Story mode disconnections -- very frustrating

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

You don’t lose progress in Queensdale because it’s not a private instance made just for your character. It’s a persistent map. Story missions are private, temporary instances made for your character. If you can’t handle the way the game is designed, you’re more than welcome to not play, obviously; that’s completely your right to do so. But they’re not going to change how the game was made years ago for one person.

Buying ectos sounds like one of the most expensive ways to get more luck. Why not just buy greens and blues to salvage? Then you not only get extra crafting mats, but you get luck.

So, first this thread was about you not knowing how to do some vistas (and some vague comment about how GW support isn’t there). Then it turned into you wanting support for something with GW1. And now it’s become a “Don’t ban me for using a program I’m not supposed to be using”. What?

The average pug group ranges Malrona. I hadnt heard of that perdatory swiftness buff before your post. From now on I’ll look slightly differently on the people that go and melee her, even if most of them get downed pretty often. Perhaps some of them know about the buff.

I didn’t knew that too, just up until a few weeks ago.

That second video was from back when you could reflect her massive attack onto her (like what people do now with WoR and Lupi).

Are fractals too long?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

For me, they’re generally too long (due to the fact that you have a chance of getting all the long ones or at least two long ones). I’m a parent with two young kids. It’s extremely rare that I can dedicate 45+ uninterrupted minutes to a game. So, while I actually like Fractals for the most part, I just can’t dedicate myself to a group when we might get stuck with the longer fractals. Thus, I only do Fractals a couple of times a month, at the most. However, I don’t necessarily think the format should be changed just because of my limited time to dedicate.

New w/ 3 Friends... Need help on Profession

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

There really isn’t much of a Support role in GW2 (for pve). When it comes to pve, it’s “kill it before it can kill you”. I mean, everyone has at least one pretty good self-heal, and so the need for a dedicated Healer is negated 95% of the time. There is also the dodging ability, which can and should be used by all players to avoid taking high damage.

Ranged isn’t always going to be your best option, and I imagine you all will learn that as you level. It’s always good to keep a ranged weapon with you, just in case you need it, but most group fights will go better (and end faster) if everyone is doing their best DPS. And your best DPS on a warrior, for example, will never be with a longbow or a rifle.

As for what you should pick, it’s really up to you and what YOU think would be fun to play. As I said, there’s no real need for someone to strictly run Support for pve things. So, if you like having the ranged option, I’d go with an engineer. That way you have melee and ranged options (your kits will be your best damage), provide group buffs (can stack might and stack stealth, if needed, among other things), and have good mobility.

Are map completions important?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

You only need map completion to make legendaries, and legendaries aren’t required in any way. Getting 100% map completion gives you gifts of the traveler (two for each character that completes it), which you only need to make said legendaries.

And, honestly, it’s cheaper to buy your level 80 exotics with dungeon tokens, as long as you run dungeons.

Sales??????

RoseofGilead.8907

If you buy a jeans or somthing for 30€ and the next day it’s reduced to 20, you can’t get the 10€ back, thats just logical.

Its pretty common for retailers to allow this actually.

In general they do not want potential customers to hold off on spending money out of fear of missing a sale. During this holding off period the customer might change his mind about the product or find it elsewhere.

This. When I worked at a major retail clothing store, we were told that we should honor any returns done due to an item that went on sale within a certain amount of time after the purchase (usually around two days).

So yeah, it is a common thing with CERTAIN types of sales, but obviously every company has its own rules about it.

Q: Ascended Armor Question

The skin on an item doesn’t change unless you change it. So, if you just placed your Human T2 ascended gear in your bank, , switched to a medium armor sylvari, and tried to wear it, you wouldn’t be able to. You’d have to change the skin (using your human) to something that the sylvari could use.

That is for GW2 not the original GW which needs it own support board as mods just lock or delete posts about anything to due with GW.GW2 support takes forever to get a response from if dealing with GW but not GW2.

The Original is still a better game.

Guild Wars 2’s Support staff now handles GW1 support. So, you need to contact them if you’re having problems with GW1 (even if it can take some time to get a response).

And the original may be better to you. But it does help if you don’t use out-of-date info to play GW2.

Any crafting recipe can generate any item. The craft-skill backpacks, for instance are created by crafting and can have their stats chosen.

The fact of the matter is, the entire purpose of Ascended is to give people something to collect over a long period of time, so making it “efficient” would be counter-productive.

True, I forgot about the backpacks. And there are also the new leveling exotics you can craft that I think let you choose them; I’m not sure what goes into those.

And true on that second point, too.

New to MMOs, best (scholar?) class

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

Typically speaking, the “best” class for a new player would be something simple. A warrior is by far the simplest class out there. However, the “simplest” out of all of the light classes would be a necromancer, I feel. BUT a guardian is really easy to learn, provides more support for your allies, and is very useful in each of the three game modes of GW2.

A necromancer is really a lot of fun, but they get a lot of crap (especially on the forums) because we sadly don’t provide much in the way of group buffs for pve. Plus, conditions in pve (at least so far) are not balanced well; so, if a necromancer (or another condition class) sets up for conditions, their conditions can be (and often are) negated by someone else applying them first. Thus, it’s usually better to set up as something that doesn’t rely on conditions if you play as a necro. I run a Death Shroud/zerker build for pve on mine.

That being said, necros are quite good in pvp and wvw with all their conditions.

Both ele and mesmer can do great (and are often wanted) for all three game modes, I find. Out of the three light classes, ele is the hardest to master, in my opinion. But you provide a lot of group help and can do a heck of a lot of damage with the right set up. Mesmers have some great things, too.

But yeah. You have five character slots. There’s nothing stopping you from trying out all three light classes (and a guardian, or anything else) to find what fits you best.

Go guardian. Mesmer is a bit complex for a new player, and guardian is one of the easiest professions to level up with.

Not after the NPE. Guardian is pretty tricky right now until you unlocked all your class abilities (virtues).

If you want true easy-mode, go Warrior.

I just finished leveling a guardian. It’s still one of the easiest classes to level.

Did you lvl from 1 to 80 though or from 20 to 80? Because that makes a huge difference. Like I said, until you unlocked your virtues, guardian is tricky, because of your low health pool and relatively weak attacks. But after you got all 3 of your virtues, leveling a guardian is as easy as ever.

I actually did it 1-80 (was saving my 20 scrolls for other possible characters). I really didn’t miss the virtues at all. I mean, things die so quickly, AND you level really quickly (especially from 1-15) now.

Ascended Colors

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RoseofGilead.8907

RoseofGilead.8907

When it comes to crafting ascended gear, you craft the insignia/inscription with the stats you want. There are 18 stat combos to choose from for weapons (19 for armor). So, your weapon will be pre-loaded with the stats on the inscription you chose. The color of the weapon depends on the inscription chosen. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_weapon#Weapon_sets_by_attribute

As for why they haven’t changed it, it’s probably because that’s just how their crafting system works (for items not crafted IN the forge, anyway). To create a weapon, you make an inscription and the pieces needed for the weapon; then you combine them. They probably just didn’t want to change that formula when they added ascended crafting.

Unless you plan to play wvw, there’s no need for you to worry about which server you choose, since there’s the whole megaserver thing. Now, if you DO want to do wvw, it’s just really up to you and what you want from wvw. Personally, I’d avoid the megablob wvw servers (the Tier 1 servers) due to the long queue times and blobness. I’d instead opt for a top ranking server in a lower tier.

How can I do the daily things?

I can’t recall where I saw it but I think accounts with non-maxed chars aren’t given 3 choices of each daily type. What’s odd is requiring you to do 3 achievements when it gave only 1 of each type. From what I recall, accounts with non-maxed chars would be required to do only 1 or 2 achievements for daily, not sure though.

No, you still have to do three to complete a daily, even when you’re just given the option of one pve, one pvp, and one wvw. But you are given three of each game mode type after a certain period of time (in my case, it was two daily cycles).

That seems very odd. You should have been given 3 choices in PvE, 3 in WvW and 3 in PvP.

I have a brand new account and that is what I was given. Maybe the choices don’t happen on the first day, though (I can’t remember what choices I had the very first day). How old is your account?

I have a brand new second account (made before reset yesterday), and I’ve had exactly three options for both dailies, as well. One for PvE, one for PvP, and one for WvW.

Not Getting Completionist Rewards

There isn’t a reward chest for finishing Daily Completionist, so there won’t be a “wiggly corner chest”. There is no tangible reward. You only get 10 AP.

As for your completion thing, are you absolutely certain you actually got every POI, vista, and waypoint? Because if you didn’t get the reward (some experience and a transmutation charge), you probably are just overlooking something. Triple check it. If you still can’t see what you missed, you could post a screenshot of your map of the city here, so we could see if there’s something we can suggest.

Old accounts (ones made before the NPE was put in) don’t have the restrictions that new accounts do. New accounts can’t click on the PvP or WvW buttons until around level 20 (unless they go to LA and go inside Heart of the MIsts and WvW that way). New accounts don’t see POIs and such until a certain level (but old accounts will still see them from the beginning). New accounts can’t dye their armor until level 6. New accounts can’t interact with skillpoints themselves until level 13 (but if it’s a fighting skill challenge, they can join in the fight if someone else starts it first).

So yup, things require certain levels for new accounts.
