Guild Wars 2

Get one of those ascalonian weapons its easy to tell when its night or day :P

Curunen.8729:

Can I get a pvp reward track for fractal backpiece, raid backpiece and raid legendary armour then?

;)

Sure, but you still have to grind the mandatory account bound items Good luck especially if you are going for the hot ones hah

1 in 10 attempts , there are some players complaining about 20 match loosing streak so am being generous
Can happen?? Yes, Regularly ?? NO

Lmao just avoid it then ,
You really want legendary armor that bad??? No, then don’t do it nothing else is worth it :P ,its a waste of time.

Terrorsquad.4802:

Which also means ppl who are just brainlessly farming divisions without any knowledge of pvp will get in your team.

Which is why I was in my biggest losing streak, stuck with ppl who had no clue whatsoever about pvp.

Well if you keep a prestigious reward exclusive to one content, its bound to attract players of all agenda,
If you don’t want to play with ppl like those then either you remove the carrot from the meta or you move up the ladder but wait a minute you can’t move up the ladder due to said ppl so……

Whats worst is you have less than 2 months to do it

Raids what are those? XD

The hot’s ones you have no choice dude
I have gotten a percurser in all possible ways one

A random drop
From Mystic forge
From gold
and now from a collection

The only one which was interesting was the collection part
The fastest way however is pure luck
The boring way would be grinding the gold lol

Right now in my collection part i have make a telescope, go to several areas during the night and look at the stars that beats mindless farming gold anyday

yes i have already made an ingame report about this

Drekor.5217:

Well if you have a win rate of 30% with a decent amount of games played the problem is probably you.

What build do you normally run? and how are your fights normally going?

If its with different teams sure
But if its the same team over and over and over again then its a fault of the system
Basically he’s being farmed, no competition,no threat,no match

You get the Ley-line Bezor from the UI chest and not the chest at the way point

It would really be crap if you did not get it seeing how mind numbling that meta is

Yep same problem, no drop

That afk necro ruined it, Is this seriously ranked gameplay where the person is allowed to troll a team??That kitten should only happen in unranked matches

Grind is optional

I never understood this response yet I hear it all the time.

Yes of course the grind is optional. This is a video game, the whole thing is optional. How is this relevant to the discussion?

The grind is optional in ALL MMO’s. You never have to grind if you don’t want to. But compared to the optional grind in other MMO’s GW2 has much more grind for a similar level of achievement.

At least based on my personal experience with SWG, SWTOR, WoW, Rift, LOTRO, WildStar and GW2.

Because of progression
In other games sometimes a grind is needed for you to progress
If you want to play wow now, raid its latest content, raid leaders will ask you for a legendary ring. If you don’t have it then no raid for you <———- Mandatory grind

In this game nope nothing like that

Yes i did it in the fractal , lmao

Crafting mat prices are very high now , even thick leather sections has gone up from 17 copper to 79 copper lmao
So imagine all the other mats then

Gaile Gray.6029:

Players on the legendary journey for Astralaria III will encounter a bug involving Meteorite Ingots. Currently the recipe only provides 1 ingot, where it is intended to provide 25. We plan to fix that recipe bug as soon as we can.

If you craft only 1 Ingot before the recipe fix, all is not lost. After the recipe fix, you may speak with Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion’s Arch and choose the conversation option “I have misplaced a vital component for crafting my Legendary.” For a small amount of Karma, you will be able to purchase Meteorite Ingots in stacks of 5. Only 25 are required for this collection.

We wanted to let you know about this before all you legendary crafters run into the issue and as we said, we’ll get this corrected as soon as we can.

Sweet baby Jesus, i thought i would loose my sanity farming all that aurilium for the collection
*Breathes with a sigh of relief

How do i tell ppl in the map who don’t want or not interested in doing the meta to go kitten off?

Slowpokeking.8720:

I think open world meta shouldn’t be too hard like this one or TT. Meta requires a lot of ppl and it’s very hard to organize. Also some ppl might not want to do the meta but the HP. It was meant to encourage pug players to work together, not to let the majority feel kittened and left after 1 hour preparation and 8 mins fail. Teq is probably the hardest level it should be.

Sure it’s killable but more people feel kittened after so many fails, I mean I could grind much more money and gears doing other meta with such time. Right now many people have already give up on it. After a while I think the situation will become worse.

The design is also a problem, there aren’t much mech to be known, but the DPS check is very tight and the mushroom line is VERY VERY hard, one line failing a phase- game over. Which means it was too punishing for open world meta and require a lot of luck to kill even after you get know the mech.

Exactly in one of my attempts we had a commander doing Hp runs while we were organizing the map for TD,he told us he was coming but he did not and ruined it for everyone

They should just reduce chak gerent health by 20 % or something, his mechanics are not the problem and very easy to deal with

See dude you are making a legendary weapon from this precursor, it should be insane ,extremely expensive, highly timegated , skilled based(yes if you hate jps and meta events l2p or get a mesmer friend for the Jps of-course :P) and very grindy

This makes it even more valuable in the end
The best thing about it is you can’t buy it, yeah the mats as well as the weapon itself from the TP nor the collections items (Account bound)

By the end of it your banks tabs should be empty with only a few silvers in your wallet

Fail fail fail fail fail fail
Fail fail fail fail fail fail
Fail fail fail fail fail fail
Fail fail fail fail

22 attempts – 2 chak gerent kills – 0 successes

Anyone doing better here?? Cant craft precursor without doing this event:(

Edit: I succeed today guys on my 26th attempts

i am now 25 -1 and it was a pug group no voice nothing just pure commanding genius

There was a lot of tension within the 4 groups especially the last few minutes i think ppl were shaking but we all got through it and succeeded

I tried it and it was ok
Saw the pic of a rifle dropped from a raid boss then lost interest, legendary armor is 3 years too late for me ,the only thing it would do is save some bank space
But i have other things prioritized like making Astralaria , Sunrize and the fractal backpiece after that ill probably just log in for the daily and living story

It takes 20 flax seeds to create 1 linseed oil

You want me to farm less then reduce the cost to 2 flax seeds

Your welcome

spinudeci.8079:

PvP reward track ….. #facepalm …..

Not everyone likes to pvp duh!!!!!!!!

This is due to the Devs not supporting dungeons anymore
Imagine if they stopped supporting pvp……………yeah that’s exactly what the op feels right now

This was obviously going to happen
Pvers are now divided into raiders and non raiders with introduction of raids

I have a suggestion though say “Yolo” and all the elitists won’t bother you

I finished the instance but couldn’t find him, could someone post a pic of him google ain’t helpful

Edit :Nvm i found him, some ppl in game helped and just for those ppl who don’t know where he is?, he is across the bridge then to your left

Jarvis.9540:

I understand that ANET has to make money (believe me, I’ve given them plenty), but 400 gems for one bag slot for one character is crazy. I think the fair thing here is to make bag slot purchases account bound.

You do realize that unlocking one bag slot for one character benefits all other characters as well right
You could unlock it on one character and transfer items between characters through the bank so its essential your total inventory slot goes up by 20 if you buy the 20 slot bag

Tree.3916:

Why bother with a DPS check?

Because I don’t want to play with YOU in my group!

Edit If it can be beaten by a full bear bow team, I look forward to seeing your Day 1 Kill Video of the Vale Guardian… Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Are you new to DnT or something ??, it was your group members who did the parsing on rangers soloing Lupi a while ago -they do have the dps

Skoigoth.9238:

I doubt raids will be beatable by PuGs though, so min-maxed group compositions most likely will be a thing.

Same was said about tequalt and triple wurm

Once megaservers came and everyone had the opportunity to learn it was proven wrong very quickly

Maybe I should have formulated clearer, what I meant is: I don’t think PuGs will be able to beat the respectively lasted raid wing right away. Once people have figured stuff out and had the chance to learn the encounters etc.etc., sure, raids will reach farm status eventually I guess.

As for teq, triple trouble and the like, I don’t think you can compare open world stuff to raids tbh, especially when it comes to min-maxing. Way too much variance between groups and much harder to “police” people in 90-100 player events imo.

If thats truely your opinion then raids getting legendary armor would be unfair to the player base

Triple Worm still fails with almost every PuG.
Tequatl was nerfed.

Teq was never nerfed and was pugged the same day mega servers was up so i don’t get “pugs beat him because was nerfed gag”
And as for triple wurm it was beaten by random ppl with no voice coms with no min maxing of any sort despite the elitist saying and i quote “Impossible”

Actually i didn’t want raids altogether i expected more world boss fights like teq or triple wurm

JRM.6218:

I mean Are the goals can be achieved with two or more players? If a player succeeds, Do others get the achievement?

That would simply encourage one person to sell gold adventures and other to just sit afk
Like how we have our dungeons -_-

Its pathetic
We are not crafting a legendary we are crafting an exotic
Why do i need ascended mats for it?

Dawn FIRST tier needs 30 deldimor steel and 10 elonian leather woot, it took me 3 weeks to make my twilight the old fashioned way from getting the precursor to obtaining the other gifts, you expect me to craft for 30 days to make the first tier and not the complete precurser??

Oh sure you want me to farm gold and buy the mats of the tp
Listen here buddy if i wanted to farm gold then i would just buy the kitten pre from the TP and not bother with this

It started off very nicely from unlocking the tier, to going all over the map to get the items to complete the tier ,felt some assemblance of a story and then ended up with a gate or a farm gold option -_- which is the same bloody thing we had before this was implemented – “Rng or farm gold” but in this case we got to do it 3 more times wait 4 times for the new pre weapons

Brilliant

Yeah sure no problem
I pretty much pug everything and get it done , i have no problems bringing a thief into the group at all

The ascended gear/weapon salvage is BS i agree

Neko.9021:

:(

The idea of doing Fractal 1-10 dailies for 4 to 6 more weeks makes me sick.

5 min runs- free loot- free progression

why complain?

saturn.4810:

Nice, as soon as the complaints that masteries are too grindy become old, people start to compaing that they have grinded all masteries and nothing else to do.

Just as expected.

Yup its the old “Rushing through content and have nothing to do” mode again

His next reply is probably going to be “Its extremely easy to farm exp/mastery points you guys are just noobs”

Well us noobs still have things to do XD

Ardid.7203:

Shoe.5821:

Before it was more cooperative. I usually stay at Red and run Amber and Indigo caravans 2/3 of the way through and expect somebody defending Amber and Indigo to receive their supply.

you wern’t doing this because it was good gameplay or because it was more cooperative, you were doing this because you could tag as many events as possible.

in the new system, someone who’s defending blue oasis can receive similar event rewards to someone bounding between indigo <-> red rock.

IM NOT A TAGGER. I play the events and try to be where I’m most needed. This new system punish my playstyle unjustly.

Then you have the taggers to blame
This is why good things can’t happen because ppl find ways to abuse it
If you were doing it or not does not mean it was never happening

But if i am buying items i am exempted from all fees and i will offer 1 extra copper than my closest competitor and be the top buyer of goods

Narrrz.7532:

Again, i get that ANet is terrified of people farming these things to too great personal advantage, but in the process of trying to counteract these few players, they’re really killing a lot of the enjoyment of a major slice of their playerbase.

Lmao its not few, it was basically everyone, nobody was completing events and those who were trying to do the event were considered grievers by the ppl over there and reported (Haha reported for doing content as it was intended)
When the champ bags were introduced every Jormag event i went was a camp farm event nobody was completing it

I believe its intended cause some rewards feel op
25 leyline crystals for a charged lodestone o_0

Yeah i have completed magnus falls all four maps on my warrior, didn’t get any map completion loot from either of them

Fix plz

Meh i wanted to fight a dragon not a humanoid plant creature :P
But i guess he is still alive we may have the chance after all

That’s because of all the event exploiters that would refuse to complete the event inorder to farm XP or champs bags, an example of it is the Orr Champ train
This was also a big issue with Claw of Jormag event where ppl refused to complete the event and simply farm champs

I think chosen is in a much worse state than this
You need masteries to unlock it + weapon smith 350+ scribe 300 just to start the journey
The problem is the scribe 300 that’s causing the issue, Mats to do this is about 600g +a huge amount of guild effort(To start the collection)
Cost of precursor is 559g
Yeah gg

You want to do end game content without doing the start and the middle??
And your excuse is you find them boring o_0??
That’s like saying i like the legendary weapons but i don’t like the grind to get them so give it to me now -_-

I run full berserker i think the mobs in hot are perfectly fine , there should be some sense of danger in the world
If i see an elite Hylek or a couple of vet Hyleks(the ones with deadly dagger or range evasion) i just avoid them or rush through, couple of arrow shots and half my hp goes
Feels very engaging , no change plz

I believe its intended

What are talking about ?we got a 10 % damage bonus inexchange i call it a buff
