Guild Wars 2

Ooooh I get it.

That’s fair, as long as that distinction about in combat and out is made.

castlemanic.3198:

I think signet of inspiration should only be modified to give a 10 second swiftness buff every ten seconds when out of combat and when in combat resume random buff generation. The out of combat swiftness boon could also be specialised so that it can’t be copied over to other players by signet of inspiration active, but swiftness generated in combat would remain copyable.

Swiftness is a 33% increase in movement speed. So I’m not really sure why it should be buffed any further… Like, A separate signet that simply gives the 25% increase without a boon as a passive affect makes sense… but something that literally gives perma-swiftness?

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

The 4-1 method hasn’t worked for months. The only way to succeed with this fight is finesse in Spark pulling.

Yeah, I noticed that. I was never able to get that to work, wasn’t sure if it was just me.

Oh my gosh. Hahahaha.

Ah I see the confusion, I wasn’t really clear. What I meant was that I could see a signet for a mesmer that gave a passive 25% movement speed and when activated either gave a single boon to self and allies or a condition to enemy (like Air signet, blind). I did know that inspiration doesn’t give a condition to an enemy, I was just postulating a fair activation effect of a proposed signet.

AND AGAIN.
I never said the fight was broken. You really need to stop putting words in my mouth.
The third time I tried it party comp:
My Zerk armor/soldier’s trinket ele
Boon Guard
Heal Guard
2nd Boon Guard
Knight/iirc zerk trinkets? Guard

What ended up happening here was that we had gotten her to phase 2, and we were very slowly wittling her down. Then, as I ran to get sparks I was petrified, our tear thrower unpetrified me, spark aggro’d on her, she ran the spark to the middle, I ran the other spark, (the three at the front of the room had been successfully brought back) and when I had gotten the fifth spark to the statue, it aggro’d on the running back tear thrower, and thus slowed us down and brought her back to her 1st phase.

Our knight/zerk guard had to go (he was in the middle of a separation from his wife and was leaving the country the next morning, so he had no choice), we brought in another person, a guardian boon build friend of ours. He had a lot of experience with the path, we attempted, we couldn’t get the damage to cancel the healing enough, without having to do it 50 or so times, our group gave up.

Anyway, circumstances can prevent progress on this fight. The fight is not broken. Generally, from what I can tell, not bugged. For it to be done easily and effectively however, requires at least a little bit of DPS, in our case, our Knight/zerk guard. I don’t really consider my ele a power house, but I suppose that bit of DPS helps?

Also TBH my ele used to run around in sentinel’s/soldier trinkets before I got my zerk. I never could take on a Cursed Shore Vet with daggers even until I got my zerk gear.

There is not a DPS check. The problem for the most part is when people don’t know what to do. Stop complaining about “DPS checks” and bugs.

There is a DPS check, in some cases. My third time doing this path I ran with 4 boon guardians and my ele. Despite getting the sparks into their spots, we could never do enough DPS to cancel her healing, despite how quick we were with the sparks. I’m not saying you have to be full Zerk, but if none of your members is DPS spec’d even a little, problems can arise.

No, there is no DPS check. The problem is pulling the Sparks too slowly. Her healing is also very low compared to what it was at the start of the game. The fight is about organization, not DPS.

“Organization”. Listen, I know what happened in my group with the 4 guardians. I had completed the fight prior to this day. The 4 guardians were 4 of my best friends in the game. We were in mumble. We were organized. We literally did not do enough damage to cancel the healing that she was able to do in the 5 seconds it took us to bring the sparks to their cages in phase 2.

I would appreciate it if you stopped acting like you know everything there is to know about every group and every player who attempts this fight.

Considering I’ve done this fight close to 100 times with groups ranging from killing Simin in 2 phases with massive DPS to the fight being drawn out due to condition Necros, support Eles, and bunker Engis in the same group, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what the fight entails.

1. Put Simin in the corner, 1 person handles Tears
2. DPS
3. 2 people pull Sparks, the remaining 3 stay in the corner
4. DPS
5. Continue

This strategy will and has worked each time for me, aside from my first time in the dungeon due to people leaving and my group not being able to find replacements.

I never said you didn’t know the fight. I’m saying you don’t know every group or the situations that may arise. You must have some semblance of DPS, or at least not fully supportive builds, for this fight. If you don’t, it can take hours because you’re literally only knocking off her health by, I don’t know, 1/30th of her total health at a time?

Like I said, and I’ll repeat myself. I believe that you’re God-mode 1337 at all things Arah 4, but that does not mean you know everything about all groups, all party comps, all player style, etc etc.

It’s just weird, because if you’re in the bubble, and you summon a pet, in my case, an ele pet, it doesn’t even have to touch the bubble to die. It just dies.

No, it isn’t a game breaker. But it is genuinely weird.

Nretep.2564:

@OP
I’d prefer a general rework of ooC movement. Make it independent from all the said effects (exc swiftness). So all those effects (signets, engineers’ and warriors traits) would only affect incombat. This would also grant other classes the possibility to not use the signet as default.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

A signet that gives a condition to opponent/a single* boon to you and allies active and a passive movement speed i think is fair for mesmers, though.

You pretty much don’t know the Signet of Inspiration.

When activated, doesn’t the signet of inspiration give all of your current boons to your allies? My reasoning for the “A signet that gives a condition to opponent/a single* boon to you and allies active and a passive movement speed” was because I thought that the signet’s activation gives all your boons to allies.

Still, since these signets only give a single passive bonus, ie, movement speed, a new signet like signet of air, the hunt, the locust, rather than adding this perk to an existing signet, seems to me to be fair. Am I wrong in saying that mesmers getting a signet that gives 25% movement speed + a random boon every 10 s is more powerful than say, a single signet that merely gives movement speed?

Very interesting. I’ve been told that the crafted exotics, like pearl ones, give a lower chance of producing a precursor. In your experience, was that generally the case? Or was it sort of up in the air, and random?

Can you provide a link to where they have confirmed that the stat will replaced by another stat?

While I support all classes gaining a signet like Signet of Air, the hunt, the locust, etc etc, I do not support making Signet of Inspiration that much further OP. For instance, Signet of Air on ele gives 25% movement speed passive and active a simple blind and stun break (SB is new, and kind of nice). Signet of the hunt only gives the movement speed and a pets next attack more powerful. Signet of inspiration gives a ton of stuff.

A signet that gives a condition to opponent/a single* boon to you and allies active and a passive movement speed i think is fair for mesmers, though.

Very interesting.
For the record, despite not being in a pug group, our DPS was crap and it did take us 2.5-3h to get to Simin.
On the bright side: if your theory is correct, maybe this post will get a dev’s attention and they’ll look into it!

Because people keep ignoring the pattern that the amount of time it takes to GET TO HER, might actually have something to do with why it breaks?

Siphaed.9235:

A bummer, sure, but they are in no way entitled for said achievement(s).

I never said people are entitled to these achievements. But honestly if you’re going to be kitten about a second loading screen to be able to play the way you want to, I don’t think there’s anything else anyone can say on the matter.

Chryzo.8906:

Lilith, guides are old and can be found on the forum regarding arah. It’s just that the stupid search engine of the forums sux big time. Atm, dunno why, it actually search only through the first pages’ thread… not the whole 12 months or so of posts.

Yeah, why is that? When are they going to fix that?

As for Arah, I’m good with simply doing paths 1-3 nowadays until the dungeon reward system is changed. I don’t really have the DPS to run p4 effectively, but that one time I did run it and succeed, I used google search as the forum’s search is so…. well… bad. I first tried the topic +forum-en.guildwars2.com. Couldn’t find much useful, and then just randomly found the wordpress article that mainly just described the 2 phases.

Anyway, I think this will become more of an issue once the dungeon reward system is revamped, because hopefully more people will have more reason to run it.

It’s a toss up, I think. It’s possible that they increase majorly in value due to stat change or some other value. It’s also possible they decrease entirely in value and any investment is lost. Until more information is released it is all speculation.

There’s a time constraint that I think is only really relevant in cases like cof p1. The same path run twice in the same hour is screwed by an accountwide DR, which will lessen the tokens. This has only happened to me in CoF. I have done TA up on two different characters, with ~45 mins between the end of the first run and the end of the second and got 60 tokens on each toon.

Crazylegsmurphy.6430:

That said, I’m going to address your list:

A player does not need every achievement in the game.

A player does not NEED to play this game at all. We WANT to play this game and that is a big distinction. We’re not getting paid to play this game, we choose to because we enjoy it. To say we don’t need something is pointing out the obvious.

A person is not forced to do content they don’t want to do, save for by their own will.

Of course, so what is your point? Again, this game is something we want do to. If there is no desire to play the game (get the achievements set out by ANet) then why waste time? Your argument makes no sense, because my own will is an important enough reason.

Achievements are rewards for accomplishing content completion within the game.

Of course they are, and most people have no problem doing them. The problem, as I said above is that when the rewards are tied to a timeline, players must start assessing time vs. reward.

If the reward doesn’t justify the time required, then players will look for alternative ways of accomplishing the goal. They will take the easy route.

Achievements are EARNED, not handed out.

Again, most players are perfectly willing to earn their own achievements, because they enjoy playing the game. However, again…you’ve completely neglected to put this into context.

Achievements are not a requirement, only a want by personal/self reasoning.

You’re repeating yourself. Lets put aside the fact that this is a want, and not a need for a moment.

Achievements ARE a requirement. If you don’t gain achievements, you will not get the latest and greatest rewards. If you choose not to, or are unable to complete a task, you run the risk of missing out on the reward.

The closer to that reward players get, the more desperate they become. They see the clock ticking down, and they see the amount they have ahead of them. They start to feel that if they don’t find some way to get the rewards (within the time they can, or feel they can dedicate to it), then all they have done to that point has been, in some ways a waste.

This is not a hard concept to understand.

Take university for example. People want educations. The university sets out achievements you must earn, but puts a time limit on them. As you become more financially and emotionally involved, the more at stake you have to lose if you don’t complete it.

This is why students are super stressed. They want to graduate, they want the achievements, and some…not able to complete them will resort to cheating, corner cutting, and/or otherwise cheating the system to earn it.

So, you need to understand that the reason that people are complaining is because they are faced with a new dilemma every two weeks. How do they accomplish the goals in the game that they have chosen to play, and what hurdles do they face?

Make sense?

Absolutely agree with this. I often find myself not doing much of the Living Story because it isn’t the part of the game I enjoy. However, people who are semi-OCD or don’t want to miss out on certain achieves and rewards, for instance lets say, the gift of quartz, which may have much more significance in the future of the game than it does now, are being pressured by the fact that these things are available for 2-4 weeks and if you are a casual player, this is not always doable.

Because so many of the achievements are not requiring that you win the game but that you play as it is intended (crystal picking up in Sprint) and participate occasionally, Anet is addressing this. That being said, if a group of people in an arena are selfless enough to let others win so that they can get the achievement/title, kudos to them. That’s good karma, (real karma) and that’s a nice thing to do for someone who struggles with PvP like arenas, such as Mario Kar- Sanctum Sprint, and Aspect Arena. If you enter an arena and the people there are doing this, just leave and enter a new one. Not every single one is doing this, but let the people have their fun. If a group of 12 people are attempting to get everyone the achieves, those are 12 people who are working together and who approve of this method. Just because you do not does not mean everyone else is wrong.

They haven’t told us yet, but they did say they were going to make it so it is as smooth a transition as possible. Some theories are that the stats are going to change, others are that these items will be salvageable for account consumables. But ultimately, we don’t know yet.

Ah, then that!

And they would have gotten away with it too… >.>

I do love that hound. If my ranger had one I’d name him Scooby.

You can buy it on an 80 and transmute it to lower level gear? If you have the stones, anyway.
Edit: Make sure the gear you transmute it to is of white rarity, I hear that it will not become account bound otherwise.

While I totally agree, I was much more broken up about Sieran. sniff why are they so awesome?! Why do we have to love them?!

If it is in fact available from the WvW vendor you can find them when you immediately enter your BL (citadel WP) and go straight to the dome where the laurel and weapon vendor reside.
Reason I can’t say for sure is because I’ve never heard of it being available from this vendor, so… ? yeah. Hope that helps.

This is a big problem, I think. Mainly for mesmers, but I know anytime I try to summon an elemental or my Asura golem, despite already being in the bubble, they die instantly. It might be a bug, but if it is one it has been going on for a long long time with no fix. I wonder if it also happens to necro minions?

Other than your #4, which can vary with either depending on your playstyle, I think Guardian and Warrior would be your best bet. They’re both fun and easy to level, and can do several things solo. Personally, I enjoyed leveling Guardian more than Warrior, but really either would work, I think. If you want a challenge, level an elementalist. That was difficult for me to level solo.
Bear in mind that these are just my opinions. If you like a mage type but ele isn’t your thing, mesmer might be good!

Waikd.4632:

So I would therefore encourage you to look at levelling up as a side effect of just having fun ingame.

This here I absolutely agree with. It took me, 2 months of casual play to get to 80, but that’s ultra casual play of my elementalist. It was a really fun time, exploration and learning the game is likely what got me hooked in the first place (along with a great guild!).

Edit: As for servers, all servers have their upsides. Anvil Rock iirc is mainly a PvP server, Tarnished Coast is the unofficial RP server, and Sanctum of Rall, Black Gate, Jade Quarry are all excellent WvW servers (Though I do love my Tarnished Coast WvW )

You can do, say, TA paths up, f/f, and f/u on one char and get 180+ tokens. You can do TA paths up and f/f on 2 chars each and get 240+ tokens. If you repeat a path on the same char you will get 30, 20, 10, or 5 tokens, depending on the time it takes. (assuming it is before the daily reset)

What AntiGw said.
I main an Asura ele and I love it immensely. I do some amateurish PvP, WvW, but I’m mainly a high level fractal and dungeon runner. It’s all fun with an ele!
Ele was tough to level for me, but as it was my first that may have been the problem. Nourishments are super handy, and if you can get your hands on some EXP boosts or killstreak EXP boosts you can level very quick in low level areas. Also, always gather and mine and chop wood. Revive NPCs. All these things give EXP.
As Anti said, use nourishments! When I start a toon I always use applesauce and rough sharpening stones, and use that extra +20 exp, not sure if it speeds it up that much, but it must help somewhat!

mmm TA up maybe? Can be done in 20mins. (Thats my best time, anyway).

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Who? What?

TBH I only watch videos for JPs, like I said. On my second attempt at this path, I succeeded, and that’s over and done with. There are plenty of people who watch videos of this path (including some of my teammates from the first attempt) and still had problems.
Look, I don’t understand why you’re trying to start something with me, I made a joke in my first post and you jumped down my throat. I was simply trying to help OP, not trying to insult you or start anything.

I also thought this to be a bug when I first attempted Arah p4. What I fouund in my second attempt was that it isn’t bugged, but is the boss mechanic.
I have never seen on these forums a person actually explaining how to do this boss. It makes me feel like there is some secret society (tin-foil hat) which is trying to prevent people from completing this path, and thus not getting the dungeon master title.
So here goes:
Simin will invuln and stealth at 50% every time, unless you manage to get the sparks into their spots before she heals above ~60%.
Now, you’ve likely heard something like this before, but it’s really important that people understand what I’m saying.
Phase 1: doesn’t matter how quick you are or what your dps is, she will invuln at 50% and that is that. If you manage to get the sparks in quick enough to not let her heal above 60% you enter into phase 2.
Phase 2: You must have DPS and be coordinated for this. If you do not DPS her down to say 40% you still have to get the sparks into their spots when she goes invuln before she heals to 60% health. If you manage to do this, she will stay in phase 2, if you don’t, she will return to phase 1 and you must do it over again.

This is why everyone says it is a DPS check. If when she enters phase 2 you are able to DPS her down to say 25-30% health you have enough time to get the sparks into their spots, pretty much regardless of the circumstances. If you lack the necessary DPS, which my first group did and second group nearly did, it is almost impossible to do this, or is excessively slow going, as in my second group.

This is not a bug. This is a boss mechanic. I get that you’ll say “But every time at exactly 50%-”
But it’s every time at exactly 50% if you did not manage to get the sparks into their spots before she heals above 60% health.

You probably want to look at the videos I posted instead of making comments about tin-foil hat societies not wanting people to complete the path.

That was mainly a joke, I see you have no sense of humor.
My point was I could find no written explanation on the forums, I finally found one on a random wordpress article, which enabled my team to finally beat this boss.

Edit: I also don’t find videos helpful, especially while in a dungeon. My computer is mega awful, having youtube up while in a dungeon will just lead to a DC.

Second Edit: I just now saw your post (from 3 days ago), but when I couldn’t find an explanation on this forum 2 months ago, you have to admit no one was saying a word on this forum of how exactly to do it, thus that feeling of no one saying a word.

You can always watch a video guide before you go into a dungeon. Strife had one on his channel quite some time ago.

Who the heck is strife? I don’t know people who play this game other than those I run with.
I don’t normally watch videos for dungeons or anything other than JPs. Dungeons are usually straight forward enough to figure out, this path however, at this fight in particular, I did need outside help to figure it out, and seeing it written out was more helpful to me than I think watching a 5-10 minute video of people doing it.

It is possible, I guess that it was literally bugged. However, I know that I was having this same problem until I found the wordpress article that explained it, and then we were able to eventually get her down. What happened to us at first was that, we got the sparks back really really quick, and we had a few seconds (i think like 10s maybe, but i’m not positive) to DPS her as much as we could. We didn’t DPS her all that much, and when she went invuln we were too slow on the sparks the second time, so she reentered phase 1, and we had to get the sparks back before 60% again. The second try was the charm, though, and we were able to DPS her to 40%, and it took us till she was healed to about 50% to get the sparks back in, and then we got her to 30% health, then to 20, then 10, and nearly lost it again due to myself, a spark runner, being petrified right at the end. (You can imagine me screaming my head off in mumble).
Anyway, like I said it is possible it bugged out, but I think it is a little more likely that you got her to reveal before 60%, didnt DPS her enough, and then didn’t bring the sparks in quick enough the next try, thus resetting her phase. Regardless, I know this encounter can be super frustrating, especially since when you get there, you know you’re almost done with one of the longest paths in game. If it was actually bugged, that stinks!

Edit: When you do finish finally, you might be ecstatic. I however, along with my poor little pink Asura, was frustrated, angry, and didn’t want to play again for at least 2 hours. Proof is in the picture haha.

Dropping by to say:
Don’t let the enemy see her bleed, because she’s never failed a mission!
I like the idea of this guild. Good luck!

That makes sense, but perhaps that fee could be counted in the cost of the item itself. Maybe not for a permanent one, but for a single use, I can imagine those things going for 100-200 gems apiece, that is certainly enough of a gold sink in itself to warrant the removal of the additional, nearly insignificant fee of 3.5s.

The fact that the majority of you have STILL not figured out that this is a parody post, despite the OP clearly pasting the original post, makes me question the intelligence of the player population here.

I’m going to go ahead and agree with this.

Please Anet? Please?

The Asura starting armor, for female and male, are not ridiculous like this at all. However, you would be hardpressed to find an abundance of feminine armors for our poor Asura. Anyway, my point is, she could roll and Asura! (Or a Charr, I think, for that matter…)

Yeah the Phoenix set is gorgeous …. on humanoids.
:( At least give us cute shoes!!!!

You have to do all Exp paths and all story paths of every dungeon. Unfortunately at the moment there is no way to tell which paths you have done, but usually the ones you have done are the easier ones of each dungeon, so I know most people need AC p2, TA p f/u, SE p2, CoE p2 or p3, CoF p3 and Arah p1 or p4. Those might help you get started.

There are harder paths in CM but at the moment i can’t remember which paths were hard.

Doooo itttt anettttttttt

Plus you get a cute charr or quaggan! Yay!
