ok so a guildie just explained to my the not obvious way to figure this out and I’ll say here in case anyone else wants to know. In your “my story” log it should way which order your in in the 16th entry down the list.
I have a couple different lvl 80 toons and I picked different orders for them. I’m just coming back to play the game and can’t remember which character was with which order. I can’t seem to find anywhere in the interface where it says which order the characters belong to and was hoping that someone can let me know how I can find this information.
Thanks.
I keep telling my guildmates that I report them constantly because that is the only option I have sometimes in the guild menu(joking of course).
I have exotic gear….getting ascended was just a goal for me but your right….I wasn’t able to justify running fractals all the time which is why I said I stopped doing it.
I know this is kinda my issue but I got really annoyed(to the point where I don’t want to do them anymore) with fractals with all the dcing issues such as “your leader has just dced and your party has now disbanded and you lose all your progress.” I’m sorry but no matter what level it is, these situations aren’t fun. I will be happier when they put into place other ways of getting the ascended stuff which I do believe they said they are going to be doing.
The DC issues have nothing to do with grinding though. The reason of this cleverly disguised OP was to point out that there is an extreme grind (but there isn’t)
Also, they are fixing the DC issue tomorrow
It is though. If you want the gear you need to do fractals. Even if that means doing it over and over again because of dcing issues. I’m glad they are addressing the issue although I wish it was before I got to the point that I didn’t want to do it anymore but w/e
It could be an exaggeration, mainly brought on because people are preparing to have fun as opposed to having fun (you know, that thing the April Fools joke called “the Manifesto” said would never happen). Getting low level fractals groups are almost impossible, so you need to rush to higher levels in order to get in on the groups. This requires grind grind grinding to run fractals AT ALL, much less being able to run them regularly. If you are just hitting 80 now and don’t have your exotics, I feel sorry for you. Get to grinding!
So what you are saying is that it requires grind to get gear (which it doesn’t, getting exotics is easy) and this grinding is preventing you from running high level Fractals
There is no “preparing to have fun”, unless your definition of fun for some twisted reason is running high level fractals. Last I checked you don’t have to run high level Fractals to have any fun. If you are below level 80 without even exotics you can do Fractals 1-3 rather easily, 4-6 as a level 80 with greens, there is no grinding required, it IS easy. Also, January patch will allow players to bypass that “problem” of low level Fractals.
No way. Every time there is a community complaint about an Arenanet decision, Anet immediately posts a blog patting themselves on the back for said decision and talking about how happy everyone is that the decision was made.
Not really.
Communication in the form of being told to stfu and quit whining, maybe… and then a blog telling you how happy Arenanet perceives you as being over the change… but that’s about it
If you read their blog posts you would know that’s not true, they do aknowledge their mistakes.
I know this is kinda my issue but I got really annoyed(to the point where I don’t want to do them anymore) with fractals with all the dcing issues such as “your leader has just dced and your party has now disbanded and you lose all your progress.” I’m sorry but no matter what level it is, these situations aren’t fun.

I wish I ran plinx more when I did but I found it extremely boring lol. Fact is that gw2 has changed since release and some people(myself included) view these changes as more of a grind than fun. They are still making changes though so hopefully this stuff will get addressed.
But on the other hand, back then there wasn’t any type of dr. I had a friend of mine that farmed 100g in a week before they put in dr(he was a very focused individual) so I’m sure that helped things before(obviously not karma though).
I believe there were some exploits earlier on that people used(and got banned for and then came back again) for making alot of the precursors.
Edit: In response to the additional people who played earlier on in the game who got the stuff.
Edit 2: and I agree with your statement regarding if your not having fun do not play the game.

The only thing we’ve gotten so far is that ANet plans to put in a precusor scavenger hunt which would greatly freshen up one part of acquiring a component of Legendaries.
And who knows when they will start working on that based on a recent post: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/250635-wheres-the-scavenger-hunt-post/
Get the mats yourself?
Seriously. It’s possible (didn’t say PROBABLE) to just play the game and eventually get all the mats you’d need for a Legendary. You don’t HAVE to buy anything off of the TP.
Fixed that for you. It is possible, just highly improbable, and practically impossible. Especially if you want a specific legendary or, you know, at least one your class can use.
Thanks and I hope this gives you an honesty check.
You know, these are LEGENDARY weapons. If you were meant to farm them up in 6 months, they wouldn’t exactly be LEGENDARY, now would they?
All I see when people kitten about Legendary requirements are a bunch of riled up, entitled players who think they have a divine right to every weapon in the game. Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it takes a long time.
NO. DUH.
Play the game. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing in the game, you should probably do something else, or stop. A-la If you aren’t having fun getting a Legendary, don’t get a freakin’ Legendary.
My problem with the legendary weapon is the rng of it. It doesn’t involve time(1000 hours or 100)….it simply involves being lucky. You can spend months/years(depending on your game play) throwing weapons into the mystic forge with the chance to get lucky to get the precursor. Or you can grind hundreds of gold and buy it on the TP. Or get really lucky and get it in an event. Or you can get it on your 5th try with the mystic forge. I don’t feel like I should be entitled to a legendary weapon…..I just want to have the same chance as someone else that has invested the same amount of time into trying to get it. If you want to call that me feeling like I should be entitled I guess we have different definitions of what that means.
granted, it has been a couple weeks since I have played but is anyone doing lost shores for anything other than grinding shells for the apothocary gear or the rich ori vien? Its cool that they are releasing new content but I think it would be a better idea to improve the content that already exists.
I have 3 character at level 80 and about 1200 hours into the game and I have stopped playing a couple weeks ago. Once you get to end game you don’t have to grind if you don’t want to but then you have nothing to do. The problem I think that anet is having at the moment is that the end game content isnt’ fun(at least imo). If it was fun, then it wouldn’t be labeled a grind. I have played games alot longer than I have played gw2 so I know that there is some gaming formula out there that does work better(at least for me) than what I experienced in gw2. I keep hearing that gw1 didn’t get to be a good game until after the first expansion so I’m hoping that after anet changes some things that it will be fun to play. If the game isn’t fun to you and feels too grindy all I can suggest is to check back after they changed things and see if it works better for what your looking for.
Once the scavenger hunt process starts, all Precursor prices will plummet far more than after the Karka chest. So if you’re patient, you can get what you want for reasonable prices.
Have they said when this was going to be put in? There are a number of things that still need to get addressed in this game and I have my doubts that stuff like will get addressed any time soon.
I saw a bot and recorded what I saw. I uploaded the video to youtube and submitted a link to http://support.guildwars2.com In the video I also made sure to right click and choose the report options to show the account name. I got a response back in 10 minutes(at 1am) indicating that they reviewed the video and that the account was banned.
Edit: The bot was using an exploit to move around so that may be why it got the quick response it did.

Thanks for the info.
I just got my warrior up to level 80 and one of the utility skills I picked is endure pain. The tooltip currently states that the duration is 5 seconds but it seems to only last 3 seconds. Is this a bug or is the tooltip simply wrong?
Thanks.
^No building siege in a Jumping Puzzle entrance is just being an bleep. Anet should, as soon as possible, make entrances invulnerability zones. Heck, make the whole puzzle one except for the built in traps. This way at least PvE’ers who just want to try the puzzle for the achievement can.
Building siege inside a puzzle….. bunch of obnoxious…. <insert glare>
To the OP and Phoenix, good on ya’ and keep it up! If you see punks camping in there, wipe THEM out instead.
The more people who do build siege and camp players from other servers to the point where it isn’t fun anymore(and complaining about it on the forums), might be the point where anet might change some of these mechanics. I personally don’t do this as when I am looking for wvw pvp, I go participate in a fort seige or something that will actually help my server with points but to each their own I guess.
Secret way of getting badges from jump puzzle → camp jumping puzzle, kill players get badges
don’t tell anyone otherwise it won’t be a secret anymore.
server maintenance apparently.
I missed the in game message and I can’t seem to find this anywhere on the forums….did they say how long it was going to be down for?
This is annoying.
I usually say something such as “We are trying to upgrade the tower/keep…please do not take the supply” Its usually after people contineu to take it is where I tell people to stop being lazy and all that. I do hope that anet addresses this because not only will it help with allowing for less frustration with people on the same server(who ideally should be working together), it will also address the issue I have been seeing people talking about with the conspiracy theory of people transferring to enemy servers to use the supply putting them at a disadvantage.
as one of my guildies would say….why am I going to let them get blueprints that would allow them to kill me later?
I had a situation tonight that seems to be something I unfortunately see often. My guild is trying to do an upgrade on a tower and someone(in this case a couple members of a guild) comes along and takes the supply so that we don’t have enough to continue with the upgrade. We call them out about it and needless to say there was a number of immature comments made. GW2 does not really support staying at a keep/tower and spending your own money to try to defend and upgrade it other than trying to put your server. I’m sure that I am not the only one that has been experiencing this and am wondering what have people done to dealt with this?
Thanks.
there is appr. 25% chance of 4 rares proccing into an exotic. To my knowledge, you have about the same chance to get the precursor as any other exotic.
Edit: I think you do need to have lvl 75+ though
let me know if you find anything out….I have recently(it was running fine before) been having the bsod too….sometimes a couple times a night but only when playing gw2. My computer runs all day wile I’m at work without a problem but when I’m running gw2 is when it starts having a problem. I also have an nvidia card.
Thieves aren’t Op at all. Take stealth away from them, and they are not a thief.
The real problem is the rendering issue which Anet fails to address and “fix” (can it even be fixed?). Anyways, nerfing thieves into the ground isn’t a good solution.
The have addressed this and have indicated they are working on solutions for this https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Can-you-fix-it-culling/first#post758110
I just spent all night in the Maguuma BL and I have to give them respect for the hours long battle with EBay over Dreaming Bay. That was an absolutely epic back and forth. It is too bad our crew is getting a bit light as I was really enjoying the fight. I’m looking forward to a good match this week.
That was an awesome(and long) fight…..glad I was able to be part of it
Maguuma keep….doing whatever it is you do
Mostly we pretend to be ducks.
This reminds me of me when we get a keep
Sup level/lol (^^) you should come join us on maguuma….fun times
I was doing the jump puzzle in eternal and I saw an enemy player flying up onto a ledge. It was very obvious that this person was hacking. I went to try to report the player but I didn’t see any options of hacking or anything that would even apply. There isn’t an option for even typing in the situation to explain what happened so I am left to wonder what is the appropriate way to report hacking?
Not too sure about the specifics of perma stealth but if you have an elem around have him conjure a frost bow(someone else can get the second one). When the thief comes out of stealth(and can be tabbed to as someone mentioned is possible), hit the number 5 ability. Even if the thief goes back into stealth, the shot goes off and will freeze the thief in place which will be very obvious by the large block of ice in the air at this point just nuke that area and dead thief. I’m not defending thief stealthing but just giving options.
My human female is a mesmer. Mesmer to me just seems a bit more of a feminine class even though I’m sure others might have a different opinion….to each their own. I do have male toons too just in case it matters.
but the important thing is that the dye drop rate has been corrected
thanks for posting this. I am leveling up a elem now and its great to see what they are capable of.
“I get a ton of satisfaction denying folks badges, especially when it’s 3 to 1 or worse… which is common. If I feel like I’m getting rolled… then I think its my duty to make your victory as shallow as possible.”
I’m in wvw a bit and have hundreds of those badges so it doesn’t really bother me if someone alt+f4. I kinda feel that I’m doing something right if someone feels the need to alt+f4 as opposed to being killed by me.
I saw this happen tonight in wvw a couple times with the same toon. while armor repairs are mildly annoying I think alt+F4 is more effort than what its worth….maybe unless they get some satisfaction out of knowing that you didn’t kill them or something
I agree….clock tower was awesome. It was frustrating but I enjoy a good challenge and I do hope they put more challenging content into the game like this.
human
mesmer
no speed buffs
I am wondering about this too. I have completely restarted the game and still experiencing this issue
I didn’t get anything out of mine but at least the other items that came out of the chest are more useful.
I spent money on keys for the chests and I did not get anything. I posted that I was disappointed and that I most likely would most likely not spend money on rng stuff again from arena net. Its not entitlement….simple cause and effect. I believe that a number of people feel the same way. Arena net has choices for how they want to deal with this situation. They could have done nothing and most likely have people not spend money in the future because of the experience. Another option is to do something else to try to provide some positive reinforcement to try encouraging people to spend money in their store so they can continue to make money and provide awesome content.
someone actually made that suggestion earlier today and anet responded by thanking them for the suggestion….we’ll see what happens.
some people have gotten stuff out of the chests already…it has already started
I spent a bit of money for keys and honestly I am a bit discouraged with the low drop rate. In my opinion, it is better to reward the people who are willing to spend money to try to get the gear….it will positively reinforce the decision of spending money so that they might do it again in the future. At the moment I really don’t think I will be spending money again trying to get keys for the chests for this or any other event.
agreed…..awesome costume…do not regret spending my gems on this ^^
they are under the mini pets (Special) section of the collectible area. I was hoping that maybe they would create the “chainsaw the skeleton” mini but either that is obtained another way or maybe it needs to proc like rares to exotic.
Gave me a normal mini fire imp. Just to let people know.
