Guild Wars 2

This is where it starts.

Hello, I have two questions about the runes of the traveler.

My first question is, what exactly is included in “all stats”. Does that mean +10 to power AND attack? or just to the attributes on the right column of the attributes bar, or just the left side ones?

my second question is, does the +25% movement speed work in-combat?

Thanks a lot.

I can’t even believe you had the audacity to create this thread.

I have a ton of exp boosters and I have no idea where a good place to get kill exp is. I was thinking capping camps in wvw but I have no clue. Any help please?

I agree to any flamethrower buffs

+1

Besides crafting, I’m wondering what is the fastest way to level. I have tons of exp boosters but kills don’t seem to net much exp, or atleast IDK where to use them. Any help?

I recently popped my Birthday EXP booster and went on an exploration spree across low level zones, killing yellow named mobs and clearing quiet corners of these zones.

With the exp boost, a level 3 creature can yield around 250 exp + 800 exploration exp, and they take 2 seconds to kill. I got from 70-80 with 19 hours remaining in my birthday booster.

Hope this helps!

what is exploration exp?

Gallrvaghn.4921:

CMstorm.8679:

get a birthday booster, exp booster, food and oil/crystal/stone xp buffs, banner xp buff

I think the OP was asking where to go killing and doing events and stuff to maximize the use of a normal booster and not those boosters you mentioned.

this

Just need some suggestions on where to farm kills with a normal experience booster.

there are tons of spirit weapon traits, it seems like it could be fun.

reduces recharge on spirit weapons by 20%
spirit weapons are not destroyed when commanded
increases spirit weapon damage by 50%
spirit weapons cause burning
spirit weapons last 50% longer

thoughts?

Berelious.3290:

Oiy vey, not this again… If people want to duel in a private instance or PvP setting, go for it. But please not in open world. Even an option to disable dueling isn’t enough. I don’t want to be whispered “Duel me! Duel me!” over and over again, or be harassed in map chat, or have their guildies start in when I block. I’ve had it happen to me, I’ve seen it happen to others. Put it in PvP if you want, but keep it OUT of PvE!!!

If you are being trolled through pm, map chat and then by multiple people of the guild, it’s probably not about dueling whatsoever. Also, report them and they will get banned. But I have a feeling you aren’t innocent if a ton of people dislike you enough to get everyone to troll you.

Also @ the arguement of “game isn’t balanced for 1v1”
….how is that even an arguement…just because it isn’t balanced doesn’t mean it isn’t fun. We’re not asking for dueling brackets or some crap, we just want to be able to fool around and fight our friends without having to teleport to the mists, find an open, empty server, wait for the game to start, meet in the middle and hope that no one elae joins. That is autistic.

Vol.7601:

OK guys I think we need some clarification by OP.

What do you mean by no reward? You got no droppable loot? No champ box?

Or by no reward do you mean you got insufficient exp, karma and coin despite getting a gold medal?

I DID get loot off the body, I got the bag like always. I did NOT get the normal amount of rewards for completing the evenr, as seen in the picture. I don’t rememer how much exp and karma you usually get but it is much more than what I recieved.

I really like the spell effects of guardian

Charr is by far the best for engi. It fit’s their lore personally and is a cool race.

That’s what I’ve been asking since the beta weekends.

there is no DR at work here.

i often stand at Boar for hours at a time, just chatting and waiting for the train to do its circuit.

I can do Boar multiple times (try 30 or more) whilst stood there and i get zero DR.

zero DR.

zero.

D.

R.

it’s all about the two distinct and seperate thresholds:

one threshold determines your contribution level the other determines your reward.

as i said earlier, going by the numbers on your screenshot, you did hardly any damage and so did not get a reward, regardless of contribution level.

DR.

i do the train all the time and get full rewards. The one time I did boar three times i did not get full rewards.

DR.

okay, youre a brickwall and i give up.

btw, i am standing at boar right now and getting no DR.

Well your explanation of me “not doing enough damage” is clearly not valid because I attacked for the full duration and have always done enough damage. Oh well, guess we’ll never know unless a dev tells us.

For all those saying this is Diminishing Returns…

It Isn’t.

You can do Troll>Bandit>Oak>Spider>Boar>(Wasp) all day long if you want to and you will get zero DR.

You obviously dont do the Queensdale Train.

The reason the OP didnt get a Bag was because of the reasons that Lindbur and I stated.

I have personally killed that Boar over 3000 times, so i think i know more than a little about this particular subject.

this thread needs closing now.

Sorry, you’re wrong. It was diminishing returns like the other guys said. It was because i was afk at boar for a while and came back to kill it 3 times in a row, causing diminishing returns. Other guys were right.

Hey guys, thought I’d share a video I made of a cool bug that was in the GW2 beta. Wish they never took it out.

so I just killed the champion boar in queensdale and only got 245exp, 3 karma and 2 copper…what’s up with that? contribution level was gold.

If it was good RNG, I would be fine with it.

Sadly it isn’t.

which is why I typed “if”

I disagree. Look at TF2 for an example, the keys for rng crates in that game are sold more than anything else. Then again, gw2 crates are complete garbage but that doesn’t mean the actual process is bad. The rewards are bad. They need to buff the crates so people actually buy keys, like in TF2.

So you agree selling junk in RNG gem store items is bad. :P

That wasn’t what the OP was about. the op was about ALL RNG. If it was good RNG, I would be fine with it.

wondering if I should spend some laurels on gear chests.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and it would be very difficult for an inexperienced player to top the knowledge that’s been assembled over the past year by some of the top players. Benefit from their experience and learn to play the game well… then you can deviate and make your own educated playstyle decisions.

yes, knowledge is gained from experience, but the thing is this guy has videos of him 1v3ing using his builds and he wins…so one one side there is video proof of him succeeding with his builds and on the other side there are TONS of pro players saying it’s the worst build they’ve seen. I am so confused and torn as to what types of builds are good.

people are saying altruistic healing is horrible, but I don’t see any reason why and I would personally use it in game. but if it truly is bad then I shouldn’t run it. I need to know why people say it’s bad.

Nausiation.1469:

guys I’m a noob and I thought this video was legit but obviously it isn’t. Since you all seem to know so much, can someone link me to a good guardian wvw build? thanks

also, why do you say altruistic healing is bad…it seems so good?

It is best at this point to really experiment and experience the guardian class yourselves. Everyone is sorta on their heads about what is the best, but nothing beats raw personal experience and judge for yourself.

You can read guides for ideas but never take anyone of them seriously.

… As for this guide, I can’t make it past the first 20sec not because its bad. But the Narration is making my ears bleed and the constant self praise and boast is grating my brain.

while I do understand what you’re saying, I don’t want to end up buying gear for a build and it end up being complete garbage. There has GOT to be a build that everyone agrees is atleast good, obviously not everyone will believe it’s the best but I just need to know what NOT to build.

Tomorrow im thinking of doing daily quests all day tomorrow with exp boosts. Other than that should we just grind or something or does anyone have a guide or a link to a leveling guide from 1-80 in a short time ?

There was a post on one of the other forums, someone leveled 1-80 in 16 mins, but i think they used tombe of knowledge, i think that’s about the fastest way to 80.

They got 16g and 120,000 glory in under 16 minutes?

obviously not, they used a different method. but it did happen, don’t doubt it.

are you complaining that you stop for a split second to turn on autorun? because that’s your fault, you are messing up. I turn on autorun without stopping at ALL. just hold down w, press the auto run, then let go of w. it’s like…basic human functioning of pressing buttons. I’m concerned for you if you can’t do this.

anyone who disagrees is wrong, because this is not an opinion, it is a fact. If someone buys the game today, it’s as if anet has only updated the game a few times, and almost no actual content.

“just bought the game, it’s a year old, have they added any content?”

“yea, they added adventure box, some pirate stuff, queens jubilee ect.”

“cool where can I play that?”

“you can’t”

If it’s not playable, it’s not new content. We need permanent content. we need map expansions, new races, new weapons, armor, profession, skills, and dungeons. We don’t need 30 new achievements to grind out every two weeks.

As a charr, every time I see a Norn I wish my race had cool armor like that. Anet neglects and abuses the charr race. there are so many amazing armor sets for norn and human, there is like…one for charr. So if you have obviously decided to completely ignore your customers who rolled charr, can we atleast get a race change item so we can switch to a race that actually has armor choices?

So I’ve seen some polar bears standing around various cities as traders and have never heard of them lore-wise. What race is this? I think it would be awesome if they were playable.

I’m still a noob at the game but this youtube channel has some pretty good guardian builds it seems. https://www.youtube.com/user/Tapdatmouse/videos

I know there are some builds for guardian stickied already but they are all endgame and really confusing for a new player. Does anyone have suggestions on a simple pve build for guardian while leveling? thanks.

Hello, I am a level 48 and I have 22% luck. I was wondering what is a good way to get more luck? I found out you get essence of luck through the wintersday boxes. would spending all of my glory on large wintersday boxes then opening them for luck be a good idea? thanks.

title basically. I remember pure of voice use to work on yourself, did they change that?

O.K. It seems it’s probably something with my computer but I don’t know what. Like I said it is a pretty decent computer and should not be taking this long to load. I really am at a loss.

Do you have 32bit or 64bit windows installed?
It makes a MASSSIVE difference.

64 bit

I have a AMD Phenom II X6 1100T processor and a gtx 560 graphics card.

Well something is definitely wrong with your computer then because I play using a Macbook Pro, Win7 64bit, Radeon 6570M graphics card, i7 2.2 Ghz processor, 4GB RAM and most maps load in less than 30 seconds with the exception of LA which can take up to 1 or 2 minutes depending on the time of day (server load combined with my internet being much quicker in the mornings).

I guess so, it has been acting up a lot lately. in fact it blue screened for the first time ever today, not sure what causes that but I guess it’s time for an upgrade.

bump 15 charrrr

I logged on for the first time in a few months, teleported to kessex hills and was randomly placed in an instance where I had to inject toxin into some random thing. I have no idea what this was about, who the characters were, why I was doing it or what I was doing. After destroying the tower I was left confused as to what exactly I just accomplished and why I was forced into it. These living story things punish people who don’t have the time to keep up with previous event.s

They are so expensive though :/ I guess I could save up for one if they really do help with loading times.

I have a pretty good computer, it can run battlefield 4 on high settings fine, and yet it takes a solid 10 minutes for a loading screen to finish in this game. I can’t keep playing if this doesn’t fix itself, and it was never like this when the game first came out.

I found one farming queensdale champions.

title….most in-game purchases don’t have tax. like League of legends.

Vayne.8563:

The zone wide invasions will continue on past this update. They’re not going to stop in two weeks. You’ll still be able to experience them.

way to not read the post and instantly comment.

yea this happens to me also. this patch absolutely ruined the games optimization.

I am NOT saying clockwork is bad, it looks pretty good….and I hear it’s fun. However, it can only be enjoyed TEMPORARILY by level 80s. I’m not level 80 so it’s as if anet isn’t even updating the game. I know the invasions will still happen but not a lot after the event is over. Why have 4 teams working on silly events like this that don’t add any REAL content when they could be adding skills, professions, something big that truly adds to the game.
