" Revamping all of our existing dungeons (Story and Explorable versions) through rebalance and overhauled encounters.
Adding new dungeons to the Fractal of the Mists."

Mind you, this was in NOVEMBER 2012.

What have we gotten so far? AC revamp (for the worse) and nothing to fractals.

Anet shouldn’t say anything at this point, hard to take them seriously.

“It’s a true challenge, but as you hit higher and higher scales, the dungeon will get more and more rewarding.”
silly liars.

7. Every battle was won against overwhelming odds

Yes, overwhelming indeed…

I can’t stop laughing. Screenshot is perfection.

Why do they promote selfish play? Seriously anet? You make a dungeon for 5 people and then you put in acheivements that promote selfish play?

How can anyone think this was a good idea?

Isn’t this like one of those infamous grey market advertising thingies. Anet is silly making stuff waste stuff for the sake of wasting stuff.

50 saffron on a cake would be terrible.

Away from keyboard IN (insert location)

That’s all it is.

akitten
Akitten
AWAY FROM KEYBORAD IN

not about the cats

like

You know, just uncesor it. It’s short for away from keyboard.

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

Most of the good players have quit by now. Either that or they just stand in Lion’s Arch like me.

We should start a guild based on " akitten in LA".

We’d have scheduled AF K times, much like raids in other games.

That’d be fun.

You know, Team Fortress makes millions selling hats everyday.

When is the black lion trading company going to take note and start offloading loads of hats every week on the gem store?

Hats? I’d buy a hat.

Also

Free hat.

Sami.1560:

Unless I missed a patch where this already happened, the damage on the Axe chain was changed as it actually did LESS damage as it went on. Due to the length of the animations and delay between hits doing a Triple Chop slightly lowered your DPS. Chop/Double Chop/Chop/Double Chop was actually better than Chop/Double/Triple. Of course, actually managing to do Chop/Double over and over was very difficult, but the point still stands that the full chain did less DPS as it went on which clearly wasn’t the intention, especially as there were no secondary effects on Triple Chop. Hence it got changed.

Whether or not too much damage is now loaded into the final hit of Triple Chop is another issue entirely. If you land the full chain you get the same DPS as before big with additional spike. However, dropping the chain will result in a DPS loss.

So basically if that was the case then moving the dps a little bit to the triple chop would have been an ok move. What they did here is they offloaded way too much on the last 3 hits, especially the very last one.

It’s been like that for a looong time.

Not bugged, anet just don’t want you to have any money.

Clark Skinner.4902:

That is an excellent idea. A chef recipe to make rosemary(30) waffles with charged syrup, using 20 charged lodestones.

Sounds awesome! Get on it anet!

Here’s my thief. She’s wearing full CoE (shoulders/hat hidden).

Note: ORIGINAL COLOR SCHEME DO NOT STEAL

lol? You can’t trademark that. lol.

Its funny too since tooltip always said 1200 range but it was always 900.

Ehh, maybe one day they’ll put more mail space in the gemstore when they really starting to run dry on rng boxes – which they never will.

Hey I’m sure more people have an issue with this. It can’t be hard to fix.

I swear, it has to be bugged. I’ve ran thousands upon thousands of fractals. That means hundreds of volcano ones, I have never gotten the achievement. I actually went in low level fractal to really test it out, not once got burnt, not once hit the lava – didn’t get it, still.

I know some people have gotten it, but I’m pretty sure it’s an account bug more than anything since some also never seem to get it.

So please, can someone at anet take a look at this thing
The Floor Is Lava. Don’t Step In It.
and fix it for us affected by this bug.

OP is funny guy. very funny.

Axing the axe.

Now I’m axing you, fine gents, what do you feel of the axe chain nerf?

Was it neccesary? Was it overpowered by having the chain damage be spread out evenly?

Did you think moving most dps to the end was a smart idea, considering, esp in wvw, being kited means your chain breaks and most of the time you don’t hit the last attacks thus losing most of your dps?

I personally dont like it, people were just starting to use axes more (due cof p1 farm) in pve and now the very little reasons to use them now are gone.

Also the 50% damage increase in whirling only in pvp was no way to resolve the last chains not landing. It doesn’t get affected in wvw nor pve. So I axe you – what does you think?

You dont lol. Whats with these questions.

Quit the game, theres no feeling worse than that.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The only change I made was making the cultists respawn after a wipe. I didn’t adjust the number of cultists at all.

Why would you be touching fractals at all lol?

They really don’t. I’m running frequent 48’s and then I go do a couple low levels(10) and the loot is practically the same aside from relics, but those things are worthless anyway.

Anet said the loot quality would scale based on level. Well it doesn’t. Liars.

Been like that since launch.

Have fun. No, seriously, have fun watching that.

Removing excess materials so there will be less of said item driving prices up. Whether this is good or not is subjective but making an item more expensive just for the sake of making it more expensive is rather silly.

Whyyy? The female shoulder cog is way better looking than the male version. kitten’s not right! Why did they have to make it look worse on the male? I’d buy the set for the shoulders if I could wear them on my male char…

Edit: Also the pauldrons are much better on female. Come on anet, why gotta make them different?

Haha. That is awesome.

When are these gonna be fixed? Say something like volcanus just needs to rip off elementalist conjure skill and there you go..

Uh mine still goes 40 prec per signet. Did they change it so it’s lower as low level? I was hoping this would go up due the fact they moved heighetened focus to grandmastery on discipline, but apparently not?

Dawdler.8521:

You’re a Necro, just look at them and they fall over dead. And even if they take a while to die, you cant die anyway.

Had you been a Ranger, I could have understood your frustration. Just whisper sweet nothings in the ears of your pet while you slice its throat and hold it close. Then do the same to yourself and log back on with the Necro.

Is this supposed to be about the necro changes? I hadn’t taken a look yet, if so, that’s funny.

Karka land brah. I love how I wanted to take one of those camps alone but the no-loot dropping lil critters do reach arounds like no tomorrow.

Oh it is happening, slowly but surely. We aren’t talking direct gem store pay to win, we are just talking it’s gon be expensive, but if you have the gold you gon get better.

http://www.gw2db.com/items/77060-potion-of-karka-toughness
150 toughness, stacks with food. Expensive.

The there’s the new consumable Dragon’s revelry starcake which is all stat 45+ 5%crit 20mf. It gon be expensive.

It’s slowly coming guys. Be prepared.

Leg specialist condi build got screwed. My newfound love for axe got screwed. My killshot got nerfed.

I actually did not know that.

From 30% to 3%, this is the way anet balances the game lol.

It’s odd. Have they just forgot it exists?

Well it sure would be better than 3%..

What were they thinking?

Ok guys we need to make something that players will really want in this line!
Ok ok, 3% burst damage!
PERFECT!

Really, what?

Daecollo.9578:

Mesmer
Domination
Halting Strike: Damage dealt when interrupting enemies has been increased by 500%.

Healing Signet’s Active Cast Time: 1¼…

So… when your interrupted, based on the leaks… you now not only not get healed, you take BACKSTAB DAMAGE!

Lold. Good one. How absurd.

lol you guys think this will ever get fixed? It’s so low it’s silly.

+3% for 30 trait points.

Just silly.

digiowl.9620:

Reloading.3260:

Nobodies going to waste their time with those events without 200% mf.

Look how loot starved the playerbase is. 200% mf, lets do some southsun. No mf, back to cof.

I hope Anet is watching and learning from this.

They are not. The balance team is chained to SPVP, and the PVE team is all about producing carnivals.

Carnivals lol. Post of the month right here.

Dual.8953:

Your armour seems a tad low? What’s your armour?

Uhh, it’s low, of course.

Or maybe it should be casual to win?

OMG ITS SOOOO GOOOD OMG OMG ANET ARE AWESOME

Wait, what am I saying? bashes head to wall

zenleto.6179:

Nope. I haven’t.

Why, sir, I think you and I are playing another game. Does your game have chocobo imitations?

I love pressing F.

Anyone notice this trend? Everytime there is a new piece of achievement to be had, it’s something like

“press F on X 100 times to win!”

or

“press F to win”

How about real gameplay design? Something more than press F to win?

inb4 anet don’t make grindy games

“press f on this 100 times to win”
“press f on this 50 times while having to run 5 minutes to each one to win”

Well I’ll be. Inb4 no red post.

Well all the notes are annoying

main hand pistol skills, they’re bad. Why? People keep complaining about stealth thiefs and whatnot but I wouldn’t even mind some nerfs on daggers if our pistol skills were improved. God theyre so bad! I don’t understand why!

The pistol bleed is short and dps is low while, say warrior, rifle bleed is long and dps higher – and it takes about the same time to fire both.. wat
