Lost Shores: couldn't attend final event due to time zone

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

It started at 4am in the morning for me, and while I could have gotten/stayed up to do it I decided not to because the Halloween “Do Not Miss!” event was a 20 second cutscene and the two previous Lost Shores events were just large amounts of unenjoyable lag in LA for no actual reward. This event turned out to be the single most rewarding thing in the game to-date, however, giving a chance at one of the top valued items in the game with a few gold in exotics guaranteed.

It could have been a repeatable event for a day or so, but that would obviously ruin the “experience” of having everyone lag about at once. All the people who used the forums to get into overflows with the event running were clearly the ones who missed out on the event itself and hoped to partake in it, as opposed to wanting to open the (most rewarding in-game) chest again, and again – as the event itself is what makes people remember it (like all the highly praised previous events)…

Need help identifying a wep

That would be the Durmand Priory greatsword, if you aren’t in the priory but have another character in it I think you could transmute its skin onto a white item and then take it from the bank on the first char.

Guardian glass cannon CRITICAL CHANCE

in Guardian

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

I’m pretty sure the crit chance from sigils of accuracy still doesn’t show up in the hero menu (but it works), you might want to check if the same thing applies to right hand strength (or w/e it’s called) by looking at crit chance before and after selecting it.

There’s also the sigil of perception if you want to maintain it’s stacks.

A lot of those killshots were also piercing to hit multiple targets, which used to be bugged and increase its damage as it pierces (as opposed to decreasing like auto attack or volley) and could still be that way.

Is the % critical damage stat rounded?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

I’m assuming they’re all whole numbers and no rounding is present; also, if you’re trying to be as efficient as possible the jewels in your trinkets are the most efficient source of crit damage.

There’s a chain of events for each one in order to take it, when you’re near the temple in question it’ll say what stage/status it’s at.

Boon duration and allies

in Players Helping Players

Serval.6458

I think he means who’s +boon duration stat is taken into account when applying boons to someone else.

Eg. You have +60% boon duration and a further +20% for might, when you apply might on someone with +30% boon duration – do they get an 80% duration increase or 30%.

Incorrect tooltip or promoting button mashing?

The axe autoattack chain is as follows (dmg stats from wiki):

Chop: Dmg – 252, Time – 0.25s, DPS – 1008
Double Chop: Dmg – 538 over 2 attacks, Time – Unlisted (but short), DPS – Unknown
Triple Chop: Dmg – 858 over 3 attacks, Time 1.5s, DPS – 572

What the crap? Why would I want to let triple chop ever finish if pressing ‘1’ again uses a much higher dps skill?

Here is a screenshot of the full chain hitting a heavy golem with a steady weapon, which seems to indicate that the 3rd part doesn’t have a higher skill damage multiplier or whatever the exact term is.

Confusion vs. 'on dodge roll' abilities

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

Is it intended for confusion to deal damage after a dodge roll if you have a trait that does something during/at the end of each roll?

This happened to me a lot in the ascent to madness dungeon on my warrior with the strength trait line’s 1st minor trait (damage nearby enemies when you dodge), where every time I dodged with confusion I’d take damage when the trait triggered (which is actually a very small amount of time after the dodge finishes).

One simple request regarding the Longbow...

Stronger Bowstrings has an unannounced benefit as well – it makes your auto-attacks have a 100% combo finisher for both arrows, Fan of Fire and Smoldering Arrow also become combo finishers.

Has anyone else noticed the massive increase of receiving falling damage while walking down slight slopes/stairs after this patch?

It is particularly noticeable with a proc-on-falling-damage trait when I walk down a hill on my warrior and lose about 1/3 of my health while making 10 explosions on the way down.

There are npcs in-game that used to let you gamble coins with them (betting on which cow will win the race/how far will this cow get launched etc.) but they’re all temporarily unavailable right now, perhaps people were actually winning with their gambling.

Where is the Experimental Rifle Merchant?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

To eleborate: the event in question involves killing chicken coops before the swarm of chickens reaches critical mass, if you complete it in time the charr in question runs up and a veteran mob spawns near them. Once that is dead they will sell the rifles, but if the chicken swarm completes then you need to kill it and then 4 veteran chickens but I don’t think that will spawn the npc in question.

I know there’s an experimental rifle you can buy from a charr after completing the undead chicken swarm event in the S of Malchor’s Leap that lets you leap forward, occasionally shoot and maybe rifle butt.

I noticed that despite not mentioning it at all in the description, that when I use this trait the fan of fire and smoldering arrow abilities become projectile finishers and the auto attack says it’s now a finisher instead of a 20% chance.

No one hear Guardians' shouts but warriors'

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

The thread is about other people hearing the shouts; I imagine it (as mentioned above) is because guardian shouts are all commands/instructions (retreat, hold the line, stand your ground & save yourselves) while warriors have more fitting ones for constant yelling.

I’ve heard that’s from the Superior Rune of the Noble 6 piece bonus (chance to summon a drakehound when hit) that you can get from CM runs, I imagine them not despawning/dying is a bug.

Does Retaliation make it so you don't take damage for the duration?

in Guardian

Posted by: Serval.6458

Serval.6458

I don’t think it reflects the damage that they do to you; instead it does x damage to them each time they hit you, and your power increases the damage they take.

Eg. A 10k thief backstab won’t return 10k back to the thief, and will instead do as much as if they hit you with anything else.

Or so I’ve heard.

Mad Mardine & Bug Content Message

Mardine lets you place bets on how far the excess cows he has (after the defense event) will go, but it would seem as if the npcs that allowed betting have had that functionality disabled.

After all the cows are launched you should have to wait a bit then be able to use the cattlepult to launch yourself to the vista.

The T2 skins are on some high-level ‘verdant’ weapons you can buy/find, some karma merchants might also sell them; T1 is low-level ‘glyphic’ things, but I doubt T3 would be available in the world.
