Guild Wars 2

still need a reply!

Dengar.1785:

Yes, because event scaling totally isn’t a thing and adding more people to any event won’t just raise how much HP it has and thereby make adding more people just pointless. >_>

it’s more people in those lanes to help push their bonus levels too…i’m going to put this in as simple of terms as i can for you

more spores = higher nuhoch bonus level
higher bonus level = equal or more dps on boss = less people needed in Nuhoch
less people needed in Nuhoch = more people for other 3 lanes
more people for other 3 lanes = more people to push bonus in the other 3 lanes
more people to push bonus = more dps in the other 3 lanes as well
more dps = all bosses killed

What I’m hoping for….is that it’s going to be a collection to unlock him as a pet on a Ranger, after we find out that he’s not dead….

…..or Braham is going to take him under his wing, and the Guardians next elite spec is going to be a pet spec.

Dengar.1785:

I would, but I’m never on Nuhoch lane. I don’t even know how high their level usually goes. I just know that they managed to get it down, and that’s all that matters. It’s best I stick to the lanes I know.

Yes, the event still failed, but that is not the point of your argument. The point of your argument was that Nuhoch lane is impossible, which it is not.

The problem is you had so many people to dps Nuhoch that you didn’t have enough to dps the other lanes.

You wouldn’t need that many at Nuhoch if they put enough spores to activate the bonus levels….because more bonus levels means more dps on boss during the burn phase.

If they put more spores to push bonus levels, you could spread those extra people from Nuhoch to other lanes and could actually beat it.

Gremix.2514:

Yes! How are we supposed to enjoy this content anymore? It’s been over a week since release! If it hasn’t been beaten yet, then it never will! It’s simply too stressful to figure out all these new mechanics. Can we please have more immoble, non-breakbar bosses where we can stack and just auto attack if we want?

check out this diva

If you don’t think it’s broke, then you obviously have not even tried to complete it, or you’ve never ran Nuhoch lane

the bosses aren’t even the issue, it’s the mechanics that aren’t balanced….the spawn rate on spores is atrocious and you can’t get into bonus rounds

Aveneo.2068:

I expected him to look more alien and closer to the original concept art. I didn’t expect him to be changed into a generic chinese dragon with a single bramble vine wrapped around his body…

Not the mouth of mordy, ACTUAL Mordy.

Anyways, I saw this

You realize Mouth of Mordy is very much the actual Mordy? It’s said as much throughout the meta and the final mission itself

I feel like I must be the only person in the planet that saw Mindremoth and went “oh cool!”

your both wrong….the mouth of mordremoth is a part of mordremoth, but not mordremoth himself, mouth of morde was trying to consume rocks of ley line energy to feed back to him…..just like the mouths of zhaitan were a part of zhaitan and were eating ancient artifacts to feed zhaitan

then the Mordremoth you fight in the personal story is Mordremoth representing himself that way in his mind, you never fight mordremoth in the actual physical realm, much less ever see his true body

Please Roy, a response!

and the axe and mace

this is the hammer i’m talking about

uhh….what are those? Those are not the Rev weapons that were used….

The weapon skins that were used for the Revenant during the betas, where are they in game now?

Is it going to be raid loot? Gem store? Black Lion Chests?

So I don’t know if Anet knows the purpose of the crashing yet….but I noticed that several character models around me where becoming this really shiny bright green and bright blue texture instead of what it should be….then when I opened up the trading post, it was a big square with this exact same texture on it.

After i noticed this, I crashed about 10 seconds later.

Jugend.1567:

I’ve been running Staff/SB with Zerk armor, and runes of the brawler. I feel like the runes give enough toughness to help you sustain a bit longer in a fight, but not lose out on damage. I run Weakening Strikes, Staff Master and Bound, with Fist Flurry and Impact Strike, and i really love being able to hop around, with a consistent 10% damage increase, but not really have to worry about dying instantaneously.

I think you might like Rune of the Daredevil even more….same as brawler, but the 6 piece is “Next attack garaunteed to crit after completing a dodge roll in combat”

yeah, i’m planning on switching out of zerk

Marauder stats look like they were made for Daredevil imo

+Power
+Precision
+Vitality
+Ferocity

I just gotta figure out how to get the inscription….it’s not on exalted, itzel, or exalted vendors….so maybe it’s the Dragon’s Stand vendor?

I just did the Dragon’s Stand meta event…..unfortunatley the crash bug hit me with about 10% of the boss to go, and he had only consumed 50% ley line

but, man was that a fun meta event….and the mouth of mordremoth is epic looking and is a really fun fight!

Saintkerias.8690:

^^ Same as person above cant get in on any of my 9 characters error code…

same as above

Are you guys running berserker still?

I slapped Daredevil on my D/D thief but I feel like I’m getting absolutely decimated. I yo-yo a lot compared to my other classes.

With DD not really being stealthy, and the thiefs low HP pool, I feel like I’m going to have to use Knight’s or Valkyrie, just to help myself stay alive.

weird….i maxed out my herald, but there was no Rune of the Herald in my shoulder piece nor a recipe

Any idea what or how to get these? I’m trying to find them for crystalline ore.

and once you have the trophy, you can sell it correct?

In the collection for each piece there is a pretty generic trophy….such as

dropped from bandits
dropped from nightmare court
dropped from sons of svanir
dropped from flame legion
dropped from inquest

are these just generic drops off the mobs, or are they in the mat bags that these types of enemies drop?

I log in today, thinking I’m going to have to go to old tyria to farm some hero points…..instead I have full Herald unlocked, and can experience the rest of the expac as my elite spec! Thanks so much!

dance in the middle

ColinJohanson.2394:

Hey folks,

Lots of passionate feedback and discussion in here on either side, and a friendly reminder that constructive feedback helps us make better games (please do keep it constructive!) We don’t always get every detail perfect the first time, but I like to think one of our strengths is we’re always open to and listening to feedback from our community and making good decisions based on that feedback.

Ultimately, we’re thrilled with the parts of HoT everyone is enjoying. Your passion is awesome, and it’s part of why we all love creating this game. In particular, in game we’ve seen a really positive reaction to the game from folks who are busy playing, which has been really cool to see.

While we never like to rush and make snap decisions, in particular with a game that’s basically been out less than three days; I think there are some fair points in here for us to discuss. Much like other feedback about HoT, we’ll be discussing this as well!

Thanks again!

Thank you!!

I’m kind of kittened about the ending though….they couldn’t at least just show us what was in that kitten egg. Now we have to wait.

The ending didn’t reveal anything….we all pretty much knew that mordremoth was going to die, and that the egg was going to hatch at some point, but into WHAT!!!

Jordo.5913:

The ending satisfied two of my three wants

Mordremoth dead
Trahearne dead
What is in the kitten egg!

Unfortunately, gonna have to wait til Living Story Season 3 for the last bit of info

I will say the Mordremoth fight was cool, but it didn’t feel like fighting an Elder Dragon. Zhaitan was much more “cool” fight, because he is what I expected an Elder Dragon to look like.

So Zhaitan had better cinematics, bad mechanics
Morde had better mechanis, bad cinematics

The ending satisfied two of my three wants

Mordremoth dead
Trahearne dead
What is in the kitten egg!

Unfortunately, gonna have to wait til Living Story Season 3 for the last bit of info

54 pages, and still no response LOL…..Anet get it together and change this

This worked for me, thanks!

found a fix!

choose 13….then re-choose 14….char select…log out….log in

Mine still requires Itzel Poison Lore to progress

Khristophoros.7194:

How about letting us unlock elite specs BEFORE we’ve played through all of the content? We want to play the content with the elite specs, not our old builds.

MatthewMedina.5419:

Hey all,

I just wanted to pop in here real briefly to let you all know that the team discussed the complaints we’ve been seeing here about the masteries gating story progression, and with tomorrow’s patch we’ll be removing the Itzel Poison mastery gate from chapter 14 “Sign Cutting”. If you were already on this step, when you next log in, your story step should automatically advance as though you had earned the mastery. If you haven’t reached this point, you shouldn’t notice anything different (apart from the fact that you can progress the story faster). If you’ve already advanced past this point by earning the mastery, well there’s just no other way to say it: you’re a rock star, and you deserve an ice cold beverage and a toast from the story team at Arenanet! :-)

I don’t have an exact ETA on when this fix will go Live, but we just wanted to get the word out there ASAP so that if you’re currently on this step, you might want to wait as you will have the ability to bypass this gate sometime tomorrow.

We wanted to use mastery gating as a way to try and prepare you for the challenges ahead the deeper into the Maguuma that you went, but we realize that in this particular scenario, it ended up not being the experience we wanted for all of you and we wanted to correct it.

See you in the jungle!

THANK YOU!!!

Now just fix the Elite Spec gating and the game will be golden!!!

they need to have the elite spec have it’s own exp it gets….so when you get exp, it goes to ur current mastery and ur elite spec when you have it equipped so you can level it up as you go through the new content

Your elite spec should be maybe double the points of a regular spec line.

It doesn’t make sense that I’m going to play all of HoT and then some of the original with my Revenant before I’ll even be able to equip herald without gimping myself.

I want to enjoy my new elite spec while I’m playing through the new content. Should I get it pretty easily? Nah, but maybe halfway through the 2nd map, I should have my spec unlocked or be extremely close to unlocking it.

As it stands, I’m going to play through the story on my revenant, unlock Herald, and then shelve him for an alt to take through the story.

Story Episode “Buried Insight” breaks right as you power on the ‘asura gate’ and there is no further progress

my friend and I just experienced this as well in the exact same spot….we are trying again to see if we can push through

is the character who initiated the instance a sylvari for you guys?

2nd run yielded the same results in the same spot

Roy Cronacher.1576:

soooooooooooooon™

So the definition of soon™ is 3 days.

Good to know Roy :P

well Palawa Joko can’t happen because he’s still alive and well and I think you have to channel legends from the mists

my bet is on Rurik for next legend and will give Revenant GS

everybody is like “It’s only a 5% increase on your dps”

do people realize that there are 10 players in your raid group? If you all have ascended gear, that’s a 50% dps increase as a GROUP

Ascended Armor and trinkets are account bound, and lets face it….Zerker is always going to be good…so if you get bored of your Rev, then you can swap that gear to a warrior or guardian and play with them for a bit

so in this action camera….is left click bound to auto attack?

The one to Rule.2593:

whatever the highest dps rotation is going to be.

highest dps is sword afaik, and pushing 3 on cd, and use axe offhand for mobility with axe 4, then switching to hammer for ranged when you need it

Yeah, I still think Zerker is going to be the best for Revenant. Mostly because of the ferocity on top of almost getting to 100% crit chance.

A lot of people are missing how tanky you can be with the Retribution trait line. It feels like I’m wearing Valkyrie already when I equip that trait line alone

I agree with the OP, one of the things that I loved doing besides vanquishing hard mode zones, was doing hard mode missions in GW1.

There isn’t really anything like that in GW2, the personal story started adding a “hard mode” to them, but it’s nothing like the challenge that hard mode missions in GW1 were.

Here’s to hoping the the personal story and living world can give us some real challenges.

wow, this site is amazing, will be even better with the raid coming out!

Raids themselves are going to help you gear up.

I’m sure Ascended boxes are going to drop in raids and probably at a higher drop rate than open world PvE. Along with the ingredients to make legendary armor.

I feel like people are thinking this content is going to be so hard that people can’t beat it, but if it’s anything like Underworld and DoA from GW1, its not going to be so overly hard that you can’t beat it. It’s just that you are going to have to beat it a lot, to farm for your legendary gear, just like you had to for Primeval gear.

Is it more challenging than open world PvE? Sure.

I mean, pugs are getting the first boss down to 30-50% in exotic gear, not knowing the fight at all, and not used to the dedicated healer and tank meta. Once everyone knows the fight mechanics, pugs will be clearing it easily.

I am +1 for stat scaling in raids though. It doesn’t leave anyone out who doesn’t want to farm gear for stats. The core of the GW2 player base played GW1 which did not have a vertical progression at all, you bought max level gear from a vendor. You did the challenging content because there were awesome skins inside the content, or you just did it to say you beat it.

It also lets Arenanet more thoroughly balance raid fights because they don’t have to worry about if a fight is too hard for a full group of exotics or if it’s too easy for a full group of ascended. They can just make it as hard as they want it to be because everyone has the same stats regardless.

Why don’t they just put a piece of armor in each of the trait lines?

For Herald and Revenant both, I see retribution as a must have in PvP AND WvW….whenever I have that trait line active, I feel tanky even if I’m running zerker.

PvE, it’s not really a must have, but it might be good for raids and high fractals.

The ventari and Mallyx trait lines, I’m not big into healing and condition damage builds
