Guild Wars 2

CMM.6712:

Whoa there slow down, it doesn’t say anywhere that we are getting a new race and/or profession…(doesn’t say we aren’t either though) but presenting things like this as facts isn’t the right thing to do.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/this-weekend-guild-wars-2-at-pax-south-an-unprecedented-sale-and-double-xp-for-all/

Unless I am misinterpreting this—— I just might be misunderstanding it.

“Can’t make it to PAX? We have something special for you to enjoy from home. We’ll be rewarding double XP to players all weekend. We’re also offering 15% off experience boosters, for an extra burst of XP! Level up an existing character or explore a new race and profession with a new one. Either way, you’ll level up faster than ever.”

However I don’t think they throw the word NEW around twice in the same sentence so lightly.

“Level up an existing character or explore a new race and profession with a new one”
into > Level up a new character with a new race and profession.

I am beyond excited for the new bit of knowledge we will receive later this week to the point where I can’t contain myself.

I have and will always be a big game supporter buying endless amounts of the gems that easily break the $1000 mark.

I have a plan to buy enough gold in hopes for new legendary weapons so the only question I have left is….

Can we get a discount on new character slots in preparation for the new race and profession?

Please close my thread

Thanks

I have spent more than a few Benjamin’s on gem cards and turned those cards into one massive poster which I like to call “The Career”

I have been buying gems online lately as GameStop no longer carries the card in my local area.

What happened to them?

Can I get some spare empty cards laying around mailed to me?

I decided on Jade Quarry as I used to watch a youtube channel where someone played there.

I hope from what I have read that it is on the east coast.

I have traveled to Germany and back 3 times last year and the difference between here and there is significant enough for me to come to the US.

My friends from the EU hardly play the game anymore and my own server has completely died off.

I want something refreshing as well as a chance to start fresh and make new friends.

I need a good server on the east coast.

Anyone have an answer for me?

Looking to move home to the US

I have been in the EU and never changed servers.

I live in Virginia and I want to join a T1 east coast server.

I heard that TC and JQ are on the east coast but is that true?

Serious suggestions?
We want stuff to force ourselves playing the game because of our look – not because every-day content thats not really exists.

Here is a “Serious” one:
Gem Purchase track: The more real money you spend, the more nice rewards you get. Example of total money spent rewards:

1. $10 – 1BL Key
2. $25 – 3Bl Key
3. $50 – 5BL key + Mini pack of choice + “Black Lion Partner” title.
4. $100 – Ascended weapon box OR a free weapon skin unlock of any BL kit.
5. $150 – Ascended armor box OR a free armor skinpack. + “Black Lion Merchant” title.
6. $200 – AN Supporter Superpack (lots of choseable goods)
7. $350 – “Black Lion Trader” title.
8. $500 – “Black Lion Broker” title
9. $1000 – AN Supporter Gigapack (Also unlocks stuff you wouldn’t bother to get anyway, like Glorious armor skins) + “Black Lion Millionaire” title

Something like this. With these kind of heavy rewards, people will less likely to buy legendaries from third-party sites I guess.

“This” and the armor to be some detailed set that relates to the BL symbol not to mention the title.

The armor shouldn’t be overdone but should look like a deep colored armor with a gilded gold/bronze lion crest with “Gems” on it in a fashionable way.

Astral Projections.7320:

I seem to recall that people were using the sonic tunneler to hide under the landscape or to evade attacks by going underneath. So that’s 2 traveling devices that were causing problems in WvW.

ANet probably decided to nerf all these items in WvW since it’s impossible to guess ahead of time how someone can figure out an way to abuse the mechanics. Can you imagine the problems it would cause if enough people abused one if these items and it affected a tournament match and the rewards you get?

I don’t know if what you said was true or not but I highly doubt this happened.

Why not nerf that individual HALLOWEEN AXE SKILL

it sucked in costume brawl anyways

give us our Shiznit back

If people complained so much about particle effects lagging them then they need to get real.

The flying carpet was just released with heavy representation on guilds yet we can’t use them in WvW or EoTM?

How can they possibly harm those environments?

I don’t even play pve like I used to and I want to use such traveling items in wvw/eotm.

The second best option is to give me a refund on every single traveling item which would take away all of the fun that is supposed to be going on.

Return these items to wvw and eotm please.

Asgaeroth.6427:

Upgrade extractors are the worst valued item in the shop by a really hilarious factor. They should be 25 charge for their price and they are 1.

They just are bad value for what you want to do with them. They are intended for infusions, not runes and sigils.

If you could get them at a gem price equal to 5g, guess what will happen?
Everybody will convert gold to gems in order to salvage 10g runes and sigil off their karma gear. This will inflate the gold/gem ratio and flood the market with runes and sigils.
Soon enough, you need to pay 7.5g to get the extractor becuase gems got more expensive and the runes and sigils only cost 7.5g.

Rinse and repeat.

Armor is armor and should be salvaged as armor. Your point is not strong enough to say otherwise.

Forestgreen.7981:

Havoc builds are meant to be able to spike + get away, otherwords mobility. Most move in groups too, the fact you got little escape, clunky weapons for WvW you won’t do well. Longbow is awful in WvW because no one fights in your fire fields, they’ll kite you for days. Enjoy dumping fire fields just to cleanse conditions and dumping your high damage LB3 blast finisher on nothing.

Are you in Tier1 servers? If not then it’ll explain why you think your build is a good idea.

I only used it as a name that sounds nice rather than as some reference that I was unfamiliar with….

as for server I am on RoS and I spend most of my time roaming. I know you guys love to run away but that is just something that I don’t do. I stay there and respect the fight until the end in which I for the most part win. Not everything is about running away.

I don’t play with guilds but I will occasionally play in a small group and slay similar people.

I just want a name for a build that is intent on killing.

You say I that I won’t do well and that they will kite me for days?
You say that these weapons are clunky
Your statements can be said in a few words while my list of pros would drastically out number yours.
I will keep my statement simple. “I challenge you to a duel >:D”

As far as stats and killing ability goes~
This build is polished very well (depending on weapon style & preference)
This build is not meant to run around

I will call it the “Havoc” build and I would like to give my thanks to~
vincecontix.1264 for giving me an idea for a name even if unintended as well as
hybrid.5027 for waking me up a little

keep building in reverse guys

Johnathan Ralston.5871:

I need it for bleeds, condi damage and more critical chance

I thought about doing that for an additional 160 power or putting it back into the final trait line for +3% damage on target per boon. (I do that occasionally)

That trait, with that build. will generate like 1 or 2 stacks of bleed on average. Thats basically nothing and not worth it. Second 50 precision is 2.2% crit chance. Also marginal.

1 stack of bleed + 2% crit chance <<<<<<<<<<<, 160 power and 50 Toughness.

Its not even close.

Yeah you are right… either that or 1 more into discipline for DoTE.

As for the other comments yes this build lacks mobility but that is a matter of personal preference. You use “leg specialist” on hammer 3 and close the gap. You must keep in mind that the amount of people that will get away are fewer than you think. This build is made for roaming and fighting various builds from condi to power.

Gamgee.8612:

I get what you are trying to do. But you allready have alot of burning. Use it! It goes way more in line with condi/direct damage with those weapons. For confusion you want to take Mace/mace and sword shield or something to maximize the interrupts.

If your enemy has half a brain he’ll just make distance while the confusion is up since you have zero mobility and all you invested(4 trait points, full rune set) into confusion is in vain.

Go with the burning. That’s something you have full control over. I propose something like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJATSjMdU5ZZIehwJigjgC7p3BmCAtjRqn6GA-TliAABaqiDAPAg0UCqlyPd2fAkLAwmqHsxhAg7jAAf6CCAgAczbmNvZA38m38m38mlCwRdVA-w

Mace/Mace would only be using skills F1, 3 & 5 out of all of those only skills F1 and 5 would be good. F1 for a long duration stun and 5 for a long reach. The maces reach is far to small on nearly all accounts excluding skill 5. The hammer offers more reach with the same amount of interruptions along with mobility control on the skill 3 and aoe F1 including superior interrupts on 4 and 5. This weapon also mixes with the longbow to stack might and total control by extending your hands out and pulling them in.

Everything blends together – so use your hands like you are Grenth and cover those places where the enemies will run to with aoe, leaps or hammer 3.

I play EoTM more than anything and I suggest watching this video in youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eHwNGhIozQ

If you want a more advanced and polished build go look at the build I posted in this section a few minutes ago.

;) “fear me” is a good friend

I need it for bleeds, condi damage and more critical chance

I thought about doing that for an additional 160 power or putting it back into the final trait line for +3% damage on target per boon. (I do that occasionally)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQJATSjMdU2ZhHehwJigfgC7t3CGDgjW3bk6IA-TVSHAB/pijTKB/R5XBXAgc3fAQ1DA4QAEmumgfCABAQAu5Nzm3MwQH6QH6QHa38m38m38mlCwMdVA-w

Easy might stacks with 12-18 on average.
Tons of confusion damage since I built my stats backwards according to traits.
Plenty of control + aoe fields and reach in general.
Hits like a berserker with OP condi damage.

Power at normal 2159
Condi at normal 325 (or 4 stacks of confusion = 713 dmg)

add 100p + 100c from wvw stacks
add 420p + 420c (12 stacks) ~ ~ ~ 700p + 700c (20 stacks)

Power on average at 2679 ~ 2959
Condi on average at 845 ~ 1125

this build’s low CD time lets you spam swapping and all of your skill repeatedly without having to wait for useful skills

the high “armor” and vitality pool with the regen from the signet and mango pie makes you tanky with superior healing all while being completely OP

the utility skills can be changed as you desire from “Berserker’s stance” to “Signet of stamana” for condi cleansing or prevention

“Balanced stance” and “Dolyak signet” are for stability when you need it

depending on the situation the very last trait can be changed depending on your situation as well not to mention the very first trait in strength for those 1v1 fights against engineers and guardians who love to block.

You might as well call this build an exploit since it practically hits like you have 2 characters.

I created this build as an alternate copy of “Tap Dat Mouse’s legendary warrior build”

Ascended is not as hard to achieve as legendary and the names to each item itself is based off of a character or stat that is unique.

focus on one topic and that is sigil swapping for ascended + legendary

stat changing for ascended is not what this thread is about

#OP #Up vote this thread

PLEASE GUYS if you wish to discuss stats on ascended then do not reply/post as we are hoping to keep this thread clear for the admins

bluberblasen.9684:

warherox.7943:

As long as ascended weapons get the same stat + sigil swap as well.

#1

ascended is based off of names and stats so let it be only for the sigils.

we can’t get off topic unless we want the admins to close the thread

@ pdavis

I changed the title as you suggested

Legendary weapons eat sigils like candy.

Why do we have to have endless weapons with endless sigils?

Certain exotics can be salvaged but anything above that cannot.

Would be nice if legendary weapons are allowed flexibility without eating gold. If you put on a sigil let it be saved to that individual item and changed on the fly like a weapons personal upgrade bank.

Let any weapon have it’s own personal upgrade bank if that would cause envy and if the weapon is to be salvaged only let the active sigil(s) to be returned.

Either way legendary weapons being permanent should have some benefit so as to not infinitely eat gold as no one can afford to salvage a legendary. That feature was removed anyways…

:) I don’t care if you say no, give an alternative or insult me but it would be helpful-

I am watching this finisher in the hero panel and I must have it!!!

The only thing in the way is that it’s not currently being sold in the gem store.

Gele.2048:

you can SHUT DOWN duel request in any GOD kitten game why you people are so afraid i have no idea u can shut it down u dont even have to play it but let us the one that likes that option to enjoy PLS its not fer you guys have bad arguments vs no dueling plss let us have that option we can use it you guys dont have to

I agree!! I would love for someone to come up to me and ask to fight with a pop up on my screen [[If I don’t have the option automatically blocked]]

Then I would have an amazing fight on the spot in the middle of an artistic terrain that is nearly endless then continue on my way.

Honestly the game makers should say kitkitkitten all of the weak people who say no and just give it to everyone. If you don’t like it turn it off~ you would be no less upset and we can all be kitkitten happy about it and move on.

You guys don’t get the fact that we as players need to be able to fight the people we want without being hindered.

All of the methods recommended are not good enough.
PvP is a cookie cutter fighting system.
WvW/EoTM is complete freedom except for the fact that you can’t fight people of the same color.

These thread makers and everyone of the like want to fight as it should be. If you want to fight someone and they say yes then you should be able to do just that. They want to use their own mix’n’match stats with their food, potion and any other consumable. That is exactly what WvW is but without the harsh limitations.

Just like most hackers they just want to hack because they get a power trip from it. It makes them feel like they have power and control over anything and they can do as they please. LizardSquad is even verbally calling out the FBI on Twitter. All I can say is good luck with that. Bunch of idiots.

Either the FBI doesn’t care or they can’t do anything about it. These attacks happen all the time, but when was the last time you heard about an arrest?

Gotta track them down yourself if you want something done about it.

Actually a member of the Anonymous hacktivist group was tried and found guilty for an online crime against a tissue company. He/she received 6 months probation, 60 hours of community service and a fine of well over $100,000.

It is illegal to perform cyber crimes in the US unlike many other countries who do not have laws about such things. (Japan)

Not sure if this next part is true or not but BAM https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101222201921AA4dj8z

I can’t even run a single dungeon or make good progress on WvW/EoTM

map completion is also hindered by this crash problem…

There is a chance to redirect a GM to my current ticket from here.

I have no free time anymore so as to be able to play in wvw eotm the way I wanted to I bought gems to turn into the 5 trinket nomad pieces to finish a trolling build.

I messed up and put them onto my worst character that is nothing but a crafting class.

Please help me fix this issue asap so as not to waste my money and precious time that I only get but once every 2 weeks.

I was watching this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqmcIFekewE

at 0:04-0:07 he was able to turn around his camera in a similar manner as to checking your “rear view mirror” while driving without using the “about-face” hotkey

How do you manipulate the camera without altering your walking direction?

It seems to be quick helpful and fluid in terms or pvp.

please tell me how you did it.

When it is time to run how many times do you press escape key?

If you press any other key besides esc key how many MORE times do you press esc key?

do you spam the esc key and get no response until after 2-5 presses?

Inefficient-

If you use an aoe movement skill or dodge you have to press the esc key extra times despite having already pressed it.

Options>Control options >Targeting Options ~ GM/Dev to make a Lose target hotkey that is 100% accurate.

Sub topic 180* about-face is bugged and returns you to your original position causing you to waste efficiency. Requesting a crisp patch for 100% accuracy

BECAUSE I AM A SCUM-BAG

(do I suck at this game? Idk & Idc as long as i have the highest K.D. possible I say screw any kill ratio that is not insanely high even if it is only WvW.)

proviticus.4183:

press escape
/15char

Just because my PC is a toaster that doesn’t want to use the ESC correctly doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a hotkey of our choice for a similar action

We just need a simple option similar to the other commands

Mac.3872:

Id like to see a new feature that discourages fleeing and encourages fighting.

Maybe I`m just crazy.

1. I can stomp you
2. Maybe you want to stop other players from running
3. They have those features already and it is known as C.C.

The options are

Call Target,Take Target, Nearest Enemy, Next Enemy, Previous Enemy, Nearest Ally, Next Ally, Previous Ally & Lock Autotarget

At times people try to flee from a fight or from an oncoming train wreck using their skills in an attempt to escape. At times the player tries to click an open area to lose his targeting so that he can flee in the best way he can but it doesn’t always work.

I would like to make the suggestion of a targeting command to lose all targeting.

No more unwanted lunging or dashing towards the enemy you are trying to flee from~

delete me — my stupidity knows no bounds sometimes.-——

Anyone know how to stack legendary aura’s post patch?

When I am wielding [Bolt] in my main and [The Moot] in my off then I get both aura’s.

However, when I weild [The Moot] in my main and [Bolt] in my off hand or any other weapon in my main hand then I do not recieve my [Bolt] aura.

I need the [Bolt] aura as my [Frostfang] will not have an aura and weilding those two legendary’s without any aura is quite painful.

No reply yet support told me to post here~~~ I am glad I sent my reply to them but I would like the developers to say something about this issue here.

Please?

Berelious.3290:

Jerus, it’s both. It’s been that way since the start of the game. I believe it was meant as a way to keep the market from being flooded since badges are relatively easy to come by.

Incorrect sir

The armor up until the 4 winds update would let you by full exotic WvW armor of 5 or 6 preset stats of your choice for badges only. The weapons have been badges + gold until that point.

Anet retired some of the vendors so the armor now costs badges + gold.

The badges only exotic armor about 3 weeks ago and prior could not be salvaged but could be forged and sold for tons of profit. That is why they turned the badges only armor to a cost of gold as well.

I must say that your statement is false

P.S. weapons could not be salvaged or forged / armor could not be salvaged but could be forged just a few weeks ago (GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD)

I edited my original comment so as to make the bug easier to understand. I see no need to create another thread as this one is already here.

P.S. This is most certainly not a bump.

Bolt in the main hand has the electric aura while the offhand doesn’t.

I can weild Bolt/The Moot and receive all particle effects while The Moot/Bolt is missing the lightning aura.

I plan on getting Frostfang/Bolt but if I do so, I would like to have my lightning aura please.

Ascended Armbrace of truth~~~~ found it on google just had to type in 2012 in the search box and browse for the longest time

“Snaff’s gyre” was the original ascended magic find OFFENSIVE ring

what is the original ascended magic find OFFENSIVE trinket/earring? I need it for customer support thx

I was sent here via my support ticket by GM Anduil.

I have a favor of the festival sitting on my account and I am not interested in acquiring more tokens to use it so may I exchange it for 50 obsidian shards?

Lets ask Colin about it again in detail

SHOUT-OUT TO COLIN!!!!!

I can’t wait to see what the new legendary weapons will be or what their recipes will require.
