Guild Wars 2

it really is working as intended.

lets say that your map (Map A) is at 40% population and about halfway through the meta events.

and the other map (Map B ) is at 100% and is currently doing the final meta.

Map B finishes the meta and a bunch of players leave the map because the event is over, now Map B is at 50% population and the game sees this and asks you to join the more populated map because yours only has 40% players in it.

so you, not knowing any better, click to join, now you’re on Map B starting the Meta all over from start with just as few people as before. Except you also joined before they finished leaving, so lets say another 30% of the people leave after you’ve joined. Now Map B has 20% population.

when that button pops up, its asking you to join a map that all those people just left, which usually means the meta just ended.

i never played GW1, so it really has no impact on me. i would assume the same for many others, so the only people left who might be upset would be the players of the 1st game.

and you say blocked as if it isn’t available to all players.

I don’t think ive ever gotten a spark from a pod, but they drop all the time from the TD chests

im pretty proud of my Charr Mes named Magicat

yeah, I already had the first 4 when I bought the season, so the gem cost was reduced to not include the ones I already had

ok I see too many people ignoring the real problem, the fights have a limit.

there are world bosses that last longer than some of the raid encounters, so there’s no argument for casual complaints.

the real problem is that people want hand-out loot, it is not a time restraint issue that prevents casual players from enjoying the raids, it is an unwillingness to learn fight mechanics hidden behind shroud of “I can’t” when they are really saying “I won’t”

Necro is OP, I have one, I know they are.

but there is an easy fix without actually nerfing them!
all they need to do is make ground target spells reflectable, the only reason necro seems so strong is that almost all of their abilities are immune to reflect.

no, but I have seen raids asking for 30+ insights,
do they really think that if I had 30+ of those… I would be PUGing? obviously I already run with a regular group if I had that many.

I know hundreds, and yes HUNDREDS of people who pugs raids WEEKLY for full clears, who have 30+ insights.

-those asking how i know hundreds, I am an officer of a no rep, raid LFG guild, we are 99% of the time maxed at 500 people in the guild, and raids and organized all the time in the guild / people picked up.

lets ignore the fact that being in a guild together means its not a PUG, and lets focus on the fact that you said they do it regularly. my point stands

no, but I have seen raids asking for 30+ insights,
do they really think that if I had 30+ of those… I would be PUGing? obviously I already run with a regular group if I had that many.

try zoning back into VB, and then returning to AB- that fixed the issue when I had it

its ‘legendary’ armor, not ‘casual’ armor.

you don’t get legendary rewards for doing casual things.

But at least it’s not like you are required to obtain it to progress, so you aren’t being held back in any way.

MMO?
MM?
Massively multiplayer?

sounds to me like you should look into something that isn’t multiplayer if you want to play solo.

do you really want to get your raid flooded with every green wearing character that happens to decide he wants a carry?

bad idea

i run with a shield in my guard build and i use it more like an AOE party heal with a bonus that takes a chunk of break bar away.

an easy fix for the people who want loot now and are too lazy/impatient to wait for enough people to join, or don’t want to put any effort into finding people, would be to only start the map close timer, when the event actually kicks off.

i got this just now

edit; i just realized from this screenshot that i somehow ended up with an extra skype on my desktop

it was too open-world, and required large amounts of people.

the events were spawns throughout whole zones, most of it cant be put into an instance

i just lead a successful assault on the temple yesterday, you just gotta start doing one of the chains and people will join in

i run sword shield and hammer

my guard is set up to be a heavy CC/tanky build and i would use the mace, but i like having that 2nd teleport that sword gives

now i always keep a scepter in my bags… after i fought lupi with dual melee and dodged more times than Neo did in the matrix i decided, never again. so i keep it just in case i need range

My reaper, his name is Jack

the easiest way to figure them out is to play one, once you learn where the real one will be given what abilities they used it will make it a thousand times easier to spot them, because you know how their skills work and where they will end up

My Reaper uses skin armor

your character talks in the expansion, i cant recall if its during action or if its a cutscene

Every time I’ve ever played an MMO, I’ve always hated leveling alts, because I feel like I’m wasting time that I could be spending improving my main character. But since HoT gave us the mastery system, I have fun playing them because my main still gets the benefit of the experience towards the mastery leveling.
Now even when I’m not on my guardian i can enjoy playing these other classes!

Im hoping for birds or frogs,

But i have 5 charr characters because 1 charr is worth 3 of any other race

As a full on tank spec guardian, these things can take 80% of my health if they hit me without a block up

The only viable explanation i can think of is that the minions still retain gender as we saw with the silvari during the HoT story. Glint was after all, only a minion

This is the only game or expansion I’ve bought all year that was worth the money and time invested.
Good job

Imagine 4 giant underwater-only borderlands in wvw

So due to work i only had the first 4 episodes of LS2 unlocked.. well i recently helped out a guild mate with some of the episodes that i had no access to beforehand.

Now throughout the entire story so far, all dragons are referred to as “it”

Except for Glint, who is apparently the only dragon that has a gender. “Her”

Why does this specific dragon not follow the rules?

He’ll probably take credit for development too

So i was doing my personal story mission, when Trahearne summons something like 4 flesh golems and 3 shadow beasts.
So if he is actually a necromancer, does that mean hes been playing the HoT beta for 3 years? cause he still has a greatsword.

this part had the circled statement in a human voice instead of charr

All of my characters are Charr
20 something Charr Mesmer as well not included in photo

They say beta in the corner of each one, but there’s only 2 of them. The options for creation though are the same as a regular character. Will these slots dissappear when HoT is released?
I only bought the standard expansion option

So i bought HoT, and 2 “beta” character slots poped up on my selection screen. However revenant is locked out saying i need to buy HoT first. Is the beta slots only for existing classes?

The idea behind a full zerker group is to do so much dps, that the fight mechanics dont matter. If you’ve seen these groups fail to kill a boss fast enough, you spend most of the remaining fight trying to rez them because they repeatedly go downed.

Hopefully the raid bosses will have mechanics that cant be ignored, and enough health to void the use of this terrible “meta”

The bubble is an aoe heal with knockback as a bonus. And the cone should be used for buffing allies, the damage is a bonus

I dont have the build on hand, but weapon sets for cc guard would be hammer & sword/shield (swap out sword for scepter if you need range)

My guardian is top left, he uses Juggernaut as his 2nd weapon set

Feed me Seymour, it’s time for lunch!

Put in for 2 weeks of leave starting right after Halloween

I’ve tried, this site just won’t accept my card info so i cant buy the expansion. Is there a physical location i can buy it at?

i like the combat system in GW2,

i had quit WoW when cataclysm came out because PvP had just become bad.
i tried a few other games after that- DDO, Runes of Magic, and a few others not even worth mentioning. but the combat system in this game is what made me decide to stick with it- the pvp was fun with this system

when i read this topic, this is what i saw:

1st User: What you do at ArenaNet is you take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers?

Admin: Yes, yes that’s right.

2nd User: Well then I just have to ask why can’t the customers take them directly to the software people?

Admin: Well, I’ll tell you why… because… engineers are not good at dealing with customers…

1st User: So you physically take the specs from the customer?

Admin: Well… No. My secretary does that… or they’re faxed.

2nd User: So then you must physically bring them to the software people?

Admin: Well… No. ah sometimes.

1st User: What would you say you do here?

Admin: Look I already told you, I deal with the @#$% customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people, can’t you understand that? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

this is what ive got

Charr T2 Helm
Charr T3 Gauntlets
ascended chest
Vigil Shoulders
Arah pants
CoF boots

juggernaut hammer
amber sword/shield

amber staff/scepter kept in bag

i knew this would become an issue, which is why i bought all the weapon recipes i wanted to make first, keys can easily be obtained at any tier latter on.

just finished my 4th Ambrite weapon this morning

i actually had fun with that fight, but since i play charr characters it seemed like a recycle of a boss i fought at lvl 1, still the changed mechanics made it feel different enough

maybe the next fractal update will add one where we help him on part of his search

i love these weapon skins
