Reroll to Revenant

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

I am going to level, but use my level 30 booster and start from there. I want to do my personal story and slowly learn every legend and weapon, learn my traits, utilities inside and out. I also will be skill point hunting so I can get everything possible for traits and utilities.

I am casual but also a veteran player so I usually get 5-6 levels a day with some crafting thrown in time to time..

Should gem store skins be free to apply?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I believe you only get one time free to apply, otherwise it would be too much of a free for all and would devalue their transmutation charges they also sell in the gem store.

*rant* extremly bad rng luck?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

My RNG luck is so bad, this year at PAX I bought a Hallmark “I’m sorry” card, adressed it to Zomorros c/o Mayani with a note inside apologising for whatever I did to make him angry, and to please stop eatin my rares.

I gave it to one of the dev team working the Corsair Booth.

Sounds like something I would do. I bet it got a few chuckles and is sitting somewhere on display at their office.

Like others said insta 80 will only give so many skill points. You will not be able to unlock all traitlines as things currently stand. This is a concern for all other professions. People get x profession to 80 then park it till HOT releases, assuming they can log in and max out their elite. However if you speced in multiple traitlines and utilities you are going to be short

Gem conversion prices

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

So lets say someone converts 800 GEMS into 150 Gold, about what the current exchange is right now. If they were to save that 150 gold for after this sale and when exchange rates goes back to normal, that 150 gold can possibly be exchanged again for more than 800 GEMs?

The market does not work like that. In order to convert gold to get your original 800 gems you will have to put in far more gold than what was paid out when you did the exchange dues to the ratios

I was really surprised they even decided to overlap it. Look at Engineer and Elementalist. Why did they think overlapping would save room on the UI for a warrior? Cmon now.

“dust off that toughness gear to bulk up and tank some heavy hits to protect the condition-build players in the back. "

Notice they mention Condition players in the back? Assuming you wont have the toughness and vitality to take any hits doing direct damage in condi gear? It sounds like they want ranged condi which sucks. What about melee condi roles?

[Daredevil] - Feedback

in Thief

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

First off I enjoy the Dare Devil. I do like the concept and the direction you want to take the Thief with this specialization. Karl you are doing great please keep up the work.

TLDR version: General consensus. Fix staff animations, staff 1-4 need more lovin, more damage modification.

Dodge as you can tell by the posts need to be re-tuned. Very clunky, especially the damage on dodge I have no idea where at times where I am going to land and actually hit a mob. Also in HOT we are fighting on cliff sides? Sounds like a recipe for disaster with Daredevils flinging off the cliffs by accident.

Elite: I assumed it would be one click, 3 actions? I don’t like multiple activate. make it a streamline one fluid sequence of attacks. I understand the range because it is in your face melee attack.

The Truth About the Berserker Meta

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

This game even before launch was advertised as being skill based.

People are still affixed to the older MMO where you are an equipment dependent class. Your gear will not carry you in GW2. It will however help. You need good skills, a solid build, know all your weapons, traits , utilities and when to use them. Play smart, work well with your team, synergize etc..

Throwing a inexperienced player in Zerk gear and expecting them to be is amazing DPS speed clearing machine is the equivalent of putting someone inside a Lamborghini who does not know how to use a stick shift and clutch.

Instanced Raids Confirmed [merged]

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

We have already seen in the silverwastes that a good consistant Regen and Good support is needed for success while Full Zerker Maps can easly fail because they have not covered all Anets roles only providing 80% damage 10% CC , 10% support .

I have never been to silverwastes (possible returning player). Can you go into more detail about why full zerker maps often fail at silverwastes? I’m keen to understand what anet have done to make it require diversity.

The Mobs on that map stack conditions on you, along with events that put conditions on an entire area. the mobs hit hard and have alot of different abilities that can CC you. In Zerk gear if your not careful its easy to get outnumbered, run out of dodges and get so many conditions on you, that they melt your face.

How about the crafting stations that will be collecting tears? As Berserker players, red in the face, feverishly try to craft another set of armor while grumbling under their breath that their pew pew meta got tossed to the curb. I can’t wait to see the pile of discarded Berserker armor sitting outside the raid entrance.

How many of you been brought by Angry Joe?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

Who is this Angry Joe guy? Is he in a POI i missed?

Angry Joe is a popular Youtuber who primarily focuses on game reviews of all platforms. He is well known for giving a straight forward no BS reviews of a game, and rates it. He also tell consumers if it is worth the price to buy. He also does some funny satire, skits in his videos

Joe played a lot of MMO’s and gave GW2 a 10/10 with his seal of approval back at launch. What is funny is if a game sucks or has aspects of the game that suck he will let you know and does not hold back “hence why he is known for being angry at times” He also reviews horrible games and tears them to shreds. He has a healthly amount of viewers so his opinions weigh heavy with the community. I know he has saved me some money in the past on some games I was on the fence on. I watched Joe since around 2011-2012

His Guild Wars 2 review has over 3 million views and over 69k likes.

People use Meta for PVE. Why?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

Meta’s refer to all aspects of the game, it is not limited to one area.

People try to combine the best equipment, stats, runes/sigils, consumables, traits, weapons, rotations, utilities. Then try to create a rotation that results in max “x” like DPS or conditions on a Golem. Do the math, check the results and tweak, retweak, rethink and mull over things like what synergies with X rune and x trait using this equipment.

I find it fascinating, however it is not my thing to do. That’s why I am subbed to the best You tubers out there that do all the work and dedication of creating the meta, along with guides. Hats off to them.

Also keep in mind the slightest change to a particular profession by Anet via a nerf or even maybe a buff can throw a wrench in your entire build and then you have to re adjust things. Sometimes minor tweaks, other times scarp the entire build

I would like encounters like this:

-Mobs trying to get from point A to point B to trigger something catastrophic, players must cc them for x amount of time.

-Mob must be burned down by X time or it multiplies/triggers something horrible.

-Fail certain areas the entire raid gets one shot wiped.

-Raid is not 100% on killing. Involve puzzles, traps, masteries

Returning Player - Few Questions

Linfang.1087

You need 500 to craft Ascended , you also need to collect and refine dragonite, empyreal and bloodstone to make vison crystals. The process is time consuming and expensive, but Ascended is account bound and transferable between characters . It is also the highest tier you can get in game (alongside Legendary, same stats). The recipes can be purchase using laurels.

I use this guide to level up crafting

ArenaNet Self-Publishing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Linfang.1087

Linfang.1087

NCSoft was Publisher, Anet was a developer. The Publisher in most cases is the boss, setting deadlines, criteria and have a major influence on what direction they want the game to go via gem pricing, items, expansions etc.

Self Publishing is like being self employed. You are your own boss. You still have to run a good business to stay afloat but you have more liberty in what you want to do with your project, which is positive because now they (and us) will be able to create more exciting things WE want, not what a publisher standing over you wants to do best to make their Q4 numbers look good.
