Guild Wars 2

Well wherever it is, it’s in Zone 2, but doesn’t matter.
Finished Baubles in Zone 1 and 3, got the Minor, got the Title, that thing can stay at 26/27.

Alright, so I’ve ran through World 1 three times now with Infantile mode on, yet am stuck missing ONE location apparently.
Is there any guide that shows all the locations?
I’ve checked all the shops, even the hidden one in zone 2, but it’s still not counting.

How do I know which one i’m missing?!

The reason the devs are so good at it is because they can play with “noclip” on, perhaps they forgot that players don’t have access to the development console?

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘noclip’. But we would have to be pretty stupid to test the difficulty of our content using dev commands. My current guess is that the problem is 1. Lag makes rapids/waterspouts too hard. 2. People aren’t familiar with the content and once they learn the tricks they won’t find it nearly as hard. 3. We devs play constantly so we are more practiced at the content. 4. Our alphas must be better than average as well because we didn’t get anywhere near this amount of complaints over the difficulty during our alpha tests.

My goal is to make Normal Mode more fun than frustrating for average players, so it looks like I’ll have to tone it down to meet that goal. But I still need to give it a few days to make sure 1 and 2 aren’t the primary issue.

In my opinion one thing that might help a little, is if there was an option that showed you your character’s “standing location” better.
I play a Charr, and doin jumping puzzles is… annoying because the character runs on all fours.
So it’s hard for me to judge where my character is “standing” so I know when I can make a particular hard jump.
On some of the jumps involving the square blocks with the downward slopes on them, this has caused me to not jump quick enough, still thinking I wasn’t at the edge yet, and would get knocked away by the current.

Another problem is with the current.
It can’t decide what it wants to do with you.

Sometimes I get knocked normally and can quickly get to a nearby block.
Other times I get richocheted around.
Other times I hit a wall and teleport randomly… usually further back, but twice I’ve teleported further ahead!

When I exploded, I rage faced…

This I believe sums up a lot of frustration people are having.

I made it through Zone 1! Ha! Ah ha!
Now to farm Baubles… for more lives… and baubles, CAUSE THEY KEEP GETTING STOLEN!

Jump through the rightside of the waterfall.

I made it past the rapid fest…
Now i’m on falling log fest…
I just want to get done with this zone and be done with it forever… it is not enjoyable, it is not fun… it is discouraging…
I’ll worry about the achievements never. Already not worth it.

Your fun will last until you reach World 2, Zone 1, Section 2.

Have fun buddy.

Yeah i’m still stuck on the rapids.
Can’t get past them. Everytime I touch the water the game FREAKS OUT… and teleports me all over the place and can’t make up its mind what to do with my flailing body.
Doesn’t help that I play Charr so my point of standing is GOD KNOWS WHAT!

The difficulty between World 1 and World 2 has too much of a gap.

Why does ArenaNet discourage… Charr?!
Like, I relize I have to play my HUMAN character just to tell WHERE THE kitten I"M STANDING!

And here’s something I don’t get.
Standing on Water Spout.
You jump off it.
Water spout vanishes.
Even though you’re in the air in a jump, YOU GET KNOCKED THE kitten OUT!

What did they do to Eternity besides the glowing handle?

Yeah i’m gonna wait for the video too, lol.
After I exploded and took 99999 damage from a flower I leaned back and said “Oh, you’re gonna be like THAT…”

Water was the bane of my existence there too…

(For reference – In Two Worlds, wearing Heavy Armor could make you unable to swim. Thus when you enter water that goes over your head, you start drowning and losing health rapidly… so crossing a river could be lethal!)

(For what i’m referring to… **** Rapid Water, **** Rapid Water, **** RAPID WATER, **** IN BOTH PARTS HYDROGEN AND IT’S OXYGEN AND THE CURRENT!)

Nike.2631:

Tune in tomorrow, as the great testing begins.

But I need to know now

Once everyone finds out, the prices of Masterwork EVERYTHING will skyrocket as tons and tons and tons of folk go to buy them all up just to get their MF up!

My bank alone right now has like, 300 lvl 50 items that were barely a silver each!

So when Sylvari eat, they have to poop.
Are they fertilizing themselves when the poop is still in their bowels?

Thefire.1583:

I do believe that the original discussion is now far from what it was originally at. While I understand that most of the other races do not care for who we are. I do know some from said races that appreciate us. Also for those who think genocide is the solution i hope you come to your senses and cease all active thoughts upon said goals.

Genocide is never the answer!

::hands you a piece of paper::

Right this is a peace treaty… now we need you.. to go over there, and give this to that ocean of Risen over there.
Cause, you know… undead have the right to live to, right?

::Gets behind a large rock::

I"M ROOTIN FOR YA!

Weir.5691:

All will serve the asura, in due time. When that time comes, we’ll see who laughs last.

How’s the war to retake your underground home going?

If not Legion, why not Warband?

And you can only get it…

After you finish those last nine payments on your cart.

So you get Essence of Luck from salvaging Fine and Masterwork items…

Do the Levels of the items play any role in the Essence of Luck?

Like, will you have a better chance or aquire essence that give more to the luck bar if you salvage lvl 80 items instead of lvl 5 items?

Just curious~

Random question…
Does anyone in Darkhaven know why our TeamSpeak server is down?
Who owns it? So I can tell them to get it up and running again… been down since last night.

Mepheles.2087:

Is every person from VLK a dirty little snob?

Most. Since they were the first impression I’ve had of HoD since this is the first time fighting them, I now call them CoD after Call of Duty since that is the mentality they’ve shown us this week.

Mepheles.2087:

MY Kingdom for night coverage. We only ever get servers with freaking decent night coverage as opponents. EB is painted red.. bleh

That’s the problem though.
We’re a NA server, which means the majority of the population will most likely be from North America and South America (Hence why we have so many Brazillian guilds). Night coverage has always been the issue for us cept for very rare occasions when Leone was around but god knows where he vanished off to.
And as I had said earlier, had a lot of folks doing that Clockwork Chaos farming that normally would be in EB. Never ever had to wait to enter EB, and our usual zerg was always small compared to everyone elses.
Tuesday night was the exception when we had folks on and pooled them through after they took HoD’s BL, that was a fun destructive night.
Tonight as well was apparently a lot of Guild PvE things going on (Bounty, rushes, etc).
Meh, tomorrow is another day~

It’s been some pretty fun fights this week.
Though this week our numbers for DH have been lacking… don’t even recall ever having a que for EB like usual, and when I ask in TS what’s going on, where our guys are, they tell me
“Farming gold”
Last night we had the guys finally show up and that night was DH kicking butt left and right, busting down SF, knocking back HoD, but then once they go back to gold farming then we lose our BL, lol.

Though from what I’ve seen, I do have some advice for all servers.

Darkhaven – Use… the ****ing.. .CANNONS. SM has cannons on the third floor. When we lost the Fortified SM yesterday, someone on that cannon probably could have prevented it. But no one ever uses the cannons. I say this because… this is at least the 10th time I’ve seen this happen. Also… if an enemy is attacking something, give an estimate on how many, so we know how to respond.
We need better communication! Was how we lost a few tier 3 towers in our LL.

Henge of Denravi – Need to work a bit on keeping their members in line, can give the server a bad name as shown with Sinester up there. This week with what was going on in the forums made me feel that HoD was the CoD server.

Sorrows Furnace – I’m gonna be honest here. From when we fought you guys weeks ago, you were much stronger then. Not sure what happened since then, but you guys really have dropped in quality. Usually I see you guys acting like vultures now, pecking at whichever is doing the worst at the time to try and score points. And when you do have the power to take towers and keeps, you instead run around as just one large blob that takes things slowly, or get repealed. (Example – Klovan, Jerrifers)
Lastly… STOP… WASTING… GOLEMS! I’m not saying “Muahahah! You cannot take our keeps!” No, not that. Outside WC near the start of the week a lone Omega at full health just started waltzing around the sentry between WC and SM… and had 2 people with it who then ran off… and then the Omega got swarmed and destroyed!
Stop doing that. Keep track of your golems.

Anyone else thinking the same thing I am about this entire comment?

[sarcasm]That taking this guy’s advice is priority one tomorrow?[/sarcasm]

Just some constructive criticism.
Take it, ignore it, up to you~

Stop doing that. Keep track of your golems.

You should clear the cannons from hills first before attempting the golem rush HoD.
Otherwise ONE guy will delay you on said cannon.
And let everyone know you’re there.
And have half your golems get destroyed.

Leablo.2651:

BEES?!

The Worlds were Calm, the Worlds were Tame

The Asura Moto, came with his Game

There were others However, all with Different Looks!

Asuras that you only Read about, Inside of Books

One was Black, with a Big Letter Three!

They called him Solid Gear, he was Stealthy, Tee Hee

One was Green, Wielding a X on his Chest

He Told the Others that he was the Best

And one was Named Tendo, he had Gifts, oh joy!

A Lawsuit for ArenaNet, if they do this, oh boy…

I’m pretty sure they’re gonna remain Soulbound just like other items. Once you equip it, it becomes soulbound.
But that is why people have a Main and then Alts.

Today at work I was thinking to myself about the content that has been released so far and it gave me an idea!

With all the strange things that have been going on in Tyria, from the Mad King’s return, to Scarlet’s Clockwork Creatures to a fire breathing quaggan it feels like adventurers and heroes are dealing with some bizarre situations few would really be prepared for at the start!

Enter, the Crash Warband!

Designing a state-of-the-art center for the would be adventurers, obstacle courses would be set up to train and test people in situations to make them better prepared for what the future might hold!

The trick being most of the obstacles and tests would be of situations that most likely would never occur!

Like defeating a skritt that split into two after each defeat (like a hydra) and you would need to create a certain amout of skritt from the one in order to weigh down a plate to open the gate to advance!
Or stopping Zhaitan’s Minions from hitting Logan in the face with a pie!
Or a giant mecha Asura with rockets that shoot outs its ears! And the head comes off and floats after you, AND BREATHS FIRE OUT ITS MOUTH!
Or defeating an alternate reality version of Destiny’s Edge where they’re all animals!
Or so many others!

Then you have tests that test your natural abilities!
Moving through an obstacle course consisting of flamethrowers! Spike falls! Slippery jump puzzles, falling puzzles, and of course, boxes!

Just some random idea.
Rewards would be a busted up stuntman helmet, one of those yellow or blue half capes stuntmen use, and the title “Qualified”

So when a giant mecha asura with rockets coming out its ears show up, well then you’re Qualified to handle this situation!

:D

Zindrix.1750:

People like Logan?

If you do, do you also like Trahearne? (shudders)

How is that an even comparison?

You voted for Kiel didn’t you…

Tbh, for when it was farmable, Deadeye was a good source of Charged Lodestones.
I think they even dropped in price cause of him.

One dungeon Idea I think would be cool would be a verticle idea.
A massive climbing dungeon with pits and traps and all sorts of things.
Maybe an aetherblade gunship shooting at you with cannons and following you up and mmmmmmmmmmmm

Logan is voiced by Troy Baker

TROY BAKER

He’ll break you down and rebuild you twice as good!
HE"S GONNA RENOVATE YOUR *!

(Also – Joel from Last of Us, Booker from Bioshock Infinite, Male Voice 1 in Saints Row 3 and 4, etc etc etc)

zeromius.1604:

You should change the misleading title to Queen’s Gauntlet Gold Nerfed. Otherwise, people will think they made the Queen’s Gauntlet easier which is obviously not the case.

I do think they did nerf it in some places.
I only did Deadeye but I noticed he didn’t do his charged shot as often, and both times I fought him once he teleported to another spot, he ran right to me!

Lord Kuru.3685:

too bad… the gauntlet was actually fun. now it’s just back to spamming 1 with the zerg.

by the way, does this mean there’s no point in doing any gambits since you only get 1 bag with money?

No money from any of the bags.

I did Deadeye with 3 gambits, got 4 bags… no reward.
So, you basically are only losing money now since you can’t make the money back to afford more quantlet tickets!

And what also sucks is I can’t Zerg Destroyers… since when I entered the pavilion… it was just me and one other!
I have to wait on enough players to beat the content, and enough of them then to want to run a zerg on destroyers!

Uther Deathhand.1570:

Astasia.1459:

Why do you need 300 gold?

Maybe you should reread the OP, mostly the part where he says “to get my precursor”.

After seeing it got nerfed…
I just, I’ve never felt so demotivated in my life.
I can’t make any gold now, this, was my chance, my actual chance!
Something I could do!
I can’t flip the market, I have TRIED… god I have tried!

And the price is going up!
I’m not gonna ask someone to loan me the gold to get it then pay them back cause no one will, and making the 300 gold to pay them back is gonna take a while.
If i’m lucky, I can maybe get it.. in a month.

Why is it, the moment I learn of a way to make gold, on my trip to get my precursor… It gets nerfed!

“Finally time to start running COF P1!”
NEEERRFFED
“Time to zerg around and farm champion centaurs!”
NEEERRRFFFEEED
“Time to kill Deadeye!”
NEEEERRFED!

I just want to cry…

Nilkemia.8507:

So? I thought champion farming was the farm to do nowadays.

YOU find an easy way to make 300 gold…
That doesn’t involve selling gems.

I barely farmed Deadeye… and was all ready to do so to try and get the rest of the gold needed for my precursor…

But now they nerfed it…

And now i’m stuck trying to find new ways to make gold…

I guess Destroyer Zergs? >_>

So I got back into the Queen’s Gauntlet after finishing the Playhouse and was like “Neat! It’s so empty!”

So I was gonna farm Deadeye for gold, wanting to get my precursor.

After I did the battle, I noticed a bonus chest and opened it…
24 silver, 3 sprockets!
My first thought was “Oh wow! Now we get even MORE silver!”
But before I started the next match I paused… and quickly opened the 4 reward packs…

…No silver… just sprockets…

I did Deadeye again! Maybe you get a bonus chest each time?

Nope… one per day.

Gauntlet Farming = Dead

siiiiiiighhhss
Time to farm invasions…

Scarlet Briar is the wall the whole time! I KNEW IT!
Such quick construction of that arena, it must have been made using the souls of the living!
THIS IS A SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH!
Oh my God, this is gonna change everything!
The prophecy foretold this!
Quick, someone get me a soda, five pounds of Kodan meat, and a really really large pair of socks!
ANKLE HIGH!

Ayyy, pretty bang-up job with this update you got going on!

Pennry.9215:

600 to 670 and you’re complaining? The price fluctuates that much or more way too often.

If you really watch the pricing, you’ll see a fairly certain buy point threshold. Save up to that and you’ll be fine.

I do watch it. Usually it goes from 600 to 650 easily but would stay around 600-620 for the most part.
What I pay attention to are the Buy offers.
They were usually
650, 640, 620, 600, 550, 400, 300
But now they’re all
670.5, 670, 668, 662, 650.5, 650, 642
So the price dropping down will be harder unless quite a few Dusks are found and sold.

So the past couple days have been discouraging.
The final step I need for Twilight, is Dusk… that’s all!
And so I’ve been doing what I can to farm gold to get enough for it.
And so far I’ve hit half way! Or I did… then the price went up.
Then the prices went up again.
And now no matter how much I earn, the price is just going up just as fast…

A few days ago, they were 600, now they’re 670…
When will it just be time to mystic forge chance it then earn up all that gold?

Gave up and am just using the arena area to farm gold with deadeye.

Too many issues.
Both inside the arena, outside the arena, and the arena itself!
Lets list them!

First, outside.
We have the obvious framerate sinks cause your entire server is fighting champs and farming all around you, plus all the NPCs walking around.
Then we have the announcers! ALL OF THEM!
“Our contestant better wrap things up!”
Oh man i’m running out of ti OH WAIT THAT WAS THE ARENA NEXT TO ME. Why am I able to hear that?! Hear all of them!?

Then inside the arena.
The boss plays on the one pet-peeve I have most, when it comes to bosses.
When, the boss is fine, the boss is simple and can be figured out no problem… it’s the cheap gimmicks they throw at you that kill you, and kill you, and kill you.
The AOE field, was overdone.
Stage 1’s field, should have stayed like that in stage 2. Still would have been a challenge, but not the fregin bane of everyone’s existence!
That is NOT how you make a good boss.

But the one thing, the one thing that did it for me, that made me say “**** the mini, not worth it!” is the fact that the arena, was NOT DESIGNED, for Charr or Norns.
At all.
The camera is wedged into our backs.
During stage 2, I can’t see where the safe zones are… case half my screen, is ME. In order for the camera to work, i’ll have to be facing it toward the walls. But that will make me unable to turn around, and target Liadri. Every guide I see on “How to beat her”… it’s HUMANS… races, without camera issues!

If the arena, was open roof, and you could zoom out like during most world bosses… I kinda feel a lot more would beat this.
