Guild Wars 2

quaggan says;kittenanet.. not nice.. pls play your game sometimes… and send a solo lupicus video without that trait

btw , would be nice to have an official respone to this, WHY IN HELL would you do this.

Solo lupicus without that trait (no i will not make 20points in arcana) and tell me how it works. Ele is so squishy, that vgor is a must have.. its a very unessesary nerf for PVE pls think about it.

Yes its so horrible i dont get it too why this even exist.

Once i duo’ed AC p3 with a friend, and because were noobs and it was around 3am, we wanted to get ppl to help at endboss, well i merged the party with someone who was searching and got kicked…..

Zaxares.5419:

Most likely it’s the Toxic Hybrid enemy. After killing him, we’ll get the Toxic Hybrid mini.

That sounds way to easy! it should be " IF we kill him, we get the mini" ;P

lets just hope this will get actually a bit of challenging (interessting) and not a 5min movie.
Srsly i cry for gw2, it goes the wrong way, the easy grindy way.
Amaze me Anet, i beg you, AMAZE ME !!!!

Hi,
i just bought myself a 15€ paysafecard, and well, i found out i can only buy for 10€ with it
Are there any plans to make 15/25 etc. work?
I just wasted 5€now
I dont get it why i cant pay with that :/

L2p.

/sticky

For example the Dragon’s tooth on scepter. You need to some how hold the enemy still under where the skill was cast as it takes long time before the skill actually hits

I have the feeling youre talking about pvp/wvw (otherwise it makes no sense), in pvp/wvw you can also simply walk out of the warriors 100bs, and to use this as a effectiv burst a warrior has to use bullcharge + frenzy (3 skills just to make 1 skill effective :O)

Really good guide thank you very much for it, i hope this will lower the “Bearbow” Trend
Could be very helpful to make more such guids

death until you used a WP

NPC summon grubs at lupicus during the phase shift p1/p2…..
Horrible, would be glad to have a option to sacrifice her.

They ruin tactics.
They aggro mobs.
They are very stupid.

Examples: In Arah p1, at the Ooze boss, i can do a shadow refuge when he splits, and after few secs if everyone is stealthed he completely dissapear (no bug i guess) but not if the NPC is still alive because she starts atacking it and than it is completely screwed and maybe i am instantly death. (i hate that npc in p1 so much btw)

Arah p3, if you fight the Hunter+ Crusher you got rooted all the time because of that rotten plant following you, i am not sure why, i guess its because the root bounces and of course she doesnt dodge it. and i get more conditions from the Crushers shout.

Than a major problem is that the NPCs somehow trigger the events to complete the dungeon, which sometimes however bugs and the grp cant finish the dungeon (duo’ed arah p3 with a friend last night and guess what?! the end-event didnt triggered very sad for us, we didnt used any exploits it was a legit and fun duo)

I dont know any other examples right now, would be cool if everyone post the issues with them in here.
Fact is, they are a pain in the kitten , and they screw tactics and make things harder and more complicated, not in a fun way. It may is a nice idea(!) but many things in this game is nothing like a nice idea and practic its jsut horrible (living story cough cough)

PS: i am bravely soloing the Mage Crusher in arah p3 right now while i am writing this, it is a boss in your dungeons and he is doing absolutely nothing, i havnt done anything special jsut staying behind that stone and autoshooting…. maybe…. you…. should…..take a look…..at…some……………………………………..dungeons.

Kerushi.7609:

For the people who think this is too easy: There are casual gamers out there who do not necessarily know the ins and outs of the games like you. But there are a few people who seem to be unsympathetic to those players saying “Play better”. Not everyone has the time to learn the game like you. There is no reason to be rude about it. This content may not have been designed for you it might have been designed for more casual players.

For those who think it is too hard: There are real hard core gamers out there who find high difficulty levels thrilling. They want to have to work really hard to beat things, it gives them a sense of accomplishment. This content may not have been designed for you it might have been designed for more hard core players.

Anet needs to find a balance between really difficult stuff and really easy stuff. They did pretty well with the difference between Super Adventure Box and Super Adventure Box tribulation mode. I think they need to do that more to keep both casual and hardcore gamers interested and happy.

Learning it doesnt take much time just a bit willingness which is missing.
I respect everyones learning process.
The whole Problem is that the most content which get released is nothng but dumb grinding and zerging (yes grinding, there is intense grind going on INTENSE GRIND)
and than ofc the playerbase is bad, for the most part, being “casual” is just an excuse i am a casual too , i dont play 24/7, but because its a mmo you play it a while, maybe months maybe years, whatever, so everyone can learn it, its so simple , there is nothing “pro” about it, or superior.

but anyways i dont care anymore… anet doesnt care either, they make enough money with gem store stuff, and thats what its all about, isnt it?

have a good day.

Isnt that exactly the combat system? its all about dodging. And not watching conditions? WTH?! There is something called TV where you get mindless entertainment.

I mean thats the whole point, ppl come from MMOs where it is all about rotations, to this where it is all about dodging and attention.
Than they find its too hard (no willingness to learn ofc) complain in the forums, and it gets nerfed to death… sad, just sad.
I´m only curious now, why the devs made the effort to create such a combat system and than kill it again with that ridiculous zerging stuff etc.
I think all the ppl who “dont like challenges” would be very statisfied with 1 auto atack , a story like “villian atacked , heroes defeated it” and muchmuchmuch loot…

Leala.4172:

because of the difficulty in dungeons especially.

Call them bad players as I’m pretty sure you will. I call them people with a life and the stresses that come with that life. They don’t want to come home and have their fun time one shot constantly. It’s super frustrating and compounds a frustrating real world day. They don’t have all day to figure out how to use combos properly and gear up their character. So because they can’t see the content, they play other games.

Are…a..are you serious?
I guess you find subject alpha pretty hard too, i will explain to you how to do this fight.

Stack melee (perferable in a corner (and no this isnt a exploit just a tactic because spreaded ranging is just ridiculous)) do your best dmg roation and every time he castes his aoe, count: 1- 2 – dodge. thats it (you will soon have a feeling in your stomach, some strangers call it “intuition”) you can dodge his fire which is quite a strong burning in melee if you just watch his animation (its very obvious and he do it every time after he used the aoe /spike , sometimes he just summon grubs). You can avoid his spike by standing in his target circle, or just dodge it by watching his animation ( maybe you see that that is the whole point of every fight)

The whole problem with ppl who find things to hard, they arent willing AT ALL!!! to learn this new playstyle, and it just has to do with agility, ofc some ppl arent good at it, but i am one of them ( the doctor said im “slow” its kinda like “hyper active” but the opposite anyways once you rly learned it , which is very simple, dungeons are very easy if you dont do them solo.

Sry for off topic but youre statement realy shocked me and maybe that wil help you…

BTW: A-net could just make a tutorial like in gw1, where you get real teachings instead of a story where you become a hero by nothing but auto-shooting…
ppl are like " oh wow that shortbow autoatack compared with my bear is really strong, that should work everywhere "

Shiren.9532:

It’s a sub 80 zone. It shouldn’t have complex combat mechanics that challenge the most experienced players. Save that for (hopefully) the instance.

Well the living story (which lead me there) is kinda the “End-game content” isnt it?
But youre right hopefully there will be an instance

the instanced story was fluffy as everything… oh wait there was a chap which even was able to kill majore :O

I just found an elite, its pretty cool thanks, maybe shouldnt have posted this so soon

Why is it so easy?
Youre completely wasting that awesome combat system you created by zerging and fluffy mobs!
Im a glas cannon thief (of course) and the mobs are not dangerous at all. Havnt seen any elite yet, but that Zerg will kill it in 1sec without any effort.

Are you aware that (out of my experience) 60% or more of the playbase simply dont understand the combat system at all?

Why have you even created this? with the content youre releasing it would be totally enough to jsut be able to stand still and autoshot. Thats whats going on there in the living story!

No challenge at all.

Players who like a challenge need to solo dungeons and champions (which of course is pretty fun) which are unchanged since release …

Well take it or leave it!my point of view is your ruining this game, the mobs are awesome the whole style is just great …. but….. they hit like fluffy flufs from fluffy – land

You know why so many players complain that content is too hard? they are bad.
So why are they bad? because they dont get challenged at all in open world…so they dont learn, they run around with bear and bow and kill everything.. of course no champions because they are way to hard as they are a group event anyway.

in beta it was all pretty cool, mobs are dangerous etc. but you nerfed it to DEATH!!!!

IMPROVE YOUR COMBAT SYSTEM!!!! make fun , dynamic challenging fights!! not fluffy fluff fluff storys… oh sry of course the “toxic-alliance” (i guess?) is pretty dangerous they even have a downstate, after i onehitted them with backstab i still need to press F or they mabye get rezzed :O but anyway!

The combat system is the best thing this game has to offer. but sadly you dont care it seems. you always create new enemies but in the last updates they are just sad and easy.

alright we did it right now, seems they reset after 2 trys (more or less)

Found another bug, the dragon get invinsible for a few secs rigght after appearing before the cannons…
.
I have one question now! i did this whole thing solo once (except door) and they didnt reset! why? ….. jsut the 1st one did after i died once.

we got another guy, got him to 5% , he didnt reset and we killed him with the next try.
very strange.. seems like a bug..
lets see how the others go.

BTW: you dont see combo fields at that ship…. so much bugs , it sucks ^^

Im in Arah story right now with a buddy, and we are fighting those dragons on the airship with cannon, 1 right now.

There is a serious problem he resets all the time if you dont kill him on one try!.

Any advice? asap cause this is live, i had this with a full grp once too, and the opener ragequitted than and kicked us all out.

PS: dearest Anet Team, you MUST take a serious look on some dungeons.
This right now in story is just aweful neither fun or challenging. It literally sucks!!

I dont think hes too hard, just right.
There shall be more champions like this in story which actually forces a player to learn his class and game mechanics, maybe change the weapon for it instead of 24/7 staff(necro) or longbow (ranger,warr) camping.

GW2 has the badest playerbase (for the most part) i´ve ever seen.
It would be better if you havnt nerfed everthing, like the whole open world…
there are some players who absolutely have no clue how to use dodge or other ulitiys.

This is serious! i respect everyone learning progress, but some ppl rather go to the forums and complain instead of learning it..
That is seriously serious. It ruins the quality of the game.

But dont worry, it probably doesnt effect the game store.

path 2 in 13 min.

(i hope its ok for if i post that as an example because its a good one)

btw for my first time arah p2 it took 4h and we didnt finished it because one has to leave before endboss <.< was 2months after launch

yep, well i always got the feeling that they actually care what the playerbase think.
I know some posts and opinions are way over ridiculousness( dont know if thats a word but you get me i guess)
But some are just true and it seems like they dont give a kitten.

But sure maybe it keeps player playing the game if they have to wait for stuff…

<.<
I dont play that game because of that. it just kitten es me off and such things delete my fun and interesst in the game evermore slightly (once again i have a feeling that there might be grammatical issues)

HI

This is so extremly alt unfriendly, because its limited to get laurels just though daily.
I just wanna move some Ascesorry from one char to another if i decide to play a while! This is no big deal i think.

I just saw after being very excited to craft my first Ascended Weapon that i need kitten laurels for it, and actually i am saving for Ascessorys for my Twink.
This just makes me sad. Is a Game supposed to make one sad?

And i will get real now : We can all DIE any second! NOTHING is saved! There is no future we know, we are in between of a mess of moving stones and energys, chaotic swimming in vaccum! if one big rock decides to just crash into the rock were living on (we call it earth) than were all dead.
So if one decides to grind the kitten out of his self just to get want he (she) wants! He/she should do so!
The Laurel system is nothing more than waiting and doing shores to actually be ABLE to wait!
Seriously?!
It seems to me youre trying desperadly to keep one playing in game. But i have to say the only thing i mainly like at this game ist that awesome combat system.
I do like that crafting which gives a feeling of progress to one character! but now i figured out i need god kitten laurels for the Recipes. But i am recently saving them to get ascessorys!
This kind of things is like a punch in the stomach.

Just a little background story of mine here.

So mighty players of gw2! i think everyone would like it to atleast be able to make the trinkets account bound AGAIN to give it another character! which one is playing at the time.
IF you do! say so. and make Anet feel your wrath!!!!!

sry for my bad english, but i want a real dev to read this! and i have the feeling in the german forum it gets mostly ignored.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

You can just use Pistol Whip as soon as he starts animating it and dodge once at the end just to be safe.

i rather do exactly the roation that Dub posted than trying that (again x.x ).

the only thing it works is his p1 kick i think, because its (for me) quite predictable. but i dont trust that much xD its like anubarak said

I wish it would be a bit more structured .. if you know what i mean.
I mean its horrible when you get hit without there being a circle or anything.
Or that delayed kitten. Its just panic dodging for your life it seems to me sometimes EVEN i have kind of a structured dodge behavior, but there are still sometimes these unpredictable hits q..q which as a thief mostly onehit me :/

Isnt it that it kinda starts at lupi and spread out from him? sometimes i get hit from things at melee range after all other circles have already landed.. that seems very buggy for me.
Or today i dodged backwards and got hit from one so fast before i even could dodge forward again oO

But its possible to dodge it anyway i guess otherwise there wouldnt be that much solo videos….

PS this sort of thing i mean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMjeOo5sNYc but sometimes even worse

Anubarak.3012:

with sword

• press 2
• wait .5s
• dodge
• wait .5 – 1s
• press 2
• be happy in ~80% of times

with dagger

• dodge forward
• use healskill withdraw
• be happy in ~80% of times

but there is always a chance to get hit by them no matter what. Even if you dodge all the time there might be a chance to get hit when you are back in melee range. The only really save method is to use SB 3333333 to get away from him

You mean the first pressing of 2 when i already pressed it to shadowstep to lupi? so i shadowstep back, right?

Dub.1273:

As thief: Dodge, Dodge, Withdraw, Dodge, Roll for Initiative, Dodge, Weaponswap, Dodge, Dodge, Signet of Agility, Dodge, Dodge.
You should be safe now.

LOL xD alright thanks, i mostly just wann safe my heal for when i got dmg somehow ^^ but ill try that

Hi
Im seeking advise in how to deal with that AOE in p2 as a thief for example, i melee him all the time, dodge backward when he casts it mostly wait a bit (sometimes it hits me unusual soon -,.-) and dodge forward again, not blindly but with a a bit coordination to actually dodge out of the circles.

So.. sometimes it hits without there being a circle, and sometimes its soo god kittening delayed it drives me mad! i mean does it depend on luck mostly? Im playing as a thief right now , yes i know i have many dodges but not always, i can dodge it most of the times but sometimes its soo ridicolously delayed …it just drives me mad xD.

Any advice?

I would like to see a “Champion Risen – Archmage” to be soloed, tryed it today a few times, she literally kitten-slapped me to death (but with lightnings)

Also that Eye Of Zhaitan is really easy, if you just get obscurred for his “Death-beam” (otherwise its impossible i think xD)
But the only time i tryed the one in cursed shore , it resetted all the time oO.
that in Malchors is very relaxing i think

Broadicea.8294:

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

Technically, Engineers can only range. They’re pretty good at it, too. They have a lot of support and healing skills, so Engineers are like mini guardians in that sense.

BRA being wrong again.

Haha Lets Smack, Whack and Thwack him!!!!!!

btw that autochain could rly use a dmg buff :d

I play a Engineer with a static discharge build, and i rarely stay ranged. Just on a few bosses were i am too stupid to dodge everytthing (like vulcanic shaman)
I mostly use Bomb Kit too, never rly used Granades much cause it kills my fingers.

Much dmg comes from Blunderbuss (directly in dat face) and Jump Shot, than i switch to toolkit for a sweet Pry Bar hit (hit 15k once at arah p3 hunter) than i switch to bombkit for the best autohits and maybe do a might combo with firebomb + BOB + rifle turret blast + Supply Crate
But yea it has the best (MID-) ranged burst ive seen. dont know much about granades tho

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

I did it!

Wow! very impressive! Youre a little artist , arent you?

Armor is comming too, so it gets even worse -.-

Seriously GW1 was and is a great game and there wasnt any kitten like this!!!! just a few armors and a few weapons but rly nice content, great “Dungeons” or “Elite Areas” or whatever, like UW, DoA, etc. etc.

WHY NOT ADDING MORE FUN CONTENT? WHY NOT MAKE BETTER DUNGEON MECHANICS????

Also the offhand dagger 4 skill which is a bounce, and underwater DS 2, its not outstanding, but ok.

Necro need some cleave dmg, even the first 2 spear autohits arent cleave o.o
whyyy?

AND REFLECT1111!!!

Had an Ele in the grp who camped most of the time on Earth Attunement(with staff) , I found this very impressive, because he applied weakness to our foes which protected us from serious damage. Sometimes he even switched to water and healed us a bit…
but i never saw him on Fire which was good because there was to much risk that the foe lost his weakness and we may have wiped-

Dunno what armor he wearing but could be some sweet PTV or even Knights.
Well he was well protected, it took a few hits before Lupicus killed him…and he only died 3-4 times

me with my squishiness got onehittet from his p2 hit once because i pressed the dodge too late(

Dont make it easier pls , everything is perfectly soloable, just put a bit effort in your gameplay

That dissapointed me too, not even a change to the Engineer glow.

Others see me glowing while playing flute, wearing kit etc.
BUT I DO NOT!

thats ridiculous….

Predator need better footsteps, sooner or later…
Never, would be a punch in the stomach for every player who wears it.
But as a Engineer one is used to it anyway

I LIKE LIADRI!!!! keep it up pls)
Beat her many Times even the 8 Orb Achievement 2 Times

But i support the opinion of the colour blind ppl who cant seee that circles good enough(

Anyway the Fight is fine, there NEEDS to be challenge in a game!!!! -.- you can also watch TV or read a book or go for a walk, or whatever if you dont like challenges.

Here is a Tipp for Liadri, just be completely aware!!!!
Dont fantasies, dont talk with your immaginary you, just watch, play and learn!!!!

It took me 1-2h in a row for the 8 Orb achievement until i had a decent “feeling” of the fight and could controle her better

Did it with a glass cannon engi btw, also with a glass cannon berserk necro, but not the 8 orbs

alright i just saw another thread, sry for creating a new one :d

But there is no official answer , so maybe you can bring some clearity

So.. what about transmuted legendarys?

Ive transmuted mine , because (lets be honest) PVT stats are pure garbage for PVE, or for a full zerk static discharge engineer, which i am. I dont want to farm months for a Weapon which gives me a lack in my effectiveness(
I have the Predator , and also that Sigil is just bad compared to sigil of energy which i use (which is so awesome,I can not play with anything else).

So will the “Legendary” finally be destroyed because of that (cause maybe i will not be able to change the stats out of fight) or will it completely be a Legendary again and updated to the new stat lvl or something?

I rly hope for a Devs answer, and i also hope you gave Egineers a glow during wearing a kit, since you change few Legendarys

Ive done Liadri and 8 orbs bonus with a full zerk static discharge engineer!!!

it took me countless trys (40 in a row to get 8 orbs) but it is 100% possible
Just learn the mechanics, get a feeling for it, learn you class, learn from your mistakes, contemplate what you can improve to beat her etc.etc.

It was very nice and i hope there will be more such things…

BTW you all learned, writing, speaking, walking etc. Thats kinda OP too, but you did it :d

UnknownFreak.2805:

QUAGGAN NEEDS TO JUMP!!!
But I would also have “brawl” with quaggan tonic.

Oh yea! brawling would be awesome

Yea but it just happens somehow

And if im about 100+ i´m starting to get afraid of finger issues :o

Hellooow

I want to suggest ,to give the Quaggan Tonic (from straits of devastation) more animations, and the most important – make it able to JUMP!!!!! its quite a difficult event if you have to solo the Drake mother, and the tonics cost 1,5s .

So it would be very nice if there were some more animations, like sitting or stuff.
But for all, JUMPING!!! i would soo love it, to do Jumping Puzzles as a Quaggan Baby _
I guess im not the only one

I mean even the endlesss mystery tonic things can jump (like a coffin for example XD)

Have a good day

Helloow

So i have countless drops,drips and drups of liquid karma, and im very afraid of opening them because 1 stack takes aound 500 clicks q.q.
This is no Joke btw, it srsly hurts if one clicks too much
So my suggestion is , make an option where you just right-click at the karma stack (or whatever) and can choose “Use all”

It will be such an relieve, seriously. _
Right now i have to decide, do i open my karma things? or do not and play normally?
Because after opening them i definitly need a break not that there will be serious finger issues like tendonitis or such

Have a good day!

Btw Toolkit still looks like a Bombkit

Lightened up the darkness today

with my full berserker – static discharge – engineer, using rifle turret/toolkit/bombkit

did ift after around 40 trys in a row ^^

Killed it with fire!

Just kidding, killed i with my full berserker static discharge Engineer

10/30/0/0/30

gg

I think its pretty awesome, i enjoyed the story instance very much.
The Pavillion is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! kittenING BEAUTIFUL!!!!
The gauntlet is a very nice challenge.
It was such an awesome feeling after i beated Liadri the first Time
Never had such a feeling since my first Lupicus kill
Its very awesome, idk why there is so much whining about this, this is the Game! if you dont like it, dont play it! simple.
And btw there is much other content you can enjoy.

But ofc its not enough for todays human being, it will never be enough :P
If you get what you want, you want something else, if you get this, you want something else.. and so on.. stop wanting start enjoying
AND NOONE FORCES YOU TO PLAY!!!!

btw i realy wish more bosses like those legendarys in the events, in Dungeons!!!
Zerging it with 30-50ppl or whatever, makes it veery boring

Ellen Kiel is going to create a global Police State under her control, have fun with that guys.

The invasion of the Aetherblades is a huuuge false flag agenda!! they work for Kiel.
Its all to unite the citizens against one enemy! which keeps they under constant terror.
Everyone will blindly follow Kiel, because it appears that shes the good one, and the Aetherblades are the bad ones!!!!

Kiel will setup new Rules and Laws and will slowly reduce our rights to almost nothing.
She already build many secret “Camps” for a huge numbers. of ppl, – concentration camps.

So probably there will be a bigger false flag “Event”, this Event will create a national “crisis” That Crisis will destroy the natural, usual rights we have for the “matter of security” and all citizen wil be transportet in those camps, to “secure them”
And voila! a dictatorship was created, in which everyone who just think something “wrong” will be executed…in the meaning o security!

GG
