I call nonsense on the language. Ive been in korean parties before and they typed “something” in korean. and you know what. We communicated using lines on the map.
and telepathy.
I once joined a Lv.49 FotM Korean group. Though I couldn’t understand a single word they said, there were no misunderstandings at all. Cool people.
Sam revives me just so he can see moar of this bod.
Fear no more Lilith, the Staff Pug guardian is here!
That scares me more than dying because my under leveled tush is graveling fodder.
Oh so I did a level 49 fractal with our prophet, FenrirSlakt (I only joined the group because I saw him in it) and we had 6 minutes until reset (we wanted to finish after reset). So we get Mai trin to her final phase and we have 6 minutes… so we kite her around not hitting her but our staff guard is.
The prophet whispers me “if he were hitting her with something other than staff I’d we worried”.
The prophet has spoken and thus it shall be known: bring staff guards if you need to kill time.
Ps. That kitten staff guard got a fractal mace, but he already had it. -.-
Oh and then the prophet soloed 5% of the aetherpath final boss for us. Hail the prophet!
It’s really nice to finally meet forumers ingame, though it’s embarrassing when I screw up in front of everyone.
Last year I was pretty bad at the game, so it took me a bunch of tries to simply beat her.
This year, feeling a lot more confident with my profession, gear of choice and traits, I managed to get the title on my first try and then the eight orb achievement after some more attempts.
Full zerker gear, 5/6/0/0/3 focused on damage
Axe/(Sword or Warhorn)
GS
You can do it, people, just abandon your zone of comfort.
They announced since last year that they would re-release this again. Whether OP and company didn’t acknowledge this is not ANET’s fault or anyone’s but their own for that matter.
Engage the zerkers as far away from the console as possible, don’t touch the grubs and that’s that.
Bring a lot of stab for Inquest and Deadeyes and be careful not to be knocked out of your godmode.
Given 3x +10 Agony Resist Infusions are slotted in each ring and in their Capacitor + Ascended weapons, I guess it would be all about having good luck with the RNG (If they get something like Dredge/Reactor, they will have to reset).
Laidari is too much overpowered. I wasted ~70 tickets, 10g and all festival tokens to get absolutely NOTHING from her. She needs to cripple less, have 2 at max inv buffs and spam less red fields. HP nerf would be welcomed as well.I am trying to kill her for 2 days already and Im seriously out of patience for this game.. aNET please do something about this.
Thanks in advance.
Agree, this needs a MASSIVE nerf and then some more.
Nope, she doesn’t any nerfs. Some players could use a buff, if you catch my drift.
For people who have been playing for 2 years, and have already beaten her when the camera and AoE made the fight harder, Liadri is easy. But for players who don’t have ascended stuff, still struggling with their (as well as china’s release) it’s still hard.
Also people are all hyped about defeating her, they all spend hours fighting her. Giving it for the 8 orbs wouldn’t change much because people would have an incentive to do the 8 orbs and would actually do it until they get it.
Ascended stuff isn’t necessary to beat her (after throwing 8 orbs at her) . Exotics are more than enough.
Also, many people would conform with just beating her and getting her mini.
Nope, she just wants you to shut your trap, man. I share her opinion on that matter, but as I’m certain that words won’t do much to dissuade you, I’ll just wait until you get tired of being disagreed with.
Also, if you care to know my opinion on that fractal, you might want to refer to my previous response.
Dredge is a lot easier, and as far as I can tell, the drop rates are worse ^^ my 50 run just got 1 infused ring and 4 people getting nothing, yay ‘fixed’ right?
Ah, again with this horrid misinterpretation of their manifesto.
I don’t like that they took away almost every champion from QD, but I can see why they did it. There was a bunch of controversy and silly arguments whenever someone killed a champion early and whatnot.
Also, Frostgorge Sound’s train is still up and running, so everyone can still farm without any major problems.
I was just casually playing the new event and tried to go to the Aspect Arena for the first time. My GW crashed and I thought it’s not a big deal because it wasn’t the firs time. But for some reason my GW folder is now almost empty and the launcher has 0kb in size and is not working. RIght now I’m installing the game from discs again, just wanted to share this.
I could be wrong (I often am), but I believe the problem might be on your end.
Analise your harddrive, as it is possibly malfunctioning/dying.
The only people that seem happy about the QD train nerf are people that didn’t run the train in the first place.
It makes me wonder about the state of the community when the vocal majority is celebrating the misfortune of others.
Or fortune of others. The issue wasn’t at all one sided.
I guess i don’t see what you have gained from the loss of the QD zerg if you didn’t run it.
I personally don’t gain anything from these nerfs, because I actually ran with the zerg from time to time to level alts + get a bit of loot, but I can see why they did what they did.
That’s cool and all, but i was addressing the large faction of the forum community that is celebrating the loss of the train that they also didn’t run. I guess i don’t understand the perspective of someone who finds joy in someone else’s misery.
It’s as if some players themselves have turned into the toxic players they claim ruined the queensdale zerg.
Whether they celebrate it or not doesn’t change anything, so there’s no reason to care about what they find good, funny and/or enjoyable. If there’s anyone who genuinely takes pleasure in the misfortune of a particular group of people, rather than in the fortune of another, it is for the best to avoid sinking down to their level.
Be the greater man.
If GW2 is successful in China, that would mean that they’ll get more money; that could possibly mean that they’ll have more resources, which in turn could mean that we’ll get more content, or maybe better quality content.
I don’t have much faith in NCsoft, however.
Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.

To be perfectly honest, stacking tends to ruin your point. stacking is actually easier than kiting when you’re in a competent group, because otherwise everyone will fail to evade when needed and die miserably.
In that case, the question that needs to be addressed is “why is ranged play inferior to melee range?” Having a class of players who the game favours mechanically over every other build is a sign of a badly balanced (at best) game, or a broken game (at worse).
It’s called risk vs reward.
Ranged weapons allow you to hit your target from a distance at which it usually becomes harmless. This, along with Crippled, Chilled or Immobilize allows you to kite the enemy to death, keeping you out of harm’s way for the most part.
Melee weapons do more damage, but also force you to take a more on-your-face approach, which makes you have to dodge your enemy’kittens if you want to live long enough to kill it. In Berserker’s gear, some bosses attacks can take away up to 3/4 of your total health.
So in the end, by going melee you’re trading safety for more damage, and this translates to shorter encounters.
Leave it to pugs to interpret it that way I guess. Next time a “why can’t I play how I want” whiner pops on here someone remind me to ask him where he heard the phrase from.
That would work if it were possible to reason with PuGs.
To sum what has happened so far: Guang made a claim about engineers and provided some math and a sample dps rotation video using his build, but did not provide a full party speed run example.
Actually he made a claim about engineers and didn’t provide anything at all.
Neither did you so i guess that makes us even.
The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, mister.
They’re the ones “claiming” it doesn’t work. It goes both ways. I’ve provided the theory, they’re the ones claiming it doesn’t work in practice.
Please don’t try to turn it around like this.
A theory is not proof; it’s a theory. Only a part of the scientific method.
It should go as it follows.
Question – What’s the most efficient team comp for Arah P2, time-wise?
Hypothesis – Guang hypothetised that A, B, C, X and Y should be able to run Arah P2 more efficiently than the others.
Prediction – If Guang is correct, then A, B, C, X and Y should be able to finish said dungeon path faster than other team comps, given that they wear Z gear and T traits.. This prediction is backed up by etcetc.
This is where we’re stuck
Experiment – Guang proceded to run Arah P2 using the specified team comp, with the specified gear and traits. The results showed that this team comp can clear this path in XX minutes and XX seconds.
Analysis – In comparison to the speedclear times of other team comps, we are led to believe that this team comp is optimal/suboptimal.
Then the experiment is to be replicated over and over to make sure that the first conclusion wasn’t erroneously obtained.

I like that Guang takes the time to theorycraft and I truly respect that, but in the end theoretical data is just as useful as its practical application.
Except, his calculations are not even right.
And burden of proof lies on him, pretty much everyone who’s into speedrunning dungeons on a serious level knows that engineers have no spot in, which is not even necessarily limited to practical application. So far he’s just been saying that engis rule, not showing anything to back up his claims, yet not even presenting a build or rotation in this thread.
I’ve tested engi often enough now, results are bad. I have a few engi videos on youtube, check them out yourself. Guang one the other side has nothing.
And that’s the reason I find it impossible to sympathise with him. So far he’s been all talk; much ado about nothing.
I don’t think that he’d care less about my opinion about him, but as I believe that putting an amount of effort into anything deserves -at the very least- a bit of respect, I can’t help but to give him the benefit of the doubt before simply branding him as presumptuous and moving on.
Once I take this step, I artlessly disregard whatever serious point a person has to share as inaccurate ramble, so I feel the need to be as absolutely certain as possible that it’s safe to move on.
Incidentally, I just soloed Arah P2 with my engie in six minutes including the loading screen and without skipping any cutscenes, let’s see you beat that.
wat
Let’s see you provide proof of that.
Guang never proves anything. Except that he likes being shot, of course.
I don’t get it.
I avoid siding with anyone in particular whenever I see people arguing, until both parties have provided whatever data they find appropriate to back up their arguments. Afterwards, granted that I am aware that my understanding on the matter is not overwhelmingly limited, I start agreeing with the party that has provided the most compelling arguments/proof/data, still without disregarding anything the other one presents. Sooner or later the arguments of one of them start losing coherence and that’s when they start losing credibility to me.
I like that Guang takes the time to theorycraft and I truly respect that, but in the end theoretical data is just as useful as its practical application. Even if he is actually right, all of his claims will fall short to anyone with a shred of common sense, unless he proves that he’s right, and I believe that I’m not the only one here that opines that his point will be moot until he does.

Curse.
It causes people to become overridden by jealousy and spam this poor subforum with threads about how unfair it is that flippers profit better than them by playing them TP.
What they could do is change some of the bosses so that they have completely new abilities and challenges.
I could get behind this idea.
Maybe add a corrupted version of the bosses at higher levels with some interesting new abilities/particles, but I guess that’ll be sometime around 2015. :P
If you run zerker you ease their passing with a quick death.
