No lags at all and no significant fps drops at max setting in zergs(which is still surprising me)
Emberglow and Wupwup
Please make all cities fully functional.

its all at the vigil keep now
There is no crafting stations
Not cool :| /15 quaggans
There is a MASSIVE amount of great stuff, but for me the coolest thing is a gameplay at LA!
You did a great job at adding every possible encounter in LA. If someone haven’t noticed, there are:
- Solo events
- Small group events
- Large group events
- Bosses from dungeons, that requires some tactics from small groups
- Triple kill, that requires coordination of multiple groups
Just amazing from gameplay perspective!
Come on Lion’s Arch!
I know, you don’t want to be destroyed, buuuut… >_>

Where’s that house with the library btw? o.o
And I take it that lovely Asura lady with the harp was another player?
Thanks!
This mansion is between White Crane Terrace and Western ward if you look at the map.
You can get inside only with blink ability, though
Yees! The best random encounter so far It was my first time inside this mansion, I was running around excited about beauty of this place AND SUDDENLY LITTLE ASURA IN CLOSED LOCATION LIKE THIS PLAYING HARP! That was marvellous :’)
This week is full of LA pictures/videos/stories and etc aand I want to show mine fan video!

1. You can change stats on it if it is a legendary item.
Seems like sylvari are the best generals in this game so far. Look at Traherne with his war against Zhaitan – exhaust enemy, find weak spots and etc.
And Scarlet versus LA:
Intelligence – Mai Trin
Underground – Dredges
Ground – Flame legion, Watchknights
Navy – Kraits
Air – Aetherblades
Weapons of mass destruction: The Marionette, Toxin

Your nickname fits this topic perfectly
As it stands you currently have 20 skills per weapon set. Each element being vastly different in terms of play style. You already have twice the amount that people have that can weapon swap.
The problem is that most of those skills are extremely poor or are basically reskins of the same attack. Staff, for example, is a very poor weapon in terms of using its attunements and some sets, like air, plain suck.
Sorry?
Aoe stun&Lighting field, aoe speed buff, blindness and knockback is NOT reskin or poor, they are utility skills and pretty useful
It definetely works fine.
For 2 monthes I had ~40% MF and my loot was whites mostly, some blues/greens and RARELY rare. 1-2 exotics for whole 2 monthes.
Last month I increased MF up too ~150%(with boosters) and now my loot is mostly blue/greens, up to 5 rares after game session and few exotics almost every day
…said a glasscannon zerker warrior with largest health pool in heaviest armor
You seem to forget that Zerker gear isn’t exclusive to just Warriors, in fact, some classes have to take Zerker gear just to be efficient or on par with Warriors, lowering them makes em even squishier than others. Warriors would be the least hurt by that change.
This is true, my mesmer, ele and ranger all would be slammed real hard by this.
Updating the other stats will not do much either, the content needs to be designed to deal damage differently.
The horrid mob AI was better in the betas, they “can” do it from a theoretical standpoint, the issue was that the server were not (and I assume still are not) able to handle the extra trafficActually the AI is the same from the Beta. The issue here from the beta is that your just have gotten better. The AI hasn’t changed but your skill at the game has changed.
He is talking about earlier betas, where AI design included AoE avoidance
Whining squirrel!
There is single “quest” which can be done in 5 min. They put it in Eotm only to show new location for PvE players, nothing more
Hard and not worth it?
It’s simply not true.
They are not hard, they are created for GROUP play. If you play as a group and understand obvious “tells” from monsters about their attacks it is become extremely easy and this is where problem starts, because with neat group dungeons are boring
But as a reward you get a tons of loot and tons of money. Dungeon runs are the best way to earn money, as far as I know
Not all over Tyria, only in high level zones. I’ve seen some portals in frostgorge
Bye bye LA. Soon it will become a Scarlet arch!
Hah. Probably you should change server to PvE. I’m playing on Deso and I’m always overflwed on this events, even now(Right now and it’s not prime time T_T)
Maybe your server is wvw oriented or something?
what? People from all servers fills 1 overflow, then 2 overflow, then 3rd and so on
What you described just impossible
mini-pet? I’m guessing this was on Redit, since I never saw any announcement.
Nope, you can transform yourself into this cutie with siege abilities
Please, stop trolling. It’s very stupid to post something like this in forum section, dedicated to release of new map, which full of new gameplay elements and new assets
Options – Miscellaneous – AoE loot
I we will get solid info with feb 4 patch notes. And marionette will stay in Lornar after 4 feb update, so, keep farming!
I think champions fight can be used as boss fractal, but I have no idea how to implement lanes defence. It’s designed to group of people. Siege stuff, barricades and control of enemies flow
Recently i was thinking LS is all about confronting scarlet. Is nothing else new happening in the world? Are no Asura’s creating new helpful inventions? i want some kind of peaceful, humorous sidetask to do instead of the main scarlet opposing content. Maybe we could turn Ascalon green again, or assist some crazy asura in their inventions, or jump into a charr gladitorial arena accepting new combatants. As many other forum lines suggest scarlet can get old and boring and grindy. I want something that makes the world feel like it doesn’t revolve around the current bad guy.
Emm, actually yes. I assume you want to think this way, but it’s not truth
Asura inventions – hologramme technology. SAB technology.
Human invention – watchknights technology.
Multicultural – airships technology by Inquest, airship technology by Bazaar
Scarlet – a lot of crazy stuff.
And about story – yeah, to be honest I want some calm peaceful content ;_; Like Queensdale hearts, things that doesn’t involve war. But it just hard times, I believe. I think after Scarlet war we will have some peace before dragons. I hope at least
You’re simply wrong. It’s absolutely not mindless, it’s a great base for large-scale events.
People are forced to communicate and think how they will spread forces to win this event and if we victory is ours we get good reward.
It’s not even “farm event”, you can fail it easily if commanders are really bad
I don’t want to offend anyone, but this content is not your TYPE, but as a content – it’s good, really really good.
My character is almost year old and after hitting 80 it’s became a
mannequin only. It’s great to have NOT gear progression, but what’s sad – there is no any kind of progression for characters. I love gameplay and I have one 80 level character only and I’m not bored with game in any way, except… Mannequin-side.
And it’s even not visual armor progression, because it’s pretty easy to get any armor in this game, they’re just… different.
I have no weapon skills/profession skills, no traits, no new game mechanics for my character
What I have? New skins , new minis, new tonics.
I think it’s a flaw, to be honest. If someone ask me hey how you’re doing in your gw what’s new I will tell a greeeat story about world progression, it’s just mindblowing, but my elementalist is absolutely the same
How about SAB in Rata Sum a while ago?
And for Balthazar sake, this “human political figure” trying to make a peace with charrs for a kitten long period of time, THIS “human policital figure” is a part of YOUR charr history
I’m pretty sure there will be a way to get them, like southsun crafting mats
They recognized me
You can no longer deposit in bank so the achievement will have to be altered.
It’s already altered. You need have this money in your wallet
Well, I have a suggestion! Grandmaster of Om is pretty funny
Those, who saw Arena.Net livestream knows the real cause behind Queen Gauntlet temporality… And this is… MONEY!
Divinity Reach can’t afford to keep such a cool and expensive tournament. Watchknights are pretty new and daaaamn costly.
Well, how about a petition? Money problem is the easiest to solve – WE WILL GIVE INGAME MONEY TO QUEEN JENNAH! And there is no more lore reason to destroy this place. And tbh, I don’t see any game-dev reason to do it. Colin said it will be updated in future – kitten nice, but why you don’t want just to keep this awesome place in game?
So does this mean not all classes can do it? Also it was after several weeks, we only have four weeks and we have to queue up to do it and does this fight have a 2 min time limit too?
Seems a bit unfair and unbalanced, not fairly tested either. GG
Every class beated Liadri, but only 5 testers. Stop confusing people
Well, this is a great idea since it is only one player at a time and the others have to wait, but it wont work in this game.
How am i supposed to finish this on my bunker necro? I don’t like playing zerk, so this means i wont have enough damage to kill the boss in time.
This content is only limited to zerkers, wtf? Just instance this place, allow spectators just like sPvP and remove the time… It would be so much better-
This isnt thought out Anet
Sorry mate, but you should be able to change/modify your build to beat some bosses. You can’t zerk everyone and can’t power/vitality/toughness everyone. You should use conditions primarily for some bosses, dmg spiking for other and etc
Well, it’s different of course, but actually it almost the same. I don’t understand why you don’t like it. There is 3 tiers of enemies and 3 bosses, difficulty due to different enemies and handicaps. The main difference – you choose your handicap and this is simply BETTER than random.
Please stop making those topics. It is a matter of taste. I love this new semi-heavy medium armor and I want to use some parts from light armor. Someone hates, someone likes!
WALL OF TEXT RUN AWAY FOLKS
I just noticed what you are doing guys and this is extremely good lore-wise game design!
Once upon a time Asura technologies popped out and everyone was happy to use this.
With asura deadly as hell dragons also poped out. This dragons forced us to unite, each species has donated something for dragon fight. Norn bravery and muscles, human survivability and jack-of-all-trades-ability, charr war machines, f**in’ deadliness and Tybalt, sylvari which impossible to corrupt and Trahearne, who had no choice than winning this war(Dream guidance), aand asura intellegence and technologies.
We were able to tap Zhaitan to death with single button due to number of reasons, but I will highlight some:
1) Reinforcements could arrive insanely fast thanks to Asura gates and waypoint system.
2) We decrease our losses and increase our power with asura golems and golem-suits
3) Well, we can’t kill flying beast if we can’t fly. And we got the wings! We’ve built airships together, but it would be impossible without asura.
But, but, but… I don’t think technologies should be bound to asura only. And look at last updates:
Sky pirates – hey people, look at the sky! Sky travelling isn’t only for dragon wars! Presentation of steampunk-themed technologies also!
Bazaar – hey again, look at our crystals, are crystals are amazing and… the whole new way to utilize matter of this world to get what we want. New technology. And what LA is doing after sky pirate attacks? Trying to make a deal with people who can travel in skies using brand new technology.
Queen’s Jubilee – Air balloons and developement of steampunk-themed technology.
And this new technology(Watchwork mechanisms) is represented by … human-made golems and new >PORTAL< devices. Not personal asura waypoints, but new watchwork human-made personal portal devices.
And this evolution isn’t just COOL THINGS FOR PLAYERBASE WHO LOVES STEAMPUNK AND FAST TRAVEL, this is story-driven updates. Tyria is devastated, ravaged and every life is important, we can’t use oceans and seas for travelling, but… I don’t know why, but skies are clear! We can fly. And we need to improve our air travelling ability, if we want to kill every kitten dragon in this world. And to save our lives we need to build golems, who will fight with us or cover our kitten.
I think we will improve this techs over time and we will this changes ingame. And, probably, in a distant future this tech will fight us back… Maybe some steampunk-based bio/mecha race on supercool airships… oh wait~
And a bit of speculation:
Look at new weapons and abilities- they are new-tech bounded and we need to kill the most dangerous monster(champions) to get them. I don’t think this method is QJ update only. I assume new Ascended weapon types/skills will be delivived in a similiar way – by advancing technologies.
Heys guys!
Is there any website where I can find information about “Stealthy updates”?
Like Ebonhawke overhaul, Order of whispers weapon animation, Modus scleris?
And a vote for evon means opening a gateway for a god to escape his fate, or using his magic to effect the mists as well.
You forget or don’t really know how powerful Abbadon really was.
Actually… not. FotM is recreating circumstances. Abaddon will never know it’s a fractal.
I want to sum little things up.
Thaumanova Reactor is creating spatial anomalies across the world with unpredictable chaos energy.
What is doing FotM? Almost same thing with a little exception… Time travel. Time anomalies. The Mists energy.
What will happen if we try to recreate spatial anomaly inside time anomaly?
Something real, something bad.(A pair of asura experiments blended together, what would you expect?)
And I have proof of my theory:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/cutthroat/Thaumanova-Reactor-Explosion/first
This is real and this is in our hands.
Greedy as hell, dudes.
Anet gives ability to choose next content and your answer is “SHUT UP WE WANT BOTH GIVE US BOTH WE DON’T WANT TO CHOOSE WE WANT EVERYTHING”
Thaumanova Reactor – time and space experiment.
Fractal of the Mists – time and space experiment.
What would have happened if you combine this things? If time and space “error” will occur in unstable time and space dimension?
This is much more promising and interesting than Abaddon
