Guild Wars 2

interrupt the heal

mantra of distraction is great

i completed it in what felt like a timely manner with only one other person and it was fun. it was also our first time in there and we were both unaware of what would happen. it was exciting and not tedious at all

the most challenging part was the champion fire elemental

also if you click where the revive button will be you’ll automatically revive when the timer is up

while we’re at it, why not allow chat to continue logging even while in character select? i feel uneasy while switching characters because if anyone whispers me i won’t see it

axe auto-attack chain is more powerful than a half strength hundred blades and doesn’t root

as was the case in guild wars

i enjoy the game too much to focus on making gold

in my testing i concluded that rune of speed’s 6 piece bonus does not stack with swiftness in and out of combat

But warriors can’t spam Flanking strike.

My Warrior can.

backbreaker W/A?!

temporary content is interesting and memorable

have everyone on your team equip a sigil of nullification

a lot of the current meta can be countered with boon hate

asura can’t grow hair
they’re wearing wigs

get the candle in the first area with the swamp

-play it at level 1
which means not accepting the first quest reward
which means having a giant shield in your face the entire time
-play with the UI off
-play with a low camera

best thread for some good laughs

death would become desirable

is no one considering the possibility of a new kind of ore being introduced in expansion packs

duels are boring

i always have it on, and wish i could hold down shift to temporarily turn it off for certain moments

big deal

If a game ends in a tie, then it looks at the total player scores for the teams.

So in the above example, the red team had a higher player score total than the blue team, so red won.

that’s a really bad system

How is that a bad “system”? That seems perfectly fine for hot-join. It’s all for glory farming anyways.

is this bait? what is there to farm glory for?

oh no i saw him too
that means hundreds of people were laughing at me on stream

perhaps you didn’t realize that decoy’s stealth works even while revealed

the best part about guild wars 2 is that you can always come back and it’ll be there waiting for you. no sub, no obligation to play, just fun

i wanted Pokey for my warrior but settled on Golem

Mystic.5934:

I was under the impression these non-torch illuminating items didn’t work in the EB JP anymore? (such as Mad Memoires)

only when using a mystic fountain’s invisibility effect

why would you gauge something by the amount of people who use malware

the only reason they are this way is because they’re at the bottom

i’d prefer being able to choose where the pop-up appears

how about 22.5

if you need a dungeon finder then maybe you ought to reflect on why you play this game

finishing doesn’t care about line of sight

if you learn more from watching than playing then you’re not trying different things

i was expecting mesmer’s scepter to be mentioned here
the auto attack is a chain and goes faster the closer you are to your target

a lot of unnecessary calling out in your post
go to gw2lfg and look at arah story mode
i see 3 groups looking for people right now

i made a ranger just to have a siamoth pet

this thread is essentially a petition to add pointed ears for humans

players, mesmers included, get revealed if they do any kind of direct damage that is not derived from an illusion. note that mind wrack and cry of frustration will reveal you

decoy is a unique stealth ability because it will always cloak you regardless of being revealed; an effect that normally makes one immune to stealth. but you can still be revealed out of decoy’s stealth just the same

either you started a finisher before you had quickness or quickness faded before you completed finishing

i made a gif because i was confused

and now i’m more confused

only the norn mesmer (right) has phantasmal haste

at first it seems the charr is faster (no phantasmal haste) and then it seems like the norn catches up? it is so inconsistent

That can simply be explained with a tad-bit of network lag. You only need a small amount to cause a test like the one you made the gif of to become really crazy really fast. The only reliable way to test this sort of thing is what I did: fraps it and count the frames.

Additionally, swordsmen happen to be one of the 2 phantasms that are completely uneffected by phantasmal haste.

the way swordsman is said to be completely unaffected is why i tested and made that gif, and i guess that is exactly why it’s so inconsistent

edit: that is to say, you’re right

also, another gif for a second sample. same situation

if you have stealth and decoy and one ends before the other, you will no longer appear to be transparent but you remain invisible to enemies.

a fun way to test this is to use any stealth skill then use the mystic fountain in the obisidian sanctum. this can be used to your benefit; i find opaqueness to be advantageous while making precision jumps and being invisible makes it all the better.

also, you will always become revealed if you deal direct damage while stealthed that doesn’t include an illusion. mind wrack and cry of frustration will reveal you, and i’ve found mirror blade and winds of chaos to be notorious of unexpectedly revealing you due to their nature of being bouncing projectiles

there was a time when it wasn’t actually affecting the attack speed of certain phantasms

The only Phantasms it didn’t affect were iDisenchanter and iDefender. It affects them now. However, that one was attributed (by players) to be intentional as the two that were not affected were utility Phantasms, not weapon Phantasms. ANet fixed it while nerfing our profession.

yet every other illusion and phantasm trait/signet/whatever affected them

also it wasn’t affecting the swordsman and the mage, and the warden’s attack speed was ridiculous

there was a time when it wasn’t actually affecting the attack speed of certain phantasms

defender is good if you equip signet of illusions and stack toughness

i forgot that Orb of Light also uses the 2nd animation

every race has two animations available when using the staff auto-attack skills Winds of Chaos, Necrotic Grasp, Water Blast, Chain Lightning, and Stoning.

but Charr and Asura only use 1 of them, and the 2nd can only be seen when using Fireball.

you’ll notice the projectiles; they’re high for the first animation and then low from the second animation, but the charr repeats the first one.
