Guild Wars 2

I got mine from a chest in CoF story mode.

oxydendrum.2078:

I maybe get one dye drop per 3-4 hours of game play. The price of dropped unidentified dyes on Jade Quarry has shot up to 19s on the trading post.

The trading post is shared across all servers, so the drop rate has significantly decreased since last week.

Runiir.6425:

Never had framerate issues. Gather a group of bandits and drop the bomb, half the health of 4-5 bandits is worth it.

Didn’t see this post when I posted, but here.

Runiir.6425:

Healing turrets only send out the messege if you have that turned on (or simply close the combat log if you are that worried about it).

Not really, it isn’t from neither “Game Messages” nor “Combat,” but I’ll try to find where it’s from. I would guess it works like screenshot and gathering tool notification, which both belong to none of the categories.

Runiir.6425:

Those boulders weren’t always in the water, people threw them there and they stayed int he water. The rocks floating at the dam just outside of DR are the same way.

This one I’m not too sure, which still needs to be looked into so they can adjust despawn and respawn timers, or the boulders are simply useless all sitting at a place where no players could use.

Healing turrets in Bloodtide Coast, boulders at Western Divinity Dam, bombs in Bandithaunt Caverns, bags in Michoan Marsh, etc.

These items serve little to no purpose at all. The bags stays whether you fail the event or not, and they make me really uncomfortable every time I pass that area. The boulders does nothing, most of them are in the water, meaning no one can reach them, but only to see these meaningless text, some floats on the woods of the dam for some reason and break the immersion. The healing turrets is probably the most asked. Sure they help people along the road for one event, but they are all over the route and they just keep respawning and send out these invisible messages. Again, break immersion. And then there’re the bombs, they not only serve little purpose(half the health of a bandit isn’t worth the time for putting them down), but they bring the frame rate of everyone who enters the cave down for a significant amount. This isn’t the way to encourage your new players to use environmental weapons at all.

Please look over some of these and consider to decrease the amount of item that are in those area, decrease the spawn timer, or remove them once and for all.

Feathered armor set, craftable with tailor level higher than 300.

What needs to be fixed is Crossfire with Quickening Zephyr. It currently does not achieve the 2x speed that it supposed to.

First, you have to understand that there are no tanks and healers in GW2. Everyone needs to deal damage, support, and tank at some point. And as long as you have dealt damage to mobs (about 5 to 10% of their health), you get exp, so don’t be afraid to help others even if the mobs are close to dying.

Generally warrior is the best profession/class for new comers. It has the highest health pool and available armor defense possible, so you will die a lot less than playing other squishier classes like thief or elementalist.

Here are some useful tips for new comers, be sure to take a look.

Complete hearts of your level will give you a lot of exp. Remember to drop in any event around you. Explore your starter city, getting 100% map completion usually gives you 30% of exp bar. Find the portal to Lion’s Arch in the city, go to other starter cities and explore more, after that, you can go out to the cities’ beginner zones and do the hearts there.

Obviously haven’t seen the videos of melee warriors soloing Lupi…

Obviously can’t comprehend the many hours of practice it takes to successfully solo a boss like Lupicus.

I would love to see if any other classes can do it with even double amount of practice.

If you want HUGE armors and swords, definitely go with Norn warrior or guardian. Charrs’ weapons will look really large too, but their armors are fitting and are not as large as Norns’.

Staying for “reputation.”
Moving for “good, active guild.”

If you just want the “reputation of being in a good WvW server,” then stay.
If you want the “gameplay experience of joining in a good, active guild,” then move.
It’s entirely up to you.

TA armor also have a much brighter effect than other armors with the same dye color.

I had the same experience just yesterday.
A couple of friends and I were doing SE story, and when we get to the tunnel that’s guarded by 2 golems, we decided to skip them. The thief friend drops Shadow Refuge just before we drop from the platform next to the golems. When we were in mid air, the stealth suddenly broke off and we all had to run for our lives.

1. Create an alt and join OoW with the alt (around lvl 30)
2. Buy staff and another white or blue rarity staff (must be fine or lower)
3. Transmute skin onto the other staff
4. Staff becomes account bound
5. Bank it, take it out with your ele
6. Transmute onto better staff

This method works with all equipments as of now.

Not sure if the pictures are posted, so I’ll post some more.

Chockeh.8964:

Toy Staff still clips trough my head xD. Does anyone have the Kodan (hotw) staff?

It clips, but I don’t really care, I just love how it looks in combat.

My necro found herself in Peacemaker prison after a little “mischief” in Rata Sum. It’s lonely and boring in there, but she’ll find a way out… SOON…

It’s one of the best feature of GW2. I’ve always hate games that have great looking gears with horrible stats and decent gears with fugly looks.

Transmutation stone allows me to get the best of both that I want, not picking sides.

Gravity is overrated.

The highest movement speed you can achieve in game is 33% which is only provided through the boon swiftness. All other movement speed buffs will not stack and only the highest you have will be taken into account for your current movement speed, which, without swiftness, can only be a 25% increase.

Esrever.8613:

Anet wants to balance for 5v5 so they don’t want AOE to hit every player on the other team if they all stood on 1 point.

But… why would any good players want to stand all on the same point?

I believe that a lot of people have seen this video already. And many have praised the players’ skill and teamwork. However, the dev’s live-stream seems to suggest otherwise.

Here are some of my opinions.

1. Communication: They have a tool of communication, which allows them to communicate(duh). Does the zerg have it? Can the zerg talk with each other while fighting? (Don’t push too deep,? don’t push too deep)

2. Teamwork: From the video, you can see that each of them are experienced player, and they probably have played with each other in WvWvW a long time. Can you expect that from a zerg that formed with a bunch of random people?

3. Synergy: Combo fields and finishers, with communication. Heals from water fields and cluster bomb/evasive arcana. One person stomping while others covering him. Thief pulling + others to focus damage.

4. Strategy: Geographic advantages(choke point), there’s only one way in, how often will you get in this type of situation? And also mob mentality; the zerg can win simply by zerging over them and force them down to the water. But not much people on the zerg’s side were willing to take the risk. Some tried, but no one followed.

Discuss.

I think Anet did this solely because they saw the “4v30” video, which is total non-sense. The party have communication, they have a strategy, they have geographic advantages. Furthermore, the zerg can simply force the party into water if they wanted to, it’s just that mob mentality goes off and no one dares to lead in first.

Well during the Halloween event, you either remember nothing, or you can’t read. It is exchanged from the merchant with candy corn, and it only last a few hours of gameplay time and it wasn’t transmutable. Next time, learn to read item description, please. And you can make “The Mad Moon” by yourself in the Mystic Toilet if you don’t feel like buying.

“AoE abilities balancing

- One of the issues brought up a lot in WvW./sPvP is AoE (Area of Effect). We feel like they are too strong at the moment and a lot of people in WvW are gaming the system using AoEs.

- Reducing AoE effectiveness to bring them in line with the single target damage skills.

- Major update coming to all the AoE skills – make classes that are good at single target damage stand out a bit more.

- Same thing with dungeons – right now if you have a lot of AoE you can past encounters by just spamming AoE which is not what we want. "

More nerfs coming for ele’s, more buffs for thieves and warriors, hooray for Anet.

I guess we’ll see more elitist groups for dungeon runs, and more new players gets excluded and not be able to find groups, which results in more players losing interest in dungeons. Oh, and don’t forget those who do find groups but end up failing miserably after hours of trying because no one knows what to do.

Ok, I gotcha, PowerCat. This really seems like a big problem then.

Edit:
Personally, I wouldn’t ban people over this particular one, but ArenaNET really should get off their butts and fix it now.

As I and many have posted above, this “exploit” is not a big problem. It doesn’t give players an advantage in gameplay over others. It’s purely cosmetic, furthermore, it boosts Anet’s gem sell, it’s only profitable for them, not the players. The chances of them making it a feature is larger than that of them fixing it.

Edit: typo

Here’s my friend’s opinion on guesting.

Looks like a bug. Send a support ticket and wait for a few weeks. Then maybe someone will take pity on you and send you the rewards.

Map completion is character specific. So yes, everything you have done on the elementalist will not carry over to your other characters. Every new character have to discover maps for its own.

It even increases the sell of transmutation stones as it always uses at least 2 of them. For some people, they want to keep high level armor looks for their low level characters throughout the leveling process, and that takes a lot of stones. With more players using trans stones, Anet will earn more money from people buying gems than if the cross character trans doesn’t work.

BrokenSkeleton.7809:

Hi, I think (and don’t blame me if i’m wrong) but the 2nd (the one on the right) is purchased from a Karma Vendor after defeating the possessed Dwayna statue (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defeat_the_possessed_statue_of_Dwayna) in Malchor’s leap (best waypoint near it is Tempests Waypoint).
As I say, I’m not 100%, but it did look similar.

Similar, but different. Also, you can get them from any of the temple events.

Change your skill to other skills (plague form, lich form, etc), then change back to flesh golem, the skill will go into cooldown. If you don’t have other elite skills other than flesh golem, find water, jump in, and get out, it’ll go away. Other than these two methods, there is currently no way of dismissing flesh golem while not having it into cooldown.

First of all, “The Mad Moon” isn’t even a skin, it’s an equipment. Second, you’re asking someone to give it to you without offering something in return? Third, Equipments with fancy skins usually have really high value on the market, what makes you think someone would just “give it away”? Fourth, if you really want it, just buy it yourself, it’s just around 20 gold, a week of dungeon runs should easily cover the cost.

Edit: typo

“Here at ArenaNet, we’ve always held that you should be able to play with your friends, whether they’re next door or a continent away. Today we’d like to outline a number of policies and technologies we’re implementing to support this belief.”

So much for the promises they made in the beginning. They never said it wouldn’t be possible across NA and EU servers. I guess 5 months of waiting was wasted for me and some of my friends.

I have heard that the latest patch has “fixed” this method of transferring skins across characters, can anyone confirm this?

Complete your dailies everyday, get a karma booster, a guild karma banner, and make sure your guild’s 24 hour karma boost is up, finally, chug your jugs.

So much fun I caused 5 total wipes just now in TA, hooray for A-net tech support.

Nah, as long as names aren’t offensive, they’re always allowed.
Here’s an example of A-Net employee using names of copyright stuffs.
And also don’t forget that other A-Net character “Lady Gaga.”

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, and it’s not going to be their top priority to alter in any way.

With “Error:(code=7:11:3:189:101),” I haven’t been able to complete FotM on any level.

So uh, if i want the quiver just for the look, i can use a trans stone on it and my current backpiece, right?

Can i buy everything i need for it or do i have to jump into the gear treadmill dungeon?

Other than the “Vial of Condensed Mists Essence”, you can buy other things, either with gold or skill point(Philosopher’s Stones).
