Guild Wars 2

Bluebird.1890:

Let’s not forget that if someone can’t complete what you have, they will try and discount your accomplishments by stating the system by which you achieved them is rigged.

Someone take this phrase, put it on veltica and use an old fashion photo from a landscape.

All hipster will cry from emotion.

Except he gets to 80 when he zones in

Impressive regardless.

I havent complete it myself as well. But it is something that depends on skill and skill only.

Other people blocking your char isnt really valid as the vast majority stays behind a few seconds into the game.

It is an achievement, and only those who are good/patient enough should achieve.

Please, return your gamer card if you can’t understand some obstacle are way above your personal capacity.

I still didnt complete the puzzle and I’m having a lot of fun.
And I’m talking about me an my husband.

I dont think it should be changed because of some people.

The waiting time is ok and prizes are very decent for a “for fun” event.

OHhh having fun on an unique event…. how dare they?

well, please go back to WoW.

I didnt have this much of a fun in a MMO for a long time.

Thank you.

In general, most guardians focus on power, toughness and vitaly. Regardless of specc.

I promisse you you will be awsome. Specially with 5% of your toughness going to precision, that an added 15% base crit from the last 30 points in radiance, you’ll crit left and right.

Now, those power/vit/toug are your focus and arent easy to get by. You’ll get them from “explorer” AC, HotW and CoE.

However, I dont know any acessory that has power/vit/tough set up. There are some mystic forge recipes that are dirty expensive to male (around 40g). But what you can do in a viable alternative is to have on those accessories of the valkerye gear (power, vit and crit dmg).

Since you seem to be leveling up and probably will be a while till you get acess to exotic armor/weapon with power/vit/tough, you can use as a very good placeholder (from 35 all the way till 80 exotic) Power/Vit/Crit dmg (of the valkirye).

Your base crit that is already high with your spec, would hurt a LOT. And you’ll get a decent HP poll to survive.

On your current spec, I don’t suggest any cleric gear.

Rant rant.

They took our job….

Rant rant….
Ill I can see fro, these posts.

It cant be that.
We just ran it again after reseting and changing a party mate and got the same bug.
But this time, we didnt skip the troll.

Why not have both?

I think it is important to have charrs being able to lick their pawns if you do /lick.

Thank you.

We just did AC, killed Howling and nothing.
Maybe because we skipped the troll event?

Am I bugged or everyone dont have music at LA during the event?

Good guide, but I honesly would change your “bulwark” build a tad.

I’m 0/10/30/30/0 (yours is 0/5/30/30/5 wich is good), but I cant let go the faster signet healing and I wouldnt get pure of voice at the 30 talent.

I’d replace it with Runes of Soldier to keep the cleasing off and swap it for Empowering Might.

It is almost pornographic the amount of stacks you get with a proper base crit and to add it’s healing is always ticking with altruistic healing.

On the down side, you wont get the replace debuff with a buff moto (and thus gainning an extra heal), but still, the amount of crits you do, specially under fury is amazing, and mainting a 10-14 might stacks is easy that way.

Of course, I do have 30%ish crit (5% toughtness to precision does wonders if you consider all runes gives you vit/tough and all my gear is power/vit/tough).

i’m strong, can take quite a beat, I buff my team with might, my symbols heals, I “cleanse” and of course, WANT to keep buffs up.

Not to mention it does wonders paired with a staff. it’s like having a second signet on short CD.

I really like how housing works on Aion. I wish they could add something similar.

There are appartments, that are instanced and everyone can have one and there are a uninstanced housing district that are expensive, limited to four hundred people.

Anet needs a team of GM policing the game. Just that.
Not like those bots are hidden anyways.

Go to option, hit autoloot.
Now you can loot by hittig F without even stopping a fight.

Brewbeer, the helicopter was there, BUT he didnt move close enough for us to click.

It just got stuck

The trick to do path 3 and actually do those burrows is, as a melee, keep moving while trying to hit it. Yes, you will swing your sword at the air, but what kills people in those burrows isnt the dps requirement, is that the majority of your melee dmg will go miss due to some underthought hit box placement.

Done it at 45, with some other in the same level range. And we only got beat it when we learned that moving as you attack strategy.

Underwater combat: Slow and boring.

No thank you.

I’m really excited!

I’ll pray for all of you that are getting angered because you couldnt tell that 22nd goes all the way to 11:59 PM… and shocking enough, it is based on PST, where our game is actually based.

May Jesus guide you to enlightment.

Till then, i’ll pop some pop corn and watch you complaing to a wall of bricks.

After we defend our aircraft, we were supposed to go destroy some cannons and form a safe landing zone.

However, we stood there… and nothing happened, not even a teleport of some sort.

Is there a workaround this?

My first AC ran back at lvl 30 was a dying fest.

Till I learned how to play No offense, but there is no room for glass cannons in dungeons.

After defending it the airship, we get the order to go down the land and take out some cannons.

However, we got stuck in the airship.

Please fix it, as my team mates kept saying it was their third time running into this bug

I will state the obvious.

That zone is designed for you to walk in packs. Get a group.
That’s one of GW2 end game. Exploring and properly doing it’s event as a guild or a group.
If you gonna solo it, it’s the same as trying to solo a dungeon.

I had quite a few: awsome jumping puzzle at a wall at odessa plateau; some personal story events; some NPC dialogs (the fire squad in front of the black citadel)…

but the most memorable of them all was when at an Iron Legion advanced base, where they were testing some weapons against ghosts. In there, I heard some guards talking about a new balthazar’s cult and they were going there to check it out.

No event notification, nothing.
So i decided to follow those guards but I was sure they would disappear after going away from the base. To my surprise, they actually got to the cult’s site and a whole chain of events started.

No notification, nothing. Just the last one had a DE tag on the map.
To my surprise, I was rewarded for the whole chain. The game felt very lively.

I’d love to see an option where I could hide everyone else that isnt in my party. You can even leave their names floating, just so we know they are there, but in zerg events, I barely see myself…

and depending of the mob, I barely see him as well, so I’m not really sure how to react to spells.

Same on WvWvW, I’d love to see a way to “hide” other people not in my party, just let me see enemy players. That did wonders in Aion and I’m sure it could be of use here.

I agree.

My dps is far too low underwater (and I’m using a 80 rare spear).
It is just there is no synergy as combo, no real cool moves and the auto attack is FAR to weak in comparisson to its ground pair.

So mobs take too long to die, and when they dont, they go invulnerable for no apparent reason.

I know things dont happen at once but they could add more weapon and armor skins, maybe different dance moves, even different spell animation.

I understand what you mean. I made best friends from running ST back in the days.

When lfg tool came in, I knew it would destroy community… and it did. People jump in and out from dungeons a lot. Hell, when they added cross server BGs I felt too cause our enemies became unknown people.

But you still need to have good people added to your friendlist for gw2. Some explorers path need to avoid pugging.

That sense of community you got in wow back then isnt something new people experience, now, as in gw2, you need to join a guild.

Well, to ease some of your complaints, the reason you dont know about your enemy name ar wvwvw is to prevent harrassement ( you can whisper cross server), duels is something they could add, but it seems on next path, due to monday, they will give you tournement options to allow guilds and friends organize closed and custom pvp battles, even one v one.

And thats very cool.

Healing power is not a good status unless you fully devote yourself and gear to it.

Our evades gets ana amazing scale (I believe it is 275 + w/e your healing power!) So you are healing 1 HP per healing you add.

All the others arent really good. Yes, bow of truth scale better and your 40 second CD healing breeze gets some too. But still, if you consider there is no room for glass cannons in a hard explorer path, you’d also agree that there isnt really need for a dedicated healer, as a healing power build actually demands.

So I’d strongly suggest you dont stack it due to poor scaling and you can be more usefull dpsing/tanking – yes you can – /buffing (and buffing, aside restoration, doesnt care about your healing power).

I agree that in comparisson, this game has the best underwater combat ever. But only because the other systems get to be even more boring.

As a guardian, my auto attack on any weapon is insanely weak and my CDs, even though short, are just ok.

There’s no real no real synergy, combo fields… it is just plain boring.
Mobs take too long to die and they are quite often bugged: In mid fight they drop aggro and get invulnerable.

I avoid underwater content with all my heart, whenever possible.

So, we wont be able to aoe cleanse every 10 seconds, wont be able to keep retaliation up 100% of the time (400~500 dmg back to its source) and those whose use symbols to heal wont be able to do so anymore on a GS.

And of course, GS hits quick, hard and have an aoe pull (that interrupts at least) and good AoE dmg on it’s normal scale. On top of that you get up to 2 stacks of might that triggers altruistic healing.

You couldnt see that nerf comming? GS was so extremly good that made all other weapons a mere shadow. Crithammer? Please. You could use it in groups in dungeons for symbols + protection but its dmg/utility was nothing compared to our old GS. Come on, aoe cleanse + dmg + buffs + symbols + interrupts + blind.

That nerf was expected.

""Run Forest, RUN!" Would be my vote.
But really, I usually use “retreat” as a “charge”.
So I’d rather have it say CHAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR ge (emphasys on charr) than anything else.

In fact, my cat is called Charlie and I do harass him by yelling CHARRRRR while making him run for his life.

I dont mind it.
But events needs to scale down to the number of players in the area so a small group actually have a chance to complete it.

If more show up, make it scale up on the fly. (maybe a stacking buff based on the amount of people near it?).

Same issue here

Odessa PLateau: Mini dungeon in there.

When your people take over that northeast flame camp, it opens a path to a mini dungeon with 4 to 5 puzzles to solve and a final boss at the end with a crappy chest.

Fun regardless.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

One token to rule them all.
Any character to find them.
One vendor to bring them all,
And in the forge bind them.

The main problem we see with a universal token system, is that players will find the easiest dungeons they can do within the DR system’s influence range, and just do them over and over.
It would be like if people could use all their CoF tokens from the speed/exploit clears, and buy up Arah Dragon armor. Were that the case, the armor itself would have no real value behind it. When you look at a player and you see a full suit of dragon armor, you know that they did a certain thing to get that armor. With a universal token system, you lose that sense of knowledge of what another player has gone through to get what they have.

Just want to add that Arah armor looks horrible on my charr.

Thank you.

Please add more “awsome” and “zomg” skins to your hardest instances.

I suggest something with lasers and kittens…. well, just lasers because I’m a kitten.

I dont see any reason for people to be over reacting to someone who gave their opinion.

While I dont agree (and wonder why he needs to post it here), I believe just ignoring him is a better choice.

Devs dont ignore their player base, at all, we have a good response to our concerns if you check dev tracker thread. What wont hapkitten that we’ll get a new WoW remodelled. They made it quite clear.

So if you want to play a WoW “Clone” (and it’s not, but closer), you have rift. Better game mechanics, better updates and have the same game concept of Vanilla WoW.

If you want to play a completly different approach, a game that takes exploring as a central part of it’s progression added with some interesting pvp aspects like WvWvW (aion, DAoC, Warhammer) siege events, you have GW2.

Of course more could be added, more maps, more instances and even more raids with unique (and awsome) skins. But revamping this into WoW isnt going to happen.

Semi casual here.

I’m sure I played way mor than 70 hours and I have one set of full exotic. Working, slowly, on my legendary.

And havent done all explorer pathes so far.

Game has a lot to do, but more can’t hurt.
I’d love to see more conquest maps, more different types of areas and dungeons.
I’d LOVE to see some sort of raid as well, 10 people, in a instance that takes a good while and hard work to progress.

But if I turn around and tell people there isnt enough to do right now, I’d be lying.

I didnt feel that nerf.

Yes, our symbol synergy is weaker, but you still get a gap closer skill on a short CD and a very strong class.

My only complaint is the change of keybinding, but it’s not the end of times.

My class is still strong and competitive and everyone wants guardians in groups, pvp or anything.

Right now, we have around 5 or 6 commanders and sometimes I get confused.

And I can’t be the only one.

I believe it would make things easier if we could either have a custom symbol for comander or at least have a guild emblem on map representing it.

Xsorus.2507:

ArenaNet basically took multiple features from Multiple MMO, and did poorly on them all..

World vs World – Worse then both DAOC and Warhammer Online
PVE – Their Event system was stolen from Warhammer and is Worse, Hell Rift’s system is better. Dungeon wise pretty much every MMO is better
Classes – Pretty much same as every other MMO, only they’ve managed to make some things worse (Thieves for example)

I mean, if this game actually had a Subscription fee, You’d get to see how poorly it will end up doing.

Its going to fail just as badly as every other MMO released.

That your personal opinion.
I cant agree that world v world is remotely close to player versus door on warhammer.

The only thing killing wvwvw for me is the lack of faster control on those exploits….

DE events are fun and people complainning about it is because they cant get a group of friends and actually progress in Orr.

Dungeons are as well pretty interesting, but it is far too hard to do as melee.
I can do it just fine, but ranged get an easier time.

Yes as well.

I just expect to see more patches and bot banning.

Also, a little help for melee on DE couldnt hurt either.

Balthazar temple as melee is still in my memory.

I admit.

I got one mail spam this week, but that acceptable.

They are actually cleansing our servers and I thank anet for that.

Well…. it should be a shout then…

Lol

Any other fellow charr guardian is having this bug?

My “Battle Roar” isnt healing any debuff if I’m specced into pure of voice.

I like it challenging.

It is also our end game: beating explorer pathes that requires skill, spec and coordination.

Ive done two out of three ac explorer path back when I was 40, in a group of 40s as well. That shows it is never a gear issue, its just coordination, skill, spec.

Needless to say, no glasscannon spec allowed.

I dont see a reason for loading screen at all when you die.
