Mega bosses are just a bad idea

Finally, because the devs know there will be people who have no idea what they are doing they will always have to make content with a much larger margin of error than what they would with a traditional instanced encounter. Which basically goes against the idea of being “Hard-Core, Mega-Organized Events”.

I’m gonna have to agree with you on that. In most other mmorpg’s, hardcore raids usually put a lot of personal responsibility on everyone participating; where a few mistakes can mean wipe and restarting the entire instance.

This can’t work in non-instanced maps where it’s impossible to coordinate every single person present

Extreme Precursor Inflation

This thread looks like it has derailed a lot, but the reason why precursors are so expensive is because a few people are manipulating the market.

It’s no secret that many people have thousands and thousands over thousands of gold.

They see a precursor on the TP? Buy right away and hoard. They’re controlling the supply and set the price they want.

Yeah, you would think they would make precursors stand out with maybe special text colour or something, but nooo, screw that, would be too logical and convenient.

Each precursor has a blue text that describes how it’s a precursor to a legendary

Does banning a class improve quality of life?

You don’t know me.

That’s exactly why I know.

Being in DnT doesn’t make you the best gw2 player.

Being me does, though.

Believe me when I say that I am more aware than most people that good guilds have a wide spread of skill levels.

It’s easy to conclude that you’re clueless from reading your forum post(s).

I only post on the forum to be condescending to noobs.

I said good day.

Bloodlust on Underwater weapons intended?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I tested if you could keep the stacks when using a Sigil of Bloodlust of lesser quality on the underwater weapon, and the stack goes away. Therefore you need the same quality on your underwater weapon.

The people who have made money and profited the most are the market speculators and players. If you play the game, you’ll never get money.

To make money you must:

1. speculate/play the market

2. sell arah runs

Party members not in same zone

Right at Accountancy waypoint there were about 50 people.

I grouped with a buddy who was also in Rata Sum, and he appeared in another instance. I was able to right click his name and “join in rata sum” even though the map was not an overflow (ie. no overflow popup/message over minimap)

We asked around and people were from all various servers.

Again, no overflow popup or message on the minimap. We all figured it was the megaserver

Attached, a screenshot of rata sum right now. ppl talking about it being a megaserver

Hi Eowin. I’m not affected by this but being a french speaker in America, I can understand your point of view 100%, and I think your complaint is fully justified.

I hope they consider this. it’s extremely annoying to have 2-3 conversations going on in different languages

Are Dungeons Challenging End-Game content?

Even fractal 50 isn’t exactly challenging.

What’s the challenge? Mobs have 10 times the hp and hit 10 times as much.

Sadly, the only challenge left in GW2 is pitting your skills against other players.

Linen Scraps Farming

Guys, these people were not repeating the event, over and over.

When the NPC’s at some events are dead, it causes infinite spawn of enemies. These people were just farming infinite spawn of enemies from the “badly designed” event.

According to arenanet, farming such events is considered exploiting, because you’re exploiting a flaw in the event’s design.

Hint: There are other events that act like this. Just make sure to complete the event and you’re in the clear.

Guards have Staff, Save Yourselves and Retreat which gives swiftness. That should be enough to get you anywhere, fast.

I agree that it’d be nice to have a signet, but we’re not exactly “swiftness starved” like mesmers are. Those guys have the short end of the stick.

I also hunted for shukov’s launch codes last year, I made a lot of research and documented it on this post (and followup posts, with lots of info)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Shukov-s-Launch-Codes-Path2-SE-bugged/first#post1187619

My theory is that they put the shukov’s launch code on shukov himself, but you don’t actually kill shukov, you kill his golems, so you never get the chance at the loot.

40 laurels, which ascended trinket to get?

in Guardian

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

For trinkets, don’t use laurels.

You can get an ascended trinket for 12 guild commendations + 5 gold.

Every week, you can do 4 guild missions that reward 6 commendations in total. Takes about 60-90 minutes.

So in 1 month, of about 4-6 hours of play, you’ll have your two ascended trinkets!

Save your laurels for the Amulet, it’s the only way to get it. 20 laurels + 250 badges of honor.
