Invulnerability doesn’t work for me. She still knocks me around like a ping pong ball despite invulnerability and stability.
Same. Tried a LOT to get this through mist form, just a whole lot of frustration. Please up date this area with post patch info as pre patch info is worthless.
Done! G/S Warrior/ Frenzy.
Use whirlwind attack as you pass the bend to scarlet and at a slight angle to her. This avoids the AOE line that she sends at you. Aim to stand at the *sharp corner* of scarlett *not* directly over her, as you will get stunned. Hit frenzy and F(also traited for 25% movement speed) Worked second time for me Hope this helps someone out there.
Many thanks to the contributes on this section and others, as well as Dulfy.

why "the hiccups" ...spoiler-ish
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Shadey Dancer.2907
On this part its so annoying, coupled with the fact you cant skip the cut scene, I have to take my head phones off! Considering the situation, ‘bottom burps’ would have been more appropriate, and funnier.

Seems to me to me the pertinent question about zerker gear is why have they let all the other types of gear become more or less redundant, with a few exceptions? Where is the useful diversity???
So how do we all rate the end of LS season 1

I thought the cutscene with I think it was Kasmeer? (I don’t really follow the lore so I wouldn’t know) and Jory was really well done.
The emotions were so realistic, and I thought it was extremely brave of Anet to show the kissing scene between the two females – simply because many gaming companies don’t dare to talk about or even show that other sexualities exist, so I really applaud Anet for that.
It’s a very rare sight to see LGBT people who I can identify with in real life (in fact in my whole entire life, I’ve only ever seen 2 gay couples while I was out and about – excluding television and movies of course), let alone as characters in MMORPG’s, so it was really nice of Anet to do that :-) It reminds me that I’m not alone in this world.
If I write a book about two women shouting each other’s name and making out for 145 pages, will you buy it? Because that’s all there was to this cutscene. Felt like one of those mainstream anime series.
Jory -> I have been hit by an explosion and now I appear dead. Such drama!
Kas -> I’m going to shout your name over and over while hiccuping instead of checking for a pulse because I’m dumber than the cast of Jersey Shore. Also, here’s a kiss.
Jory -> Well, what do you know? I’m not dead after all! That kiss woke me up and instantly cured whatever ailed me. It feels as if the writers have decided to just pull a Snow White on you guys.
So when will the guys be making out? No? Why they felt to go down this road I am not sure, but 10/10 for bravery. If the right wing press gets hold of it, hold on for a storm, corrupting morals etc etc
So how do we all rate the end of LS season 1

Pass—just —, but losing patience. If you going to write a story, cheeping out on the punch line, or in this case, total lack of, only alienates the support garnered thus far.
Scarlet Stomp is extremely annoying
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Shadey Dancer.2907
Most annoying thing about this part is—-Not being able to skip the final cut scene. First part is skipable, so can only assume the second part is deliberately not skipable. Having to exit and restart the game repeatedly just to get an achievement is not a great way to spend anyone’s time, made worse by that scene.

Thank you Gail, appreciated.
Hello,
Recently I was playing on the new WvW map Edge of the Mists, and was using a birthday booster, which had thirteen hours left on it. On using some sips of wxp,and porting it disappeared. I have been in touch with support ticket number [#408567], without any success as they could not return the remains of birthday booster, nor could they give me wxp boosters from the gem shop in return for the loss.
This is my last avenue, to check if this is the case. I am not trying to cause a drama here, just trying to find out if I can somehow get some of the booster back via mini boosters, as I am currently using a different booster.
Whatever the case, thank you, (in advance).
Regards.
On EotM (Edge of the Mists, WvW), if you have a booster, plus outmanned buff up, the WxP you get back is reduced. The outmanned buff is reducing the incoming WxP by 25%
It is pretty obvious they devs do play other games. I picked up Skyrim the other day, and the stuff borrowed is remarkable. No criticism, both great on their own merits.
Why is the red keep on WvW EotM (Edge of the Mists) so much harder to cap compared to the others? So much so, that on a team that is trying to recap it, and is outnumbered, it is practically imposable to do so without being counter attacked in the intrim.
Just because a game’s older doesn’t mean that liking it is nostalgia. It’s like saying that Deus Ex isn’t better than Invisible War and anyone that says it is just has a case of nostalgia.
It’s a sweeping generalisation that proves nothing but how YOU feel. You can’t establish everyone’s love for the game with that. Nostalgia isn’t as powerful a pull as you think.
For the ones who were not around when this came out—-‘Soon there will be order again’—Classic!

Check Dulfy, just to clarify that you are not getting mixed up with escort events, which have the same icons. Hope this helps.

I had 13 hours left on my birthday bonus. Playing on EotM WvW map, used some sips of WXP, and zoned, and noticed it had gone. Re-loging or exiting the game has no effect>>!
You spend four minutes capping a camp, get the the supervisor down to 25% HP, and without moving an inch off the spot you had carefully selected, it suddenly decides you have over agroed it, and returns to full hp. Totally ridiculous!
Spot the odd one out—
Basic Tradeable
Fine Tradeable
Masterwork Tradeable
Rare Tradeable
Exotic Tradeable
Ascended Not Tradable but you can sell the inscriptions or insignia
Legendary Tradeable
Makes perfect sense—if your Abaddon.
Just got feared whislt in Plague form (nec elite) in EotM WvW.
According to wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stability,
‘Cannot be knocked down, pushed back, launched, stunned, dazed, floated, sunk, or feared.’
’Stability is a boon that protects against control effects, including those that would otherwise interrupt, prevent movement and dodging, and disable use of most skills. Unlike a stun breaker, it does not remove effects that are already in place.
So what just happened to me should be impossible ie if Plague is up first, it would counter fear, and if fear was up before Plague, it would have been impossible to use Plague.

Sorry, perhaps I should have been a little more clear. I meant for the new maps in EotM, not the regular WvW maps. It is my understanding that the overflow maps of EotM can consist of two or more servers fighting on the same side. So how are they allocated?
Are they from the all the servers, or from a pool?
It’s not a problem with the purchased pack, is a shared problem with the Orichalcum tools too.
I’m quite new of the game (500 hours +/-) but i can say that from Marionette patch the Orichalcum can fail and give you ruined fiber, ruined log and other junk and unusefull object.
Double check you are not running stability. If you are and you get hit with crowd control effects such as knock down and stability kicks in, and your in the process of harvesting, it will give you ruined fiber/ore (I am only referring to the orri picks/ axe here—no idea whats going on with the ever lasting stuff).
On occasion, if the tower Lord is aggro out of the ring in the tower, the tower is capped and two champion lords appear—one allied, one enemy. Once the enemy Lord is defeated, the capture ring re-appears, (the ring is a minor issue).
On trying to revive, I found myself completely stuck in one spot. If it was because the guy I was trying to revive had left, iv no idea, but nothing worked. Felt very much like the ‘build siege bug’ where you are stuck in one spot.
Wow, you were not a figment of my imagination?
Seriously though, if you want to command PvE events effectively here is a few tips—
Be nice—-don’t enter into petty arguments—a commander leads, and not pushes, if you make sense in what you say, there will people willing to listen.
Preparation—Tell the people in plenty if time what the event needs to be done successfully—-and why—-people like to know why they are doing something instead of doing it blindly. Which links back into explaining before hand. This doesn’t mean you have to start a dissertation to explain every single thing though.
Orders on the fly during event—-If you have prepared your team (by that i mean anyone willing to listen) this phase should be relatively easier as you have already laid the ground work.
Caps—-only use caps when needed. People will mentally block all caps users, and in any case makes the user look like a nut case.
Preparation after the event (and before)—-post where they can get information on the event—ie YouTube and Dulfy—Don’t take it for granted that as you know these sites then everyone does.
Don’t forget your part of a team. Everyone there WANTS the event to succeed.
Of course some will come on here and say something along the lines of ‘you don’t know what your talking about blah blah blah’. However, no-one said commanding was going to be easy. Leadership is part art , part science, not bought.
And last but not least—have fun—-life is short—enjoy it! ^^

Was playing the other day and thought map chat was suspiciously free from malice. Until I realized that I had turned it off from the previous evening. It was only at that point did it occur to me how bad map chat has become. If I blocked every person who came on map chat and as an opener started with ‘expletive expletive expletive’ how did this or that happen, and the obligatory, on a failed event, noob this that or other (with plenty of expletives —-of course) it would be full.
Always seemed to me that the pay per month community was subjected to the biggest con ever. Not only did you have to pay for the disk, but had to pay per month. If those business models had charged two or three hundred bucks just for the game out of the box and said it was then free, it would never have gotten off the ground. Thankfully Anet saw through this emperors new cloths, and created a successful business model which went against the trend. So for me, 100% no to monthly subs, and if I do moan now and again, its because I love this game, if I didn’t , I wouldn’t even bother coming on forums.

After leaving sPvP, the LFG tool wont allow me to join any groups as it claims i have joined too many groups already, and to wait a short time, even tho I had not joined any PvE groups after leaving the sPvP arena.
Check your pvp locker—they are located near the bottom (assuming you had them in your inventory and pressed the icon to auto store your stuff).
Went to port in WvW this morning from one WvW way point to another, and the message came up that WvW is unavailable whist they are being re-sorted (the message you get on a Friday evening when they are being re-organized). Re-clicking it sent me there—-but kinda weird all the same.
Was just on overflow at marionette, the timer came up saying the native was free and would i like to transfer—clicked on yes and——was transferred to another overflow>>.
This may help to explain the ins and outs of the achievements, many of which I have yet to get myself.
After watching it I cant help but feel they have made the sidestepper etc unnecessarily complicated to do. Yet another straw on this camels back.
Lol!
Failing this champ has nothing to do with rangers, it is about bad players not knowing the mechanics.
And comments like those drive people wild. This is a new event, and even at day two was hearing idiotic elitist comments that if people didnt know how to kill the bosses dont do them. I am pretty sure even the most gifted player on GW2 would have had to fight the bosses at least once to figure out how to beat them by trial and error, and am certain no-one on this planet, are born all knowing!
Anyone else think they should be rewarding at least the same WxP/ XP as capping guard points? After all they take longer to cap and have a higher risk factor in fighting than guard points. All you get at the moment is the satisfaction of helping out your world.
My main concern with the latest two world events in particular the wurm event, is the amount of time it takes to develop them, balanced against their longevity. If Tequatle is any indication, it will only be temporary, in that players will move on to other things (marionette excluded as its part of a story arc). Only the dedicated few are still doing Tequatle.
Plus, why place such hard content in low level areas? Low levels are certain to die very fast. Almost feels like cruelty. In any case they are fun to do (from a level 80’s perspective) and my daily ress has never been so easy.
(edited by Shadey Dancer.2907)
Original Guild Wars players probably wouldn’t have been upset by such a non-issue.
The pain of scraping every single area without using third party help lol. But man, the satisfaction of actually completing it still stays with me ^^.
For over a year the Owl and Raccon have wandered past the Troll cave in Queensdale, hand in hand, happy in each others company, confident that each had their place in the world. The Raccoon was ambient (white) and the Owl passive (yellow).
Today friends a heinous crime has been committed the Owl is now ambient! Things will never be the same.
Glad I found this post (seriously), was feeling despondent with the whole thing.
Something was mentioned by a dev several months ago mentioning the selling of dungeon paths via the LFG tool, and the prevention of it, but very little has been mentioned since.
As long as the individuals are not using an exploit I have no problem with them at all. They have seen a legitimate way to make money, good for them.
However I do have a problem with a game design which allows solo runs to be accomplished, solely from the perspective of myself who wants the opportunity to experience the game in its entirety, and not bought, not forgetting that these dungeons are supposed to represent the hardest the game has to offer with the exception of fractals. Trying to find a group willing to do so, in comparison to the players willing to buy a path is quite frankly depressing.
Bug since launch. Nothing to see here.
And if its not brought to the attention of the great and mighty it gets forgotten about, thinking everything in the garden is rosey>>
Anyone else find this incredibly annoying? You run down an incline,( not a drop), and start losing life incrementally, on occasion so dramatically as to cause death. Iv seen this happen in towers on ramps supposedly safe, and ramps leading down from borderlands’ ruins of power.
(not bothering to report this on bugs forum as, it been there so long, it would be a fruitless exercise)
If I have gotten this wrong, just face slap me as you walk by—-I can take it!
What happened to the targeting option that prioritized champions that was introduced with much fan fair, then, when a lot of complaints came in, seemed to disappear? (Unless iv missed it someplace and if I have—-where the deuce is it?). And if it has gone, will it come back in a reformed manner where individuals can choose whether to have it, or not?
Thanks in advance.
Ranger pets. I really loved how in GW1, you were involved in the evolution of the pet. It felt like, ‘see this pet—-this pet is mine—-I made it this way’. Now it feels like just getting some fast food to go, pity really.
Watching the film Stardust the other day and suddenly occurred to me that the sky pirates of the film may have been the inspiration behind the Aetherblades. So if any dev happens to read this, was the film the inspiration ?^^.
For those not familiar with the film, they are pirates that fly around farming lightening to sell. Robert De Niro’s performance cracked me up ;p.
What this game is supposed to be about, especially for people exploring, is a sense of wonder and discovery. You even have an enticeing pop up—‘New event near by’.
Whats it does not have is, ‘New event near by, do not go there as it will annoy farmers!’.
This was my experience on at least two occasions last week, one of which resulted in myself being threatened by the farmers and reported for ressing NPC’s, even though all i wanted was to level.
I have nothing against farmers, and have done my fair share of farming on this game. What I have never, and will never do, is dictate to others that they can not participate in an event as it will effect my profit margin! They paid exactly the same for the game as myself, and deserve respect! They have exactly the same rite to every event available.
Remember, only the Skritt say ‘Dont Touch the Shiney’, ;p.
This thread was started because of a misreading of what was written.
To the people who paid, good on you and thank you for supporting the game.
To the people who have nothing better to do than post vitriolic hate on the forums, I pity you.
Most people who don’t see it as a problem either are from a server that constantly switch colors or are in a dominating server, it’s not so funny when your server is locked with certain color for months.
Iv been in that position, had to wait weeks for SM to flip, and I am sure others have been in exactly the same position.
As has already been pointed out these types of threads pop up occasionally, as people only want the easy option. Its exactly the same as the thirst slayer achievement topic that surfaces from time to time, ’ ohhh booo hooo, I dont want to press the mouse button 100, 000 times, how can i do it the easy way’—-simple answer is, you cant, work for it!
I’m not asking for an easy option, there’s just no way to “work for it”. If you think WvW is about skill or hard work you obviously never played WvW, it’s all about numbers, you cannot beat a stacked server and there’s no workaround, their EBG towers and keep will never flip unless they want you to have them (never).
I had to wait two months at 99% just to get 1 vista, I enjoyed WvW before that, but during those two months I hated every second I spent hoping that my server could get the green keep in EBG (this was during S1) – it simply cannot happen when you’re outnumbered no matter the time of the day.
Like I said in the other thread, people who play in servers that a) is always dominant in a match up or b) constantly switch colors shouldn’t have a say in this topic, you haven’t experienced real frustration, you have no idea what you’re blabbering here.
Guess not, however I have my two gifts of exploration sitting happily in my bank for over a year and you do not, Il leave it to you to guess who is the happy one and the ‘experienced’ player.
I recommend you to Google the meaning of “had”, either that or go back to school and ask for a refund.
But congrats for being in a privileged server / doing it when transfers were free, says a lot about how skillful you are.

My server has been fighting in multiple tiers (including top) since launch, and rarely was it unable to do at least something on any map.
If you want the reward, stop making excuses and go do something to get it.
I’d like to see you 1-manning a keep, too much talk here. I’d almost bet you’re from T1 or TC.
Please refrain from launching a personal attack on my integrity and making unfounded assumptions. I have been with the same server since launch, thank you for your time!
As for the discussion in general, I think many have lost sight of the fact that the Gifts of exploration are for one use only, the making of a Legendary, the highest tier of weapon available in the game.

Your probably rite. However its interesting to note they felt to put in the wording in the support section, indicating that others have been caught out as well.
This is the way I see it—
A guy who sells fruit and veg commissions you to build a wall of x size, length and width, on completion of arrangements he says ‘I will pay you 500 for completion’. You build the wall and the fruit and veg guy pays you 500 apples and pears, not in hard currency.
Is it so hard to make the wording implicitly clear, so everyone is reading off the same page?
