Guild Wars 2

This is the other half of the achievements for dragon bash. Hurry and try to get done all you can to get those wings. Time is running out on you. You have 5 days left so hop to it. You will basically get to See the final Storyline for the event as well
Dragon Effigies
Dragon Pinata
Ceremony and Acrimony.
Hard Boiled
Every Piece Matters
No More Secrets
Case Closed

Also as you will see I have my wings now. If you have done everything I have up to this point you should be sporting them around as well.
Good Luck and happy hunting.

Watch Part 1 Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJwFO3dGmIw

With proper gear distribution you can make up for the HP woes. I never really found much of a issue with my health at 13kish. A lot of players are just fine with it as well. But if that is too low for you. You can also easily try some sentinel gear and get hp to 14-15k

I was never a long in the cookie cutter band wagon. You can use whatever you like in this game and be affective. I prove that all the time got vids to prove it. The problem may not be the game it maybe the mentality of min max. I don’t think any game will ever find a way to make gamers not think like that.

Added the fix suggested in the video comments. I didn’t notice you could pick all 5 birds.

Well we border on too good atm. So I’m thinking they don’t want to tip over that scale. Or start heading the other way, which would cause omega rage here. I hope something comes soon you can theory craft old news but so long.

Part of the reason I’ve been quiet. They always say changes inc. And we get a text fix on a skill……………Yea lol.

Dragon Bash is here and the response is mixed. I however like it no it doesn’t blow me away but I do like it. And I’ll do what I need to do for those wings feel me? You can only do 8 out of the 14 achievements this week. So no wings for us this week as you need 10 for the meta. Below is what you can actually do right now. For exact locations you can check the vid.

*Zhaitasty
This achievement is one of the easiest. 250 pieces of candy needs to be consumed. Do not buy the pieces I know it’s tempting. But while taking on So Lifelike you get dragon coffers. These coffers give you plenty candy. By the time you finish that achievement you will have plenty of candy to spam.

*Color In the Sky
Like Zhaitasty you can easily get fireworks from doing So lifelike. Then spam fireworks to all get out. Bring a book it will take a long time

*Paper Dragons
Really easy just smash pinata’s in Lions Arche. You can see exactly where in the video. To make this easy I suggest using alts.

*Winners Circle
Also simple just bet on the winning Moa and hope they win. You have a 20% chance of winning. Don’t get addicted to it you can hit a bad streak of luck. You only need to win 3 times for this one. Also not shown in the video you can bid on any of the five birds not just the first two listed.

*Dragon Ball Achievement
Dragon Bash is a pvp brawl where you have 1 skill at start. You get more after you run over orbs. It’s fun as all hell and by far to me the highlight of the event. You need to attend 20 matches for the first achievement. And you need 20 wins which is not that easy. So it’s better to just get out there and enjoy it.

*So Lifelike Achiement
Quick note it’s very hard to do holo kills during the day. So group up and work with the zone rather then try and race it. This can make doing that achievement easy and enjoyable running around with other players.

*Meet the Host
Again check the video for exactly where they are. Just talk to each one I don’t think you need all 8. Because I got to the 6th person and got credit.

In all everything needed is very easy to accomplish. Only thing that will cause you some kind of headache. Is Dragon Ball pvp because teams can be downright good or downright bad. It’s very fun however and I’m currently spamming it win lose or draw. I suggest you atleast give it a try it’s the high light of the event besides the loot.

I left out the other achievements because you can’t do them. I’ll do the other half when they are all free to do.
Enjoy SS

Canach’s Event dungeons added

This week in “So We are 80 What Now?”
We have Dragon Bash Coming in a few days. This is just my thoughts on it ,and how cool some of it will be. I also touched on briefly the current state of the dragons in game. And the current state or lack there of endgame period. And give some suggestions or where we could go from here with it. So the ending thoughts are we trapped into the manifesto? Can we over come it and evolve into something better?

Oh I knew the bleeding aspect. However I’m a guardian condition damage is fail for us. So earning it as intended through the dungeons mechanics works out well. But you can have no skills at your disposal and do it.

Doesn’t really matter what you do it seems you will win. As long as you don’t faceroll into mines. I hope the queen does something besides barrel roll all the lagging players.

I just put up the Explorable dungeon as well. Both were a bit meh I was expecting a more bang out of this. I hope the queen gives us something to cheer about.

You never know what GW2 will give you next. This time around we get a solo boss with mine mechanics. It’s not hard and rather quick a bit outside the box. But something nice to do for content. Makes you show off your training skill to get a win.
I’ll post the group dungeon as well soon as it’s done encoding and uploaded. Funny thing about that is we did it with lvl 50’s
===============
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyfxXcdenko
This the Explorable offering really easy.

This was also short and to the point just like the solo offering in this patch. All you need is a group with good dps builds and a little team work. I really can’t stretch this out anymore than that. It’s really just that easy so get out there and get your loot.

A quick look on good pace karma grinding and gold grinding. Makes life easier smoother farming our daily and monthly goals. If you do it this way you could probably do the monthly with ease. And you know me I’m all about being smooth in gaming. This is about as smooth of a tactic as you can get. It’s short and to the point so enjoy.

Southsun Achievement guide added
Pvp Added
and Southsun Last Stand Added

In this installment we talk about the new things coming to Guild Wars 2 May 28th.
You can see the original Page here
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/may-28-2013/

A lot of good changes this time especially adding pvp ascended gear. I really love that one makes things more interesting. Will that stop the omg I have to grind something PVE’rs? Problably not to be honest those type of games aren’t happy unless everything is free. I like the definite focus on pvp Anet is doing now. It is showing that they care about making it hardcore and accessible. I know a lot of people are impatient but they are throwing content very quickly. So give them a chance is all I’m saying.

Also a side note they added some Consortium items that look rather cool in the shop. They allow tradeskilling anywhere in the game. Now why you would have the sudden itch to sit down in Orr and make a sword….Or even be carrying a lot of mats in the wild for no reason shrug. But if someone has a use for it power to them atleast you’ll look cool doing it.

Crab toss is funny as hell especially when you get barrel roll’d
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIs9-tg1z2g

I was a little frustrated for a bit but you get over it

I’ll post the final shell transmute when I farm up the rest of the globs. It took me 2-3 hours more to farm up the shells and flowers. Side note it’s better to use 400 mf and bring a friend to make karka farming faster. The flowers you can farm the south west part of the map for. No real way to speed that up unfortunately. If anyone knows any by all means post it

And I’m back with a Guild Wars 2 Video. Yea I know it’s been awhile but back with a vengence is in order. I did the new Southsun achievements roughly in 2 hours. I got a little bit of help along the way. But the end result is 2 back pieces one clearly going to alt Fate.The other I’m going to turn into a ascended piece.

Sclerite Karka Shell is the other piece that you can upgrade by throwing it into the mystic force with:

50 Globs of Ectoplasm
250 Karka Shells
100 Passions Flowers

The shells and flowers can easily be farmed on the island. Remember to put on that magic find gear. You can kill karka for shells and farm plants for the flowers. Globs you are on your own to figure out whatever is faster for you.

At any rate here it is enjoy and get your gear.
=========
Bonus PVP Crab Toss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIs9-tg1z2g

To say this was funny would be a understatement. Crab toss is a for fun pvp grab the flag sort of game. It’s bad enough you have other players doing ninja jobs on you. But you have barrel rolling Karka owning you as well. To win simply hold onto the crab the longest if you can.

Well I can clear one mystery on tanking in this game. While you can’t truly taunt in all my months playing I noticed one thing. If you want mobs attention do big damage and passive heal a lot. You will have ANYTHING in this games attention if you have any build doing that. In most cases I can easily tank something in certain builds. And they never go away unless I die or someone else. Is doing the same thing big damage and healing.

Best healing skill is relative solely to the person using it in what build. It’s purely situational what is better at any given time. So it really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks is better. Use what works better for you and comfortable with.

Seems like you took my base 2.0 and went a lil stronger with it. Nothing wrong with that I’m still waiting on more toys. To reinvent things a tad more.

Added Guild Wars 2: Living Story 3 “Molten Facility Raid”

I know I know I’m late I’m usually first to do the posts and the vids but it couldn’t be helped lately. Sooooo yea I’m back!!! On a alternate pc basically because mine is dead duck. But that aside we have a new dungeon/raid instance. I give it a great high five for actually being a challenge. I have been very critical of things just rolling over loot for us. But this time we won’t be disappointed by the challenge. And the characters I actually got into a bit. Rather then think get out my way I wanna kill something. That happens anyway but at least you get a slight feeling of what happen in this place.

But the attempt to have something a little grander for us to consume is noticed. Some people actually complained about that………I won’t even give them more then the dots previous. What i have noticed is the same people who complain about content. Are the very same people who say they’re bored or not challenged. Which leads me to think people just complain just to be complaining. This doesn’t help the industry because that leads to a company muting it’s player base.

Don’t be that guy whose two faced it’s not helping. And don’t be afraid to give companies credit when they do right. Just because it’s not the current in thing to do. The reason I’m saying this is because I can see this game starting to even itself out. And become good balanced in fun and atleast a little interesting. I’d hate to see that slowed by wishy washy community raging. Because it happens and it has a bad effect.

So here we are 5 days from the final patch in the Flame and Frost Trilogy. Has it lived up to everything that you wanted? So what now is the usual phrase we say a lot in gaming? Well something that has me the most excited in a long time. Is the custom arena system about to be added nice! That will allow us to go solo and finally duel. Even better are you can actually do it with a nice audience for bragging rights?

Another thing nice is the Living Story actually getting a major instance for use. I look forward to some new content I can figure out. I like being a solo artist so let’s see if I can roll this one. I’m not that keen on the back guild flags. I could give it a name but it would get me banned off the net nowadays if I said it. The Quaggan guild race might be fun. One hundred cool points to Arena Net if we DO NOT sound like Quaggan during the race.

Now while we are on the topic of new things and innovations. How do you guys feel about raiding content being in need in this game? Do you think it will work? Will you rage like a 10 year old if it happens? Will you embrace it like an adult who knows it’s sorely needed? I make a strong suggestion in the video on a solution for that.

My next grudge or rather suggestion is rather simple. For the love of god hire the Second Life community to make us proper clothes in the shop. Someone do something valid that we can have a sense of unique style. Right now the shop is lacking big time. You think something that has the potential to give the company massive money. Would be more in a better place with variety, sadly this is not the case at the moment.

My last suggestion is we need more dungeons and variety to the dungeons. No one really wants to do them anymore. And new dungeons will not stem this distaste. Unless they come out with innovations or change it up a bit. At any rate that’s all for me hope you enjoyed it. And sound off as much as you like. I’m sure plenty of issues I didn’t say are out there. These are just the immediate ones I think are easy fixes.

Added Rthy to the links enjoy

3.0 incoming finally have a reason to carry over to it

So again I log into the game to 8 bit madness. It was a quick run only one board I can see you can take on. Reminded me of a sega master system game.

One of the main problems for guardians going fulldps is this. You lose all identity basically as a guardian. And your very easily killed by anything just about. Warriors going full dps can survive a lot more. So that alone would make warriors have a 1 up on guardians pve wise.

Added the Super Adventure Series

I mean sometimes you just have to laugh at things. This time the update burned you it has got us all at one point or another. Remember when the game started the first two weeks it was constant zapping us offline. Now it’s like once a month if that, so all I can say is suck it up.

I have taken part and watched bounties. They’re not hard as some of the people are saying. You know me I’ll throw something under a bus faster then a Final Destination movie. However, right now I see people not understanding the fights and just complaining. Common sense and patience wins the bounty fights. You can zerg them to a extent but you still need to be aware of mechanics. My suggestion would be watch some videos. A lot of them are out there showing how to properly do it with minimum people.

To the guys who had people quit because they felt it was too hard….Maybe those people are not meant for challenging mmo’s. And they are just casual players to begin with. Also the OP said something about dungeon masters. 5 people in a dungeon you can zerg is far different then 15 in a open environment. A whole bunch more can go wrong you have more hidden slackers. Or plainly people who don’t know what’s going on. So again I would say hit up a guide or you tube video. Because this isn’t hard it’s almost laughable once you get it down. Just keep trying at it, and you will be like how did I fail to this?

Team work and being social carries you a long way in this game. You can achieve things easier as well as have more fun. If your a loner not so much, I mean you can get things done just far slower. The same can be said in real life. It’s better to have a team then do things on your own. So if that’s what you would constitute as learning. I guess you can learn something from this game.

Farming the Box Leisurely= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9GjucAllRw
A way to do with that isn’t cheesing. I forgot to post this I had this video up for awhile.

Even unbuffed VoR isn’t bad perhaps you’re used to another games big heal numbers.

Got moved twice this is april fools lol. Sorry mod if I knew this forum was here I would of put it here

Zone 2= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASjM8rG-P4
Zone 3= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf679WwX1WQ

Well I admit I was like this isn’t real I’m not getting trolled first thing in the morning. But then I logged into the game and got the email. I still was like yea rightkittenarena net. Then I went to Rata Sum and was like wtf this is real lol? Went inside and was shocked they went this far. I think it’s beyond awesome to have it in game Zelda/Minecraft/Mario action to break things up. Anyway as I complete the zones I’ll put it up.
At any rate it’s rather hilarious so if you haven’t gone in yet here’s what I went through. And I’m recommending you actually do it yourself it’s funny as hell. And the real joke here is that it gets harder after Zone 4. Like old school Zelda hard your like wtf lol……….

Amazing the fact it has depth on top of retro is great

Zone 2= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASjM8rG-P4
Zone 3= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf679WwX1WQ

Well I admit I was like this isn’t real I’m not getting trolled first thing in the morning. But then I logged into the game and got the email. I still was like yea rightkittenarena net.

At any rate it’s rather hilarious so if you haven’t gone in yet here’s what I went through. And I’m recommending you actually do it yourself it’s funny as hell. Wish i wasn’t so tired and on my way to work lol….I would have done more of it oh well maybe later. I’m sure many people will do this and document it.

It’s just a run down on where to get Rox’s and Braham’s story quest from. How I went about doing them and entertaining you a bit. I also touch on a bit 2 other quest for this new patch. Enjoy get out there get it down and get your karma. If you do all 4 it’s a quick easy 6000k plus karma it could be more.

I don’t think anything is wrong with sword. But scepter is trash I hate it. I understand they don’t want us to be range beast. But we shouldn’t have horrible weapons for range.

I requested both healway and the paladin thread get stickied. I was denied saying we used too much personal opinion in the threads. What i took from that is we made something different then what they originally intended for the class. Not much you can do about it they run the place. Logic doesn’t have to make sense when you’re in control.

I don’t know why he emo’d out on the popularity. He made something good that should be encouraged. I have no problem speaking to people. I get random messages all day when I play. If I have time I respond and help someone. I do notice when I’m busy people get mad at me sometimes. But it’s all good everyone is entitled to a opinion. Maybe he is just burned out and will be back. If not good luck to him it’s been fun.

Fix it to be less wall of text don’t think I can do more for it beyond that lol. Also further adding lol@WvW breaking. Some information I left out by mistake is you can buy influence for 20g. That can help out your guild if your struggling for active members. That in addition to the fixes added make a small guild viable too. Hopefully they fix wvw fast I was all set to go run amok then boom headshot disabled.

It’s unfortunate but when left to our own devices communities do their thing.

You can go either way guys will complain one side and be on the other side next post. You really can’t satisfy everyone so all companies can do is this. Stick to what they advertise any change will make the ride or die people bail. Look at the lost shores update. Just a hint of gear upgrade made people cry. Can you imagine actually putting trinity in this game now? The QQ would turn super saiyan and blow the planet up.

See this is the thing people use high HP as a crutch. You shouldn’t be allowing big hits in the first place. While that is a good thing in PVP in PVE you can easily managewith 13-14k even in high fractals. For a power base try to aim at 3k power 40% crit. If you mean my 2.0 guardian/paladin build. If you mean the 2.5 you can reach that even easier. I’m in the process of scaling back my crit down to 40% even.

For this week of “So we are 80 now”? We are smack right in front of a patch. Major changes are coming to WVW. Will that get more people playing is my only major concern. People tend to be scared of pvp like they will die in real life. I encourage pvp because it actually makes you a better pve player.

No matter how much you try as a company. You can truly emulate the randomness of a human to human fight. Everyone is different has different tendencies. Like take me for instance in pvp I dance or sway back and forth. It’s just my tactic for getting someone to react to it. Depending on what they do I do something different.

Now in pve I do the same thing but here is the funny thing. I’m used to randomness of fighting another player in pvp games. When I take on an npc it’s almost as if they are too slow now. And they almost seem predictable to me. I’m sure you guys noticed this when you play now. And you have been playing games a long time.

The reason why it’s good for you as a pve player is simple. You learn to move out of things and react to real time situations. If you notice a lot of time people who shy away from pvp also struggle with mechanics.

Next thing I’ll touch on is something I spoke on in a past video server hopping. Granted it’s fun but a problem occurs from doing it. Which has been somewhat nerfed recently but good community manners should still be executed. By that I mean when you hop just try and go to low pop servers but I don’t think it matters anymore now.

But just putting it out there for anyone annoyed with overflows. Guild quest getting love is so much needed. When I first seen the guild changes originally. I said in a video how is a small guild supposed to do this? Well it’s apparent we got heard and some love incoming to it. So get those Bounty Training Missions done.

My last thing for this week I’ll say is the living story yay or nay. I’ll give it a yayyyyy um wait minute last second nay. Here’s my reasoning why on that. We don’t actually affect anything with it. I would suggest maybe phasing the world so when you do an event or quest. You feel like you actually helped the living story.

Right now it’s just like every did some events and boom magically something new appears. To me that’s not immersion it’s a scripted event. That will happen regardless of if we show up or not. I like immersion and the feeling as a server you did something. I think that is missing from the Living Story.

Now I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I hope we do get some sense of participation in moving things. If we don’t I put it out there Arena Net immerse us into this. Right now it’s the car you want to get but it’s not fully loaded. So you want to pass on it but you really want to drive it. That’s all I got this week next week will be fun. It will be done based off of what happens tomorrow. So what’s your take on it now is as good of time as any to be seen.

added the lfg tutorial and 2012 gold video

Hmm people are sending me messages saying buying gems is bad. I didn’t say that in the video. The cost of inflation makes it harder to flip things like it used to be. That is what I was trying to say. You can still turn a profit gem flipping but you will need more elbow grease in it. Say like a 25 dollar investment can take you far. It used to be like a 15 dollar investment would go far. People with expendable cash won’t even care about this matter to be honest.

This is funny because a vast majority of people still don’t even care about conditions. Doesn’t matter if its a buff or debuff. By habit and the fact that it’s a pro thing to do. I protect people and boon without being asked. But the idea of a game is to simply have counters to everything. If something is OP it usually gets the nerf bat in the backside.
