Guild Wars 2

They should just give us the option of which rings we see on our side.

BG kills out 2 heads.

BG made it to 2nd phase yesterday

can’t succeed it even though we don’t have the best strategy, must be broken.

Barsimoprimo.2759:

Only one problem I see with the Marrionate, DPS is essential. They made claims about trying to shift the zerker meta but this update only reinforces it. Without high dps some platforms’ success rates plummet.

DPS isn’t important, the problem is people don’t understand the mechanics of the champ, or they think they can just stand still and autoattack it to death.

I’ve seen so many people die within 20seconds of the fight starting.
There’s more than enough time to kill the champs without a DPS build.

power main stat, so should be red.

ozmaniandevil.6805:

I have really noticed a poor trend in calling everyone who does not instinctively know how to do everything in the game, derogatory names. Not everyone is level 80. Not eveyrone has played 3,000 hours of this game. English is not everyone’s first language. I am sure there are many, many, many peolple who are intelligent and experienced with MMORPGs that can have a tough time figuring out what to do for these events, due to those reasons, if not many more reasons.

Please refrain from calling people names and being insulting simply because their level of play does not meet your elite expectations at every single moment. By doing so, you give the game in general a bad vibe and are probably, unnecessarily and incorrectly, turning off new players all together.

What are you implying?
You’re kind of doing the same thing now.

A lot of over sensitive people here.

Sick and tired of getting disconnected…..

Maybe you should be complaining to someone else.

healing sig + candied dragon roll, that on top of some good dodging is all you need.

as long as your team isn’t complete trash (low level fractals), you’ll be fine.

Yes, they’ll removed 3 more updates and somehow cram it in to the next update within the next week.

This isn’t my original idea, but due to all this Zerker talk lately, it reminded me of it.
We need incentive to run anything other than zerker since we can already give ourselves all the support we need without putting traits/stats into them (Blind/Aegis/Vuln/Might/Fury)

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1p0yjy/boon_power_the_missing_stat/

On top of that, there are conditions that don’t scale with condition damage.

Just some numbers off the top of my head.

(First Number would be the base boon/condition stat/ Second Number is assuming 1000 Boon Power/Condition Damage)

Aegis blocks next attack that deals more than x% of current health (1%/10%)
-This means players with higher boon power would apply an aegis that wouldn’t be wasted on the first random attack, but instead would only block those deadlier attacks.
Might (15power/45power) (instead of stacking up to 25 stacks, it would show how much total power is stacked)
Fury (10%/25%)
Vigor (50%/100%)
Protection (20%/40%)
Swiftness (15%/30%)
Regen scales same way as it does with healing power

Poison/Burning, on top of stacking duration, stack intensity (with diminishing returns)
Cripple (33% slow/66% slow)
Chill ( 40% / 80%)
Vulnerability (.4%/1.2%) Now increases damage dealt from conditions as well. Instead of stacking up to 25 stacks, it shows how much % more damage target takes.
Weakness (30%/60%)
Bleed, double the damage, and cut the duration in half, remove max stacks.

Your ideas on stability/fear/blind

Also, on top of this, improve combat.
Cut Mob health, cut their damage, but improve their AI, don’t let them ball up under all the AoE/Cleave thats going on from stacking.

This would make combat faster and more dynamic.

Here you go

The video you linked is useless, as you’ll see if you watch the CoE video i linked.
Path takes about 15-20 min now, not 1 hour each like he said.

you’ll have to upgrade your 2nd backpiece with the 250 ecto if you want to keep that 2nd infusion slot.

I had to do the same thing, my shiny backpiece has 750 ectos in it.

I think the difficulty of obtaining ascended gear is correct.

The problem comes when we need new gear, if it comes because we get bored of our current build, or it becomes useless with some update. Getting all that gear can go to waste because we don’t know what’s coming in the future.

There should be a way to be able to change the stats on ascended gear, not on a whim like legendaries, but for a cost.

Ex. If i have Soldiers ascended staff, I can toss that in the Mystic forge with 15 icy runestones, a lesser vision crystal and 10 globs of dark matter and you recieve a Ascended Staff Chest, which lets you pick your new ascended staff.

Some form of insurance so that all that time/money is guaranteed to not go to waste for some reason.

Same can be done with all types of ascended gear.
Ascended Offensive Ring Chest
Ascended Amulet Chest
Ascended Light Armor Helm Chest

etc.

10% chance of rarer materials.
20% chance of recovering upgrades.

If you buy an item without reading the description, it’s on you.

No refunds imo.

One part of this fractal should be removed to shorten the time down.
Either the Panel section, the section where you break the doors down, or the clown car section. Leave the final boss.

Azure.8670:

I just dont understand why ascended earrings are so hard to get. It makes no sense. Should be able to buy them with pristines, even if it costs like 30.

How are they hard to get?
The only problem is each one takes 2 weeks.
Guild missions are easy.

Might Stacks apply same amount of Vulnerability for the same amount of time.
Vulnerability Stacks apply same amount of Might for the same amount of time.

This works if you apply onto an enemy, or an enemy applies onto you.

(without 1 might turning into 1 vuln turning into 1 might in an endless loop)

There should also be an achievement for doing every type of instability, which you have to re-earn every time they add new instabilities.

It’s alot cheaper than the 3 previous crafting professions.
Stupid me though, i sold all t6 materials except blood and dust.

lordkrall.7241:

You are pointing out the main reason yourself in your post.
“So players can roll for easier”.
That is not the point of them. You are not supposed to be able to “roll for easier”, you are supposed to finish all of them.

As it is now, you can “roll for easier” in a way by skipping a level you don’t want to do, and joining a group at a higher level, and once more people reach 50, there will be 1 or 2 levels in the 41-50 tier that most people will agree are the easiest.

I think it’s a great idea of having a more random systeam.

Maybe every tier can have a pool of ten instabilities, and every fractal pulls a random instability from that pool.

IE, 4 different instabilities at lvl 45.

Game should keep track of which fractals are abandoned most frequently, and then make those have an easier T2/3/4 Fractal than the most ran T1 fractal would have.

I remember this being a problem back when it first was up during the Living Story.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/skypirates/Mai-Trin-s-Shadowstep-1

I was getting downed when i was half way through my blurred frenzy or half way through the air during the dodge animation.

It doesn’t make sense when she’s the only boss that can do that.
(Well, I guess Subject 6 can do that now with his explosions.)

Ascended gear and Fractal weapons are the reward, gold is just a bonus.

Because the difference between a team of fully experienced people to having 1 or 2 people that don’t know what to do can make a short dungeon take two/three times as long, if not make people leave.

This doesn’t happen in open world because its mostly zergs, and DE’s are extremely easy, almost fail proof.

If you’re not level 80, and are having trouble joining groups, make your own groups that say any level welcome.

A lot of the hate (not all of it) seems to come from people taking their own assumptions as facts.

The story is moving slow, we don’t have very many answers yet, we don’t know her goals (which she has, according to the cutscene at the Toxic Hybrid). So people are taking the little info they have, filling in the gaps with their assumptions, then coming to the forums to state them as facts and bashing Scarlet/Writers for ruining the lore.

Can we just keep them as assumptions/speculations until the story is done?

Then you can complain if you still think the same at the end.

I remember people calling her a Mary-Sue, copy of Joker etc. etc. When she first got officially introduced during the Queens Jubilee, this was before the short story about her was up.

It’s like reading a book, and expecting every answer in chapter 1.
Let the story play out first.

MassDelusion.9130:

they’re being reset to 30 because after 30 there is a new mechanic
Mistlock instabilities.

So you want to start at lvl 49 and just skip 18 level’s with the new mistlock instabilities that everyone else will have to do if they want to reach lvl 49?

You guys did the higher levels of the OLD fractals
the higher levels of the NEW fractals are DIFFERENT.

I seem to be the only one that doesn’t care that i’m being reset back to 30 or begging in every forum for 250 ectos back for my shiny backpiece.

So you’re saying if thy implemented new mechanics to level 1, we would all be dropped to level 1? Why not raise the cap and put the new mechanics to 50+ since those were not supposed to be accessible.

If instabilities started at level 1, they should reset everyoen to level 1.

Though i Agree they should have started at lvl 50

Ok as it is it seems Rikimaru doesn’t understand what the change really is.

Let’s say I have my back piece with +5 agony in the new slot, and I want a +6 slot, will i be able to take that +5 out to use it in artificing with another +5 and make a +6?

Or will i have to get 2 new +5 infusions to make a +6?

Would seem like a waste using any infusions until it’s +10 if i can’t even take it out to upgrade it.

You guys don’t understand anything

We paid 250ectos to infuse it. After this update it means we have a 2ND INFUSIONS SLOT THAT CAN GO UP TO +10 Agony Resist, where as everyone else can only have 1 infusion slot that only holds up to +5 agony resist if they didn’t invest 250ectos.

So, if you paid 250 ectos to infuse
you have…
1 Normal Infusion slot that can hold +5
1 New infusion Slot that can hold +10

You can now have +15 on you’re backpiece if you paid 250 ectos.

There are people willing to pay that price for their juggernaut.
If you aren’t , too bad.

Fractal Veteran title to anyone that gets reset to 30.

no we didn’t pay 250 ectos for +5 agony, we paid 250 ectos for an additional infusions slot.

So we have 2 infusion slots, instead of 1 on the regular infused capacitor.

Essence of Luck should be automatically consumed when salvaged out.

I’m now in the 110%+ part of my way to 300, and even when combined to the Exotic versions, the amount of clicking is getting to be too much at this point.

Or maybe a “Consume All” option when right clicked.
(This would kind of fall into the “Open All” option for bags.)

can we spectate party members again when dead ? Like in GW1

So the blood prince escapes, starts looking for his father, finds him in the mad king’s realm, and what? they bicker?

It felt like something else was going to happen, since he took over half of his father’s army.

what was the point of pointing that out?

it felt like there was no real conclusion to this, just a very short intro.

Lol at all the people agreeing with something that’s not true.

You guys didn’t even wait for proof, you just went with it to because you don’t want to deal with the fact that the other team is playing better than you.

The top of the pillar kind of looked like a pumpkin with lots of slits cut into it, like his head.

Now that i take a better look though, maybe not.

While doing the Labyrinth, During some of the Edrick (Purple) door events, Rebel Lunatics spawn out of them.

Why would they side with Edrick, and leave the Mad King?
Isn’t their whole goal to help the Mad King get out of the Mad realm permanently, and not just 1 day a year?

Edrick can already come to the real world, as we saw during the first instanced event with Tassi.

Also… Any idea how Edrick new immediately about the Mad Realm? Didn’t he get locked up in the box before the Mad King was killed?

Also, reading a bit about Krait Obelisk and looking at the new release image with Mad King’s Head at the top…. I think one of them is going to sacrafice the other for some kind of “ascension” using the Obelisk.

There has to be some incentive to keep the losing servers to come in when the matches aren’t even.

Something like… Top 5/3/1%(Depending on position during the match up) of highest ranked WvW players for each server are guaranteed to drop a Champ loot bag, with some WvW exclusive skins. (Max 1 champ loot bag per player death every 3 min).

This would still be less than what Frostgorge/Queensdale champ trains put out.

But these champ loot bags have 33% chance to drop liquid WvW Exp.

I don’t know, maybe the new season rewards will bring more people in.

So the game can be flooded with exotic every few hours when everyone figures out how to do tequatl without TS?

no.

25% – 2 champ boxes
50% – Guaranteed Rare + 3 champ boxes
75% – Guaranteed Rare + 5 champ boxes
Kill = 2 Guaranteed Rare + 5 champ boxes and the large open world chest where Ascended/Mini Teq have chance to drop.

Blackgate beat him on FC yesterday
Got him from the burn stage directly into another battery stage.
about 5+ min left on timer.

Hopefully someone from ANet will see this and tell us.

Out of all the accounts that attempted to defeat Liadri, what % succeeded?
How many of those got the achievement Light up the Darkness?

what’s the total % of the population that beat Liadri/did Light up the darkness?

When doing WvW, during a large fight the only thing that’s playing is the background music. I can’t hear any attack or skills, every so often i hear 1 or 2 attacks , but the rest of the time it’s not working.

outside of large fights all the audio is working fine.

Any ideas what’s going on? It just started happening recently.

I’m not using onboard audio, have an Xonar DG.

It’s called a transmutation crystal.

And most of the super expensive exotics have terrible stats, so don’t say you bought them for the stats. You bought them for the skin. The skin is what gives it value.

Guide here.
Bring Signet of Illusions, intsead of Signet of Domination, sometimes Phantasms hit the bombs, which can potentially make you fail if they die.

How easy it is, shown here

Why doesn’t the build that i’ve been using since level 65 work?

This game is so unbalanced.

So we know that the Watchknights, using mesmer magic, are impersonating Humanities enemies.

But sometimes after killing them while transformed, you get to fight them as normal Watchknights.

So the question is, (through the lore perspective) is it intended that the “heroes” fight them as watchknights, or is it because they are malfunctioning due to the mysterious figure and are still fighting even though they were defeated while transformed.

I thought once defeated while transformed, they would just die. (as seen in the ANet livestream preview)

… or is it just a bug that they fight as watchknights.

Yeah, let ANet redo everything, and have it ready by Tuesday.
