Guild Wars 2

PLEASE RECONSIDER BRINGING STABILITY OR CONDITION REMOVAL AS THESE THINGS ARE CLEARLY NOT WORTH IT.

Totally agree. This should not happen. There isn’t even a ‘party leader’ so-to-speak like in other games, since anyone can add players/request kick etc.

go to arah, path 2. Get perma-stunned by inquest and one-shotted by sniper and then cry

Ok clearly no1 in this thread has gotten suppressed for typing ‘lfg’ in chat 3 times in 5 minutes. That’s just rediculous. I’m sorry but this needs to be fixed.

Probably just get another one during next year’s Halloween event.

This

Ill come if you can guarantee Simin kill
Prob not tonight tho as I am dead tired.
What timezone are you in?
I have a 80 ele (glass cannon) and a 80 guardian (shout master)

screenshots are always included, you have the option of including one you take specifically.

Mine has been at 0xp since i started the game at pre-release and I’ve gotten the monthly survivor achievement numerous times.

I think it’s cute. It was hilarious during Mad King Says

OP, you misunderstand. Yes waypoints costs are a gold sink, they are also a CONVENIENCE cost. If I wanted to run from rata sum to frostgorge sound to save the waypoint cost I could. But I’d waste 30min doing so. There is nothing game-breaking about trying to save a couple silver on teleports.

These really should have been in the Hall of Monuments. The rewards from the HoM were a terrible disappointment given the hours i spent in gw1.

Yeah it’s incredibly frustrting because every second you waste (sually not your fault) getting sparks back on shrine means another 1kk hp regened

OP: you don’t sound like you have done very many of the dungeons at all. Go clear every path of arah (without abusing waypoints/exploits) and we’ll see if you still think this game lacks challenge

Just spent 5 hours on this thing. We all respec’d full dps and still couldn’t do a kittening thing. 98% of the time either: 1) the sparks bug and extra one spawns or one of the sparks takes up two slots, leaving one floating around the shrine guaranteeing simin will full heal; or 2) the sparks path terribly (due to the fact that they are ranged) and one will float around, guaranteeing that simin will full heal.
Maybe give us a timer to get the sparks back on shrine BEFORE simin starts healing? or maybe nerf the heal rate? This kitten is rediculous.

The masterwork (green) tools are level specific with respect to the level of the storymode quest you get them (i think they go +1 or 2 tiers above the area you got them in). They are far less effective than they appear from reading description.

If you get ruined ore from a mithril node while using a mithril mining pickmake sure you are not in combat as that will also give you ruined ore sometimes.

you only have a CHANCE of getting ruined ore if you are HIT right when you are mining. Most of the time it won’t happen – pretty much everytime i mine I’m in combat and this has only happened to me once or twice.

I will say the same thing i say everytime i see one of these threads (and there are a lot of them).

Learn to play.

If you’re only using the same 5 skills, perhaps you need to think about changing your slot skills/second weapon to something you’re going to use more. When I play the only time I use the 1 skill is when everything else on both weapons are on cooldown >.>

No. Because they charge you every time you list an item this would never work. I think the way the TP is setup now works great. So much better than other games (eg. AH in D3 is TERRIBLE).

I’ve gotten two exotics from a chest before. RNG is RNG.

Logitech G700 here.

Direct binding ingame doesn’t work.
Alt-tab and coming back ingame while the logitech crap is in memory makes the keyboard unresponsive (have to reboot game).
The solution in my case is to bind the keys inside the logitech software, save the profile in the mouse internal ram, kill the logitech process, and finally bind again my keys ingame from the mouse.

So stop running the program once i have set my keybinds? How do i ‘save the profile to mouse internal ram’?

I played pretty much exclusively monk in gw1 and loved it. I miss it too, but I also love the new combat system.
You can play a pretty effective healing spec as ele, guard, or enig tho if you spec right.

Same here, stuck at 4/5 despite having completed every single halloween achievement. Completed them basically as soon as they were available, except for pumpkin carving and eating candy, which I completed in Act 2.
Edit: I always do daily achievements. I may have gotten other achievements (not halloween related) in between.

I have completed every single halloween achievement and still do not have the Emissary of the Mad King achievement. No dev has commented on this bug since we first started reporting it days ago.

I’ve used the same software for every game and never had a problem. It’s the software from the steelseries

Look at your wvw matchups to see who your two opponents are. switch to each server in turn (using free transfers each day). Presto! exploration done

Mad king is not the only instance where the camera will zoom out on its own. Giganticus Lupicus is another example where the camera zooms out on its own. I, like many others, wish this were a permanent option.

Two words: SERVER TRANSFER. This will easily solve your wvw exploration issues. Do it while it’s still 1 free transfer per day

Yeah, I’m using the steelseries software included with the mouse. Normally works fine, but seems to be disabled when gw2 runs. Example: binding a mouse button for push-to-talk works perfectly when gw2 is NOT running. As soon as i run gw2 the push-to-talk no longer works

Please post here if you have a gaming mouse and have managed to bind and use the ‘extra’ gaming mouse buttons in-game.

I have a Steelseries world of warcraft gaming mouse and have been unable to get any of the ‘extra’ buttons to work. Left/right click and scroll wheel work normally, but when I try to bind any of the extra buttons to any key (A-Z, 0-9, PgUp,PgDown etc.) nothing works.
Also, anything that I have bound and have working for other programs (eg. push-to-talk for vent, mumble etc.), which work fine when gw2 is not running, cease to work when gw2 is running. This doesn’t happen with any other game.
It’s like gw2 is disabling any keybind for all buttons.

Same here. Everything except party completed but only 3/5.
Not sure if this is the cause but I got my halloween hunting achievement from one of the bugged doors (that spawned mobs endlessly; I didn’t know it was bugged that the time).

I would love to know the answer to this question

everyone complaining about a lack of skills either hasn’t gotten to level 80 or hasn’t put much thought into their build.

Yep mine looks the same Helldiver

I’ve definitely seen GMs in the game, though nowhere near as frequently as I would like considering the vast ammount of obvious botting going on.

Most classes are able to spec ‘bunker’ style by stacking a lot of toughness/vitality and defensive cooldowns.

You probably just have to wait a few days or so. The same feature was in gw1. Likely to prevent people from creating accounts just for gold sales etc.

Post here if you are stuck at 3/5 achievements for Emissary of the mad king achievement, despite having completed 4/5 required achievements.

I have the same problem, stuck at 3/5 despite having completed everything (besides the party). hopefully this isn’t a real problem.

One word: TRAITS.

Your traits have the ability to greatly enhance your weapon/slot skills and greatly affect how effective your build is. I’ve spent countless hours developing and testing pve and pvp builds in the mists. There is a unique feeling of pride when you come up with a great build that really min/maxes everything (down to the armor and runes/sigils you use).

It helps if you have the map dominated but just look at your WvW, see who the other two servers are, and transfer to each in turn. That’s what I did

I don’t even want to imagine the computing power it would require to monitor every single dynamic event chain in every area on every server. That being said, this is an issue Anet has said they are addressing.

You don’t need condition damage to kill people. Think of it as ‘bonus’ and instead focus on raw damage? All you need to do to solo someone is to do more damage than they can heal through while surviving the damage they put out through timely dodges/interrupts/cooldowns. I can do this on my ele with just the earth auto-attack stacking bleeds. If you can’t do that, you’re doing it wrong

Coming from someone who played backline in gw1 in both pve and high-end pvp, I love the combat mechanics in gw2. It forces EVERYONE to be combat aware and to utilize their cooldowns to maximize effectiveness. If you don’t like that idea, then I’m sorry, but this game is not for you. Sure you might be able to drag yourself through a dungeon by dying and running back from waypoint, but this obviously terribly inefficient.
Keep in mind that this game in still young and I’m sure they will introduce way more complex boss encounters in future patches/expansions.

You’re way off base here man. One of the beautiful things about gw2 and a massive improvement from gw1 is that essentially any build is a viable build. On my thief I run a build completely different from any of the ‘meta’ builds. On my ele I run a condition/cantrips build that I haven’t seen anyone else use. WvW is not the ‘zerg fest’ people think it is because they think to much on a microscopic scale. WvW is a macroscopic game requiring real tactics and timing and positioning of your ARMY (not mindless zerg).
Gw2 is a game that, on the surface, seems easy to understand, but as you dig into the complexities there is a seemingly endless learning curve. Use ‘meta’ builds to help you get into the game and learn spvp. Then come up with your own custom build that suits your playstyle.
TLDR: Get good.

Ok im using double swords/ longbow shout heals, which in theory should work really nicely. problem is it doesnt because Warrior doesn’t have any other conditions to stack like Necros to protect it’s bleeds from being purged. I actually end up doing more damage picking up an axe and button mashing 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.

You’re kidding yourself if you beleive you can home something perfectly to make it viable in PvP, very few actually works because some weapon designs are horrible and some are very good.

If your build sucks, rework it. You shouldn’t have to rely on 1 condition to do all your damage for you. However, on that note, I do fine on my ele just stacking bleed. Weapon skills matter much less than your choice of slot skills and the traits you use to augment those slot skills. sPvP is really easy once you understand the game mechanics and far less dependent on your build than you think it is. You can be the top-scorer on a winning side without ever engaging a single enemy.

I too have no pvp sword skin. The HoM rewards are, in general, a pretty big let-down

I’ve stated this before on other threads but I’ll restate it here:
Add more titles.
Add emotes.
We need some intermediate goals while we work towards our legendaries!

Yes, most definitely. Anet has always done events like this. There will probably be one for US thanksgiving too

The achievement is in the community section

Check the level of your gear. Often times people will be ~10-15 levels above the gear that they have equipped. The level scaling also plays a significant role in keeping areas challenging at high levels.

Completely agree. When a dev posts on a topic, it should get promoted so that it is immediately below the OP’s post.
Furthermore, when searching through Dev comments, any dev responses to individual people (support ticket-type responses) should now show up.
This would make it much easier to follow what the devs are saying
