Guild Wars 2

ahh thats the best when im in a pug and i hear in team chat “look at all those bleeds” sooo much bleeding

this is just saying the infusions are for wvw, but the actual aquisition of the gear remains the same, which is impossible through wvw only atm, right?

bring back fused + molten pick

I saw TC go from full to very high yesterday actually, I wish I could give a time. Id have to guess, probaly, around 2 PM EST? I noticed because I am on JQ, and I went, oh wierd, BG/JQ full but TC isnt, I wonder if thats a bad sign. Later that night when I got home, as I guested to one of my favorite servers (HoD), I noticed it was re-full.

Unfortunately, I would say this is the exception to the norm as of recently as whenever I guest in the past week or so its almost always full for me and thats why i took extra note and shock to the server not being full. So I wouldnt count on it, but yes, it can happen if your persistent apparently.

Also, try asking people in LA to all logoff at once so the server has room

So in the start, there was a boss named Crusher/Hunter.

They BOTH dropped 10 silver per.

Since you could farm them both easily, they were changed. At first I believe, the terrain was adjusted, when it was becoming as popular as CoF still, the loot was dropped to ONLY one of them drops 10s. It was STILL farmed semi easily and now I hear the terrain was adjusted again and people must fight them regularly. However, there is STILL issues that remain will the leashing of Crusher/Hunter etc…. which brings me to the point.

If Crusher/Hunter are at their hardest point in the games history, why, oh why, did the loot not get re-returned to 10 silver PER boss? I understood when they removed it at first, but due to recent developments, just fix it permanently already please and make the loot 10silver each again. Arah is not a good money maker already and there is no way a common pug would be able to farm it, even so they deserve it if they can melee them both or find a way to defeat them as GW2 has made it obvious these boss’es are “supposed” to be a force to be reckoned with

Its not abuse. If you believe it is, your doing it in a public forum which is not the correct spot . Refer to this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Exploit-or-Not

Remember IF YOU THINK ITS AN EXPLOIT/ABUSE/BUG – Do not post on forums.

Id be happy to comment if you have a different opinion on Lyssa Farm, but the whole “stop it please” is getting old,not to mention incorrect area to discuss this. You think your doing Anet a favor but in fact your not, now more people will do this. Its getting Ad Nauseum. If you have a different viewpoint other than this, please feel free to post so we can have a constructive discussion.

Enough “Buff/Nerf X” Threads. Its getting discussed Ad Nauseum

wait? Theres control in this game aside from mesmers?

I feel sorry for the groups where non mesmers try control wow.

do these stack?

edit: for 2h weapons, like axe/mace.

idk, maybe i dont understand what it says when up, but i think my fire ele timer kept resetting like 3 times for my server. and it said a wierd message when a guildy told us it was up

Yet bots manage to spam their gold sell sites every 5 seconds besides they are hackers or something, idk but they bypass filter anyway. So only legit players get punished, yay.

CoF p1 speedrun. Done.

Speaking of lupi, I havent seen a “Nerf GL please” thread in a while. Suprising

Tarkus.4109:

The kitten is this?

Lol no idea. Since killing siege weapons now gives WEXP to the opposing team, would destroying the build sites reward WEXP even if not built yet though? i wish i could of farmed that

Auesis.7301:

If you don’t have much in the way of stopping the projectiles, you can also go for a ranged approach by the consoles for the crystals. There’s a lot of nooks and crannies in those corners that you can use to shelter from any shots that come your way, and you can still shoot away safely.

Its a good idea to hide in there yes, but be aware his Pull skill has still hit me there before and it does alot of damage. I try to heal and run back if im targeted

Colly.4073:

I have been trying to get a skill point in Malchor’s leap for 5 days now, It has a Champion Risen Knight spawned right over it + a Veteran spark. But Anet continue to add useless content that draws players away and leaves previous area’s a ghosts town.

People will soon get tired of this kitten.

I doubt its the answer you want but if you really cant get it, and in leiu of the agreed necessity of some stimulation for this land try this:

Order of Whispers Spy kit
Ash Legion Spy Kit
Having Thief Friend cover you
Having Guardian Friend spam aegis

GL

Go union waypoint.

i wanted a fused so bad and couldnt bring myself to buy keys, now eternal suffering from 1 bad decision? Please fix this

Wow I could barley tell which phase was which because he was dying so fast. Also a note I saw but was not commentated on, I saw him using axe #5(Rupt), but I thought that is less DPS than just axe auto. So my guess is that he was trying to rupt a certain move so they didnt have to dodge or something? Anyone else pick up on that or can explain why he was using a non maximized DPS skill?

Edit: GZZZZZZZZZ! Awsome vid and time btw

I think you mean Mace 5, and it actually does do slightly higher damage than autoattack and it can sometimes hit twice. Unless I’ve missed it for this long and am wrong somehow, you can’t interrupt anything that Lupicus does. But hopefully that answers your question.

Oh yeaa I do mean mace 5, ok then! I had not put that in my rotation yet, thanks for showing. It did answer it yea, you guessed what I meant.

Doublehit is something Ill have to watch more close too

i must be doing the timing wrong or the rhythum because ive tried that and get hit.

how long do i have to walk left before i walk right. i thought you were just supposed to walk constantly in a circle, which didnt work either.

so it is walk to the right for 3 seconds, then back left3 seconds etc, or be a spaz and l/r/l/r/l/r/

i can never seem to consistently do it, it works sometimes but never a surefire way of always avoiding it.

No idea if this could be related but in the first month of the game, for my exgirlfriends account, $25 in gems DID NOT WORK. Always an error. She tried $50 and it approved it.

This issue was replicated twice.

So it was a long time ago and might of been fixed. But if this applies to your situation, since theres not many details in your post, try buying $50.

Ahhh I see. The message wasn’t that clear on where to go to question it so wasn’t sure where. Please dont warn me for the post it was a mistake! Email sent btw

-Ghost Rangers are hard to fight because they will poison you and make your heal nearly worthless. Try to let them aggro others or block/dodge them and then melee them dead quickly.

-Warriors hurt, do not facetank, circle strafe, stick and move attack them

-Necros will put like 8 conditions on you but most of them dont do that much damage. Sit on top of them and spam your highest DPS until they die.

- CC is good for keeping warriors off your back, but its too hard to time rupts or CC on the other enemy’s.

-The Lover’s boss fight will be incredible hard for a zerker warrior. Go all defensive, do not even attempt to melee.

-The final King Adelborne boss will kill you if you melee, range him , dodge circles and you shouldnt die.

-Dont open multiple tombs in the beggining to avoid fighting more than 1 monster at a time.

-Bring at least 1 form of condition removal.

-Use Greatsword for 100b, evades from whirlwind, and Rush #5 has decent dps if you think that will finish a enemy off

-Focus fire enemys. Even as zerker, you cannot solo carry the team. Dont be off trying to kill your own Ele, while the team is beating down on a Ranger. You wont win any solo battles here, but if you zerker warrior focus with team, itll sync very nicely

Mending is horrible. AS IS warriors werent squishy enough to start, we have to sacrifice our ONLY heal just to remove 2 conditions. Imagine if you dont need the heal, but you have 25 stack of bleed. So you remove the bleed with mending. oh wait, now your being DPS but you have no heal. Goodbye.

Or Vice Versa

OH NO im 20K/25K HP LET ME HEAL! -HEALS to full hp- mwahhaha. OH NO now he put conditions on me and im dying, but I cant remove it because he made me heal before. .

So Unfair

If there is 3 Banners in range, I believe there should be a inherent buff thats syncronized. Like 3/3 Banners give a additional super buff “Banner Mania” – Due to the exceptional banner commanding you and all allies recieve 20 percent more buffs from all banners dropped as long as 3 are in range.

Has anyone ever been the only warrior in a group and gone “Banner Man”?Meaning your 4 Utilities are ALL Banners, traited for regen.

So you start fight, drop Str, Disc, Tactics, and WarBan. Then go I AM BANNNNER MAN.

Reaction is priceless.

And then in the future when the cap is raised to 80 with new rewards, and im forced to level from 30-80 while you are already at 38, you will be king.

Everyone says “Just watch him for agony arrow” I can never really seem to see who hes looking at. What graphic settings are optimal for seeing his front. Between all the effects, and since hes on fire etc, I waste tons of dodges thinking hes going for me. Is there a surefire easier way. Also im trying to step around lava, dps, watch teammates, dont go near teammates who are hit on arrow. Now like I sit there and go HURRRRRRR till he looks to shoot me. Need better tells or grapical settings. I dont have “Catlike reflexes” either, just regular person so alot of times its too late

Replace AC Story “Cave Troll” With “Den Troll”, which has less attacks, less CC etc would solve it. That way they wouldnt have to tweak with anything and it would be fair.

I dont think hes asking for tips or anything like “Reposition, swap axe etc” As he said before it was fine. Hes saying, observing the same type of teams its harder. Personally I dont think there was a stealth buff, but have had alot of teams struggle on effigy too and it is definatly conspiracy theory fuel. Id have to go with No still.

Wow I could barley tell which phase was which because he was dying so fast. Also a note I saw but was not commentated on, I saw him using axe #5(Rupt), but I thought that is less DPS than just axe auto. So my guess is that he was trying to rupt a certain move so they didnt have to dodge or something? Anyone else pick up on that or can explain why he was using a non maximized DPS skill?

Hi. I am unsure if this is just a feature I dont know about, but likely a bug so I decided to post here. It also more often occurs in WvW than PvE so I almost posted in WvW forums.

Anyway,

I have 8 level 80’s. None have this issue except my newest created character, my human male mesmer. He wears COE Berserker’s armor in full with all ruby orbs but I used fine transmutation stones to change it into all full t3 human armor.

Recap: Armor = T3 Human Zerker w/ Ruby Orb and Abyss/Celestial/Purple Dye. (Transmuted off COE Armor which contained golemmancer runes obviously) While transmuting, I left the Golemmancer runes in because the t3 had nothing in it at all. I then immediately went to the TP and inserted the 6 Ruby Orb’s into the armor, fully replacing all runes on the t3, with Orb’s. (Doubt it matters but I use Whisperblade, Anomoly, VotM for weps)

Issue: Randomly, and rarely, there will be a Mark I Golem that spawns from me. 85 Percent of the time this happens in WvW and he does not have a guild tag, but is blue color like he is partied. He does not do a spin attack or move, simply plants for maybe 3-5 seconds max and disapeers. I could be in WvW for 3 hours and it might happen twice. I could be in WvW for an hour and it might never happen. I have seen other people with golemmancer armor, the same name of golem, but he will move and have a guild tag., Mine does none of the such. Sometimes he disapeers in 1 second, sometimes 3 seconds. It is quite rare for me to witness this. I know it is mine due to the amount of times it has happened, and the proximity of people near me, the color, and the variety of locations it has happened while I am the only player nearby. It has happened only once in PvE, and it actually attacked for a second, causing a perfectly LOS’d monster ball to scatter. Again, I gear checked everyone, no one had golemmancer runes, and it showed its usual characterisics of not having any guild tag.

Even though its an extreme RNG, its a liability to me, causing scatter issues in PVE, and WvW its just, annoying and wierd. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS?!?!??!!

My only guess is that when I transmuted the COE Armor w/Golemancer to T3 Human, that even after I overrode the runes with Ruby Orbs, somehow occassionaly a glitch happens that activates my “summon” a golem #6 ability on those out-dated-ex-transmuted golemmancer runes.

Is there some crazy WvW ability from a guild or something that makes this happen? Could it be a rare bug? Has this been heard of before? If I could be assured it wouldn’t happen in PVE I would be happier as the group was upset someone used CC on a LOS’d group of enenmy’s and also called my armor bad and I almost got kicked.

What could be causing this? Not sure what other info to give.

Im usually 10/20/0/0/30. I am 400 Cooking and around 140 Artificing. I have only 2 pieces of ascended gear (rings). My sigils never use “summoning charges” and never have. I am in [BGW] guild.

Any other questions, just PM on forums or respond on thread. Very curious, but also would like the issue taken care of and removed.

Edit: Posted my infraction notice and question so a moderator would see because the notice didnt make it clear enough where to go. Thank you to the poster below. The correct channels have now been taken. Sorry for the incorrect spot and I hope I dont get in trouble for a innocent mistake Have a nice day

I was helping a newbie team from gw2lfg.com stuck midway, 2 of these players had first time characters. One was around 350 Achivement Points, Other had 700 something. There was me @ 80, a Mes @80, and a 5k achivement point player, leveling a lowbie at around 40/50. I have not fought the troll but as new players, we did take the time to clear every enemy and not skip anything etc…

Guess what the 1 skipped monster was…………..TROLL!!!

I didnt ask what happened or why skip or did you have trouble, but we can only assume.

they can only do it so much but if you full exotics, using +200 power food, + 10 percent dmg vs ghosts food, full traits, pro tactics as a level 80 would, theres no reason level 1-30’s etc should have to go through all that.

try doing low areas without traits, without exotics, without nourshiment and while “forgetting” to dodge alot.

Knights armor, 0/10 (signet heal recharge)/ 30/ 30 / 0
Dolyak Runes (Possible to replace #6 rune)
Staff
Greatsword.
Important Traits – Autistic Healing, Empowering Might, 2H Master. Shouts 20 less cooldown.

You are now a tanky guardian,

Popular utilities: Retreat, sig of judgement, Wall of reflect (situational)

Buzzcrave.6197:

Shorter channel and lesser damage, but same cooldown.

This has nothing to do with the post topic and is in fact the opposite of what the OP started the thread on. Please no hijacking,

my gardan signet gives me 180 power, i dont need your banner. just bring signet and its way easier, and 100 precent active, no cast time, no carrying, no trying to kite inside the banners magic invisible range to keep buffs up etc.

TheChosenOne.6491:

I was looking for a nice build for PvE and dungeons and it looks like everybody use the GS in dungeons, and usually the main reason they state for that is the damage from 100B
maybe I am missing something, but isn’t the self root from 100B is just too big of a risk in dungeons? I mean, you need to channel for 3 sec, it is enough time to get you killed

Times to use glass cannon 100b: Zerker warrior team, mostly warriors, with 1 guardian, 4 wars 1 mes,

Othan than those setups,100b will be sketch. You can try using it if you find a nice spot to use it, but other than the optimal party compoisition 100b becomes much more hard and worthless. 100b’s NEED other 100b’ers as support or youll be trying to be DPS for all 5 party members, which even superman cant do

I read as many threads as Vayne, I just dont have the …patience? to reply to as many as he does all the time. GW2 needs a post count and rank, you’d be king

Maximillian Greil.1965:

I think they just need to discourage glass cannons. Give every mob some kind of aura of pain, or retaliation or something that just forces people to use more defensive builds.

if you complain glass is to common or whatever reason you say its discouraged, why should everyone be forced to run defense isntead? it just create the same problem, with different gear

i made a +5 str +5 AR for my warrior, just to out min/max people, cost 35g. probaly wouldnt do it again though.

100b needs some type of effect, whether evade or ANYTHING really. the thought that such a skill wouldnt even cause weakness, or ANYTHING literally is quite absurd. I always thought more of a “power” effect like knockdown etc..

shorun.7492:

Maybe I’ll switch to Rifle…it will take me longer, but I think it’s the most fun. Is there a useable Rifle/Longbow build?

Dude your warrior, the world is at your feet. ANY weapon is pretty much viable including those two. longbow=aoe rifle=single targs

There is a point imo. If I write dungeon: AC LFG NOT SKIPPING and people skip, i should have the right to close instance on everyone and kick them out if they try to not listen. Since im solo creator, I dont have a second on vote kick. I like the idea, the maker of run is the master.

Now it does have issues to be addressed, there is a potential for griefing etc… but nothing is perfect, and if people have ideas to solve the problems, I would like instances kept the way they are

I could see this being justified only if you found a different skill that does reflect, I dont know any though so I think it can be summed up as, its not intended to be reflect.

A mesmer buff would be nice though after what they did to confusion/quickness. IMO it would be a nice balance.

Lol Bag Quarry? Santcum of Bags? That doesnt even make sense.. the letters are JQ/SOR… Not BQ/SOB. I Dont get joke

i dont use zerker in pve or pvp. guardian is the class expected to stay alive and res through everything, not dps (base dps is decent already compared to most classes besides warrior). you should have a zerker set ofc, just to have it, but mainly , no.

All classes should NOT be the same, that is what keeps the game interesting. Take a necro for instance, they dont stack DPS conditions, they stack defensive conditions. It all depends what you want and skill level. The fury/vuln is worthless if the team cant survive. This 25 vuln/might is usually when things are stationary and just because COF is so popular, and what everyone talks about, doesnt mean that all encounters are like this. If you have to move and dodge, its harder to get that since banners are stationary, you wont constantly crit etc..

Rate each siege on effectiveness. There are a few ways I thought of doing this, Anet has effectively given them ratings because some can be bought for less money or laurels then the others.

In Gold/Laurel
Alpha Siege Golem – Should be most effective at 1G , Trebuchet – Should be second most effective 24s, Catapult – Should be third most effective 12s ,Ballista – Should be fourth most effective 10s, Arrow Cart/Flame Ram – Should be least effective at 6s.
Laurels are similiarly priced, trebuchets giving you the least amount of prints, then catapaults, then ballista, flame ram and arrow carts the same. EITHER WAY IMO:

Best:
1. Arrow Cart
2. Trebuchet
3. Catapault
4. Flame Ram
5. Ballista
6. Alpha Golem

Good job, gz on the record!
