Guild Wars 2

Thank you all for your input and knowledge I guess what got me off on this was the dialogue with Razah in the quest “finding a purpose” where he says “Abaddon bound me to this plane. His minions blessed me with knowledge to fulfill a great purpose.”

Any ideas to what this Great Purpose could have been?

oh the master race you mean Seer, np I got your back http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Seer

Bring back Razah as a villain, and here’s my idea.

personality of Razah
ex. why did you abandon me, I followed you and you traveled to the mist and left me behind scenario. persecuted by his own kind [demons] who he betrayed, by joining us and fighting against them, and is now out for vengeance against all humans, for their ancestor’s mistakes.

After centuries of being chased by the demons who once sought to transform him into one of their own, Razah was tortured, and his soul slowly transformed into that of a demon. He has ascended to the rank of Armageddon Lord leading the remains of Abbadon’s army he has decimated the last bastions of defense the forgotten held and within the realm of torment. Razah has now moved his armies through the mist into the underworld with the aid of Dhuum he has greatly weakened Grenth and his armies, Grenth and the 7 Reapers have been pushed back and Razah’s forces have begun to seep into the Tyria.

1) can you get to the underworld from the realm of torment through the mists?
2) could Razah as a tortured soul become an Armegeddon Lord, or only a lesser demon?
3) would there be any possibility that some forces of dhuum could have survived in the realm of torment after Kormir took over?
4) We know that grenth or at least the reapers of grenth have been weakened but by what?
5) Do demons ever die of natural causes/aging?
6) Are the portals in Gods lost Swamp coming from the underworld or are those minions of Mezies, and his shadow army?

Victurus the branded general is my favorite villain so far in GW2, you can see his lust for power/the strength of kralkatorik in him, he seem to want to test the limits of the power he has been given “harder, hit me harder you weaklings”, he has lines about how the dragon magic is changing him. It makes it seem to me that he was once a fairly powerful flame legion shaman by his model, and by the remnants of his personality that remain. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_Victurus_and_his_Branded_army

This all being said I would love it if they brought back Razah as a villain, (ex. why did you abandon me, I followed you and you traveled to the mist and left me behind scenario. persecuted by his own kind [demons] who he betrayed, by joining us and fighting against them, and is now out for vengeance against all humans, for their ancestor’s mistakes.

@Windu The Forbidden One.6045:
yes those were the events of guild wars prophecies but the guild wars were what weakened the human nations enough for the charr to overwhelm ascalon with the searing and march on orr and kryta, because the guild wars had greatly weakened each nation, ( including orr which had tried to stay out of the conflict originally).

Just some clarification.

and yes I absolutely agree that guild v guild should most certainly be a part of GW2

If your talking about things like WvW infusions I agree, If you are just talking about the +5 to a stat that is already possible, price but possibly (ex. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Precise_Infusion) so in that instance I do not agree with you.

except that it elevate the infusion slot to the higher status of a sigil, ex. what if you could use any type of sigil in those open infusion slots, then you could have say sigil of night, Sigil of Force, ect. or essentially doubling the number of sigil slots allowed, I understand that you are saying this as a QoL upgrade but it is far more powerful than that because as you know many choose bloodlust because it is a very powerful sigil, it would essentially allow for a build which gains a free sigil without ever having to leave combat.

What was the process used by the seer race to infuse someone’s armor (blacksmithing?) and what does this tell us about the way we infuse armor in GW2. I know the seer used the essence of the Eilodon or whatever, but how did the combine it with our armor and is the process similar in GW2.

personally I think this infusion is far too strong in comparison to other infusions, if it gave 1 stat point per kill I think it would be more in line, considering you can only get +5 to a stat and +5 to agony resistance at the moment.

Sorry but I think this is a yes and no, you can get daily dragonite from world bosses once PER CHARACTER PER DAY, you will only get the guaranteed rare once though (per day).

as long as I’m here I’ll throw out two ideas I had if u like them keep them if not throw them away.

1) solo sure shot seamus inside the room with the net turrets, no destroying net turrets or using stability.

2) Solo only zuhl final destroyer no leaving its lava font, (this one may be too easy)

you know you want to run around with your crab while sporting your http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Greater_Arced_Blade. lol

um not really glacial lodestones were under 20 silver, I would guess their price is still similar to 20 silver, when the lodestone is less expensive than a bottle of elonian wine its probably time to buy.

Can we please get some of the old guild wars 1 pets into this game, I personally miss my giant white crab, and both reef lurker type crabs from factions. Im sure there are other pets from gw1 people miss if you have any pls add.

I like this idea, that being said if you are looking for only one boss to get this I don’t think Balthazar deserves it, he is not that difficult, why won’t people use the gun from Tactician Lystratia, the 4 and 5 skills are amazing :’(

Does anyone have a good explanation for the major changes in troll model form GW1 to GW2, in GW1 they seemed to have a much larger head and wider mouth, longer fingers with sharp claws, wider more raised shoulders, larger tusks and sometimes only one eye. Was it their strong regenerative abilities that allowed them to evolve/adapt so quickly into something that doesn’t even look like the same species.

I wouldn’t say that toughness is pointless but id say that it is underpowered as I believe that in most situations having the boon protection will be far better than having high toughness, I may be wrong but I cant think of any other boon that is better than a stat

toughness<protection precision>fury
Power>might
Power-condition damage (sorry I don’t know this one been a long time since ive run a main condition build)

grenade 2, 4,5 and bomb kit 2 Tool kit “Pry Bar”
chill, poison, bleed, burning, vulnerability, and confusion with some good skills for power builds too (grenade barrage for toolkit)

there is an event in Caledon forest where you collect krait skins and the NPC says something along the lines of “An alliance will be forged with the blood of our oldest enemies.” how is this possible that these to factions are old enemies, the hylek live in the swamp and krait lived in the deep areas of the ocean until recently? I know the krait came and attacked the land to bring back slaves and sacrifices and such, and even that we could see krait in the swamps in GW1 but I don’t understand how they would be the hyleks oldest enemies, in fact many hylek tribes seem to fight each other still it would seem to me that their oldest enemies are different ethnicities within their own race.

you could try ele as they can be built to do the most damage but then they become very fragile, but id say they play most like engineer with their conjured weapons and multiple attunement swaps.

personally I like the new area and even though the buff doesn’t have as large of an effect as I expected it too I still don’t like it, this all being said under ideal conditions ( I play a zerk/Valkyrie engineer) using grenade kit, 7% extra crit chance alone is a pretty big deal as my class has many traits that trigger off of critical hits. this all being said under optimal conditions (5targets 25 stacks of vulnerability, and for my build 15 stacks of bleed and 1 stack of poison for 5 people) adding (7*5)*16=560dps across these 5 people just for the conditions with the 25 stacks of vulnerability it essentially turns that 150 power into 187.5power, again not as big of a deal as I anticipated but still a nice chunk of damage.

had the same thought, also believe that the Risen high wizard in front of Arah should give both as well, he has a automatic rare in his big boss chest, but no dragonite or daily rare chest.

What I was seeing to be the arguments for/against guesting for world bosses, if you have a differing opinion or something to add please do so.

1) if someone is guesting on another server to do world bosses they should be kicked if an overflow is started and a native to the server maps into that zone?
a) This promotes server pride and brings the PvE community on a server closer together and forces them to communicate though chats (ex. mumble, teamspeak, Ventrilo, ect.)

2) First come first serve, if a guest comes first to an event they will probably be contributing more than the native to the server who shows up with 5 mins left in the event.
a) This gets the most people actively running the event from beginning to end.

For Perspective: This all being said I come from the Henge of Denravi server and already we are seeing that we don’t have an overflow during the event (tequatl) so I don’t expect we will get this event done soon if ever.

or are they, we were able to make contact with a reaper of grenth in one of the story steps in orr, perhaps through this kind of contact we can still make our way into these old GW1 areas.

make it so whoevers home server it is has all the areas in the new center of the map slowly tick back to the home world’s control unless an opponent is standing on it currently and capturing it, this was it will either buff the home server or force the attacking server to use resources (people) to hold these points for the bonus.

Ideas changes suggestions please add them.

were you in WvW? cause (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stealth_Disruptor_Trap) this could be your problem.

your pit has to be deeper than the pot hole in the parking lot. RAWR that 1/4 of an inch deep pit cant contain me, Sorry couldn’t resist

Sorry to inform you Masked Paradigm but gods absolutely blow in this game I think they are far worse then players generally, for more information consult Kormir (Domain of Anguish) Balthazar (Fissure of Woe), and Grenth (the Underworld) sorry they all suck and couldn’t even keep their own crap in order. Have a nice day that will be all.

Was wondering if there is any possible connection between the wardens in guild wars factions that were nature spirits corrupted by divine/godly power (rather than draconic power) and the sylvari. 1 of my guildies was telling me that the wardens were servants of Melandru but I couldn’t find any evidence to prove it one way or the other.

Also in addition could the kurzic juggernaughts have any relation to either one.

got it getting trolled ty, now I am in the same guild as lunyboy.8672 and I was on the run of TA F/U when we beat it about 2 weeks ago? We didnt really have that difficult of a time with it, but the problem comes in that we had a ranger with us, who is a friend we have played other games with who just had to sit the last fight out since his pet doesnt dodge roll when he does, the pet becomes a major problem makeing the rangers in this dungeon often a hinderance ranther than a help for this last boss, and this is where the problem is.

also an engineer with Flame Seeker Prophecies, I must admit I was quite disappointed had my hopes of that we would get some kind of footfall (ex old krytan text, or a pulsating effect like the shield has around the edges) not to mention I am usually in kits so don’t see it as often as I would like either, just sad.

I had the same thing happen to me as well

@Konig Des Todes
“It’s like she’s just there for the sake of being there, and her actions are done just for the hell of it. And on top of this, she’s some sort of super-genius in a race that shares knowledge with each other… yet no one else knows the things she does?”

I agree with most of what you have said other than this, the asura may share some knowledge with each other but the colleges are often seen to be in competition and on top of this we have seen the inquest sabotage or steal from other asura.

This being said I would rate her a 2/10 “die,die,die,die,die,die” just sad. I would expect that we will not kill her though as there has been quite a big build up, I expect that jormag will be a major focus this year based on all the year 2 minis there are alot of SoS and Wolfborn to fight them. this being said there are also many other groups in the minis for this year such as inquest vs peacekeepers, and perhaps a new centaur leader. or maybe I’m just reading too much into the minis they have made for year 2.

here is the location

In Mount Maelstrom at the point of interest the Valley of Gwaun there are several invincible champion ghosts, they say things about ascalon but I assume that this could be just common dialogue of ghosts, as they are pretty far from ascalon. I was thinking this may be an entrance to the hall of heroes as all the ghosts are champions.

blah ok ty for the info

yeah it was bought for gems but they all were and there are some up on the trading post now

I have a winter’s edge greatsword skin that I never attached to an item it is currently unbound why can’t I sell it?

Thats why I thought maybe the Mursaat cause they abandoned the other races to fight the dragons but also it refers to them earlier as the unseen enemies. and then maybe abbadon but hes not plural so abbadon and the margonites, or the seer as they were nearly whipped out maybe i dont know just throwing out my guesses and thought process lol.

“Prepare for the coming of those whose departure caused the gods to weep! The time has come to atone for our arrogance!”

this is one of the lines of the flame seeker prophecies, both on the legendary and declared by Meerak the scribe in GW1, what does this line mean, who is it talking about abbadon, margonites, seer, mursaat, titans, I really have no clue could someone please give me some insight on this one.

Foe faller just to let you know vigor and adrenal implant don’t stack sadly

This is the build I tend to use

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqelIqiYH5y3F1LJyIFd2ECqAgJqQ+95xb1WQIA-jAyAUFQiAAVAJ9VEN2CXR0Y11YKXhItbqBA-e

feel free to drop the 10 points from firearm for 5 points in it and put those 5 points to better use elsewhere. The survivability in this build is gearsheild, static shield and your dodges cause it has no toughness other than the base amount. Also skill 9 does a lot of switching from elixir s, rocketboots, elixir u, bomb kit, elixir gun, throw mine, elixir r, or thumper turret(for guaranteed stability and another blast finisher off your water fields.

I have tested that all 3 risen megaladon (idk there may be more than 3) Sparkfly, Straits of Devastation, and Cursed Shore. All of these can be beached by pulling them close to the shore then letting them do their nose charge thing, stepping out of the water and moving in at a slightly different angle the megaladons will stop moving but will still take damage, and won’t reset. the Sparkfly megaladon can easily be pulled onto the western shoreline, the Straits of Devastation megaladon can be pulled into the submarine bay and seems to generally get stuck at the end of the tunnel. The Cursed Shore Megaladon can be pulled to pretty much any of the beach areas to the north of him.

Could we please get a tool ingame to have player made content? Something along the lines of Neverwinter’s Foundry, I’m sure we can justify it in the lore through some asura invention that would keep it from having any real effect on the world of Tyria or its lore, but this would be an awesome addition to your game. Thank You for your time.

Yes I understand this would probably take an incredible effort on A-nets part.

Could we please hear the vote totals on both sides in the end?

Hello there I mainly play a engineer in WvW focusing on high crit chance and damage with a bit of con damage mixed in. I use Grenades and Toolkit with Pistol Shield. I am not using trait (cleaning formual 409). I am willing to change up my build but I was wondering if any of you could give me some good advice on how to fight against a necro with an engie? (as necros and rangers are the most troublesome for me.)

I Understand what you are trying to go for here but I think you are off in quite a few ways.
1) Evon may be greedy, but evil and a murderer of his own family is way across the line.
2) Ellen is ordered to join the council by Magnus the bloody handed, as her superior this may just give Magnus greater control over the council.
3) Greed doesn’t make someone evil, we have seen in the direct support achievements achievements that when looting an aetherblade ship that has crashed there is some grey area. Both groups come upon the downed ship and have to fight to keep the loot they have found while fighting enemies of lions arch. Evon keeps the loot for his campaign while Kiel decides to return the possesions to their “rightful owners” which I don’t know how the hell you would find that out. (ex. if you find a dollar on the street and no one else is around how are you going to find whos it was to return it to them. since we were defending piles of gold similar scenario.)
4) Evon is more of the business man in this situation, he will probably work to make lions arch (and himself) more prosperous. Kiel will probably be more focused on the defense and safety of lions arch. In my opinion this election is similar to a election in our real world where a general, or a war hero would run against a CEO of a major company.

I think it was just an attempt to balance if they hadn’t done it would’ve been very much one sided we’ve seen kiel and worked with her. She is a human the most played race in GW2 while Evon is a char the least played race. Not to mention all the GW1 players who still hate charr for the events of GW1. And on top of all this Evon is the leader of the BLTC which many ppl have often said how much they hate. Without some kind of bribeing in his favor this wouldn’t even have been a race.

ok but would the zephyrites even be able to help, glint’s powers were far different in scale and usage than Zhaitan. I would guess some of what they had learned could tranfer over but I would think other parts would have to be discovered anew?
