Guild Wars 2

Arikyali.5804:

Really, what is so bad about it? It adds a bit more challenge in outnumbered fights. And if you rally up, you get to come out with a vengeance.

You would normally think being outnumbered adds already enough challenge with, you know, being outnumbered and such.
Apparently not

I rather not have any stars on my Howler.
Thank you very much.

There is only the guild backpiece which can be bougth for guild commendations and the exotic spinal backpiece which can be crafted with blade shards

You know you can select a keybind with which you can make an instant u-turn?
If you play ranger, you need hat keybind.

Gloam Drifter.9158:

They are rewards for the tournament so pretty much no chance of that. Its almost a certainty they will be back next tournament though so you might want to pop in and work on getting them then.

This is right.
Work on getting them in this case by the way does mean pay some gems to transfer to one of your top tier gold servers.

What happened to this?

Eherm.

MMO Player 1: Good job on the dungeon, guys. Ales are on me tonight!
MMO Player 2: Its so much easier to put a group together in this game.
MMO Player 3: No doubt.
MMO Player 1: I really like how every class has a role and can contribute to the— yikes!
“Looking 4 experienced, no noob ele 10kp AP+ full asc zerker only gear ping or kick”
MMO Player 3: They died waiting for an fitting Elementalist. Ironic.

Welcome to the wonderful world of open world coordinated zerg content.
Because raids are not social and only for mean and bad elitists ^-^

Because any upgrade component placed in these is lost forever

Unfortunately, if you dont want many legendaries or ascended amulets, badges of honor are by far the the currency that is worth the least. You should never buy the exotic gear with it and the prints are little more than dirt

Draknar.5748:

If you actually stick with the zerg you will have perma-speed buff pretty much, I know my Mesmer is always speed buffed as long as I stick in the main zerg. If you straggle behind that’s on you.

Who do you think you have to thank for that?

Leatherworker tier 6 backpack becomes available after you kill 1000 bearbows.

The resolution on these flowerspearwhatever things is already a great bit higher than the standard arrow model. Just changing these is already a huge deal.
You also cant do this because then bifrost users would come saying stuff like “Longbow ranger get this and that on their aoe why cant we get..” and the problems are starting.
Meteor Shower is also nothing more than fire balls, just like the auto, yet it doesnt change with having bifrost.

“Remember that you can exchange gems for gold!” :> :> :> :> :> :>

Dont try to avoid berserker gear. It not only makes you more efficient but being squishy will also Force/train you to become a better player

Doesnt matter how properly you learned to use weapon, you will still be miles behind an equally skilled ranger using any of the other weapons. The weapon is bad in every aspect and mode of the game. But well, if you just like to use the weapon its totally ok and the look is clearly a subjective thing.
It also doesnt matter how long it took you to get it since most others get it in about a month, so thats what the weapons quality is worth.

I am happy that the aoe doesnt have a special effect, it would be horrible in wvw because of yet another added effects and even in teamfights in tpvp. It would be annoying, hinder the ability to see and for some persons probably also decrease the performance.
There is a reason the AOEs in this game dont have that legendary poop effects slapped all over them and its a good reason.

I mean, my legendary clipps with freaking itself, what am i supposed to feel. :c

Elementalist.
Fiery Rush.

I think they care even less about open world pve

They have abandoned dungeons long ago. Every balance update is with tpvp in mind only and dungeons players will just have to eat it up

But…but… meeleing spider queen is clearly an exploit. Reflecting bosses attacks is also an exploit..
Sheesh, isnt that obvious

Mobs that drop loot when i kill them

Are there other bosses other than malrona and Wurm who are not reflectable anymore?
I agree that reflecting the projectiles at full power on some bosses is a little bit op but just make reflect not work anymore is maximum level of cheapness and they dont even tell that they did.
Increasing drop rate of Scrolls of knowledge in BL Chests is important but that not, what
-_-

Kibazuka.1390:

Oh well, good groups will continue doing her in that corner, for pugs it will eventually be a lot harder from now on

Stairs stacking is not an option anymore even for experienced groups because the amount of poison is so high now that she can wipe the whole party in a matter of three ticks. You can use condition mitigation/cleansing but still having to do so you lose time which allows her to use AoE again.

Uh, the spider is dead before she even does anything

gawker.8340:

Also, i’m referring to the game content where the majority of the GW2 community participates, WvW.

I think you got that one wrong already

I use it on a celestial hybrid trapper for a long time by now, its great for dueling http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQRAnY8fjMqUva5Kusw1aAAhaVA0eGa2Yg9D0BfQBnOA-TZhBwAAOBAaOIA52fIyTAwbZAA The amount of chill is ridiculous and it completely wrecks any elementalist or guardian

Geez, after all that time, most people still dont know why spider queen is even done in that specific corner. Its not because of her aoe.
Oh well, good groups will continue doing her in that corner, for pugs it will eventually be a lot harder from now on

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

It appears some people aren’t reading the entirety of my post. I’m trying to avoid options such as those very 2. Running the same dungeons over and over isn’t fun. Killing the same champs in a train over and over isn’t fun.

Perhaps I should rephrase the topic: is there any way to earn skill points that’s both entertaining and relatively fast?

PvP

I only ever once saw a person with the Ultimate Dominator title but i dont know how hard that title is to get at all since i dont wvw that much

There is actually a dagger in the skin locker which uses the copper sickle skin. Not earnable though. I think the name was soul harvester or something like that

My pet and its skills get affected by chill so why should your attunement swapping not

warriorjrd.8695:

So you admit to having 1500-1900 toughness and are still confused by the numbers? Buy some armour, it helps.

1500-1900 toughness is different from 1500-1900 armor..
1900 toughness is quite much actually

Rauderi.8706:

…

Good for you that you dont have to guest anymore, its still a fact that it only took some seconds and you had the choice how to do your content. Now there is no choice.
Along with the absurdely long list of other problems it introduced i dont deem the introduction of megaservers justified at all.

Yes, if you delete all characters, you can change for free

No title best title

Depends on what you want to do with that build

The reason for that is that they only have 4 slots for the f skills and programming more would be.. eherm.. “to much of a hassle” or something like that. Yeah, thats a cool reason isnt it <<
But for whatever reason the ranger has with the agressive/passive switch already one more button than any other class but which isnt bindeable to a key.
I agree it sucks especially on the khylo part, pet path finding never was so annoying.
I also wish we could at least switch which pet skill we want to activate with f2. I would love my drake to make his breath whenever he feels like it but instead having control over when he does his kitten blast finisher. Heck we cant even see the boons and conditions the pet has.
Every AI build suffers from these problems, all because of this kitten , static, written in stone interface which doesnt leave any room for that they are so proud of.

You can solo Kuraii tho.
You could solo the others as well if it wouldnt be for the veteran mob spam.
Well, maybe not Pyroxis

Yes, we dont have that on NA/EU.
We also dont have V.I.P.
You wanna have that?

As far as im aware if a player has not attacked or taken action in an event for a short period of time, the event will scale down even when hes still there and will scale up again when hes attacking again

Go to a bank, view wardrobe, look what is available, choose what you like the most and then look how to obtain it. You can also ask here how to get that or this armor.
But there are no special mystic forge armors, only weapons.

Brother Grimm.5176:

There is no “Tank” and no amount of damage mitigation skills (sans dodging and actively avoiding attacks) are going to allow you to survive extended combat engagements.

Bringing to you today, the one and only AFKardian: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVEQJASWn0ARhQ2JEOCBBimIhgyc//H7MsiWcZAWAA-TRSDABO8AAMUJ4xHBAMuAAXq+TWK/A4QAonugU2fIAwBwv/mv/GY5lXe5lXul/d5fXe5xAYG-e – only press 1 once and beat all of pve

The infusion will be lost

You can hover with your mouse over the name of every map when opened the world map and you see exactly how much POIs you have.

I think when upgrading to a higher tier it can yield a level that is below the weapons used. Or maybe just when upgrading to exotics.
Either way, it sucks

Static field is an important sorce of swiftness for medium sized zergs where you dont have 20 staff guards alone spamming their symbol all the time. The same goes for speedstacking in dungeons. For example the underwater fractal before the dolphin part. You also cant override other combo fields since the combo field layed down first is the one that counts. If anything you can annoy them by laying down a wrong combo field first where should have been put a better one.

-

on a condition build this one second burn is like 600 added damage through nothing but a secondary effect on a projectile alone. Its not insane but its definitely not laughable. The second part doesnt make sense, they all work in pve and you can use them, just dont expect to break world records (like with many other things as well)

Projectile finishers are weak because they are easily spammable.
A third of all combo fields being viable for dungeon speedclears is also not bad at all(But more situational light, not water at all) since most are designed for pvp

eekzie.5640:

Kibazuka.1390:

They are not useless o.O

Most cases, as in pretty much anything that’s not a firefield + blast combination.
Or the situational blind/stealth.

What, combo fields are an essential part in the high end of every aspect in the game.
Be it fire and smoke fields in dungeons, Water and static fields in wvw or any existing fields in spvp

They are not useless o.O

Without trading post i think its like that:
Dungeons>World Bosses>Node Farming>Champ Train/EOTM. Also dont forget to do your Guild missions every week.
Rest is basically forget it if you want to make any gold.
Oh and how much do you play the game that you finish your dungeons and still have so much time? A full tour for max profit is like 3-4 hours. Add dailies to that, maybe some more pvp and then maybe playing the game normally or a world boss tour.. i never felt after dungeons “there is nothing to do anymore”

Hm….. i wonder..

Brother Grimm.5176:

I’ve been keeping an eye on this issue and I’ve tossed in my fair share of LVL 80 gear since the patch and have yet to see a non-LVL 80 come out. I’m sure it can happen, but I don’t think it is a common as those that originally complained about it wanted everyone to believe…..

I have another question, I mixed 3 exotic GS + 1 mystic stone and I received a scepter so this was changed too? in that case if I’m gonna mix 3 armor pieces + 1 stone I can get a weapon?

Pretty sure it has always worked that way. I know for a fact it did this before the patch.

Per above, I don’t think it is broken.

I just crafted 210 rare Krait greatswords and threw them all in the forge. Out of the 12 exotics i got from burning through these only 4 where actually lvl 80. Doesnt sound all to uncommon huh. The rares where all lvl 80 tho
