Mortifer.2946:

Do you really have to guess what is below?

Candycorn, of course!

I thought it may be a Rich Copper Node… guess I was wrong…

Duh… final chapter gives us an info about Battle for LA, and probably defeating Scarlet, but so many questions remain unanswered.

What’s under Lion’s Arch? Why did she need such a huge drill for it?
If we stop Scarlet, will the mystery stay bellow LA for good, or until Taimi decides she wants to take over?

I though we’d get all these answers before we finish the plot… By the looks of the video and past experience March 4th will mean just more prolonged battles in LA….

ADDED: Screenshot to make the issue more visual

It’s been a while since people mentioned this and I really though it should be mentioned again.

The colors of the Meteorlogicus (blue and pink) change as time of the day changes.

But the handle glow always stays blue, so at night we’d have a blue glowing handle, and a pink scepter head. I thought that the whole weapon should change color, makes sense.

Please ANet can you fix this bug, it would be a shame for such beatiful legendary weapon to be graphically crippled like this.

Thank you.

I am one of those people who think persistence pays off so you go bro!!

I’m thrilled to see a new mount topic pop up every week. Got me worried for a bit there

FInally some love. Can’t wait to see mroe of my fellow Ele people in WvW again!

I doubt we’ll be godlike, but at least I hope we get to even play field like the rest of popular/top notch professions.

Esmee.1067:

I hope it’s reuseable rather than a stay forever thing. Nabuko, how does the Clockwatch work? Is it a reuseable Tonic that stays accountbound or does it because Soulbound? I’m just guessing it will work the same and my curiousity doesn’t like waiting a whole week.

It lasts for an hour I think and it wear off so you’ll have to reapply. It wouldn’t make sense to be a one-use item only

I think they work like the Clockwatck Tonic we got. It applies as a Transformation but you’re able to use everything. Also you’ll see a lot of glitches with the horns….

TBH I’m glad I won’t witness the first wave of disappointment. Wish I was wrong, but I won’t be.

Ask me how I feel about Ele sustainability and I’ll answer…

Umut.5471:

Npcs always have better profession abilities. For example trahearne is a powerful necro too, in a story mission he gathers power and spawns 5-10 flesh golems at once.

I know this in the current present events… but one day we are gonna evolve as characters while fighting Elder Dragons and it would make sense to me that as Heroes of Tyria we don’t just end up same skills just higher numbers.
Many of the reasons I asked this question, but one of them was actually to see if ANet really thought this far into the future (since they clearly are a clever bunch)

I thought Desolation was pvp dominant server…

Astralporing.1957:

Nabuko Darayon.9645:

We can’t deny how some mesmers especially Countess Anise are powerful.

It’s not mesmers, it’s important plot NPC’s in general. Trahaerne can summon groups of elite flesh golems (or undead siege wurms). Logan can keep up a permanent sanctuary effect.
Most of those are way more powerful that it would ever be allowed into PC hands. They are here for plot relevant reasons, and would be completely unbalanced outside of the story limitations.

I just hope that higher cap levels will mean something with skills, and not just increase in damage, but adding more effects to them

Ahh well still we’re talking long in future, I asume PC problems won’t be that much of an issue in 5 years from now since ANet is really working well on the optimization.

Also Ele Power, summoi Giant Earth Elemental like the Centaur boss?

Yeah I get that they’re made this way for storyline, but what I’m asking if in long distance if we get some major increase in level cap, would we get as powerful as they currently are?
OFC monsters would be more powerful aswell

We can’t deny how some mesmers especially Countess Anise are powerful.

I do wonder if their power are unique or just the representation of the mesmers at uber high levels (that we might get with lvl cap increase in long future).

What do you guys think?

I think we might get an option to MF them with a chance at random boosters

So I recently decided to try out this new armor and I have to admit it’s an interesting one. The thing that bugs me is the difference between ~300 Toughness from Knight’s Vs. 224 Healing Power from Zealot’s.

Of course as a Guardian you have many heals that will sustain you so overall the “small” increase in your heals adds up, but I’m still not sure if it’s worth giving up on 300 Toughness for extra 70ish Power + 224 Healing.

What do you guys think?

1. Rangers (They really need to have a place in PvE contents, a lot of hate for poor fellas out there)
2. Elementalists (make them viable as condi and improve their overall sustainablity)
3. Necromancers (improve their power builds so they’re not bored to death spamming condis)

IN BL zergs are organized. EOTM drew a lot of newbies with low level and gear, basically it’s a lootfest down there. SOOO MANY COTTON AND LINEN SCRAPS!

phys.7689:

the biggest problem with this solution is, it only solve self set field issues, some classes have great finishers but few fields, they will still be hitting retal instead of might, like warrior.

Well at least it solves one part of the problem

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Nabuko Darayon.9645:

You might’ve not understood me. I did not say that you could blast only your own field, but if there is a bunch of fields in front of a boss that if you place your own field and you use the blast that it should prioritize your field over the rest.

For example, If I’m an Ele and I use Lava Font and then a Guardian uses his Symbol and what I want is to support my team with Might, I should be able to do so, instead of giving Area Retal which is already applied with the Symbol so basically I wasted my Blast on a boon that’s not needed for my team. And since Symbols help Guardians do damage I can’t say stop using your symbols.
That’s why I think this should be implemented… It would actually add more teamplay.

Properly layering and timing combos is meant to be part of tactical team play. Being patient with skill use and co-coordinating with teammates to maximize which finishers are going off which fields matters.

What you’re suggesting is freedom for everyone to solo next to each other, not more team play.

I don’t see why a Guardian can’t maintain Retaliation with his Blast/Leaps while I buff him with Fury + Might from afar.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Nabuko Darayon.9645:

Our Blasts should be able to prioritize our own Combo Field, right?

No, the whole point of having the combo system in the game is for team synergy.

You might’ve not understood me. I did not say that you could blast only your own field, but if there is a bunch of fields in front of a boss that if you place your own field and you use the blast that it should prioritize your field over the rest.

For example, If I’m an Ele and I use Lava Font and then a Guardian uses his Symbol and what I want is to support my team with Might, I should be able to do so, instead of giving Area Retal which is already applied with the Symbol so basically I wasted my Blast on a boon that’s not needed for my team. And since Symbols help Guardians do damage I can’t say stop using your symbols.
That’s why I think this should be implemented… It would actually add more teamplay.

I don’t know how come this hasn’t been asked before, but what really is starting to bug me are situations where you place a combo field and if you use a Blast it just chooses a random field to Blast.

Our Blasts should be able to prioritize our own Combo Field, right?

IF this is real here’s my input:
1) Passive I can work with
2) Active just doesn’t make any sense. We already have low recharge time on attunement and ANet said that Ele’s core gameplay is switching attunements. If they charged the active to suit us better it could be worth the Elite skill title

Any since everyone is posting their idea of the skill here’s how it will probably end like:
1) Quickness 2 sec
2) Quickness CD 5 sec
3) Skill Cooldown 60 sec

Why not give other professions a try? I have 8 different lvl 80 characters and after I thoroughly played all of them I decided to go with eles. Yes it’s a hard professions and yes you’ll be frustrated a lot when you see what other professions can do… but being an Ele in GW2 is more about having the heart for it!

With Rush you still take damage while RTL was invincible.

Thanks, that type of input is exactly what I needed

You can always experiment. It’s a good combo, I can see it work in WvW when you need to blast water fields and give the front lines an extra burst of health.

Now the question is, is it worth switching Toughness for Healing Power. HP scales well with ele, much better then any other so it is worth considering, but untill few dedicated tested had run tests I can’t really give you a straight answer.

I need numbers on these two, which is better in pve encounters, champions, world bosses, when you solo

Ihhhh no 8bit crowns pleaseee. Just a real metalic, king-style crown.

I wish they’d add PvP component for Legendaries just so ANet can troll you guys!! :[ yes with fangs

I’d rather have them take time to make them awesome then to create a mediocre weapons and then 3 months later upgrade their graphics. It makes them look bad releasing unfinished stuff.

I don’t think “it hurts gem store sale” is a good reason enough. More sales come from Makeover Kits and whatnot then those upgrade extractors and they know it.

Still if you haven’t learned so far, if there are enough supporters fo the idea ANet will eventually listen to the players.

So I was thinking instead of our current system where every new infusion overwrites your old one, we should be able to add their effects. Best explained on an example:

- You have 1 piece of ascended armor and a craftable +5 Infusion on it.
- Now what I suggest is that: if you wish to increase it to +6, you could craft/buy from TP another +5 and add it to the same piece and the system would count those two like it does in Crafting Stations resulting in a +6 infusion

And what makes a Cmdr from opposite server come and pull their pet and mess up with your pet

The thing is and I don’t know if this applies still…
if you purchased an EU version of the game, it’s locked to EU, so you won’t be able to play on your account if you move to USA.
You will have to purchase a new game, or hopefully contact the support and see if an arrangement can be met.

This is not correct. There will be no issue playing on an already registered account but there could be problems with like buying gems (support can help there).

As long as the game is registered in the correct region, you can access the game from anywhere in the world.

Yes you are correct. My mistake for not checking the FAQ. Here are all the infos for people who have any misconceptions about this like I had:
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/27658858-Game-Regions

I’ve always been pro for Mounts in this game. It would make exploring much more appealing then WPing from place to place, and the only time you’d explore the land is for the Gift of Exploration.

As for flying Mounts people overreact that you’d be able to cheat… Look at the FLying Broom, you can’t fly to the end of the JP, it’s still limited by the edge and basically you’d have to jump with it to jump over an obsticle.
Flying mounts can still be related to Hovering Mounts You know nothing like 10 feet in the air but just hovering over a ground, like a Baby Dragon or some high-tech asura thing, or some metalic hoverboard for Charrs, etc..

Also, having race-specific mounts would make things easier, especially for the Charrs

Glenstorm.4059:

Well, if you played GW1 and have linked accounts via the Hall of Monuments, you can get the Icelord’s Diadem from the Eye of the North.

It’s a pretty awesome crown skin. I have it on my Necro, who’s named “Prince of Wails.” :p

Ehhh I don’t like that one, looks wierd on most of my characters

Chasind.3128:

I agree, I want a crown for my human! +1
(that is actual armor & doesn’t take away hair/makes you bald)

Oh this! I forgot to mention this! hahaha NOOOO BOLDNESS

I’m really jealous at Charr’s heavy ascended for getting a crown-like helm. We should be able to have a fancy-smancy Crown on our own, King Joffrey style

OptimistPrime.9283:

Because they are not landmarks. If you go on vacation and see a lovely valley, you do not say “if only this spot right here that I am viewing this valley from had a name”.

Vistas are just ways for the game to say “isn’t this beautiful?” It does not get a name because why would it?

Well when you’re a tourist you bring your tour guide and there they explain what you’re looking at. Here you have Vistas pointing at some objects that you know nothing about, a lot of times it doesn’t even have a PoI.

It makes sense that I should know what I’m looking at at the current Vista, and not just some random scenery (which most Vistas don’t even show)

Mounts have not been rejected, there’s just divided opinions on them just like there are divided opinions on the current LS, some like it some don’t. Don’t generalize things just because you don’t like the idea.

EDIT: On subject this is the official mount topic that Mods send you to:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/suggestions/Merged-Think-Mounts-outside-the-box/page/16#post3458461

S/F is great for survivability so going zerker can really be good. But…
I’d go 10/30/10/10/10,
Ele without all those damage boosts aren’t great at zerk.

- Since you’re main spike comes from Air and not Fire you don’t need that 20%cd on fire.
- Also EA is good but you have Focus so that extra survivability isn’t needed from EA
- Also I’d go 20% faster Air recharge instead of 10% more in Air just because Lightning Spike and Swirling Wind are that great.

Other then that you’re good

P.S. Arcane Brilliance in this kinda build isn’t most effective, I’d still go Dwayna’s Prayer or GoLE. If you’d go S/D then Brilliance and Arcane Blast could work out for some major Might stacking. We need a Spike Heal in a 1 on 1 situations where your build shines so I’d go with one of the above heals.
-Also you need those damage boosters in Air, Earth and Water trees.
- Might consider switching Arcane Blast for Armor of Earth (depending on situations), although I’d still keep it, but sometimes you need that Stability and Protection.

The only thing I can think of improving is to make Fire Elemental at range, giving them ether Fireball or Lava Font, they’re too weird following people around and have no particular use against moving foes.
Air elemental is the only thing that work in range but since it has stun, it’s base damage is a lot lower then Fire.

The only who should stay at melee is Earth for tanking and Ice for healing. I don’t get how Embers get to be the improved versions of Fire Elemental and available to everyone while we’re stuck with a 1hit KOed FIre Ele

I have no idea what’s with this hate towards Queensdale champ train. If you’re leveling there’s no way you can solo a champ with your blues and greens.

I never encountered any problems with the champ train and I usually do my daily in Queensdale everyday so I have no idea why is everyone hatin’

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Please, ArenaNet, do not make large-scale ‘raid-type’ content instanced. I prefer it the way it is. Thank you.

I 2nd this! Or 100th this! It’s way more fun in these large fights!

You guys get too much carried away with the hype each release. I used to be like that but I’ve gotten numb towards the hype. trust me it works better then creating in your imagination what it should look like.
