Guild Wars 2

Wow this is really simple now! Thank You!

Great work, loved that scene!

Lian Olsam.9541:

r u serius? 80% of boss if u go melee will shoot u, and stop with that useless “bad player” and stuff like that

Yea we all got trought this stage of the game when we first started playing GW2.

I came from WoW, played from the start, and bosses in GW2 where like a truck hit me in the face with full speed it’s like night and day… it was like WTH this @$#&%^ hit me for 40% of my HP are you serious I have only 2 dodged *RAWR! etc.

It’s not “bad player” rather its “unskilled player” this is not the game where You take hits with full defensive gear and stay still in one place spamming skills… here You must build up the character so it can migrate the damage not with stats like armor or hp but with dodge, movement skills, evasion skills, blocking skills, projectile blockers/reflecters or other things.

There are many good and skilled player on YT that shows You how this should be done, what to wach for, it’s all in the animation You have a second sometimes less to react to an animation or You are dead.

There where many topic like this first weeks after the game relesed becouse most of the players did not understand how combat works. And for some time it’s all about melee, You take more risk so You do more damage, and sometimes only SOMETIMES range for really specific bosses.

Torch 4 is the only “Blast” finisher the has.

Here.

In many “trailers” and on “some” personal quests really rarely there is such beatyfull music played in the background while most of the time @ doing maps with alts I hear… nothing.

Does this problem occur only in my client or it’s a common problem ? Sometimes something in the back is played and after a while it’s silence again…

I tried different setting in options, my music square is always 100% while others are 20-40% becouse to me music is one of the most important part of playing an MMO while most just silence it down to 0.

Does anyone knoe what could be the problem ?

Draknar.5748:

I have no problem with the system now. I’ve already resigned to the fact I will never purchase RNG stuff from the gem store after getting burned in the past. It’s really that simple. I still plan on buying gems for other items on the gemstore (non-RNG), but any of those chests, absolutely not. That’s problem solved.

That’s true, I bought the Rox’s bow and quiver becouse it looks awesome for me as a skin, also the Molten Alliance Mining Pick (infinite! YES!) and Consortium Harvesting Sickle are really good items to buy and that’s the way ANet, those items are worth their price, and I don’t feel bad about spending real money on them.

Just my thoughts on weapon skins tickets in the past months. You may feel same or not, feel free to writhe your feelings about the topic.

After 2 Living Storys behind us, many of us players where really unsatisfied with the drop rate (or pure luck in reality, rng patchinko gambling) of Keys and Chests or precisely weapon skins tickets in it… only available trought gems and really rarely from drops (lucky ones are lucky)

I did not understand why don’t You guys give us the weapon skins You made for us after all the work You put in creating those…

Why all the players who opened 50, 100, 150 Black Lion Chests in Molten Alliance Living Story didn’t recive a single skin ticket ? Many many posts on forums about peaple who opened sometimes even 200 chests and did not get even 1 skin ticket…

Are You so cunning about money that even after supporting the game for 20, 50 even 100 dollars or euro You still don’t want to give Your supporters a skin rather than that make them feel like “want a skin ? give us Your real money/gold=time spend for farming and we ‘might’ give You a skin or not if youre unlucky”. This is the worst thing you could do…
There is a saying in my sides (tranlations are not the bests but hey)

“The cunning one looses dubble”

Becouse of the rng patchinko gambling many players in the future won’t buy chests from gem store becouse it would just be a waste of their money and I bet no one wants to throw their money away like in a casino.. Sure there are addict-gamblers but it’s not about them it’s about some peaple that are willing to pay 10 or 20 dollars/euro for a month to get a skin token becouse it looks great, and to support the game that they are playing becouse that’s their hobby, anyone put’s money on their hobby it makes us feel good.

Many of us players found it also very unfair that with the support we gave to the game with real money (or how many say support the new Aion expansion pack) and did not gain what we wanted… some got it on 1st try, some tried 100 times and gain nothing.

After that I and many other felt disgusted about supporting the game… and “We are sorry” You can keep for yourselves I got full closet of “sorrys”. With your action you lost many active supporters.

But the Dragon Coffers put a light in the darkness, there is hope to have a weapon skin without real money/gold but just with playing the game, sure there is a 0.0000000000000000001% chance for that skin IMO (hearind someone opened 3k for 2 tickets make my head spin…) but it’s a good thing that You can be rewarded with a skin for only playing your regular game – this is good I like this.

I still feel somehow bad but I like to have hope future will be better, or the new upcomming MMO’s like Wildstar (yet both are NCsoft witch hurts me a bit… yet I did not interest how much NCsoft has influence over both titles) will steal the players that even releasing a new content pach won’t help.

Kryptonite.9376:

Also I have no idea where harpies magically get a giant ball of lightning from. It’s like a desperate way of trying to make platforming harder.

They have it from lvl 10 and above it’s a pain…

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

He’s asking for someone to make him german

Indeed that was the question ^^

But for real, thanks for all the tips about how to handle this fight – more knowledge is always good I will study the fight and eventually come with aon idea about it.

It’s more of a question about the mechanic of the fight and not how to handle it with a specific class.

I simply cannot understand why there is damage even if one does not stand in the circle I don’t know if it should be like that or if it’s a bug.

Those circle led many players like me to a wrong understanding about the fight simply put “if you are out of the circle you are safe…” not. Dying many times and wondering what the hell is going on here… why should I do double dodge even if not standing inside the “damage zone”.

In all other GW2 dungeons i learned than once you are not standing in circles you don’t take any damage – this rule does not work here at Lupi fight, and that was the topic about I just thought there is something wrong here apparently not… I just let Lupi and Arah go. Maybe in next two or three years will something happen in this matter as for now it’s not woth my time in this dungeon… maybe I just need look for an easier game or content I’m not so skilled as most of you.

Thank You all for helping! Appreciate that really much.
Quam.

Dub.1273:

So the problem you described in opening post is offtopic?
There must be a deeper meaning in here that i didn’t get.

You sir give a excellent answer for how to avoid a single one of many attacks, it Was a formidable answer, but all attacks can be answered with the same 3 words “dodge”, “doubledodge” or “go away”.

“melee kick” – dodge
“worm/grub cast” – dodge
“shadow walk” – dodge
“projectile” – if range dodge, if melee do nothing
“AoE” in melee doubledodge, range go away
“drains life” – doubledodge
“missile barrage” – go away/dodge
“large channelled aoe” go away/dodge

That’s how You fight Lupi guys – easy

The question in the first topic was not how to avoid a specific attack (like wrote above) it was:

Why did they put red circles in a fight, in wich weather You stay in the circle - You take damage – wich is understandable, but also if You don’t stay inside, not even near it You also get damage from that attack.

What is the logic behind this ?

From not-a-elitist-hardcore-player point of view if You are not standing in a red circle you should not take damage if you are take damage as a punishment.

That was my original question here

Some players like Nikaido.3457 has answered why is the reason behind this “strange” cause of actions but still I don’t get why doesn’t anybody responsible for the dungeon do anything about it.

If this is how it supposed to work – You take damage always – than ok, what’s the point of giving players a hint in form of a “telegraph” that they should avoid this space or they will get damage…

more or less…

Dub.1273:

When you are in melee range – doubledodge.
When you are outside of melee range – go away.
Problem – solved.

Yes off topic problem solved TY, now I can focus on solving main problem.

Dub.1273:

When you are not close to lupicus when he does his aoe you can just walk out of circles because they have a long travel time. Only projectiles close to him will sometimes not cause a red circle appearing. And you don’t have to solo lupicus to melee him…

This is a good tip for someone with a good ranged weapon 1200+ not being the “main” Lupi target. With my thief and a range of 900 it’s hard to get really fast to the end of his aoe, most of the time I’m at melee range (I looked really close to all YT movies of his moves and know when to avoid 99% of his attacks, but his AoE makes no sesne) or 900 middle range.

Just to clarify by “solo” I meant we are 5 party member yet still 90% of the time he focuses you as his target and one player has to deal with him… he must survive the whole fight ALONE or die. Other players are occasionally hit with Necrotic or Leech (as a single target ability).

But a good point is here “Only projectiles close to him will sometimes not cause a red circle appearing.” Why the hell is that ? How many years do we have to wait until it gets properly done ?

I’m not getting mad or frustrated when the content is hard, I like challenging things, but I don’t like broken things and players that tell me to accept broken things… (like Arah P4 in the past) so I don’t understand why nobody from the team responsible for this type of content has interest in it for several months. I Like lupicus he’s one of a challenge but the “circles thay may not appear” is a little joke in a game at a boss almost 1 year old, on a boss that 2 hits you dead…

Every other boss is clear – You get punished with damage/death for standing in red circles or take hit by projectiles, but not Lupi, weather You are in or out you still get punished this… I don’t understand.

Dub.1273:

DO NOT RANGE LUPICUS OR YOU GET PUNISHED FOR USING TRASH WEAPONS!

EDIT: CAPS

I try to melee him as much as possible, but why do I have to solo him while there are 5 of us (and it’s not a premade of Arah vets) ? Why doesn’t he change targets… what is this World of Warcraft ? on AoE in melee range there is no place to run and you (getting back to the main topic issue here becouse to much off topic starts – this is not how to solo lupi while 5 man)

(caps) STILL GET HIT WHILE NOT STANDING IN RED CIRCLES WHY THE HELL ARE THE RED CIRCLES THERE FOR ? JUST DO A ONE BIG GIGANTIC RED CIRCLE RATHER THAN MAKEING FALSE HOPE THAT IF YOU STAY OUTSIDE IT YOU WON’T GET HIT. (/caps)

Ty for your patience

But still next time I will try the dodge back and forward while melee in AoE phase just to be 100% sure if I have enought avoidance to survive the fight.

Nikaido.3457:

Withdraw
Roll for initiative
Signet of agility (replenish endurance for more dodging)
Bow skill 3
sigil of energy

Take your pick. If one is not enough, take everything. It’s impossible for a thief to die from phase 2 AoE if you take one of these, or even all of these in the very worst case for you. Let’s say that you have troubles with lag, chaining evade will keep you 100% safe no matter what.
Thieves, like guardians, have it easy for this fight if they understand how to use their evade and which skills to pick up.

All theory works great in theory

If Lupi focus me (always f*&^ always he does 5 tries 5 times alsways on me… ) I have to dodge more than just the AoE phase… if it where only the AoE attack it’s np like You wrote there evade chain gg the problem begins here.:

1st AoE – dodge, dodge, one of evade skills (or 100% hit for 70% hp)
charge – dodge/evade (i rather dodge becouse i don’t trust the delay on shortbow 3 even if I push it right I got lag/delay and still get hit – so it works 50/50)
single projectile x2 – now here the lottery begins am I the target or not ? Becouse there are other players in the similar line and the projectile does not move in a streight line :< so i can risk and NOT dodge get hit and go down or dodge, and waste one dodge… it’s easy if he target a player on his back or at side so he turns, I don’t risk.
charge on me again – dodge
2nd AoE now what do I have ? :|
charge again…

So it’s not that I die at the 1st AoE but rather on 3rd onward… 2nd phase I even get leeched(!) also a lot (dodges/evade again wasted) + AoE oh kitten no…

It’s an easy boss if You are not the target he focuses all the time (not as a guardian, as a guardian I love the fight and kiting him is a pleasure) :<

The only problem is the AoE and wasting precius dodge, evade, utility form taking damage while not standing in red circles… if not this the fight would not be a problem even for me.

I’m not a hardcore player who solo lupicus with any class, otherwise there would not be this topic.

TY for this answer, now I have a slight idea why I got down every time he threw those impossible to see projectiles… 2 dodges back and forth is a bad idea the dodges are precious for me becouse he sticks to me like crazy throwing every atack on me (madness!) so even after I waste 2 dodges and get hit once my HP is at 30% after that he charges on me, charges again shoot that single projectile and when Signet of Agility on cd no dodges left bam down (I don’t count dagger storm becouse of cd).

Just to clarify as a guardian this boss it’s just too easy for me, so I went there with a Thief alt (I just love it’s mobility and avoidance – and no, not full zerker) and this only attack was a nightmare for me… I always standed outside the circles and always got hit by it… this is madness!

I even try to use some thief skill with “evade” option how can I evade something that cannot be seen ? Also the “delay” in pressing some skills with a 1/2 second evade is so annoying You will evade or not becouse of it – very frustrating also – and it’s live or die most of the time.

I’m a realist so I don’t have any hopes for it to be repaired or something, I don’t belive in miracles. I’ll just skip the Arah set and gather marks from something else – adapt was it ?

Cheers!

Only one question. (why I HATE doint this boss with any other class than Guardian)

Why the hell are there red circles when he does that multi-projectiles-thing ?
What are they for ? False hope ?
I just don’t get it I get hit 100% times even NOT standing in any of them.
As a player I always thought “don’t stand in red circles you won’t get damage” NOT here You dumb player! Not at this boss You stand in circles You get damage You don’t You also get damage. #&^%$ logic!

So my question here is what are the kitten red circles for ? I always have to use all my dodges – or die – and after that oh… maybe I fire another projectile on that player or maybe two -.-

(I red somewhere that “under him” is a save place for projectiles – gues it was trolling there is no safe place, our of range or die.)

Blackmoon.6837:

I understand the gamble. I dropped $55 on rich coffers today and didn’t get a ticket. Now I’m not quite angry as I understand the risk.

Although I feel slightly cheated in a sense. It’s a simple weapon skin and out of an amount of cash that could easily support an expansion’s worth of content… you’d think the odds were a bit better.

Perhaps it could be possible to give users an improved chance at rare items from the normal coffers as a result of not getting anything from an (x)amount of rich coffers? Does that not sound fair?

Hi,

I also learned my lesson the hard way so I really understand Your dissapointment, while Molten Alliance story I also bought keys to chest for real money I opened nearly 140 (I really really really wanted only 1-2 token not more) and didn’t get a single weapon skin token.

From this day I’m just not interested in any upcoming living story weapon skins becouse it’s so kitten random it hurts my brain.

And I’ll never spend any single euro on any item that have a “chance” of having something good inside.

Becouse of this I’m loosing good friends that can’t play the game becouse of this issue.

40-50 FPS before hotfix on medium, BAM 11 fps after hotfix on the lowest settings possible :/

This is sad.

There was never the intent to add a new “dungeon” in this living story rather just an instance like this.

Smfx.2143:

First, I have been playing GW2 Since beta and I truly love this game.
I decided yesterday that I’ve been playing for quite some time and I haven’t contributed enough for what the game is worth to me. So I proceeded to purchase $60 US dollars worth of Gems.
I used $40 of that to purchase these new Southsun “Supply Crates”. I wasn’t expecting mini pets or really rare items, but i was expecting at least one sclerite weapon skin ticket, Let me tell you, these “crates” are exactly what they say they are. Supplies, that’s it. For$40 dollars i recieved.
Passion Flowers
Passion Fruits
Karka Shells
and two mobile crafting stations…

This is TOTALLY ridiculous…
Being unlucky is one thing but $40 for mats I can just farm in the area that I’m in anyway? Shame on you.
It makes me sick just thinking about how many unsuspecting players have done the same thing just to be rewarded with basic materials…

Never ever buy any chest or keys… I really wanted a token for Molten Weapon I wasted 10k gems for keys opened maybe 140-170 Black Lion chests 0 tokens.

So don’t do it’s a waste of Your gold and/or money. RNG is bad.

1. Different game modes (duels, arenas, deathmach, capture the flag, guild vs guild)
2. Solo quene!
3. Ability to disable downstate in custom arenas

Durzlla.6295:

I got 3 keys from map completion and bought 1 key with gold and got 2 fused contracts shrugs i see no issue with this.

Lande.5782:

It keeps the skin rare. I like it.

By reading both comments I’m confused.

I’m starting bit by bit to dislike the GW2 rng system becouse of such randomness.
You farm Dragons and other “chest” events for the precursor and get literally blue/green crap as a reward for Your time and effort. 7 months and still nothing.

Same thing goes for fractals, You do higher level fractals and get crap 3 months in a row.

It is a little bit demotivating that You try and try and try and try and get crap becouse You are unlucky and it’s all rng. Others come once and ta-dah exotics/ascendent or even precursor yay!

It feels wrong this is my first MMO in wich I’m starting to feel like there is no reward for Your efforts it’s sad… keeps me wanting to look for something else where I will be rewarded… I don’t want 10 exotics every hour but maybe ONE a week please ? I don’t remember my last exotic drop was… 4-5 weeks ago ? Maybe even further.

Yes learned it the hard way.
The least I can do is to now warn all my friends and guildies never ever try it like that and to be aware of trying.

Also all who red this topic.

On my Guardian I blind the enemy or stability myself before finishing.
On my Necro I put Well of Darkness.

Thief can do something else, GW2 has a machanic “You can do ANY instant utility skill while casting something” so if as a Thief I want to finish a guardian who has AoE interrupt I start casting “finishing him” and at the begining of the cast I teleport myself with “Shadowstep” way away from the fight (I can also stealth myself with an instant stealth 3-4 seconds) and the “finish him” skill is still being cast, at the very second of finishing my cast I return with “shadowstep” and finish him.

Also Thief has a loads of blinds that “tick” real often like Pistol 5 (4 seconds blind every 1 second) or Smoke Screen (7 seconds every 1 second).

I bet the rest classes also got some of their tricks how to finish another player.

Well… 1-2 week ago I gathered 15 keys and bought additional 10 (25) more – no weapon skin token.

Today I spent 8100 gems for 90 keys plus ~24 from BLC (~114) and got NOT A SINGLE skin token… so so sooooo sad and dissapointed I will never buy any more gems for any “chance items” it’s just a waste of my money.

Now I’m sad… almost 140 BLC and not a single skin token

Last boss music MADE MY DAY!

Flissy.4093:

It’s because your reward level was level one. You can’t get a daily chest until level 2, because that should be the first time you can encounter Maw.

It’s stupid, but it’s not a bug. Just stating the reason why.

Thank You! Now at least I know why

This is good knowledge, but I rarely do fractals once a day is often for me (becouse there are many things to do for me and everything consumes loads of time).

The thing is I know that that day I didn’t do any fractal with any of my characters I just wanted to go as a thief for once. I have 5 AR on him so lvl 10 is ok to go – even if my personal lvl on the thief alt is 1.

But at the end I didn’t get any box at the end of maw (it always contain 20 relics).

And I don’t know why. With my guardian (personal 8) or necro (personal 7) doing lvl 10 daily I awlays get the box but on my thief that day I did not :<

So my question was: had it something to do with the issue of “dc” like thing that I didn’t get the box.

Hi,

today I went with my 80lvl alt on 16lvl of Fractal, my alt got lvl1 and 5 AR.

On the 3rd fractal something with my audio went down and the game freezed – needed to restart my pc.

We finished maw and everyone got thei daily chest exept me.
Did something changed in this matter ?

My main guardian got 10 AR and only 8 fractal lvl but I did 10 fractal lvl 3-4 times and I always got the chest but on my thief I didn’t get anything.

Now from a non hardcore gamer pov (my personal).

This is a story mode well done! Congratulations!

Did it today first time with guildies and I had loads of fun really. The bosses are great those are one of THE BEST BOSSES in game. Fighting the “trap room” was an AMAZING experience, and also those 2 bosses are extremly fun to do.

This is the kind of bosses I love to see in the future. Big, BIGGER! The fight with them felt amazing! I never liked to fight same sized or smaller bosses becouse of the spell effect in wich the boss just vanished and no one could see his animation and took damage… Lupicus is also a great boss but he like’s to be above the screen to much, here It’s perfect.

Best story mode dungeon as so far, love it – keep up this way!

Midday, Abbys, Midnight Violet.

Thx, I’ll check out as soon as I log in.

Yes You can have over 100% bleed duration, but the “cap” is 100%

In some of Chained Nemesis youtube video he explains it how things work.

This is the one of the 2 things I miss in GW2 spvp.

Sometimes I just want to duel with my friends to know the enemys behavior, skills, to discuss, check different builds etc. but it’s just imposiible* to do a duel. It’s just something every other MMO I play had and I miss it really.

• You can always wait until 4-5 am an go on a non crowded map and pray no one else enters

These are my weapons, they look really nice for a necro.

Run Arah at least once a day (I run it allready maybe 100+ times or so, but almost every run I learn something new it’s really nice to lern new tactics and methods – I’m rather quiet focusing on doing my job. I’m always open for new tactics and stuff)

Cheers!

x per fection x.2096:

I put up a post today that said “level 10 daily ping 2 infused rings + infused back piece for invite” it was one of the best 10 daily groups i’ve been in in a long time. Now im not saying you need 30 ar for lvl 10 daily, i didn’t use 30 i used 15 but i wanted to know that the people im playing with went threw enough fractals to have them, i didn’t care if they used them or not. I think i was around 30 when i got my 2 rings and back piece.

As soon as i put this up though two people like yourself started raging calling me a noob because i thought people needed 30 AR for lvl 10 frac’s. This was not the case at all but some people take this kitten so seriously like it is real life… like yourself. People want to play with their own skill level, if you don’t thats ok. Just leave it be and quit crying over it. THIS IS A GAME, THIS IS NOT REAL, PLAY HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY AND DON’T BOTHER WITH PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO PLAY YOUR WAY.

If I get this right… You compere Your

“level 10 daily ping 2 infused rings + infused back piece for invite”
with
“no noobs”

Than You got it all wrong…
Those who call You a noob don’t know what noob means, rather than be mad about it why don’t You ignore them You found (or will found) Your party so what’s the problem ? If a random person told You tommorow a meteor will fly over Your house will You take it serioussly ? I doubt it. Same goes for those players calling someone a noob becouse he want’s to form his party on his rules.

If someone’s posting “zerker only ping all Your gear, and all Your alt’s gear do /dance combo field and link the picture of the mouse You are playing – must be Logitech – or no inv” well it’s their choise and eventually they will find the team (but I don’t think so ^^) but I personally avoid such party leaders becouse their mids are often closed, their are blind, and they know better how to play Your class than any of us do (and by often I don’t mean all).

What Guild Wars 2 Taught Me.

“Holy Trinity” (7years playing WoW) taught me that Tank and Healer are the most important roles that requre skill and dps can suck You will still succeed, but if a tank or healer sucks even having the most skillfull dps You will die*

*comparing 5man to 5man

Still in GW2 You can play a certian role and players who has their “eyes” will see what You did there, and will acknowledge Your skill and the benefits You bring in Your team.

GW2 Taught me, than the skill of EVERY one shifts on the whole team. If 1 is bad 4 still can do it but it takes longer, if 2 are bad it can take even longer solo is hard but is still doable (sometimes) etc. (not all fights but You get the point) in a holy trinity game if 1 tank of healer role was bad You had Your time hard, not fun or impossible to finish a dungeon.

So yes Holy Trinity fight mechanics are nice, but the fact that I have 4 friends and none of us wants to play a tank or healer and still we can do a dungeon and have fun of it is better than a Holy Trinity one were 2 peaple have to go tank/healer fo party’s sake even if They don’t like the role… than I take the non-HT one.

In “roles” (Tank/Healer/Damage) MMO You have to do a certian role, this is how the game is, but when You look on GW2 from the classic T/H/D point of view You do it wrong… there are fights and encounters where individual skills makes your group succeed or not, if You are not coordinated You will fail and it’s nothing selfish about it.

The most selfish thing is to force a player to go tank or healer becouse without him it’s impossible to finish the encounter – or You can wait for… forever sometimes. Tanks and healers where in fact the most selfish “roles” i ever known.

Tank: “better do what I say or I leave and You will wait 20 min for another tank!”
Party: “okay…”
Healer: “ kitten STFU or no heal!”
DPS: “okay :<”

Not all tanks and healers where like this but most of them where. Here You are not irreplaceable, so don’t act kitteny.

But not all situations where this bad, sometime @ raid nights a tank needed to go becouse something happened or he just got a blackout or his computer got troubble working and we couldn’t continue, time wasted had to disband – gg.

So having a “role” to play is sometimes good, but there are also bad thing about it IMO.

Yet GW2 is still a young game and maybe future content dungeons will be more “team play” depending rather than “npc depending” of “just nuke” – not all fight are like these but most of them are.

But it’s all a matter of taste.

If i see “no noobs” or “skilled players only 5k+ achie” I just smile and ignore those authors looking for others. Most of them don’t know what ‘noob’ means… but on the other hand if someone write’s down “experinced players only” or similar “prefer experienced players” I rather choose those firstly.

Really does a player who has 5k+ achie is skilled ? bzzzzzz WRONG! I played with ~5k and over 5k achie players who (I’ll say it directly) suck with their class… and I played with 2-3k players who knew how to behave in hard situations. Skill is never something You can measure with numbers – never…

Yet I understand OnionXI some of us have limited time and don’t want to spend hours of explaining the same thing over and over and over… sometimes I also want to do a dungeon with a competent group who has experience and don’t die from stupid mistakes or just don’t wan’t to confer it’s their first time, they rather keep it secret and think “maybe I’ll somehow do it without them notice” bzzzzzz WRONG! We always notice that You are first time or without any experience, why keeping it a secret and taking other players precious time ? Those are just being selfish and ignorant. I rather take 1-2 players who are new but admit they are new than go with a group in wich appears 3 players are new but no one say a word, they rather wipe us 10 times before confer – GENIUS!

Many peaple still thinks that other classes then Warrior/Guardian/Mesmer cannot (They think other classes are just for pvp only and in pve they don’t exist!) finish any dungeon. But that’s how the community of every MMO is providing with false information wich other just take as their own without doing any research – lazy… I did CoF 3 with Necro (me) and 4 thiefs… is was a nice run – yet still most of community will say it’s “impossibru!”.

cheers.

A pleasure to watch, well played.

Thx for the tips with the Tar Boss burning, really helped!

Hi, yesterday I did Arah with a PUG of good players, we had no problems with most of the trash like Illusionists, Hunters, Mage and killed Lupi in first try but there were some encounters that I did not understand and wiped us SO HARD it hurts, so If anyone has the knowlegde and would like to share his knowledge – please do

What caused problems.

Veil Oozes – I hate those mobs they hit like crazy and give condition like crazy. We had no problems while they where 2 or 3 but in one part 6 jumped on us it was a nightmare.

Big Ooze Boss – another “We hate melee” boss his knockbacs are insane and it kills in 2 hits and it cannot be blocked by aegis or using “block” abilites. For phase 1 I took as many Immobilizes as I could (Guardian scepter 3, signet, sylvari racial) and used them when he started to “shine” before the jump it was a boring fight but hey… it has to be done. Phase 2 is… I don’t fully undestand maybe, loads of aoe that cannot be migrated via mesmer Feedback or Guardians ‘wall’ we somehow did it but I don’t like it.

The Tar Boss… ok him I don’t understand at all, the whole fight he was focused on me! I run like and idiot and dodge his atack that knockbacked me even if I dodge – why ?
Some of us got immmobilized with the tar but I don’t even know wich ability does that. And the 300 year old wisky with ‘only’ 3 second cast… i could not cast it once – I think it’s for removing the tar from players but not sure becouse I could not cast it even once! Every time I try casting 2 seconds and knockback, knockback, knockback, knockback, knockback… (almost like at dredge with daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze, daze)

I don’t even want to talk about the gorilla boss he’s so fun we skip him always.

But the next room with spiders, we attended carefully not to rush in there, and after 7-8 deaths we managed to kil most mobs and left with 2 champions, 3 silver. The whole room jumped on us as soon as we attack one spider, we used Guardian staff ‘5’ so they could not pass for a coupple of seconds, wall of reflection for the poison, mesmets time wrap, 25 stacks of might, 18 seconds of protection, we had +10% damage to undead -10% from them and the whole room just jumped on us 2 champions, 5 silvers and 15 normal mobs we were killed in an instance… the champions just 1 shotted us it was impossible to focus on the champions almost insta kill abilities with so many mobs on us. It took us 7-8 wipe-run to kill most of the spiders and left with champions only…

Thank You for the attention.

I just made 100% map with my first character. No reward. How should I make a Legendary weapon without the Gift :<

Hate depending on idiotic NPC’s who take 5 hit’s on them while casting 1! Right after we revive them the attack the boss like idiots with 1/2 hp!

There is more, the NPC’s are so stupid that they need to finish their auto attack long-as-hell-cast rather than put a protective bubble.

I find the fight itself good but 2 hours of wiping becouse the stupid NPC won’t put down the bubble it rather use auto atack and die is so stupid id hurts my eyes…

Best one I remebered, from Necromancer when his “30-second-trait-minion” dies:

“It had a good life… short, but good”.

Lexan.5930:

how about reducing his dmg by say 10% in general when he eats no grubbs.

If You (and Your team) dodge in a proper moment (on phase 1) You will not make any single grub spwan.
I learned this when watching a guardian range soloing Lupcus

I like the new AC, you need to focus much more than it was, and it was a little boring after 70th time…
