Start buying those gems with gold now because they are gonna sky rocket when they put this pijamas ingame. I mean, probably 1% will keep it but the rest will surely transmute

You wondering this after they implemented fairy neon wings? I mean,… except jade weapons and Braham set, all the rest that was implemented in the last year was horrible and far from the original concept art.

I tend to disagree with you lot! I think new armour looks amazing, but of course with right colour combo! Thank you Arena – these armours are intricate and thanks to the devs that modeled them!
please, hide more parts.
Try to fit that on a Norn or Char…
Armors are ugly. Overwhelming ammount of details that little have to do with the rest of the enviroment… this armors belong to another game. I can barely see myself slaying oggres in a Jester suit only fit for Mesmers (if you follow GW1 concept). Whoever design this was really out of his game.

Based on ideas presented in the original thread, I suggest:
Condition damage stacks inflicted beyond the maxstacklimit (usually 25) is converted to direct damage.
On structures, set the maxstacklimit to 0.
There could be scaling factor(s) involved in the conversion of condition dmg to direct dmg so that, for example, a big 30-sec bleed doesn’t convert into a massive instant damage burst.
This is an amazing idea. Very simple to implement and it shouldn’t produce any unbalance issue (probably they’ll need to redo their math) as long as it is only applied for objects and world bosses.
WvW doors should be left untouched.

If you zoom out the map, you will see a wooden gate icon on the map representing the dungeon entrance. AFAIK it will only show you the ones you are allowed to enter.
To reach it, travel to the closest city and run from there (Lion Arch’s gates). Google to entire world map if you don’t know which city is closest to the dungeon.
A little help to start with the 2 lowest lvl:
Ascalonian Catacombs (lvl 30-35+) – Go from Black Citadel.
Covetous Manor (lvl 40+) – Go from Queensdale

It’kittenhe firkitten big bokittenhey revamp and its perfectly fine the way it is. It showed people that they can no longer jukitten press 1 and watch TV.
Well no it’s not perfectly fine it’s in no way fun at all.
If you were ‘press 1 akitteng’ before then you were one of the people who I’d have to res after the old Teq fight because you were just standing in poison pools and dying. Thanks!
Edit: Ha ha ha broken word filter ‘kitten kitten kitten’
Teq is not the only world boss.
No I don’t just press 1. I’m talking for the usual mass of blue names behind at range on dragons.
I like this Teql and like or not, its staying as it is for another year.
Kittens… kittens everywhere!
No it’s not, but it’s a world boss that won’t get killed on most servers right now and therefore it’s mostly wasted content.
I hear a lot about this mythical ‘press 1 afk’ beast, but I’ve been doing boss battles since before you were even likely to get a rare from them and I’ve never actually met one.
If they keep taking away fun encounters and replacing them with frustrating, unrewarding content, the new Teq will be here next year but a lot of players won’t.
I don’t understand your point.
If you find it fun before, then it is pretty much the same now. Only difference is that it won’t die so easily and it has a couple more melee skills.
the way it was before you can stand at the left of his right hand (below his mouth) and just AFK auto attack. If a pool landed there (rare because that spot is a safe spot since day 1) you can always step 2 meters to the back of his hand and keep auto-attacking.
The fight it’s exactly the same as before, only a bit harder; but no rocket science.
Now,… if what bugs you is that you can’t kill him every time you go there… well.. you either stop going for a while or give the player base some time until they figure it out.

Well, there is no inkittenanced content for mid 30s. What you can do is sync your personal kittenory and do the inkittenance together (no challenge, but its something lol it will be kind of fun with a few bosses further on). Search for Champs your level, lot of caves have hidden champs around those levels. Another thing you can do is go to WvW. As long akittenhe 3 of you kittenick together, you will have a blakitten.
At 80 search for dungeons solo-able. You can kittenart practicing those and do them in duo or trio.
Quoting myself because it is amazing how broken the profanity filter ikittenhere was not even one word to censor on my pokitten lol and there are kittens all over!
EDIT: its replacing all S and T put together lol

It’s the first big boss they revamp and its perfectly fine the way it is. It showed people that they can no longer just press 1 and watch TV. Wait for the next bosses to come, I’m sure some will be harder, other easier but pretty much around this level. You don’t need an event that only 80 players max lvl max gear with voice chat can defeat… it will bring nothing but (justified) rage from the rest of the player base. If any, something like that should be closed for guild missions or raids.
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
They are working… on a way to make you use the gem store for that.
It’s gonna be “impossible” and probably tedious. They need you using real money, it is their business.
There is a reason why scavenger hunt (announced last year, epic quest for a precursor) never made it to the game. Even after staff from ANet said they were working on it.
I’m not putting that much hope on this “crafting” precursor thing.
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
It absolutely is. But right now the only skimpy medium option is human T3. Everything else is bulky trenchcoats. I think the GW1 ranger armors are a good place to base new GW2 medium armor: slick, not trenchcoats, not frilly, adorned but tastefully….
Don’t take it on bulky trenchcoats lol, I like them over skinny assasin like skins. That’s why I LOVE Norn Medium T1 and 2. 3 with that assasin mask looks childish.
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
You can ask me, you know? You don’t need to be a Sherlock to realize I’m reading this forum. Try not to have the same childish attitude many kids have in this forums.
I use zerk as well, but don’t consider myself part of a minority like other delusional people here. Zerk is in fact the most common build. So, kind of the average joe player you can encounter.
Oh ok thought you were saying its a bad thing. The minority are the people who are great and use zerk armor (not me).
I never said it was a bad thing. I consider bad the elitist prick attitude usually seen in the forums but I don’t think using zerk gear is something bad. It’s not black or white.
The problem is on many forum users who take it personal and immediately starts bashing on people that post a different idea. You will see posts that say “hey, since we are all zerks, wouldn’t it be nice if the game requires more challenge and force us to use other builds?” (insert 100 flaming and trolling replies). That’s what I have a problem with and thus my signature.
(PS. was ‘thus’ properly used? lol my english is still improving)
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
I dont get mesket’s signature. Every average joe guardian i know runs ah or anchor very few run zerker. Also just bc something is average joe doesnt make it bad….I mean fine use a terribad build just to not be an average build that makes total sense

its bad… you only gain 30% crit. Loose power, loose 10K hp, have nothing for conditions, probably if you use shake it off you have 1 cleanse (against 5 that I have).
You don’t really do that much damage compared with mine WvW build but are very very weaker.
I never intended to make a good one, you just wanted a proof that your build isn’t something “amazing” in terms of amount of stat points. And you abuse one more trait.
Well some other players reading the forums thought it was and actually asked me for it; and it’s been working for me just fine. I think you are just reading it too fast instead of thinking how it works in every situation.
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
Not only that… “I dare you” (not really, don’t care that much; this is only better than y dead times at the office) make any other character and use any other set and get over 2.2K in 3 different stats self buffed. Crit is at 29% not 24%, sigil is not reflecting on the char sheet. (that build in particular is specialized in removing conditions with soldier runes and surviving, has many regens as well; its for WvW and its pretty good for zerg pvp).
After 1 minute I made this and it can actually do some damage.
its bad in comparisson… you only gain 30% crit, its something but not worth the exchange. Loose power, loose 10K hp, have nothing for conditions, probably if you use shake it off you have 1 cleanse (against 5 that I have).
don’t take my wvw build lightly and underestimate it just because we are discussing if there is something wrong with group content or not. There is a reason for every trait I use (like having 15 strengh to recover endurance on adrenaline skills).
You don’t really do that much damage compared with my WvW build but are very very weaker.
Can we go back to topic now?
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
Random replies are random. I’m far from 2400 toughness and hardly die. But nice try at a personal attack. Keep on trying though.
It’s barely random. I think I recall you playing with similiar builds.
ahahahahahahahahahaha
nice zerker stats, mesket
Context is important instead of making yourself a fool you can see where that pic come from… its from 7 months ago in a thread called “near invincible warrior”… AND! I was using PVT for the Dragon so talk me more about optimal builds for that… nice try kid. Don’t try to hard you might hurt yourself.
Again, context is important kid
Ps. Near 15 other warriors on the forums asked my build through PM after that. Raw stats are quite impressive if you look closely. I still have some of the PMs
PS II: Actually its funny, now that I see that… I’m quite sure that warrior full PVT can outdamage many other classes on zerk gear… so who is optimal after all? Only optimal classes, the new trend?
ele guardian thief will outdamage a full berserker warrior.
and every profession in full berserker can outdamage a pvt warrior.
not even worth it
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
I have played the game for 1700 hours now. I just reached 550 gold. I have enjoyed playing the game and i know that’s the most important. But I see all my friend and, guildies around me getting their legendaries. There is one who has played the game for 1100 hours and has started making his 4th legendary.
I farm dungeons and harvest nodes. But i’m still sooo far away from my 1st legendary…
I’m totally lost.
What am i doing wrong? :/
You are playing the game instead of working on it. Bad.
/sarcasm
Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.
They are impressive because you don’t spend stat points on critical damage. Any gear set without critical damage will get same amount of stats.
And no, your warrior can’t outdamage other professions in berserker’s gear.
Not only that… “I dare you” (not really, don’t care that much; this is only better than y dead times at the office) make any other character and use any other set and get over 2.2K in 3 different stats self buffed.

Fat eye speaking, it can. Warrior weapon skills plus highest power you can get, it’s not that bad when put into practice. Specially when bad zerks switch to ranged weapons when a pvt clearly don’t need to use one. Anyway, this is hardly the topic discussed here and don’t think I’m defending pvt now. I find it a good build for warriors in certain situations (as many other builds are, I love rampager on my flame engie for random farming for example).

But not guildcapes, oh no! That would totally not fit with the game’s artstyle!
Have they said they aren’t doing these, like officially?
Yes. There was a video interview with Colin Johanson where he says people are working on this on their own time. Apparently there are major technical difficulties with capes and how the characters move. And the way he phrased it, it was all races not just Charr.
If they’re working on them on their own time, doesn’t that mean that they are working on them, just that it’s not an official priority?
I find it hard to believe myself (as other games manage it – with clipping issues sure, but this game has plenty of those!), though Charr are obviously a problem – they could have something else, though.
They couldn’t do capes in 1 year, but put neon fairy wings in 1 week. Priorities are kitten up in ANet.

Having 2400 toughness and getting killed itches you too often?
Random replies are random. I’m far from 2400 toughness and hardly die. But nice try at a personal attack. Keep on trying though.
My previous comment was for the delusional who thinks zerk is something rare and elite when it is in fact the most common build and gear set used by almost everyone. It is indeed the average joe build. That is the main reason why threads like this respawn every now and then.
you are wrong here.
the majority doesnt use berserker because they cant survive in berserkers gear.
The vast majority uses it. They can’t survive that’s right, but they use it anyway cause they are leet lol
If you don’t believe ask around… or see posts like “why do people hate berseker”. Do you really think things like that pops because of a minority just being good at the game? on the contrary; it’s people getting tired of the average joe failing because they follow a trend.

Actually, I’m sorry about your wasted sarcasm because I’m all in favor of a more important role for support and boons. It’s the 5 dps and go set up that I find cheap and more appropriate for a 5 dollars indie game than a triple A MMORPG.
Sorry about your wasted wall of text. Keep reading next time, don’t quote in the middle of a thread.
That’s by design, everyone is dps, support and control. Read the manifesto.
Mike O’Brien Manifesto?
is or can be. Two different things.
Currently it is by designed and everyone is everything. We agree. This is what many players don’t like and prefer to see a specialization into roles (required by content). So everyone can be everything but fit one role at a time to have more team work.
5 × 1 man army =/= 1 × 5 man army
I think they tried to make it so and failed.
“what many players dont like”
did you start a poll or something?
and i dont believe you have ever seen good guilds running dungeons or fractals. because there is already alot of teamwork.
I don’t think you can consider there is teamwork in GW2 because high lvl fractals requires it. That’s not even 1% of the game.
yes because gw2 is lacking difficult content. but that doesnt change the fact that good guilds have a lot of teamwork when running dungeons or fractals.
And finally you end up agreeing on my point. GW2 lacks the content that would require 5 players working together. The rest was suggestion for improving the roles proposed by ANet.
everyone agrees there mate. but to make that happen you dont need to nerf berserker into the ground. its all about how well you play. if you are not that good you simply use knights or pvt. as soon as you become better you will get away with berserker. thats about it.
and supporting your team and statcombos are different things.
But I never said that zerk should be nerfed, please, read my posts. All I said is that if any, other sets should be on par by improving the content. This will help the game by adding some variety and diversity. Think about market also, prices are all narrowed down to zerk gear currently.. it would be nice to see other specs valuable as well.
Where do you see that moving from one set of gear to the next is considered progression? That is something that the playerbase made up here because there is no challenge. Reducing survivability and completing things faster… that is made up challenge because the game is offering none (besides 48+)

@mesket: gw2 will never have tank/healer in pve. because in gw2, everyone can be useful, everyone can dps, everyone can play active.
they even said that before the game was released.
if you want to play a tank/healer play wvw/pvp or move on to another game with trinity.
seriously.
LOL seriously??? hahahaha man please read again…
I NEVER said I wanted tanks and healers. If anything I’m against them in this game. PLEASE read again.
a few posts ago u said trinity in gw2 would have been nice.
seriously man. there is no reason to be so mad about berserker gear. maybe you just have to get better at the game so you can use it as well.
other than that: dodge wont be removed. so nothing will really change.
and if you think all people do in gw2 is dps then you are simply wrong.
Ok, I re-read all my posts here.-
I didn’t ask for Trinity in GW2. Never, in any thread. You are wrong, again, for the second time in the same thread on the same thing. I told you before, now you are wrong again. I DONT WANT TRINITY IN GW2. Clear?
I’m not mad about zerk, I’m all in favor for max dps builds. I have a couple of chars full zerk of my own as well. Don’t assume too much about my playstyle. I’m merely tossing out an opinion of how I think things could be. Not about how I do them or think they are now.
I don’t think that’s all people do here, there is also crafting and jumping puzzles. The rest is plain dps or what most elitists call, a bad player.
