Guild Wars 2

What are the areas you need to explore for this event excactly? I’ve been to the tower, the main area, and both the SPvP areas, so what am I missing? I’m on 3/4 right now. Would love some clarification on this.

The front gate at that tower has a cliff behind it, and the enemy spawn point behind that. Puts you in a tight spot. We set up ballista to cover the catas, a treb to take out their siege in the tower, and the catas to break down the wall. Flawless execution.

Went into it not knowing anything, didn’t read any guides or ask for any help. Took me around 15-20 attempts with a massive norn char. The difficulty is fine.

If you can’t even get off the first platform maybe you should go do something else….. The JP is fine the way it is, it’s meant to be hard, and the difficulty is perfect.

Been covered a couple posts down by a dev, it’s being fixed, should be soon.

DON’T NERF IT!!! It’s just fine. People need to sop QQ’ing and get better at jumping I finished it in about 15 tries with a massive male norn….anyone should be able to do it.

Strat my guild and others used in taking down a tower a couple days ago. Great example of a server coming together. You see SoS…we brought more soldiers than you did…

Video is posted at the very top of the page there.

There are a TON of players who farm the dragon chests. They’ll wait for hours just for Jormag, Teq, and the Shatterer. All 3 of those fights take a long time and give a chest at the end. There are many other fights that give the exact same reward, and are MUCH easier. The Flame Elemental in the Asura starting zone, the big worm in the Sylvari area, the Shadow Behemoth, I know the Charr and Norn areas have one too.

Why are people only going after the dragons when they’re harder, it’s like they don’t even know about the others. I say in chat that Shatt is up, and like 20 people come out, I say flame elemental is up, and nobody, even though the fight is WAY easier and gives the EXACT SAME reward.

Please spread the word of these events around, I’d like to see the popularity of these bosses go up, as 2-3 manning them isn’t much fun lol.

I’m using a GS and scepter/focus build right now that’s 30/0/20/20/0

Anyone have a great PvE Build? My build right now is full PVP and is great for PvP, but I need something for soloing mobs, such as in finishing the story quest. Not really looking for a support build for dungeons, just something that’s really effective at PvE.

Been with these guys over a year, happy to be an officer in this awesome guild. Head on over to the website and check us out for sure, videos are posted there and everything!

But shouldn’t the top achievement be at 3 ticks, not 2?

Same here with the boss out of the doors. I think we need some clarification of how these achievements are working. I’m wanting that title lol.

Couple quick questions. Here is what my Halloween achievements are looking like right now. I know that a mad king’s world, and attend the party are coming in the future acts, but…

1) Are there any Halloween events in the game yet to complete for “Halloween events completed?”

2) As you can see, I have 3 achievements maxed, but my “Emissary of the Mad King” achievement only says I have 2. Is this a bug? Anet able to clarify on this?

Well, you answered 2 and 3, not 1 and 4 though lol.

1) I’ve completed 3 achievements for Halloween, but have no progression towards the “Emissary of the Mad King” achievement. What’s up with this? What am I missing?

2) Is the “Mad King World” and “Attend the Party” achievements coming in future acts, or can I access them now?

3) Is the Mad King’s Clock Tower jumping puzzle in the game yet, or is that coming in another act as well?

4) Where are the Halloween events needed for the achievement located?

Thanks for all your help.

Nope, if I have the chainsaw skeleton, it shows everyone that I had the other 3 at some point. No real point in having all 4, when the last one is better to show off.

I usually trust everyone in an MMO with crafting things (besides EvE which allows scamming lol). Mainly because scamming is illegal in most MMO’s, including this one. Someone scams you, report them, simple as that.

But yeah…get the mats and you can get the skin any time lol.

0/10 So far best holiday event I’ve seen in an MMO.

Here is my contribution

In the overflow now lol

If the volunteer guilds aren’t on top of it in SOR then I’m coming to desolation for the day. There’s nothing going on yet on SOR, not even any announcements lol.

Ah ok, that makes a little more sense. Still, would have liked to see some news about this somewhere that has been updated recently. Just wanting to know what’s going on.

I’m on Sanctum of Rall, so I’m in one of the servers where the event is being held. Just a little upset at the lack on information that we’ve been given about it, especially because it’s supposed to be for breast cancer awareness. We should know what’s going on, at least from a facebook posting.

Anet has been mighty quiet about this for a couple weeks. It’s supposed to be today, is it still going on?

Titles in GW1 didn’t clutter at all, you needed to mouse over the toon or hit ALT to see them, so all those nameplates on your screen will still just be showing nameplates. Titles need to be more visible like in GW1…

See, that’s how bad it is lol. Yeah if you click on someone with a title enabled, it is displayed right under their health bar on the top of your screen in little light gray font. Terrible way of showing off titles.

In Guild Wars 1, WoW, and in SWTOR (the only other major MMO’s that I’ve played) titles that your character earned were all very visible. It’s hard work to get some titles, and I feel like someone having to click on your character, and squint to see little gray font to see the title, which nobody ever does, isn’t giving enough credit to the person that accomplished the achievement.

I want to see the neat things that people have accomplished, and I know many others wish this as well. So, is there any plans on bringing back a title system like the one that was in Guild Wars 1? Where when you moused over the other character, or held ALT you were able to see their title? I would very much like this brought back, because titles are seriously lacking visibility right now.

The attacks are fine, learn them and they’re all easy to dodge…but holy hell the crystals…

Crystals can’t be dodged and freeze you in place unable to do ANYTHING. Your team is busy running around in circles dodging the SPAMMABLE AOE 1 shots that he casts so you can’t break out, then he casts said AOE’s on you, killing you while you’re frozen. So srsly anet, make these crystals dodgeable, or cut their health into 1/4.

Literally the only broken thing about this boss is the crystals……. why can’t we dodge them, why do we get a 1/2 second animation as a warning to them, why do they have so much health……Fix it, this isn’t a mechanic to be learned, it’s an unavoidable….srsly, 100% unavoidable death. Fix it.

Lol, I’m gonna need to check out all these animations

Ok seriously….anyone else feel that staff number 4 (Empower) is just about the best move ever….I feel like I’m turning into a super Saiyan Norn whenever I use it. There are flashes of power, awesome sound, you go into a sick pose, and you do like double damage when it’s over!!!

Anyone notice how the faces are the exact same mesh of the face of Minister Caudecus

So best guild I’ve ever been in was a guild in WoW named Clan Battlehammer. You can see the type of guild they are here…

I’m looking for a guild like this in GW2. Looking for something with a med-large pop, light RP, PvX, Lots of FUN events (emphasis on fun, you can kinda see what I mean in the video). VOIP is an absolute must, want a strong community.

If anyone has a guild like this please message me in game or reply here and let me know!!! Also, if any battlehammers are floating around in game, let me know where you are

Well I didn’t find this, but I haven’t heard anyone talk about how the faces on the wall, and minister Caudecus share the same meshes lol

Here’s me with the faces, clear pic…

http://i.imgur.com/6W7mq.jpg

So something I noticed about the face on the walls of the CM hidden developer area seen here…

Those faces have the exact same face as Minister Caudecus, seen here…

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/0/0c/Minister_Caudecus_new.jpg

Just an interesting thing I thought I should point out, I haven’t seen anyone else make the connection yet.

There are a couple really good ones. But sadly most are afk giant health pool fights. Anet has awesome moments in dungeons, they just need that across the board, instead on only once per dungeon.

Dante….looks like people are agreeing with me, contrary to what your opinion is. SB didn’t need this….what was it……“unintended” nerf? I want an ANet response saying what they’re going to do about this. Give us SB back, or give us better weapons.

Dante doesn’t play rangers obviously….it is noticeable, and most of the forums agrees with me.

There is no other viable damage wep…if this isn’t how they wanted it to be, then don’t nerf SB, buff the others, because as it is all the others besides the LB are terrible.

Has Anet ever played an MMO……..You didn’t mean to nerf SB at all, you meant to fix an animation error (which I never saw)……and yet you’re ok with this pretty significant nerf??? Not only does it reduce damage by 7%, but it also reduces the bleeds you can stack, further decreasing damage. And….IT"S THE ONLY SOLID DAMAGE ABILITY ON THE SB…..you kinda designed it to be a 1 button spam wep from the start didn’t you……….

Either give us out 40ms back, give the SB more damage abilities, or make other ranger weps more viable (aka melee melee MELEE)……you’re over nerfing us.

sign if you agree

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and even more ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I played GW1 for years, loved every minute of it. The PvE in that game was beyond amazing. I never got bored of any of the content, and the “heroic” mode of dungeons and zones…..omg talk about difficult and rewarding.

However, here in this game is seems like they are missing something, and I hope a dev can comment on this thread to clear some stuff up. Here are my issues…

1) Massive health pools: I would rather that mobs have 1/3 of the HP they have, do double damage, and have 1-2 more effects they do (chills, poisons, aoe, etc). It makes for a MUCH more enjoyable experience, and not the, go check Facebook while you auto-attack one we have now.

2) Environmental Dangers: We need more of them. Say for instance during a boss fight half of the fighting arena catches fire, or submerges making the battle switch between underwater, and on land. Moving fire walls, more dodging and twitch skill needed. Makes people need to learn fights again, rather than being to smash 1 through all fights.

Can we get any response as to whether fights in the future of GW2 will be more enjoyable? All of your dungeons are fantastic, but the fights need more mechanics, and less health. Arenanet is an amazingly creative company, I know you can come up with more fun things for us to conquer in dungeons.

So in WoW I was in a large WPvP based all Dwarf guild. We had bi-weekly events where we would mass together and go do something new every time. Here is the link to their website, maybe someone here knows them.

From the pics there and stuff you can kind of get a feeling of the type of guild I’m looking for. If anyone knows of a guild like this, please let me know, or send me mail in game

What does the Fortify Keep Upgrade Do? Does it just strengthen walls even more? Or does it strengthen walls and doors?

Sanctum only has really 2 guilds doing WvW and lots of other pugs, that do the jumping puzzle of sit afk. Sanctum of faces a lot of problems in the WvW area but Fallen Lords is uniting the server and has started an alliance to assist in this matter. However, as things are you never know what will or will not happen when 2week long battle begins.

I’m EST but I’ve been told that Sanctum is a PST server. -_- so yeah arond 6pm pst sounds about right. I know when Server reset happens at 7pm est my guild is there in full force all 300 of us. o/

This is the biggest load of crap I’ve read on the forums.

As I’m writing this, you’re sitting in EB jumping puzzle with pug you pulled and FL.

Pray tell what alliances you’ve made? All ‘alliances’ that you’ve attempted so far have broken apart because you refuse to work with people unless they exclusively use your Raidcall (lol) channel.

EXACTLY!!!! Like I said…look at the image I put in my post, and here http://i.imgur.com/U5x1g.jpg
He’s the biggest liar on the server…..Anyone in FL needs to switch guilds asap….

Before you join this guild, look at what kind of person their GL is…..that is all.

http://i.imgur.com/U5x1g.jpg

Join one of these instead, strongest WvW guilds on the server who all work together.

As you all know….Furanku is the guild leader of FL (fail lords), and you all know he constantly comes into WvW with his commander tag on and does jumping puzzles, trolls, maybe does a little beneficial WvW, but is primarily a bad thing on the server.

He constantly claims that fail lords is the only guild on Sanctum of Rall that is holding the server together, he states it many times in chat, and even on these very forums…..well I would like to show you exactly how beneficial fail lords and their troll guild leader has been………

http://i.imgur.com/U5x1g.jpg

If you are in Fail Lords…and are being told by your GL that your guild is the best on the server, when in fact it’s literally nothing but words….I urge you to reconsider your choice of guilds. Here are some guilds on the server which are VERY active in WvW, and have been excellent at coordinating with one another and actually benefiting the server.

So if you want to WvW in SOR, look to these guilds, which are already communicating greatly with each other, and forming strong ties….and turn away from Furanku and his troll guild.

I would like to show you all how Fail Lords is “UNITING THE SERVER”
FL is doing NOTHING to unite the server….they are elitist, and their GL is a troll…..

Here is the proof…while SM was falling and we were calling for help….this is what Fura told his guild to do….think twice before you run with FL.

Runes? Sigils? Amulet? Other wep set? You have to include these kind of things in a build video.

I recently got Jeweler and Huntsman both to 400. I’ve been able to craft items and make around 30-40 silver profit off of exotic items, but I’m wondering what the real money makers are? Anyone found any good markets to plunge into, or any good strategies to increase my income?

This is an amazing game, been having tons of fun so far and I don’t see it slowing down any time soon! However, there are some minor changes that I want to see, and am hoping a dev sees this post at some point and thinks about it too.

1) I wan’t the guild message of the day to appear every time a person logs in. A pop up would be nice, just to keep people informed about what’s going on in the guild. They rarely check the GMOTD otherwise.

2) In-game guild calendar. For obvious reasons, this would be extremely nice. Having to maintain an out of game guild calendar, and then actually expect people to regularly check it is a huge hassle. Even a basic one until a really nice one could be implemented would be nice.

3) Preview items from the Trading Post. Would be nice to see what I would look like in an item before I buy it.
