Guild Wars 2

They finals stopped people from skill/weapon swap during that final 10 seconds? Awesome!

I thought that was a stupid way to play the game.

The last Ready Up episode addressed Enineer changes. The mentioned that they are decreasing the knock back range of turrets. The devs said they want the turret knock backs to be disruptions, not grand slammers. This should fix most of your complaint.

Why are there no ascended trinkets with keeper’s stats yet? I’m unsure of the reasoning behind having weapons and armor with the stats, but no trinkets. Is there maybe an ETA on them?

Ok Thanks. I switched characters for a bit and did the first story step on him. I just logged into my character that I was having the problem on to look for Toska, and now the green star is showing…

I think I left the instance for this story step a bit too early maybe? The step says to find and talk to Toska the Miner. I see no green star, and I also looked around the whole village to be safe. I can’t re-enter the instance either. Am I stupid or did the game bug?

I’m messing around with a life siphon MM build on my necro and I noticed today that it handles turret engineers pretty well.

I feel balance is pretty good right now, not perfect of course, but I don’t see anything that screams “OP!!”. If you find yourself struggling against a specific build a lot, try to make your build target that build, then make adjustments to round your build out so it isn’t useless in other situations.

Months after this trait was released, this trait still doesn’t heal allies when I blast through them. Come on please…

Putting a reward cap on hotjoin is a smart move. It will prevent another sky hammer farm situation… I’d rather have a few bummed hot joiners than a bunch of angry dedicated pvpers.

Sadly that is how it works. It sucks that it is as if you have never bought a $20 gem store item if you forget to throw in a token (that you buy) after going on vacation (aka: away from GW2) for just over a week…

I guess I didn’t like having fun custom games with guildies on occasion. Oh well.

Yeah, this whole animal rank and finishers should be the least of peoples complaints.

In the future blu I would suggest laying a rule down about rage quitting costing you an entry in the next tourney. It’s extremely bad for the game.

I agree.

That, or they don’t get their prize winnings if they don’t play all of their scheduled matches. I really wanted to watch them play against lonely. That was VERY lame of them and I will definitely not be rooting for any of them next time.

I’d love to finally craft ascended zealot’s stat trinkets at least. But I wish you could just buy them like every other stat combo

Hmm, well then there goes my backing…

BRING BANK TO HOTM!

I never WvW. Didn’t know that. But that is only to an extent to how hotm is isn’kitten Once you go to wvw, you can only take a lions arch portal back, it won’t return you to where you were in pve

There is already a merchant. It is where the amulet vendor used to be.

As for a bank. It would be nice, but they would have to change around how you enter the Heart of the Mists then. If they just added a bank to the hotm, then everyone would always just free port to hotm to bank then free port back to where they were in pve. That would be bad.

Yeah, pretty annoying. I like to run around killing random stuff in pve while I wait for queues to pop, and on some of my guys I use different weapons in pve. I still sometimes forget to swap my weapons back when I get into a match.

Yeah this skill is definitely unreliable/bugged. Many times when the life blast clearly goes through an ally, they don’t get healed.

Anet wanted to remove them because it is a bad system, but people cried that they wanted to keep ranks, so awesome Anet listened!

Now that Anet tweaked the rankings (for the better I feel) and people for some reason hate the dragon finisher I just wish Anet got rid of them…

I like how they don’t show ranks at the end. It makes the game feel less hostile.

Oh ok. Well I guess I will submit a ticket, because I just wasted a lot of laurels…

Thanks for the info!

Ok, thanks guys. The Unique definitely didn’t pop out to me, and if I did see it I probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it.

A guild mate mentioned that it becomes account bound again when you infuse it, so I think I’ll just infuse it when I can and throw it on a different character.

Thanks!

Where is it?!

I don’t do fractals much. but I just bought my second ascended accessory for my thief. No where does it clearly show that I cannot have two of the same ascended accessories on. I can have two of the same exotics, so I figured I could do the same with ascended. NOPE! Just wasted 40 laurels and 50 globs of ectoplasm… Thanks for poor communication. I shouldn’t have to research over the internet to have learned this little fact. The game should WARN me about it clearly.

Anet mentioned in the latest Ready Up that they were adding in warnings with how sigils work for each other. Based off of what just happened to me, they should do the same for ascended accessories.

I normally don’t get kittened if I accidentally waste some money, but laurels are a different story. That is 40 days

Rickster.8752:

Thief = more sustain on glass specs when it needs WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY LESS.

Keep in mind for thieves that if they want this more survivability, they will be getting rid of 20% damage increase trait below 50% health. That is sacrificing a lot of damage for probably a little healing. I’d maybe only use this trait in dungeons personally.

May seem a little cluttered, but maybe put a sub-setting below the “Mute when minimized” option to let the match notification play through. Have the new option be hidden or grayed out when the mute minimized option isn’t checked. Then when mute minimized is checked, new option will be checkable to determine if a match notification plays when the game is minimized or not. Just a thought.

I know it isn’t a big deal in the grad scheme of things, but you guys plan on cleaning that up in the future so the animation correctly displays when coming out of stealth?

Garambola.2461:

There are recipies for exotic jewelry. Sprocket Orichalcum Ring, Amulet and Earring. For sale at Trading Post. Under a gold for all three.

Oh man, thank you! Using wrong keywords looking for it I guess. Tried searching just "recipe: " and didn’t see it. Thanks!

No, it does not…

I’ve leveled jeweler up to 400 for the first time. You can create upgrade components using a Filigree and what ever jewel you want. You then combine these upgrade components to make the exotic trinket.

YOU CAN CREATE EXQUISITE WATCHWORK SPROCKET. This upgrade component has Zealot’s stats. With this jeweler system, you SHOULD then be able to combine this upgrade component to the crafting components to create a trinket.

But where I get lost is that I see no option to create the trinket with this upgrade component (Exquisite Watchwork Sprocket). I’m asking if there is some recipe I need to somehow get.

Because it seems odd that Anet would allow you to create the upgrade component, but not be able to make a trinket from it. If someone else with some knowledge could please reply if I need a recipe, or that Anet just decided that you can’t use this specific upgrade component to craft a trinket, I’d appreciate it!

GoddessOfTheWinds.2937:

Just mentionned here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Ascended-Zealot-Trinkets/

You didn’t look much.

No, the recipes you can buy are only weapons and armors. There is currently no way to get it via trinkets.

Umm, please read. I did see that post, but it is talking about ascended. I’m talking about exotic. Please read more carefully before calling someone out maybe?

Is there a way to do this? I’m able to craft the Exquisite Watchwork Sprocket, but I can’t combine that with other crafting materials to create a full zealot’s trinket. I can’t discover with it, and I can’t find a recipe to buy to make one.

Klinch.2964:

I would be sad if it got removed from solo q. It is a fun map.

Please understand that we don’t necessarily want it off… we just want to OPTION to not queue for it. Instead of being forced into it. We just want to queue for a map we like to play in, just like in any other game out there that has this feature since release…

Team Queue. No Skyhammer and better rewards! I solo or duo q in that a lot. Rarely do I run into full hard core premade teams. So you do have an option.

I would be sad if it got removed from solo q. It is a fun map.

Khisanth.2948:

Did you check by activating in a lv80 area or did you just look at the tooltip? Tooltips are often unreliable.

The direct healing should increase to 1350 while the regen should increase to around 173/s(from 130).

I did test it in Frostgorge Sound by actually using the skills in combat. I know the tooltip for the pet active is actually adjusted based on the player’s own stats.

I’m not in game atm, but the fern hound active healed for 1000 and I don’t remember the regen amount. When I put on the compassion trait, it still only healed for 1000, and the regen amound didn’t change either.

I can’t seem to see any difference with compassion training active or not active on my Juvenile Fern Hound. When it combat it shows the extra 350 healing power, but the F2 skill isn’t effected at all. I threw Signet of the Wild on to see if its passive heal would change maybe too, but it didn’t. Activating a heal skill also does not effect the pets heal either.

I then looked at the Moa’s Harmonic Cry skill. That skill seems to scale with the additional 350 healing power.

Is this a bug? Or is that just the way this trait is intended to work. You would think that the Juvenile Fern Hound’s F2 heal would scale off of this trait as well…

Why don’t we have more bonus rank point (or other type of xp) weekends? I feel like it would bring more people to try pvp.

I understand that this current rank point bonus may be a one time thing, but you should better inform people of it. Make it something like GW1. The initial log-in page isn’t a very good spot to put things since most people have auto log-in, so it is only up for at most 5 seconds before it brings the player to character select.

The announcements in GW1 worked well because people had to interact to log-in, so it gave time to players to actually read the current bonuses and news (can see in photo attached). So small things such as Heroes’ Ascent Bonus was probably noticed by more players who didn’t even care much (or know about) Heroes’ Ascent.

But at the very least, you should have put the increased rank point on the announcements at log-in so people had a chance to see it.

Just realized that my tiger roar is missing too. whoa

WE NEED KATY PERRY!

Well that is a bummer… Hopefully the recipes will return so I actually have some sort of use for these sprockets.

I looked on the gw2 wiki for how to get the recipe, and it says only during the queens jubilee can I get it. Is there no other way to get the recipe at all? Possibly during Scarlett’s minion attacks on a map since that was part of the Jubilee?

I actually had a custom server running with normal hotjoin rules without Skyhammer and Capricon for about 3 months. I even specified it in the title. No one joined. And if they did, didn’t stay.

On top of knocking pets off, then give them the ability to run off of ledges to directly attack someone, rather than run half way across the world to get the the target 5 feet in front of me…

When using Nvidia’s ShadowPlay feature on Guild Wars 2, every so often the rendering of the game just messes up and shows a weird graphical glitch. Sometimes the glitch just appears on my character, other times it shows on the floor and objects in the map.

I’m not sure if there is anything Anet can do to help fix it anyway, but this is the only game I’ve noticed this bug happening in.

I thought I’d just throw the bug up here hoping it gets fixed.

Cool man! I’ve been running a scepter/dagger necro lately to easily deal with all of these heal signet warriors.

Btw, don’t stack all of your marks on top of each other. 1 evade makes them all useless

Actually NPC: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/c/c6/Lunatic_Boatmaster.jpg

Then me, thanks for the help!
I really wanted this look since my character name is ‘Klinch Kharon’, and Kharon means ferryman of the dead. It was destiny!

Ok thank you! Armor set is all done …

about 75 gold later

I’ve looked at the pvp locker, and none looked too great. I’m thinking about using the Acolyte’s coat, but I wasn’t sure if there were more than just the pvp locker of choices.

And Saulius, I did that for back pieces a while ago, but now when I try with the whispers coat, the stone says that the item will be soulbound once transmuted.

After looking a bit more, the COE coat looks ok with the setup, so I think I’ll just go with that, but if anyone else knows a good one, please let me know!

When I first saw the Lunatic Boatmaster a year ago, I thought they he looked really cool and I wanted to look like him since I already had the crossing. But I never really looked into it.

Recently, I stumbled across this:
http://mmmos.com/guildwars2/?page=view&id=10239

I got everything but the chest piece. My necro isn’t in the Order of Whispers. Does anyone know a good alternative to the Whispers light chest piece?

Thanks in advanced!

EDIT: Got it, thanks for the help!

Cush.4063:

I actually agree. Finally a thread that’s not about the same stuff over and over again. Sometimes I have a hard time finding my cursor so instant ground targeting is a big fail for me. I would use instant ground targeting if I was able to change the appearance of my curao so I could see it more visibly.

there is an option called “Fast with Range Indicator”. It is just as good as fast casting, but shows aoe circle. Try it out!

I some how got to 140 at one point. I lost about 8 games in a row one day ankitten ow at 90%ish. I like where I am now though because not everyone runs the textbook best build, so I can actually have fun with random builds without getting completely hammered (pun intended for warriors).

I’ve owned a custom arena since they came out. I would put tokens in when a few friends and I were going to use it, or when the arena was about to get deleted. I went to the parents for a week for Thanksgiving, and during then completely forgot to add a token to keep the arena that I paid for.

No more custom arena, and now I have many tokens I bought and have no use for

Great system…

(Sorry, felt like ranting my sorrows away)

Combined training gives a %5 damage bonus to dual skills. Shadow Strike hits twice, the initial dagger strike, then the pistol shot once you shadow step away.

The dagger strike damage is increased when you apply the trait effects, but the pistol shot damage isn’t affected at all. Is this intended or a bug? I feel like the pistol shot should be affected since it is part of the dual skill.

Yeah, I actually thought I put this in the bug forum… Oops

The tooltip for Furious Screech on the Red Moa says that it grants 15 seconds of aoe fury initially, and it does grant 15 seconds. Then when you go 30 points into Nature Magic trait line (which gives you 30% increased boon duration), the tooltip then says that the Moa grants 19.5 seconds of fury, but the Moa still only grants 15 seconds.

I see why this is since the pets have their own set of stats, but then the tool tip is basing its info off of the wrong variables.

I’m not sure if that also means that other pet ability tool tips are are being modified by player stats as well. Please look into it, because that can be pretty misleading.

Thanks!
