Guild Wars 2

I thought each item said “unique” in its tag to avoid any confsuion? I know the ones I wear do?

Some things may exist, they just aren’t “turned on” perhaps until they are needed. There’s nothing to say that the boss doesn’t also exist in say a zone they haven’t released yet, but have designed for use with a future patch

lol I didn’t post for the sake of it The info I posted based on doing tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 in our guild 2 nights ago

1 chest regardless of tier sadly

Likely something coming later with the DSD. But, Drakkar is another possibility maybe?

There’s a thread up that has the link to the patch note. It’s just server fixes, nothing of interest

Thanks for the heads up Bobby! Sounds like March will be fun!
This is the communication we need

Just to lend our guild feedback to the missions (since the last few pages have zero to do with the op..).

We are a very small guild of friends (we managed 8 but found another guild to tag along with us). We enjoyed the content, but it was unobtainable for us to get the full rewards. Also, the one reward a week put us off.

Our feedback;
-No time limit. There is no reason for this to exist. It just trolls the playerbase for no logcal reason. We want to go out, explore and find the bosses ourselves and not feel rushed. Or Have the time limit at least sensible like an hour or 30mins PER boss. None of us have any idea how a reasonable person could think 15mins was ever a good idea to implement for multiple bosses.

-Rewards more often. I’m not saying every 12hrs, but once a week seems too long. Or have the yellows only once a week and have low scaled rewards for repeat runs. The incentive to do T1, T2, T3 isn’t huge.

-It WAS enjoyable when it fitted together. So essentially you have designed great content, but the implementation is either rushed or not fully thought through. Fix that and you have a very cool piece of content for your players

Hope that helps!

I think probably because the discussions in the Lore forum cover everything. I agree though – I hope March brings a bit more to the story than just a-b kill and search

Click to move was one of the first things they said would not be added to GW2. There’s no reason for them to chnage this stance since it wouldn’t fit the game anyway

Yeah I’d transmutate the skin over my ascended. Not bothered what people think of my armor – it isn’t that sort of game and I’m not in a guild worried about such things either

A stunning story!!

Brilliant find Scum. I found Ironman a few weeks back. Soon we’ll have all the Avengers and they can replace Destinys Edge and the Dragons will soon be sorted out!

Playing a game to have fun and pass the time, is preciesly many people’s idea of fun and the premise of the game itself though (and why I play it) and there are plenty who are happy with the end game (I am one of them). The recent statement about a small rise in population showed that they are on the right track, even if there is work to do (which we all acknowledge in some way).

GW1 was awash with threads about it dying away within a year or 2, but anet kept to its plan and an average starting game became poss one of the best mmos ever made.

I think for me, as I said in another thread, it was defined when I went back to LOTRO after its latest update and now they are entriely committed to gear treadmills/speed run instances and not enjoyable content.

I do wish they;d do free trials though – I have plenty of people I know wanting to try the game for themselves rather than rely on my ‘white knighting’ lol

Make sure someone brings The Moot for the first dance!

I do have 15 AR, but my guildies don’t yet (we’re a very small guild working together on it). We’ll be progressing past 10 soon, so hopefully in the coming months I can get a load.

ALk – I love Fractals, so I’ll happily keep doing them. Guess it’s just bad luck on my part! I’ve only done 60 fractals between 1-9, but I had expected at least 1 in that time. Maybe better drops at higher levels.

Bri – ooh good tip, i’ll try there too

thanks both!

Pretty much as Zeny says for Warrior, although I use Mace/Shield with reflects and extra toughness trait for shields. Also gives interrupts from mace/shield combo

Anyone know of any reasonable places for these? TA/CoE/Fractals haven’t really dropped any. Have heard Malchors Leap, but the Asura there aren’t always around. Are there any other places? Or is it best to keep trying those and hope luck improves?

I enjoy GW2 as much as GW1 gameplay wise. What annoyed me about GW1 was the growing emphasis on elitist play like HM. AGain, much like ehre though it was ofc optional, but to get the titles etc you wanted there, was probably the greatest grind I have seen in an mmo.

My character here feels stronger – whilst I liked the idea of the skill builds in GW1, the enormous number of skills made it both daunting to casual players and also a nightmare for the devs to balance. I also agree the fractals is far superior to things like Sorrows Furnace. I look forward to more fractals being added!

Map exploration is more fun here – it requires you to…explore! Gw1 was all about wall scraping and overlaying map templates to find edges of the map you missed – not fun for me I found!

Both excellent games, both with different strengths – was I wanting or expecting GW1 the remake? No, I still have and play GW1 so something new was welcomed

I thought they were easy ebcause the scaling wasn’t working as intended at the moment?

Crystal desert plus north elona for a kralkatorrik story with some cross over into a palawa joko story or lore.

Hylek and tengu playable

New skills and weapons

Kilroy stonekin to return!!

It is a valid concern..but it will prob be merged – it’s actually better for your cause if it does as those are much more easily tracked by the devs than smaller ones, rather than ignored (I believe the bigger thread was referred to at the recent Q&A of how they had got things wrong iirc?)

For the record, I agree with you!

No problem, enjoy!

Fair enough, but it’s difficult for the devs to keep up, when there’s many like yourself who understandeably want more challenging content and many other threads asking for (equally understandeably) the exact opposite. They wont please both parties – it’s finding the balance. I think they do that rather well personally.

There’s a lot of these threads popping up, I’d like to see more actual suggestions of how to achieve these goals for both parties (granted I appreciate it’s 2am, my brain doesn’t work at this time either )

Conncept is quite correct, it is all still there. A visit to a herald in any city will direct you to the zone(s) and off you go.

Ah thankyou Gaudrath, it is the skin i wanted

Oh him! Yes, I remember I have unfinished business with him anyway so 2 birds..one very big stone ^^

I will go have a look and see. Thanks for the tip Ari

I love the shields in this game – they have some of the best skins. I want to add this to my collection, but does anyone know if it is a boss drop like Final Rest or if it’s random from the Forge? I saw it on TP, but there were none for sale

Thanks in advance

bump in case anyone knows

Just a quick query. If I transmute a guild backpack skin onto my ascended Koss on Koss, will there be any issues infusing it via the forge when I get the mats?

Plenty, but my advice is to play through it slowly – explore every zone rather than rush through it. You will see all the “aha” moments and the lore will also open up before you

I maintain the story isn’t as strong, but it is defintely fun – with some fantastic areas. (just remember, no jump button!!)

Columba, the exotic backpacks from temple karma vendors in orr have i stats which are a couple of points less than ascended. I got an ascended backpack, but it made next to no diff, it was just nice to have.

Hope that helps!

Its better than prophecies and factions, which were horribly disjointed and badly written with story holes all over the place. As a fitst storyline, this is ok, it just needs a bit more lore and world building – the old campaigns at least sent u everywhere on the map – but that will improve as more story is added

Oh i never noticed that before wouw..nice spot!

The main complaint is down to wanting to play the content made for us. Small guilds feel shut out at the moment and that is probably the main complaint and justified too.
My only other complaint is wanting more living story stuff as its building nicely and im impatient for more

Otherwise there little wrong with the patch. We got better drops, a much better ac dungeon, fantastic overhaul in previews incl tp previewing, new dances i think, some new social stuff and lots of other little changes which all add but have been largely overlooked. Forums are a magnet for complaints – the rest of the community are likely happy getting on with enjoying an otherwise top notch game

That’s not the wrong way to look at things, but that mindset can now be transferred to exotic drops instead from teh chests, as they drop better, but rare enough to get “awesome” moment. Which is at it should be. Rares simply don’t have enough prestige attached to them to warrant that. Exotics do.

I wander around, still explore and gain mats whilst doing dailys. Although I often go out and help others with their adventure which is a good time sink between content

And I thought it was the deer we had to watch! We’ve been watching for the wrong evil..run for your lives!!!

For anyone else experiencing the issue, there is a thread in bugs which covers it. I didn’t notice it before as the title wasn’t specific to the problem
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Daily-bug-O/first#post1536604

I was on 3/5, went to WVW and finished leveller and 50 kills at the same time. I got 2 daily chests as a reward

Apologies if this has been covered already. Today I finished my dailys and on completing 2 daily achievements at the same time, I got 2 chests, both with the usual daily rewards. Is that meant to happen? It was leveller + 50 kills for ref

Kilroy Stonekin. I’m sure he used a sword at one point…he was the best of all us..may he R.I.P. (hopefully causing chaos in the afterlife!)

They already stated in an older thread they can’t make such camera adjustments – it would require an enormous re-coding or seriously affect other parts of the game. It may be they’ll address it, but I’d expect it to be years away with their current to-do list.

My (very short in stature) norn has The Moot. My new guild rank is now Disco Dwarf
But yes, more titles like the above suggestion always welcome

It’s probably something you do after a reset or on an alt, like with the Jan living story achievement

Again, congratz on your achievement. I think the positive thing to take out of this is that the content iteself clearly is good fun and large guilds have their big raids that they requested.

Hopefully if/when they compensate us smaller guilds, they’ll do so withour harming the content for the larger guilds.

Gratz! Putting aside the criticism us small guilds have raised, how are you finding the missions in general? They certainly sound fun! I’m interested to hear more about them as a playable piece of content from first hand sources like yourself and your guild
