HIGHLIGHTS:
-NEW LEGENDARIES in 2013 and a way to craft precursors. New legendary weapons and types (speculation – legendary armor and dyes?)
-Crafting increased to 500 and ascended gear can be crafted at 500. However, it will be time-gated
-Magic find gear removed and replaced with account-bound MF. Compensation for magic find gear now will be detailed some other time
-Champions reward guaranteed box which contains crafting loot, lodestones and unique skins
-Blue/Green items can be salvaged for MF consumables
-New skills/traits as a form of progression. As a result, there will be more ways to acquire skillpoints
-Dungeons changed to remove gold drops from bosses, but replaced with the guaranteed loot box as mentioned above. Also, there are bonus rewards for completion.
Thanks Vol, you summed up everything that interested me.
Now I just hope that mats for precursors aren’t the same grind than the T6 or lodestones. Enough of need only gold to craft a legendary.
In the French forums instead of kittens, they’re talking about butterflies.
Every class have ranged weapons, and I wouldn’t advise you ranger cause even mesmer or warriors perform better at ranged combat imo
Every professions are viable, but warriors and guardians outshine the rest.
Still not fixed ? His life has been upped but not the rewards right ?
How can people craft it yet ? I thought the quartz or whatever were time gated…
And how do you know you can’t sell it ? You didn’t craft it…
Wait for some people to craft and sell it on the TP…
Your crafts are never account bound (but the mats can).
“Guild Wars 2 takes everything you love about Guild Wars 1, and puts it into a persistent world.”
This sentence offends me and the people I know who loved GW1 the most.Imagine – Apple Iphone 7 Conference -
" We founded Apple to innovate, so Iphone 7 is our opportunity to question everything.Iphone 7 takes everything we know you loved about previous Iphones and puts it into this full qwerty keyboard phone with no touchscreen function, additionally, now we’re using Android Os."
Like really?
This is exactly my main problem with GW2.
We were promised GW1 in a persistant world, and that is far from what we got.
Also this was the original promise when the game was first announced, back in the day. That was all that was needed.
Why oh why did anet have to go and ruin the awesome combat system? That was the best thing about GW1 and they threw it off the window like a vulgar kitten.Anet give us the Guild Wars 2 you promised. I dont care about the later promises or details. Years ago after nightfall you announced EotN and GW2 and you said you would stop supporting GW1 to make GW2 a persistant GW1. We all liked that idea… why did you change that? You killed GW1 for this?! I loved GW1, it was my home. I am deeply wounded by what you have done with GW2. Me am my guildies waited years in antecipation only to be greeted by a repetitive and boring game with no teamwork and now everyone went their separate ways.
You destroyed communities and the hearts of those that loved GW1. Its lost forever now. GW2 is beyond redemption, you blew it anet.The only thing left to do now if you want to recover your old sucess i use the GW2 engine and make a GW3 that is what you originally promised us: GW1 in a persistant world.
Or you can just go back playing GW1…
Rewards ? What rewards ? Ahh you’re talking about vendor trash right ? Make you want to skip all the mobs of the dungeons right ?
Instead of new classes, I’d like class promotions a little like Fire Emblem.
Sad story OP, hope you do someday like me : find at least 2 or 3 regular guildmate for dungeons so that you can agree with them to never rez the type-Kevlar pugs and 3-4manning dungeons
but that last boss is one of the most boring/pointless fights Ive played in an mmo.
Did you ever tried the boss of the permanent dungeons ?
no really?
You can survive laser and cannons?
cool.
Lasers oneshot you, but cannons and mobs no.
Because HP are there for a reason ONESHOTS makes them useless
Thoughness is there for a reason again ONESHOTS makes them useless
Weird, I have never been oneshoot in this dungeon. Wrong build ?
No need to nerf, I guess the complaints come from people who thought that they would faceroll content with their zerker gear when you clearly need tankier builds to survive condition damages.
First dungon zerker unfriendly.
Dit it in 1 hour last night.
do it again?
Yes, thanks.
Very good dungeon.
It’s so rare to find a dungeon designed to not be trivialized by zerkers team.
I think that servers who are well ranked in WvW have far less people in PvE.
My server is in the 2nd last tier, I almost see no activity in WvW, a lot of people in LA and I often cross people in your “empty” areas… And I thik I would see more people if I were in the same timezone as my server (never played in prime)
(edited by Riss.1536)
Empty as in, not a single soul during dynamic events / group events….i’m the only one there
That’s because no one cares about dynamic events that are not world bosses and that don’t give you a daily chest with a yellow item guaranteed.
Until Anex fix the rewards, you won’t see a lot of people doing it.
Hopefully, exept group events, you can solo them.
Not to mention I’ve virtually never run with a guardian who uses a hammer on any occasion.
That’s.. pretty sad, and if I were you, I’d see it as a sign that I’d need to look for a better guild or build up a better friendlist.
I guess that everyone’s not an elitist who wants everybody to melee full zerk with at leat one guardian in the party.
Stop assuming that everyone’s trying to speed running every dungeons.
Melee is riskier. If you’re really good at melee, you’re untouchable when you’re ranged…
Most of the time people think that it’s easy to melee, but the truth is that’s because there’s always someone who get focused taking most of the damage for you.
Considering the fact that the guild group we run go full zerker on all classes including guardian there’s nobody who can afford to “get focused taking most of the damage”. I’ve played guardian, warrior, mesmer roles within these groups, at no point could I ever afford on any of these to take more damage than the average. Nor do I need to since things die really fast.
We only use an anchor AH guardian for high lvl FOTM.
Your truth is plainly wrong and based on your own inexperience making up lies.
PS: AoE doesn’t discriminate. For a lot of boss fight like Alpha in CoE there is NO such a thing as getting more focused than anyone else. If you go down it’s because you missed a dodge, not because you tanked and took the hit for the group. sorry.
We all miss dodge from time to time, it’s alright. But don’t go into some sort of delusion that you’re taking hits for the rest of the group thus making it easier for them. You’re not.
Listen, don’t assume that every groups are zerker happy, I play with a lot of pugs or different guildies.
Maybe you’re the one who’s not enough experienced if you’re not able to know who has the aggro or just maybe you never cared cause your aim was to destroy all fast.
I main a guardian mix dps/tank and two cases :
- I often take most of the damages, unlike you I look sometimes at the health bar of the others and see I’m the only one who took damages cause I’m focused, so I must kite.
- I’m going melee and take 0 damage cause I’m not the one focused.
Melee is riskier. If you’re really good at melee, you’re untouchable when you’re ranged…
Most of the time people think that it’s easy to melee, but the truth is that’s because there’s always someone who get focused taking most of the damage for you.
Stupid
“LOL I’m more skilled than you in pve, because you know I’m just better.”
I play all races, cause I’m not racist.
Of course I would, I never succeed in joining my guildies even when we’re in the same group. Where’s the fun with playing with pugs that play like only child ?
Yeah… I don’t know.
We’re talking about skins that are not essentials to clear the game or that don’t give you a clear advantage…
Grind for something that is not mandatory, why complain ?
I does work guys, its all about RNG…
That’s all because it’s RNG that it doesn’t work for EVERYONE.
The meta for gold clearing and farming : no rangers or necros or engis.
Sorry OP but you’ll hardly ever see me in your 15-25 areas, except if I’m levelling an alt.
I’m going there only if there’s a world boss, otherwise I’m in WvW/fractals/dungeons/Orr like a lot of people who have reached lvl 80. Just try the world bosses, you’ll see a lot of people.
I’m gathering mats for my legendary and it’s not in the low level areas that you’ll make any progress.
Yes it is the typical composition for COF P1 farming. Don’t lose sleep over it because it concerns only the easiest dungeon Cof and only Cof.
Only CoF
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpp0AZQjRtEOnly CoF
http://www.youtube.com/user/strife025Right. This type of group composition only makes CoF better. It doesn’t work in other dungeons. Berserker warrior heavy groups is a CoF thing.
I also like how you’re mentioning “easiest” as if this group composition doesn’t work in harder dungeons. It actually makes these harder dungeons easier.Only CoF, right, keep telling yourself that.
Maybe I wasn’t clear with my answer to OP. He asked 4 warriors + mesmer. I said yes and it’s for Cof.
Your links show me guardian + warrior + mesmer and not 4 warriors + mesmer…
So yeah “Only CoF, right, keep telling myself that”
I’ll check the new features and I’ll probably buy it.
ahh thats the best when im in a pug and i hear in team chat “look at all those bleeds” sooo much bleeding
well, the problem is the 25 bleed stack limit, so if 3 of you have the same spec, dps is greatly reduced…
and the answer to my question still remains:
the farming party means 4warr+mesmer or the ability to stay more than 1h+ ?
Yes it is the typical composition for COF P1 farming. Don’t lose sleep over it because it concerns only the easiest dungeon Cof and only Cof.
Yup the game is anti social. You’ll never see me talking in map chat, only in group, guild and whisp chat. Yup the game is anti social or it’s you op…
Am I the only one who’s annoyed each time I group ? For a multiplayer game I found very annoying each time :
- people don’t see the group is full
- people don’t receive invite pop up
- people receive pop up but can’t enter a dungeon
- people try to join someone in dungeon but is alone
Please fix the bugs.
Then you disagree with Anet because THEY said they wanted to up warriors for pvp.
Forcing people is not the right path.
There’s something wrong if you think a game forces you to do anything and it’s not the game. If you only have 1 hour, you should review your priorities and what you like.
You want the amulet ? Only do the daily.
You don’t care about ascended and like WvW or chatting ? Don’t do the daily.
I know a lot of people who log only once or twice a week, sure they want ascended but they’re not making a drama for not being able to do the daily every day.
Guys, you’re never tired of QQ ?
I should tell my friend to make a video of his necro soloing 3 people and post it in youtube so people will go “woaaa necro op, nerf it Anet please or I QQ”
It’s balanced, warriors rock in PvE and bad in PvP. It’s ok then.
Watch this then…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Dtv--t_Rsor this…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBhPoS-cZt0weak in pvp…yeah…
That’s cool man, it reminds me of people playing “choose your class” showing on youtube and everyone believes it’s op because the guy did awesome thing.
It’s balanced, warriors rock in PvE and bad in PvP. It’s ok then.
I think lvl 100 will be for expansions when we’ll have the full map with lvl +80-100 areas.
Of course if you’re level 100 you will be downscaled when you go to the current maps.
Again with the “game’s dead”… I played in FC during Wintersday, I transferred as soon as I saw that you could go visit shatterer, no one would kill him and he could stay alive all day lol.
Ok I’m exaggerating a little but if I had stayed there I would have the impression the game’s dead when it’s kicking and alive on other servers.
Yes, if there is an option like “never accept duel” so people don’t bother you when you hate duels.
I’d really like to teach humility to some of my guildmates or to kill times when waiting for mega boss events instead of afking.
is PvP holding PvE back?
Yes and the best example was the quickness nerf.
It made sense in PvP when people have between 12k and +22k hp, the burst was OP.
It didn’t make sens in PvE when bosses clearly have +1,000k hp like in Arah and even the lvl 80-84 dungeon trash mobs could endure 1 or 2 timewarp without dying…
First two 80s I did PvE leveling/WvW. Didn’t really have a problem. It was fun and new.
Third 80 I got bored half way through and crafted.
Final two just crafted the whole way. Couldn’t bear to do it again.I’m sure once they add new zones and classes I won’t mind the PvE lvling again.
You should be grateful having several lvl 80.
You wouldn’t have much more max level char in other mmos without an extreme grind.
The only thieves that are not viable in dungeons are the berserker ones. You should know that the thieves have the lowest base health pool of the game.
If you play thief, always have two sets of gears : one for dungeon with survivability and keep the berserker for open world or pvp.
Except Orr, I’ve never seen the others meta events fail because they are soloable in the low level areas. The dragons can never fail, if they are here and nobody attacks it stay until it dies.
To me a raid would be: Anything that requires more than 1 group, to work togather, and coordinate startegy to acomplish a task. The key part of this being coordinate/work togather vs run around facerolling due to a GIGANTIC ZERG.
It would be really fun to see some more difficult events here in GW2. Honestly, can the large scale world events fail?
Heard of Grenth and Balthazar ?
Warrior for easy solo pve, the only class able to kill almost every mobs in less than 10 sec.
Gardian is not bad too, just need a little more seconds.
Thief or mesmer for solo pvp, they have the most annoying skills againts human players.
I did the same mistake than you OP, bought the sword skin instead of greatsword, and I won’t blame Anet or support for my own inattention. Wish I could exchange the skin with you lol.
For 2.5 days of 30 min farming it’s not worth the drama.

It’s refreshing to see some love thread instead of permanent hate the game threads.
