Yes you can create custom playlists for certain circumstances (battles, bossbattles, ambient, night for example). I’m on my phone right now so I can’t give you a link but the wiki/google should have a guide for that; it’s pretty simple anyway. Iirc you can’t change the defeated soundtrack though, not that you want to hear that one often. :p

Just got the fractal rifle in 38. Guess it’s time to make an engi :O

You’re quite lucky with skins, huh? Congrats!

16 run streak without a bonus end reward, going strong. Maybe I’ll reach a streak of 20.

haha I hear ya, I’ve been pugging a lot with my engi lately and the delayed blasts and delayed firefields make the experience extra special

But then again, pugs make every experience special, if you want it or not. ;P

^ It is a game within the game. Accurately determine when the current light field will end and try to place the firefield before the next light field appears. Alternatively, you can place the fire field over the light, and as soon as the light ends while your fire persists go blast crazy. ’tis the true test of skill

Guess I have to do that. Though I have to learn managing all those skills with my messed up motor skills first, which will already take a bit. After that I’ll master the art of sneaking my fire fields between other combo fields.

What chest is that Lilith, I like, I understand Novaan though. I might try a brass/gold/silver/steel dye on the eye pieces just seems a little funky being green… though funky goes with the bifrost and the whole look in general, George Clinton would be proud. “Take your normal conventional colors and shove it! I’m going green!”

I decided to make my Mesmer stop looking like such a priss.

The idea is cool, bonuspoints for using green. I don’t like the… uh… glasses? though.

@Jerus: I actually understand that, my PC is crappy as hell too.

Glasses are awesome. :P

I too love glasses, but those just look… weird. Wouldn’t even classify them as glasses. :P The reading glasses or even the monocle don’t look good on her I guess?

I wanted the steampunk.

Okay. Goes well with it, but I’m still no fan.

I tried Ice Bow 5 today and it didn’t work. Clearly that’s a bug, hence why the spider needs to be nerfed

In all seriousness, what exactly is the animation I should be watching for before I freeze her? I have forrest gumped into doing it correctly the last couple of times but not sure if there’s something specific I should know before my luck runs out :P

Freeze her the second she’s around the corner, burst her into oblivion. No rocket science, really.

Would be pretty cool if someone had a youtube video of them farming for this kind of stuff. Not 1 youtube video of farming this!

That’s probably because there usually is no need to farm that at all and you can’t farm them in a reliable way either. Maybe Krait in aquatic ruins, but meh.

So, I got lucky and I actually managed to get Lupi down solo. Thankfully, he only dropped dome once and I was lucky enough to survive the rest of phase 3, although I panicked a bit and he ran off the wall. To be fair, I even think fighting him off the wall in phase 3 is actually a bit easier for me.

With many thanks to deSade, Blessing Nosferatu, Spoj, Enaretos and all my guildies for their support, constant teaching and the ability to bare with my newbish skills!

PS: Yes, my PC is crap so someone else had to record it for me :<

Congrats on your first Lupi solo!

Glad to hear you like her, took me some time to get her right! :P

All the chars posted after my response look great, I especially like the use of the TA-“coat” in combination with the rest. But c’mon Jerus, couldn’t you at least set the graphic settings a bit higher for the screen?

Were irreplaceable.

Btw gabe, i will prob start playing again soon. Might have to wait till the necro preview though.

That’s what a guy that I used to work wit say before they replaced him.

I am hoping that the necro preview is good though, I want them to be seen in teams more and be wanted

All that optimism.
We’re probably going to get longer cast times, a few useless changes here and there and maybe damage buffs on a few skills.

The hammer issues is the least of the issues that afflict Fractals currently. Namely, rewards:time:difficulty.

What’s more beautiful than sitting in a 50s frac, getting cliffside as third fractal, getting close to the arm seals, falling down and having the hammer despawn, forcing you to start over without rewards at all? Bonus points if you had a few wipes before or were just slow.

I suspect necro dagger will get the same treatment as thief dagger. That definately is an improvement but it feels like a temporary solution until a new weapon comes along.

We can totally expect a cleave, but not just on two targets, most likely a true cleave like other classes.

I admire your optimism.

The easy and obvious fix that would “fix” this and perhaps to a lesser degree FGS would be to make it so he doesn’t get stuck in the wall. No need for negating reflect on another boss. That would be a reasonable fix and would make him slightly harder.

But doing this is so much fun!

As nice as the semi cleave for the dagger on thief is, there are fights where I actually enjoy the fact that the daggers don’t cleave, like Yanonka. But those are niche problems I guess.

What annoys me is the Black Powder change. I get it from a pvp point of view but we already have different boon durations in pve and pvp in some cases, different damage for confusion for example and different initiative costs for Pistol Whip in pve and pvp. So why not go all the way and split skills more between pve and pvp. Would make the initial effort greater, but make balancing all around much easier.

And I’m not that much of a fan of the adrenalin changes either.

ANet doesn’t want to have seperate skillpools which is stupid because they already have as you said + it would make things so much better.

May I present, my new Ele. I’m not too sure if I keep the colors of the armor like this or if I even change out the armor as a whole. Need to look at it for a few days to decide.

I do have to disagree with one thing though, I personally think Lupi not using the thunderdome on meleeing characters is an AI issue since if you move around at his feet he still will do it, its only when people don’t move that he doesn’t use it. That isn’t exactly the behavior of a ranged only attack.

He simply tries to catch players who try to move, be it towards him in order to melee him or away from him to get some distance. If you don’t move he has no reason to imprison you imo.

They wanted to test us.

Btw, why does all the cool stuff happen on NA?!

I have been tempted to get myself an NA account on multiple occasions by now simply based on the posts in this forum. I feel with you.

I felt the same about EU so I DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT and now have both. get on it.

I thought about it too, but the thought of having to unlock everything again puts me off.

All you need is 1 80. I had help

If only that would suffice for me… I guess some day I’ll do it, but not now.

It’s not really a tank-stat combo imo, more of a “ultimate passive defensive”. It really is a bit weird though.

Hmmmm. Ok. I’ve never heard of this problem bring mentioned before and it’s pretty strange. As far as I can tell, in spite of it having barred doors, it’s not a separate part of the map and shouldn’t have any way to port you out.

It does however and I had it happen too. You’ll get an NPC saying “What are you doing in there?! We’re going to escort you out!” or something along those lines.

I have dreamed of a weird crossover between Arah and living story events with Mordremoth corrupting creatures already lingering with Zhaitan’s influence but all I got to remember that Lupicus had no grub phase and more green beamy attacks and at 50% another GL broke a wall of arena and you had to fight two.

I didn’t even play GW2 for past 2 days.

Does the second GL drop Tears of Ascalon?

Seals of Beetletun.

I’m becoming the Frifox of SE.

Why shame on you?

Having a weird ranger in my party right now. Spotter, jaguar, frost spirit, berserker gear but camps longbow. Old habits die hard I guess?

Nobody likes SE except me :‘( they all think I’m a wierdo.

Maybe the ranger felt safer at range, not knowing how good you guys are?

I do, I do!

That most likely wasn’t it as we never died, people rarely got downed and we went full melee otherwise and killed everything in an acceptable amount of time. I guess he just loves his longbow.

On a more serious note, yes I’m glad they give out fixed amounts of gold for dungeon paths, although I think it could need a bit more adjustment.

Hm, I can get behind forgetting for something like changing traits as that is usually not directly obvious, but utility skills? Especially a signet that pops up in your boon-bar as well?

Believe me, it can happen. Did happen to me too. I have some classes where I usually have a signet equipped (Necro’s Signet of Spite for example) and if I use a IMS-Signet, I always switch out my normal signet. Sometimes I simply notice it too late.

Actually on necro or thief I can understand it better since their sigils lack color coding on top of the symbol and they usually slot signets in combat.
But most likely I’m just overly sensitive to the matter because I’ve seen people get kicked for something as trivial as that.

Edit: Now with slightly better English!

Happened to me on my new Ele too…
I get your point though and yes, it’s only trivial.

I’ll admit, I will shake my head myself if someone keeps his movement speed signet slotted for an entire dungeon, that part makes no sense to me.
I’ll still not kick them from my nondescript group for that, but silently wonder how lazy someone can be.

I assume it’s not always the lazyness, sometimes you just forget about it. Maybe just friendly ask him if he doesn’t want to pick something else for this 25%IMS signet.

Ehh you can’t really say NA/EU though…since both sides can be equally kitteny. I have an account on each side and pugs on both sides are about equal.

I know that, but apparently both PuG-communities seem to have some different… habits?
For example I heard that in NA, Kholer gets skipped very often – Never saw him getting skipped in EU.

Sadly, I’ve seen it happen. And not just once.
Group’s full and suddenly you’re one short while people are still zoning in. You just saw the kick vote pop up for a second before someone agreed. You ask “what the hell was that about?” and you get “speed sigil” as an answer.

The only good thing is that this happens at the very start of the dungeon and you can leave that group immediately as well without having lost much time. Because those are people I simply don’t want to play with, no matter what.

I really never had that happen either… Are you on EU or NA? My guess would be EU but you can never know.
