Guild Wars 2

This is actually a solid idea, having more chat options in a social MMO is always a good thing. +1

Don’t play practice arenas, especially if you’re new. The matches are terribly imbalanced with people leaving and joining as they please. You’ll do much better just playing unranked arenas with set 5v5 teams, learning rotations, what the meta is in terms of builds, when to engage and when to run etc.

Trust me, unranked arenas may seem intimidating, but they’re a godsend when compared to the cluster**** that is hotjoin.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

2) gold can be sent freely between accounts without the time or quantity limits the game now has and the 500 gold limit/week being suggested.

I believe the limit being suggested is 500 gold per single item of mail, not per week.

I have absolutely no idea what PU or the Veil is, but logically, if you can do it ONCE in 3 seconds, then you would only be able to do it TWICE in 8 seconds, because you would need 9 seconds minimum to be able to do it 3 times

Hopefully some kind soul will come along and tell me what I’m talking about LOL

PU is Prismatic understanding, a mesmer trait that increases the duration of all stealth on the mes by one second, along with giving him random boons when he enters stealth.

Veil is a mesmer skill that drops a line on the floor that any player can cross to gain 2 seconds of invis, (or 3 with PU trait)

Op was wondering why he can’t cross the veil 3 times for a 9 second invis uptime.

I doubt anet will be adding new content to the base game alongside an expansion. The most you can hope for is a few balance changes/qol improvements like no condi cap.

Probably when hell freezes over.
Seriously though, even though this is very frequently brought up, anet has yet to comment one way or another on the issue of ascended salvaging. So don’t hold your breath.

Lots of new members been joining lately, come try us out if you enjoy fast runs and an active gchat.

Still recruiting

Bump! Still recruiting!

Still looking for more members ^^

The reason ranged weapons are typically weaker is because there’s a tradeoff in terms of safety. Ranging is safer so it should yield less returns. Meleeing is more dangerous so it should be more profitable in terms of damage dealt. The way it works now is fine, there is absolutely no reason to change it.

Edit: reread OP’s post, I think the 1 minute it takes to get level 2 is a small price to pay…

google “gw2 gone wild” on reddit to see some of the funny nudity bugs that came from putting on the wrong armor textures

Yeah, it’s definitely allowed, though I don’t imagine it’s very engaging :>

Doubt it’ll happen. IIRC, the dev responsible for it got in trouble for his interaction with players on the forums last time.

Yeah, the endless chest farm in SW is definitely one of the most boring ways to make money, and far from the most efficient. So to OP, stay away from that zone, and let the open-world farmers do their thing : they’re helping drive down prices of t6 mats for the rest of us

I agree. While the effects on the legendary are already pretty cool, I do wish they were made more noticeable. Hopefully with all the attention on the new legendaries, anet won’t forget the old ones either

Don’t worry, the wings were on a one-day preview. Anet’s stated they’ll be back, and I reckon they’ll be back soon. As for levelling, its really quite fast in this game so don’t worry too much about it. Just explore maps, do quests, and focus on your personal story ^^

Yeah, hopefully anet brings them back. Shame to see existing content being wasted…

There’s a message at the bottom of every player-sent mail saying it’s not from anet. So it’s pretty impossible to mistake a fake mail from the real thing (which I don’t even think anet sends)

Hey man,

You sound like you’re looking for something like Tarnished Cult: we’re a dungeon-focused guild with a mix of members at all skill levels. We have many people who solo/duo and sell arah, and even duo or trio fractal 50s, but we also have members still learning all the dungeon paths and looking to get their Dungeon Master title.

The one thing we all have in common is flexibility, friendliness and a positive attitude.

Please note that we ask all our members to run zerk meta builds in dungeons, and that we are not a side guild, so rep is pretty important important to us.

Also we don’t take accept people who rage at guildies, overall we like kind, helpful, skilled players. If this sounds like the kind of community for you, check us out at our site or forum post:

See you in game!

Bump for more dungeon runners!

Still looking for more members

david.1658:

i know a few dungeons, mostly the ez ones(ac p3, TA up/fwd and probably one more i cant think of) i have level 80 guardian,mesmer, ranger(dont use during dungeons), and ele all pretty much runed. i’d like to learn more and maybe one day arah.

Sounds good! I’ll send you an invite when I get home. If you like, take the chance to check out our website and policies ^^

I look forward to running with you~

Lots of applications coming in, keep ’em coming ^^

Most likely yes. Stay signed up for the newsletter for a chance at an invite!

I agree, they should at least add an option so that we can see what we’re missing, as with the dyes. +1

Looks like it’s not a bad investment

Yes please.
I don’t want to have to keep buying bank slots for all the random goodies that the endless bags in the game shower me with.

Well it is a bass guitar, not an acoustic one. Dunno what you guys were expecting… I don’t think it’s meant to be played alone, without another musician accompanying it

You can convert laurels to money via t6 bags. You can spend them on ascended amulets/trinkets for alts. You can also buy that mini kitty that looks darn cute :P

Please, what is a leaky airship compared to a ruined city? Evon > Kiel any day of the week.

I’m not a fan personally >.> those things look hella ugly IMO

KorbenDallas.6729:

I’m doing these personal story missions omg I’m a guardian stacking vitality, toughness and healing on every piece of gear I’ve got, I have 5 healing spells including my ultimate, I told myself I’ll kill everything slow but at least I won’t die.

Omg you have 5-6 enemies jump on you fear, knockdown, fear, knowckdown, kittens you’re at 20% health pop every heal rinse repeat you’re dead.

What is this? I thought this game was about skill based combat, using dodge to avoid attacks and all that. It’s like I’m playing world of warcraft PVP versus 6 players at the same time. There is no tactic in this game except hope somehow enemies ignore you and fight NPCs then pop all cooldowns, run away, pop all cooldowns, run away.

This also happens in outdoor combat in events, hearts etc. Combat needs BALANCE.

You’re having problems with personal story missions?

I hate to say it but those are probably the easiest content in the game…
Maybe you’re doing personal story missions that are too high level for you?
Or maybe you’re not repairing your armor when it breaks? Broken armor grants no defensive bonus. Or maybe you’re forgetting to equip items in your trinket/amulet/ring slots?

As a guard, shelter is better than signet for most situations, and renewed focus elite helps a lot. Also traiting for blind on F1 helps a lot, especially in combination with the trait that refreshes f1 cooldown on every mob kill.

Existencex.9712:

appreciate it i can make all the runs and everything its just the lupi solo is gonna be the hardest

thanks fierce appreciate the info, like anything with repetition ill learn it.

If you’re having trouble soloing lupi just load up on survival utilities (defiant stance, endure pain, endurance regen signet) take greatsword axe/sword (for riposte) and the trait that returns endurance when you use burst skills.

This sets you up with a buttload of dodges and tons of invlun. Once you get the mechanics of the fight down you can start removing the survival utils one by one and replacing them with damage boosts like banner/signet/fgj to make the fight go faster.

Also, you can start with sweet dragon rolls (gain health on crit) and maybe switch to a better dps one when you get used to the fight.

Eh I used scholars on my mesmer anyway

Dub.1273:

kitten latency when you can have hentai with miku.

“hentai with miku” sounds like something straight out of my search history :^)

Bump! Still looking for more friendly people to join us on our runs!

DeviLish.3760:

Having returned only a week ago since launch I find it funny how long-time players say they do speed runs because they have done it so many times and find it boring so they need it to go fast. Basically you’re telling me you play the game even though it isn’t fun.

Kind of how a lot of the streamers look dead bored and the game hasn’t excited them in ages but they do dungeon runs that take little effort day in day out to get their reward out of habit despite the 5+ legendaries and 4k+ gold. MMO players seem to forget why they play games.

You misunderstand.
If people didn’t find gw2 fun, they wouldn’t play it.
People doing speedruns do so because it is fun for them to push for better times and efficiency, to improve dps and rotations. Different people can play for different reasons and that’s ok, it takes all sorts.

Riku.4821:

I’ll have to warn you about Locus post. Macro’ing even for the music can get you ban.

I do agree with being able to play MIDI Files, custom made or downloaded.
I mean you can put your own music library into the gw2 music folder.

I’ll keep an eye on this one.

You won’t get banned for using macros for instruments

I doubt it. It’s not like they’re changing the engine the game’s on or anything, simply adding more content. So if you can run it fine now you should still be OK when HoT comes out.

Could it be? Condi builds becoming viable? Everything we knew and loved about PvE is going to be changing? There are dark times ahead of us…

Because Karkas are some of the more annoying mob types for open-world player who are used to feeling invincible xD

Agreed, anet pls add more cute skins for my human female toons

Wow, looks like you’ve considered quite a few guilds

If you’re looking for a PvE-focused guild with several members into PvP (I personally am for example), and don’t mind the fact that we’re cross-server and so don’t wvw together, I can recommend TC, an open-to-all guild that nonetheless holds its members to certain standards.

Our main requirements are to rep us close to 100% of the time, with bank/wvw guilds allowed on the side, and to run Berserker gear in dungeons. We have a mix of players, with many experienced players soloing arah daily and newer folks who have yet to get their DM title.

We also pride ourselves on our active community.

You can find out more about us on our thread or our site at:
http://tarnishedcult.enjin.com/home
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor/150-People-who-think-PUGging-sucks-NA/first

We’re at 164 members now, yet the guild has a tight-knit feel to it.

See you in game!

Doggie.3184:

I still have 2 stacks of Evon buttons in mint condition. Evon4lyfe

Preach it, brother!

Raven.3248:

SO I joined a pug lfg zerk,p1 + 2 thief. I was ele. lol.
SO I get asked if I cant read. kitten that no 1 ever reads my kitten.
SO I say cant u skip…. noob
AND I got kicked lol…. most fun I had in awhile with gw2

The most fun I’VE ever had in gw2 was reading this informative thread.

Honestly? I’ve ran into bearbows so much I’ve become somewhat desensitized to them. But one day, when pugging the last open slot of a guild run of hotw we got something new. Something different. A clerics engineer with stacks of sigils of life.

Add to that the fact that he was acting like a rude kitten , and eating floor for most of the path and I really struggled with the temptation to kick him. Unfortunately, by the time I noticed what he was running we were halfway through, and I didn’t want us to be known as “That guild” that kicks pugs when we’re almost at the end of the path.

So we finished the path and he got the boot right before we started the next one.

Bracket: http://challonge.com/triochallenge

Anyone wanna make bets? in game gold only, of-course, since no one here would support RMT.

Would anyone take a bet with me DnT vs the field at 1:5 odds for 25g? If DnT wins I get 125g, if anyone else wins you get 25g.

I’ll take that bet.
Rooting for [Kyaa] their roster is hella impressive.

Havok.3712:

Sennar.2309:

In Gw1, if you really wanted to obtain a weapon, you was obligated doint that dungeon until you can’t get that.

This contrasts most ironically with your sig. Since you like GW1 dungeons so much, maybe you could keep playing GW1?

I have a joke for you

Q: How do you know someone’s a gw1 player?
A: They’ll tell you.
