Guild Wars 2

In that post for this next content, it mentions “Watchwork Portal Device, allowing you to create a personal portal” does this mean:

1. Its like a Mesmer portal?
2. Only you can use it?
3. Others can use it?
4. “Personal” only means its bound to character?

I would love to have portal on my engineer, considering its all I play. Even though I try playing my Mesmer only for friends who have difficulty with JP’s. It would eliminate the need to switch character!

I’m curious about this as I’m playing with calculators at work to pass up time.

What is your gear/trait setup? I just need T4 Evon & I will have them all done.

Really, event items just need to be at best “Masterwork” green. So were not constantly excited to see the chest, & then let down.

This happens with my Jet Pack, I have only noticed it after I just finished combat so I always thought it was linked to just being in combat, but not sure now with Vennyhedgie’s screens.

How does the medium look on male charr? I am currently at work

Mine was working yesterday. I was using it for the Candidate Trails. Iv always noticed my character faces the target, but only issue I have is when target is at different elevation. Anytime I have turned around to face away from target, it went on cooldown during the channel, but w/o currently being in game, Im not sure if its the Magnets cooldown or a reduced cooldown since it didn’t fire.

Well no cannon, just a really long pistol for rifle pretty much, oh well. Glad the shield is the same!

Off topic – Due to the amount of players that play engineer, our focus of trait/bug fixes are much smaller compared to the amount of players that don’t play engineer. Meaning less people are calling out said trait/bug fixes needed for engineer, compared to everyone playing anything but engineer calling out their own profession trait/bug fixes. What used to be our stickied thread of engineer bugs was un-stickied due to no action going on in the thread. Our bugged trait/skill list has been constant & pretty much the same. My guess is we don’t complain enough compared to say the amount of players on warriors/guardians/mesmers/thieves/elementalists/rangers.

TLDR: More players play other professions and report bugs everyday so they get fixes faster, compared to the amount of players playing engineer that report bugs for fixes.

On-topic: Patch is out! Lets see those new skins & check out new Jug from elixir X!

Ya, I figured the actual rifle would be similar in style to the revolver look of the pistol as well.

But holding a cannon over the shoulders did seem awesome (maybe Anet can look into modifying mortor into being shoulder mounted )

This guy has some of the speculated weapons. (not the ghost like weapons) What I do not see is the rifle which I have attached.
These screens were prolly taken at the time when the item codes were discovered, when aetherblade content 1st showed up. (That’s when I took mine of the “supposed” rifle)

But we should find out soon anyways from the weapon vender once patch goes live.

Deposit collectables, put siege weapons in guild bank (someone will use them for WvW), use Honor Tokens for WvW armor for skin or 500 tokens for Gift of Battle (Required for legendary), and destroy rest of PvP gear that you do not care for.

Not something to get upset about & throw hands up in the air over really.
This is coming from someone who only went into WvW for badges for legendary & that’s it.

On another note, whos going to get a aetherblade weapon? Im getting them all, pistols, shield and rifle (depending if its the shoulder mount cannon or not)

Hope you have a big wallet then ;P

True, depends on how many scraps u get for each chest you open since you need 10 scraps for 1 ticket = 1 skin (Until August 5th) then its 5 tickets = 1 skin

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-July-23rd-2013

Nothing “Drastic/Game changing” at 1st glance:

•Launch Ice Mortar: Equipping the Elite Supplies trait will now correctly increase this skill’s recharge.
•Magnetic Inversion: Added a radius skill fact.
•Elixir X: This skill now uses the updated version of Rampage.

But the updated Rampage sounds interesting:

•Rampage: This elite skill now also provides 20 seconds of swiftness.
-Smash: This skill now causes a 2-second cripple. Increased the maximum number of targets to 3.
-Bash: This skill no longer causes cripple. It now causes 5 stacks of vulnerability for 5 seconds. Increased the maximum number of targets to 3. Fixed a bug so that this skill properly displays in the attack chain.
-Uppercut: This skill no longer causes vulnerability; it now dazes the target for half a second. Increased the maximum number of targets to 3. Fixed a bug so that this skill is properly displayed in the attack chain.
-Dash: This skill no longer knocks back the player’s target. Reduced the recharge to 6 seconds. Increased the damage by 100%. Cleaned up the animation so that it will hit the target more quickly when used at close range.
-Throw Boulder: This skill now causes a 2-second stun. Increased the damage by 65%. Increased the projectile velocity by 50%.
-Seismic Leap: This skill has replaced Stomp. It is now a ground-targeted, 2-second AoE knockdown with a 600-unit range.

If anyone is using Elixir X that is. I will dabble with this new change just to get a feel of it, but I still feel the Supply Crate is the turn around in all fights for our favor, based on not trying this new Rampage.

EDIT – Edited topic to correct month, woops!

•A Player Instrument Volume slider has been added to the Sound Options panel.

Hooray for no more trumpet trolls!

New Skills/Traits: Give Engineers a Mesmer portal please?!!

Id prefer changing MF stat to another stat combo so it opens more options of gear for builds. Im not sure to what stat combo off the top of my head.
But that my full MF exotic gear, weapons, and trinkets that’s going to change. Im glad I did not buy MF ascended through laurels, but considered. :P Kinda sad but meh, I didn’t really like MF in any game.

Blog post Nikked – https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

The last 2 sentences makes me very curious as to what they will do for current MF gear. I got a full set in exotic gear, weapons, & trinkets of MF.

Im hoping they just swap it out with another stat, providing a new stat combo for more options.

Quote from blog – https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/ :

We want to remove the choice players are currently being forced to make on their gear: “Do I go with better stats, or better loot?” This isn’t in the spirit of cooperation that Guild Wars 2 is all about. As such, we’ll be removing magic find entirely as an item stat and turning it into account stat that improved the odds of rare drops for all your characters.

You can improve your account magic find through the account achievement reward system and from consumable items found in game. As your magic find increases, it will require more consumables to keep raising it higher. In the near future, we’ll detail the system we’ll use to replace the existing magic find items. Our goal will be to have as little disruption as possible to those who currently own items with a magic find stat on them.

So its just gear stat. MF will still remain but only obtainable through account achieves & consumables.

Regina, anyway that the stream can be on youtube? Videos don’t play for me on twitch, im not sure why

Go to this event with ALOT of people. More people = More giants spawn. event comes every min according to wiki.

I’ll ask if anyone in the group has not gotten the title/1st. If I do not get a response, ill race for 1st. Otherwise ill go to very end, wait at the line for 3 people to cross & then cross myself.

I have been using “orrmaps.com” to farm up the high end mats. Its been pretty accurate.
Using the map, I plan out a route, use as much speed boost possible running from node to node and knock out a zone in maybe 10min tops, less if I use WP’s, more if I walk & hit events on the way to nodes. Overall, its been good & reliable.
Plus its nice to be in a zone & a temple goes off & its a free daily chest

Oh man, id love it to come sooner!

My guess is April again. Was “super” fun content!

Gathering is not hard at all. Hit mines & trees so you get credit minimum of 3, hit rich mines & you will practically be done. Go to new island and mine the new crystal stuff & you will be done. Plus, there are veterans/champs there from events, so that’s 3 minimum dailies there (Maguuma Jungle Vet kills , Maguuma Jungle Event Completer, & Champ Kills)

Crafting, holy cow this is even easier, just take the ore/logs and make into 10, YES 10, ingots/planks, DONE!

Gathering/Crafting are the 2 easiest of easy to get, especially if your in WvW. Its not hard to take 1-3min to get this done. 1-3min of your time is not worth all this complaining.

Putting in half effort does not deserve any reward, let alone acknowledgement.

What build is used by a warrior OP, that requires this stat combo? Only gear for wars is full zerk & GS, everyone’s doing it, look at all the Zenith Avenger’s running around. >_>

Im considering celestrial on Eng – “Considering” not “Forced”

Try the pvp locker after looking over Dulfy’s sword gallery. I want to say all swords are there, but last night I couldn’t find a hammer in there so there might be a sword or two missing.

Only way to get inside is from your story. Otherwise its always closed, but with a small chest in front of the door.

I use the Charr racials. I use them when I find the time fitting though which isn’t all the time.
Human racials in particular look more on the supportive/control side, especially the Melandru one with aoe root, knockbacks, condition removal, protection boon, and healing well.
I have a Norn & used the racial elites while leveling and those were fun & useful.

Sounds like you should of looked up racials before making a character if those were your deciding factors. But they are certainly not in any position to be rid of.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

It is real. I have it on my Engie. The noise can make you want to put it to your own head some days!

I first thought I would hate that gun before I made it. Now it has grown on me and I think it is the best party gun ever made.

No need to pick me out of the crowd at Jormag… you can hear if I am there.

Gratz on getting it! I am going for it currently with my engineer and was curious if other kits/ability’s had other effects with it? Also, it looks in the video the pistol is in main hand, so what do #4 & #5 look like when you use it in off hand? (Im very tempted to go duel legendary pistol )

I love the sounds really. The pistol with my pop gun will complete my ridiculous arsenal

Thrown turrets should land perpendicular to the surface thrown on when traited. When on a wall, they are horizontal to you. When on a ceiling, they are upside down to you.
This of course is based on the last time I played with the idea about a month ago & found out they are always vertical no matter what surface I threw them on.

Update to my engineer: Hebee Jebeez

minimum 10 into Tools will get u “Speedy Kits” which is Swiftness every 5 seconds when you equip a kit. Another 10 into Alchemy for “Invigorating Speed” gives you Vigor (Regen endurance/dodge bar faster) anytime you get swiftness. Great for moving around & keeping up with others. From there you can put points into what works for you.

Yes its still there, and will probably always be there. You still get the feeling of being Over Powered due to traits and all the stats from exotics/ascended items even though your scaled down. Dungeons typically still require 5 people.

Big ouch there

“Extremely low chance when combining four rare or exotic pieces of equipment with an average level of 75 or higher, e.g. one L60 weapon + three L80 weapons or three L75 pieces of armor and a L75 weapon.”

Quote from wiki – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precursor_weapon

So no, four level 71’s wont work unfortunately.

Tarnished Coast (US) is open.

Looking for US open server

I did not realize playing the market was endgame

I angle my camera a little downward to see where I’m throwing at max range, I center my mouse on screen, hold right click and run around throwing them to center of screen. I will click both mouse to run forward or use WASD to move as needed. When kiting, I’ll put mouse to far left/right screen and run circles using W so I’m at highest speed & unloading grenades doing circles around mobs (Holding right click at the side of screen). I will also throw grenades behind me by looking ahead for clear path, auto-run, turn camera around with left click and start throwing grenades.

Pretty much I put the mouse where I want the grenades to go, hold right click as I run around throwing grenades & moving/kiting as needed as fast as possible.

I have a Razor Naga & it just makes using 6-0 way convenient, otherwise I could probably do it w/o it.

Nope, not an exploit.

Only thing that needs to be fixed with this trait honestly, is let the turret be perpendicular to the surface its thrown on, its no good if on a wall/ceiling and its halfway through the wall (Always vertical) & shoots wall every time. Or trade it in for sumtin else for turrets.

Never, NEVER compare Real Life to Game

Otherwise, not an exploit considering the trait is not working as they are intended. Every profession can hit them no matter where u throw them, & easy to get outta range.

Like Yargesh says. For “best” results, bind it separately. Otherwise, having it checked, don’t be near a body to “Loot”, an npc to “Talk”/“Greet”/“Sell”, etc. anything that will pop-up that small text window telling you what you will do if you “Interact” with it.
Takes a bit to get used to but so glad they put this in.

Im looking currently for source, but… What I came across was you can not obtain it after dragon bash is gone. They replace the moa on the vendor with another type of mini. Sorry about the confusion!

The Helmed Moa that can be purchased with winning tickets is only temporary for the Dragon event . It will go away with Dragon Bash & be replaced with another mini-pet.

I bet its the replacement for the Helmed Moa from the moa bet racing.

I vote reveal invisible enemies and/or traps.

If it’s for WvW yes i have a good build but if it’s for spvp there is nothing i can do for you

Do enlighten please on the WvW build.
