Guild Wars 2

I tried everything suggested:

-changed port (80, etc)
-changed DNS adress,
-reboot of my internet,
-deactivate antivirus/firewall,
etc etc

I can still use everything else not guild wars 2 related. I guess something is blocking the domain but it seems I can’t do anything about it.

Same issues, have to change vpn in order to play. Can use the forum but not the main page nor being logged without another vpn.

I had this issue a few months but now it’s coming back and I can’t play at all. Sometimes I can log in but then after 10-15 minutes I dc and can’t be logged.

OP, sounds like you might have melee assist turned on. If you turn it off, do you still have that problem?

This is the answer. Deactivate this option.

You need organized map in order to kill it properly.

I have all of them since I collect them.

You don’t have all of them.

I appreciate the video, and the effort (took probably a few hours) but then I’ve seen this video :

And this :

Then you still playing.

Made me laugh a bit.

The videos are still up-to-date and a realistic evaluation.
And of course there is humor behind them…who would have thought that? Amazing!

It’s mostly unnecessary drama tho.

EphemeralWallaby.7643:

I see elite skills as skills you activate only occasionally, hence why they’re so powerful. For me most of them are my ‘oh-kitten’ button; a skill not needed for most combat.

Are you serious? Most elites are crap compared to some utility skills.

Look at Eles(+tempest) elites for example.

EGS elite and rebound are usefull. Tornado is usefull in spvp. Don’t know where you come from.

Linken.6345:

well we only had one expansion I would call this a update or addition mate

You still need the expansion in order to play it.

It has been revealed since a while
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-Legendary-Shield-Shooshadoo/first

There is a story mode with the new raids in FFXIV and there is still complains about inaccessible rewards from normal raids.

The problem is not the game it’s the players. You have the tool to see the story such as youtube. You can even do the Escort (easiest raid content, probably easier than some fractals) and speak to glenna to understand everything.

2nd issue is, it’s additional work and I don’t like it. I prefer to see new content than same content over and over.

This is why I disagree with the idea.

The real issue anyway it’s the accessibility of the raids, but it’s already known by the devs, and it’s something built by the players. (exagerated requirements, etc)

Linken.6345:

Noone here remember how the fire elemental in metrica province used to burn zergs to death before it got nerfed into oblivion?

^this

Tequatl don’t even use his wall anymore, but it was the thing that made the fight harder and more pressure on turrets. This is because there is too much damage that he doesn’t have the time to use it anymore.

Asa.3602:

I like the new fractal, it’s challenging without becoming annoying. But I have something to say about the length these fractals are becoming. Less rooms inside the fractal please, 2-3 rooms max not 5. 30min just for 1 fractal is really too time consuming.

It’s the endgame fractal, what did you expect? The length is fine.

This fractal is inspired by one of the best living world season 1 part of gw2. And this fractal merge nostalgia and new things with ease. Well done.

Please more of LS1 best part, such as marionette and scarlett fight (with her personal OST in each phases, ofc).

The only thing usefull on this video is the burst damage phase. The rest is totally useless because you can’t do that during a raid due to buff limitation & some encounters.

It’s like qt using fresh air staff during encounters, they don’t even use FGS that much nor they use the perfect rotation from the golem.

@Rising Dusk, I think your issue is the fact that you have to be faster with your skills. First time I tested the rotation I was around 43k then it was better and pretty similar.
Oh and you can activate the option where your aoe are automatically perfectly on the target, for even more dps, because you lose micro second using your mouse. (dont use it during raid ofc)

It’s usefull for testing your rapidity tho.

DrummerX.8549:

This has been an ongoing thing since the last major update to fractals. The damage output from adds (non boss mobs) do more damage than a Boss does.

This one wolf wiped our whole team as we were running up some stairs. I do have 153 Agony and usually run full zerk armor and trinks.

Why is an add that runs around the map one shoting anyone that doesn’t wear toughness gear while a Boss takes 3-4 hits to down anyone.

These wolfs is one of the mechanics of this fractal level (thaumanova I guess) and can be easily avoided. But since all players rush it like kitten they don’t even notice simple mechanic like this and prefer to lose even more time tryingto kill/killing them.

Just don’t aggro them next time. They just circling around from the same pattern.

I personally think this shield is original and sweet. Even if I don’t use shield that much I’ll probably make it because the concept is cool. /OP

it seems to be 1 legendary per new maps. Since we get a new ice themed map, the shield is probably from this one.

You should rename your thread “How to kill Guild Wars 2”.

No thanks. 0/10

Actually, when I toggle on/off the shoulders there is a thunderbolt spawning bats, but no tonic bat thunderbolt effect when the bats are around the character.

Hello,

From the bat tonic there is a thunderbolt in addition to the bats (look at the screenshot below)

Is it possible to add this effect to the nightfury shoulders?

Hello,

I have a request for a new mode called “Boss Challenge”. This mod is about fight with some of the boss from Living story season 1, 2 and 3 with at least 5 players. (for example : Scarlett, Toxic hybrid, ascalon’s statue, dragons, etc)

It’s like a dungeon but you have to fight directly a boss in a room, no trash mob. The boss is a bit harder and maybe have more mechanics contrary to when we fight them during the living story.

The reward system can be similar to the fractals of the mists (daily where you have to do 3 random boss room per day in order to get chests rewards) with maybe the return of some weapons/minis wich were exclusive at some boss encounter (Scarlet’s kiss, hybrid mini, etc) and new achievements of course.

Maybe Anet can use the special key feature so that when you enter amber you just have to use special key in order to use harpoon instead of picking it.
Same thing for bombs, when you are around barrils, you automatically pick a bomb and you have to use special key to use it. This will solve issues with trolls

Edit: Apparently someone else has already given the idea at reedit.

K A O S Theory.6825:

Might as well throw in that I know numerous people were able to get accounts back with little to no info at all for a long time now, at this point you can just tell support to give you this account email back and they will do it.

This is the best first hand example i have, everything is verbatim from the email except for info being taken out (this account was perma banned as well as had a forgotten password):

Hello, I wanted to try and get out some nostalgia out playing guild wars, but I’m having trouble logging into my account, is there any way you can help me out? Thanks

Hello *******,

Thank you for contacting Guild Wars 2. I am sorry you are having issues with your account.
I have verified your information, unblocked your account, and sent a password reset to your email. If you have any other problems please feel free to contact me. Have a good night.

I can see this takes some pretty hardcore “social engineering”.

It’s obvious you asked for a reset with the same mail than the account. There is absolutely no need for them to ask more informations since you already have everything you need : the e-mail attached to the account.

However, it wasn’t exactly the case if you asked your account back with another e-mail that doesn’t match with it. And the issue is the fact that it’s apparently easy to steal an account using a new e-mail adress.

Ballistic.2570:

Pros:
Sets you apart (PvE)
let’s people know you’re good (WvW), adds to the prestige of the guild while zerging.

These pros are wrong to be honest. A lot of players have this legendary and a legendary doesn’t have the power to make someone good and skilled, regardless the gamemode. Only your brain can.

You don’t need any skill in order to make a legendary. It wasn’t true for the new ones but since the nerf it’s not even the case anymore.

Even if I don’t use any portals stones, +1.

All QoL ideas are good ideas. No need to argue more.

+1, good idea.

I see this title : “Raiders Vs Casuals”

First, this is not a fight, it’s your own decision to make it like a fight and it’s totally dumb.

Second, I’m casual AND raider too. Your whole argument is not valid. Raid are doable for casuals. I am the proof.
PvP high ranked is even worst than raiding and it’s still casual in its essence.

Raids are easy enough they don’t need any nerfs. Raids don’t need to be nerf even after a new raids since the stuff you get is only cosmetic.

The only issue I can see it’s not the difficulty of raiding, but the accessibility that can be sometimes hard because of some bad mentality and toxicity.
Ignore silly requirement and create your own party/guild for raiding. You’ll see after that you’re wrong and raids are 100% fun.

The story around the raid can be seen in video or somewhere in the internet. I can say it’s not worth it anyway. The fun part is not the story it’s the mechanics and the boss. I’m 100% sure your complain is about the content you can’t do for whatever reason and story is just a false key to open a false argument.

I’m 100% sure people that complain about raids never tried said raids or don’t care about making some efforts in order to do them. It’s sad that Anet will probably do something about these people that just want something they can’t have just because of their laziness.

Yeah I know you have a family and don’t have time to do it, then if you don’t have time to do raid in GW2, I don’t think you’ll have time to do anything in this game to be honest. The only hard part in raids is learning, but after this it’s doable in 20-30 minutes for a wing, and only 10 minutes for a raid boss.
But ofc you are lazy so you don’t have time to learn something fun. People these days want their shiny doing nothing anyway.

As I said, I’m casual, I don’t play that much and I’m mostly afk when in game. I have a life like everyone else and still learning Wing 2.
I did whole wing 1 in less than three weeks with pugs, and the escort from wing 3 and some training runs with a raid guild. If you want to see raid lore or such things, it’s doable as a casual player, but you will get nothing if you are lazy.

Just my opinion, maybe it’s rude for you but I think if you do some efforts it would be worth it.

I had some experiences from others mmo like Raids in FFXIV and it wasn’t fun (savage mode), but in GW2 it’s fun, because the difficulty is fine and you don’t need months in order to down a boss.

There are really a lot of players doing raids so I don’t know why people think raids are just for a few people. Ofc it’s probably a minority but I think it’s still a lot as a whole.

PopeUrban.2578:

• If you go down, it is not the party’s fault. It is your fault. Act like it. You make mistakes like everyone else.

Sometimes this fact is not true.

If somebody use Retaliation at the wrong time, adds/boss can just steal it and you’ll die miserably because someone wanted to use it for no reason/don’t know singularity mechanics.

If you play ele with channeling skills you can’t remove, you probably know this feel.

ironfrodo.7625:

7) Don’t enter as Necromancer or Revenant

My solo Mai Trin scale 100 as condi necromancer say hello gracefully to you.

I dunno if it’s possible, but instead of removing water, maybe they can make same custom water skills exclusive to this map for everyone, like Dragon ball event but only when players are in the water area. Can be a shark transformation for example with some exclusives skills.

Problem solved.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

yes, please!

they can easily remove the water from it and it will still be a fun map !

but the water was fun :c people just don’t like map complexity/strategy…. Just see the BETA state of some maps…

^this map. Please anet :c

Hello,

I really missed this map in PvP. The canons, strategies, angry sharks, water furtivity, beach fights… was really nice in this map. Please, dear anet, bring it back.

I know that some players don’t like the water mechanic, but you know that in this map it wasn’t all about water…

Just don’t allow this map in PvP ranked or whatever if you want, but please, let us make some cool match in this nostalgic map.

Instruments seems to works well after patch. Thanks.
But now please, it’s possible to do more instruments in the game? Such as violin or (and) piano? :P

I love how people seems to “help” you saying you have to use weapons/race that you probably don’t want to use.
It’s like : “Just play like this, your idea is bad since there are already some awful features in game you can use to know what you want. Your idea will never happen anyway.”

Okay, but you know if I just want to play a char and use another weapon, I’ll probably just don’t care?

I personally think the day/night icon cycle is a good idea. Can be implemented around the mini map like FFXIV for example.
Since some mechanics are day/night cycle related, it would be a nice QoL addition like you said. And with such feature, the game can have more things related to it and can consider it as a game mechanic that can handle new events.

Jaffa.1845:

I only like one change in to the musical instruments; The floating notes that come out of the character as you play. Other than that, it has screwed up all forms of playing music.

I myself as a member of [MGT] Musician’s Guild of Tyria am appalled at the instrument changes. We loved the old system and could play just fine with it, but now, with the weird octave changes that don’t even work. Chord’s are now just a mash of notes. Very plain and simple songs are still playable, but that’s no fun or entertaining.

I think I stand for the entire music community on this:

Please Remove Note Cooldowns. They are unneeded and limit musical performance by players. Bring back the old octave switching, this new version makes a large majority of songs unplayable. But do keep the Music Note Floater animations, as they are the perfect addition to the instruments.

P.S. The Lute is very quiet and horn/flute are not in the same tone as the harp and other instruments. Fixes for these would be much appreciated by all.

I hope these issues can be resolved soon,

Jaffa [MGT]

Did you read Cody Crichton’s answer? I guess not. He said the issue will be fixed since the octave change has bad ping.

Cody Crichton.7516:

Khyan.7039:

The instrument changes is awful.

WIth the flut, if you use a note, you can’t use the same note anymore, even after changing octave. So all is going wrong with music. I still like the fact that the animation doesn’t disapear anymore during long song.

I found and fixed the bug causing problems specific to the flute instrument, now awaiting regression testing before the fix makes its way to you.

Thank you.

At least one of my custom song sounds better with the changes. But well, it’s not supposed to be like this. And I don’t even use macros.

With the harp it’s really, really bad. If you swap octaves too fast your song will just sound like trash.

Please bring back old function it’s just not playable.

Two people have above 200k golds and they don’t make a thread for it.

Leon de Damasco.8105:

Maybe your friend is lying you about the ban and wasn’t. Maybe your friend is lying you about the why was banned and is not just been afk but using a 3rd part program. Maybe…
Each case is particular.
Hope they marge this, about 3 treads about this (resolved and answered by ANet) thing and 2 in the first page atm.

Nope. Got proof with the advert & mail on my guild facebook page. I can’t share it here since it’s not allowed. The ban was more like a warning.

Anyway, if you use a 3rd party program it’s not a few hours but 6 months of ban.

Just for pointed out, a friend has been banned for a few hours. The reason was afk farming, as a necro with pets, during hours.

I don’t think it’s allowed then.

If you have a auramancer healer with earth/water/tempest branch, you can do it easily.

Auras gives you 40% damage reduction & heal for the whole team. Then you can use Aftershock! and earth skill 4 with warhorn + F4 to reflect damage during elemental phases.

This Auramancer build is not damage oriented even if you can do still “fine” switching to lightning. But you can still switch to staff and fire/lightning/tempest damage build whenever you want if a healer is not needed. I play this build during high level frac when I don’t see any healer or if the team need one.

Orion Templar.4589:

I may give Nevermore a shot later after I cool down from having gone through Juggernaut. In hindsight I think I could have bought the precursor from the TP for less gold than it took to craft it (at least it feels that way). So much of phase 1 and 2 of the journey involved just getting or buying materials. That portion at least didn’t feel very legendary. When I’d move on to another step in the collection I remember thinking a couple time (somewhat sarcastically) “oh surprise, something that requires yet another 10 deldrimor steel ingots…”

Looking forward to tackling the next journey though. Maybe Nevermore will be it.

If you don’t like to have to get some materials, doing Nevermore is probably a bad idea. It’s worse than older legendary.

Duke Nukem.6783:

oh and while we are at it can we plz SHUT UP THAT SUPER BANANA omg its so loud and so consistent like every 5 secodns BOO BOO BEE BOO BEE BOOP , BOO BEE BOO BEE BEE BOOP

Don’t touch my annoying banana <3 That’s why I love her

Duke Nukem.6783:

its literally the most annoying thing about this game, i still dont have any option to specifically turn it off,why does the banker say MAY THE STARS GUIDE YOU every time someone talks to her???

if i made a thread on these forums every 5 seconds that just said MAY THE STARS GUIDE YOU anet would ban me, yet i have to hear them do it in game every 5 seconds, seriously nobody likes this, nobody will be sad if you change it
