This might give an idea. I hid the things I had to do beforehand to get it to work, but I’m sure others may have figured this out by now.

Maybe not, but Scarlet would probably use her Tardis in order to bring the One Ring to Alderaan to confer with her underling: Capt Picard. With this mighty power in hand, she pilots the Enterprise-SCARLET-D into the very mouth of Hell to steal Queen Tahkisis hold over the land of Death. This renders her immune to Abaddons skills and he promptly is banished back to Narnia, which is a special built closet-prison she made with the help of her trusted lieutenant, Iron Man.

LoL! Well that was a waste of time. What kitten is this?
Next patch I wouldn’t be surprised if the Login button had vanished.

I just ran my first ever lvl 48 on an invite. My Personal level is 37 though. Came out 3 hours later with one rare and one exotic and the usual 4 T6 bloods (Uncategorised), etc. made in the end about 40s over the 3 hours.

Now it was fun, to be sure, and I know I’d still do it again if the same scenario was presented to me, but surely they need to look at revamping the reward system.

All skills instantly fire off as soon as their cooldown expires.

I noticed on my guardian I can cast Wall of Reflection. But, after casting it if I change my trait to Consecration Master right away (or vice versa), I can re-cast a new wall as a ground targeted wall straight away. Leaving me with a WoR in front of me, and a 2nd WoR wherever I want as well..

At first I thought you can’t do it in combat so it can’t really be exploited as I can see and is just a bug. So I submitted a bug report on the matter, just to be sure. However I just realised, what if it isn’t? Are there two “wall skills” and swapping traits effectively gives you the new WoR skill? If so it might work on all other classes as well. Except I don’t have any other classes really to test only having an Engi and Guard.

Can someone do some tests perhaps? Someone with more intimate knowledge of the game mechanics and how they work (because I certainly confess I do not). It’s entirely possible it’s supposed to work like that I suppose, but could lead to interesting ambush set ups for mobs and so on.

Hi there,
I can’t really say this is an exploit but more of a bug so I’ll put it in here (I can’t see a way of this being in any way useful as it only works out of combat)

Anyway, I noticed on my guardian I can cast Wall of Reflection. But, after casting it if I change my trait to Consecration Master right away, I can re-cast a new wall as a ground targeted wall straight away. Because you can’t do this obviously if you are in combat it seems pointless, but thought you should know.

Cheers!

Maybe they’re fixing Dredge so the cage spins, the Bombs have 5 second timers and the Ice Ele at the end doesn’t AoE Agony. Instead, every 5 seconds he drops spinning cage bombs filled with Dredge mobs…

Quick! Take a screenshot so you can prove to all the internets you got your skin before the patch!

I agree with you guys completely, first dungeons now this. I leveled multiple characters to get rewards more than once a day. They are now nerfing the rewards and destroying all my hard work. Thanks alot ANet. >.<

Little confused. So, are you saying that you spent ages leveling your alts, and now you wont be able to take your alts out on the same fractals? Or are you unhappy that others may be able to play without having to put in the same ‘work’ you did?

If it is the latter, then (and this is an assumption, certainly) it seems your happiness with the current system is derived only from being able to tell others you have something they don’t, rather than having happiness derive from your own work.

You can still take out your alts, do the same thing you’ve always done (apart from the level 30 downgrade which is another matter and across the board) with them. Just others will be able to join you. Why does their ascension have to take away from your gaming fun?

I have the mask. But I think I’ll still stay in the Tower for a bit. It’s a fun place to be when you have no time pressure to finish achievements.

I normally sit near the end of level 3 and dash in to help people if they seem to get near the end but are having difficulty or go down right near the end. I think people who finish and rush back to champ-farms or whatever miss out on just soaking up the ambience of a well made area. Take the time to maybe get some screenshots and just have some fun helping others up.

I like it. But it isn’t something I can see myself doing. Scarlet is boring. I could spit out the window at work and hit a better villain. LS, I think you can be skipped til you find a more intriguing adversary.

However, the combination of PvE and Dungeon is pretty darn good. Just not good if you hit an Overflow and can’t get up. Sure, some people can because of either class, specs, skills or all 3; but for an ‘average’ player I don’t think so.

This LS is better waited out on the sidelines if you need a breather.
And, kitten , please someone kill Scarlett. Just sounds like a demented 9y.o. on a train, trying to be Maleficent and failing very, very badly. :P

MatthewMedina.5419:

…If you look carefully you can see that it does go from night to day, but it might be subtle enough to be missed.

This made me laugh. Not sure if subtle ribbing or not, but just… think about it.

+1

Edit: I should note: laugh in a good way, not a sarcastic way.

Gamarien when not in Giant Wurm instance at the camp: “It even been affecting the animals here.”

Pedantic, yes. But the small things are also important.

I searched for “Banner” but nothing came up.

When you put down a banner if you press the action key (normally “F”) to pick it up, but go to move away from it straight away, it bugs and stops you using all your skills until you relog.

I’ve tested this and it happens frequently. Has this been covered before?

The first time you get Mad kings gloves. They are nothing special in appearance though… (I preview the medium ones)

The second time I got 20 mumbo jumbo for ascended crafting. I don’t plan on changing my Leatherworking or Jwelcrafting anytime soon, so I’ve stacked a ton of those.

I think these are fair rewards. Once you do the puzzle one or two times, the rest of the time you’ll be succeeding 1/3 attempts, so they shouldn’t just hand over free rewards for those who mastered it. Same goes for all JP!

I do express however my displease about most of the medium armor in the game. It’s usually the worst looking of the 3 and that trench-coat style has been overused.

No they are not fair rewards.

Both are useless garbage to me.

Anet should’ve never messed with any of this content, it was perfect last year.

I could play with friends, I could repeat it and get a nice amount of ToT bags, now I get garbage.

It’s not worth touching this year and that makes me sad.

Explain to me why people afk autoattacking champions should get the best rewards in the game, but someone who enjoys doing jumping puzzles gets jack squat.

Well, the ToT should be coming back because they already said no rewards at all was a bug in the posts above.

But for rewards themselves, I’m ok with just ToT bags but I think there should be a small/tiny/whatever chance of something a little shinier. Like at least an Exotic/Rare bag or box of some description.

Once you’ve run it a few times, a lot of it just comes down to muscle memory. I can normally (beer/wine dependent) get to the top I would say 3 out of 4 times. And considering this includes grabbing 2 out of three chests on the way up if they’re reset, it can be viable.

I run it because I love JPs and this one is simply fun to do. I also admittedly have a small mad chuckle myself when I see a blue wisp over/under jump a particular spot because I remember when it took me 2 hours last year to master.

I only recently got a Mes to 80. However, in a group and throwing Time Warp down seems like they get selected rather quickly to do this exact thing.

Also, no-one complained when it was found that Mesmer Phantasms were really really helpful in beating Liadri. :P

However you look at the thing, just join a group. Plenty going and it’ll be easier.

The chests on the way up still give rewards though. That’s something to do it for. That and the thrill.

I finished for the 20 Emp fragments, but next run got nothing… tried again. Nothing.

Just wondering if the Clocktower now gives nothing after the first run daily?

Pfft I don’t think I’ll bother. It’s ridiculous. ANet couldnt organise a mechanic in a grease-pit. Lazy design is lazy design.

Liadri was awesome, if a bit stale after a few goes, but was fun to do because your skills still worked. Here, they don’t.

They try pushing out content too fast. Sometimes, trying too hard to please is just irritating. I finally managed to get everything for Quip last weekend, and was really excited. But it was more a feeling like winning $100 at the end of a night losing $10000 at a casino. Might craft it, might not.

Could also be this content, as crap as I think it is, is just not for me and I should wait for Halloween? Possibly. We’ll see in a month.

A knockdown that cant be stopped with Involn, stability or a stun break?

You mean the final boss when you fail to take its invulnerability down before it reaches 30 stacks of that buff that empowers him? If so, Stability DOES work, Stun Breakers work too, but not very well because it’s about three or four knockbacks in a row.

Yep, that one. The one that doesn’t work.
Edit: hang on – you do realise “Stand your Ground” is a stun break and stability, yes? So if you use it anywhere in the combo it should keep you upright.

I have loved almost every dungeon I have encountered. Even loved the Gauntlet. But this is a kitten waste of time. Really?? really??? A knockdown that cant be stopped with Involn, stability or a stun break?

ANet finally grabbed the kitten-cake and took a big bite. That is just ridiculous.

Hecatonchir.9326:

How far off is QLD from EST?

About 3 weeks. =P

J/K, from Melb. I hear ya, it’s hard to find. I’m in JQ main server right now and it’s empty

I’m hoping for an updated Clocktower!

JQ downed him twice yesterday at about 2pm AEST. 2nd time we had a min to spare or something.

Busted! Try using Turnitin before posting perhaps? :P

Another Burnfall classic.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

Dear Anet dev, why is supporting in GW2 as inefficient as it is at the moment? Some professions have support-build-options but healing power scales very poorly.

Dear Marcus,

Thank you for your question and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to respond to you.

As a design analyst and all-round nice guy, I have looked into this exact issue. My investigation has shown that, whilst increasing the Healing Power scaling would be beneficial to the game as a whole, the nest-egg I have placed in Dettol shares would increasingly drop in value as a result.

So, although we have logged your concern and passed it to the relevant department for internal review, unfortunately we will not be increasing Healing Power Scaling at this time.

Thank you once again for your feedback and please continue to enjoy the cuts, scrapes, abrasions Tyria offers and remember to look in aisle 9 for Dettol as required.

Your programmatical servant
– Scoundrel

Dear A-Net,

Why is the Fixer-Upper not able to be used by Engineers?

I love that he got most of the the way through the professions spelling them in full (Warrior, Elementalist, etc), then was like: ahhh stuff it. Mes and Nec. :P

On topic: Liking the Engi changes. Looking forward to the patch.

Can you please move the ‘Remember Password’ checkbox a little further away from the Log In button?

Seriously guys they’ve been saying there would be a gear treadmill since October 2012.
If you wanted to quit over gear treamills policy you shouldn’t be here to begin with.

They said, explicitly, the only grinding in this game would be for cosmetic items.

“Here’s what we believe: If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game. Otherwise, your MMO becomes all about grinding to get the best gear. We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.”

- Mike O’Brien, President of Arenanet

Does the addition of ascended weapons fall in line with what was said by Mike O’Brien?

You can quote that all you like, but they said that Ascended gear would be introduced more recently than that quote:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/linsey-murdock-unveils-new-high-end-ascended-gear/

Since we knew these were going to be coming out, why stick around if you didn’t agree with it?

I am fine with the current content. I just wanted to point out: What’s difference with them lying earlier, rather than more recent?

(This is objective, I really don’t give a toss as I love the game from launch and still have fun :P)

Well played….

I thought the LS was supposed to run alongside, yet not interact with, the main story? Otherwise a new Sylvari player, for example, might not have a home.

I may be wrong, sure, but I think we all need to remember the LS needs to not intersect with the main story too much to either give spoilers or spoil it for newbies.

Sometimes, I wish the word “Subjective” was actually 15 characters long…

You mean, like your own experience(s) with this achievement?

Yep. Except I didn’t jump on forums and use my subjective experience to tell everyone how bad it was and using words like “Shift the problem on us”, and “we’re not stupid”, in an attempt to place a dissatisfaction perception on the whole player base.

Sometimes, I wish the word “Subjective” was actually 15 characters long…

Ah, if you can finish the Vorrp stuff, if, then you should be able to finish. Maybe check tomorrow as well? The Daily changes, for example tomorrow it may be “Take a balloon ride to Div Reach”, in which case it’s easy to get.

Try completing the Daily Jubilee? For example todays is Gauntlet Challenge. So go kill a Gauntlet Boss and tell us how you go. Should add the last one.

I believe you have to have helped destroy at least one Clockwork Champ in each of them. That could be wrong, but it’s something I thought I read in the forums here somewhere.

The screenshot would show: it’s a Pact Shotgun, but I transmuted the look of the SHA onto it and got the following:

This is a SHA and looks like it when I wield it. Just not here. Just an FYI really.

If you see it come up, can you quickly Guest over to JQ? I just did it there now and it counted.

I would’ve been pretty peeved if it had not had counted so if it happens in TF again, try coming to JQ. All the best with it though, try to keep your keyboard outta the monitor in the meantime, even though it feels it belongs there.

Cheers

I think Soldier Runes also cleanse with Shouts without traiting for it yes?

Well, it may be useless if you have no fun doing it. I still find it useful.

I’ve just got my Guard to 80 and I am not good at builds, I more use trial and error. :P

But at t moment I run a GS/ScepFocus with full CoF Gear with Runes of the Dolyak on each.

I think trail and error is a good way to come up with builds. It helps you understand where your strengths and weaknesses are and lets you pick traits and gear that complement your playstyle. The tradeoff is that you have to spend a fair amount of time fiddling with your build before you can really get moving.

I’m on my phone right now and can’t look up gear. What attributes do CoF gear and Runes of the Dolyak have?

The armour has Power/Prec/Crit whilst the Dolyak Sup Rune gives: Vit/Tough and if you have all 6 gives constant health regen.

Edit for furth info: I run a Shout build 0/5/30/30/5, although this sometimes changes slightly based on circumstance.

I’ve just got my Guard to 80 and I am not good at builds, I more use trial and error. :P

But at t moment I run a GS/ScepFocus with full CoF Gear with Runes of the Dolyak on each.

I’m starting to think it’s a bit like I.T gear. At the moment, I don’t buy new stuff because I think “if I just save a bit more, then I can have the newer thing and it wont make my old thing obsolete”. Except, this makes me never get the new thing.

As a result, I have 270 laurels and growing sense of unease about my ability to commit to a course of action. :P

Stopped mid-invasion and me and the missus decided to take a holiday.

More Info: I transmuted SHA onto Pact Shotgun. The Preview comes up as Aziquotl

I love: “inflicting irony”. XD
