Guild Wars 2

AtriustheGod.6785:

I also tried CM p3 and I have absolutely no idea how to kill Sure Shot Seamus. I got him to 90% at best by running around the building with some well aimed bow shots, but I couldn’t handle him or the adds.

For Sure Shot Seamus, watch the video from my previous post.

For his adds, take as much block/reflect as possible, (1 wall of reflection [guard] or 1 daggerstorm [thief] and they will kill themselves without you having to do anything).
As for a warrior, stand behind a corner and try to run back&forth around that corner to obstruct them. I’m sure its hard, but once the adds are dead its childsplay

Im not sure if this can turn out great, but the new heal (heal for every damage) might get you from 5% health to 100% health in no-time thanks to the amount of hits you get.

ArthurDent.9538:

I did have a bit of trouble with Fyonna, however once she started transforming it became easy mode so I am not sure why you would have trouble in that part. Ele focus is really nice though for Fyonna since all her attacks are projectiles though.

Because her attacks were taking like 30% of my health I am just pistolwhip spamming with Signet of Malice, but some attacks still got through, which killed me

AtriustheGod.6785:

Thanks for all the advice guys. I’ve been mulling over what you’ve all said and I’m gonna probably try AC p3, then TA up, and possibly CM p3. Those seem like the most attainable in the near future. I’ll post my progress when I attempt one of them (probably not until tomorrow.) I’ll see about getting a video of all/part of one of the runs.

CM p3 is easymode for a thief (video). Its possible on warrior too, but it makes even the skippings a lot more of a pain in the kitten .

( Did I mention you can afk the first boss after the adds are dead, and the last boss? )

trololo

Nick.6972:

However, they have mentioned numerous of times that they have “big” background projects other non Living Story teams are working on, and so far we haven’t seen anything.

Don’t expect anything.
If they really are working on something, its probably the new season of living hell.
I dont think we will get any content that wont dissappear after 4 weeks, and every 6 months a new map. And that map will be dead when that living story ends (look at southsun, bazaar)

Purple Miku.7032:

ArthurDent.9538:

Twilight Arbor up was the first one I did (ele) and it was generally really easy so you should probably try that. Hardest part was honestly the single silver mob (and his champ bodyguard but he was just an hp sponge) right before the nightmare tree.

Fyonna wasn’t a pain in the kitten for you at all? She was by far the most difficult part of TA up imo.

I have been able to solo the whole path on my thief, except for Fyonna…
When I was going for my first FULL solo up, I had to stop there after 10x dying when she transformed

Lord Kuru.3685:

For Tazza, you can circle, but the instant you step/evade into or past her model by accident, she resets. In any case, you can’t avoid any of her attacks by moving so you may as well just stand right in front of her.

So just like, face-tank her without dodging? ^^
Would pulling her in a corner to dodge into, and lots of healing power with healing siggy (and other defensive utilities) be enough to stay alive?

Meryn.6875:

Thanks to all these bumps its nearly 100% on the front page, im sure the devs notice, they just ignore it, thinking its taken care of. At least thats what I think, and untill I see another red response I’ve got every reason to assume im correct

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Quick update: there’s a fix planned for a future update, but I can’t give an ETA on when it will be rolled out to Live.

Well then, I suppose I was wrong there. Too bad we had the same reaction as a few months ago, and they still dont know how to change “+” and “-” signs. If its truly as simple as we all think it is, the eta for this should be pretty soon, since its 1 minute of coding. You know what, give me the code and ill fix it for you! I won’t charge you anything and nothing will be copywrited, profit for everyone!

Rajani Isa.6294:

Dehuang.2053:

4 months to change a “-” for a “+”

How do we know for sure that is all the problem was?

If its not the tooltip that switched “-” to “+”, then its in the code that has “+” instead of “-”.
Damage calculation in the coding should be something like this:
Damage taken = weapon damage + bonuses + this + that + x + insert potion here
*note this is probably not the formula, but this is how maths work

Lets say the tooltip is right and we should be taking LESS damage, all that needs to be done is changing “……………. + insert potion here” to “……………. – insert potion here”

So whatever it is thats bugged, its probably just changing the sign

SoulArcanium.5047:

Runes of Divinity if you are going for the backstab build.

The best runes for a roaming d/d or d/p thief out there.

Travelers not bad either

ruby orbs >>>> Runes of Divinity in my honest opinion
Same +crit Damage, but a LOT more power and a bit prec

In terms of damage, ruby orbs would be better, although the small boost to other stats is ok I guess…

Sligh.2789:

I just wish someone would actually notice this thread

Thanks to all these bumps its nearly 100% on the front page, im sure the devs notice, they just ignore it, thinking its taken care of. At least thats what I think, and untill I see another red response I’ve got every reason to assume im correct

cerulean moth.2743:

At least if you’re going to solo, could you please post pictures of yourselves dancing in the waterfall?

Sorry for the delay, couldnt find my shower-gel!
Time to dry up as well

and just to day remembered about it and wanted to go back and mess around but anet patched it a while ago September 28th, 2012. i believe!
does anyone know more about this place .

As far as I remember, I was still able to enter it after Sept 28th, 2012. Even better, we recorded it. The vid got posted 7 months ago on our guild channel right here
(that channel has uploaded a vid of us doing p1 duo/solo as well, but that got nerfed)

I am still able to visit this place, although I haven’t been able to get the room spinning again
I did not test if the “normal entrance” of that hidden room still teleports you back while giving you might&protection for 15 minutes, so you might wanna check that yoruself. Tomorrow I’ll be able to test again and record if I find anything

Regarding the p1 solo run, theres a vid somewhere in this forum of a warrior doing Bloody Victoria solo. Im sure its still possible on thief as well, although it would stress the hell out of you. The first boss and endboss are still afk-able (even though they removed the house) and I might record it someday.

eleshazar.6902:

If there is a pile of bugs that are on the lowest priority for anet, everything but living story is located in a bonfire about 10 miles away from that stack.

Fixed it for you

@OP, eleshazar is actually right, although I understand your frustrations, dont expect any fixes on this anywhere soon. I’d recommend you contacting support, provide some screenshots and ask for a free modelling change.

Sovereign.1093:

If pistol dagger skill 3 allows a thief to teleport around like so in my recording, then I’m wrong and it’s not a hack, just a very very cheap way to harass someone.

Since I don’t have a thief, I can’t confirm that build.

definately p/d build. Maybe you should check profession mechanics up first before you call people hackers/cheaters.

Taku.6352:

Well i took your advice and got the story mode done on my thiefy. Now soloing p3 and selling the last 4 spots.

:D you can afk on the rock behind the boss (where you see me /cheering) when you have the boss low. (you can even hit him without him able to hit you, yay afk fight)

I hope they wont be making any more games.
After all this time in BugWars2 it feels like they are stealing our money.

Taku.6352:

I wish I had a group that does CM daily. ;_;

Or just solo when you can’t find one? ~25 minutes is doable

Video of me soloing p3

That was pretty cool I think. I may be delirious. I got pretty dizzy watching you fight Sure Shot Seamus.

I suppose its better than watching a boring full 5 minutes on normal speed :p

Flissy.4093:

I clicked wondering how you would do Wahlen. I had no idea his projectiles were reflectable like that! Are you able to pick up the guns after the turrets are destroyed?

Nope they dissapear. So be sure to keep holding it, and aggro Wahlen only!
Wahlen is still possible even without the gun, but much slower (see the 20k hits?)

If you keep at max range all of his projectiles are easily dodgable by just strafing left-right when you see his animation when he’s about to throw a grenade. This way its still possible to kill him in ~5-10 minutes

I can’t tell you what you like most. Play whatever you think is fun.
When you got the feeling you’ve chosen the wrong one, roll another until you find the right one.

Why should you put money into this company anyway?

Ive made my mistake of buying this game, and they wont get any more money from me until they learn how to push builds with more fixes than bugs.

Theres alot of bugs that exist since launch that hasnt been fixed yet. But hey, at least we can play new (temporary) bugged content every 2 weeks with the bugged stuff we already have. So thats nice.

Yeah, saving my money for quality stuff

Dengar.1785:

The “check your internet connection thing” is just a standard message your client puts out when it cannot access the server for some reason.

That doesnt mean it shouldnt include an possible error made on anets side.
For noobs that dont know anything, when they get this message they will immediately start thinking their home internet is down/broken, while in 90% of all cases, its on ANETS side.

They shouldnt leave themselves out of this kind of messages.

Im able to log in now. But im scared of zoning since it might break the game agian.
So now im stuck in LA

But PLEASE change the error so you dont just blame my internet. I can be your fault too, you know?

Funny how this is happening after a hotpatch
“Fixed various server crashes.”

Okay here’s the deal.

After the hotpatch (which also opened the new map) I was able to log into Lions Arch.
I thought, well lets take a look at the new map, so I clicked “go to the map” or something like that, in the WvW UI.

The loading screen popped up, it kept loading and loading.
and loading and loading
and loading and loading

After 5 minutes (which is terribly long, dont tell me I had to wait longer, maps shouldnt be loading that long….) I restarted my game. Was able to log in, the character select popped up.
Then I tried to log back into the same character that got the frozen load last time (standing in LA according to my character screen) and boom.
loading loading loading network error…

The error:
Network error.
Please check your internet connection. <error code somethingsomething>

Well. STOP BLAIMING MY INTERNET FOR THIS. Im sick and tired of hearing I should check MY connection while I KNOW its on your side, maybe change this error to “check your internet connection, contact support if this nonsense doesnt go away”

After getting that error code 3 times I tried to enter again, this time getting the “game unable to connect to the login servers” error.

Now I am completely unable to get in, on any char for that matter.
Although its fun to see you guys break your own game, I would love to be able to play anywhere this evening again.

Dont forget to put a rune on your aquabreather. Underwater your headpiece gets replaced, thus not using the rune on you normal headpiece but on the aquabreather

Speak Softly.9263:

So is there anyone who can answer this?

What is your question?

I love this one!
I’ts even better than a tick-box for effects on/off

Can’t wait for something like this to be implimented, I’m sick of dying just because I can’t see kitten with all those flaming stuff going on

It really depends on what you are doing in PvE.

If you are planning to use it for dungeon speedruns (the real speedruns) Berserker is ALWAYS the way to go.

If you are planning to just do some casual stuff like dungeon runs with random/guild people and not going for records/farming times you can run whatever you want.
In this case, just run what gives you most pleasure, dont ruin your gameplay experience just because others tell you what to run.

Edit:
I forgot, for just normal pve, world bosses, running around doing explorer and stuff, read the part about casual stuff

Yep. Noticed this as well.
Gets kinda frustrating when doing dungeons and you get minimalized in the middle of a fight.

Most of them (especially the ones that will learn you how to for gold) are with using exploits.
Most of these exploits will probably be fixed in near updates.

The ones that sell these paths without using exploits are mostly players that enjoy doing 5-man content alone for a challange. ( you can also see this as some service “pay me and ill give you this dungeon reward”) Which IMO isnt that wrong to have, as long as the dungeons are still challanging with 5-man parties

Keep in mind that teaching/spreading exploits is against the rules and you will eventually get banned for it. Be patient for fixes, and try to just ignore those lfg’s

grayson.6589:

Most people aren’t aware the potions are bugged and just believe the tool tip.

Which they SHOULD! I’m not feeling bad for them for not knowing the bug, I’m feeling bad for them that ANET doesnt wanna fix it.

They aren’t reading this, if they were they would say something like “yes this is still on the radar” or “expect it fixed end 2015”. Just some regular responses..

Bumping thread. Jeez this sure takes a lot of bumping

HykCraft.4610:

Welcome to Bug Wars 2.

Fixed

Ascalon Catacombs Path1; last room
Friend ended up being there after getting a rez. He was a ranger so could not get out like me in this video. Not really game-breaking.
Video link

Ascalon Catacombs Path1; burrows part
Really annoying as it happens a lot. Can be done with almost any burrow. Is not exploitable.
Video link

Thank you for pointing out that thread and explaining the cause of it.

This thread may be closed

WvWvW; Home borderland stuck
I do not play WvWvW that often, but I suppose every border is the same (except for EB)
Video link

Mount Maelstrom; Gauntlet Gulch
Was playing around seeing if I could get to the top of the tower [ which I did in the end ]
Video link

Honor of the Wave; out of map
Found this one while looking for more easter eggs after finding the one in Caudecus Manor [ love that one! ]. I checked for any exploits which I didnt find. If there actually is any exploitation, please let me know asap so I can remove/private the video.
Video link

I did a quick search on this bug, but either it hasn’t been addressed or my search-skills are far behind. If I did make a duplicate, feel free to remove/merge.

This bug seems to happen to Signet of Agility and Assassin’s Signet only, but shares the cooldown with several other skills when swapped in.

ex: Cast Shadow Refuge so it is on recharge (60 sekittenraited), swap some other utility for SoG/AS and they will start at the same recharge as Shadow Refuge is currently.

This is very annoying when swapping skills right before combat (I can imagine it is hell in WvW/PvP)

Server: Whiteside Ridge
Race: Asura
Profession: Thief
Level: 80 (happens on any level)

I did a quick search on this bug, but either it hasn’t been addressed or my search-skills are far behind. If I did make a duplicate, feel free to remove/merge.

The signet has been buffed back in the March patch if I remember correctly.
The signet’s passive (+10 plus one per lvl precision) has been doubled. On level 80 the signet has been buffed from +90 precision to +180 precision. The tooltip however still says the original “10 plus one per lvl”.

Server: Whiteside Ridge
Race: Asura
Profession: Thief
Level: 80 ( happens while scaling as well)

Should be an easy fix.

I did a quick search on this bug, but either it hasn’t been addressed or my search-skills are far behind. If I did make a duplicate, feel free to remove/merge.

So the Signet of Malice signet has been buffed back in the March patch if I remember correctly. The healing should be ~33% more effective.

The 33% has indeed been added although the tooltip did not receive the update.

Video link

Server: Whiteside Ridge
Race: Asura
Profession: Thief
Level: 80 (bug is also present when downscaled)

Should be an easy to fix bug.
