No birthday gift at 12 months

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Katreyn.4218

I guess I’ll chime in as well. 12 months on my main today (no alts have existed that long) and nothing.

I assumed it was just mail waves, but its been quite a while since they started coming out.

I guess they could still be backed up. Just wonder what constitutes what wave you are in (I created as soon as game launched headstart, probably the same as a large majority :P). I always seem to be very last on a lot of the items they mail out. Do they go by last name or something? xD

Only 3 birthday presents per account?

I’m guessing the presents go out in waves like other mails. Haven’t received mine yet either even though I made like right at start of headstart. :P

I’ll check alts though, but none have existed long enough to get a present I think.

Deluxe Edition vs Heroic Edition

I dunno, I don’t really care. Its common for them to change items as time progresses. And it’ll be a year now so they have to offer something a little different I suppose.

edit: Nvm, noticed they are still selling the Deluxe too? Was confused because it made it sound like this was taking Deluxe’s place, which is not the case.

The only ones I really like are the Zojja and Black Moa. Everything else is just miniaturized enemy npcs, something I wasn’t fond of in the first pack (but it wasn’t half the pack then).

And still no mini earth elemental to finish my elemental collection. lol

The real problem with scarlet and asura

in Clockwork Chaos

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I totally understand where the writer is coming from. I found it very strange that they allowed a outsider into their colleges. Just from what we knew about the colleges it didn’t seem likely. And just to make a character out of no where seem to outclass the Asura’s that pride themselves on intelligence is strange too. I would think the Asura wouldn’t dare accept another race if they were smarter then them. :x But I am no expert on Asura lore.

But at the same time they needed some way to quickly identify to the player that hey this lady is super smart, and knows a lot about the sciences, etc. And that was one way to do it. Since the player is very aware of the colleges.

Only thing I can take from it is that I have the choice to believe that Scarlet’s “story” isn’t entirely canon or whatever. Though yes Aetherblades seem to be here to stay for the time being and she is still alive, so we will see her again.

So we'll be able to buy the Molten Pick now?

Well they have said they’ll be offering infinite items in the sale starting Friday. If the actual items they are selling are the ones we’ve seen in the past (Molten Pick) that is yet to be seen.

I’d say the chance is high it’ll be the existing ones. Seems a little quick to offer reskinned ones, but who knows. :P

I loved Scarlet's Playhouse ^_^

in Clockwork Chaos

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I liked the Scarlet fight(s) just because they are one of the few I’ve encountered in game that doesn’t use the invincibility mechanic outside of common video game sense. Not saying Liadri fight wasn’t good too, just that I felt the fights for Scarlet played out a lot smoother (whether it was lack of timer, or just better visibility).

The ability to pretty much avoid all the trash was a little odd, even if soloable (I totally understand the need for ‘some’ trash for atmosphere, but it seemed a little vacant even so; granted shes throwing hundreds of her minions at people in the open world :P). Might as well had been no trash, because other then the first little bit with Faren I didn’t fight anything other then Scarlet.

I enjoyed the Playhouse though. I will agree that it did kind of seem like a GW1 mission almost (I Just wish Rox and Braham actually helped; seems a little disappointing since they want to be heroes/fight).

Viable Ranged Classes?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

Ele staff takes some practice and getting used to in PvE. Prediction monster movements and using all the attunements at hand takes some practice if you aren’t used to it.

Rangers aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but they do have some sore spots that need to be addressed. But are still very viable if you are looking for a well rounded ranged character.

Greatsword/Staff Mesmer is a fun build. A common build now is to go shatter Mesmer with those weapon choices (shatter clones for more damage). I feel Staff and Greatsword offer quite a bit for a ranged character (greatsword has the ability to push enemies back) and Staff offers typical some good AoE attacks (not so much like Ele, the auto attack hits up to 3 enemies, and the Chaos Storm and Chaos Armor are nice buffs. Its definitely something to look into, even if a bit to learn. The other weapons available make for interesting choices as well if interested.

Honestly I feel almost every class has a decent ability to be “ranged” except Guardians imo (Staff isn’t so bad, but their general Scepter/Staff attack speed leaves much to be desired compared to other classes). I’ve seen many Longbow/Rifle Warriors, and Shortbow thieves in my time playing as well.

I’d say keep trying out things, even if they seem out of the norm. :P

Whats with the GreatSword?

I think its really just a minority that are purposely pulling them to the center. Most people probably accidentally aggro them (this is especially easy if the centaur event is going on considering the close proximity to the charr are entrance and the entrance to the centaur area) and then it gets eventually in the center.

Anyways, I was quite surprised it still has not been fixed yet despite the patches we’ve seen so far. Maybe this week it might get fixed.

Spamming scepter Air 2 attack was the only way I could do it. I think scepter is really the only way to get non-aoe attacks as an Ele.

If you need more damage output for the scepter just respec to fresh air and that blob will die rather quickly.

I’m still waiting for a offhand Fan focus (or just fan in general). :x

Magic orbs would be cool too, provided they are actually animated in a floaty way (D3 did this well on the mage, with the orb being stationary out of combat and in combat was floaty and moved when you attacked; Aion also did something similar if I recall correctly.) rather then just something you hold on a stick in your hand.

I’d just love to use something that feels a bit more..mesmerish or mage-y outside of “wands” and Staves.

Heck even if they used the animation from the elite book spell for Guardian and made that into a two-handed weapon that would be pretty awesome. I always wish I could do something like that on my Ele (hinthint new elite skill plz lol).

Other then the usual items like other types of ranged weapons and melee weapons I can’t think of anything else that really stands out to me.

Will Existing Trial Accts be Active

I’ve been wondering this too. But I assume more then likely it won’t happen considering I think we’d need to give them a code (like when we sent out codes to friends from our account).

I have some friends who I sent codes to before and they set the accounts up but never played on the weekends. 2 1/2 days is really hard to get them pumped up for to try because they feel its too short a trial.

World Exploration: Achievement or Chore?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I will agree with most people saying once wasn’t so bad. I do complete maps on my alts, but I’ll never finish world completion on them again unless I ultimately have to for some reason (general pve map completion isn’t boring to me, but its not hard at all either when you know what to do everywhere). The WvW part just took a very long time more then anything. That and all the bugged skill points in Orr back in the day.

I wouldn’t call it a chore compared to doing like weapon master achievements. Especially for off-hands. Have fun farming critters somewhere. >.<

I really enjoyed SAB. As it offered a different difficulty for lack of a better word. Sure it was a glorified jumping puzzle and it required using items instead of your skills but it was a learning experience.

I didn’t really farm it but I completed all the achievements. Some taking a lot of effort for me. But I really enjoyed I could solo it or run it with friends it didn’t matter. But soloing it made the achievement running a lot easier, since you could go at your own pace.

But from remembering the hub loading screen thing. It looked like there would be an underwater world. ._. I am loathing that so hard as those were always a disaster for me back in the day. So I am in no rush for it to come back. :x Of course, I’ll enjoy it when it gets here.

Rather Display Luck Reward or Skill Reward?

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

In terms of minis I really don’t have a preference. I use what I like. For example, the Griffon plushie or the hippo I got in the gem store. Neither are exactly rare. But I get a lot of comments on my shiny hippo. I just tell them hes been rolling around in all that butter in my bank. :x

In terms of titles, I think its more of effort I put in rather then skill. I don’t necessarily feel like Dungeon Master took so much skill per say, as just time and effort with others. But something like Omnomnivore its just a fun title and still took some time.

Weapon skins I’ve really only had the “luck” to get one jade coupon of all the events so far. But I ended up having to use it on a alt that has become my pack mule. So I can’t say I really care about showing it off. :x I still felt lucky when I got it, but was kind of disappointed I couldn’t get anything that matched my main. :P

Personally I still use the tier 3 cultural Sylvari staff, because its the only thing that I feel fits, aside from maybe the Walking Stick from HoM. Neither are exactly rare (even though I never see anyone using Sylvari weapons on my server – have had some comments on it though). So in the end its more about what I enjoy over how I got it.

When you first get something from skill or effort you do feel excited about it for a bit and want to show it off. Thats to be expected. But the feeling wears away.

To Complete Jubilee Meta? Dailies?

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I will probably get monkey stomped for this, but I’m stuck at 15 of 16 Queen’s Jubilee Completionist.. I tried doing the regular daily ones got 5/5 but that didnt move me to 16.. What dailies are reset that you can do over? I did the balloon ones over again and even ones that I didnt do the first time and still nothing.. What am I doing wrong?

There is a different daily for the Jubilee every day. For example, today’s is to win a fight in the Queen’s Gauntlet.

It sounds like you were just doing activities that gave you credit before and may not of been doing ones that you need to do that day. The dailies that give credit have a little star emblem on them that matches the jubilee achievements in the Living Story tab. You shouldn’t have to complete the daily 5/5 achievement to get the credit for Jubilee meta.

Hope that helps.

I recently used the level 20 experience scroll on a new alt that I got from the achievement box. Can say it feels about as bleh as I expected. I would of rathered play through the beginning zone, since I pretty much had to anyways to get gear decent enough gear to survive in the second zone. Of course I could of made some level 20ish gear for her, but I found that level 20 was a weird spot in crafting gear as well. :/

I would much rather prefer just a 10 or so level scroll or even less. 20 free levels anywhere almost seems a bit extreme. But you can pretty much do that in 15 minutes of crafting so I guess that point is moot too. lol.

Maybe they do just want people to constantly make alts or assume we don’t have alts for everything yet. But I guess its a nice gesture either way, but sadly they will be wasted away in my bank now. :/

Don’t feel bad, I’m also a MS sufferer and struggle at some areas of this game (actually I am very good at jumping puzzles). But overall this game has really helped my side effects so I can’t say this game is terrible for me. My doctor has praised how much my ability has gone up in the past year. Even though I’ve always played video games.

Sometimes you got to accept that they won’t always make things that we can do so well in games.. But I think we can still beat Liadri, just takes some effort, probably more then most people. Don’t give up though, if you really want it.

Good luck if you continue trying.

Watchwork Sprockets best use?

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I’m holding on to them to see if the next installment of the event may have a better use for them. But right now they are a very common drop, especially if you are spending any time in the Pavilion/Gauntlet so if you do want anything out of them might be better to sell now if you fear the price is going to continue to go down.

As far as anything from the vendors, I can’t say any of it is worth it unless you want to collect the recipes but even then I don’t think the return is there with the superior recipes gold cost (Personally I bought like two). I haven’t seen any luck with the profession boxes, and the tier 3 racial skins are cheaper to buy with karma imo. Sovereign skins obviously being only available there though.

Why do you play?

Katreyn.4218

I honestly really enjoy playing my character (mostly main which is Ele, but some alts get attention every now and then) and I have fun with that. I like the playstyle and the “action” combat even if its not perfect. Not to mention the artstyle and everything is very pleasing to me. I can’t think of an MMO that has looked better to me. Spending some time everyday in Tyria is just a nice experience so I keep coming back. :P

Also I love that I can do so much solo that you can’t do in a lot of other MMOs, I don’t have to worry about friends being on to do quests or events, chances are I can find people already on the map,etc to do stuff with without having to join a group necessarily.

Overall I’m a real sucker for holiday events and things so the Living Story is quite enjoyable to have so often. But I will admit it can be overwhelming since there is literally no breaks for a couple of months for a breather that you would normally get.

Can’t seem to get past Chomper and Struger. But I am happy with how far I got. I’ve seen quite a few people fight Liadri and they make it look easy. lol.

I do enjoy the gauntlet though. But it definitely has some issues.

Sylvari portrait/face change?

in Sylvari

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

I felt that my Sylvari’s face changed a bit too. Though I don’t think it actually has.

There was an effects change with the latest patch and that definitely messed with the general lighting in the game. And makes a lot of things look different now. For instance the tier 3 cultural armor looks like cloth instead of that waxy leaf look (at least on the lower part). Mostly just noticed its freaking bright in a lot of places now which makes my Sylvari look a little funny since her skin tone was based around the general lighting in the game. Could just be the fuzzy effects now.

My sylvari Thief, my new main (R.I.P. Elementalist)

Probably original for a thief, but I don’t really like the gownish style… colours are also an odd choice for a thief.

Here’s my necro, in two versions. The former one, with purple and abyss, and the newer one, with the cheap glowy gloves (to replace the CoF carrion ones) and all in abyss.

I always like peoples Necro designs. xD Of course its obvious it reminds me of Maleficent (that helm :x). But I really like the color scheme and combination of the Arah armor. It’s nice to see something that isn’t all black/red.

Also you are good at screenshots. xD The first one is really nice with the locust swarm. (10/10)

My typical Sylvari Elementalist. Nothing too special with the tier 3 cultural and my love of green. The new lighting in game makes the armor look really weird though (the leaves on the bottom half can look almost like cloth now O.o). But it did get rid of that weird rubber look that you get in some zones. But in general game seems super bright in some places (or I been spending too much time in Crown Pavilion lol). This screenshot is from before patch and not very artsy. Not so good at them.

Hope one day we see a good naturey staff, been with the same getup since October. lol

Mediocre player loves the Gauntlet

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Katreyn.4218

Katreyn.4218

Honestly I know how you feel. I’m not sure if I could call myself mediocre. I dunno, I don’t really try to rate myself.

But I have gotten to tier 3 easily. Tier 3 gives me issues as an Elementalist only because of the achievements wise. I enjoy the challenge and I know I can beat the bosses up to Liarl but I’m not precise enough to get the achievements (right now or with my build/gear) and I feel good with what I have done.

If I don’t touch the gauntlet again this time around I will feel content with it. I enjoyed the challenge and the bosses and just something new that let me test myself. It was fun to figure out.

" When I beat one of the bosses I know it’s me who succeeded. I got it right – my build and my plan worked." – Exactly how I feel. Glad to see like-minded people taking the event in stride.

They are random events to unlock the balloon towers. Getting them to occur/being the champion you need is entirely random. You can pretty much wait at a tower or couple of towers and complete events till it spawns. Especially if you see the champion you need on the map/vicinity of that tower.

I quite enjoy it. I’m just super glad to finally have an event that isn’t home to Lion’s Arch. Its a nice change. And the general area is quite pretty. I really haven’t spent much time in DR other then the general exploring in Betas and at launch so I almost forgot how pretty the place is.

The guantlet is fun even though I haven’t bothered to get past tier 2. Working on the gambit achievements can be quite a pain for me. :P

But I really do enjoy the group events down below. Even with the nerf the rewards are well worth the time and effort. Quite fun to see everyone together enjoying themselves in a giant zerg. :P Kind of like the old Orr days (with more dying from people not paying attention, but its not a big issue).

I personally like the bosses, they aren’t too easy or hard. Some aren’t so hard (ie. boom boom), but their general AoE skills always take out quite a few unsuspecting. The first day and the centaur boss was pretty hilarious. :x So much death.

Theres a fire guy (uses a rifle), lightning guy, stone shield guy, a lady with a two-hander, and a hammer dude. Those are all the types I encountered.

I had the best bet if I stuck around a tower if it was open when I got there, or I just finished a escort (sadly the escorts can take a super long time). In general the events seem to start up pretty quickly after they finish (within a minute or two it seemed to me). Bloodtide coast gave me a lot of champ spawns I didn’t need if you want a area to scout out.

Un-equipping and re-equipping the broken piece of armor seems to help. Some people have said it takes a while to register though (30+ tries for some).

Personally nothing worked for a lot of my characters. Literally tried everything for months. Only yesterday I was messing around on a alt I rarely played and got broken equipment in a story instance. While the hint didn’t trigger immediately after I re-equipped the first time it worked finally.

Dunno why it decided to register then as opposed to the multiple times I’ve gotten broken equipment since launch. :/

I main a Elementalist (had Ele/Monk in Gw1). I have always been very prone to healer classes in MMOs/RPGs, with mage classes being the second most common for me. Over my time in MMOs, it definitely seems to be a woman thing to want to be a healer. :P Of course I’ve known many male healers as well.

Though my second favorite class has been a Guardian lately. And I usually hate warrior type/melee. So Guardian is an interesting mix that I can get into. Its quite fun.

I am NOT a Hero

“As a structure, the MMO has lost the ability to make the player feel like a Hero. Everybody around you is doing the same thing you’re doing. The boss you just killed respawns 10 minutes later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”

This is true.

Of course GW1 did do pretty good at it. Mostly because it still barred on the single-player RPG aspect. Or at least a group of heroes overcome a great foe aspect.

Can’t say in a long time I felt that I was actually a “hero” in an MMO. Mostly just a person trying to protect the people if anything. But not really some huge god-slaying hero. Not to say you don’t have a purpose, you are usually the “second-hand” man of the main heroes written into the game; just as everyone else that is playing (I think in reality we have to forget thinking that all these people we play with are sharing our role in the story, if we want to feel important).

Because she is made to be this “perfect” character I expect she may have some skeletons in her closet, or more so some serious problems that will come back to haunt her (not so much her past per say in the short story).

Thats kind of why I hope she wins, cause I’d like to see that flawless demeanor come to an end.

Evon at least seems like we already know where all that will go. But who knows…I’m not really leaning too much for either side really.

You can do the PvP ones just hanging out in the Mists area and doing that tutorial. If you don’t mind doing that.

Theres only 3 I know of.

The one that attacks Nageling in Diessa Plateau every 30 minutes (hes the easiest to come by, swear hes always attacking).

And then theres one in Harathi that is part of some chain too. Never seen this one myself.

Maybe one day they’ll add risen giants to the list of countable giants. I’m just assuming in the future we may have more giants in content, maybe not.

I have to admit that trailers shows a lot more about GW2 then the one you linked (the time is now one). Of course we have had a lot of stuff added since launch and also had all the videos during beta.

Either way this one feels really good put together and you see a ton of stuff that better explains the game imo.

Sun is pretty annoying to go up against. That aoe pull, I’ve seen some master the art of putting it in the abyss beside jumps/bridges and pulling you off to your death. :S

Personally I tried Air for a while. But other then the immunity I felt its was pretty subpar. Seemed like the only way I could defend myself is if I was lucky and knocked a person off the edge with the knockbacks. Could of just been me not getting into it. The immunity is annoying to go up against though. That is for sure. I died more to this dude spamming the Sun warp/black hole pull skill then any air person managing to knock me off though.

Personally I preferred Lightning after a while. The stun shield saved my crystal-carrying butt a lot..not to mention the tower shortcuts. Lightning jump isn’t too great if people are smart and put up a lightning wall so you can’t jump over them. But if they don’t it can be handy.

I ask the same question. It seems oddly complex and confusing. It should at least tell you what tier you are going to be starting on if anything instead of waiting for the event to start.

Took a bajillion restarts to finally get tier 2 on Evon’s after doing it on Kiel. It kept giving me 3 or 1 or 4. >.< I finally just fought through the first 1 and got 2. Not to mention after I did tier 1 &2 for Kiel and went to Evon’s it started me on Tier 3. >.<

Is this a Mist Walker thing?

Maybe he ran into a pickpocket mine. Pretty sure those do some damage to you as well as the knockback/item drop.

I got some torment debuff once or twice, but I didn’t see any way to apply that via ghost so not sure where it came from. I was literally alone by myself when I got it too.
