Guild Wars 2

I don’t need a gold sink just a way to get my precursors of choice without depending on pure chance. Making legendaries is gold sink enough and making a legendary for each weapon slot and favored alt(s) adds up. More inspiring legendary skins too please. At the moment it doesn’t seem I will ever get a precursor or one that I want.

I did in fact confuse quickness with swiftness as I was most concerned with pet boons. Thanks for clearing that up Vayne.

So what this will effect. Basically Time Warp will have to wait and see how that plays out as that is the only elite skill worth having for mesmer atm.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quickness

Yeah I play the game for fun being quick allows me to live a lot longer. Now a reduction in attack speed just adds to my list of gripes. So far I have been dedicating most of my play time to characters who can move dodge and survive, for PvE and farming this is critical. I don’t mind slightly different rules for PvP. But messing around the wrong way with PvE just makes me angry. Also the respawn rate at your back makes me angry. No one likes an angry person. HULK SMASH!!!

Maybe they can add a trainer to the market so I can play at a regular speed or maybe just introduce an offline mode. Either way these decisions make me want to close the till. Is it just to save money on server loads?

When my mesmer is downed and the enemy is fresh I feel I have no hope whatsoever of getting up by myself. Needing to have a target selected before accessing downed skills was a very bad idea. Because if the enemy is behind and ranged and at a different elevation crucial seconds are lost trying to click on them while they are hitting you.

Mesmer running speed, even with armor runes is just too slow. I like to use a pistol for my off-hand why is the speed setting so low? When people run to skip in Twilight Arbor I have no chance of keeping up with them.
My traits go 30-30-0-0-10 for a domination/dueling build, my armor is valkyrie. I am fine in most places except when I try to run through multiple things then I feel that I am back in level 1. Why am I running so slow?

Mesmer elite underwater skill are we going to get one besides the time-warp. How about say an Armada, three mesmer duplicates show up and attack area for 30 secs with same strength as mesmer usable only underwater.

Stop gaps in a game, suck.

Its not even prime time and I am being sent to overflow

Seriously there is a bot/guesting epidemic for Frostgorge everytime Jormag is up on Gunnars Hold Server. My money is on the bots.

In future I would not let any guesters in prime-time slots that saves kicking them out and respects the current server population. I understand everything takes time and I appreciate being given the chance to vent without any infrared interference. Thanks for the tip and both your posts were well written.

As an incumbent of the server why don’t I get priority over guesters and teleporting bots?

I am on my server almost 100% of the time. Why do I get sent to an overflow? Especially while representing in a guild event. Serious _ _ _ _.

Word Scramble Game :O
SHIFTWT

The invisible node teleporting bots are ridiculous, please give them their own overflow server so we don’t have to see them at least.

So one less thing to play then. Though p2 is not too bad. I don’t think I would do any path more than two times a day as its fun exploring other professions, etc..

Since my disgust with the gimping of the stealth kit I haven’t bothered with high level fractals. And I can confirm when I did play from the mid 20s to 30 really really bad rng most times.

Not sure its worth it though as you have to play good to get a good reward and you can have that odd moment at the maw that throws you off. Also wasn’t impressed with the rng most times going from 22-30.

At least the colors are bolder vs Kudzu. Yeah lose the pony at the bottom.

Get McFarlane to make some designs.

I don’t like how you are writing off magic find and rangers and I would kick you if you brought that up.

The Dreamer to me looks better than the Kudzu and at that size in the link below looks more like a longbow than a shortbow.

Well I lost money on buying expensive ectos when they jumped from 65 gold for a stack to 100 gold for a stack. Brutal especially with the ignominity of buying two stacks for the final fractal capacitor backpiece form.

Yeah should be able to buy ascended earrings and amulets with pristine fractal relics.

Well then the wolf would play like a ranger pet as most encounters are under 30 secs anyways.

I agree a new format is in order as keeping the armor in bags is a bit messy.

I find myself alt-tabbing just to check the time before deciding to do a dungeon. An in game clock is a good idea.

So if you do the same thing for the hundredth time how is that an achievement? Obviously you know you can do it. As its such an arbitrary term, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

That would be most excellent.

Can we get one please. Two pistols running around shooting and shouting Arriba, Arriba. Also playing a little Mariachi song.

The longbow and the axe, pistol and staff seem kind of ho-hum for my toon and dress style. Need more designs because I feel uninspired by the current crop for my ranger and mesmer aside from the Meteorlogicus which I like.

Also if I transmute can I make the pre-cursor staff The Legend because I think I have the items for it? Though again the Bitfrost doesn’t do it for me.

Hi with this latest patch two people were disconnected by their connection at the last boss and were forced to patch and could not get back into the dungeon with us. Is there anyway to mitigate this in the future on your end or will this always happen a small but unhappy percentage of the time?

Well where the game betrays itself is once you are used to the open world for so long the feeling does not extend to dungeons. The feeling being that the difficulty of the enemy is the same. You have to pull back, play conservative and use teamwork as well as strategy. Which is okay but there were too many liberties taken with the enemies health bars maybe take half to a third off as it takes a ludicrous amount of time to deplete. And the one shot attacks which kill you from regular attackers not the boss or mini-boss begs the question if they got the caliber of weapon to do that then why don’t I.

I would agree that the starting level for story/explorable makes no sense for the following dungeons.

Ascalonian Catacombs 30 Add 5 to each for explorable
Caudecus’s Manor 40
Twilight Arbor 50
Sorrow’s Embrace 60

And Arah outside of story should be 160 fully traited. As the enemies are 3x as hard as any other dungeon.

Bots in dungeon sounds pretty horrible. As for the portal gun, thats just emergent gameplay, if it can be used intelligently, why not.

Yeah this happens too often, thats why I’m leveling all my alts in the lower level 1-15 zones before I move them up a tier. Sometimes they pop-up out of nowhere to traverse part of the map like in Frostgorge with the grawl.

There are some situations that require yo-yo-ing the pet (jellyfish boss) , or setting it on defence only (when you don’t want aggro) , or not entering the room till the crystals are in place, or putting it away completely (electrified staircase).

Took two months to level to 80. Went slowly and got equipment by area. Mainly from karma merchants and when I hit 60 started buying rares to equip. Finally bought exotic armor with karma and used my gold for weapons, sigils and runes. Then crafted my accessories as time went along.

Best bet is start in all the low level 1-15 areas first then move up a tier so you don’t die needlessly when an enemy you just killed respawns behind you. Craft as you go along if you can as for every 5 or 10 levels that equipment is the strongest you can get for your level.

Mithril dowels.

Well I got one since the patch. So now I believe I have three.

Recruiting for, Blueberry Hill Warband. Come find your thrill.

Level one, white armor.

Basically dodge, strafe, drop shield asap, then run away from shaman, swap weapons target lava elementals, you don’t want to kill them but use them to rez and when everyone is in the clear health-wise finish them.

Thats so you kill them fast, to prevent the sacrifices in order to get the bonus chest after killing the champ.

Why does there always have to be some troll. Bring back Spy Kits as they were, etc, etc. You want to talk about cheddar. Mesmer has only 5 seconds of mass invisibility. Playstyle and playing with style is what counts. Kyra Sharptracker wants to be loved.

Thats a good idea. Stay Frosty. :P

I like that scenario.

It so easy some people even have Halloween cauldrons they share so you have access to a costume straight away.

ZOMG its so unfair the guys with the alts didn’t have to grind to get their levels to 80 and world completion in order to get there and learn their characters better. ZOMG…..
oh wait they did, but give me more loot anyway.

Guesting I think thats taking it too far from a Clockwork Orange point of view not because I feel personally aggrieved in any way but that I may end up in a rubber room if I did that.

Seriously are there some sort of ranking tables hidden somewhere and you want to be in the top 10. Just play and enjoy the game or you will drive yourself crazy, like me sort of, though I try to avoid the rubber room.

Honestly so many people just toeing the company line like they just took part in a bake sale but somehow didn’t manage to sell anything because they burned the food. Your arguments are unconvincing. Its not about whether its doable or not, its about choosing to play a different way.

This is not a Barney moment, I don’t love you, you don’t love me. It can still be saved though if you stop being creepy.

Its silly and its fun to do, please consider it as building the social aspect of the game.

There is that magic word, silly. At least it brings some levity to the forums. I sincerely thank you for that. I wish I could just go back to pre-school and just be silly.

Silly is a most fantastic word.

Freedom includes playing how I used to, if I choose. Only now I can’t choose. You are right in that I am disappointed. It has affected me and made a very negative impact this week.

I don’t see how I am exploiting anyone by playing a game that I enjoy. Emergent gameplay like the kind we had from the spy kits should be embraced. A different smarter way to play the game, without dying unnecessarily.

If it was as intended those dredge in the cage would actually drop loot. Then you can bet I would have insisted on collecting instead of using the spy kit, and we would not be posting about this. Don’t pull the wool over my eyes, please.

As for other exploits, Arah and the health bar of those nutty mobs seems to be a huge exploit on the goodwill of the player. What are they 3x more powerful than in any other dungeon. Story aside, I have avoided that dungeon and not complained. Until now.

Go read all my posts on spy kits before you belittle me by saying working as intended. You are belittling me. I strongly suggest you lock all these threads, because nothing good can come of it, just more condescending provocation.

Stop schilling the anti spy kit theme. It was flexible it was useful and now thanks to an overly obtuse group-think it is gone. You guys want the game harder. Do it in white armor from level 1. Just yapping and schilling.

Why spy kits are used. Because they are a consumable, and enable a more flexible play style. They gimped the spy kits and neutered the game.

Lets be extremely cynical. The only reason the recommended level exists is to prevent salvage of rares from 30 tokens. Thats being cynical.

As for blitzing with exotics. We would any of us spend all that time to play and level up if we couldn’t blitz. Some of us have played through most if not all the game for fun, enjoyability and sometimes with great patience. Crawl through coppers, walk through silvers and run to gold. Thats the design of the game and every rpg since forever.
