7×80 and i still have no map completion on any. You may wonder why? I don’t like to rush stuff. There’s cool area’s these days I explore for first time and they still surprise me, still make me want to stay there for a while enjoying it. I on purpose did not join the release ‘hype’ to get map completion asap. Gw2 has incredible much content, hidden in various maps. I like to see them as ‘expansion packs’. While they essentially aren’t, they keep me busy, surprised and keep the fun in the game. I know rushing all the best content quickly, will get me bored fast.

My focus is on living story since it’s one time only etc. Wvw because every matchup is unique. Dailies also. If i have time, I explore bit by bits, but there’s no rush involved. Currently having 57% necro, 54% warrior, 42% ele, 47% guardian/mesmer, 31% thief. Good enough for me

Copper-Fed Salvage o-Matic - Basic

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

Today i often ran out of bag space and had to focus on TP selling stuff instead of farming/looting. I probably lost 20 silver of blue/greens in the process. Having had this salvage kit instead of 5 basic salvage kits, could have solved the problem. Secondly, by having unlimited uses, you don’t have to worry about using it, so you might even spare space by quickly using it on salvage items, and depositing the materials then.

Basically i see this kit purely as convenience (extra bag space). Technically i think you will earn it will back, by the extra bag space created with it, and the situations where that would slow your farming down/less loot in the end. That’s why i’m gonna buy one.

Scarlet events ppl failing it to farm champs

in Clockwork Chaos

Phoebe Ascension.8437

Call whining what you want man. It’s just frustrating that me having the intention of playing the event as it’s meant to be, is countered by farmers like you Groonz. I can live with the fact their are farmers. But it’s anoying when they block the way for people who want the game to be played as it’s meant to be.

I just found out that even failing counts (somehow?) as a succes so it isn’t that bad. It’s still an issue though.

Scarlet events ppl failing it to farm champs

in Clockwork Chaos

Phoebe Ascension.8437

This is another Ember Champion (Anchorage) situation. This has to stop. I had to litteraly run like hell/waypoint like hell to get all events done in time. I even skipped a lot of loot. Meanwhile some hardcore farmers stayed on the same events and semi-afk (they even bragged about it), farmed the champs.

In my opinion, those people do not deserve the succes chest. If it wasn’t for me, kinda sacraficing a lot of loot in the process, (and a few other commanders, but most other commanders were troll farmers, like 6 of them), we would not have made it in time.

Again, the wrong people (the lazy, fail happy, greedy, unfriendly, the list goes on…), get the most rewards. Wrong Anet. You are rewarding the wrong people in my opinion. Provoking a fail to an event, should have consequenses, and now it doesn’t. Can you please do a similar fix, like you did on the Ember champ farming. Thanks.

Karma hoarding - wanted warning about change

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

Complaining is easy, but admitting a fault as a mmo company is a hard thing. Thanks you Colin Johanson for admitting it, and giving us (maybe) a chance to recover a bit. To be honest i only used the drips (weakest) karma vials, i was gonna use all the rest but just see this now xD

I’m all in for this udpate of karma. It makes it a whole lot easier. It’s just kinda unfair for those who planned all this, even bought karma boosting stuff in advance, to now get screwed over. I thin everyone (even the hardcore karma farmers) can live with the update of karma vials giving a static amount. But we should have the chance to at least use all of what we had, with the old method before starting the new process.

Wtf, i lost tons of karma because of this. Well done anet. And what’s the point of karma booster now heh? And those kite buffs, i specificly kept them for this. I also bought +5% karma food and i even hope my achievement chest, karma passive, would work. I waited it all out. And now i’m screwed. My guild wasn’t ready yet for +15% karma so i waited. Man was I stupid. You stole 1m karma from me anet, i want it back.

Event/Champ tagging: How does it work?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

I keep hearing ppl with 100% confidance telling me ’it’s not dps, Guardians tag so much better’. And other weird assumptions. When I ask for details, they all are very silent, (to me admitting they don’t know anything about it.

My own testing seems to confirm dps has no influence, but that there is a certain tresshold (minimum damage), before you get a tag. It also seems past a certain numbe of farmers (60+?), that the software (gw2 server), will not hand out a champ loot bag to everyone anymore, no matter how well they tag. It seems partially random then who gets punished to get no loot.

So what are your thoughts? I just did 250k damage on a group event champ, in a party and didn’t get loot, but tagged the event. I call that weird, how do you guys think it works?

Phoebe Ascension.8437

You’ve made a classic mistake in not rolling an Ele. So, my advice is delete your other, clearly worthless characters and roll up a real winning class, elementalist. Then we’ll see you on the battlefield. :P

See obviously Devon doesn’t know about the “Ultimate” Class aka Warriors. We all know Warriors are the obvious choice when you want to Main a specific class. Great in PvE content, amazing armor choices, and well I main one so that should sway your choice.

Pick Warrior!

Sure, if you want to look like a Hug(h)e sucker you could pick Warrior. I’m sticking with my Ele.

Lies, you are a necromancer. When you posted about ‘arrow carts, more arrow carts’ article, the screenshot had you in it WITH a NECROMANCER. If ele was that good, necro would never have tempted you

5 Gambit Achievement w new patch?

Please tell the kittening hell to me HOW TO prevent subject 7 from healing. I know there is something that triggers his healing (his healing is random, one time he heals like madness and other times is crappy heal). Tell me how to control it. There’s nowhere on the internet details about his heal behavior. If i could just have more info, so i could bring up a counter strategy. Now he just outheals me. Doesn’t matter if i do something amazing to survive/Damage at the same time, he eventually outheals/outdamages me.

All the achievement whores abused the glitch, and now the casual who take it a bit more slowly are left in the dark, well done anet. And then these ppl claim ‘i did the 5 gambit achieve, so i’m better then you’. Yeah right.

The most casual/relaxed/chilled mmo, ever is turning into an elitary achievement battle/greedyness contest. Great job Anet. And go ahead and ackknowledge this post as trash, but you will see the results in a year if you don’t stop. All your casuals will leave one by one.

So Being 1-Shot is meant to be a Challenge?

Phoebe Ascension.8437

I tried to do most of the achievement today and let me tell, my feeling towards arenanet, went INCREDIBLE DARK. So much frustration do they cause. Take a deep breath anet dev. My mind is smart enough to not hate you, but feelings, well you can’t control them. And lemme tell you they aren’t positive towards you. Are you satisfied Anet dev?

A game, wich stands for ‘electronic entertainment’, is meant to have fun. This is not it. And not doing it, is not an option in my opinion. The achievements are so crazy in numbers, that the permanent (potential) loss of them, is a to big sacrafice on the permanent passives (exp, gold, karma etc), and chests.

The worst trolling ever is that the early adaptor, (achievement hardcores), have a freeby. 5 gambits, was a piece of joke (super easy) on deadeye. All of them have the achievement already. now i’m struggling like madness to get it myself. Comparing video footage, pre-nerf, to current deadeye, my damage is 80% nerfed. Good job anet…. very well thought off. 5k 100b, compared to 25k 100b, rightttttttttttttt.

Norn are the coolest imo. The armor’s look big (hey an warrior has big armor, why not pronounce it), and they are still humanoid, unlike charr). They also look more adult then humans, wich is necessary for a warrior imo.

I don't like this update

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

We do our best to deliver appealing content with enough variety to keep as many people as satisfied as possible. And If there’s one thing we can do consistently, it’s improving the experience of said content each time. I think we made some great strides with the Jubilee.

made achievement, such a big part of the game (rewards, passive bonusses, chests, bragging rights (so to speak), legacy, etc), that people will want them. Creating almost impossible achievement that the hardcore will get, but the casuals will fail, will create a void between the two. My friend belongs in the hardcore cathegory (10500 achievements in 4 months), i belongs in casual (9k since headstart). Last week we continuously had fights over why him or me deserve more achievements. We laughed it away later, but this is a very big problem. That sooner or later will explode. And when it does it might make players leave, instead of ‘keeping them interested’.

I still don’t get why this content cannot be permanent. Gw1 is a storyline. Technically you could say ‘once you finish this mission, same char is NEVER allowed to repeat it, cause well the story moved on. But the game allowed you nonetheless to repeat AMAZING story settings. amazing experiences. Amazing storylines, recaptured. And most of all (incredible important imo, Anet), NO PRESSURE. I waited for gwamm years. I never pressured myself cause i still had fun chilling, farming, doing my favorite mission over, etc. I kept telling myself i’ll do only dungeons, when i feel for it, cause this hardcore stress does not belong in a game, that it’s first priority should be to entertain people. That’s your fail anet. That’s why people get mad. That’s where the frustration comes from. That’s why you will loose players, indefinitely, if you can’t find a fix for the current problem you created. You overstepped the bound of the achievement system. And now either you will have to go back, (probably kitten ing some people off), or not go back also kitten ing of people.

Solution is simple. All content is ETERNAL. Only events like dragon bash return each year. If content is eternal there’s no pressure to do ANY achievement, right now, when you feel you want to do other stuff. This week, i didn’t have time to chill yet, because, i had to (see i know it’s wrong, but we human do it) achievements. Stop this ‘you will oblige to this 90% impossible content that you will have to farm over and over to succeed, or you will loose heavy amount of achievements’.

And lastly, stop the pvp/minigames/grind X of this crap. That is not living story. Flame and frost,and the part with ‘marjory’ (the hot girl with black hair, think in dragon bash), those two were amazing. Those two had me hooked. Those two deserve ‘to exist’. The others are meh. The celebrating part and the legendary bosses, in queen jennah’s pavilion are fun cause it brings people together and gives nice loot. The gaunlet however, the stupid pvp games (southsun survival, the crystal run, dragon bash pvp, and all the other trash games), SAB (that incredible weird, epic fail graphic (i don’t like indie games)-jumping puzzle, do not have a place in the living story. If you wanna introduce them make them permanent (and thus optional) content. Instead of forcing us to do this kitten, to keep our legacy (aka achievements) up to par. Technically we don’t have to. But that’s the mistakes you devs make. The people feel like they have to, and it’s just part of human nature (that you probably abuse no purpose to addict people, no flame intended, all mmo’s do this to certain degree, it’s just how the business works), and that should be looked at imo.

Just another video of that teleporting thief. Reported countless times yet administrative action seems to be non-existent.

I recognize that thief! He had exactly the same signets on, and he teleported all over the map like he was lagging. But he wasn’t. He was skipping stuff, by teleport spamming via a hack. If you see asura vizunah square with exactly those two signets (the second one is rarely used, so easy to recognize him), RUN, fast before he sees you cause 1 vs 1 you can’t win/run away from him. I really hope anet bans him cause that’s really over the top.

Phoebe Ascension.8437

I’m kinda glad evon lost. Theoratically this frac would be the best we ever wanted. But in the reality, arenanet, gw2 lorewise, can never EVER compete with gw1. And wathever they do, do personalize the Gods/story, they will not be up to the level people expect. It would have been a disapointment, with lot of QQ like ‘is this the hyped abbadon frac, omg so weak’. now this doesn’t have to pass. I have faith in Arenanet, but after the Zhaitan fail (it just doesn’t compared to any gw1 story, although i must admit it ain’t bad), i don’t believe, they can create the most important fracs ever to the highest quality standards ever. They would have disappointed us. Perhaps that’s why they put Kielen as the good one, cause they knew it would be a hard job.

Gw2 lore was is weak compared to gw1. Now to bring the most important gw1 moment EVER into a frac, i have my doubts. They cannot make this fractal, and the personalization of the Gods, so correct/perfect, that players will be satisfied lore wise. So trust me, it’s rather a good thing this isnt happening. I rather have my own interpretation of what happened, then a fail-fractals.

I love them both. It gives more flexibility if you need it. If you want stability on short as possible cooldown, balanced stance. If you can live with longer cd, then dolyak signet for the bonus passive. Berserker stance/signet of stamina are two completely different skills. One gives immunity, the other has to be incredible well timed, to have a big impact, when used against professions like engineer and necromancer. They all have up and downside. Wich increases build/skill variation a lot. Keep it this way Arenanet.

Feedback on the recent Necromancer changes

in PvP

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

@ Allie, the thing that ‘angries’ (filter fix) me most off, is that EVEN NECRO /WVW/PVE (mainly) people AGREE that dhuumfire should not be there. BOTH THE ENEMY (nerf crybabies, so to speak) AND the profession owners themself AGREE. Have you ever seen that before? If both sides of the coin agree, the chance that they are wrong is really small in my opinion. Yet you ignored them straight. And nerfed other things.

Secondly Allie, lot of respect for your work, I know it’s the cliché of the policeman saying ’i’m just doing my job’. And you are doing that. However, one thing you fail to grasp, mentioned by many people in here. You think only in pvp terms, and seem to ignore the rest of the game, because your job, presses you so kitten this one aspect of the game. You feel it’s no mistake because that’s your job, and you feel like you are doing your job very well this way. Well, 95% of PVP balance tweaks (mostly nerfs), are also copied to PVE/WVW. It may not matter to you, you may not care, but that’s why PVE/WVW people are panicking and voicing their opinions in the PVP section, even though that is not why the forum section exist. It is also the reason you gonna be hated by a lot of people in the future, unless you stop giving them the idea you ignore them.

Constructive necromancer thoughts.

in PvP

Posted by: Phoebe Ascension.8437

Phoebe Ascension.8437

Now that I think of it: the real weakness of necromancer is IMMOBALIZE. Shouts are instant cleanse, thus the best skills in the game to remove immobalize. However necromancer condition removal is slow and unreliable. Like dagger 4 can mis, or tranfer wrong conditions. Staff 4 doesn’t work on downed and is nerfed recently (no longer transfers ALL conditions in all scenario’s.). Consume conditions has a very long cast time for a healing skill. And is very predictable.

You want a way to kill necro? Immobalize him, wait exactly 1 sec (not any longer), then STUN him. This will lock him into place almost certainly, just spam your aoe’s (grenades, barrage, traps, berserker phantasm wathever). Try it. Necro is one of the worst professions to counter this combo.

Now THAT is why necro 500 hour + mains perveive necro survival as bad. Almost any profession can get easely out of this combo without much utility slow waste. There’s more situations like this, but this one is the most obvious to show the weakness of necromancer. Why people love to focus a necro first.

Same thing as op here. Having a bit trouble to level up engi though. (pistol/pistol even when same lvl as your lvl), seems to take ages to kill stuff. Only when you hit burning and the confusion is doubled via chain, it does decent damage.

Grenades seem nice, but hurts your fingers after a while XD

I’m curious though, fellow engineers, wich is your favorite, auto attack? Pistol one seems a bit underpowered, rifle one feels also low damage (at lvl 22), grenade is ok, but not really an ‘auto-attack in the true sence’, you must spam it, EB gun auto seems good, but still not on par with necro scepter (hardly needed though with it’s support role). For instance happens often we are out of supply in wvw and get the command ‘facerub!’. And i’m wondering, what does an engi do then?

I have one thing to say:

30/20/0/0/20

Stop whining, you’re still OP.

WE DONT WANT BURNING. Most of use DONT EQUIP it but in spvp cause spvp is all about ‘speedkills’ (not fast enough? you die!).

Isn’t it ironic? Most of the people i think agree dhuumfire must go. Both necro’s, and others (who want nerfs, so removing burn = nerf). Why can’t anet see this? I never has been more simple: REMOVE dhuumfire.

Agree @ OP. I was 56g towards FINALLY a long awaited commander tag. And then they do this… I ragequitted, not knowing what other profession to play. All the gold is spend on exotic warrior gear. And i can’t believe i’m even having with with warrior! (normally i hate close combat).

It’s very sad that Paradigm (or whoever the podcasters/Anet inviters are) and other top tier necro’s, decide for the whole community.

I want to put heavy emphasize on why the old terror was so nice. Why it should not be nerfed (17%) nor made grandmaster trait. Necromancer have the least INCOMBAT survival tools of all professions. It’s cursing them, pressuring them and hoping we survive. The big hp pool + death shroud, gives us a nice ‘attrition headstart’, but can hardly be sustained. Ele has invulnerability, burning speed, rtl, thief has cloacking, all profession have sort of combat defence mechanics. When they use those, we necromancers are locked down with but only ONE choice. Fear them to prevent it. And before they can heal up again etc, making it also give some spike damage, to make this control ability more threatening. In pvp (before the last update) I felt quite balanced (yes we are easy to focus down), but in an even 3 vs 3 etc, if i timed my doom properly (NOT EARLY in the fight!, unless really necessary, say to escape a stunlocked 100blades), they would either win with 1k hp left, or die by just a fraction. It was always a close call. The moment necro is in downed state, in pvp he is in disadvantage. Other profession have heals, better damage on auto attack, mobility while downed etc. And the fear doesnt work versus downed, so we loose our 2nd ability usefullness also. It’s VITAL for a necro to win the battle before you will go downed. And IF you go downed the other guy must have low hp or you will be dead. That’s why (the old) Terror is such a exciting (and well balanced, old one I REPEAT), tool. It’s short, it’s easy to remove, or evade if you know it’s coming BUT when timed properly it can either win the fight, or loose it because you were focused to hard. LEAVE BURNING out of the equation. I don’t use it, because you are to ‘berserkery’ in that mode (easy to lock down, if you use it against a guardian he just removed all of the condition in a whimp, and you are garanteed dead). It’s a nice tool, say versus warrior, thief, rangers (last cause bad condi removal). Otherwise, it’s really not that impressive. But I agree it’s to bursty. And i really wouldn’t care if they removed it. If that means they reinstate old terror, (wich nefs overall condition pressure capability), i wouldnt mind at all. It would bring back the old and fun Necro.

The solution is superior easy. Remove dhuumfire again. Necromancer is about cursing, bleeds/poison/terror fit in that respect. Torment also and with those 4 necromancer has enough pressure. A few extra bleeds here and there wouldnt hurt to much, but apart from that they are ok. Dhuumfire was totally unnecessary, forces you to use 30 points in a bad traitline (10-20 traits suck for condimancer), and called for unnecessary nerfs. The nerfs only did good for the full ‘burst conditionmancers’. But not everyone uses that build. And so you nerfed everyone with it.

I know you only care about pvp, but the survivability of necro in wvw has dropped to deep dephts (compared to other professions). To low for me to be fun enough to play. It’s sad but I had to abandon my 900 hours main, cause well ‘high risk, high reward’ isn’t my playstyle. That’s for thiefs. (and those can disengage, necro can’t).

Remove dhuumfire, return old terror rate (yes you heard me right! often i chained it, and they still got away with 1k hp. The 17% nerf is gonna make a hell of a lot duels even harder to win.) = win.

Spectral armor should be balanced, so that it is stronger against more enemies, and weaker in a duel. Atm it’s slightly (omg i said it), overpowered in a duel, but massively underpowered in a zerg fights. To be honest, You guys are to focussed on ‘we must give every profession similar skills mechanics’. Wrong. Sometimes it underpowers/overpoweres because of that. Ele has Chill/stun ‘on being hit’ effects. Those are STRONG enough to warrant internal cooldown. The mesmer chaos armor i dunno, i think it’s to weak now. But having no internal cd might be to powerfull in certain cases. And then necromancer. The only thing you get: life force. It used to be ‘ok’ in zergs, en mediocre in duels. I don’t why it has to be changed. You want to make necro unique? Well spectral armor WAS a unique ‘shielding’ skill for necromancer. More hits, more life force (not essentially invulnerability, a lot can go wrong). More hits, more life force. It balanced pretty well. Now it’s garbage in large groups. (Elixir S anytime over this in zergs).

And the ‘new death shroud tanking op? What are you guys smoking. Death shroud is now like having 300 inventory slots, while you can only fill 100 of them. The last 200 slots (or life force) is useless cause you rarely can fill it up. It’s a non issue, and QQ from ‘omg i lost from profession X’-ppl.

Current state of the meta.

Well Anet let me list some of the biggest mistakes you make:

Prefer casuals over veterans/hardcore. Eventually almost all casuals get to the level of at least veteran or novice. They have to learn it. It’s like a jumping puzzle, you have to practise it, it can’t be born into your fingers. The confusion mesmer nerf is a 100% focus towards casual, and a hit in the face for veterans. It was so easy to counter. It basically was a mind game. Now it’s 100% useless. Just a super small bonus to power builds.

‘Necro cannot have any of the following survival tools: Vigor, utility stability access, Heavy self sustain (read 200 hp per sec passive permanent, regeneration hard to keep up on necro, doesn’t count imo), Disengages from combat, in combat mobility, blocks, invulnerabilities’. You deny access of SO MANY survival tools of necro to them, that you will create problems why? Either you make them like now, the easiest profession EVER to focus down, creating frustration, forum whining (legit though), etc. Or you give them so much damage to compensate, they can aoe backstab everyone, every 5 secs. Wich you won’t do. So back to square one, Necromancer is underpowered, because they are the most squishy profession in the game, (hitpoints, even with new DS, 50k total hp, still kittenty, people eat true it, there no way to keep it up from burst). The slight improvement they have to enemy damage pressure just doesn’t cut it.

I just farmed 120 wxp levels together on my necro. And in the end useless, cause this update (and here I amdit it, personal decision, but still, opinion matter imo, some say they don’t), renders my beloved necro main into hibernation. Other profession have less downsides now, even though meta wise, they seem almost equal.

For you making greater marks a master trait, while making base marks bigger may be a small thing. But at the same time you destroyed my build. I need 80 traits to make the same build now. You also nerfed Terror. As someone who NEVER EVER, used dhuumfire (just tested it once, not impressed), you nerfed me in terror damage.

And the jump feature. While it could be seen as exploit, I see it as class unique feature. Vampires can jump high after all? Either way other classes have unique capabilities too. Say engi/ranger 1500 range. Mesmer portal. Ranger healing spring. Etc Etc. This gives professions unique’ness. It was also a way for me to compensate for the lack of complete mobility/survival skills. With those gone, to me personally, necromancer has fallen below the tresshold for ‘minimum survivability to be playable’. While the nerf is not big, hell maybe 5-15% overall, you nerfed survivability of a profession already sitting at the bottom. My personal tresshold (minimum survival – wvw), is Exceeded.

You guys have big and good idea’s. But what you may see as small update, cause me (and probably a lot of others) to completely drop necromancer, and having to start all over on another main.

PS this counts for pvp too, that i do daily. The weaker stat balancing in pvp, makes it slightly easier for a berserker necro to get away though. But that’s where it ends. Focusing down necro is just as easy. All the updates are both wvw/pvp. They affect both as badly. And in pvp necro’s are punished with 0 life force at start of battle. If a thief decides to focus you, you must really have the perfect thief counter build, or you’ll die. All of my post applies to pvp, except the wxp anekdote and the deathshroud-jump part.

@ OP finally someone who crystal clear explains, why Necro is lackluster. Why recent nerf, was overdone. Give it a read Anet… I know you are out there.

Torment?

Rework of Jug?!

Rush/Bull?!?

Healing Buffs?!?!?!

Apparently I’ve been sucked into parallel dimension where ANet actually <3’s warriors!

We care about all professions. =)

If you cared about necromancer, then this patch would not have been there. Believe what you want, perceive class balance as you want, but necromancer are almost useless now, and the worst 1 vs 1 class in the game. All my investments Annihilated. Now i must reroll.

Translation:

I JUST got my necro maxed for the OP-ness and you did a balance patch! QQ!

Show me a vid of the op-ness of necromancers. Thief, mesmer still way more op. But if you wanna live in phantasyland go ahead.

There are plenty, 7k-10k deathshroud bombs?

First you must have life force. No kills no life force. Pvp a starting necro is a wet doodle. Secondly, so many ways to counter death shroud. He’s going to bomb you? interrupt him, run away. When he shuts down DS, there you go, 7-10 sec cooldown, he can’t bomb you anymore. Or he already lost all life force by betting to fast.
