Guild Wars 2

For Marionette, my score is 0:7 in overflow and 1:1 in main. To get into main, I had to camp the zone for an hour before the event started.

Rule 1 for this event – Dont be a kitten.

What does this mean? I keep seeing ‘kitten’ used in a wide variety of contexts across these forums and it seems so odd.

It’s the swear filter. Bad word(s) = kitten(s).

It’s the forums swear word filter. It can be a bit oversensitive at times.

And some people have taken to insert the word themselves in various contexts…

Thanks! That makes so much more sense.

I can get enough molten, atetherblade, watchwork, toxic. Since I got enough from the scarlet spare keys.

But I can’t seem to get enough of the scarlet lockbox code fragment.

You get scarlet lockbox fragments when you open the other boxes. Seemed to be 3-5 fragments per chest.

Yeah. I didn’t have nearly enough Scarlet fragment when I first went in there, but after opening the other four chests, I easily had my 25.

A friend pointed out to me that Taimi’s golem isn’t hollow when you zoom in, there’s a chair and control panels and all…

Is this norm for all Asura summoned golem or is this another hidden gem to look at? I must say this is certainly a nice touch to it!

She’ll probably be inside the golem when in combat, I can’t imagine her alone being particularly useful in a fight.

New Class: Golem Rider
ANet, please make this happen.

Found this great artwork of Taimi I think it’s official:

Fantastic pic, thanks!

I <3 Taimi. Hooray for top-notch voice acting and interesting writing.

I got the ‘fail’ chest three times last night.

Mikuchan.7261:

I think that would make it way too easy really…
But putting players round-robin rather than with RNG would be perfect.

All right, fair enough. Put a limit of five players per pad to avoid zerging.

Aedelric.1287:

Lots of mobs with zero loot and no guaranteed pay off after an hour of hard work and perhaps several hours wait.

That is the definition of soul crushing, you can not expect people to do any of that without a reward. The fact that they even had the idea to do this proves the designers do not play their own content.

I attempted Marionette three times and Wurm once last night. All four failed. I got essentially zero loot from it and barely any XP. Disappointing, to say the least.

I understand that we don’t need to coddle players and reward failure, but with such dismal prospects for the time investment, I think interest for this content will wane pretty quickly.

Just wanted to know if these are intended behavior or bugs/oversights:

This is will RNG-auto-fail the fight in some circumstances (a player is left to solo the champ – or forbid, no player is allocated to a pad). It would make more sense to allocate players in round-robin.

this happened to us. we finished 4 pads only then to notice no one was in the 5th. This can’t be “working as intended”

There really should be a way to hop to the next pad after you’ve defeated your own.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I really want to be able to join up with the other platforms, after beating one. Once my platform has beaten the boss, drop the walls, and allow us to come in and help the one that is still struggling. It is so frustrating to simply be forced to watch as one player gets pummeled to death helplessly, and fails the event, while everyone else initially succeeded.

I did this event three times last night and we failed each one. I never did see a good reason for the failures, as each time my lane was kicking butt. It’s pretty frustrating and the lack of any XP or appreciable loot for that work is discouraging.

There is an astounding amount of unsolicited parenting advice in this thread. OP asked a question about class choice, not about the suitability of the game for young children.

That said, my seven and nine-year-old kids have characters on my account (for PvE). I supervise them, turn off chat, and there has never been a problem. They both seem to really enjoy Ranger and, to a lesser extent, Warrior.

Edit: I have to also add in that my eldest, like all his friends, plays a fair bit of Minecraft as well. Between the two games, I think that GW2 has the better community and is more suitable for children.

Same for me. I pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe and get the other perks from it, but I have not received the Legacy Armor on any characters.

penatbater.4710:

just a question: does the t2 cultural armor also glow or does only the t3 glow? I looked at the asura medium one and i liked the t2 more than the t3.

Same here! I’m really not a big fan of Asura T3 Medium.

Having leveled to 80 and going solo through the entire story, I now find that the final quest of the story requires a 5-man group in a dungeon? WTF is up with that? Before the naysayers jump in, I’m in a guild (a fairly large one), I do PvP and WvW when I feel like it, and I regularly join in spontaneous group events. So, yeah, I get that MMOs are a ‘social’ thing.

But the story bit…that’s a lot more personal. A lot more, well, solo. I’m severely annoyed at the game right now that I can’t finish it out by myself.

Standing on top of the door worked for me too. Thanks.

I’m hitting this bug now too. Total bummer. This was after hitting two bugged Events on the way to this quest. What the heck happened to QA ArenaNet?

Got my stuff back this morning in a mail. Thanks for doing the right thing ANet.

I’m in the same boat. My first moments in the game are now a bit hazy, but I really don’t recall reading a warning about deleting the pet and the guild xp scroll, etc. Please allow those to be reclaimed. It’s been an awful way to start my experience with this game, having shelled out an extra $20 for these items and having them vanish unused.

Thats because there isnt one. I Lost my Rytlock, and my Chalice/Tome.
There was no warning on the day of early access, and i’d be shocked if there was one now.

Poor service at its finest. Mess up; then blame the customer for not seeing the nonexistant warning.
There is also NO INDICATION that the CE items are one time only.

GG arenanet. I’d like my CE items, or a partial refund.

Agreed. At this point, I’d be just as happy with a $20 credit (or an equivalent amount of Gems) than the DDE items that vanished.
