I just had the worst discussion about zerker meta.
Not only was it the normal “zerker needs nerf, zerker is braindead and def sets are more skillful”, they also had messed up ideas like “if you go full def set, you should get a 5x damage boost”.
Well other than the obvious “first world problems” that this entire thread is, getting a ton of shards is still possible, just that dungeons got removed from the list of “repetitive activities that award skill pts” now – SW, champ farm or PvP tracks are still good enough. Not a big deal anyways, those that want them will still grind them one way or another.
But why remove them? It’s kind of a base ingredient in this game, required in many places. It doesn’t hurt if we get a shard/run in dungeons (even if it’s daily per path), instead of making people run EVEN LESS dungeons, because there aren’t many incentives to run them anyway.
Or that’s anets plan, slowly take away every incentive to run dungeons to then remove them completely. /tinfoilhat (I’m not serious with that, obviously.)
Also the same elitist who put smoke field on dredge and blamed people for dying when he blinded the mobs. lel
There go my sides. Thanks.
The worst elitist pug is when I enter fotm with necro and get kicked despite being better than all of them

It’s my connection. It’s definitely my connection. Been rubberbanding around the map at circa 2-6k ping since the patch, it’s totally my kittening connection.
Oh, a rare landshark. What a beautiful sight.
If you skipped my wall of text I actually do have a discussion point. What if a boss just got an insane retal buff when stunned? How would you see this affecting gameplay? Good or bad?
I think that would be pretty bad, seeing how people would either quickly pull the buff (if possible) and then continue, or if that’s possible pretty much have to sit out/only do a tiny bit of damage, which pretty much negates the reward you get from successfully CCing a boss. Imo, bosses should, by default, be immune to CC and only be affected by it under certain circumstances, for example when charging up (specific) skills. When they are vulnerable to CC varies per boss, of course. Having to actually time your CC would make the whole thing more rewarding imo, instead of just “lol deep freeze headshot headshot headshot deep freeze”. That would require a ton of reworks though and even more work to be properly implemented, so it would never happen, even if it was approved as a good idea.
What’s happening ? I am on holiday and go to check the forums and all I see is sumthin’ ’bout guards. Someone enlighten me pleaaase!
Guard has trait that gives more damage on symbols (10%) – it stacks.
Guard has access to 5s quickness on 30s cd.
Guards use hammer, chain quickness, lol ensues.
Also yeah that ^
what is stop this system for then putting 80’s into my group?
i mean you cant see who joins before the actually do this will stop people having to kick everyone and make it automated
kind of like how lfg works in wow
So? There are lots of capped people who want to take the relaxed approach too; kick those who didn’t read the lfg (i.e. trying to rush through the dungeon when your description stated your group won’t do it). It’s no rocket science, really.
Amount of effort needed to implement this = 100.
Amount of effort Anet wishes to spend on dungeon content = -100.So I don’t think this will happen.
Fixed it for you.
The best part is anet never even comes on this forum to defend itself…
Don’t want ‘em to. Don’t want ‘em on the trashcan. Screw their PR bullkitten, I’d rather have silence than empty words. Think I’m alone on this though
We’re two.
Three.
I remember the last time they went in here. “Hey guys, write down suggestions and I’ll forward them” and nothing ever happened. I mean, to be fair, she did state (iirc) that it’s no guarantee that something will happen, but kitten that.
Seriously? Buff warriors some more since they don’t have any group buffs…°
Blah.
But it’s cool, gonna get some healing and regen with druid spec, it’s good to enjoy ranger and royally taking it up the kitten at the same time, who wouldn’t wuv it
/uninstall brain’s driversGonna use the tank/healing dungeon shouter build from now on, ain’t nobody gonna stop me. It’s all the rage right now, healer elly is so spring 2015…
° Nevermind, could be revenant. Nice, if that’s the case. Not sure how it’s gonna help them, but it’s good to have an excuse to play it.
spojski crying in corner?
It could’ve been Necro… It could’ve been Necro…

[EU] Lf Guild, chill yet skillful.
:’(
HeX?
I’m actually surprised they’re such a big guild now.
Yes fall damage avoidance was fixed. You can still use the recall portion of the skill mid air. But the save position must be cast while touching the ground. This means no more jumping from cliffs or double jumps.
Insert sadface here
For skipping on necromancer, you’d want to take a weapon set with staff and X/Warhorn, since that’s the most help you can give yourself, skipping wise.
For utilities, switch to Well of Power if you expect conditions that could impair you during your skip, if you know it’s a long skip and you can’t keep up swiftness, use signet of the locust, if you need swiftness but you’re sure it will suffice, take spectral walk. If you get swiftness from other sources, you can leave either out imo. Spectral walk also lets you completely negate falling damage if you use it shortly before hitting the ground (jump down > nearly hit the ground > spectral walk > instantly press the button again for spectral recall > falling damage has been reset > land softly on the floor, like a feather)
Other good utilities include well of darkness and the other spectral skills.
As elite I’d either suggest plague or flesh golem (flesh golem because you can technically just let him charge through enemies, giving you some breathing room), though plague is generally more applicable.
As for skipping itself… Well, sadly most ways for a necromancer to get some breathing room/swiftness include going into combat, which is really something you don’t want. You’d pretty much try to run for your life and once you get into combat, you can use your skills to keep some distance, i.e. Reaper’s Mark, Wail of Doom and whatnot. Death Shroud helps with surviving longer in case kitten happens, and so does a more defensively set up build (since you can retrait freely, make use of it!)
Also, sigils of energy are an enormous help and you should invest into them, as they will make your life as necromancer easier in general – especially when pugging.
Other than that, Necromancer is kind of kittened in dungeons, being the class that performs the worst in them. That being said, it doesn’t mean that necromancer can’t do anything; other classes just can do what’s necessary in dungeons better.
The instance/story is pretty much the same it was before, but it is significantly easier if you go in there with a full group. .
That… that is possible?
Isn’t it obvious? They’re slowing phasing out dungeons and fractals. Soon, the original dungeons will be butchered and made into fractal shards and soon after that, an event will happen which makes fractals inaccessible. /nightmarefuel

LoL, oh but these are some speical snowflakes.
My head exploded. Thank you.
ITT: Special snowflakes spouting wrong info and plain bullkitten.
If you don’t want to play zerker k, no one’s gonna force you. Make your own groups, np. Suddenly, you don’t have to deal with that “zerker stacking bullkitten” and you don’t have to complain here. Everyone wins.
As for a matter of fact though, if a group of skilled people runs the same path in zerker and then in, lets say clerics gear, they will be faster when using the zerker gear, it’s pretty simple.
//lol Scrubby people fail. Zerker doesn’t equal easy mode. Idiots who only spam 1 fail, no matter their gear. Also, not playing zerker doesn’t mean they’re casuals; but then again I don’t know who you teamed up with, so they might be indeed casuals. Then again, there can also be zerker casuals, so yeah.
(edited by NovaanVerdiano.6174)
So I’m wondering… how did they manage to break whisper chat?
but maybe we’re at the start of mixed stats sets. ugh…
Bullkitten. We’re not. lol
Doom or gtfo. That is all.
Why would we get compensation? The core game is just a free addition to the package. The price isnt that bad for standard.
The no character slot on standard edition is questionable. And we dont have much info on everything we have. But those are the only issues. I will happily pay more than £35 for the game. I just wont do it yet. I dont know what im paying for after all.
PS. Kind of sucks that the conversion to £ isnt correct. We are paying more in the UK.
Well, I just think that long-term customers should just get that one character slot when they but HoT; the one you get for the ultimate edition can stay, adding up to two slots for existing players, one for new players.
While the core game is free, it still feels like you’re paying for the core too; even more so with a price tag like this.
I heard you get the short end of the stick quite often when it comes to pricing. Sucks indeed.
“Players who recently bought the GW2 core game can get a refund from the support so that they don’t have to pay again.”
Aaaaand the long time players get what as compensation…?
New Vegas was better. :v
Better, but buggier :P
<fanboigush>
Actually, I don’t think I could say which was better. They’re both so far above…well…any other games in my opinion, the differences between them don’t matter.
</fanboigush>
Yeah, but most of those bugs were hilarious!
Neither, play Fallout 3 instead. Get hyped!
:D
New Vegas was better. :v
Ryn, in case you never watched it, the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. A bit older, but still a great animu (except the endless eight arc, kitten that)
When we get closer to Fall we need to do a list of you guys that are playing Whiteside on EU!
I always thought Whiteside Ridge has a population of about 10 people in total?
Not that Whiteside Ridge,
The “Whiteside” ya know? The one F2P at Fall!
I’m going to be there at EU
Ohhhh. I actually don’t know which server I’m jumping on, ping tells me to jump on EU, but if 90% of the people will be on NA…
Dungeons should scale up though. Just like fractals. I understand the avoidance of scaling up in open world. But it doesnt make sense in instanced content.
I can agree here, aside from the stories.
Fractals do this I believe.
Fractals indeed do this. You can technically run a fractal with 5 Lv2 characters. (Guys do it!)
//If you have less than three stats, you naturally get Nomad stats assigned instead. That’s the only logical thing to do.

An excellent solution to…wait, what was the problem again?
I like salt on my forums as much as the next guy does. But right now I swear there is enough salt around here to bury my t-bone like six feet under.

I think the amount of upboats i recieved makes it clear who won that one.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3aamx8/gw2_lash_and_love/csatnlt
Upboats, heh.
Always been curious about warframe, never gotten around to it though.
It’s a dressed up gear grinder. No, really, that’s all you can do – grind gear. It’s like Diablo, only more action paced, more involved.
It’s kind of that. You have a good amount of gametypes to choose from and just play, it’s fun though and you have a ton of weapons/warframes to pick. Still has some good content, for example they added an raid not too long ago which supports 8 players (usually you can go in groups of four) and is quite a bit more difficult/requires more coordination than normal content – on top of that, said raid also has a nightmare variant, which makes the whole raid even more punishing.
Tl;Dr: If you enjoy FPS and don’t mind some grind, it’s a pretty good game, especially considering it’s free. Also has content that requires coordination and whatnot.
This still needs to be fixed.
(Maybe pre-purchasing the HoT ULTIMATE edition will fix it?)
Well since we are purchasing the base game again….can we at least get the bugs fixed in it?
No, since you get the base game again, you get twice the bugs.
Wildstar Level 10 dungeon. Most fun Ive had in bloody forever. The clutch heals, the dodging. AHAHA
I need bind dodge to button like in gw2 though that doubletap is killing me.
TY NovaanVerdiano and NoTrigger (iirc) for the propaganda.
Welcome.
I need to get started on it at some point too, but Warframe and other games are taking a lot of time from me, would be a waste to activate my code now.
They should’ve just given the godkitten character slot to everyone who already owns GW2 – The slot is about 10€ value and so is the base game after countless of times where it was on sale for as cheap as 10€.
But nah, rather kick long-time customers in the face.On a side note, is the forum loading slowly for anyone else today?
Very slowly for me. 1.5-3 mins for page load, and like 3-4 mins to post something. Not that the forum being broken is anything new or surprising.
Oh, good. Well, “good” in the regard that I know it’s not my new ISP having trouble.
Im sorry call me pessimistic all you want, but in about a year from now, instead of having biweekly Gemstore weapons/outfit patches, we are going to have Gemstore weapons+outfits+new guild decoration skins+new glider skins
Not really looking foward to more feature where they can overabuse Gemstore, because I see it happening already
Decorations can be obtained from the Scribe discipline, Deluxe edition of HoT and various ingame rewards (with focus on group play)
….it’s their one chance to make good instanced content, this Challenging Group Content with some interesting / unique rewards (guild hall decorations)
You mean, like back then with fractals? Which they then butchered? Calling a guildhall reset at some point now. :v
(Fractals are still the best instanced content next to Arah imo, but if ANet didn’t step up their game by a lot, the instanced content will most likely be a disappointment.)

Wow, it only took the support three hours to deal with my request and let me get into my account again, I’m actually impressed that it was that fast. Expected with a day or two wait, especially since there was a note that they have “a lot of tickets to work on”.
Right now I have two codes for Wildstar (Standard Edition) I can give away, does anyone want one? Just shoot me a PM or something.
Another “berserkers are faceroll stand in one spot and spam” post
Do those people even have a brain or something that remotely resembles one?
Day 1, fractal solo going badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavjGjFPfUs&feature=youtu.be
10/10 lob. Wow.
Aw, I’m late to the party again.
There are plenty of good games out there though!
That might be the case, but at the same time reddit is probably the most known site you’re posting on and it’s new, important information you released there. Not sure if you (guys) ever advertised gw2dungeons in a similar way etc.
The (RNG) gods left Tyria long ago, sorry.
These people in reddit…
I have lost count how many of these I have had to deal with during last few days.
A german Guild Wars 2 news site featured your discoveries in a dedicated newspost. :v
Casuals are already drooling over the newest revealed Revenant Lenged: Ventari, Healing Power. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/38ih79/revenant_compassion_as_a_way_of_life/crv9jkb
Quoting some:
PHIW 1: “Healing Power looks like it could be very exciting in HoT! and the inclusion of a brand new purely support play style for the Revenant, I’m really hoping that ArenaNet is working on making investing in Healing Power on other classes viable in any game mode”
PHIW 2: “This looks like it’s going to require a really high level of skill to use effectively!”
So we can safely assume that 90% of the Revenants in Pugs are going to be heal based. Woohoo.
As for Wildstar, you get 10 days for free, then you gotta pay (as of now), right?
Which one looks better? I felt like wasting money (I promised myself not to waste money on dyes, see? I’m doing it!) so I bought the watchwork shoulders…
The first, no doubts. Though I’d prefer it even more without the shoulder piece.
Ooh, a break from the usual anti-zerk PHIW threads! Looks like we’ll be having fun with TP entitlement today: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Blatant-TP-manipulation
I should stop following links to other sections of the board. Gives me a headache every time.
now try to dodge mossman attacks while having engis spamming grenades and 3 mesmers on team spamming clones
Maybe we’ll get a particle effects slider with HoT.
Maybe we’ll even get two. One for allies, and one for foes.
I mean, this has been a requested feature since the betas, so maybe they’ve been working on it for a long time, especially since it’d be good for e-sports?
I doubt it.
The solo is just crazy, great job.
