I see this frequently enough. It’s a guardian specific graphic bug. As mentioned probably tied to the virtue of justice passive effect.

I suspect it occurs when you are CC’d while using the passive effect.

Question to the WvW community

Kumu Honua.2751

Something needs to be done for Rangers. I routinely ignore them entirely if they catch me while roaming. If a 2v1 situation shows itself and one is a ranger, I don’t think twice before engaging and killing said ranger right off the bat.

Now, I am a guardian and there are few classes that I fear 1v1 *Cough*kitten Mesmers*Cough* but a Ranger is not one of them =/

I have my windows placed in certain areas. They work together for my personal style. The windows all stay where they are.

With a single exception. The bank vault and guild bank vault. They have their own location.

Would it be possible to give those windows placement memory so that they open where I put them?

And while I’m at it…can the guild bank vault be given the same “Color coded rarity” option as regular vault?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

This is my current build. Switching to Stand your Ground for combat.

It survives well with it’s 19k health, Multiple Strategic Blocks, 3500 Armor, 2 stun breaks.

It supports well with condition removal, swiftness buffing (Retreat + Shield of Wrath in lightning fields), Stability, Protection/Regen.

It deals decent damage. While not zerker mode, the 3227 Power with 32% crit is not too bad.

Don’t forget, with such a close match, DB has been doing all it can to deny BP 2nd place. There were times where we were mere hundreds of points apart.

I know that our floating strike team was in bpbl for much of this matchup just to take away your ppt. SBI was a lost cause, but you? You were a target.

In fact, a common saying on your bl was “As long as it’s not red.” meaning that if SBI had a target, and there was another target nearby that was red….we went to red first.

WvW and cheating

*Players freezing my slot skills so that when I activate them they never cast, and I can no longer use them while fighting until I either die or leave WvW.

I’ve seen this, but it didn’t happen via players. It happens when picking up bundles that dissappear. For me most of the time is picking up random warrior banners while trying to loot.

If the bundle vanishes while you animate the pickup, you won’t be able to use any weapon skills and the only ways I found to fix it were to use a siege machine, or log out and back in.

I am in a chamber with a vine door. When I killed the spawn in the room, electric fields spawned in front of the vine door. The door is still closed.

Spiders run into the fields and die, the door doesn’t open despite killing the spawns in the room. There is nothing to interact with, can’t kill the fields, can’t progress.

Am I missing something or is this chamber bugged?

AC impossible for PUG's

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

I’m sorry. Did you say the spider hatchlings were taking out 4 level 80s?

That’s not an issue with the dungeon. That’s an issue with the group.

THIS if 4 level 80s are getting insta downed by this might be time to change that “uber” build uou made and start dodging a lot more…. It sounds like a L2P issue… As a low lvl taking and learning the appropriate condi removal and stum breakers is a musy if u even stand a chance not going all signets on ur character…

I assume it’s l2p as well, but after things settle down I’m wondering if its possible to take 5 lowlvl chars (well geared) and do any ac path anymore. before the patch it was easily doable if everyone knew what they were doing (new players with lowlvl chars had a bad time though). with the current mechanic I’m not so sure anymore – been holding off of leveling my guardian in AC until everybody comes to term with the new mechanics.. ;-)

They are quite doable with 35’s. The ONLY place where it will be harder will be on spider queen.

Simply because their gear is probably going to suck. They will have teeny tiny health pools and less traits etc etc.

But if they play smart and have tools to remove conditions they can certainly do it.

Pure of Voice oddities?

in Guardian

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Are you sure you’re using Hold the Line? The base regeneration is 6 seconds, and while conversion from poison should add onto the base duration, it just strikes me as odd that you are seeing a 4.25 second duration on Hold the Line’s regeneration.

I switched the duration of protection with the duration of regen. My bad. Same thing though. I use hold the line, remove poison with pure of voice and end up with 3 seconds of regeneration instead of 6+…

Otherwise, I did notice some bugs when testing this months back. I found no noticeable problems when using a shout to convert a condition into a boon that the shout did not offer. Hold the Line could convert cripple to swiftness with no problem. It was converting poison to regeneration that failed to work (or vulnerability to protection). It may have a similar issue.

Yeah. it doesn’t appear to have any issues when it converts a condition that the shout doesn’t affect. Like cripple. No problem turning it to swiftness and adding the protection and regen that hold the line provides. But if you convert poison into regeneration, you lose out on hold the line’s regeneration which is superior.

A letter from a Tarnished Coast native

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Just to clarify, not all of TC made this bed, just a vocal, enthusiastic, and perhaps naively excited minority, mainly on Reddit. Most of TC didn’t even know it was going on and weren’t involved in it, especially the RP’ers who tend to hang out elsewhere (either in-game or places like here), and are now bearing the brunt of the problems (not just the lag and overflows, but ‘lol kitten’ type harrassment).

Of course not. I’m not that naive. But it was done.

Up until the end of free transfers that may have been true, but not anymore. People who pay to be on a server have more right to the content on that server than non-paying guests from elsewhere.

There’s no such thing as non-paying. Every single last person in this game paid for the content. You do not have the right to demand that certain sections be denied that right. If I want to join on TC and group with my friends there. I should not be forced to be separated from them just because I am a guest.

And I’d say it’s even less right for guests to force natives into overflow. Both are ugly, but one is clearly the lesser of two evils.

They don’t force you into overflows. Everyone gets the same treatment. It’s entirely fair. Guests and natives alike get sent to overflow. It’s based entirely on population. Not “Class” of citizen.

The solution for you if there is an overflow is….wait for the queue to pop. Or you can guest yourselves to a non-over-saturated server.

The people who will be hit hardest by this, unfortunately, will be the players in sparsely populated servers… that’s the only thing that gives me pause.

Remember that you can be in a guild that isn’t ‘native’ to this server. Now, granted, a lot of guilds might not be keen on this idea because they may have a pvp focus for WvW on TC (yes some of us do like our pvp) … but if there are guilds that have a community, leveling, or RP focus that doesn’t mind opening doors for guesting purposes, there are ways around this.

It may require people to seek out a host — that’s the thing I’d not like to impose on a player, but if it cuts down on trolls like that, I’d certainly understand. That’s why I proposed no chest loot, but I do realize some are spiteful enough to want to come and troll anyways. And I know exploiters will find a way to get an invitation to our server to work around requiring an invitation. So limits on chest loot may also be required. But it may take more than one ‘fix’ to really address the situation.

Though someone looking to guest could certainly go to the guilds forum and find someone to sponsor them, by joining a guild. There are ways around it.

Something has to be done though; when guests come to our server and then have the gall to tell us that if we don’t want lag then we should guest to another server… the system is broken.

You sorta brought this all upon yourselves.

You made the bed, now lay in it.

I don’t think it’s right to force a guest into overflow. They have every right to the content on the server they are playing on as you do. They paid the same price.

You don’t want lag? Guest to any of the other 23 servers for YOUR PvE needs.

Uhm, yeah. So that’s the caliber of guests visiting TC. Granted, it is not representative of the entire sample of those visiting, there very well may be people using guesting as it was intended…

But seriously ANet. Those of us who are on the server or have paid for transfers to the server are the ones entitled to experience non-overflow content on the server. Those of us who built the community and who are the community. As Kumu stated, we made the bed. If they liked the bed so much, why do they just want to visit? Have their cake and eat it too? Then transfer.

Guests should receive services as available, not at the expense of natives.

No it’s not the calibur guesting. I have not guested off my server because I like my server. Even though I have friends that play on TC. Even some in my guild.

In fact, by your opinion I would actually have more of a “Right” to guest to your server than many of those that already do.

You STILL made your bed with the advertising. Now you get to live with those consequences. So if you don’t like how it all turned out, you can guest to another server to get away from it.

Anet created guesting to allow friends who settled on other servers to play with their other friends. You do not get to dictate how and when they get to do so. Maybe if TC didn’t advertise so hard to obtain the population it now has it wouldn’t be in the situation you have.

Forcing non-natives into overflows would just alienate them from the friends they are trying to connect with and THAT would be wrong.

Pure of Voice oddities?

in Guardian

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

I am seeing that my Pure of Voice/Soldier Rune set are acting a little strange.

If I use “Hold the Line!” against something like cripple, it does in fact change cripple into Swiftness. However, if I use it against Poison, instead of giving me the 4 1/4 seconds of regeneration + duration of whatever the poison was. I was getting only 3 seconds (Duration of the poison I tested it with.)

So I was actually losing out on the pure of voice benefit when using a shout that gave the same stat as one that is given by the condition that was switched.

Anyone else notice this? Am I crazy?

Shouldn’t a 3 second poison be converted to 3 seconds of regen and 4 1/4 being added on top of that due to the shout?

Kumu Honua.2751

All paths:

Spider queen: Now spawns long duration poison circles. Also uses a conical immobilize which means that you need to get out of poison circles asap before you are immobilized inside one. Condition Removal is king. If a circle is spawned on the queen itself, for the love of everything, stop face tanking while in said circle.

Spiderlings: Have much more health. Probably a good idea to focus them down before tackling the queen.

Kholer: He’s easier now with lower healthpool. Only annoyance is when he spawns necromancers that fear. Whirl of doom doesn’t do nearly as much damage but still avoidable by same mechanic.

Troll: Ceiling collapse is faster. Dodge out of circle quicker than previous incarnation. Now throws a bouncing projectile that stuns on hit. Fear is also aggravating. Stability would be wonderful. Not sure if stun projectile can be reflected. Didn’t get a chance to check yet.

Path 1:

Burrows/Defend Hodges: Actually easier with the lack of breeders. Same general concept works fine for this stage.

Artifact hunting: Same as always. Just watch for the knockdowns as always.

Howling King: Dodge Rays of doom. Position yourself so that the waves of gravelings run into the flame circles to disintegrate.

Path 2:

Spikes: Only thing that’s hard about this is the graphics glitches and FPS tanking TERRIBLY.

Defend Deatha: Same as always. Necros, Eles, Rangers, The rest.

Ghost Eater: Hit the ghost eater to spawn oozes. Target oozes with the ghostbuster beam pack. One person to use the lift beam (Skill 1) Another to use the pull beam (Skill 2) drag to the traps and it will charge the trap. When full charge, ghost eater will lose ghostly shield and can be harmed again. Repeat with next trap. Ghost eater will drop circles of doom. Don’t stand in em.

Path 3:

Lovers Room: Same as before, just no breeders. Vastly easier for all. Just kill burrows.

Grast’s room: Kill burrows as before. Nothing really changed.

Colossus Rumbulus: You need grast to be with you, so best to clear out the breeders in the way to rumbulus. His ceiling collapse is nearly instant now, and you need to be under Grast’s protection dome. Rumbulus has a KD with every melee attack with a bunch of conditions. Stability and consistant removal is great. Hard part seems to be keeping Grast alive to provide dome.

Anyone have stuff I may have gotten wrong/missed? Any tricks that have been learned such as reflecting troll bouncing projectile?
