Try getting there earlier or joining a guild dedicated to slaying Tequatl (TTS, for example).

tomlin.8204:

Will I get generic “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” comments if I say I’m ready to leave this game? Perhaps I’ve been thinking of it the wrong way all the time. I wanted a game I could devote my time to but I see now there is absolutely nothing for me to do outside of these updates.

Run dungeons – for what purpose?
Farm gold – for what purpose?
Champ trains – lol
WvW – for what purpose?
PvP – for what purpose?

There’s only one fun profession (Ele of course) my personal story died over a year ago and the RNG is worse than any game I have played, ever.

>log in
>run around in circles
>log out

Looking too deep into it. What game does really hold a greater purpose, anyway? A game is played to be enjoyed, and if you’re not enjoying it anymore, well… don’t let the door hit you on the way out (Sorry, couldn’t resist).

Blade Syphon.4325:

Because to be frank, I do not want to do this ridiculous ascended grind ever again. It’s not challenging, it’s not fun, and it sure as hell isn’t all that rewarding either for the time investment required, and the idea of having to do the exact same thing at a higher level (because we all know that’s what Anet would do) is a prospect that would likely make me, and many others, quit the game.

But let’s play a pretend game that they increased the level cap, but forget about ascended gear forever after that. Exotics would be the highest tier again and a full set would be acquirable in a week or two of intensive playing (or a month with a more relaxed pace).

Would you be opposed to that?

Obviously they’re never going to go back to the “peak power is fast and easy to get” system, because they don’t have anything else to fill the void left by the grind with.

Yes, I’ve geared several characters with Ascended gear, and losing it all would make me, and many others I presume, quit the game.

kittening necromancers, man.

Sarahfull.4930:

You guys are right, Im a horrorable teacher. Im speading toxic ways to new-comers.

I know now:

• The only way to learn in guildwars PvE is zerkers ( all information learnt in other outfits should be thrown under a bus )
• The only way to become better in guildwars PvE is zerkers ( personal rules / goals dont matter unless your in zerker )

Your completely misinterpreting everything said on this thread, and frankly, if you’re so intent on taking offense from everything and discarding it, holding no regard for whatever useful info you can salvage from it, you are terrible student, and a terrible student will always make a terrible teacher.

Good day.

It doesn’t affect you in any way, shape or form, does it? It’s not like there’s a reachable cap of LFG ads, so you can always start your own.

I really don’t get why people want to get rid of things that impact them in no way at all.

I never said I wanted to get rid of it. I’ve always stated exactly the opposite.

Ah, this is starting to become a habit. I apologize if I sounded hostile.

J Eberle.9312:

laharl.8435:

If the fix is so dramatic that skilled play is no longer rewarded, and the game turns into gimmicky puzzles and time gates etc., then gw2 will lose many players.

This is where the game is likely headed if we look at the latest dungeon additions. Be it gradual or one dramatic patch, it will be a real pity.

Aetherblade path is fun and the “new” fractals were stuff we already had.
Some puzzles are alright if also paired with challenging content.

LittleLepton.8915:

I’ll start snapping my fingers like I’m on west side story.

Lol. Jokes. I don’t know, I don’t know how I feel about it. If a new build becomes viable I’d actually be happy, but making zerk just less powerful while leaving every thing the else the same kind of blows.

Indeed, I really hope than rather than nerfing zerker gear’s effectivity, they will somehow increase other specs’ viability in dungeons.

I also fail to understand why some people seem to be happy about the possibility of zerker becoming useless. I find it perverse and selfish to celebrate others’ money, time and effort going down the sink. If these are the people that complain about elitist jerks kicking them out of groups, I surely am not sorry for them.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Its getting a bit silly.

LittleLepton.8915:

I guess I don’t understand why a thread about being sad about the zerk meta being gone would be merged with one that is happy about it. Seems like a troll to me…

Same topic, different points of view.

However, that was a wrong move. If anything, what they just did could be compared to forcing two rival gangs into the same room.

They could use the resulting toxicity as an excuse to lock and delete the thread, though. :P

Cat Has Ducks.1982:

FenrirSlakt.3692:

Each little bit helps, though.

Not when they take a 60%(pulled this number out my kitten , but cleric to zerker damage is huge) damage reduction to achieve that….

Well, I’ve never ran Cleric’s or anything that’s not zerker before, so I wouldn’t know.

Unless it’s clearly a speedrun, I don’t mind as long as people can carry their own weight.

Cat Has Ducks.1982:

Urque.6837:

Just because its the highest DPS doesnt make it the best gear. If it was the best gear we wouldnt have other options and all gear would be zerker.

My cleric guardian doesnt do much dps at all but I keep my party alive. There is more to the game than DPS, to say otherwise is ignorant.

Mother of God… I thought this was a troll post since I often joke in party chat about cleric guardian being OP. But please baby Jesus, save my soul from having to read such a vile post….

To say a cleric guardian keeps me alive is ignorant. I’ll tell you what keeps me alive. Blinds/Reflects/Aegis(blocking)/Dodging/CC. It is definitely not a guard dodge roll healing me for 1k HP.

Each little bit helps, though.

That said, I’ve ran zerk from the moment I hit 80 and still run it on every character I play.

Now, on topic, I’ve never kicked a single person from a group because of their lack of experience. All I ask from someone is to already know the most basic game mechanics, such as Evading will negate damage without the need of moving out of that non-persistent AoE AND the ability to listen, watch and do.
I’ve ran dungeons with experienced and inexperienced people alike, and though most of the times the earlier outperforms the latter, I’ve come to randomly meet some of those previously inexperienced people in later runs and see them completely dominate whatever content we’re paired in together.

tl;dr I don’t mind inexperience as long as there’s flexibility, eagerness to learn and improve and proper observing skills.

Is there any statement that clearly states that they’ll nerf Berserkers? If not, why is everyone assuming that instead of considering that they may just bring other builds up to par?

FenrirSlakt.3692:

Asura already control the world.
They shared their gates and waypoints to other races, and now that these are so deeply ingrown, taking them away would shatter the economy and cause general disruption everywhere.
Where do you think all that WP money goes (also, lorewise there’s a cost for using gates, too).

Now, they’re not evil, they just want to be on top, and from an economic point of view, they’re almost there.

Not while Captain Evon Gnashblade, defender of Capitalism, is on the case and in charge of Black Lion!

As if. He probably has a deal with the Asura to avoid major transportation costs. Is is implied that the fastest and most efficient means of travel are gates and waypoints, which means that in order to keep BLTP running as smoothly as we’re all used to, his merchants would require gates and waypoints.

It’s not about evading twice, it’s about having proper positioning and correctly evaluate when to dodge and when to simply sidestep. Not to mention that there are several abilities that can grant you an extra evade, which also gives your endurance bar more time to regenerate and allow you to dodge once more.

I’m not saying that staying at >90% HP is hard or easy, but if someone’s abilities allow him to remain in that threshold, then that person should buy Scholar Runes rather than Ruby Orbs.

Ltomato.8649:

This is a really horrible bug. Happens all the time in Snowblind fractal if you try to pick up a torch just as you get teleported.
Or in Jade Maw if you try to pick up a crystal and get interrupted.
Only solution then is to get downed.

There are several ways to fix this.
1. Downed.
2. Repairing gate/wall.
3. Being struck by movement-displacing CC (Knockback, Pull, Launch).

How about being able to ignore the cap limit if both, you and the person in question, have each other on your friendlist?

Or make it unlimited as soon as an account obtains 7000 AP. I doubt there are many people with that much AP that would like to have their account suspended by spamming.

I usually not complain about things and find a workaround, but this whole targetting issue is ridiculous. Just how hard would it be to make it so that target priority goes something like:
1. Closest Enemy Player.
2. Closest Legendary hostile.
3. Closest Champion hostile.
4. Closest hostile.
5. Neutrals.
And also making it so that these rules apply only to enemies within a radius of, say 2000 Units.
If possible, when downed, also make it so that it prioritises the closest enemy with the lowest remaining health.

Also, there’s also this bloodboiling issue. Why not make HP bars non-interactive? I can’t count the times I’ve tried to place a Temporal Curtain behind some hostiles only to have my character cast it at her feet (I use Instant ground-targetting).

Really, ANET, I like your game quite a lot, but these issues have been around forever and they always cause a great deal of frustration.

They’re made of latex. Next question?

Making pointless Scarlet-bashing threads are usually a petty attempt to fish for +1’s.
You know, those five minutes of fame.

Though not a gamebreaking bug, this could make newer placers dislike the PS even more.

This game has some great music and it’s a shame that it is not put to use.

Ravon the Desecrator.5738:

I would like to ask why is it possible for character to buy armor that is not suitable for him… for instance why can medium armor user buy heavy or light… especially irritating when you buy for dungeon currency and make a mystake (as I did). It is already soulbound so I can not even give it to any of my other characters… It would be nice to have the possibility to sell it back, or at least not make it as soulbound but account bound, or make possible to exchange for another type (for some price maybe).

I could be wrong, but don’t we get a warning message to confirm the purchase when our character won’t be able to wear whatever you buy them?

Zaxares.5419:

Relair.1843:

kitten . Now those are some freaking abs. Spirits bless Norn women.

Fixed.

Fix fixed.

That would be impractical and take too much effort.

Cleanses, Transfers, Cond. duration reduction and not getting interrupted.

Playing wit Okimy.5179:

if thats the case, how come on the LFG ingame it says 1-9 10-19 20-29 30-39 40+

It goes according to Agony Intensity. It scales with every 10 levels (That or they accidentally set the rewards wrong/Forgot to change the LFG tabs).

I don’t get why people are trying to use “This is the Charr forum” as an actual argument. Location and crowd favoritism doesn’t play a role when it comes to define facts. A question was asked here, so it is natural that its answer should be here as well.

Now, norn were downscaled in GW2, as it would be highly impractical to control gigantic characters. Just imagine the JPs…
And even taking height in GW2 as a hard fact, it’s not like a Charr would enjoy having his back straight during combat. To top a norn’s height, a charr needs to put some effort into it, whereas the norn just needs to stand.
Again, this is irrelevant, as Norn are smaller due to game mechanics.

Every race has its strengths and weaknesses. An individual Norn has an edge over an individual Charr, but if we’re talking about battles in a larger scale, the Charr are more likely to claim victory due to their dominion over the art of war.

Though I’m not free of personal bias, I dare say that I like both Charr and Norn, perhaps I’m even more inclined towards the Charr due to their amazing lore.

yayuuu.9420:

Moreover, it requires 100 bolts of silk to create one bolt of damask, while it requires only 50 of any other resources (leather, mithril or elder wood). It makes crafting light armor ridiculously expensive (I guess devs hates light armored classes ;P)

Every armor type needs bolts of damask, though.

Either way, they should reduce the amount of required silk bolts down to 50 (or 75). Having to obtain 300 Silk Scraps on a daily basis is bullkitten.

i have 1 main and 8 alts, only my main is lvl 80.
yeah sure, alt friendly…..-_-

Alt friendly doesn’t equal “Lazy-kitten friendly”.

I have one main and five alts. Four out of five are level 80 and three of them are decently geared.

oh yeah sure, it’s so alt friendly….you need to be on every single day and have no life but it’s alt friendly….

i have a job and not a light one ether, i also have other things to do then playing games.
maybe you have time to waste but i play games for the enjoyment, if the game is made to farm and grind rather then having fun and to relax then i don’t see why the game exists at all.

You’re not the only one with a job/career, mate, but it’s always hilarious to see people use that argument as a last resort.

While I have nothing against the idea of bringing these achievements back, I’d like to ask the people who didn’t complete them one thing: How many complete Fractal runs did you do during those two weeks?

Dawdler.8521:

If you killed a snake, gutted it and made it into a belt, you cant just wave it around and yell “look at the dangerous snake, its going to bite you muahaha!”. Its still a belt.

Risen giants are the same thing. Risen, not giants.

You’re missing the point. I’d like you to log on, check your “Slayer” Achievements and find out how many Giants you have killed from the moment you started playing.

Johnathan Ralston.5871:

Incorrect they actually debuff our total damage before the release of the ascended armor

breaking the promise for a small damage gain-

just to make the game more difficult-

you should try to feel the weight of your character while you play

I have noticed this over the past year but they were all minor before the asc armor, however the damage reduced from the trinkets alone all together is massive.

Now that the armor is out they reduced us greatly again and we have to waste time killing each monster as well as months of grinding just to get back to the same power as before.

Proof/source?
That’s one serious accusation, and as such I’d rather side with ANET, who’s already a more familiar face than with someone of whom I’ve never heard about until now.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

Then the screen goes black and when it comes back on you find yourself naked in a strange bed. Then a dredge shows up saying thanks for the great night

Make it be a LA citizen from a random race. Also, if that race is considerably larger than yours, you become Crippled for the next few minutes. That random NPC must always be male.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

*It’s a fantasy game, everything is possible. *

Though I think it would be better to just give Orr to everyone, since members of all races worked to liberate it.

Though that statement is true, writers have to keep the story consistent and believable. :P

Now, I fully agree with that second paragraph. If any major race were to call dibs on Orr, I don’t think that the other four would simply agree with them and let them have it, as only through the efforts of all major races and some of the lesser could Zhaitan be defeated and Orr cleansed.

Lightblinder.7340:

The quest tells me to talk to that npc, but only the option “greet” shows up. Already tried switching maps and relogging, nothing works.
I did a quick google search and didn’t find any reference to this issue, so I don’t know if either I’m doing something wrong or no one does this quest =P

Try Guesting.

Have you considered dying or using cleanses?

Tman.6349:

THIS!!! In addition to megalazers I would also like to add tanks, stealth bombers, and ‘battle dinosaurs’ as I think these would all fit nicely into the theme of WvW.

You do realise that Megalasers are used often in this game, right?

TPMN.1483:

Silk (rare) in real life has always been a very expensive material > cotton (common).
I personally have no problem it hitting 3-4silver/scrap.

It’s one of the easier farmed materials when compared to cotton, linen etc.
When prices start to go AWOL for lower priced goods (linen, cotton etc) – people will go play the lower level areas again which is a good thing – even if it is for map exploration.
It helps spread the population out across the maps rather than concentrating in a few areas (eg Frost departing or world boss farming).

It’s amazing know much gold you now earn completing a map, doing those hearts and mining a zone out whilst you go. Makes it really worth trying to get your 100 map completion now.

You don’t get lower level material from lower level zones. It scales with your actual level.

I may have misunderstood what the OP meant, so, in light of this new evidence, I stand corrected.

Khisanth.2948:

You haven’t selected anything in the picture are you saying the game won’t let you select them? You must select all 3.

What he said.
Pick a skin, set of stats and rune.

I was doing the personal story with a friend and though I had done this particular one before, I was too focused on killing things to properly focus on what the boss was saying, or rather the way he was saying it.

Isn’t it supposed to have a spectral voice effect or something? Because kitten , though I’m aware that many of the dialogues in the PS lack passion, this guy gets the cookie. In all the time I’ve played this game, I’ve never before seen such terrible voice acting. It was like hearing a man reading a series of sentences from a paper sheet two minutes after awakening from a coma.

So, I wonder, was it supposed to be this bad?

Ascended gear has never been vastly superior to Exotic stat-wise. The main point of Ascended gear has always been those Infusion slots (which at the moment serve no greater purpose, as there is no point in doing FotM level 50 until they raise the cap).

If you don’t feel like it’s worth it, then don’t do it. Easy as that.

Also, if you want to grind for gear that truly makes a difference stat-wise, go and play any other MMORPG out there.

That technique is used to preserve your items’ skins by sacrificing their stats. Not the other way around.

It would be nice if you could use the titles you earn through your PS.
Savant, Slayer, Hero of Shaemoor, etc (haven’t created Charr or Sylvari).
Perhaps, if the engine allows it, make them character-exclusive to avoid having human Savants and Asura Slayers.

I like Trahearne, kinda. I just wish that his voice-acting had more emotion. The way he speaks most of the times makes him seem bored; even his evil mesmer clone illusion thing has more emotion to it.

It breaks immersion for newer players.
It’s been like this for months already and it really needs to be fixed.

Ryan.5893:

Dear Anet, it’s the holiday seasons and I thought to myself, that I would like to gift a friend of mine some armor and weapons in game. However, I found that most of it turned out to be account bound or soulbound. I, in turn, proceeded to the forums to make a suggestion for possibly a gem store addition of some kind that de-bounded items. Or if there is a way to turn an account bound/soulbound item into one that could be freely gifted already; I would deeply appreciate any responses.
~Love Ryan.

The idea of unbounding an item would make hackers drool in delight.
