Guild Wars 2

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3ebr12/should_combo_fields_be_balanced/

Now casuals back on Reddit want to nerf Fire field + Blast combo. Hilarious the things they come up with.

Thank god the necro wave stopped, that was just waaaay too much

My bingo sheets

seriously guys?

I like the Jade Wind mechanic, that’s a nice touch. I hope Shiro won’t make some of the other legends obsolete though. Or devalue them too much. That would be a wrong step for the class.

What’s up with this anti-dps, anti-Shiro obsession? The forums are all like “mimimi I don’t want my snowflake special support role to be devalued mimimi I don’t want the dps legend mimimi”
The hell.

How are people calling the Jade Wind a “mechanic”? Isn’t it just an AoE version of Basilisk Venom? And Shiro’s heal the Thief’s Signet of Malice but with shiny floating green crystals?

dlonie.6547:

Oooh, they’re gonna get leaderboards for the Adventures, too!

That sounds familiar….

It’s fail-proof since these Leaderboards will actually come at the same time than said feature

Having that said, a daily or weekly prize for the fastest FOTM 50 Groups could be some casual fun or not?

Doesnt get too much competitive due to the random nature of it but seems like good fun, unless they make a filterable Leaderboard where you choose the Fractal sequence!

For ex: Swamp + Ascalon + Molten + Mai Trinn

And then results pop out.

Maybe they are thinking about apply that kind of thing, following the adventure leaderboards thought process?

From the blogpost about adventures

“However, the area isn’t exactly easy to navigate, and there are target dummies all over the place. Not only will you have to recognize the pattern in which they appear, but as your score increases, more and more dummies activate, forcing you to make split-second decisions about which targets to shoot and which targets to leave behind.”

Challenging content confirmed!

Im laughing hard at the thought of this specific adventure detailed being considered as challenging. We went from slaying huge epic beasts in dungeons to “Making split-second reactions about whether to shoot the dummy on the left or the one on the right”

I’m pleased to see they are solo, this way they don’t steal the place of potential “challenging group content”

This isnt very different from my troll thread.. Could this be a more discrete one?

respectfully holds laugh at sucessful bait

Got a Dolyak Signet, PVT, with Sigil of Momentum (stacks toughness per kill) die at CoF P1 first boss (slaver dude) and at the flame acolyte event -.-

We started this run 15 min before reset which I thought it was acceptable time for a COF pug run even if things went bad…

Then I realised I’m really kittening dumb and already had done it that day so I was like meh, don’t think these guys will even finish it before reset so let’s just roll with it.

7 minutes before reset. Acolytes event done, I slack on the boulder to watch pugs fail: surprinsingly they dont fail this part. Gate event I go stay at one spot and one of the guys gets downed to the trash mobs that spawn there, I go help him rally while the dude at Gate gets trolleds momentarily. I go back to my spot, he kills gate.

6 minutes before reset. I remove my trinkets figuring I would be doing just as much damage as these tanky pugs and so that we finish it after reset, seeing as no one seems rushed about it.

Before final boss. Sigil of Momentum pug closes with this gem: “guys this was intense, lets rest a bit, we can do after reset”

Everyone else in the group agrees to it. I’m baffled: WHO creates a CoF run 15 minutes before reset and doesnt want to finish it before? I mean, if they had the daily already, they just lost all those boss chests. What’s the logic?

yes I agree with you

I thank Anet so much for finally giving us this with HoT, we will be able to heal and be even more viable than we already are.

All it takes is the dumb pugs to realise that we were actually carrying them and not the other way around.. I cant wait for HoT healing

I also been stacking Fractal Spoons lately. Brings me back to the nostalgic times of checking for pug’s number of Ghastly Stones in UWSC in GW1.

GW1: UWSC 100+ Ghastly Stones

GW2: FOTM 50 ping 100+ Fractal Spoons

It would only cross out the paths you checked as done in the daily

Dietere.3476:

Except for the 20-39 nonsense, idk why they bunched so many together.

Because that range of fractal level has very, very few players

http://www.iconsdb.com/icons/download/green/checked-checkbox-512.png

A checkbox of that type. Then when you checked a path, it would Strikethrough the name of the path!

Example

Hodgins’s Plan (path 1) (empty checkbox, aka white square)

Hodgins’s Plan (path 1) (checked checkbox)

And maybe gray-out the name of the path a bit aswell?

Edit Checkbox symbols dont work on this forum

Ive been waiting for the “No Revenants” LFG’s printscreens for a while now

Finally delivered, not disapointed

Told you guys the freaking utility skills are so kitten useless its not even funny.

And the fact they are locked over your current Legends makes it probably one of the less customizable classes in GW2

dungeon vendor icon fixed with the newest patch

Im not even talking about meta or speed clear Iris…. But that the build should ATLEAST make some sense…. P/P with scorpion wire doesnt.

IrisTheCasual.3742:

I actually have the feeling that they know what they’re doing, they just don’t know what the general players are capable of.

Let me remind you of that FOTM Thaumanova P/P thief with scorpion wire dying at the first mob group when they tried to showcase the new fractal

The fact Celestial + Dolyak was even used suggests Anet’s trolling or Anet has no idea what’s going on anymore

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/how-can-i-know-which-paths-i-have-already-done/first#post288692

Let’s just say this is not a suggestion you’re not familiarized with Anet, Mr. Hrouda probably left some feedback there on how to pursue this.

Surely there has to be some kind of leftover there that could be used or transformed into pushing this into an API, right?

why would you need to see what path done if you just don’t do any anymore :P

They didn’t but they basically yelled at me telling me to go buy strength because that is not meta War.

Oh well. Might aswell go cleric’s at this point and join the PHIWs group that I belong in!

That’s the 4th time today I get kicked from a group for pinging Ascended Zerker armor with Scholar instead of Strength

And then I get whisped telling to me learn to play war meta

Ugh.. I guess I have to go play with PHIWs and “All Welcome” groups..

Nike, if a team pre-stacks might before the boss, isnt Scholar superior?

squish

In terms of Warrior, what’s the difference between using Strength Runes or Scholar? In terms of DPS now.

I don’t think you need to go that specific Stompy!

Just a generic aproach to Pathing. Showcasing it happening the Arah Oozes and Bandit’s CM should be fine to get the grasp of the mechanic!

I just want to make sure this isn’t highjacking someone’s elses initiative, if all is fine, all is well!

Pretty sure the old leaders have gotten burnt out and have stepped down. Though both are great people and have always been willing to help those who actually want it. Mentoring is… well, it’s draining. Getting a group of people who actually eat up what you put out is awesome, it’s great, nothing draining about that to me, but that’s a rarity. More often you get those just wanting you to carry them through some content, or that argue with you because what you suggest isn’t what they read somewhere or saw in a speed run. And, of course those that just can’t “get it” where half way through you’re both thinking “kitten , this just isn’t working.”

It’s a lot of work.

I wish I still had the energy. I made some friends that came into teaching runs with me, or that I was leading, but I just don’t have that kind of motivation anymore. I wish the new guys luck. There’s nothing wrong with a passing of the guard.

Yeah I share the same opinion and sentiment. I was a mentor too, after all. It just became too hard to push myself to do it. Three years with the same stuff doesn’t help at all.

I just hope the new guys are as knowledgeable as the previous mentors, we don’t want to see a lowering of standards do we?

I just want to make sure this isn’t highjacking someone’s elses initiative, if all is fine, all is well!

Shouldn’t you ask Iris to simply edit the original stickied post? I can’t imagine this would be able to be kept on the top for some time.

Most of you probably saw this video already, but its too good ahha

This thread is going places, PHYWs sharing stories of how effective their PHYW build are!

Reddit gold for you fellas:

Now if you’re playing to the Berserker meta and just trying to blast through content as fast as you can, then sure, the comment makes sense. But in my experience, if you’re not running meta builds trying to be zomgthebest, then you’ll need coordination or “teamwork” to get through many dungeons

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3c3fgm/a_friend_of_mine_says_he_isnt_enjoying_guild_wars/css2jr8

Filthy zerkers don’t need coordination nor teamwork!! MY PHYW build DOES.

dlonie.6547:

Maybe that’s why PHIWs stay at range?

To avoid the boonaids?

That’s why I also melee though.: to avoid the boonaids might from staff guardians at range

Iris… Baka-chan!

Silverwastes confirmed challenging

I think guardsway is going to get nerfed pretty fast because of Reddit’s tears. We all know how effective they are at fixing bugs, even though it’s GW2’s Reddit policy not to post bugs

If Symbolic Avenger was fixed to only stack with 1 symbol, wouldn’t the 5 hammer guardian still be a faceroll spec? Considering the heal and protection?

I probably do “pathing” in-game but I have no idea what you mean by that word. I even google’d it, the heresy!

Right Hand Strength the trait from Guardians that increases 15% crit chance with One handed weapons doesn’t appear to be working..

Anyone else tested? My H %crit chance doenst update

do you mean the % in character menu? i think it was never showing the 15%. the tool tips of the weapon skills do.

Yeah in character menu! It wasnt updating and I found it weird.

KINGRPG.3492:

from Then to Now! Dungeons were dying due to no space for newbie. Congratulations to hardcore players. No newbie anymore. It’s time to play alone.

Are you kidding me?

Noobs is all that there is left in this game… Write that in your blog…

KINGRPG.3492:

I buy slot for FotM lvl50 last boss everyday (20G), and I get Ascended gear every 3 days. I have not seen the tonic!

Well, color me not surprised, it’s the rant of a noob who bought dungeon/fractal runs and is now throwing a fit for whatever reason…..

KINGRPG.3492:

Please stop block waypoint while in the combat. Most player can’t play with 2-3 friends because it was difficult to enjoy the dungeon.

You want to let GW2 game is for all age-type or for only sandbox-hardcore players? If you are not aware, dungeons are abandoned now.

Please stop making Dungeon is a place for hardcore. You want a new player, but you did not give a fun. It was a bad marketing.

Welp, this gotta be a troll

Fissure of Woe RIP sniff

Does the grandmaster guardian trait Battle Presence “Nearby allies gain Virtue of Resolve’s passive effect” stack with eachother? I mean if 5 guardians use that trait will they have 5xpassive heal or just one?

Has anyone tested this?

Oh I know what’s happening there… He knows zerk is actually good but he also knows he would die constantly if he wear it. Then he proclaims himself as “the support of all zerkers”, creating an imaginary role for him to feel good about his “skill” and importance in the group.

Take a look at some of these build’s names and their respective rating. We truly are the minority

The amount of crap I’ve seen people running in pugs lately… And now this. -__-

Hehe,

“dungeon tank\healing support shouter” Mace/Shield
“Spirits, Speed and Boons” Greatsword
“Taking one for the team” Scepter – Torch
“Fus-Ro-Dah healer” Mace/Shield

I’m kittening dying in here swift

Hum I thought 4 Mace’s since it was higher DPS and also stacks some symbols, with the other guy on Hammer throwing a few more
