Yeah there is an update on the 29th…i fully expect that to be the big bad Mad King update where we fight him in his dungeon again.
I heard one thing they are doing to them is making them stronger for support.
Any chance they are getting rid of the skill uses side of them and making them a time limit only thing?
here’s what i would do
make all bosses non-crittable like Tequatl
Berserker’s Gear is for champ farming at the speed of light
Knights or Sentinels becomes the best dungeon and world boss gear
Honestly? I hope it’s Grenth.
Remember GW1 when Grenth would show up to ban people? Think of something like that. Everyone gets a box in their mail with some ominous letter. They open it, it falls on the ground at their feet, and Grenth shoots out and hacks you with his Scythe like in GW1 and you die.
I honestly hope it is that, cause I want to see the rage flood the forums.
I just hope it’s not another RNG Lottery Box is all. It could contain anything at all, as long as it’s not some RNG box with a “cold day in hell” chance at winning something.
That was Dhuum.
that’s the guy Grenth stole his god powers from….Dhuum is definitely more kitten
Ellen Kiel wins the election, now what?
What is Scarlet’s motive for going bat kitten crazy?
WE DON’T KNOW!
You didn’t read Scarlet’s short story on the website I presume.
But yes, ANet does need a more coherent story, and needs to tie in each chapter together in a better way..
oh no i read it…how she went into the mists and saw the future of the pale tree being wrapped in thorns, and she wanted to live on her own and not under the influence of the pale tree or nightmare court or Ventari’s Tablet
but Anet has never said, nor has Scarlet said “She wants to destroy them both”, we have had to assume that this is her motive and if her motive is wanting to destroy the Pale Tree and Nightmare court….wtf was she doing breaking up a human event? Other than putting her on our radar to stop her eventually….does she want us to stop her?
bro…you know you can combine some of your thoughts into a single thread, rather than having 5 threads for each separate thought
I’m sure everyone wants Halloween to be bigger this year
just saw on the facebook feed for gw2 that they are not the same box
Looks to me an awful lot like Gaheron’s coffin that we can see at the end of CoF path 2
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Coffin-in-CoF/first#post2243656
Perhaps now Gaheron has joined with Mad King Thorn…idk
wow..if it is the same box or coffin, which im not sure, i don’t see red jewels on the sides like i do with the box….but that supposedly has the Khan-Ur’s body in it…has the Khan-Ur joined forces with the Mad King?
(edited by Jordo.5913)
The Mad King is not the king of madness, he is a king who is mad.
The Bloody Prince is not the king of blood, he is a prince who is bloody.
Make sense now?
Well the Mad King is a king no more…so what is he the king of? King of the mad realm…..so yes, he is the KING OF MADNESS!
Mad King is going to have it in for you this year!
No one deserves the title of MAD other than the Mad King.
So i guess his son knew this and went after being as bloody as he can be to get the nickname Bloody Prince!
Ellen Kiel wins the election
When FotM comes out with the new fractals they are going to say we permanently impacted Tyria… which is true. A large number of players chose Ellen and that leads to the fractal. A large number didn’t and they didn’t impact Tyria at all.
The way they went about it, it’s not much different from a poll on the website. They said they had two fractal ideas and presented them to players. The story doesn’t actually care which candidate represents which fractal – Ellen isn’t an asura or Priory member trying to figure out some Thaumanova mystery and Evon isn’t interested in Abbadon. The story itself didn’t care about the candidate and their respective fractal, it was just a transparent poll pushed into the game with a bunch of unnecessary baggage (WP costs, reduced keys, black and white characterisations).
Southsun gave players a way to impact the world twice and neither time was it a choice. Players helped first colonise the island and take out the threat and then players later returned to clear up the contracts issue and reinforce the colonies. It’s just a shame the story delivery was so weak.
while it is true who won the election may not be so vital to the story….the reason the election for a trade agreement with the zephyrites is vital to the story….yet we don’t have the slightest idea why
I think speculating about what’s coming up next is one of the reasons why GW2 is a good game.
yea…you can speculate what the next release…but more often than not ur wrong because you dont know what has happened in the past…..and when the content is out, you dont even know if ur right because you dont know what is going on
after grind wars2, click wars2 this is the funniest transmutation ever, and you didn’t pay gems for it!
coming to a forum near you…..Gem Wars 2!
What’s the point of this topic?
WE DON’T KNOW!
nah just joking but yeah you got a point there.
everything feels unfinished.
lol
i mean usually…if you look at this as if it is a book telling a story, each content update is a chapter
usually the author will give you reasons of what is happening in the chapter in the same exact chapter so you know what the kitten is going on….maybe saving a twist later down the road
but to have a twist, you need to already think something happened a certain way….and then to find out it actually a happened a different way
we have no idea what is going on, so there are no chances for twists later down the line
Ellen Kiel wins the election, now what?
WE DON’T KNOW!
Why did Tequatl get stronger even though Zhaitan is dead?
WE DON’T KNOW!
What is Scarlet’s motive for going bat kitten crazy?
WE DON’T KNOW!
A private instance would ruin what makes the tower so much fun.
I cant agree with this. Even when I got the puzzle down to almost guaranteed success, my fail percentage when up tremendously whenever I couldn’t see myself for a major portion of the race. It got so bad people were actually griefing the puzzle making the largest characters they could and using items that made it incredibly hard to see the next jump. Your ability to win shouldn’t at all depend on horrible camera mechanics including the inability to see yourself because of others.
Scale everyone to the same size IMHO and no useable items or abilities. Or Let me run it alone.
I cant believe I still have this screen shot… It wasn’t fun is was just annoying.
lmao…the “You’re all bookahs” comment had me rofl’ing
Is this achievement bugged? I completed all of the optional events post-dungeon and didn’t get the achievement.
you have to do it in the time limit alotted…otherwise no go….
u’ll want to assign each party member to a certain part of the after story for quickest results
you are NOT useless…and neither are rangers….they are actually extemely useful in this fight….just make sure you are on holographic duty
when you see stacks starting to go up….go grab a holographic add and bring him to the boss and then position him with ease using ur greatsword “5” ability that knocks enemies back….or rangers longbow “3”(?) ability i believe which knocks the enemy back…and make sure the hologram goes literally ON TOP of the boss
then if your a mesmer, time warp the kitten out of the boss when his stacks are all the way down
your group will thank you in the end
try not to summon many illusions or phantasms as for this particular boss fight…it is less about damage, and more about making sure that shield stack hits 30
I wanted to help the game and Anet out
Please don’t follow that belief, all gem store purchases are given to NCSoft
1. Developer makes a gem shop to bring in income.
there are two ways this plays out:
2a. No one buys gems thus creating no income.
2b. NCsoft sees gw2 as a failure, and slowly limits how much money Anet gets each month leading to layoffs and no more content updates
3a. A lot of people buy gems to support gw2.
3b. NCsoft sees gw2 as a moneymaker success, gives Anet more money to keep content coming out at a regular pace to keep people spending money in the gem shop.
i’m thinking the latter already happened and is why we saw Living Story updates go from every month to every two weeks
so yes, gem shop purchases do help support Anet
this would please me…
Mad King gets into this world and finds out there is someone more mad than he?
He can’t stand for that and teaches Tyria a lesson (thank god) by getting rid of Scarlet.
any other thoughts?
i would get the temple gear, but i currently do not have a lot of karma floating around atm….got around 70k and each piece of the rare version only costs like 4k each
So I will admit, I’m a zerker type guy….and why shouldn’t I when i can dodge fairly well.
Yet, Tequatl comes out and renders me useless…and with PVT gear being so hard to come by….farming Badges for the WvW exotic version, Sentinel’s gear expensive as hell, and farming tokens for dungeon gear….
i found a Rare version of the Invaders gear in WvW that you can buy for just Karma i believe….
would the Rare 80 version be enough to fight Tequatl?
the regen is higher as well…before you didn’t have to worry cuz the zerg had enough dmg to out do the regen
i agree…the worm is what each world boss should strive to be
moar people = moar lagg
u really want that?
eh…not for me…i usually stay around 20-30 fps…
but it would be bad for DPS is most of the zerg is lagging
+1 if you think Anet should increase Map Population for just that zone or if they should make the AFK timer shorter thus kicking people out of the map
Yak’s Bend probably has around 30 AFK’ers every time, i see people just standing back by the waypoint doing nothing…probably hoping they will get a completion if they just afk through each event after they tag at least one mob
BogOtter, from guildcast on gamebreakertv, was in the blackgate group that killed tequatl
Much props to him!
Since there’s a lot of people afk while they are manning the turrets and won’t get off of it, i think anet should implement this.
this is surprisingly a great idea
the only problem would be trolls spending 100g just to get commander, and then trolling
pokemon
/15 chars
well…blackgate has downed him..so i guess that speeds things up
The entire problem is that the event rewards just like any other event. Considering its length, difficulty and huge chance of failure, it should be infinitely more rewarding. I genuinely don’t understand why each 25 percent doesn’t give five to 10 champion bags.
i would say…each time u beat him gives an ascended ticket….a certain number of ascended tickets lets you buy an ascended weapon
at the current difficulty
You know that back slot item is not a reward for killing Tequatl but for completing the current living story arc?
Until anyone defeats Tequatl we don’t know how great or awful might be its rewards.
its the same as any other event….
garaunteed two rares
chance @ ascended tequatl skinned weapon
chance @ tequatl mini
chance @ exotics
chance @ rares
chance @ ascended mats
various blues and greens and mats
snip
you my friend…understand me entirely
Let everyone leave. I’m sure with enough practice and teamwork, guilds will be able to take him down.
a guild group of like 20-30 people…if everyone gets on, would not be able to take him down simply because of his high health pool
and i agree that his new mechanics are awesome, and it’s sad that people are going to give up because they are failing at 60-80%
if we were failing at say….10-20% a person would still have in the back of their head “We can do this next time!”
I’m worried that if Anet doesn’t change Tequatl soon, that after so many times of only getting Teqautl down to 60-80%….the event is going to be a ghost town.
Right now, the only thing keeping it going is that it’s new, and people think they can beat it.
After that, people are striving to be the first server to take him down.
But after that, I don’t think there is going to be enough oomph to want to do him.
Laugh at the high level players farming champions in Queensdale, laugh at them hard. Farming in Frostgorge Sound or even Cursed Shore gets you way more money.
You do know that all the champs are events in Queensdale which give butt loads of exp/karma right?
You also know that Queensdale is a low level map, unlike Frostgorge, that anyone can farm right?
I’m going to let you put two and two together…
I will agree that Frostgorge makes you more money per time, but you gotta realize just cuz they are sidekicked down doesn’t mean they are lvl 80…i took my 70 there earlier and got him to 80 in about 2 hours.
So I’m trying to decide if going for Ascended will be worth my time.
Everything in the game right now is based and balanced around exotics, so I see no need to go for ascended.
Yet with ascended gear getting released more and more…i’m worried that the game may eventually be balanced around someone being fully ascended geared.
So will future content(after Ascended Armor comes out) be balanced around Exotic or Ascended stats?
you guys are making this worse….
guy gets in trouble for giving too much info forum
so you guys link and post threads about his blog where he reveals even MORE info
all these threads are going to cause him to get fired
if you wanna show support go play SAB
What is this thing and how do we get to it?
in Super Adventure Box: Back to School
Posted by: Jordo.5913
pretty sure is going to be a hand upgrade we get in the future, probably world 3….
if you notice, the only thing our current hand can break is wood….the wall blocking that is cement
You know…when people grabbed their pitchforks and exclaimed for Robert Hrouda, esspecially in the Ranger forums…he ended up getting fired.
If you don’t want SAB World 3 to go up in flames because you caused Josh Foreman to get fired and someone else took over, you need to stop these posts.
Arenanet was mad when he gave us too much info in the forums. I can only assume they are going to be more kitten ed about what he put out into the public on his blog post.
Bravo.
I think they are working on that, or at least that’s what I got from the interview with Colin Johanson I saw.
yeah…they are working on a Wardrobe system right now…where if you have that skin unlocked…you can use it over and over and over
kinda kittening themselves over since transmutation stones will be null and void
My initial build was 10/25/10/25/0
but now evolved to the current one
20/25/0/25/0GS +Sword/Focus.
Zealot Defense deals 14k dmg on CoE Mark T,provided with 25stacks of might and invul. P.S Not a single buff food is consume.I choose traits on 5% dmg on GS and Sword + Damage Modifier + Constant Combo Vulnerability from Symbol and Blind by swapping weaponEmpowering Might = Best Guardian DPS
Blind by swapping weapon? how is that possible?
I do not understand this. Why would you waste all that time and effort and gold on a legendary, just to cover it up with a skin?
Why wouldn’t you now, just craft an Ascended weapon(confirmed to be the last tier while Colin is still head of GW2) and put a skin on top of that?
Do you really want your Jade Dragon Greatsword to have purple lettering that badly?
I could understand wanting to switch stats to save money….but u could just make a berserker weapon that will work with 99.9% of builds even if it is zerker.
the entitlement is strong in this one
So I was thinking….they didn’t bring back the blue W1 skins….so they probably won’t bring back the W2 skins…..what will Bauble Baubles be used to buy in the eventual World 3 update?
Will they come out with Super Skins 2.0? Perhaps some 8 bit armor?
i believe that Zhaitan is wounded, not dead, and they are going to release eventually some living story to finish Zhaitan’s fight the right way
or they are just going to revamp the Arah fight….but the first sounds better =)
all you guys saying Charr are bad?
you need to step back and read some lore from before the first game….Humans came in and did the exact same thing to the Charr…and took the land FROM the Charr in the first place
the charr were just taking back what was rightfully theirs…..and they wanted it back so bad because they are beasts, and very territorial
when you start a war, you better be able to put up with the consequences if you can’t finish the war
i did not choose charr because:
i hate beast races
armor clipping
ugly armor
hate steampunk
Tybalt was the only good thing about the charr race in this game
hmm i c
I actually think he does know…and is somehow manipulating you into pranking his old krewe.
Some funny stuff.
forums are….at it’s core…a place to get feedback to the Dev’s about something you don’t like….
thus, this forum is a place for whiners….anyone who doesn’t have anything to whine about is already in the game playing it
the only reason i usually come to these forums every day is
1)Read front page of Gen Discussion whiners
2)Read front page of Living Story whiners
3)Ask a question i need answers to
4)Go to my class’ forums
