Guild Wars 2

Obviously depends on the rest of the group and what I’m going to do.

Just coming out of SE pt1 “ZERK WARR/ELE/GUARD” party. Decided to pug a dungeon for dem lulz

I hop on the party on my warrior saying I will switch to my ele since there are 2 warriors already. The guardian starts crying to be fast and all that … hmm .. okay.

They were are Nook already, so we just finished him off and proceeded to the golems. As a person who’s been playing his warr mainly in the past few days, I totally forget about fgs. 2 guys get downed but all the golems die anyway.

Guardian: No fgs? Gj ele.
Me: I’m sorry, I’ve been playing my warr lately, totally forgot.
Guardian: fgs is all eles are worth
Me: I beg to differ

We get to the last boss and this is when I notice that WE HAVE A BLOODY “ZERK” GUARDIAN USING A STAFF AS MAIN WEAPON! The same guy who was just complaining about my mistake with the fgs was just staffing the kitten out of the boss and couldn’t even care less about swapping to another weapon.

Faith in pugz: destroyed. Back to guildies.

Wait you had faith in pugs?

Welcome to modern games and their communities.

Clearly we need time machines, and probably nostalgia glasses as thick as bullet proof glass.

You think bullet proof glass can hold them back?

Btw, is it possible that the bug where you can’t see the red skull above your head at Jade Maw is back? Happened three times to me today.

How can the change the gift of fortune to make it more expensive? A stack each of the lodestones? I’ll wait a year an a half then before making any like how I did with these legendaries I’ve made this year.

Maybe not even a gift of fortune at all. Maybe you have to actually earn the items for the legendary this time through finishing challenging content… Nah who am I kidding.

TBH, I don’t have a legendary and never will, due to the existing challenges put in place to make one: The challenge of trying to maintain interest in open world PvE long enough to get map completion is enough to completely dissuade me from even considering it.

Good thing I’d never have that problem in case I wanted another legendary.

+1 for TA, Arah and Fractals. Even though TA is easy, I really like. Aetherpath is sweet too, except for the friggin Ooze Font.

IvanTheGrey.2941:

Are people genuinely complaining that the LS boss is hard? That’s literally the easiest boss I’ve ever faced in a “dungeon” (just so it relates). Even phiw’s can do this! You can’t crit it! COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!

Yep. People also complained at the Tresher boss at the end of the Fort Salma quest who was annoying at best.

What the kitten did I just read…

Some of the best parts have been deleted. Also, there’s a second thread with him.

@Obtena: So you’re basically saying they do it out of spite. I would never kick random people who didn’t do anything wrong, no matter how often I was kicked for whatever reason. If they do, they’re simply kittens.

I’m saying they do it because it’s a learned behaviour that is accepted practice.

“Don’t do unto others what you would not have done to you” seems to be something those people don’t care about then.

If people get kicked because they didn’t read the lfg or tried to do something entirely else than the group/not being cooperative/whatever, kicks are acceptable and the kicked people need to look at themselves.
If people get kicked without reason, the kickers are kittens. If those kicked people now start kicking people without reason too, they’re also kittens. Being kicked without reason does not mean it is accepted behaviour, but rather wrong behaviour of those who kick.

JasmineLong.6514:

Guess you didn’t pay much attention to the rest of the post and went straight for the one that applied to you the most. =D

Most of the people doing the kicking are the PHIW people to the “evil-elitists”. Inb4 you say, “Well the elistists must have been trying to tell them how to play :<.” No most of the time it’s us giving them a suggestion and they in turn automatically go on the offensive and start swearing/cursing and kicking people because their fps was just cut in half.

Your not paying attention to the whole thread … if play how I tell you people weren’t kicking people to start with, the people you label PHIW wouldn’t be kicking anyone NOW.

How do you know that they started it?

Aren’t we the root of all evil?

This.
I’m in a GW2-Group on facebook (which is already a bad idea) and if someone asks for a build and you recommend them meta-builds (and explain what’s so good about them) you have at least a handful of people who will jump up you saying that the berserker-meta is kitten, you’re only kissing dirt when playing berserker, random insults.. The best one I saw was “berserker-kitten”.

//Oh come on filter. Kitten = the bad kind of germans during WWII.

What are you talking about, I love the filter!

Ape kitten!

The filter doesn’t let me write how I want!

Nah I don’t mind it usually either.

It’s because i did step near the entrance

^ This can cause agony. Also, both bosses can cause agony with attacks (which are avoidable of course)

Each time i step near it or does it have a cooldown to not perma-spam you with agony?

iirc it does not, but I’m sure. I know that you can stack Agony in the Mai Trin fractal after you’re done and the holobridge gets back up, so I can just assume it’s the same in Molten Duo.

dlonie.6547:

Every time I tried all three of them just went back to roaming once me & Ran the Man died. Is the trick to die while on the pillar?

This certainly helps for me, but it still isn’t a guaranteed “you gorilla are going to stay between the pillars and the rocks”. The game may “port” you down when dying on the pillar, that doesn’t seem to change anything though.

In the few instances where I soloed/low-manned p4, I did what Purple does. Yes, it doesn’t work all the time but offering yourself as tribute for the gorillas while standing on those rocks there seems to work often enough; sadly not all the time.
I personally don’t really see another way to do this as you can’t even kite the whole time, too much immobilize. If someone finds/knows a way though, I’d like to hear it.

People can magically tell who has done bad things just so they can go and invade their parties and throw abuse?

That’s the problem … if people weren’t kicking and abusing others for how they play, there wouldn’t BE any party invasions and abuse. Intolerance spreads, now your getting a spoonful, not because you deserve it, but because it’s the behjaviours that people have been exposed to .. because of play how I tell you attitudes. Guess root cause analysis isn’t your guys strong point.

I agree.

Just like that one guy on reddit who told me to kitten kitten play kitten dolls kitten and kitten sad kitten high kitten toxic person kitten. I clearly deserved all of that for asking him to show proof for his claim.

In all honesty though, that guy seemed like he has some serious problems, he makes it out like everyone on reddit is a troll and he’s always the victim. I guess we’re just toxic as hell.

Sealgare.9038:

Ok, I can replay Attack Plan and talk to Rox to get the phantasmal residue on my characters that didn’t get it but, the first character that I took through on release day didn’t get the seed. How do I get it?

Replay the episode up to the point where you should get the seed, then you’ll get a letter.

*Gets damaged by kick mid dodge roll 11 times

Alright, Rostelecom, I got it, no Arah today.

Ugh, I hate it when that happens. Especially when you can move around while knocked down and suddenly get ported a bit away a few seconds later.

I want to do CoE p2+p3 before I go offline, but no one wants to join… So, any sleep deprived forum people here who wouldn’t mind wrecking Alpha a bit?

NACotser.4125:

I’m back and alive, missed you babies<3

Who are you?

Done.

Because everyone should play how he wants except zerkers because they’re toxic.

In all honesty though, don’t even bother to find logic in that regard.

Purple Miku.7032:

Casmurro.9046:

I didnt count in hours the amount of time it took me to solo him, but i practiced soloing him for over 2 months until i finally did it. My case was the same as Trice’s, i learned to fight Lupicus and to run arah before trying to run it in a group.

I remember that i had a lot of trouble with phase 1 too, i was dodging at the wrong time the grub atack, another thing that was difficult for me to learn was the warrior’s sword block, i dont know why but i remember pressing the key but the block would still not happen, which was infuriating because if i tried to press “5” twice i would always cancel the block. I think i managed to fix that by pressing and holding 5 until i was sure it worked. Nowadays i dont have that problem anymore.

But i remember how it was exciting when i finally got to phase 3, at that time i didnt know about the wall trick, so i was always anxious when he was close to be killed, i was always wasting endure pain on stupid things instead of saving it for the barrage atack or the bubble. And in the time when i did manage to get him to phase 3 but i ended up getting hit by the life drain and making him come back to phase 2. It was fun ^^

I think everybody tends to have that problem at times, and it’s caused from trying to activate it immediately after a dodge roll I’m pretty sure.

Yes, that’s it. I never learn it and I don’t know how many times I died due to this combined with my stupidity.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

drowze.3709:

The content is by no means only doable by hardcore players. I completed it on my necro (condi specs) and guardian, the two toons I play most, and I for one am not a hardcore player (don’t own a legendary or even any of the t3 cultural armors). If I were to try on my mesmer, who I hardly play, I would have problems, because I don’t know the class’ skills and traits as well.

OP already mentioned he beat it on his ranger, so I don’t see a problem with it. If the content should be designed so I can beat it on all my lvl 80 characters without learning to play them somewhat properly, it wouldn’t feel right either.

The achievements are harder, but it’s good they give you an incentive to group up to do those. Story should be solo-able and it really is in this state.

sry if you call this fight hardcore content probably you have never finished t1 fights on queens gauntlet , and anyway I still preffer this “HARDCORE CONTENT” then stupid standing in one spot and dpsing target without using brain,so much fun in dungs standing in the corner, in ls standing in the middle of room . I really cant believe how noobish community Anet has created . Sometime ago I created thread about visible pvp,www ranks next to pve lvl (pvp ranks will be over 80) and what ?! pvpers liked it wwwer liked it ,pve community was crying that it is such a horrible idea because everyone will see that they are low pvp ranks , hmmm strange they dont pvp and cry about low rank strange . what else ppl crying about removing ap
-so lets remove ap because ppl are kicked from dungs
-then lets hide pve lvl because ascalon is from lvl35 and nobody is gona tell me how to play
-then lets hide class symbol because party is looking for suport guard and iam bearbow ranger who cares I wanna play now
-lets hide my armor look cause somebody rate my char as 3 not 10 !!!!
-lets hide nickname so others cant complain about me
- and anet pls make gw single player !!!!

rly ?! I love in all fpses like cod,bf showing of with max prestige,lvl or whatever , but in gw content which can kill you and which requires few tries to finish is really bad , ohh and lets dont forget its lvl80 content but who cares ?! if you think that this content is hardcore pls dont try under any cunder circumstances demon`s souls or older Final fantasy

Wat. Do you even read? He never said it’s hardcore.

DigitalKirin.9714:

Joined a fotm group. Mai Trin, there’s a bowbear here… o_O; The agony hits and she’s insta downed. And won’t walk back in. And this group seems fine doing a 4man kitten Mai Zombie Rush. foams at mouth

My only consolation is a Sentinel’s weapon box. ; ;

Hope the skin looks cool, at least…

If you like blue, then the skins look quite nice. If not, bad luck.

Minigrump.4961:

why do I always click on links posted in this thread if I know it is going to give me a headache just from reading or viewing it?

Your curiosity (and hope for potential lulz) don’t give a kitten about the headaches you may get.

Erestron.3276:

ButterMeetsToast.8240:

this kitten happens way to often, 3 times this week and you cant just report them because the kittening group chat gets removed. do i really have to screenshopt every goup i do dungeons with ?
do something about it ANet

This person just kicked me out of a dungeon, because I asked him, why he was stacking healing power, camping staff auto-attack and playing mace-shield on his guardian.

I guess he deserved it, being kicked out of groups 3 times a week.

Godravage.4692:

Where is this Belinda ghost? Does she appear at certain times of the day or is she always there?

I assume she’s always there, standing at Fort Salma where you enter during the quest in Ep2

I think I needed 4-6 hours with small breaks in between until I was able to solo him the first time (that doesn’t mean it was smooth.. my solos are still not smooth. lol). However I know of people who spent 4 days (6 or so hours each day, so a total of 24) until they manage to kill him. Really depends on you. I personally find p1 to be the most difficult actually, but maybe that’s just me.

Dalanor.5387:

Is it possible that our beloved new friend is Mike in a different suit?

Oh god.

Roguefire.8174:

Is she suppose to build each trap 50% and automatically move on to the next one and multi spawn ghosts on all 3 locations??? This feels really messed up…

To top it off why was loot removed from the ghosts on this part? Really pointless…

That’s ANet’s way of fixing things. Welcome to GW2!

Wethospu.6437:

I hope those are being worked on, if not I will let you know. :P

Alright. :P

Wethospu.6437:

Ok, it’s in with appropriate tweaks. Also added you to credits, hopefully name is fine.

Yes, that’s just fine.

If no one else does it (as it seems) I may also be able to write a few lines for guardian and mesmer.

Probably. Have to admit that I did have some lulz, but I’m still not sure if I should read everything.

TheDraco.3965:

Lets be honest. Rytlock failed because anet is too lazy to do something as ballsy as to remove most of the Ascalon ghosts.

I think it isn’t just laziness, but also the fact that they’d have to completely redesign a lot of quests, events + skillpoints and fill areas will new enemies. Heck, even two events which you did during this episode wouldn’t be working anymore.

Bhawb.7408:

What obvious reasons? If your build only brings DPS, it better actually bring good DPS; staff ele brings quite a bit more than just DPS, and yet even if you increase necro DPS by 50% it’d still be worse with less support. I’m talking non-FGS DPS, where Necros get beat by ele, thief, engi, guardian, and warrior, and don’t beat any profession (only a few 100% support builds) while bringing no support at all. Support isn’t going to just magically come out of nowhere, we have no mechanics currently in our profession to give support. Would it be a great thing to add? Sure, but I’m not getting my hopes up when we have nothing to build off of yet.

Oh I think there’s a little misunderstanding. Of course, as it stands now, even more DPS wouldn’t help with anything. That is true. I meant that if we actually get a decent amount of good support which makes us desirable (however they manage to fit that in, it really is much easier said than done), we would manage.
Elementalists have conjures (even without FGS extremely strong) next to their normal skillsets and use the lowest health pool + the light armor class which makes them extremely squishy, thus if you go into full offensive you need to be rewarded for doing so, which is very high damage. Letting the necromancer compete in terms of DPS with an ele even though the necromancer shares the highest life pool with warrior und additionally has the death shroud would be quite silly imo.

I’m just saying that the there’s still hope for PvE-Necromancers

Wethospu.6437:

I can pretty easily fix syntax and check link validity so no problems with that. But I need a verification to access your file.

Sorry, should be working now.

Bhawb.7408:

Zerker Necromancer hits around 9k DPS according to DnT’s most recent calcs, compared to around 14k from a staff ele, who also will bring far better support and AoE. For a build that brings nothing but damage that is pretty sad, regardless of whether we had cleave or some mediocre support to go along with it.

That’s why we need to step up in terms of cleave and support.
We can’t compare our DPS to those of Ele’s, we’ll never reach it for obvious reasons. However, with cleave and some good, unique support possibilities, Necromancers would be able to have a better place in PvE.

I probably messed something up anywhere or forgot something, but it’s 3am and I’m losing overview due to all the links I needed to put in there. If one of the links is wrong or I made a spelling mistake, just tell me and I’ll fix it (or fix it on your own, whatever you prefer). Maybe I’ll think of something else I can add tomorrow or I’ll notice that I’ve overlooked something once I can look at it on gw2dungeons where I’m not looking at all the wiki=x|(y)-links.

TKiller.6829:

Why do you do this to yourself.

Because he likes a challenge I guess. (And maybe has a little, very little masochistic streak?)

Congrats though! Last time I watched your stream he speed glitched and you weren’t able to finish him iirc, or am I wrong?

Yes, the dungeon reward is split into a account and character-wide reward. The better part is account-wide.

You sure about that? I thought it was the bonus = account wide for the day, and the other was upon completion but with diminishing returns (if you run the same dungeon over and over you get less and less from the standard reward).

That’s what I meant, sorry if there were any misunderstandings.
