Guild Wars 2

I always liked the sheer simplistic uselessness of Retaliatory Subconscious.

If it also granted protection and a massive buff to retaliation damage for that duration as well it would be useful (in part due to the fact that 3 of the other 5 adept virtue traits are skill specific), but it just gives you a tiny duration retal every 30 seconds.

VodCom.6924:

If you have good suggestions on how to fix this mess, be my guest. Frankly, I’m clueless on how to improve UW combat.

The Capricorn is now an airship, it hovers there and the water is removed completely. Add a seawall of some description if need be (I don’t remember what was in the “out to sea” direction of the map) and maybe make the seabed slopes down to the middle cap point less steep.

I’ve noticed this happening consistently in large mobs of players (at world bosses), where I will plant a banner or two and stay within range, but the effect seems to be applied to the 5 closest players to the banner, ignoring my ownership of it. If I walk close enough to my banner/stand on it, it will always reapply its buff on the next tick.

I haven’t tested the effect of being grouped when amongst a zerg, but I suspect the ‘skills favour group members’ logic might start making the buffs target me specifically.

I can only assume this is unintended behavior.

Atop the mushroom of splotchy texture.

Each character will get one every anniversary of their creation, it’s possible that you looked at but didn’t accept the mail it was in (and it’s sitting in your inbox,) or your other character isn’t as old as you think.

You can use /age while on the character in question find out.

The sound it makes is not very impressive for what I can only assume is a lion’s roar.

Compare its sounds to that of the SAB warhorns.

Mo Mo.1947:

ONE:
Charr female warrior:
Banded Shoulders on my female charr seen here. Same shoulders previewed on the SAME character. The first preview is from mid January. The second preview is from today.

The first skin is part of the Guild Defender armour, which is very similar to banded, but with minor changes and a guild emblem on the chestpiece. After the change to pvp skin acquisition, you can no longer get any of the set apart from the chestpiece.

If you did already have that piece (Guild Defender Shoulderplate,) then you might/should have it in your wardrobe.

spoj.9672:

Obviously because theres no fear that lasts as long as deep freeze.

If you really wanted to, you could use 40% condi food and the 30% from Strength traits to get “Fear Me!” to 5.1 seconds at close range, and then up to 6s with runes/giver’s weapons.

Will the distance traveled increase?

This is essentially a rhetorical question, as quickness currently does reduce the distance traveled, it’s just somewhat amusing.

Any condition can only gain 100% total duration, and any amount above that is only useful to counter condition duration reductions on the target.

Vepo.4208:

anyone has the right to remove someone from a group for no reason.

That becomes less true when the players are in an instance as they progress through it, though. Kicking someone when they join isn’t innately punishable or maybe after the first fight/s, but kicking people just before the rewards of a dungeon/fractal is ‘punishable’, but apparently it doesn’t happen very often judging by specific people being known for stealing dungeon runs and the like and continuing to do so many months/a year later.

Item: Gladiator Legplates (Crafted rare heavy armour)
Race: Norn (Presumably affects all races)
Sex: Female (Presumably affects box sexes)

Issue: The item has four distinct areas to be dyed, but only 3 dye slots. This means that the colour of the fur patch on the hips is tied to the colour of the armour’s undergarments. These two sections of armour are also different materials, meaning the colour used is often significantly different on the two areas.

Pictured: If I use the same white (mithril) dye as all other fur sections, then my character is forced into highly un-immersive (and somewhat low-resolution) white underwear. If I skin a fluorescent yellow animal and wear that, then my character seems to be wearing no underwear because what appears bright yellow on the fur is much darker on the material of the undergarments. The offending dye slot is also shown.

Baffling Bulwark: Apply 1 stack of confusion every 3 seconds to nearby foes while dual-wielding shields.

Stopped where? If this is the npc for the Modniir Ulgoth, then she has to run from the camp to the Southwest and if no one kills the npcs in her way (usually some rock dogs that spawn by the road) then she will stop to fight them indefinitely.

I’m assuming you’re a warrior? I think if you pick the helmet as your starting armour, it has the same skin/appearance as one of the crafted helmets for that collection.

Holl.3109:

This is because having stage 3 adren will give 15% damage and ~400 + ~350 (signet) HP a second due to traits.

Adrenal health only heals every 3 seconds, unlike the signet’s every second.

It happens to me on the NA data centre, but that’s with 275-300 ping from the West coast of Australia, which could be a factor.

If you get immobilised mid-air, you get stuck in the falling state and can’t use anything you wouldn’t normally be able to use while falling.

Tricare.2946:

Which foods are we talking about?

Probably things like +/- 40% condi duration, when equivalent foods give +100 and +70 to a stat. The 40% is equal to putting 8 points into the relevant trait line, but the 100 stat it replaces is equivalent to 2 trait points.

Would the battle sigil have been that helpful in the first place? The long duration of its’ might isn’t taken into consideration when it gets shared and when hitting more than one mob with greatsword you’d probably cap at 25 might and start overwriting it with short duration forceful greatsword stacks.

That doesn’t help with your decision, but I concur the battle sigil should be removed.

It looks like CM heavy with a different helm.

The solution is clear: A 5v5 mode for competitiveness, and an XvX mode where instead of making npc soldiers, you can spawn in more team members to help; but they’re cheap disposable teammates with no runes, amulets or sigils.

If it’s more than a few months, what will they release living story wise between now and then?

It would be quite odd to have all the biconics and us just looking for Caithe for a few months and ignoring the departure and disappearance of the Pact’s entire air fleet, Marshal and Destiny’s Edge members.

Akikaze.1307:

You don’t lose 3 stacks of might from Sigil of Battle (unless you use another Sigil due to the nerf). You lose 1 stack of might, since the change will be 3x -> 2×. Due to that, you’ll lose 45 power/condi stat (105 vs 60) per weapon swap.

Losing 3 stacks of might comes from the 9s cooldown of the sigil with its 20s base duration, most people using it would be running Strength (or Hoelbrak) runes to increase might duration by about 50%. This would let you max out at 9 stacks from 3 swaps before your stacks started to wear off, three swaps will now/soon only give 6 stacks.

Meow something something title spoiler meow.

the krytan assassin.9235:

Even when people agree that they still think this sigil is OP, you should start thinking WHY is this sigil OP. When not running any boon duration, sigil of battle is very mediocre so wouldn’t it be wiser to nerf superior sigil of strength?

Sigil of strength requires a high crit chance and constantly hitting your target to function. Against a single target you would end up with slightly more might than a (current) battle sigil and a decent amount more against groups of enemies when you can get multiple chances at the 60% proc for each hit.

Sigil of battle having no requirement other than weapon swapping is its advantage, it should provide less might than the equivalent sigil that needs more effort to maintain.

If you’re critting a lot and fighting groups/always on your target then sigil of strength is better, if you don’t crit and hit your target enough (mostly a pvp thing) then you can have a lesser effect for less effort.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually change other “On Swap” sigils to be slightly less effective than their “On Crit/Hit” counterparts (like sigil of geomancy performing an aoe of 3 bleed stacks for 10s on a 9s cooldown while sigil of earth (which needs crits) is only 5s bleeds to a single target on a 2s cooldown.)

Darnis.4056:

I asked this yesterday :/
Anet why are you so inconsistent, I was so sure I didn’t have to log in to buy my bell because the merchants from the other festivals are still in..

I’m pretty sure the red/magnanimous bell is/was cheaper on the auction house than the total value of the sweaters needed to buy it, anyway.

You can report people for afking in places like that to get event rewards etc. I’m pretty sure botting is the correct category.

You can’t go wrong punching things with a: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zenith_Scroll_Skin

Also, if you have multiple versions of a mini that you don’t want to sell after using one for your wardrobe, hold alt when you drag them out the bank and only take one, because you can’t put them back in there.

If you don’t mean pvp then you could use sinister gear if you want to trade the toughness for more damage.

Classes survive differently, you can clear a group of trash mobs in melee with a guardian without losing aegis by reapplying blind from multiple sources and then you have some blocks ie. lots of active defenses. Those same blinds and blocks can stop key attacks from landing completely in pvp/wvw while a warrior will have to eat some of them, so they have a higher base health to compensate.

Warbanners can aoe rally, crates should aoe down.

The http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Experimental_Teleportation_Gun also creates a portal for a few seconds, but it’s created automatically at the start and end of the leap, so its applications are more limited.

It’s not that difficult of a relog jumping puzzle.

That was just a response to “All attacks in the game also work off of increments of 1/4 second so anything smaller then 50% speed boost may not even register (thats a question for a programmer)” in regards to functionality, not balance.

Every class that uses a rifle or pistol should have a forced hobosack with a belt of ammo feeding into their weapon, it’s the only way to explain the rof they have without needing to reload.

Warriors get a GM trait for a “10%” attack speed boost with an offhand weapon equipped, so unless there’s something magical about every warrior 1h auto attack then boosts that small do/can work.

Or just make it a passive elite skill that works as a player centred banner/spirit.

You can fix this by leaving the stage and rejoining it (the button for that is your elite skill.) That has worked every time I did it.

Yes, virtues are like signets. Once you activate it, the passive stops working until it comes off cooldown (or in VoJs case, you have 3 points in radiance and kill something to refresh it.)

Does the red supply dolyak still get stuck because the last group of mordrem it spawns doesn’t appear properly? If that’s the case then the lack of upgrades to the fort is something I’ve heard reduces the chances of legendaries spawning at it.

We really do need more flexible golems.

Golem+Arrow Cart+Ballista+Flame Ram in the Mystic Forge should create a blueprint for a golem with a long range ballista on one arm, flamethrower on the other and shoulder-mounted arrow carts.

The technology exists, make it happen.

I’ve seen several people say it’s from the item itself and not the skin.

I haven’t tested or seen it personally, however.

You don’t even have to jump for that bit, I just chain two dodge rolls off the platform and down the candy cane so I don’t have to wait for the snowman’s breath.

I think that the filter is part of the “Post Processing” graphics setting, and turning that off will remove it.

There are probably more ArcheAge players on the ArcheAge forums.

They have 1 skill about theft (which can be upgraded to damage, poison and incapacitate the target at the same time,) the rest are for killing things or utility. Warriors aren’t “Thrillseekers” despite gaining adrenaline being their F1 because the rest of their skills are about weapon mastery and physical prowess.
