Guild Wars 2

Your topic title is spoiler itself….think

Yes that chat icon is needed.

I remember I managed to farm that crystal achievement (get crystalized 5 times) a year ago…it is certainly possible. Just not on zerked map.

Mortifer.2946:

Yeah, you are right. ..but fortunately, I care only about Bifrost at this time.

Oh I know it, my girl wants bifrost bad and reading all of this…she’s sorta given up starting/trying to do the collections for it heh.

Heh, what a coincidence… I am crafting Bifrost for my girlfriend and I hope to be done before Christmas

Well, I know…shatterer…. I will just wake up before 5am and find empty map…it shouldn’t be a problem. I could find empty shatterers many times before HoT and was angry about it.

Yeah, you are right. ..but fortunately, I care only about Bifrost at this time.

Me… Yeah, you kind of missed the masses. LFG tool is now mandatory if you want to be placed in highly populated map.

I am getting pretty close to collection 2 and I fear the last one. I really hope that ArenaNet will fix this soon. 1 – shatterer should not be able to get blinded + maybe cast more crystals, as five is really not much. 2 – fix this coral mindless farming. Increase the chance at least 10 times. Farming that thing for 18 hours is just unacceptable.

Auric basin map reward still not received after patch. Can we please expect to get the reward chest? No word on this matter is pretty disturbing.

Runiir.6425:

The way I look at it, precursor crafting should be completely, totally, irrevocably devoid of any and all RNG. The entire point for people wanting them to be craftable or to have any other way other than lucky drop…is to get away from RNG.
They already cost more to craft through collections than it would to just buy them off the TP, so frankly…getting rid of all RNG should be mandatory in them.

The Legend doesn’t cost more to craft then to buy it off the TP.
You just said it because you heard it somewhere…. it is actually 200 gold cheaper.

I think the initial swarm of players went through the story and maps and stopped playing… how many copies of HoT were actually sold?

just another disheartened players, yet people say I am wrong about this issue…. the mandatory use of LFG tool is wrong anyway

IMO, it is pretty stupid you have to play during prime time to achieve what you need. Even World bosses received an updated and now you can run them several times a day…

outside of Prime time, hot maps are half-empty. period.

I don’t get this…. on my dragonhunter it was very boring…. not only he has milions of HP, but he didn’t do any damage to me…. blighted minions who were trying to attack me were just running around as I was kitting them in circles. I never experienced that spinning thing.

What I found more annoying is that flying phase… those updrafts are pretty bugged and almost at the end of each of those phases I always got downed and barely stood up again.

EU or US? I am EU

What I would like to suggest Arenanet, is to make helicopters to come at the beginning of the night cycle and let players be transported to ANY camp on the map. This way, players can evenly distribute throughout the map and have a chance of T4.
Also, there should be some UI guide which shows you where is which boss… I did this event many times but so far I can only remember how I get to patriarch and how I get to normal wyvern… I know I can remember it, but it would a lot helpful for new players… I see questions of “how do i get to axemaster” every day… that is btw, a very problematic boss.

OK, after I had some sleep and my furious mood is gone I want to say this:

ArenaNet, please try to review Verdant Brink, or the functionality of megaserver maps + participation values.

In 99% instances (and nobody, not even you can change it) people leave Verdant Brink after succesful Day cycle with T4 security. Little chest box says that there is a chance for coat box, but frankly, almost nobody ever got one. After this 60-minutes long sprint, of spamming map chat (because there are zero tools how to coordinate people…commander icon is actually making this map harder), people just leave, because they are tired… it is a long cycle!
Don’t get me wrong, night cycle is awesome and fun, but the maps are half empty… and LFG tool very rarely shows some people taxiing people in.

Please, do something about it, rebalance it… I won’t say you how; you have more experience with it, but this clearly does not work out… After T4, everyone leaves.

Yeah, and locking that Axeman boss behind high tier mastery….wrong choice guys… you can do this in the third or fourth map, where it makes more sense that people are almost fully mastered, but in the first map…not really. It should just a little harder than Silverwastes.

I’m not stating this as an ultimatum, but until you do something about this, I refuse to play HoT maps anymore. I will play fractals, I will craft legendary, I will level up my revenant… Thankfully, that is more than enough to keep me entertained.

edit: As our fellow player stated right above my post: there is zero time to chill out…those events are like, as my girlfriend put it, never-ending sprint.

PLEASE! Do something with night meta…. day takes too long, everybody leaves!!!!! THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PLAYING! EVER!

Chainsawbabies.8069:

So i finished my “Sunrise 1: The Experimental Daysword” and at the time i didn’t have a 450-500 weapon smith so i got on this morning and got 500 on it , when i went to see what i need to craft to get the second tier, however i somehow don’t have any of the recipes that were awarded , any advice??

Go to that legendary vendor, and try to buy that recipe again… it costs just 20K karma

I know it is a known issue, but I want to add my issue too: Explored 100% Auric Basin and didn’t recieve the reward. So when you will be rolling out fixes, don’t forget about me please xD

8. bugs are ruining the experience

You have to choose staying in the camp and defent. It is a sylvari pact soldier

on the side note: what do you thing about visual appearance of Mordremoth? The thing we saw in the dream was just some avatar, and Mordremoth itself doesn’t look like a dragon at all, and in fact, he is just a continent-big plant? WTF? Why is he called dragon?

okay, so it drops from night tier 4 which is in 99% cases not possible, because after tier 4 day (which never gave box to anybody) everyone is already weary, with full inventory, etc..and leave…those who stay just follow one or two tags and fail to kill all the 5 bosses because they still don’t understand that zerging is a wrong tactics

I managed to get Tier 4 dozens of times and I never seen a single character looting that chest box. I think it is just a myth.

I guess we can thank people like Odokuro

ProtoGunner.4953:

I found it funny, cuz a lot of people wished they could kill him and voilà, they did it. I never had bad feelings about him, I liked him. ‘Taking the credit’ is not so true, he always appreciates your doings and never imposes himself as the self-proclaimed and sole killer of Zhaitan.

People seem to be full of testosterone and want to be the hero, imo this is a very immature behaviour: where in life are we the heroes?

this

So ArenaNet listened to all the whiners who needed to be commanders and gods and whatever, and killed Trehearne… awesome. You made it clap clap … clap

Our whole guild, around 50 people, did not get personal reward chest for ghost wolf rush. We also did not get favor. The chest icon in guild tab is still closed.

We tried this twice.

Guild rush with ghost wolves in harathi is bugged. We did it twice and we didn’t get favor, nor personal reward.

Guild rush today was bugged, we did not get favor and we did not even get guild commendations…. that means nerf 2 commendations/week. We are not going to do treks, because they award just 5 people. They should be called party treks.

Big disappointment….

WTF? Fractal weapon skins now tradable? Are they kitten joking???

Yeah, but that defending event does not have anything to do with Octovine….

When we are at it…have anybody managed gold medal? It seems impossible for me…very clumsy adventure.. many times you spray fire over tendrils and they don’t get hit

frokitten .3706:

The content added in HoT feels fine, especially whne you remember that Living story had 42+ updates, and a lot of the living story did tie in to the main story of HoT.

The maps also have a replay factor in the sense that, once you get masteries unlocked, you can go back to areas and explore that much more. for example, Verdant brink and updraft allowed you to explore the canopy a lot more.

The only complaint I have about this xpac, is a lot of its content is centered around being grouped pretty much all the time to get the most out of it, which sucks imo because I do go in to moods were I just want to chill out and kitten while listening to music.

But thats just me.

It’s not just you

I agree this is pretty stupid…. I lost a big chunk of EXP several times by finishing mastery while doing personal story.

GW1: you got a whole new continent to explore where there was nothing to explore just tunnels tunnels and more tunnels with annoying mobs

HoT certainly does not feel like a DLC

I love Tarir octovine music!!! It really pushes me to try my best the whole fight and coordinate others ..the only thing I miss is 300g for commader’s compendium xD

After roaming 2 maps for over 4 hours there was not a single spawn of this boss, making the achievement (which I already had in 2012 but was deleted) not achievable.

I am really enjoying using traps (for now I play only PVE) and there is one little thing that would make them perfect – allow us to trigger them by pressing the skill button again!

They give some buffs like speed, but it is totally illogical that you can get it only by triggering combat. Also heal is totally useless against ranged enemies like those frog thieves. Can we please get this? Please, please…. engineers can explode their gyros, it makes sense we can do the same.

no, that means he was heavily farming events and did not waste time with getting to extra mastery points….. this guy is crazy.. what is he going to do now?

oh, well yeah, one was guaranteed, sorry, but just one :-/

Chasind.3128:

I believe when the carapace came out, you could also get it from Living Story for vinewrath, if HoT is anything the same, one of the story episodes will reward you with the bladed Coat.

no, you couldn’t… it was always only from the Winewrath chest…. Trust me, I collected Bioluminescence armor, so I spent bazilion of hours doing Season 2 episodes and SW event chain.

Please, respond.

It is almost the same system as Silverwastes. You can buy 5 pieces at vendor but chest has to be looted from the final pop up chest when the map wins everything. – Daytime Tier4. Nightime I don’t know about..I never seen anym map getting to full tier 3 and I can’t tell if there is tier 4.

CorrynnStarr.7942:

you didnt lose your previous points for it, you can just do it again to get more now.

And is this really true? I didn’t check if I lost some points or not, but I know that there were some posts of people who did.

1st volume for Legend requires 35 spiritwood planks and 10 elonian leather sections.
if the second and third requires the same, it is not worth it to craft it like this.

Can we get an official statement for this?

Is there any logic behind it? I though halloween is for F2P and vanilla players… I want to play HoT.

Can we please get a fix for this?

Did we lose our achievement points or not? I see that this achievement list was withdrawn from historical tab and put back up and reset… I hope I don’t have to repeat all those achievements just to keep my AP.
