Guild Wars 2

Had the game crash at end stage of meta events in HoT every time the last 10-14 days. I just dont bother anymore. Will wait another month to try again.

Started crashing with HoT, never ever crashed before.

Can’t beat them 3vs1. Let’s beat them AC style, 1 ac per 20 meters guys!

Seems to be prenerf content?

8.13: Mist form + heal

Just opened on Piken Square (EU)

Ferguson.2157:

It was alot, like 20 hours – and I got them from fights where the settlers and consortium fight, the ones where the enemys turn green and walk away always dropping a loot bag or box. (the crates came from the box ones)

I did spend a few hours today in the same spot and got none – so I may have burned through all my luck for the year too. Ugh.

edit: The area is the open area just north outside the palisade at “Keil’s Outpost Waypoint”.

Calculating roughly from this I would say that around 2-3 hours for 1 box is reasonable.

3 hours / box:
30 boxes * 3 hours = 90 hours.

That would be 2 weeks of work.

Ferguson.2157:

I have managed to open almost as many boxes, and I bought none of them. I did have similar results, only special thing I got was a mini.

Seriously get the boost of +200 magic find (settler) and do events. The boxes do drop!

How many hours would you say that took and what did you do during this time?

Address the result of the boxes is a way to light the issue with their drops.

So far opened 30 boxes:

33 passion flowers
300 karka shells
140 passion fruits

That was it.

You will not have any major difference in reponse with NA compared to EU from Sweden, as long as you have a good ISP.

Elementalists sort of had this for ages:

2% dmg per boon on them self.

Where is your outmanned buff?

I get tons of kills as necro and hardly die. So necro

In WAR no cap on aoe was an issue so they changed it, aoe had no limit but did spread its total damage on the targets.

10 000 damage on 5 people did 2000 each. 10 000 damage on 10 people did 1000 each.

Axe plus dagger combination can be quite nice. 5-6 attacks with axe, switch to dagger and you will pull of some nice damage.

Daimius.7128:

That’s if Magic find gear worked. Ran cursed shore for 2 hours yesterday with 3% base magic find on all my gear except my staff, superior pirate runes in 5 pieces of gear for 25% MF and 1 yellow pirate rune in the last piece for an additional 7%. All my accessories have 3% base and +3% MF on upgrades. On top of that, I kept up my Omnomberry bars the entire run. Didn’t get one yellow drop.

Wasn’t there a bug with kills from condition damage and magic find. Pretty sure I read it on forum somewhere.

Have you tried to run only the integrated graphics? Trading posts always work for me on my mba and it inly utilize integrated graphics.

@Josher:
“A few lines of code to change a %.”

Yes this would be that easy… It’s not a untyped highlevel code that flood memory like mad. Every change takes ALOT of time and testing, even changing “a few lines of code”. I can image that some of the bugg-fixes can take 40-50 hours to even produce an unstable branch.

@Shredicus.8706:

How do you win any MMO?

Who was the winner of WoW?

Rangers pet’s cant be killed in pvp. Nuff said.

barti.7685:

since a picture is worth a thousand words ill state my case in a small movie

this should answer all your questions about pet ai ^^

Hm that theif didn’t kill you very fast, they should buff theifs clearly.

“Due to many complains from theifs about sometimes not 2 shotting necros we decided to balance the game a bit”:
Death shroud now uses your normal health, this can potentially kill the necromancer.

It’s great that conditions can’t be removed. Because then a big utility for us in pvp would be lost. oh wait…

:)

if you are worried about falling from cliffs, you should roll the anti cliff class, necro. Necros are the underdog, but they can reduce falling by 50%!

Hacks in these games are quite easy to create. I will not tell how because that will probably get me banned. But the difference is what is done about them.

They are easy to create and easy to spot.

Necros are now concidered a mini as intended

Staffs for necro is now an offhand weapon only and it’s damage has been removed. This was always ment as an esthetic element.

The downed state has been rewamped. Necros will now instantly die to reflect their role play element.

Give dolyaks AI and theif skills.

I must say as underdog server (whiteside ridge) some moments where you get success due to some tactics can be very rewarding.

The only that really bothers me is that staff wells don’t trigger on downed people. It can be a nuicance to kill a mesmer that is down, specially in wvw there they render really slow after clone.

Yea I like this server. It has some dedicated commanders that do alot of work in wvw.

At the moment it’s mostly numbers that is against us.

I rather see a faster cast time than more damage. The cast time is really really long.

The only fix I say is fair is to make blind and the like more than next hit.

The best use is to use a blind well, and then pray the opponent stay long enough in it.

Warhorn is part of my strongest build.

The ability to lock out someone for 2 seconds is massive.

Death shroud fear → golem knock down → wail of doom

That is a bunch of time the opponent can’t do anything.

Syn.3459:

if its any consolation they log in dead so have to pay almost 1s40 for the way point and then more for the repair costs, so anyone doing it is pretty much brain dead considering they will also have to queue up aswell

There is no waypoint cost if you are in a town.

At least ele can stomp as mist, necros can’t stop in any situation but normal.

I had game crash first time I used trading post, never had the issue again.

All my settings are on low, except resolution. I used different resolutions with success.

This is latest macbook air 13 inches.

Perhaps try with integrated graphic card only?

Hey!

Just wanted to let people know it is possible to play this game on the macbook air 13 inches. It’s the lowest in it’s spec.

Only downside is huge wvw fights where things seem to be very very laggy, but it’s managable.

Most or all settings on lowest except resolution, which is 1600×900 or so.

Integrated intel graphic card on macbook air. Perhaps a bit laggy, but it works :p

As a Necro: grip pull down from gate, root with dagger, fear with death shroud = dead ranger. about 10-15 seconds before next ranger gets pulled down.

I love rangers as a necro :p

I like how it was in GW1, same gear, new graphics.

Made it worth getting, but didn’t change the outcome of the game.

Bring more race-specific gear!

More justify would be to ask, why our wells dont trigger on downed people. With staff you can only do staff damage to downed people…

Necromancer in EverQuest 1 had some real roleplay elements. Like using your own health as damage.

Here life force is more of a “rage bar” or “initiative bar”.

Let me trade my health (or others) for positive effects and I’d call it necromancer.

In pve you can find 200-300 in a zone.

They seem to stick them at one spot where mobs spawn. And the bot-users can throw in a level 1 in a max-level zone and level it up really fast.

Most wvw seem to be one zerg from each team. You have to find your zerg and avoid the other zerg.

Many times the zergs seems to run in circles around objetives clockwise. From time to time, one zerg catches the other zerg.

At death, you can wait and hope your zerg push the other zerg back and then you will get rezzed. If not you pick up some speed spells and run to battle.

On some maps you can upgrade keeps to have waypoints which will help a bunch.

I think necro can only remove one buff per tick, so if theif has a few other buffs, which they most likley do. It will be almost impossible to remove.

Still, the well of corruption is a 45 second cooldown, while a theif has multiple stealth positiblities. So at best this would annoy the theif and delay his 15K backstab on the necro.

I’m so leveling up a theif!

The issue is not queue, the issue is to many people want to be on the winning server. Fix one, fix both.

There are alot of servers without queues…
