Guild Wars 2

I willing to bet its the drops that are bugged, not the chest appearing, pretty much proving that something is wrong with either DR or loot tables, it could be items registering as incorrect quality or not looting due to bugs. In other words, everytime you see a steel or wooden chest, its not that the chest with porous bones and fur scraps shouldn’t be there, I think its that something that should be isn’t there.

Just butting in, turret skills do not give you 10% endurance, so if you’re running SD and popping hidden shot and the heal turret, you are losing out on the endurance regen.

Lord Aargadon.4135:

Don’t need to tell you how that ended.

…Because we’ll find out in a few years when we see it for ourselves?

Nah, we ended up in Orr year 1071AE, found some scrolls, blew up Arah and a Charr invasion. Unfortunately, they didn’t have waypoints back then and everyone was kinda dead, so we had to wait until re-release for someone to res our corpses.

Josh Foreman.8250:

You crazy kids breaking my maps!!!

We’re just testing your secret jumping puzzles. Raine was anticipating Gwens ghost to be on top, I was waiting for Proffessor Yakkington and Nicholas to pop up asking for 10 porous bones(ermagush is that a vampiric dragon sword in taht bag Nick?)
and I was hoping that after we jumped off, hit 80 mph while simutaneously being hit by lightning, we would end up in restored Orr. Don’t need to tell you how that ended.

I know these aren’t intended, but they definitely are jumping challenges.

1st was a pain to get too, involves a lot of jump shotting up and down cliff edges that meant death if you missed or overshot, and a tiny hole you have to jump through(ironically, I the charr made it through on the second try, but my human bud couldn’t do it to save a baby quaggan.)

2nd (3rd picture) wasn’t bad only two jumps were commonly fatal for about 6 deaths total. Took forever though, one jump you have to land on an invisible lip of an edge. But of course, it was definitely worth it. This is on top of Cathedral of Zephyrs I believe.

Both of these are in Malchors Leap and require jump shot(an engineer) or one of its bundle counter-parts from karma vendors.

Maining an engineer and thief only, Ive only expeirenced 4 of the transforms, whirlpool I believe is actually pretty good with the never-ending pull and decent dmg per pulse, I wish I could use it on land. Daggerstorm I think is a transform, is decent in some circumstances. The other 2 might be decent if they had a CD of say… maybe 40s lol?

Anyways, a simple perma boon or skill added would fix a lot of them, tornado for example, is very slow and melee, permanent swiftness or a dash skill could make it so much better when it comes to hunting down ranged. Rampage, on the other hand, is much better off than tornado, but would greatly benefit from a heal skill or quickness to compensate for its slow attacks and loss of other skills. Btw, Im mainly in WvW, so I do realize that usefulness differ greatly between pve and pvp, and should probably be split or buffed accordingly.

Personally, I dont believe they are as terrible as what I hear about them, they are just supa situational and most of the time not worth the CD. Give them a heal, one perma boon and/or a skill to compensate for each ones weakness.

Hey, if the charr never attacked to begin with, Orr would still look…amazing and not like crap…
Anyone else want to see what Orr looks like restored?

…Holy crap we may learn what heaven looks like if the charr invade that place.

Too bad the Charr are at peace with humans, we’ll never see them take over Kaineg City and plate everything in steel. Other than that, I loved the blizzards and dustorms(fractal and diessa platue), and would love to see more of these weather affects(rain and fog yes please!)

And an actual swamp that you need to wade knee deep into, not a two inch kiddie pool of a swamp in the fractals.

Clock Tower, no other can compete with it.

@Josh, are you aware that you can skip a majority of the Trolls End JP?
Its so hard to resist cheating when its a challenge just to see the ground.

Only an Engineer can get the sword kills achievement by killing rabbits with an explosive medpack.

Tip: If you’re tired of it not pulling people off walls because of the ledge, jump before it finishes channeling(you should try jumping everytime really, it helps with hills too.)

As for it not working right, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the server to register the displacement, same as treb/mortar/catapult shots, its similar to culling, so keep shooting the air where they should be.

Alrighty, do other players inspire the roles or do you just come up with this on your own? Oh! Are you RP’ing it up in Tarnished Coast? By the way, I love to read this stuff, art is cool and whutnought, but a story is infinitely better. Keep it up (:

When fighting large bosses like dragons, sometimes the camera zooms out to help see everything better, can we get the opposite to happen for us large players upon entering these areas besides resorting to my charr soilder tonic?

You can already skip the entire jumping portion inside the cave…. But yea, I doubt people would get in trouble for this, surely Anet saw this coming when they made the skill.

Yes the transform has been removed. Previously the change could cancel other transforms, since Ive never observed this myself I can’t tell you exactly what happened but I guess it would cancel things like Moa Morph or an allied Ele’s tornado.

Flamethrower cone is one, I got pretty discouraged by it initially, but my stubborness overcame it. Once upon a time as a new player I had Elixer X, which used to be very bugged, around 40% chance of failure back then and still rarely fails, which is very frustrating, its an elite that doesn’t even work, you anticipate something amazing to happen. The rifle and pistol skills tend to fail at melee range until you’ve mastered managing the camera, rifle blunderbuss used to fail occaisonally. Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Another thing, its not that the profession requires the ‘elite’ touch to use superbly, its just that a few bugs and certain aspects really discourage new players to the profession. If you’ve rolled a warrior first then go here, you are going to be discouraged by the lack of (easily obtained)heavy melee pressure and range. There is no killshot, the closest thing to it is static discharge zerker. The engi has no backstab, no stealth, no illusions, no deathshroud, no daggerstorm, and no heavy armor. The things that discourage most? We have stunbreakers that stun self, a flamethrower you are probably going to miss half your shots with the first few minutes you discover, superheavy GT kit that you will only appreciate if you were first a mark necro, traits that completely make or break your build, a shotgun in the disguise of a rifle, and only two mainhand weapons both ranged. A lot of our bad rep comes from this and the fact that in dungeons and the sorts, many of us are still learning and we are just an akward profession. Were not bad, we don’t require the elite touch, we’re just different.

The cursed shore is in the southeast corner, right next to the ghost crew if you’ve been there before. Not sure about the other.

Im just trying to make the point that it should be all or nothing, there isn’t a reason why power/prec and condi/prec based characters should get benefits, while me sitting here specced for bunker, using attrition to win fights, with low prec, power, and condi but higher healing power, I lose out on even more because Im support. I guess it would have been better to put it like this.
Damage>Control>Support=0 still

Just so you know the elixers are Asuran, as for the rifle its actually dragon themed(theres even a dragon head underneath the barre), but I guess with the whole fiery destructive nature you could confuse the two.

I once suggested it be changed to a channel skill, click to rupt, hold to pull.

Then it becomes like this
power>condition>everything else=0
You still need to consider precision+crit dmg, vulnerability, healing power(should this effect repairs?), chill(should repair take longer?), suggested corrosion(do repairs heal less? Is that fair?), suggested Rust(does it have stackcap or flat rate?), Condition removal, Confusion(does it hurt player to repair?), Weakness(should it prolong upgrades?), immobilize(should it prevent repair?) Cripple(slow player aftercast animation after finishing repair?).

Drakonhammer.2148:

I thought when DR triggers currently the player just gets less loot, rather than trash items?

You do still get loot, but at a significantly lower rate, MF gear turns to 0%, Im not sure if crafting mats rate is adjusted though.

Although Im not sure how this solves much, essentially all this does is make the bot loose out on junk and make it go to the Mforge to get rid of bound status. The only players it helps directly are those that stay in the exact same area to farm for crafting mats purely, but currently its better to farm your crafts hit DR then go farm gold to buy mats elsewhere.

guardian and rangers#2 are both AoE rupt, eles mist form, mesmers, and theifs might as well be considered too.

Haha, well when you say it like that, it just sounds silly. Last time I checked humanoids are humanoids, very similar body structure and such n’ such. Dwarves were well known for architecture, weapons, age, and of course, their fondness of ale. Norn were well known for being independant, stubborn, also fond of alcohol, and the crazy amount of strength that the Great Spirits gave individuals from time to time.

Tengu are pretty much a mystery. Similar to the dwarves and Order of Secrets, they possess knoledge of the dragons, but I can’t think of anything else outstanding that hasn’t already been mentioned.

Sure, as long that also means every player has fair access to all equipment. Just so you know Im a WvW player, after playing many many many hours of this, I only have 54% map completion, and only 3.5k kills in WvW, so in other works I don’t build to kill, I build to screw people over so someone else gets the kill.

The dwarves all got stoned so I doubt they’ll be playable. Last time I checked all but a one of the known dwarves(allied) are still flesh, any survivors are either stone dwarves or different clans hiding out who knows where. So quick summary of the dwarves, Stone Summit were almost completely wiped out, one known fleshy dwarf, most stone forever fighting the destroyers(much like the ghost of Ascalon hating the Charr), and with the tiny possiblity of hidden clans for extensions or whatever.

Tengu. Sure whatever, they might be added, I heard it was they just needed the game to ship so they cut out the Tengu, they already had the major races in. Rubbish? Well sure, but charr look horrendus in a majority of the armor, their unique body features all clip(fangs, tail, ears, and horns), norns are just humans scaled up in size, a majority of the female norn, human, and sylvari bodies designs are complete barbie doll shapes, all boobs and butt, their hands are sooooo tiny, and Asura are so small that we get occaisonal complaints of their size giving an inherent advantage over other races. Maybe the Tengu story was even more terrible than the human, norn, and sylvari. Maybe they just ran out of time and money….

Should they be? I’d say yes, maybe, they have a lot of potential for the future. Maybe we will take back their land in Cantha? Ive heard people say each dragon is anti-x race, maybe one of them oppose the Tengu. I could go on, but Im done ranting for today….

About that topic that is. Don’t bring anything to the table? Look at the norn, what did they bring? Beer and whiskey, and their drunken bodies too. Basically all they do is go kamikaze/hey lets go be drunken heros and end up killing our friends as we get possessed. As I already stated, they have potential for being one of the dragons main oppenents and the whole Cantha speculation.

Anymras.5729:

I love the community spirit here.

I kinda want to see the Engineer guild try it, and take a video of themselves harassing things.

No, harrassing is surrounding the lone survivor of a zerg and playing ‘pass the ball’ using overcharge and battering ram. Everyone on CD? Everyone uses net shot to pass the time. At least thats what I think of harassing, that might qualify as utter humiliation and torment, but hey! Its all in the name of fun.

Goodness gracious, thank you very much Teldo, and you too coglin. Thankfully the big ol bombs that you could buy in fireheart rise(for 18c a piece?! engineers aren’t cheap….) are no longer usable in WvW.

Engineers leave the best presents.

By that reasoning then I should be able to transmute my charr fur onto my human, harr harr Imma charr. And transmute my greatswords skin on my pistol.

Its not happening. By the way, your topic isnt a question.

Itd be nice just to be able to do anything with it, sell, mystic forge, even vendor it(I have 4). And seriously FKwrong? Yeah by your reasoning, lets make it so every account bound item you throw in the MF come out account bound and every food made too to avoid exploiting. The reason they put that there was so you could make money with loose karma. Even if you could TP it, the price would be very low with how easy it is to obtain.
Edit- second part is at FKwrong, not OP

For story, your gear needs to be close to your max level. That beside, depends on what you’re doing. Pve, you should probably go for bombs or flamethrower for damage and blinding. For weapons, rifle is more damaging and has plenty of control, pistol pretty pathetic unless you trait for it, but the utility is nice. Mob farming at high lvls, the easy/lazy way to go is speccing for grenadier(this alone pretty much outclasses every form of dmg engi does) and do whatever with the rest of your traits, works decent enough in dungeons. WvW grenades are fine and dandy for zerg and wall control, nothing else. Spvp, the grenadekit itself is terrible, hits slow yadda yadda.

Yes this has happened to me as well when the patch should of closed my client, but didn’t fully. As OP said you must go to task manager(or whatever equivalent you have) and end it manually if this happens for any reason. For those of you not sure if this has happened, if you start up the client and nothing happens(besides maybe a loading icon next to mouse) the client has not fully closed upon your last use. If a login message comes up stating you have not logged out, head to your account on this and go to security and end the oldest log-in activity, then try to start client.

Current I can’t play it, it shows GW2 under task manager, but when I click on the startup icon I just get the loading sign on my mouse and nothing else happens. :’(
(for me its a login issue I guess?)
Help us A-net!

Nah, they’ll kitten off to many players. Technically though they are mounts. Small cosmetic mounts Im fine with. Mounts that give you bonuses in combat and movement, no. Only reason I’d be fine with mounts is if they were part of missions and future content(Cantha/Elone) has areas designed for their use, but only a minority of the time. Ha, if a norn can ride a horse, what does a puny asura ride? Their entire body is smaller than the horses head.

I find the WvW one odd just because its obtainable in 15minutes yet its a monthly. But yeah, they both need removed. I hate having to do fractals for the monthly, I haven’t gotten monthly last 2 times because of that. WvW is pie when you have a group going, no effort really required, while fractals is bugged and a pain for those who don’t do dungeons, you need to set up a group, retrait to be effective for some, and deal with disconnects and player kicking.

Is anyone else having issues with the launcher not coming up with the patch?

Just throwing this out there, but obsidian shards if you plan on a legendary, but thats in orr too.

The only thing that people here should be ‘worried’ about, is if they decide GreKit KitRef needs to activate instantly and not travel to target when jump shotting. That is all.

Nah, heritage or CE mixed with CoF is what I run, looks good, Orr and T3 is nice, but they are thief/ranger armor respectively. Other than that, we suffer large amounts of clipping w/tail and helmet due to Anet not making sets account for tail movement and horrendus jobs at stretching the shape to fit on the charr. Example ,if you wear full AC armor it actually clips through your belly XD, and many sets clip with the head, even the goggle starter engi piece and craftable pieces

Next update: cloaking device, turrets are permastealthed….
Comments? Think of the fun we could have…if they posed a threat, put trolling is great too!

Overcharge, net shot, net turret(imob/stun)+ hidden net, supply crate(stun+1s imob from turret, freeze grenade. 100nades requires you to be in 800u to jump shot, you have to hit right on them, supply crates elite and easy dodge, net shot X2 you can strafe out of at 800u+ or easy dodge, freeze grenade strafe or easy dodge and has a nasty habit of hitting ceilings and ledges at great elevation diff, net turret 600 range but has a bonus occaisonal imobi and 2or4s stun(assuming it doesnt get hit), and of course 100nades jumpshot, easy dodge if they stunbreak right as you jump shot. All of this is pretty difficult to dodge in close quarters though. I dont deem it OP because of how easily something can get screwwed up timing wise or if you get stunned/pushed its easy for them to keep range. Just don’t use this on warrs/engis when they reflect shield….

3 built in cc if you run rifle, 2 pistol, 4-5 depending on utility, and the elite, but Im not counting that.

But if you make the unfortunate choice of trying to melee a 100nades, no cc needed :D

Hes not trolling, he may not be serious either, but look at who it is first. But no, its not OP, it takes time to set up, easily dodged, makes you pretty worthless unless you’re hiding on the sidelines.

Make sure you are testing this in both pvp and pve, things don’t always mirror between the two. Also. Don’t. Ever. Rely. On. The. Tooltip. Ever.

Side note, if stats apply/scale according to highest obtainable, does that mean we get free ascended stats when it comes around? (:

BuddhaKeks.4857:

I don’t think so. The alchemie comes from the engineers not being able to use magic and therefore having to search for a replacement. Asura are a highley magical race, I can’t see them having to rely on alchemy like that. It’s more likely that it comes from the Hylek, who are known for their potions and poisons. It was probably the Asura who refiend it later, or maybe the Charr.

…The engineer profession was born from the technoligical advancements of the Charr, who mainly shun magic(and magical elixers). In several interviews long long ago, Jonathan Sharp points out that the engi spread quickly and was ‘adapted and refined’ by all races, directly afterward mentioning elixers, he makes a reference to a certain asuran elixaholic you can find….

I wish I could find the interview that directly states that the elixer part was influenced by the Asura, but saddly I cannot. Just saying, but their unreliable nature (and birght colors!) pretty much screams Asura.

Charr are engineers lorewise, Asura are alchemist. If you go back into interviews a year ago, Anet stated that the engineer proffession got the elixers from the asura, which makes no sense because they should have just kept elixers as racials….dem mouse are jacking our proffesion….

My favorite part of the Zaishen rewards is that it brought me back to old content that was interesting to begin with. Beginner mission too easy and not rewarding? No prob, slap on hard mode and get even more rewards. Maybe we could see that added alongside?

I thought thats been in AC for awhile?

Meh, guys simply stop, its what some players want and others don’t, you won’t change anything by posting here, if anything this doesn’t belong in the suggestions but discussion forum. Currently there are no mounts. In the long run, maybe mounts will get implemented. Heavy emphasis on maybe, Anet has made comments on wanting to stay away from mounts with buffs, cosmetic is something I don’t mind. At leat if it is gems they support the devs I guess, so win there?
