To be honest, I haven’t seen a single inquest in all of CoE.

SE path 1 has inquest.

I maintain that the potion for CoE is undead slaying. Apart from a few golems here and there, they’re all undead.

The ice guys at the beggining are “ice brood”, see potion of ice brood slaying.

It was happening to me constantly when using my necromancer, but I haven’t played it in a while and noticed that I heard it extremely rarely on other classes.

No, if she aggros the oozes before the big room, she’s bugged with no way out. Restart dungeon.

If she aggros the oozes after the started building, you need to get her killed to make her work again

Do you know how to chat on the main map channel?

Press enter and type /m, that will switch to map chat, then start asking questions.

Yes, this is an MMORPG. They’re very complex games with a high learning curve. Don’t feel stupid, I remember the first time I logged in, I felt exactly the same way you did.

Reviewing Gaile’s post proved that my post was correct in it’s entirety.

Actually, they were suspended. Very few people were banned.

If you read between the lines, I wrote: The majority of people were suspended, very few were banned.

If you read between Gaile’s lines: The worst were banned.

If you want the actual quote, it would be:

People whose accounts were terminated were the worst offenders.

And

Exploit closed.
Worst offenders terminated.

There’s no line to read between.

There 2 outcome out of this exploit.

1. Nothing happened to you.

2. You got permaban.

There was no temporary ban to come from this exploit. It was either none, or permanent.

In TA, at the room with Leurent’s Elite Guard (the 4 bubbles) there is a very annoying bug where after killing a guard within a bubble, the bubble will disappear but the game will still react as it if was active, for about 3-4 seconds after.

Bubble disappears, player runs away, gets downed from thin air.

Not enough exotics drop from Champions ect

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

You guys will be happy to hear that the champion loot drop problem has been resolved as of November 15th!

The drop rarity of Rare and Exotic weapons from certain places in the world (champions, veterans, and players in WvW) has been increased. Rares and Exotics should be much more likely to drop and every champion should be guaranteed to drop loot. This was to ensure that world loot drops were not a significantly worse way of acquiring rare and exotic items than crafting and running dungeons.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Game-Update-Notes-November-15-2012/first

See? Champions are guaranteed to drop loot.

If you kill a champion and he does not drop loot, type /bug and report it.

My idea is to have an item like the “ash legion spy kit”, but would reveal invisible people around the user.

Or maybe an item that you hold that radiates an aura around you that uncloaks, etc.

Most expensive armor in the game.

PowerCat.5738

Considering passion flowers are now at a gold each, that sends the cost of a full set of exotic apothecary armor over 350 gold. This is insane, no other regular craftable exotic is that expensive!

Something needs to be done about those kitten passion flowers! The drop rate is infinitely small.

So uhmm, Passion Flowers

Because some recipes enabled you to get keys for half the price of the gem store, which is not the way it was intended.

Some recipes allowed you to do that, not all.

I have no problem with the event, it’s COF path 3 that ticks me off and mob spawn rates. The place that I was standing to light the torches had a respawn every 1 minute. Pretty doable right? Well my teammate was standing where the respawn time was 8 seconds. And you get interrupted by the enemies when you’re doing it, so you have to kill them!

Kill all but 1 of them, then give the signal to kill and hit the torches.

Will I be seeing more gold as I continue?

Posted by: PowerCat.5738

PowerCat.5738

According to the guides I’ve read, I will require gear that will cost me well over 50 gold per toon to even have a dungeon viable build.

1000% false.

I ran dungeons for weeks on “rare” gear and “masterwork” trinkets with “major” runes and “major” sigils. Sure 200 power makes a bit of a difference, but it doesn’t make you useless.

You can get all that for under 5 gold, while you far, dungeons for your tokens.

Wherever you have read that, it’s lies.

Well when you think about it… some people found a way to get keys for much, much cheaper than arenanet intended. Wasn’t that the definition of an exploit?

Some people farmed hundreds of keys with these cheap recipes and got keys for half of the price intended on the TP.

Those people had much higher chances at getting the permanent contracts, therefore enriching themselves with ill gotten gains.

I don’t think it’s sarcasm. She was an exploit; just not one worth banning for.

Those knights have a weird pulling mechanic.

Only an experienced puller with knowledge of their mechanic can do it safely:

Go in and attack one, then back slowly; they’ll all start coming. Keep focusing on that one, as you back. When they get into ~600 range, they’ll do the knockdown combo. This MUST be dodged, else the others will KD combo your kitten and you’ll down, at which point your generous team will come to res you, get knocked down, chain reaction ensues and you wipe.

It’s very important that your team does not come in until one is singled out, else more will be pulled.

, I thought the following: [b]"ANet is intentionally trying to drive down the price of ecto because it is getting out of control

It made perfect sense to me that they did this intentionally.

It had become no more profitable than crafting level 75 rare tailor items to salvage for ectoplasm, which told me that it was totally legitimate and that ANet decided post mortem that “ehh, maybe we went a bit too far”.

This was market stabilized in less than 24 hours.

While the market for this one item stabilized…it messed up everything else that involved mithril, snowflakes, and even ectos. I find it hard to believe that they would mess up so many markets for one. It’s basically like believing that taking one step forward then taking three steps back will result in progression.

The price of mithril would have gone back down, as the price of the snowflake would have stabilized to “ecto-like” levels, like all other “ecto-producing” recipes.

What about all the other items? The ripples from this one item were not so limited.

What other item? Mithril? It would have gone back down as people would unload their stock, and when snowflakes would have reached equilibrium, mithril would have gone back down as less people would craft the rings.

If you mean other “ecto producing” recipes, they are tied to the price of ectos, as all ecto producing recipes. For example, the godskull weapons and the “large skulls” on the TP, they are very close to the price of ectos cause they can salvage to ectos.
