Guild Wars 2

try entering friends account name instead of character name. character names sometimes don’t work in cases like WvW or EU – US mail.

No. just because i can say so

yes you can. and you can get precursors that way. have got shield ‘the chosen’ that way – from 4x ac exo shields

1) depends if you know what stats/looks you want. if you don’t know yet, then it doesn’t matter. if you do know, then you don’t really have a choice.
2) nothing good. unless you have way too much karma.
3) ‘free’ ascended rings, backpack; 20slot bags; core and lodestone drops now and then from boxes.

whatever you want to. if you tried all the different activities you should know which ones makes you happy, so do more of them. if you haven’t tried everything yet, then go ahead and have fun. P.S. you don’t need to wait till you have ‘good’ armor and weapon.

mesmer is better tank then those 2. both from survivability and control perspective.

typical situation 1:
melee boss chasing some poor soul in party – main hand sword (3) (3) target rooted and you are in melee range. boss gets mad and as he can reach only you (and maybe others in melee range) he unleashes his wrath on you. main hand sword (2) tro lo lo invincible

typical situation 2:
ranged boss downed someone in your party and continues shooting at him/her – blink near poor soul, revive (activates medic’s feedback), when feedback over – place temporal curtain near body to reflect even more attacks, when its over – feedback on boss, when that over revive again for new medics feedback. if by this point party member is not revived, then something is very wrong with your party.

clones to distract some attacks

ethereal fields (useful for chaos armor)

heck even stealth for emergencies

and timewarp on top of that. you mad?

no they wouldn’t. just the dungeon path selling market would prosper.

did you deposit them into collectables?

i like this change. makes my medics feedback trait more useful (: no need to revert changes in my opinion.

…There are even people asking for an option to see other players achievement points…

you mean to say, they cannot see achievement points in party, friend list and guild for some reason? or you meant achievement points distribution?

define easy. ~4 months for semi-hardcores. less for harcore players. more for casuals.

yesterday: i have evaded towards asura few times when projectiles wekitteneging me and didn’t get agony.

maybe you had that weird dodge bug, when evade failed to work?

uhm. i don’t think its fair to compare coe to cof3/arah4 paths. because even if you have terribad group in coe you can solo the alpha and carry your group. therefore you have a chance even if you have couple bad players in group.
in cof3/arah4 if you have 2 players in group. you don’t stand a chance.

and by bad i don’t mean new players. i mean players who lack skills and ability to improve them.

I don’t know anyone who can solo the destroyer crab in the “front door” path of CoE. Just saying. And no one could possibly solo the mutant destroyer, since you need 3 people on guns. lol

“solo the alpha” sir. yeah you need some teamwork for coe3 destroyer.
crab.. what about him? tbh i could never understand what people find wrong with him. we always kill him when helping someone to do coe3. never had any difficulty with him

uhm. i don’t think its fair to compare coe to cof3/arah4 paths. because even if you have terribad group in coe you can solo the alpha and carry your group. therefore you have a chance even if you have couple bad players in group.

no. official posts stated that multi boxing is ok. as long as one does not use any automation tools to play them all at the same time.

@ Rocklin.4106 “…emulates multiple systems and copy each mouse/keyboard/whatever input to each emulated system…”
imho this falls under “Does this program allow someone to play faster, better, longer, or more accurately than someone who doesn’t use it?”

it’s not hard to find people for those paths, because a lot of people want those paths for dungeon master title. unfortunately most of those people are dead weight, and what’s worse, they don’t even realize that. and if you try to explain them that they are doing something wrong or they are not prepared, they take it as an insult.

and as toxyn wrote, weekend is the best time to search players for those paths.

well you don’t need to multibox to troll others in events… e.g. with engineer’s flamefrower’s (2) skill you can one-shot group of mobs, before others can touch them. (in low level areas)

trust me. i’m engineer (:

those 2 places you mentioned (p1 burrows, and p2 cannon defend) were allways hard for inexperienced players.

if you read the notes, now downscaling works differently – meaning 80lvl guys downscaled to 35lvl are weaker. that’s why you notice difference in AC dungeon which has highest downscaling.

well that aside. as a designated tank for p1 burrows and p2 bait part, i haven’t felt much difference. i’m sword+focus/staff mesmer in knight gear. worst case scenario in my ac runs that can happen @ p1 burrows is – those 4 pugs die tackling burrows, and i have to let hodgins die to reset.

if your ‘tank’ is dying @ p1 burrows then… your ‘tank’ is bad and you should feel bad

they can still be dodge towards asura… because they are ‘homing projectiles’ it’s a lot harder to time ‘side’ or ‘away’ from asura dodge.

or just go the easy way and use zilion of reflection skills ;o

AoE Targeting circle? you mean to say.. you don’t use smartcast?! (a.k.a. “Fast Casting Ground Targeting” )

well uhm.. are you sure you did enough damage to the champion to get the loot? because it is very hard to do enough damage solo to get loot.

it’s a lot easier if you are in group. then if you hit at least once, and group does enough damage to qualify for loot, you get it too.

tl;dr – you need to do a lot more damage to get loot from event champ, than damage you need to get ‘gold’ event completion.

in my opinion you had no reason to play this game at all. curious what are you doing here?

not sure what you failed to understand.
you know how boons icons look like right? and you know you can remove them (boons).

that passive buff while veteran is alive cannot be removed, because it is not boon (icon is different from boons).

P.S. english is not my native. so it is hard to comprehend your english slang

buff, but not a boon. happy?

because it is crowd control effect. removable only with stunbreakers

why is this in bug section? :o

It might be natural, but this is a game. It’s supposed to make fun.
Is it fun to get less when you ask your friends/ guild to help you?
If you want to do everything solo, why do you play an MMORPG?
Play a single-player game if you want to, don’t try to ruin the fun for everyone else.

Its not fun. You dont know what fun is, you think if everyone gets everything itll all be fun, its not. The fun comes from having more than someone else. Wether you know it or not, thats whats going on if you were honest about it. Obviously you dont know whats going on if you think everyone having everything is going to be fun for everyone.

you cannot tell others what is and is not fun for them.

if fun for you is being scrooge. then have fun with it. just don’t expect everyone else find fun in that.

well gold is not hard to get either. for me it took longer to get karma. not fan of DE’s

1 how many you want. tho there is bonus(+40) for first run for each path with every character. also there is diminishing returns if you complete more then 4 paths in 2 hours.

2 account bound

hello. this is 2013. come back in decade or more, when computers and software has advanced a bit.

3/4 of tier IV
there are 5 tiers… so everything is fine

yes you can start laughing now

because your mesmer’s reward level is 1

you are aware that ‘best looking’ is matter of taste and preference?

it’s ugly for me. (norn female mesmer)

at lvl6 if your group chooses lvl5 difficulty, then you will not advance to lvl7

tl;dr – NO

market manipfailers at their best. price back to normal

Quick Mouse.7635:

So, a glass cannon ele with 916 vit and 916 toughness? You get one-shot by trash mobs.

Then don’t get hit.

or change to zerker only for simin

my indiscriminate slayer achievement speaks for itself how much i admire gw2 world and its inhabitants.
and the world is indeed beautiful place if you have the time to notice

so you are telling me, those ‘heavy’ melee that i revive all the time with my melee ‘light’ are somehow better for the group? akward

enter ‘combo’ in search inside this thread. number of results tells how useful it is. imho if you are not using combos, you are playing different game.

run into group of low lvl agresive mobs. spam dodge. done

love dredge bagz. never used wheel and never had any problem with Rabsovich, geting downed is not rly a problem when you are not alone. don’t get what’s your problem.

tho i have problem with you if it was ‘hard’ for you while exploiting.

get this a lot. usually while swapping weapons when some dungeon cut scene starts.

nerds talking that its CPU intensive, due to poor game optimization , especially in wvw.

and btw i wouldn’t get fractal-only bags like someone above hinted. because then i’d lose ‘seperate greens from other junk’ option. which i love now, as fractal bags make green/rare items grouped (as long as there are empty slots in the ‘regular’ bags above). then i can mindlessly spam salvage on everything in a row, knowing there are only blues and whites. aw yeah, and i got seperate bag for upgrade components, so that they dont get in the way either.

Wait I think I almost missed something. What bag allows me to seperate my green and higher items from my blue and white items?

fractal bags. (150-green, 200-rare, 250-exotic)

my point was if you get all bags as cheapest fractal bag (150relic) they all will prefer to store green items, and because you dont have any other bags (well except starter one) those ‘green’ bags will get filled with other stuff, hence losing purpose to store ‘green’ only items.

i have some regular bags at top, for with blue and junk (well exos go there too, but tjhey are once in a blue moon) then fractal bags for greens and yellows, then bag for upgrade components, and finally couple invisible bags.

this makes dealing with looted items easy. as all the blue/white ones end in same place. comfortable to salvage.

dungeon daily bonus resets with dailies
dungeon DR does not reset with dailies

why do people still confuse +40 daily bonus, with DR…

indeed. i have failed miserably. its 14

Czinczar.3786:

the dredge fractal : “wheel?”
AC : “stairs?”
CoE : “skip first alpha?” “lets do all 3 paths in 1 run” “stand here, no pets, no illusions”
CM : “come here guys i’ll show you something!”

What does it take for a hotfix? How much time does it take to place a rock in that CM spot for example ?

fixed that for ya

yes they are.
unfortunately ele is one of the classes that is harder to master. and if you don’t have understanding about gw2 combo mechanics, or ele’s attunement rotation, then you are going to have a bad time.

P.S. as a mesmer i don’t feel outclassed by any other professions in dungeons.

EDIT: agree with LordByron.8369 about dps. but overall because of supporting abilities eles are viable. DPS would matter only if you join exploit runs, where you want to kill something fast w/o getting any damage back

i pay pixels to improve my pixels to contain more pixels. who cares about amount of pixels? i don’t. as long as i get shiny pixels.

and it’s luxury item. well you know the one where you say: “hey i have all my bags 20×. why you ask? because i can!”

and btw i wouldn’t get fractal-only bags like someone above hinted. because then i’d lose ‘seperate greens from other junk’ option. which i love now, as fractal bags make green/rare items grouped (as long as there are empty slots in the ‘regular’ bags above). then i can mindlessly spam salvage on everything in a row, knowing there are only blues and whites. aw yeah, and i got seperate bag for upgrade components, so that they dont get in the way either.

not a bug. some projectiles (like siege weapons) are now immune to reflects.

and why are you comparing projectile reflect and block skills? first one reflects them, latter one completely destroys them.

Guitarist.4017:

…I have never played a Thief…

Guitarist.4017:

…then stealth WITHOUT using a skill

these 2 lines sums up your thread. you don’t know how thieves skills work. and therefor you claim that they are hack. i find that ignorant and rude.
