to be Asgeir the dragonrender then who fought Jormag in single combat and ripped out his tooth. Did what the entire pack did but solo. This achievement is peerless among mortals or even the gods.
Wasn’t molten alliance 4 months of char and norn story lines? and I think you can say lion arch celebration to any one race. Also you only say that cause keil won the election.
From what I notice with my warr is you can block them with the shield but endure pain (immortality) and doge roll doesn’t work on them. Which are suppose to block all damage dealt. I usually use shield to kill all adds after grouping them up.
Still haven’t finished yet.
The “Keelhaul the fractalstealer [Kiel]” guild along with others will make a public demonstration on the Desolation server for the adding the Fall of Abaddon fractal at some point.
Places: LA marketplace and Divinity’s reach Crown Pavillion.
Req: Evon badges and enthusiasm, also a torch + a fiery dragon sword, if possible, as a symbol of light in the dark age of Kiel’s councillorship.
Date: 28th of August.
you should mention a specific server so all protesters can concentrate
10. “Everyone, I beat the boss!……everyone…hello?”
Problem
The tier system makes no sense. Some bosses are easier than others and in the end putting them in tiers really doesn’t matter. What is worse is that you don’t really get an achievement for defeating a boss. It seems so anticlimactic to just pop out after a fight and be standing there. No achievement, no fanfare, just a shrug.Solution
Each boss should have an achievement. That would allow players to see the list and work their way though what to many is most important, beating the boss. The gambits are for those players who want extra hardcore achievements. The satisfaction of at least seeing each boss checked off the list with some points for my trouble would be a lot nicer.11. Dome Buggy
Problem
It’s buggy. Quite simply this place has more bugs than Internet Explorer 3.1. For a long list of the bugs, see the bugs, or Queen’s Jubilee sections of this forum.Solution
Fix them. Or, try to not create time limited content in a short production window that hasn’t had time to be properly tested.12. WikiDulfia
Problem
Difficult content is totally cool. Content that insta-wipes you and doesn’t even give you a chance to figure out the mechanics is worse, put time limited content in the game is horrible. These three factors means that many players must resort to third party sites to figure out how to beat the boss. You may as well put out a magazine called “ArenaNet Power” that gives tips and tricks because for some, they just have no other means of sorting out the mechanics.I went straight online after the first fight because after blasting through 5 tickets, I realized I don’t have the time to waste getting insta-wiped and starting all over.
Solution
The game should be self contained. Players should be able to solve the mechanics of the game without having to resort to online tutorials or forum posts to do so. If the mechanics are designed as such that they’re too unforgiving, or too vague, you need to rethink what is happening.
Notice I didn’t say anything about the difficulty? I am not here to slam how difficult or challenging it is. Other than the limited time available to learn and beat the fight (remember how we complained about the last dungeon, or the Trials ANet?), it is pretty ok.
The problem is when you add in all these other factors, what could potentially be an amazing activity becomes a long, drawn out, expensive, and frustrating experience for many players.
I have more ideas in terms of arena design, and such, but I’ll leave that for now.
Regarding 12, because you’re arguing from the standing point that Liadri actually instantly kills you without you having a chance at trying out the mechanics and thus figuring out how the fights work. This is a false claim as we have huge red circles showing us where to avoid standing, white vortexes that combined with the boons the boss have gives you a hint to what you’re meant to do, and walking into one of the visions of mortality one time will be enough to tell you to avoid doing it again.
Regardless of how you do content, people are going to go to the wiki or dulfy or curse or mmo-champion or whatever other source you may think off that might provide them with a quick fix for their failing, that is not the contents fault, that is the mentality of the players.
As for your other points I mostly agree, but I’ve yet to experience the camera issues you and everyone else seems to be having(Adressed in point #3 on your behalf).
However 9 is also a blatant lie, you’re not required to spend gold on this aside from the repaircosts, which you will easily cover by the time you’ve farmed the tickets, combined with the full reward of 3.5g (50s,1g,2g) you’re actually able to obtain quite a profit from it. There is no requirement nor necessity for the various buffs and while they do help, it is as always perfectly volountary to actually buy and use them, this is again not at all related to the content.Aside from the above you’ve got the right idea!
You deserve an imaginary jaffacake, my treat!
regarding your regarding of question 12
Some of you points are moot cause the red circles cant be seen on orange grated floors. Just cause you can see the circles doesn’t mean everyone can individuals have different applitudes in recognizing color contrast(no matter who you are red on orange is very little contrast). Also even if you get out of them sometimes you still die cause of the 250ms natural graphics lag where game still recognizes you as inside it even though you left it. This is not counting the lag from zergs mining the pavilion for drops slowing down your game.
Why do the either blades attack dignitaries on the ground and not when the hot air balloons are in the air?
What is the point of having flying ships if you aren’t going to use it.
How good would it be if they create a more stable bizerker bleed build(aka Gutz). 60%bleed on critics with sigil of earth rocks when combined with bleed duration. Make it rain blood.
Precision/Crit damage/Condition damage: armor and jewelry

Precision/Crit damage/Condition damage
I’m not sure if this is confirmed though but mobs do percent damage in attacks which is why alot say vitality builds don’t work. I think this is proven in fractals where a theif only takes 2k per hit but myself as a war takes 10k per hit from ice elemental. So warriors with higher health pools take more damage then other players. There for their passive healing needs to be higher to heal the higher damage they take. It is hard to directly compare different classes unless you use a standard scale to re-reference them onto which is Basic statistics(can compare a math and science exam for example other wise).
Is this a valid argument for the way they assigned passive healing values?
I know most wars don’t want to talk about this. But healing war with banners heals 30k over per banner not to mention banner buffs you get. You can easily get infinite healing for a large group by just including one. from perspective of WvW this could be very valuable. Wars group heals rivals guardians now just like to point that out. 1 war can easily heal over 200 people in a zerg this way 10 ticks of heal per banner each giving 4 secs of heal.
Someone probably already pointed this out.
I was wondering if any of those nice reduce damage taken increased damage taken potions will help with last boss in Gauntlet(Liadri).
PS i think title length is to short can even ask a question.
I cant get past phase 1 with my war half berserker/half rampage with rifle/greatsword the camera angles are killing me over and over any suggestions?
I think a bigger problem is the camera angle and the grated floor of the gauntlet both make it impossible to see what is going on in the fight. Camra angle bounces all over the place when fighting cause of the curved arena. Also, AOE circles hard to see cause of grating(which you have to dodge or die). Not to mention it is red on black contrast.
This makes the fights much harder then they actually are. Not saying they are impossible but this is attributed to the design of the arena and not the actual fight. And if this was not added to intentionally add difficulty I think it is something that needs to be looked at
I thought this would be a place where we would discuss how to kill Kraggy. Motivation is obvious: Revenge for Snaff. We are all commanders of the pact now, how should we approach/fight Kraggy aka the flying mountain?
Id just like to point out that if Snaff didn’t die all the elder dragons would be dead by now. The technology he built and utilized is still unrivaled today. T-T
She’s responsible for an Elder Dragon being alive today. Logan ran to save her, instead of saving the world.
There is no proof that having Logan at the fight would have changed the outcome. Yes, they would have had a better shot by purely a numbers standpoint but the second you change 1 variable in a process the previous outcome becomes void.
In book it clearly states that logan would have given time need to one Slay the Elder dragon and 2 Keep Snaff alive. With Snaff all 5 elder dragons would be dead already. Only Asura who made war machines. That was true loss of that fight.
With Queens death though Treaty with Char is broken and world is kittened. I want to point that out.
