Guild Wars 2

bumping this

So was running arah p3 earlier. A guildy invites a friend along. I ask him what sort of build he was using on guardian. He said a tanky pvt build. I groaned and just accepted my fate. First and last run i ever did with that person

gw2 dungeons and priority in the same sentence? have not heard that in a while

bump

i don’t think the effort for stacking bloodlust in pug groups is worth the effort.

so somebody sent me this beauty of a mail just now. seems incredibly legit.

i spent about 10 minutes jumping off the side of the wintersday area in divinity’s reach just to go swimming.

what boredom does to a person in this game

can you stop being a god and making me feel like a bad player? >.>

but still good job

question. how to deal with lupi phase 3 on necro solo

Besides the first daily 11-20 fractal, there has been a severe lack of dungeon content in the daily system. not sure if it is due to the fact that i am being impatient and one has not popped up yet (which is most likely the case), but it would be nice to see some more dungeon content from the new daily system.

i usually tell these people they are in open world content, but could not be bothered today

i am proud of myself. got the spider skip in arah p2 done first go on necro without stealth. actually an easy run in my opinion

You used plague? Because you can literally just run with plague and spam blinds and you will make it everytime. ;d

no plague. just running and dodging. up to lupi now and trying to get a lupi solo done on necro

Team death match

Whenever i see those words all i can think of is codement from purpleeyeswtf on youtube….

bump

please delete. thread no longer current

why is warmaster grast one of the most annoying NPCs when trying to solo? ooooooh look, a bunch of gravelings, better go say hi to them instead of kittening protecting the one killing the giant lizard over there.

this makes me want to try when my internet cleans up

Great job LEFT. That was an alRIGHT lupi solo don’t ya think? xD

Horrible puns aside, amazing work. I just wish more people from ren were as good as you

can someone test out all the known bugs and see if they actually did fix it? i would but i am a bit busy right now

hi guys. when i was soloing lupi this started happening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKG-nyQtj58&feature=youtu.be

for those of you who are too lazy to watch the video it is lupi repeatedly spawning the grubs on the npc throughout phase 1. (i just stood there and watched while killing locusts watching it climb to 25 stacks).

was just wondering is this a bug or is this a rare occurrence that is meant to happen?

i used full cleric gear with water runes. 00635 was the build. i got it down. it was incredibly fun to try. meditations heal was the main trait i was using. healing signet, 3 meditations and renewed focus were the utilities. and staff to apply swiftness at the very start instead of retreat.

been practicing my orb runs on guardian solo. so close. just need to time my heals and dodges a bit better.

Was mucking around in arah the other day. I got bored and started coating while my friends were running the path seriously. I decided to have a little fun and goat to the end boss of p2 and activated the fight so they got teleported just when lupi was in the middle of phase 2

yeah thanks for the info miku. it helps a lot.

gonna go test out that lupi trick.

hi, my name is Minigrump and i am a filthy elitist scumbag that runs the zerk meta.

this is dungeon runners anonymous right?

question. while selling arah p4, how many people have had a random person come in and ask if people really buy this and leave? (while somehow bugging the lfg at the same time)

Ive been infracted for apologising to someone after they insulted me. Dont ask why I was so polite. Certainly didnt get me anywhere.

Wow, sometimes the mods really get carried away O.o

I remember seeing someone in the support forum asking why they got infracted for posting to fix the forum bug. I think they reversed it for him, but still, made me lol.

I expect this thread to be significantly shorter by Monday morning >.>

90 something pages down to 20 something?

just laughed when this happened.

just made eternity. not sure what to go for next.

Conaywea.5062:

Nah , i dont want to miss content because the first time i did x dungeon was in a Elitist noob party who need to do everything fast , you know what i mean

Its just stupid

so i started mountain goating in arah recently. got a friend to show me some stuff and how it is done. I saw raptor jesus with my own eyes, it was so majestic.

I have a headache after reading most of the responses from this thread now ;_;

i am assuming in a later patch. but they look freakin awesome

Duke Blackrose.4981:

The stack meta is much more problematic to the quality of the dungeon experience than the zerk meta. Both, however, speak to a different form of bad content design.

Stacking doesn’t really happen that much in dungeons anymort fyi. Unless you consider stacking might before a fight. Most bosses and mobs die too quick for stacking and LoSing to be efficient. This is due to fgs nerf, ice bow is new meta.

What happens, pre stack might, drop ice bow. Run in, freeze, ice bow 4 and dps down. If its not dead by the end of a rotation usually what happens is a thief removes defiance by crowd control while a guardian blinds and applies aegis.

And once again, if you don’t like playing with zerk meta groups, form your own group on lfg instead of trying to force everyone else to play the way you want.

Yeah, the waypoints make the world feel tiny.

And no waypoints make a tiny map feel big . . .

This map needs a ton of players and coordination to beat it, lack of waypoints and mechanics like damage over time in lost castles won´t help to fill it in the long run.

This will probably end with an empty map – except for planned, coordinated runs like Tequatl or dry top rank 6.

In attempting to refute his argument, you literally just explained why fewer waypoints is a perfect system.

The Silverwastes single/few waypoint system allows content to feel bigger without actually being bigger, increasing its value while also encouraging players to explore it.

This is a far superior approach to larger maps with more waypoints, as it has nowhere near the population spread. This allows players to group up more (while split-encouraging mechanics like those of Silverwastes prevent mindless zerging). The result is a more immersive world that is much less resource-intensive to update and to run. As an added bonus, this type of content holds up FAR better to subsequent updates. A world of large zones will quickly become overstretched, causing worse and worse community spread and more dead zones. Hell, we have already seen this occur.

And that’s not even mentioning the gameplay benefits. Encouraged exploration. Increased emphasis on reviving, healing, and team play. The list goes on.

Quite frankly, Guild Wars 2 would be twice the game that it is now if it had launched with this form of design.

Everything there is subjective. Obviously everyone does not feel the same way. Why would it be better to force other players to play the way you’d like when you have the option to play the way you like when they have the option. The only thing it would accomplish is to take the other players desired play style away.

Let me see if I can explain this by putting the shoe on the other foot.

They introduce a zone where you MUST use way points. Some players love it and suggest all zones should be that way regardless of others liking to run everywhere and immerse themselves in the journey, b/c it feels more efficient to them. Even though they already have the option to use way points in all the other zones, they still want to force you to use them too.

Doesn’t seem like quite such a good idea does it?

Your starting quote is actually false. “Everything there is subjective?”

No. Some of that was most definitely fact. It is a fact that less waypointing encourages exploration because it forces it. It is an observable fact that fewer waypoints increases the importance of revives. It is a fact that smaller maps spread the population less.

None of these are subjective qualities. To say otherwise is to not understand the definitions of subjective and objective.

Now, can you make a point that waypointing is efficient and convenient and that some players will prefer this style of gameplay? Yes. Yes you can. And balls to your efficiency; virtually every flaw with the game’s dungeon metas has been the direct result of players pursuing efficiency. There. Now THAT is subjective.

And balls to your not using efficiency. That is one of the main reasons why i play this game, because it is so efficient. Dont make others have to do things the longer and more tedious way when they don’t have to. Just do your own thing and don’t bother others.

And what is wrong with the current dungeon meta? If you don’t want to do or use it, then don’t. Have you heard of making your own post on the lfg for your own run?

anyone noticing an increase in lag spikes in dungeons? or is it my internet being kittenty again?

quick question. anyone know how long it takes to have the restriction on sending gold and items on a new account? been rat farming it up for the past 2 days or so and i have made a lot of gold and want to send some of it to my main account.

Been waiting for 3 and a half days. Ticket number 984960

So glad I saved this picture.

I no no illegal vedio. That against my coc. I r gud popcorn eater

Oh god nemesis. You just lost all credibility you have on this forum. Meta is meta for a reason. Ask anyone with experience on this forum and they can tell you why. (I’m posting on mobile so too much effort (

B I N G O and bingo was his nameooooo.

And this game’s dungeons are fine as they are. They are just stale.

Sad to see you go winter. I had a lot of fun in the twitch chat with you.

(Baby come back starts playing)

About half of my posts on that thread got infracted. Did i level up?

Yeah I have that useless coin in my bank as well. Wish SAB returned so I could use it again

If SAB returns then yes. I’d hold on to them. Wish I made them now

Currently locked out of my account because I had the mobile authenticator on and my phone got smashed. Submitted a ticket yesterday and am waiting on cs to help (only way I’m posting is because I am logged in on my phone at a friends house).

In other news the other day I shocked a group in arah when I asked them if I could swap out to my lvl 20 to level at the end of the run. Apparently its not common to do that in arah
