Guild Wars 2

Ah welcome back beloved DC error! NOT “__” haven’t had this error for a couple years now. Latest patch, and now it’s constant. ANET fix your servers.

thanks! i need another toon slot to try this out lol

I mean pure Viper condi ele vs the standard zerker ele

Has anyone tried a viper condi ele build with condi traits and such? What would the numbers be like?

Has anyone tried a viper condi ele build with condi traits and such? What would the numbers be like?

Idea:

Make the HoT maps on a player driven metatimer like SW. On Auric Basin, the pylons would be done, then the challenges, then octovine, and then the timer on the chest looting could be shortened. Could also add some time in between like there is between VW and breach on SW.

Verdant Brink, Tangled Depths, and DS would all be similar with their respective metas. You still have to get map currency and map keys to open everything, and they could even lower the number chests in AB or lessen the loot to discourage the ridiculous amount of toon swapping that happens.

Yeah, I just heard in game from someone and have thought about it before. You still do have to get all the keys and aurillium for the keys, so it doesn’t make any sense that it is a problem. Best fix would be to make all the HoT maps on a player driven metatimer, meaning on Auric Basin, all the pylons would be done, then challenges, then octovine and then maybe lessen the timer on beneath the city.

Is this okay or no? Can we get a dev response?

Cheapest ascended to craft then change over would be dire or magis or whatever the cheapest exotic insignia or inscription on tp. unless you have all the mats for another one.

it should be deldrimor instead whatever metal. 5 deldrimor filligrees or whatever.

I’m always short of currencies except airship parts really and crowbars.

So I noticed that running a full map of Verdant Brink gives way more airship parts and crowbars than running a full map of Auric Basin, which gives barely any aurillium and keys. I got enough airship parts in one go to buy like 4 or 5 machined weapon collection items and more than enough crowbars. What gives?

Whatever. The maps are like SW now. Much better than grinding nonsense out.

A lot of commanders over-complicate things or think because they have a tag, there is only one way to do things.

chaos. its a six shooter.

What I was told (correct me if I’m wrong) is that you can change the stats on ascended gear with an exotic insignia/inscription of the stat set you want and I know not what else. I was just wondering if anyone knew what the cheapest ascended stat set gear is to make, since I’m just gonna change it anyway. Also what are the other items needed to affect this change?

lol this >>> Whatever the cheapest exotic insignia/inscription is on the tp. Dire, magi’s, etc. Unless you have mats, but even then crafting and selling another one and then buying a cheap one might be profit. It depends on the price of mats and what the cheapest exotic insignia/exotic inscription. Its always going to be cheaper to craft a non-HoT stat (non-oiled) and convert it over. So if you have some account bound exotics from fractals, salvage them and hope for some insignias. then use that one. otherwise use mats if you have them or buy the cheapest one off the TP.

OP wasn’t asking about speed

Then play your own playing style. Meta builds aren’t for people to just copy and paste. They need to know how to use them. Don’t worry about what other people run.

Whatever the cheapest exotic insignia/inscription is on the tp. Dire, magi’s, etc. Unless you have mats, but even then crafting and selling another one and then buying a cheap one might be profit.

So what about those pro type guilds like NA and EG? Don’t guilds like that give Anet a reason to carry on with the game.

And maybe armor/weapon set slots?

Just remember don’t make ascended weapons with HoT stats. Make whatever stats the cheapest exotic insignia/inscription is on the trading post, then change over to whatever HoT stats you want.

Honestly, there’s only two things I wish they’d change in the HoT maps:

1) getting rid of the swarms. They don’t bug me too much on my Ranger, but they freaking wreck my Ele that I’m still learning to play after power leveling. I just want to explore the world, not get face tanked by 15 pocket raptors. ESPECIALLY in VB, where waypoints are always contested and traveling across map is a joke.

2) Having a Silverwastes type setup for map metas rather than a timer. I don’t know if that’s even possible given how these metas work, but it’s worked fantastically for SW and it just confuses me why they didn’t draw from that for inspiration when planning out the new zones.

PLS ANET give us SW type meta for new maps and even for higher level tyria maps. And fix the events in VB so you can still WP.

Ah good stuff to know!

Well, we did only run this about an hour and it was pug group. We had some bad rng with blue circles, with some spawning on green circles. Usually, we had a hard time with the green circles in third phase and them spawning across from where everyone was. Gorseval is much easier imo. Did with that with another group and had like half our buff times left. Only wiped a couple times because people fell off.

Meh voice chat programs. I listen in on TS but respond in guild chat.

Can we please get different colors for each guild in guild chat

still happens all the time for me. randomly. never any one thing. never the same amount of time in between when it happens. protip always be in a party or squad if doing some event or something.

Also, guild halls are gold sinks but not as much as the new legendaries imo. but i digress.

The npcs talk too much, the cutscenes are too slow, and you can totally cheese it by skipping all the mobs and getting the npcs to warp to the next checkpoint. Only worth doing for the XP, items, collections, and mastery points.

Yes, craft a non-HoT ascended using what the cheapest exotic insignia/inscription is on the trading post. Also those account bound exotics salvage those and you might save some silver that way also.

Then change the stats in the forge to whatever HoT stats you want. Much, much cheaper.

How about just less aggro and less levels on map and non gated areas “__”

Attempted Vale Guardian with a pug group, killed the trash mobs with ease, and got to the split each time with around 6:45 left on timer. That being said, after killing the split, we always wiped one way or another on the next phase. Any tips? We never finished as people had to go after going at it after an hour or so.

It’s stupid that you can accidentally get HoT mastery points (gliding through arches, hitting random ley lines somehow, etc.) but in Tyria pretty much none of the mastery points are gimmes (nor should they be). I like the idea of having mastery points added to to Tyria in hard to reach places. PLS ANET.

Power
Vitality
Condi
Expertise

or just Power & Vitality

I’m part of 4 guilds and help fund the gh for each one in way or another. Sure, I use guilds like lfg sometimes, but I also taxi people into maps from guild. Also organize maps with guildies sometimes and do this with multiple guilds. Run guild missions, fractals, meta maps, etc. with multiple guilds. Sometimes I pug lfg also. Just depends.

Trait profiles please ANET. Like so I can switch to PS from Condi with the click of a button.

Yeah its only the same error. Usually happens at least once while being logged in. Either when zoning or busy map usually. Its happened in the middle of the story more than once “__”

So twice this has happened. Gliding and randomly in end up a different part of zone. One time at shatterer, and one time randomly in bloodtide, and in bloodtide randomly was dead and off the map. I didn’t glide to a different part, more like got teleported. At Shatterer, I was just killing aggro.

I keep getting random disconnects with error 7:11 something. What gives Anet? I’ve quit doing story because of it, since I get put back at beginning of instance.

NA SoR WvW guild recruiting! New guild! Need experienced people! Send me a message in game for invite/more info

Well so far, the graphics seem smoother and lighting is better :O

I keep getting this. Deleted the local.dat file and dump folder. Was 61mb now is 9.5mb

Well, with laurels, yes. But some of the ones with certain stats or not rings don’t just drop. They could change the laurel merchant up if they ever did do a 500 jeweler.

ANET needs to add 500 to jeweler so we can craft ascended jewelry. That is all for now.

They might also just patch those two bugs much like they patched the boxes at the Golem world boss

I’ve just started to join random groups doing 40 as one of the dailies and that seems to work instead of farming it. The fractal junk gives way too much gold, as it seems they just moved some of the dungeon gold over to fractal junk.

Bellatrixa.3546:

It’s a shame they went this direction with Ascended rings, amulets and accessories when they would fit Lv 500 Jeweller perfectly.

Yes this it what should have been done and still could be! I’m all for Level 500 Jeweler and being able make ascended jewelry. They would have to change the laurel merchant up possibly though for this.

Also means I didn’t waste the mats and gold making the Viper insignia. Will keep it until later.
