Guild Wars 2

Wishmaster.7693:

In any case, yes, if the party leader leaves the instance everyone gets out.

dungeon instance is destroyed only if party leader leaves the party or changes character

if he just go out of the dungeon for a walk, or logout ,or disconnect – then nothing happens to the instance

Dungeon etiquette:
“If you’re a party leader, leave last or ask if everyone’s done before exiting the dungeon!

Still find the most odd contested wp is the guild puzzle ones they are always contested so whats their purpose?

they are uncontested when someone is doing guild mission, and they might be used to come back to the puzzle start

Actually I think they’re contested when a guild is in there doing a mission, so no one can use the waypoint.

The reason I think it’s like this is because it prevents other guilds from easily doubling up when someone is in there, and also because the doors close after you start the puzzle, and if you use the waypoint, you’ll be locked out of it.

So under no circumstance should someone use a waypoint if they die in the puzzle, unless there’s no other option. Normally they’d have to be rezzed in the puzzle by someone already inside to continue.

i don’t think. i know guild puzzle waypoints are active when puzzle is open

just to prevent any misunderstandings – nothing closes when you start the puzzle. tho entrances to next rooms closes after some time after being opened, that’s where you may get locked out. ofc normally no one leaves allies behind, but kittinz happen

in theory its possible to gather enough people and rerun the puzzle, but in practice if you are left behind, and it’s not possible to get portaled back into puzzle, you won’t get any cookies

Basically, with Quickness, time passes faster for your character. Cooldowns finish sooner, ability animations are quicker.

In general, you will do 40-50% more damage with Quickness up than without it, regardless of your profession, build, gear, or whatnot. This isn’t a perfect statement, but is usually true.

Ya.. cooldowns are NOT faster, they are the exact same only channel times/animations are changed.

if cast time is 3 seconds, cooldown 30 sec, then normaly one can use it every 33 seconds – because cooldown starts after casting finishes

so if casted with quickness 3 seconds cast speeds up to 2 seconds, therefor total time to next cast is 32seconds

if your personal reward level is 19lvl and you do 28lvl, you will get 10-18lvl daily box, because you do not yet qualify for 20lvl daily box. so if you do lvl10 on the same day, you won’t get 10-18lvl daily box because you already got it

with 19lvl personal level you could also do 2,4,6,8 lvl fractal to get 2-8lvl daily box

if you do any even diff lvl above 19lvl you will get 10-18lvl daily chest

-

tl;dr with 19lvl you can get only 2-8lvl and 10-18lvl daily chests

Nightarch.2943:

It’s fairly standard and straight forward, a traditional method to use daggers in an upward position for ceremonies and food cutting

dagger is not butter-knife, nor it’s short sword

in open combat upward blade position is inferior to downward one, ofc it doesn’t apply to stabbing someone by surprise

upward blade position

• easy to disarm (arm can be grabbed rendering dagger useless; can be knocked out easily e.g. with a kick)
• stabs are weaker (pushing forward, lifting up, slashing with only the tip)
• more predictable (front stab, stab from below, slashing with the tip)

downward blade position

• hard to disarm (blade in the way)
• stabs are stronger (from above with body weight, full blade slashes with arm swing)
• concealed blade
• stronger grip (a lot harder to knock out, anatomy an physics involved)

not that any of that matters in fantasy settings

what is personal reward level of you character that didn’t get daily chest?(need at least lvl2) and did you complete jade maw fractal?

from what i see in the text, leads to logical conclusion that HotW(soldier) gloves were equipped, and t3(zerker) were transmuted with t2(rare) ending with t2(zerker) ^__^

curious if its possible to put item in transmutation window, and equip it while its there

from my experience, engaging first and doing most damage – especially aoe’s against group mobs – makes you #1 target, often to the point that mobs ignore other party members that are reviving someone

if its becoming a problem you can always disengage and cease attacks for a while, so that your party members can accumulate enough aggro to draw mobs away from you

also if you cannot handle whole mob groups aggro, you probably shouldn’t be the first one to burst them with aoe, even more so, if no one else in your group use aoe attacks

cannot confirm this, but i believe providing boons to allies while in mob range, also generates some aggro

i see that as initiative to stay alive, and improve

every time i die, while someone else is in combat i have time to cool down and think what i could have done better:

• i should have disengaged sooner
• i shouldn’t have engaged at all
• i should have kept my distance while evades/blocks/invulnerabilities on couldown
• i should have waited for others
• i should have changed utilities (additional stunbreaker, while skipping trash)
• i shouldn’t have dodged too early
• etc etc

Balthazar is open on TC atm

giving up on TC?

irony. even balthazar temple open on TC at the moment… and i’m just sitting here and … at work T_T

tho from my experience Jade Quarry and Blackgate are best options for temples

…if you get something from these bags a lot of times it will either just contain crafting material of a low grade (not doubloons), or a piece of blue or green level 80 gear….

that’s champion bags you are writing about.

bags that may contain silver doubloons does not contain any gear. they are dropped from normal mobs, not champions. try farming ~25lvl bandit dynamic events

get some water eles with friends to babysit npcs. problem solved

mouse wheel thingy wouldn’t work for me with instant casting. and if its not instant, then its too slow for me

Junkpile.7439:

There should be kittenhole system in LGF tool. You could put + or – in kittenhole metter so other players would know that this dude and his friends are kittenholes.

system like that might be nice, but exploitable. new players would be marked by those kitties that we want to mark

also requirements list would get additional ++++ required, on top of 9999+ ap, ping zerk and boobs picture

a t s e.9614:

A magic object that teleports you at the end boss would be fun .

magic button:

click once – get reward for the dungeon
click twice – popup ‘u win teh internet’
click three times – black hole opens, and everybody dies

you can open LFG tool, in open world section you will see server name (on which you are currently online)

• Chests, character level 20-30
• Containers dropped by level 20-30 foes
• Very small chance as a mystic forge random reward from throwing in 4 random gems
• Buying from trade post

lvl80 characters can do the latter 3

bounty hunt inside dungeon (optional boses and/or treasure chests)

there are only 2 area combos in dungeons:

area might

and

area table flip

P.S. and i totally understand OP, my warrior’s fire field and blast got delay too, and usually i launch them at the same time, so if someone casts field in the landing area before my fire field hits the ground, my blast finisher gets wasted

we have been greedy to begin with

…

…and they can read the PMs of the other players, tell if they invited a friend/guildmate after etc. as well…

i meant, if nothing was written in party chat, you won’t know what players were in party… how can you report someone if you don’t know his name? or did i miss something

NA (lookin at 500member guild)

lowest 90%: about 3475
lowest 80: about 2057
lowest 70: about 1426
lowest 60: about 1029
lowest 50: about 772
lowest 40: about 609
lowest 30: about 414
lowest 20: about 217
lowest 10: about 79
highest 0: about 62

Aberrant.6749:

I would just leave the party chat in. If A-net wants to find out who did it, they easily can. There is no reason to give the players the info on who kicked them… it would only lead to more problems between players.

As is right now you can still already put in a support ticket and say such and such happened at such and such a time and they can look up who did what btw.

you can get kicked without anything happening in party chat

when i host pug groups, often some scumbag steave sends private message asking if i wanna kick someone from party for reasons: under 80lvl and/or low AP and/or single mistake

or there could be system message, you got kicked from party by XXX and YYY

i know people who play since launch and have ~2000 ap, and still talk to me and go to dungeon with me once in a while (like once in a month or two )

also most of the friends who play daily from launch have 5000-9000 ap (i’m @ 8k as i’ve ignored some living content that i didn’t like)

when puging dungeons i see a lot lively promising guys with 500-2000 ap

so yeah those 90% are new players, then those who play rarely, then inactives and ofc “free weekend accounts”

warrior+warrior – 25might stacks, banners and empower – can tradeoff some zerker traits for healing shouts in wvw

preferably at least one with longbow for fire fields and full shouts (burst+ shouts got good trait synergy)

pros
+ high damage (if gs and/or axes involved)
+ high survivability (if gs is used as escape mechanism)
+ highest mobility (ever tried catching warrior with gs?)
+ good aoe damage (if longbow)

cons
- weak to cond spam (can be removed sacrificing some offensive traits/weapons)
- worst downed skills

useful utilities scales with your party members experience

if your party members are good, then hurray for offensive group support

but if most of your party members are too far away to get benefits, or worse – downed all the time. then you are better off transforming to maxed out self dps

also i feel like table flipping every time someone overlaps my fire fields with their kitty fields

craft and sell ascended components, they are time gated so sells good and for high price. downside, some investment required for 500lvl crafting

if you count in base stats these disparity percentages are reduced a lot

base stats: The total by level 80 is 916 in each attribute for all professions

916 + 626 = 1604 major attribute @ lvl80 in fine gear
916 + 871 = 1787 (11,41%) major attribute @lvl80 in rare gear (% increase compared to fine gear)
916 + 1003 = 1919 (19,64%) major attribute @ lvl80 in exotic gear (% increase compared to fine gear)

that makes 7,39% increase in major stats from rare to exotic

and that’s just major stat, so overall impact is even smaller

tl;dr; bunch of meaningless numbers

Honor of the Waves dungeon

http://dulfy.net/2012/08/28/guild-wars-2-karma-vendor-list/

check out these areas for your level gear:
Gendarran Fields (25-35)
Fields of Ruin (30-40)
Lornar’s Pass (25-40)

internet lag is often isp routing issue and not caused by server side. therefor not a bug
contact your isp and/or gw2 support to tracert your connection to server

don’t like arrow carts? build your own – make sure you have wvw skills invested in it

mesmer feedback works against projectiles. arrow cart attacks are not considered projectiles and that is why they are not supposed to be reflected

why would “event to take a keep aura” have to protect you anyway? never heard such nonsense

empty your mail box. you can have only 10 mails at a time, rest are queued

as you now know – you should have made separate ascended backpack and transmuted your jetpack on it.
mystic forge always destroy ingredients and create new item defined in recipe

i get only 1-79 transmutation stones from dailies on 80lvl toons for months now. can someone confirm that you can really get 80lvl transmutation crystals from dailies?

if you thought doing something useful (towards your server points) is personaly rewarding – you haven’t been paying attention

warrior’s F1 is like weapon dependant utility
GS – press F1 for perma-fury
LB – press F1 for might combo and to tag mah daily loot bagz in wvw

account name is email address. you don’t have too many of those, do you? and it should be the one in which you received password-reset mail

EDIT: actually.. if you are logged into forums you should see that email at top right

i think effective health does not mean what you think it means
what you posted is max health, and it’s irelevant in prolonged fights, hence not effective

so… to sum in up, you guys want downed state removed, only to make it easier to kill weaker players? interesting

i mean, you allready kill them 1v1, now you just wanna kill them in 1vN ;o
your desire is wrong in so many ways

boon duration and healing effectiveness depends on the source (player casting it)
if receiving player have poison, then ally will get healed for 33% less (poison condition on casting player have no effect on this)

e.g. if i have FGJ shout that has 47s might duration(depends on my boon+might duration, in this case +85%) and heals for 1200hp (depends on my healing power), then i and up to 4 nearby allies will get 47s might duration and will be healed for 1200 (800 if receiving player got poison) – therefor receivers’ boon durations and healing powers are irrelevant

in fact, defiant stacks scales with nearby players, well at least in open world events it does. so which dungeon boss have 12+ stacks? i don’t recall any having more then 5

first thought about this was – tentacles, tentacles everywhere
we will hate to see them for months to come

yeah.. something like ‘hey traveler you got 10 mails, but WAIT, there is more!’

when game first came out, dungeon tokens were soulbound. but due to a lot complains from players with multiple characters – having sepetare stacks of same tokens, they were changed to account bound

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Notes-25-September-2012

…
Dungeon Rewards
…
3) Dungeon tokens should be account bound. This will allow players to have a single character farm tokens for their other characters.

easy for database programmers – keyword ‘unique’ is self explanatory

If you defined something as UNIQUE and you have two of them, you messed up son.

add new UNIQUE field to (ring/accessory) equipped slot structure/table. when equipping – fill it with items id – if item has attribute marking it unique. otherwise leave that field null

and this is just one of possible implementations for – conditional unique constraint

sir, have my like for your attempt

last time i checked TOS – the game was not yours, you are just renting it

more like – what happened to your video card – is that ultra low settings or what?

P.S. Sea of Sorrows FTW!
