Guild Wars 2

Kichwas.7152:

Do you like melee? Well then your choices are ANYTHING but engineer.

Not true. I run around with the Tool kit stacking confussion on people and laying down bombs with the bomb kit (i see bomb kit as a sort of melee as you at all times have to actually stay in melee range to hit anything)

I can run into enemy zergs in Wvw, stack up all the confussion on 1 enemy that i wanted to, and get out with 15k hp easy.

All i see here is smack talking from GH. Bit disappointing. Ill be sure to pull and whack you with my Pry Bar when i see some. Other than that, going nicely so far, besides some slow decision making for commanders on our side.

Check out my commentary videos for information as a new Engineer wanting to do WvW! You can follow the link in my signature

I use this guys “confussion bomb” build. you kill pretty much anything that underestimates you.

Very effective once you get most of the gear required.

Charr charr binks (i hate him for doing this.)

The closer i draw to level 80, the more i worry that im going to get the completely wrong build and gear and end up rather weak. Im not sure a condition build would absolutely destroy a single enemy when im caught on my own, or it would just be my downfall.

Any of you have any tips on how to get gear and maybe even a build for a hard hitting engi?

Is there actually a reason that this is not on the TP?
It has been bothering me for quite a long while that i don’t get this option and i have to sift through tons of heavy and light gear until i finally find the right medium gear piece. Its not the worst thing ever, but still, its rather annoying sometimes.

If you are dying to a level 9 mob as a level 20 character even if downgraded. You are doing something wrong.

Only recently rolled a Engie, but i cannot for the life use the grenadier kit without standing still of making awkward slow backward walking circles while using it. Do you just put on Fast Casting Ground Targeting?

I usually play Mesmer and i look around with right mouse button.

I have not been able to finish a single group event in the past 2 weeks because every time im even near the event, the game crashes. When i finally get back the whole even is done, or nearly done, but even if i do some damage or join the last few seconds, i get nothing. This is extremely frustrating. I dont even just get them at events, it happens randomly when im exploring too. Sound goes off, start making a weird alarm type noise in my left ear of my headset and then a few seconds later crashes, and i experience that atleast 15 times a day.

Yes i repaired the game several times and my fps is capped and always at 60 fps.

We had somebody who recorded it yes. Already told him to post it on youtube, But im not entirely sure who it was, Quite a lot of people i dont really know in the teamspeak server and the other guilds we made this zerg with.

Those are the main 2 really showing it properly.

Unless it was bugged somehow for that fight, Gorefiend is probably right. To contest a location, the structure itself must be under attack, meaning walls/gates taking damage. It is entirely possible (and I’ve seen it happen before) that no one in your zerg actually knows this or was paying attention.

Next time you notice the enemy streaming out of their waypoint, instead of suiciding on the spawn, try hitting a door and see if they stop. You can also tell by looking at the map, if the icon for the location itself (not the WP icon) has white swords, it’s contested and WP should not work except for a few seconds between defend event cycles.

We have had this issue twice now. We have only attempted to do this twice. We came in through watergate and took the back door. Once into the lord room several people ran up to the front door and attacked it fearing the same issue as the first time would occur (even though we hit the doors last time too and it still kept coming). Eventhough it was 100% contested and we were attacking every game possible and they just kept on coming in.

Every time we have had this we did a large highly communicated attack with a zerg of atleast 60 people and over 50 of them on a teamspeak server and vent.
Surely i cannot be the first person to complain about this. I can find several videos about it on youtube.

Again, we were fighting them for 5 minutes. in those 5 minutes they were constantly waypointing in.

Not it was not a mesmer portal. We were wiping the same 50 people over and over for 5 minutes long. And eventually we lost too many people to fight back. They deffinetely came out of the waypoint. I even ran up to the waypoint, and got myself killed there just to confirm it.

Why is this possible. Taking garrison with 8 gollems and taking over garrison, everything contested, and suddently a entire zerg kept streaming into garrison for more then 5 minutes long, and they just kept waypointing into garrison while it is clearly contested. Even when dead they just kept streaming in through the waypoint.

EDIT: We were constantly contesting it by hitting the gates. We clearly saw they came from the waypoint. The fight took longer then 5 minutes so it was not just that few seconds of window for them to spawn in.

Why is this possible. Its stupid.

Zerg of nearly 25 got killed completely in 2 seconds. everybody wondering what it was. 5 seconds later. Massive Miller zerg appears. Oh…..culling….lovely…atleast we had a good laugh out of it.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

What is your current story step objective? There’s a group of NPCs with you (based on who you helped in Chapter 5) so rushing ahead can be overwhelming.

My current step is
Confront the Eye of Zhaitan.
And i let the NPC’s rush in before me and i let them do that. But they die extremely fast and then it all starts focusing on me before i even start to move in to attack anything.

Tried it again with full gear on level 80 with 4 other people, and we wiped once and then actually again, but the whole process of continuing and being sucked into the mirror, even though we were all dead and could all click restart at checkpoint.

Im pretty sure this isn’t the idea of whats supposed to happen, or we are just being stupid, but i doubt it.

Deniara Devious.3948:

SPOILER ALERT

That sounds like an Orrian deadeye or Risen eye pads or how you call them. They look like a tentacle like pod with a large eye on its top. They do crazy ranged damage. Their machine gun fire can take down most level 80 characters in a second.

The final mission, Victory or Death, has been nerfed to the ground in the last patch, except it also has such eyes. Anet developers love one-shotting their players. Well technically it is a not a one shot, but a dozen plus fast attacks in a row, but the effect is the same.

Your best choice is to kill them using ranged attacks (preferably 1200 range) and dodge.

Can I ask what is the profession of your character?

Using a mesmer :\ im staying at long range at all times. i managed to somehow get past the eye. But then i have to one by 1 find my allies back (which have all died in 1 hit when i arrive near one) once i get near the first ally, the risen re-direct to me immediately and i just die by aoe again.

Every time i start this storyline, and i have to “attack before there is a whole army here” i just walk 2 steps, and i see 1150 hits on my screen atleast 20 times and im just dead straight away. I dont have time to heal, i dont have time to dodge, it just dead, and restart at checkpoint. restarted the storyline several times and even tried it when i was far above the required level and level 80 i tried it, but i just die instantly every time.

Is this bugged or something?

edit: managed to survive longer then 5 seconds by dodging 2 of what ever is hitting me but then it keeps on going and the NPC is literally dying in 1 single hit from anything. I thought this was supposed to be fun and a little bit challanging. Not god awfull frustrating.

Are you American on a European server or something, or do the American server share the exact same reset time.

If you are America and on a Euro server, i dont see why you are complaining about it, you choose which to join.

So if your a mesmer, and your in a keep thats being taken over. You can no longer portal them inside to re-take without taking down the gates? or am i kitten

Ive only just gotten to level 9. Takes quite a long while to get there.

I’ve not been playing this game for very long and to be honest, i understand almost nothing about this game.

Im not sure which weapons, which traits, which skills or what ever are the best to use at all. None of it means anything to me at all at this point.

So would anybody be so kind as to help me out a little bit?

I’ve watched several videos about this game and everything, but its all those dumb “So these are the races….uhm…..i like this class because it has like…..uhm….lightning…..uhm…..i like this hair because……uhm……..” That kind of stuff.
