Guild Wars 2

EcoRI.9273:

I finally got my first berserker armor this weekend!

I’m jealous, congrats.

Can confirm, I have 138% MF from luck, 7% from achievements for a total of 145%, yet it shows only 138% in the hero tab.

You don’t get it because it’s in the “meta-achievement” you get for completing the episode and you obviously only get that bag once.

You get all the OTHER components on each character… so you may be right, but it’s still a bug. Either you ought to get the phantasmal residue along with the rest, or you should get all the components only once.

Also, considering I have 5 80s I’m running this on… it would be so much better if those components stacked…

No, it’s working as intended. It’s simply a weird design choice to hand everything out during the quests and the last item over the episode-achievement.

I have enough alts too, good to know they don’t stack so I can just throw them away – Probably won’t need more than one backpack anyway.

Additional for p2: The first wave of mobs that spawns when fighting Operative Brie falls through the floor. I’m not sure if this happens when fighting her before the terminal gets destroyed for the first time, however it was like this every time after me being too slow on the first time.

Also, there is apparently a bug/exploit which allows you to skip everything up to the corrosive lights in p4 which then are done to trigger the waypoint and allow the group to proceed to Lupicus. I can’t give more info on that as I saw it when joining a pug (and it probably wouldn’t be allowed to post here anyway)

Lodius.5392:

I disagree with OP.

I know there are the few people that like to “switch toons at the end” but saving the XP reward to open on another toon would technically allow me to completely level up a toon without leaving my starting location.

It’s a bad idea to have a level 80 that you have never played with…

He doesn’t want a daily-chest with the EXP inside. He wants a chest that spawns after you killed the final boss and yields you the EXP. So you have to go to the final boss, punch him in the face, loot him and get the EXP while looting him.

Purple Miku.7032:

Mine was probably 1 of the 2 times I solod him naked, but maybe also when I got angry at him for double kicking me and decided to kick him back with the util “Kick.”

I lol’d. Can just imagine that he kicked you straight after again.

Lethe.1640:

On the plus side, it seems random creatures throughout Tyria have banded together and formed guilds. It’s about time they protested being randomly slaughtered by errant Mesmer phantasms and misguided Necromancer minions.

Good for them, I say!

That’s already fixed.

Lodius.5392:

We had a group run CoF p1 last night… when we went to do CoF p2 someone left. So I tried to add our party to the LFG menu, but it was grayed out.

Someone else in the party, luckily, was able to. However, it wouldn’t let me.

That’s been happening for ages though, sadly…

J Eberle.9312:

But.. It will evolve over the next couple living stories or something and become MORE pretty O_O

Until it evolves so much that it takes control over your character.

The only reason you don’t hear about it as much is they rarely launch patches. I think they are going on a year now without one and their bug forums are still full of bugs from the last one!

Hey guess what, the same applies for gw2.

No, GW2 launches patches every 2 weeks.

Yet, we still have bugs which exist for over an year or things which took them over a year to fix.

You might be new to MMOs. They all have persistent or recurring bugs, things that are difficult to reproduce since they are such large complicated games.

If you really want to play a bug free game I suggest looking to console or board games because every MMO I’ve ever played, without fail, from the biggest to the smallest, no matter how much or how little PTS they had always had bugs.

I never said that I expect the game to be free of bugs. I just wanted to point out what you just said, no MMORPG is ever free of bugs, neither gw2 or WoW.

deSade.9437:

I think the guy meant sadist? Hm?

I think he meant “You’re gonna do it with those pugs? You really have to be a masochist to do it with them.”

Eir: “I knew you can do this alone”
Yeah… right. There weren’t 100 or so other players zerging that event.

lordkrall.7241:

TYHE.6435:

Oh, and it was just impossible to predict that many people may press TALK to key NPC. right?

Not really.

Are you kidding?

AysonCurrax.3254:

plus, if you move your cursor over the Regions category it clearly states “Achievements related to new regions.” so thats why they are where they are.

Fair enough, never noticed that.

The main thing I dislike about the events is a scaling Elite which is only really vulnerable to conditions with a time limit on top of that. Come on ANet, are you serious?
Also, events/open world quests are annoying for people with a slow PC, but I guess that’s more their (and my) problem.

Why are they listed under “General > Explorer”? Seems out of place imo and people may not notice it until they randomly get an achievement.

That moment when you go afk for a sec in Arah, come back and see your team killing the lv84 Illusionist. Such a shame I wasn’t able to get a closer look at this majestic creature.

Why

You still need necromancer then?

etb.2703:

Bump. I never want to see this thread die until fractals are actually addressed and the bunk rewards are changed for the better.

Then this thread may live on forever.

Misaka Mikoto.4513:

Oh, one more thing I like about NA PuGs is that I can finish the daily paths of AC P1-3, CM 1&3, TA Up&Fwd, SE 1&3, CoF P1&P2, HoTW P1 in 4-5hr after server reset.

On the other hand, if you look at EU LFG right after reset… its impossible

When does NA has its reset? EU has at 02:00.

You can seperate the two by luring one of them into the corridor with the pressure plate doors (the one that connects Kasha with Ralena and Vassar) and then close the doors. That may help you.

Already posted in the other thread, but who cares. Also, my other armor.

LordByron.8369:

Want……won t start without a guardian.

Simply because they want the QoL a guardian brings. They don’t need him, they want him though because chances are things will go smoother.

LordByron.8369:

1. Guardian
2. Elementalist
3. Warrior
4. Mesmer
5. Necromancer
6. Ranger
7. Thief
8. Engineer

Necro… placed fifth? I mean I too think the necro shines a bit more in fractals than he does in dungeons since different kinds of utilities can be quite helpful (especially if other classes are missing), but what makes you place him fifth?

Mr Seven.1083:

Is it just me or does barely anyone do Honor of the Waves anymore? Some people may do path 1 but I have yet to find a party that wants to do paths 2 or 3. It is very sad, it used to be a popular dungeon but now it’s deserted. They need to do what they did to Twilight Arbor here as well. Unfortunately the living story is not going into the Shiverpeaks which means nothing will happen to the dungeon for a long time… Maybe they can make the pay out for doing the paths more than just 1 gold.

No one runs them because the paths are friggin annoying, with the endbosses of p2 and especially p3 being the epitome.

You know what’s worse than EU pugs? EU pugs at night.
Sadly I’m pretty much forced to pug all the time… I’ve seen horrible things.

Korossive.7085:

There is no excuse to being an Engineer.

Don’t see what’s wrong with a good engineer.

Jerus.4350:

Ehh I like I Jerem, mainly because I’m jealous of the Heritage Armor, I almost want to stop playing GW2 for a bit just so I can play GW1 and get all that stuff. Between that and the Wheelock Rifle, it’s just about worth it.

You get half the heritage armor just for linking your gw2 with your gw1-account and if you have someone who helps you out, it shouldn’t take too long. :P

Purple Miku.7032:

I didn’t forget deep freezes

But thanks for adding to the list. I just remembered how awesome it is to have imbued shaman chilled for when he gets his shield up.

Immobilized is even better. :P

maha.7902:

nice paddle on your back

I prefer it over certain shiny paddles.

Next up: Human Female Meta Warrior. She’s also an apprentice mountain goat.

//just saw your edit Lilith. Thanks!

Rag.3258:

might be common knowledge but i actually stumbled on skale venom applying weakness and vuln on self just now. im pretty sure this happens on any projectile that bounces back to yourself, ive been able to reproduce this on mes staff 1 and guard focus 4. ive seen it happen on ele during mightstacking as well, probably from phoenix.
has this always been this way?

Would make sense if the skale venom is applied on the projectile. If you get hit by that you’re going to get weakness and vuln ofc. If it wasn’t always this way I’d even go as far and say that it’s intended.

Purple Miku.7032:

In my opinion what they should have done was fastforward the airship with cutscenes + a loading screen and have Zhaitan crash the airship with the party members + a few others evacuating the ship in time and fighting Zhaitan in the lair.

Actually, I think this is what they planned all along but due to having not enough time, they had to make it like… this instead, seeing there is a POI in his Lair you can’t get to and it looks like a huge arena.

Is that a challenge?

-cracks knuckles-

Mountain Goat time.

In all seriousness though, I think I remember being told that if you intentionally disconnect your internet before you crash to the bottom after jumping off the airship, you’ll log in at the bottom of the lair. Haven’t confirmed but I’ll try it next time I do story mode.

*You can’t get to normally. :P

I heard that too. Never tried it though… “Best” screens I got were when I fell through the killlayer without getting ported and landed dead inside the water. Friggin dead dragons taking up space.

6/10
Sorry dude, im definatly no fan of the Mask. Just my opinion, u shouldnt care about it.

My Male Norn Necro with Axe (Mistforged) and Focus (good old Adam)

Pfft, I was skipped

8/10, not much of a fan of the hairstyle and the face in general, although it does fit.

Minigrump.4961:

Or did I find a bunch of lucky groups in a row when doing arah today? They actually read the description of the LFG, they were wearing full berserker gear and weapons, actually knew how to melee properly and didn’t complain if one little thing went wrong.

It’s pretty much LFG Roulette. I had great pugs and I had extremely horrible pugs, sometimes even coupled with that “I’m kittenty as kitten but I don’t know I am so I try to take over the lead and flame everyone who isn’t okay with that”-attitude.

cheshirefox.7026:

just saw this in lfg, i’m prolly the only person who thinks it’s ridiculous..
pretty sure it is though

8/10, looks sweet except for the gloves and the headpiece which makes your Asura look a bit weird imo.

My Necro is not your everyday Necro I guess.

frifox.5283:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

There’s nothing to explore in the dungeons just so you know.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoqMcAQdETw

There is much MUCH more out there to be explored than you think.

I’m so going to ask. How. the. hell?

Ropechef.6192:

LFG After Dark

I think I will see about making this episode happen.

0.0

Except that “after dark” my time is not always after dark for everyone else…. hmmmm

LFG After Dark – Ropechef Edition

Problem solved.

Dalanor.5387:

Bon apetite boys and girls.

…why

maha.7902:

You’ve said we shouldn’t be able to sell but haven’t offered a reason why.

From what I understand he isn’t against selling; he’s just against EXP being included in that package, what I can’t really understand tbh as people would simply do crafting, eotm or whatever.

J Eberle.9312:

Do you feel that feely feel? I feel that feely feel.

Pandaman.4758:

Ettanin.8271:

A Zerker on:
Claw of Jormag
Tequatl The Sunless
The Shatterer
Fire Elemental
Jungle Wurm
Triple Trouble
Shadow Behemoth
Golem Mark II

is a weakened character. You cannot critically hit those bosses. Two stats wasted.

EDIT: Can’t say the abbreviation of GNU Image Manipulation Program here.

So? It’s generally accepted knowledge you don’t bring Zerk gear to anything that can’t be crit, just like it’s accepted that you don’t bring condi to any group event because the cap makes anything more than two condition builds completely redundant.

Also have a shameless self-plug of a half-baked idea on how condition can be fixed for PvE.

You need berserker here for the last phase.

You guys don’t know anything. Eles in this game are healers, that’s why they are supposed to wear cleric’s. Warriors are DDs, thus berserker gear, but they have high hp and therefore can also be played as tanks/offtanks. Guardians tank and hold aggro, they use either PVT or Nomad’s gear. You’re welcome.

Wait…..
Wat?

He speak trooth.

Can we expect an Asura below every post of yours now?

I meen. I yoosed 2. All da time.

Then start doing it again!

O.k.

Wonderful.
