Upvoted this idea. And to add, that doesnt happen to Jormag only, but every other world boss.
People just sit and wait until others do the pre-events, and they still get full reward from your hard work.
Actually, today I was doing SB pre event (or at least had to complete the event near monastery so the portals would appear), and it failed because I got there too late, and people were complaining like hell in map chat
Thats a good idea, and would make people go to another areas. I used to see a zerg doing the harathi chain in kessex hills, and liked that a lot; but now everyone is in Queensdale farming champions to get stuff
Every other area in the game, excluding Wayfarer Foothills, looks totally abandoned. I heard that people are going to farm on Frostgorge Sound too, but haven’t checked that yet
You can get the ascended chest from ANY champion in the game that drops the ascended materials. That means there’s no fractal level for that
You can even drop that chest in fractal level 1 run
On the other hand, if you want to get it from the daily chest, I believe it’s only 28+
Maybe getting MF is a lose/lose situation. If we stop dropping/hardly drop materials, the prices will go up until they all sell out, and craft turns to be impossible
Just a bit worries about that. Would like to see a red post here
4000 hours in one year. Time to search for a job, clean your house and take care of your children
What happens is that they have to keep releasing new content so players won’t stop playing because the end game is not really appealing
Imo, the living story is a real joke. I’d suggest make changes every two weeks like they are doing (new WvW stuff, cool mini-games like SAB and PvE improvement) and make a good storyline to be released after some long time
Were there two people from the same guild? I write down names to be able to report people later, but never had to do so luckly
I totally disagree with this idea.
Downscale does lower the stats you get from your equips, but that makes lower level items as efficient as lvl 80 ones.
By upscaling everyone, you’d create a system where people with non-80 gear would suck terribly, just because upscale doesn’t boost armor stats, only player’s
I think that’s ok, and there are good reasons for that.
- You can guest for free. Choose the server you want and congrats, you can play there for the rest of the day for free, whenever you want.
- WvW abuse. “My server is losing. Let’s change servers so I can get some bonuses, and stomp those noobs”. lol, just lol
- You can buy gems with gold. The price has gone up a lot, but you can still get a server transfer by just playing the game, and guesting if needed
You dont pay a monthly subscription, you can play on another server for free, you are complaining without reason.
+1 this
I have the strange habit of analise the attacks when I’m bored (SB thief pick an inexistent arrow from his invisible pack of arrows and shoots), and that’s true, thief D/D autoattack just uses the mainhand weapon
And pistols dont have a “chain of attacks” like many other weapons, so you alternate fire without changing anything else
1 – Go full power, precision, crit damage
2 – Haste, Infiltrator’s Strike, Pistol Whip
3 – “You died so fast haha”
Lol, I have to disagree with you. Choosing the weapon is a good thing. A Assassin one may be useless for X class, but is useful for my Y class.
Now let’s face the other situation. You get a torch. Your main doesn’t use torch. Your second most played toon doesn’t use a torch. Maybe only your 4th toon, a level 20 guardian is able to use a torch. But you don’t think torches are good for what you are planning when he gets lvl 80.
Cleric stats is useless for your toons, but at least you won’t end up with a weapon that you won’t use at all if you could choose the stats.
Anyway, just throw it away. No stress, the system is working well. Imagine if you could not choose either the weapon or the stats
Now I got it. Eles only use one weapon (two-handed i mean), while the thief has a D/D and SB, that makes 3
Hum… Sure, the thief has to work a bit more to get full ascended (obviously), but I don’t think it’s such a pain to get all the materials so you can say that ele has an advantage
I got tons of bloodstone already. Was saving them to make weapons actually, but got rid of some hundreds already
I can’t complain about Empyreal in dungeons. Good amount in the rewards. But you could get a bit more from JPs.
Dragonite needs a buff. It’s almost ok right now
I feel really sad knowing that ANet doesnt have a dungeon team. The AC rework was excelent, they added the bit of challenge it lacked.
I paid for this game, and I want more dungeon reworks. Some lack balance, others have huge hp sponges
PS: Just remembered that theres no dungeon team. Guess there’ll be no rework. Well, I think ANet is just losing a lot here, what am I going to tell a friend if he/she wants to buy the game?
Eles got a bit nerfed and a bit buffed, but it’s still a strong class for WvW
No real changes to Warrior, and this is still the most desired class to run dungeons. There’s some need for Guardians as well, so getting both classes should be ok for PvE
Thieves were not buffed or nerfed, but their numbers have increased in both WvW and PvE – that means dungeons
Mesmers also got some space in dungeon runs because of the utility they can bring to the party
Rangers and Engis are kind of abandoned. The pet AI is still terrible, and even though pets got a huge defense buff months ago, they still can’t survive some encounters, and that weakens the ranger.
Engis were never really popular, but they got buffed I think
Quaggans deserve more love
Legendaries in action are really nice to watch, but it’s not something impressive imo
There is some effort behind them, but it’s mostly just some good portion of luck
Do some events. You’ll see an orange thing on your map, they give you a good amount of exp
Gathering materials and crafting stuff is great for leveling
Try going to other beginning areas: Queensdale, Plains of Ashford, Caledon Forest
I think that instead of being able to dye weapons, they could add more effects. But that’s just an idea, and would ruin the game for people that does not have a good computer (now imagine LA full of weapon effects, hell)
I think that another problem is exploring the toughness triats. There is good stuff there, but getting 15 points is really risky in PvE because of the aggro system
Probably, but the problem is that the reward is not really high. You get only some tokens when you finish each fractal, so making the easier ones less rewarding would just make people stop running FotM (or change nothing since people want to get the daily reward only)
2 sparks in the same circle or sparks appearing before she stealths are bugs, but when she keeps going back to phase 1, it means that your party sucks. Just that. Luring the sparks is not that hard
Came here to upvote the idea, and enjoyed that even more after reading your text
A high fractal lvl toon can gear the others without problem, so saying that you will lack AR is a lie. Idk the level is still bound to the toon instead for the whole account
Plan 3
Keep 1 or 2 people throwing kegs towards the door like crazy while the other 3 run some of those kegs to the door, problem solved. (Bring aoe fear, and anything to clear mobs at the begining)
Don’t say things are flawed just because you find them hard and we won’t mistake your post with a rage…
haha thats my plan, it worked last time I tryed CM p2
I went for some healing with my guard. You can’t heal people to full hp like in other mmos that have classes for each thing (damage dealing, tanking, healing)
But it is effective. The heals are enough to help the team, most skills can heal everyone. I’m really enjoying playing as a healing guard (but I don’t recommend going all the way healing power, or you may have problems without a party)
Hey everyone, I’m HELLruler (aka Kaoro), and I’m here to tell you that Midnight Ravage is recruting more active players.
The guild is some months old already (some means over 5), so we have lots of upgrades and guild missions already. The guild has a Ventrilo server, and a website as well (and a facebook page).
We play PvE a lot, complete the map, do dungeons and events. And even just chat so we can know the others better (I play some PvP too).
Even though we accept new and old players, experienced or not, there are two requirements:
- Be mature and polite
- Be active. Many people work or study (or do both), but try to be around as much as possible
If you wish to join us, please whisper or mail Kaoro Mayumi (HELLruler.4820) or Silvin.4027.
See you in game
write a support ticket/mail to exploits@arena.net, reporting doesn’t do kitten
That’s a great option. I’ve never been kicked, but everytime I join a guild run, I make sure to save the names of the guild members and the guild name
One of those harpies got invulnerable for the whole party. We tryed melee, range, everything. In the end, we could either wipe to get ooc and fight it, or simply ignore that monster.
We skipped it
This guy has a point. We are getting all that stuff for free, but what’s the point of that if we can’t use that?
ANet promised great stuff for the whole account, but soulbound stuff doesn’t work like that. It just doesn’t make sense at all, just put those items as account bound
I think Staff is the best option for support. I use Mace+Shield and Staff, but have a Scepter for some situations and a GS when more damage is needed
Hammer is also a good choice, really strong, but really slow
the imbolization we have is far to short for what we deal with
Most immobilization skills last 2 seconds, excluding Necro Dagger and Warrior Sword Burst, so you cant say that Guardians are worst because of that
And they are just really strong. Guardians can take a lot of damage, while summoning symbols that give AoE boon, free burn, heal, and aegis. Excelent utility skills, it’s a shame that you can only use 3, because they are all great
They had to have a weakness, and that’s the mobility, but you can still use an AoE symbol to get speed, or a Sword/Hammer gap closer
Hum… there’s really no way to do it. SB can hit multiple foes, so it’d be my choice for that occasion
Warriors and Guardians are probably the easiest as everyone says. High armor, high damage, lots of utility
The light armor ones are terrible until lvl 40 imo. Afterwards, they get really strong
I didnt have problem with medium armor ones. Not easy, not hard
There’s no hardest, they are all fairly easy to play, and each of them has a different mechanic
But if you want to pick a class and say “hey, I stomped you with -class-”, you should go ranger, by far the worst class in the game just because of the pet
wow that’s really messed up, i play the game since it came out but never saw anywhere that you can wear only one unique at a time, well thanx anyways ill go back to farming guild missions again >>
lol, isnt it obvious that you can only have one unique item on? Thats why they are called Unique
For the same stats, buy a offensive and a defensive ring. Btw, check if the other ring isnt soulbound so you can use it on other toons
Path 2 is really fast and the easiest too, and since you are running with the guild, I dont think you guys will have problems at the green room. It’s not even hard, but you need one or two people running around and destroying the vines
The other two paths aren’t long either, but Path 1 is probably faster. When you get to the panel, get 2 people defending and 3 activating it. Afterwards, pull back and kill the big robots, and finish hacking it.
It’s possible to do 4-1 (4 activate, 1 defend) with thief and SR too
If they asked you in the beginning and kicked, well, nothing can be done. But since they kicked you for having 40 AR, and in the last fractal, yes, totally reportable.
They probably kicked you so a friend could get the reward, the AR was just a “reason” to kick you
But I thought that was normal, when she hits 50% hp, she goes stealth. Then lure the sparks and hit her. Then she’ll go stealth each 10-15 secs if I’m not mistaken
She doesnt heal a lot though, you just need coordination
Btw, I don think thats a bug. Under her health bar, it says she goes invisible and heals, or just invisible, or just heal. But thats the fight
Fix existing dungeons, that’s all I ask
Bannable, no, but why would you join a fractals run to do only one for the dailies? You have tons of options in PvE if you dont like WvW
I’ll have to redo all explorable dungeons and probably world completion again? – Does the world completion badge still stays on your character screen if the character is deleted?
So I’m just looking for some views : Should I do this? Or should I hold out in hope that Anet releases some really AWESOME charr armor in the future (achievement points patch maybe?)Just to let you guys know, I’m more of a pve-orientated player. In case that helps in anyway haha.
Yes and yes. Dungeon progress is bound to the toon, not to the whole account. And yes, you still have the badge in your toon selection screen and the title.
My best advice is to keep that charr and create a human. If nice heavy armors are released, probably tomorrow, you can decide which one you want to keep
That should really be changed. I run dungeons with different toons, and “great, a superior rune, that would be great for my -class-”
Guess what, you cant do that, rune is soulbound
Those items cost 800 gems. Each 100 gems is around 3 gold now. That means you need 24 gold to buy each of those items
The best mining pick, for example, Orichalcum Logging Axe, costs 4 silver and has 100 uses.
100 uses – 4 silver
*25
2500 uses – 1 gold
*24
60000 uses – 24 gold
If nothing is wrong up there, that means it’s not even worth thinking about buying those items.
But man, what about bag space? How I’m gonna carry so many mining picks?
You dont need to. Equip 100 and let another 100 in your bag. Using them all will take some time. Buy more when needed
A boss who can shadow step every 5 seconds or so and then deliver at least 10k burst dmg
This is the only problem with this dungeon, and dont forget you cant dodge it
that was… fast. btw, gonna try that strategy, going ranged doesnt seem to work anymore
Well, I recommend using “gw2lfg.com” to find parties to run dungeons. If you do so, say that it’s your first time, cause some people expect outstanding players every time and can get mad at you if you make a mistake
You can manke parties cross-servers too. I play on Devona’s Rest, so we can make a party and run a dungeon, even on different servers. You are automatically transfered to the dungeon starter’s server, and will stay there until you get out of it (thats a bit hard to understand, but you’ll see that when you try it)
Not at all. You cant even say thats a spoiler because its obvious
The thing that most bothers me is that the boss fights are really really easy, but you have to stay there, hitting them for 10 minutes, dodge a skill here, dodge another there. Boring fights
