Guild Wars 2

Well, I had fun today. Good show out there Maguuma.

Willing to bet the upgrade to ascended will be based on the appearance section of the transmute.

Maybe they don’t want anything over the Legendary. We should be allowed to do what we want. Unfortunately, we’re limited to a specific way of playing in PVE.

Some people enjoy focusing on a goal and working toward it.

Cat Party.

It took me the longest time to realize they were saying meow.

Some might be, yes. But they do bring up some good points.

The real main issue people are talking about is diminishing returns preventing you from doing what you want. Fun is only what they want you to consider fun etc.

Personally, I prefer Juggs.

Blaeys.3102:

I play alot and I have never once experienced diminishing return.

Play the game as it was obviously intended. Dont stand in one area (or even stay in the same zone) repeating the same small number of events over and over for hours. That isnt heroic and it isnt fun. Branch out, tackle new events you havent been to in a few days, switch between farming mobs and tackling dynamic events – there is plenty to do to keep DRs from kicking in.

One of my favorite things to do is start at one end of a zone and work my way through it. In most zones, you make a fair amount of coin and karma doing this – and it is fun.

People keep looking for an easy/simple way to acquire mats for their legendaries. The thing is, if it were easy or simple, then they wouldnt be legendary.

Stop looking for shortcuts and play the game.

What’s fun for you, isn’t necessarily fun for other people.

I want to play the game and feel I don’t have to do dungeons as the only source of income. Killing Claw of Jormag should net more than 1 Silver 50 Copper from the event, and 50 Copper from the chest plus an assortment of blues.

Frostgorge is my favorite zone. I like to swim below the Glaciers mining Mithril, and doing the events I happen to stumble upon when on the surface. However, this is barely profitable, and thus If I want to progress in this game, I’m forced into dungeons.

Hell, when I’ve mined out the zone and DR kicks in on monsters. I have to leave this zone, regardless of the fact It’s where I want to be.

I find myself using my golem when I’m outside of groups. Wouldn’t mind the option to skip out on an elite, since It’s fairly situational.

I agree with some of your statements.

Pvp feels slow, The down state does not help this.

WvW could use more siege weapons. I’d personally like something like a Stealth Tent. Build it, and people can walk inside the invisible fort to be cloaked from view.

Easy way to goad an enemy team into trying to zerg the smaller force, or hiding a force inside the enemy walls. The Reason the 3 borderlands are the same is to keep each side balanced. If they were different, some might be harder to defend than others.

My Personal biggest gripe with this game, is the meager rewards for doing events. Even the harder one’s that take a chunk of time to do, such as the Risen Legendaries.

John Widdin.9618:

At least you can make about half that back in sweaters.

all the sweaters in the world would not be able to cool my burning finger.

Well, no. That would defeat the purpose of the sweater. They’re called Ugly sweaters, Not grossly inefficient sweaters.

At least you can make about half that back in sweaters.

Erasculio.2914:

GW2, unlike other MMOs, is not a game designed for farmers, grinders and exploiters; it’s designed for everyone else. The main reward for doing events should be having fun.

except it’s the people who play casualy who suffer if they want to get anything beyond a basic set of exotics.

I was remarkably bad at the winter puzzle. But that’s mostly my fault for being bad. Not Anet’s. I was literally the last person in my instance of it. After 2 hours, I was the only one left, and when I fell it would instantly reset the field.

That’s when I finally got it. If it was harder, maybe my friends wouldn’t look at me the way they did after their 6th or 7th time completing it when I hadn’t done it even once.

Racials aren’t meant to be better than class skills.

I do find use for the Defense golem though. If kitten hits the fan and we need to keep a boss in place, it will work for a good 30 seconds to a minute. Unless I drop it when the boss has a gib skill ready.

Drakken.3427:

I am trying to group with 4 other players to do fractals, and none of us can get into lion’s arch overflow. This is bullkitten, anet needs to add in guesting for parties at least for fractals/dungeons.

Give it time. The game is still pretty young. They need time to polish and add in these features. Given the game is a one time purchase deal, a little patience isn’t too much to ask for.

That said, I do wish a good chunk of the problems with fractals would be fixed, but again. All in time.

juno.1840:

Orr is “empty” compared to what it use to be. You could say it’s fewer bots, but now I see very little of anyone. Good luck getting your temple karma armors.

Similarly, getting a dungeon team is not as easy as it use to be (unless that dungeon is fractals).

To be fair, Orr is a pretty awful place to play in. It’s not even nice to look at. I wish we had more Shiverpeaks zones.

Over all the population seems to be mostly in Lion’s arch. Though I do see people out in the world from time to time.

Don’t worry man! I got you!

This is what I roll with.

This is for the sole purpose of being exceedingly durable, while maintaining ranged damage. I focus on Toughness, Condition damage, Precision items, and use %chance on crit bleed sigils on my weapons. This is neat with Longbow, since each individual arrow when firing two has it’s own crit chance.

For Great Justice
and the two immobilizes with this skill set ensure you can maintain a healthy crit chance, and stay damaging the enemy.

Banner can be swapped with Signet as needed

Signet of fury allows you to maintain your burn duration, and Frenzy allows you to rip apart any relatively squishy target extremely fast.

I try to juggle between ranged and melee, depending on what the enemy is doing. Specifically, the fact you have tons of condition removal with that warhorn.

Hope this has helped a little.

“Cantha

In the year 1127 AE, Emperor Usoku, successor to Kisu, took a firm hold of his nation. He raised the Canthan military, spending millions in gold to arm his troops, and then swept the countryside. He defeated the Luxons and the Kurzick, incorporating these disparate people back into his nation. Usoku unified Cantha behind a strong national identity and began to drive out all non-humans. His regime was ironclad, tyrannical, and fierce. Those Canthans who did not agree with the emperor’s dictates were given no choice but to leave their homeland, seeking refuge and sanctuary in Elona and Tyria.

As a result, Cantha became extremely isolationist. Once Orr rose from the ocean, those tendencies were reinforced by an inability to safely sail the western seas. Any ships venturing near the Strait of Malchor are sunk by the black ships, then dredged from the ocean floor by the Orrian dragon and commandeered into service. Thus, completely cut off from Kryta, Cantha vanished entirely. Travelers, refugees, and even Xunlai agents residing within Tyrian [sic] heard nothing more from Cantha.

Sporadic sailors have washed ashore on the southern coast of the Maguuma jungles [sic], but that is the only evidence that Cantha even exists past the cataclysmic event that cut it off from Tyria. It can only be assumed that Usoku’s successors continued his dictatorial, isolationist rule, and that Cantha continues beneath the iron fist of the emperor, as ever."

For all we know, the Emperor may have succeeded in his purge of all things inhuman in Cantha, including the Tengu, and began his push into Elona. Which would put him against Palawa Joko.

Who knows.

I don’t believe it will ever be applied to WvW.

Otherwise, you can go to the same world as anyone you group with.

It seems more likely that the gods are being fed upon by the dragons, as opposed to the dragons actually being them.

During the Asura Story you cover how the Dragons consume vast amounts of magic around them, and with each of the Dragons having an element the same as each god, it’s possible that it’s just that.
