Guild Wars 2

Healers carry bad players.
/the end

Actually, there are many professions that can create support builds. It’s much more balanced than having a healer and more players prefer to play that way (evidenced by all the waiting everyone has to do for healers in other games).

You might be interested in this site, it has most of the armors except for the gem store or Living story items. Includes stats and acquisition information.

You can play around with a very limited set of dyes and see how they look on differnt races also

Tagus Eleuthera.7305:

I dunno.. I was attracted to GW2 because the devs just seemed to “get it”. Their manifesto was a refreshing change of attitude. Some people may feel like they didn’t live up to it, while others feel they did. Those things weren’t important to me…. what mattered is that they seemed to have the sincere goal of providing the most player-friendly mmo experience ever designed. People will debate their successes and failures for years, but what you can’t deny is that they are aiming for something uniquely exciting here. It might not be to everyone’s taste all the time, but when they hit their mark, its some of the best gaming ever designed.

Well said.

My gawd, that is a sexy finisher. Whoever designed that should get a raise.

Can’t wait to see the Dragon finisher.

Here’s a nifty tool that let’s you search through all the patch notes:

I am seeing on many posts that I upvoted it (the +1 is gray, not red) when I clearly did not, on posts that I would never upvote.

LOVE this encounter!

Now I’ve been fighting dragons since before it was cool to fight dragons, before their loot was upgraded, before there were timers for the spawns.

Many was the time when I would get a message from a friend…..
Friend: Fractal?
Me: no – Dragon!!!
Friend: lol

But I knew deep in my heart that my dragon hunting loving ways would pay off.

With 7 Tequatl the Sunless kills under my belt, the Sunbringer title over my head, and my mini Tequatl flying around me I feel like Mother of Dragons.

Good stuff

Seeing lots of information on fan sites about the incoming trial, but registration is not live yet on the official site. Do we have any word when this will be available?

It’s confirmed permanent.

Scarlet Invasions can get you ~20k karma if you hit up all the events.

But..but..I need them for my alts. Seriously, I can deck out an alt really fast with these, I love them <3

It’s a bit on the shortsighted side to think just because you find no use for something that others don’t need them as well.

So far I have loved every post launch dungeon they’ve added to the game, looking forward to this patch!

Welcome back. Yes, bigger and better than ever

Hmm, not on the wiki, not on Dulfy.

Got a screenshot for this?

Confirmed on twitter, spread the word!

Quality stuff, big thumbs up for Tequatl!

:)

I saw someone post that by using the splitter on an item that was “merged” with a skin results in the original item and a low quality item (blue? green?) with the skin.

You would then need to use a transmutation stone or crystal to apply the skin item to a new item.

First off, I love this encounter – it’s fun, challenging and amazing for bringing a community together on a voice comm, really some of the most fun content I’ve yet done in the game. A few tweaks to the camera would make the fight much more enjoyable for your dedicated dragonslayers

1) Zoom in on down – I understand the whole camera zooming in when you are downed, the immersive aspect, there you are up close and personal fighting for life. But if the camera would zoom OUT when you get back up, it wouldn’t feel quite so frantic as you’re scrambling to zoom out/heal/leap the next wave, etc., before you get downed again. I would prefer the frantic feeling to come from the battle, not from fighting with the camera.

2) Zoom in on proximity to interactive objects – between the jump pads and turrets, the playing field has a number of objects that trigger the zoom in camera function which again has to be manually scrolled out. An option to disable that zoom or have it so it does not trigger if you are not actually in the turret or on the jump pad would be a welcome feature.

3) Far Zoom all the way out for epic battle – if we could get something similar to the camera function at the Claw of Jormag event where you can see the entire field, it would give a more epic feel to this encounter as well.

Thank you for considering these suggestions and thank you again for this amazing encounter!

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Would you support the implementation of an account wide ignore feature? Now that we have the LFG tool, abuse and griefing will be worse than ever. Why waste time filing a report that will take days to be addressed, when instead, you can just right-click, ignore, and have the offender permanently blocked and prevented from grouping with you. Account wide, because if you annoy me enough to make me never want to group with you again on one character, I will never want to group with you on any other character.

The block feature is accountwide. You can right click their name and block, right click their portrait and block, type the character name or the account ID on your block list.

You will not be grouped with blocked players.

I adore my elementalist <3

Recently leveled a mesmer and finding it really fun as well, but I am more proficient at ele so I play my main more.

Got mine from the Mystic Forge. My friend got his from Twilight Arbor.

I just looked, didn’t even realize I had it!

Seems very intuitive at a glance, I’ll give it a whirl tomorrow.

Had this happen a couple times since the Teq patch on Tuesday.

Whenever I get more than one of the achievement “wobbly” chests, I can only open one and the other disappears.

I just completed the Sunbringer achievement, 2 chests popped up – the first one I opened was for the 8500 pts and the other chest disappeared.

Ahahahaha I saw that tidal wave once yesterday. Brilliant!

Thank you for this fight, ArenaNet! Was amazing fun.

And big props to SoR, you guys are the best!

Grats to Blackgate, well done!

AndrewMcLeod.3857:

Sorry about that- it was accidentally broken when we were working on some other things. We should have this fixed soon.

Aw, you guys are the best

Not a fan of the new animation, can we have it reverted please?

+1 Nerfs not necessary, we’ll figure it out

Astralporing.1957:

Well, that’s the point isn’kitten All the players are funneled into a small parts of the world. This gives an ilusion of a big population in those places, but leaves other places empty. Try to visit Snowden Drifts someday, for example.

Start a guild and name it Snowden Drifts Fan Club. You and you guildmates can hang out in Snowden all day and kill Svanir.

But I guarantee you everyone will be in Sparkfly Fen today. It will be overflows on top of overflows, chaining into overflowception! Tequatl is coming!!

Karizee.8076:

Are you kidding? There are players everywhere I go in this game.

Just this evening:

• WvW
• Shadow Behemoth
• Shatterer

Well, that’s the point isn’kitten All the players are funneled into a small parts of the world. This gives an ilusion of a big population in those places, but leaves other places empty. Try to visit Snowden Drifts someday, for example.

There will never be players spread across the land like so much peanut butter, not in this game, not in any other.

Whether through perceived or real differences in both difficulty and ease of access,
players will gravitate to the most efficient spots.

For instance, if every single mob in the game dropped the same level of loot, people would just walk outside Lion’s Arch and farm Fireflys in Gendarren Fields. If there is one more hill to go around or one more fence to hop, players will take the shorter, easier route.

Conversely, if there is a huge, screaming, gloriously evil boss shooting up from the swamp or a screeching dragon swooping down on a hillside, everyone in the area will converge to see the show, play with the other players and get a chance at some fat lootz. This is FUN. For some reason you think this is a bad thing, that players should stay spread out and not congregate at these big showy events. It’s as if you don’t understand the point of the game.

Just because there isn’t some player standing by some lonely tree in Timberline Falls waiting for you to come along and play with them doesn’t mean the game has an issue. There are millions of people playing this game, you can choose to play with them if you like, run with a buddy or two or join a guild.

Use gw2lfg.com for dungeon groups, no one uses map chat for that.

http://gw2lfg.com/

Seriously, almost 7 million dungeon groups have formed with that site in the few short months it’s been up. Takes less than 2 minutes usually to get a group for anything.

Are you kidding? There are players everywhere I go in this game.

Just this evening:

• WvW
• Shadow Behemoth
• Shatterer

But if you’re used to old school games you might be looking for quest hubs where players hang out. In GW2 it’s different since there are no quests, players go to events instead.

If you are looking for today’s livestream on the new LFG tool, that was postponed. Otherwise just hit the Video button on top of the chat box to see videos of previous livestreams.

I plan on doing Tequatl every day until I get the Tequatl mini.

Every.
Day.

Duke.4795:

Superior Rune of Speed doesn’t seem to work (6 piece bonus)

You understand that other effects that provide a bonus to movement speed (e.g. certain traits and signets) do not stack with swiftness; only the highest increase in movement speed will be applied?

182 runes in the game, think you can narrow it down to what particular rune has a bug and what it’s doing (or not doing) that it’s supposed to?

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/

Nope, don’t miss it one bit.

Combat feels much more fun and immersive without it. I like the hybrid nature of GW2’s professions and I love that parties form instantly.

$100

I purchase a small amount of gems whenever 1) they do something cool with the game and I want to show my support and 2) it fits in my budget.

I haven’t ever felt the need to buy gems since I can get everything I want with ingame gold.

I really like this payment model

Baoz.4735:

just salvage the extra gear.

Make sure to use a PvP salvage kit. You can use those mats to make more PvP skins.

Myst Dawnbringer.9138:

The problem is the crafting mats in the chest everyone needs and the high volume times everyone want to play. They tied Dragonite ore to Event Boss Chests and Empyreal Fragments to Splendid Chests and jumping puzzles. So the boss event starts in Frostgorge and players go for the ore not the chest. But keep in mind that now pretty much 24/7 you have a huge group of players zerging champs. Which is fine but those players probably count to how many can be in the area especially since they usually do the troll very near Claw.

The best solution would be to do a 10 minute window for the Event like the Scarlet Invasions. Give us an in game timer to plan our gameplay so we could decide what events we want to do. We click a tab and can look at the event schedule for the next 4-6 hours and see Claw is in 20 minutes. So in 20 minutes we have 10 minutes to get to Frostgorge or an overflow to do the event. That’s fair for everyone.

I know that’s what they will be doing with the new Tequatl, spawning the event in overflows for the first 10 minutes just like the clockwork events. Not sure about other world bosses.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/tequatl/Will-Tequatl-maintain-the-2-h-spawn-timer/first#post2820645

I think the reason EB JP gets less action has to do more with siege being super cheap and plentiful everywhere else now.

Putting the port in LA is an interesting idea though. Not sure how that could work between 3 servers.

MoS.5970:

One of the greatest posts on the forums

I agree, well done OP.

They’ve done an amazing amount of work to the core game since launch and are releasing new content every 2 weeks.
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/

Activity-wise, it’s kinda insane how there are more and more players every day.

Doon.2364:

I think they should slow down the animation of the flaming twirl that wraps around you when you wield the incinerator. That’s is the best part about the incinerator but you could barely see the effect before it vanishes. When the animation is slowed down dramatically, it really stand out. Watch this video to see what I mean:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN-imkQMcKw

I would also love for the flaming twirl to constantly appear around you when ur character is standing idle. That would be a great addition. I rather have that than bigger footprints.

I would like the flaming twirl effect when I have it equipped off-hand <3

Have you seen some of the creatures that inhabit the waters of Tyria?
I think they would go fishing for ME! :o

JustTrogdor.7892:

Somehow when I’m standing around those mobs that are also standing around decide not to stand around and give me the gift of armor repairs.

Rofl!

I know the feeling. “Hmmm, this seems like a nice, peaceful outpost I can afk at for a few minutes……”
