Guild Wars 2

Im at fractal 78 with no ascended armor

well I think you need to get a hit in on their hp since they have very little hp after the cc bar is broken someone else might have got it before you mate

Yes they are totaly random, so it might be good to save it and use for the last skin you need.

You do know that the only drop rate they increased was the sell loot from encryption boxes right? hence why you only get 1 key instead of 2 for each stabilitizing matrix now.

Sinbold.8723:

PvE’ers complained that they had to go to WvW for map completion, so loud and so often, that Anet caved. Where’s the love for us WvW players who don’t want to PvE to unlock our elite specs with our Proof of Heroics?

And don’t give me that “play your toon to unlock it” junk. Did you do all the hearts in all the zones to level up your Revenant, or did you use Tomes of Knowledge? Same thing.

Well we still have to go commune with the hero points on all our dif characters just like you have to play your dif chars to get prof of heroics same thing.

Only thing is you can get 4900 exp then switch claim a camp and boom prof chest. We cant run to the hero point on our fully maped char then switch and boom hero point on the char we want so not same thing.

Oh the only one I want is mute all minis/ harvesting tools.

Kerin.9125:

So how did you miss the warning popup you get when you add a sigil to something that doing so will make it Account Bound?

dident read and clicked ok to get the annoying pop up to go away.
aint that usualy what people do?

Turtle Dragon.9241:

The answer is Engineer, by a long mile.
There are videos of Engineers soloing practically every/any type of champ/bosses/content, except for impossible ones due to the mechanics themselves not allowing it. Example: nobody can solo CoF P1 because you need 4 people to stand in the bubbles and 1 to open the door.

There’s even videos of Engineer soloing Fractal 100 Mai Trin, Migraine(Heart & Minds Extreme Mote), or Lupicus(but this one has been done with every profession, naked, and with feet-only).

Impossible cof p1 solo you say?

Well since the other two posters seemed to miss that your the only one in said guild, I would advice you to make a ftp account invite and make it co leader so you can invite your other account back to keep said stuff.

Deleteing all chars and being the only one in a guild will most certainly disband said guild.

Its that hard to read the grey text under masteries?

Why cant your guild do more then 9 fractals a day per person.
If you want to do stuff together the daily reward limit should be a limit for you guys at all.
and you can do everything else pve wise out there aswell with the exception of raid as you state yourself.

Want to do some events go to any map hot/core together and knock your self out.
Dungeons are still there you just chose not to do them.

laokoko.7403:

I prefer Anet just use a contribution system. People who do most damage get the most rewards. Sounds fair.

If you die or whatever. It’s your lost.

That’s how it used to work, before this recent change.

It still works like that if you do no damage and only heal and revive you wont get enough contribution.

General

Supporting your allies will now contribute toward earning rewards for killing enemies and damaging event bosses. The actions listed below now cause a percentage of the target ally’s damage dealt for the next several seconds to also count toward your participation. In addition to that, damaging an enemy’s defiance bar will also grant you some participation toward receiving rewards from that enemy. In order to discourage AFKing with boon-applying auras, you must still be actively attacking targets to receive rewards from them.

Coulter.2315:

So if you die on The Shatterer you now cannot play for the next 15mins? Good plan.

No. You get rezzed, like I’ve lobbied for all along.

Want to answer this aswell, oh you get rezzed you say what if the person rezzing you dies aswell?

Do the third person try to revive?
What about when 10,20,50 persons lay there dead, do they still not waypoint out?

Dont spend gold on armor.
Play the game, get the materials yourself and craft it mate

Daddicus.6128:

Harper.4173:

The change made does not mean they want you to res people and not ressing them and them doing a WP out is an exploit – the change means that the alternative to WP out – ressing them – now rewards those who do it.

Just because two options are possible doesn’t automatically mean one is exploiting.

The change means they are rewarding rezzes. They charge us for WPing, and reward us for rezzing. That clearly means they want us to rez people, or at least lean that way.

Yes they want us to revive downed players that we can get up safely.
They still want fully dead players to waypoint since its a risk to revive them and they are in the way when trying to revive the easy downed ones.

smashgodlight.6584:

Well what i mean is why they don’t adding more points on the infusions for ex instead of having +4 power you will have like 200 or little bit more . Just to show the difference???

Becouse they dont want people to have to craft said infusions to be competetive in wvw mate.

Just be glad that you dont have to and go with the +5 or +7 for your fractal needs.

Dragon.8762:

ANet! Please continue to post what your working on next or planning to implement next/ more often. Working on things in secret all the time is giving a lot of players the misconception that your not listening to them and that your game is lacking and will see no change.

Also, please explain your changes in more detail. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people make up these conspiracy stories about why your company is making “said changes” to the point where I don’t even know who to believe

I remember hearing about a PTS server in the works. Hopefully it gets released soon! Players should be able to test out changes and provide feedback before they go live. Stronger communication is whats gonna give players hope about the future and keep them excited to keep playing.

They have never said anything about a pts server and what would get tested is what can I bug out and/or earn alot of money on.
When said patch hits this wont have got reported instead gamed and when shut down What it was a bug and not intended I dident know

Daddicus.6128:

OK, thanks! I was thinking I had to have all the points in one infusion. I didn’t realize that they stack.

So, I can take the +10 I have and put it on a piece of armor. Then, when I get another one (from saving up +1s), I don’t have to pull off the 10 and up it to 11. I can just put it on another piece of armor/trinket. I get it!

I also found an article on the wiki that gives the details. (I searched for it before, but apparently wasn’t using the right keywords. Your posts helped me find it. THANKS!!!)

Yes and no mate.
You can only have +5 (upgraded to +7 if your high enough in the fractal mastery line) in armor, weapon, earrings and amulet.
You can have higher ones in the second/third slot in rings and second slot in backpiece ( they are called infused and attuned)

This might intrest you

Gaile Gray
ArenaNet Forum Communications Team Lead

Update on a Shatterer issue from Game Designer Andrew Gray:

There is an issue with the breakbar. I’m working on a fix for it, but since it will require a large group for testing I don’t have an ETA at this time for when it will go live.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Shatterer-issues-Merged/first#post5959823

and that will snowball and make all the others in that team quit to, making the ones on the winning team being forced to auto balance and lose aswell quiting in a never ending spiral.

All hoping for a better team next time.

Edit
Should just give deserter debuff making you unable to join for 10 mins when quiting and ofcourse when auto balanced you still get win if you were on winning team.

It maybe that arena net have locked certain names that they dont want you to use, atleast I would think so

Kagamiku.9731:

That’s why there are multiple pieces of armor and accessories. You can put an infusion in every one. Multiples in the accessories. To achieve 150 agony, you need two +11 infusions, three +10 infusions, and the rest are +7 infusions.

You can go abit lower if you got maxed out fractal mastery since the revive buff give +5

with to low agony you take % of hp lost.
If you done fractals up to level 20 then you should have gotten 2 rings, that will give you atleast 10 ar 14 if you can buy the +7 infusions.
Even more if you got infused and if you can attune.

That should hold you up to atleast lvl 25 and even 30 if you can heal yourself some shout warrior or mantra heal mesmer for example.

Edit
I got106 from back 7/10, 2x earing 7, amulet +7, 2xrings +7/10/+10

well the wooden beam allowed people to do it with very low ar, I know a friend who did it with 55 ar for about a month.

The tree you cant really do the same since he will throw axes into the group were ever you stand.
And if group got enough ar your better of doing the fight normaly anyway.

Im not sure but I think you need to do all 3 preevent paths they spawn diffrent eggs.
So if you keep doing cobalt only you wont get any more

Cryshal.4036:

I checked my NCSoft account and it doesn’t even list GW3 or Heart of Thrones. I did find a way to email them with my information, so I will follow through with that.

Are you from the future how is GW3? sorry couldent resist

Check around at third party retailers like amazon you will find it cheaper then 50€

Edit
When did you buy the game since your first ever forum posts are today

Hence why I only do the two participation matches needed for daily. ( even if i win 2 i wont go for 5 wins with that buggy system)

Next year can you switch back to 5 participation and 2 wins like last year instead of the reverse now?

Healix.5819:

Until contribution actually matters, there will always be a way to abuse the system. You can’t stop AFKers with simple tricks because those intentionally abusing it will simply find a way, like using a macro or running into a wall. The problem with making contribution matter however is that damage is king. Those running high personal defense or playing poorly would find that they have little contribution. It would also promote selfish play when other key roles are required. The other problem is that collecting this data, especially for a large number of players, can be expensive. WildStar for example shows a scoreboard of damage done, taken and healing after events.

Those AFKing right in your face at events are simply griefers, not because they’re AFK, but because they’re scaling up the event, meaning everyone else has to do more. AFK outside of the event, then tag at the last minute for full credit and no one will even notice.

Your statement aint true anymore mate, damage aint the only thing to get contribution anymore.

Applying boons to an ally (small percentage).
Removing conditions from an ally (small percentage).
Reviving an ally (large percentage).
Healing an ally (percentage scales based on how much healing is given).

Agemnon.4608:

What would a greataxe offer mechanically that can’t also be done with a greatsword or maybe hammer? I think some greatsword skins should be greataxes. Since we had three legendary greatswords in the base game maybe one of the HoT legendary greatswords can be a T-Rex themed greataxe with the other greatsword skin being a guitar with rifts as you swing and have pyrotechnic footsteps?

Greataxes as skins for hammers or greatswords would be good enough while introducing a whole other weaponset would create even more balancing issues.

This has already been answered several times.
What warrior needs are a 2h condition melee weapon, 2h axe could be that giving them poison, bleed, maybe even confusion and when combined with berserker burning effect.

Seraph.6145:

I agree with OP. This so-called ‘expansion’ is a scam, nothing more. There’s just not enough new content to justify it’s cost and what we got is a 2 hours of story nobody cares about, some few additional events, some lil’ part of jungle to explore and absurdly OP new classes/specializations.

Core players – like me – are in a huuuge disadvantage in PvP and PvE due to this ridiculous Power Gap. It’s basically a Pay2Win situation goin’ on right now, coz new specializations are mandatory and you gotta pay, unless you enjoy gettin’ Roflstomped, Steamrolled, Facerolled and REKT by HoT OP classes. It’s. Not. Fair! I wanna play this game and enjoy it, but this not-expansion makes it really hard for me…

Oh, and this creates perfect enviroment for elitist and toxic behavior of ‘hot’ players. Wanna go for a group content? A dungeon, raid or pvp maybe? Too bad, you can’t: ‘lol, no hot no spot! gtfo, scrub, lol!’ <—- a common reaction from 1337 players you gotta deal with as a core…

Please ANet make this patch free and don’t call your future paid content an ‘expansion’, unless it brings at least 2 new balanced classes, whole new continent to explore [Cantha or Elona], lots of new dungeons, legendary gear and a lengthy epic story! Just like ol’ times…

So a story you havent played you somehow found out noone else cares about?

You can still do dungeons and fractals just take abit more work for your to do the higher ones since you cant attune rings can you?

Ofcourse you cant raid since you dont have the expansion that the raid is located in.

Your complaining about an expansion you dont even have so why should they listen to you mate?

if they dident use any skills or move they would have been kicked.
Well maybe can stand totaly still if your ranger pet fights unsure about that.

Did you buy it from amazon in a 12/24 monthly plan?

the skin stick to the item you reskin so if you change item you get that item skin and have to reskin again.

Edit
And thats why alot of people use outfits to level then at max level reskin stuff.

I havent had a problem at all with it myself but, if its a easy fix like the moving of compact option and wont break anything else Im all far it

or use overwolf overlay and get it that way bud.

I play the game what ever i feel like wvw, world bosses, spvp, fractals, meta events hot, less now but sometimes even a dungeon or 2.
Always harvest everything i run by aswell.

Yes buy another character slot create the race you want level it up.

IndigoSundown.5419:

People asked for an alternative way to get precursors. While the elimination of the all-or-nothing RNG of the MT or random drops was the main issue I saw, it’s my guess that they thought another method would be easier and/or less time consuming.

Yea and anet never said it would be easier or less time consuming.
Infact they said the opposite dident want to devalue the precursors on the trading post already.

Atleast before next expansion hopefully

Incase you dident know we wont be getting 19 new legendarys only 16 since they dont want to bother with new underwater ones.

You made a first gen legendary they were never soulbound.
What your after are astralia the new axe, nevermore the new staff or hope the new pistol.

Those are the only ones you cant buy from trading post up to when next 3 are relased.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

If you own the expansion, you’ll be able to simply log in to the game to gain free access to upcoming Living World releases!

https://heartofthorns.guildwars2.com/game/maguuma

Saw this, but it’s not exactly clear, because the answer to #1 is yes. Will we be able to log in to tag a particular chapter if we don’t have HoT, and then get access to it later when we pick up HoT?

If not, wouldn’t they be pretty much certifying that any current players without HoT will never pick it up? I’d think they’d want to keep that door open to current players, rather than having the cost of HoT steadily rise with each LW chapter released due to having to pay to unlock them on top of finally purchasing the “expansion”.

How is it not clear, english aint my first language so might missunderstand.
But it states if you have expansion you will be able to get it by just log in to game to get free access

That to me clearly states that if you dont own expansion you wont have free access and will have to pay for it later down the road, when you get the expansion.

So get it now and dont pay for further story or hope that the reduce in price later is greater then then the cost of how ever many story episodes are released.

Yes becouse your old character was the one who learned to make that wooden sword and was at the forge getting his/her skill up.

It totaly breaks immersion that you dont have to go find someone for instance your old character or someone else who done the crafting on your brand new character.

well it was more in the way of debunking that the new legendarys had to follow the theme of the new elite spec James

might be that path are wrong so ghost eater give credit for the hodgins path have you tried running that one?

I remember people asking about one in sorrow embrace were they had to do path 3 to get credit for p1

Yea might be time to revive
www.gw2lfg.com
Since game kick you out of lfg after is it 20 mins?

I dont see the idea here only think that aint in gw2 atm is the capture the flag pvp.

Challenges against time adventures in hot zones and guild treck/rush says hello
Jumping puzzles the 30 or so we already have says hello
Optional events the game is filled with them they are called dynamic events mate orange markers on map.

Cant see how you think this game is focused on dungeons its dead and burried 6 feet under since over a year ago.

I know that its easy to glance over red stickys on top page so will nudge you to it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Searching-the-Forums/first#post4701411

As just a flesh wound says, I dont see why you have to have the crafting disciplines on the new char either just pop into the old if you need to craft something bank it and take out with the new char.

yea but aint those materials bettwen 40-60 more expensive then the 61-80 ones?
