More MP’s are fine, now we need a few more for Core Tyria!

^^ This, please…^^

The Ele nerf, on the other hand…

was needed.

Looking forward to trying the new stuff later tonight.

Not really. They could have adjusted the DMG without screwing around with the traits/cooldowns :p

Pretty good episode as far as I’m concerned. The Ele nerf, on the other hand… :p

Dear Anet: Please stop breaking my Ele. kthx.

No mounts for me, thanks

Awesome patch Anet! Thank you very much, mainly for giving us old fireball back!

…And maybe while on it, please do RESTORE ALL THE OTHER SPELLS!!!!

+1 I’d love to have our old Gandalfian Ele Auras back apart from that I’m really happy with the patch so far. Thank you, Anet

As happy as I am about the patch, I can’t help but feel after so much hard work and labor we’ve gone through, it’s now just being handed out to everyone on a silver platter. So much gold, gems, time spent and now it’s being given out for free. Thanks though?

I don’t understand what you think is so unfair. We got a free shared slot and we got a free level 80 booster along with some minor goodies. It’s not like they’ve given all HoT purchasers a free precursor or something. The freebies are nice, but they’re hardly game-breaking.

^ This. ^

::Waits for the inevitable post about how being given “Free” stuff is a ‘slap in the face to’ whichever group of players::

DE?

Daggers Elementalist

LOL

Well, I can’t speak for anyone else, but GW2 is definitely the best MMO for me. I’ve got a number of max level characters, but there still always seems to be something fun to do whenever I log in.

I usually don’t post in threads like this one, but the new nerfed effects really do look pretty terrible. Maybe they could just have some sort of options checkbox like they used to in City of Heroes to “suppress combat effects” or something like that?

Grind, you say?

i dont think YOU know what it means.

this game is a textbook grind.

Your post made me LOL in RL

Grind, you say?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Nothing has driven me from HoT. I’m enjoying it very much. Sorry to disappoint.

^This.

HoT is wonderful so far and well worth the price. The music, art direction, and map design are wonderful, and having the characters speak directly to further the story really adds to my sense of immersion. I enjoy the fact that the mobs are challenging for a solo player exploring and I have to say that it’s kind of exciting when another player happens along and joins the fight for a while. Also, the events I’ve done so far have all been great.

Thanks so much for your hard work on this, Devs. You’ve really turned out a top-notch expansion.

EDIT: There is one thing that would make it even more awesome – If at some point we run into Explorers Amoxtli, Savio, and Kitabu out there in the jungle

I looked for a sub-forum or official thread as well and couldn’t find one, so I didn’t bother posting any feedback.

Ecto… vendor? I think I missed something, too…

In the far west, by the Tengu gate, is an icon on your map that looks like a Glob of Ectoplasm. This icon is over the head of a Skritt merchant who will trade you a lottery bag for Ectos + coins.

Thanks!

Paddy, not Patty

Haha I’m getting it too, but I thought it was other players nearby… except there is not another soul around.

Haven’t logged in yet today, but I just thought I’d mention that I had this same issue after the last patch.

I can see the reasoning behind the change and I totally understand why some people pushed for it, but I have to say… I’m not a PVP / WVW / etc person and I lived through it. It really wasn’t all that bad completing the requirement and I even had fun in there after dipping my toes in a few times.

TBH I thought the wings were kind of drab and floppy looking, kind of like a big black raven after a rainstorm. I’m holding out for nicer ones

lordkrall.7241:

Which is most likely due to someone forgetting to change out the link from when they used the same panel for the PvP event during the Christmas holidays.

Hopefully this is the case.

lordkrall.7241:

They just added a Special Announcement tab to the UI (over dailies) that says:

Prepare for a special announcement that will permanently alter the future of Tyria.

So it is indeed quite possible that something might happen in-game to coincide with the announcement.

Clicking on it brings up some clickable text that takes you to…

I agree, this was my favorite episode yet. The encounters were fun and not too overwhelming for my squishy character and the final boss fight was a lot of fun once I found a group. Also, the secret cave setting was pretty epic IMO Great job, guys.

Taking all of the above into account, this could be the perfect time to release an expansion and gracefully back away from the “Living Story” concept from here on out.

Haha… No, unfortunately I don’t, but I’ll try and grab a screenie of the exact location when I’m in game again. Basically it happened right outside of the northern WVW-style entrance to the Indigo Caves near that big rock ledge on the left as you’re heading into the fort.

At first when he knocked me down with his charge attack I didn’t realize I was under / inside the rocks, but then I realized that I couldn’t move and that I was looking up at everything and my camera kept jiggling around. I summoned a FGS and used the whirling attack to try and break free, but the result was that I fell even deeper below the ground.

Except for being annoyed at missing the fight, it was pretty cool to see Silverwastes from this angle. I ran around and explored what I could between Indigo Cave and Blue Oasis without falling down into the empty sky until I finally TP’d back to camp.

The Legendary Mordrem Demolisher just knocked me under the geometry of the Silverwastes just north of the Indigo Caves entrance. Someone might want to plug that hole

With this update you can by Caithe’s Blossom for crests…

Oh wow, I had not even noticed that. That’s good to know

I’m having what appears to be a related issue. After running the game trouble-free since May of 2013 (and it ran fine earlier today as well), it now just freezes at the splash screen. I let it run for about 15 minutes but it stayed frozen there displaying 0 kb downloaded, never getting to the login screen. I finally had to close the application via Task Manager. Any ideas?

Update: A little while ago it just started working on its own again. No idea what it might have been, but I’m in.

I’m standing in front of it right now. It doesn’t work.

I am officially the Worst PVP’er in all of Tyria and I was able to get all my objectives in all the WvW zones in a few weeks by joining a lot of groups and doing a little bit of sneaking around on my own. Dev’s, please don’t change map completion.

The post-Scarlet Lion’s Arch music will now play on EVERY map, replacing all the Jeremy Soule music.

It’s very beautiful, but as it’s an outfit and not an armor skin I won’t be getting it

Wow, good thing I read this thread just now! I was actually going to buy this thing. Now that I know it’s an outfit and not a skin that won’t be happening.

I usually hover between 20 and 50g.

Azrael.4960:

If a player is good enough to compete in the top tier tournaments, then they deserve something that no one else has. It’s like the threads asking for the Heritage armour sets to be made available on the gem store. GW1 vets got something to reward their loyalty to the game. This should not be cheapened by making it generally available. The same principle applies to the Glorious Hero armour.

I’m probably the worlds worst PVP’er / biggest “carebear” and I totally agree with this.

I could go for this, too. My brother is the big GW1 player in our house and I’m always running to him asking “hey, did you have such-and-such a place in GW1?” and the answer will usually be something like “oh yeah, I killed some guy there”; so a little bit of history would be nice.

Drooburt… we barely knew ye…

Drooburt, of course! I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same... *sniffle*...

I enjoyed it all very much (music, new maps, missions) except for the annoying boss fight with Aerin (was that his name?)

I’m not especially fond of Taimi. She’s “too cute” for me.

Great vid! thanks for sharing it

LS2 Episode II: “We Tinker with Your Traits Again”

Hahaha awesome!

My problem isn’t the jumping skills – I actually enjoy the Aspect powers; the issue for me is the new ‘feature’ of having the skills time out on you instead of lasting for a certain number of jumps the way they used to. That is just infuriating.

Glad to see I’m not the only one having problems with it. This is quite possibly the most annoying encounter in the game to date.

Out of all my characters, my Elementalist (Bidi) is my favorite

I just logged in a little while ago. I confess that I haven’t actually played yet. Just looking at the new trait panel makes my heart sink. My ele was at 80 and now has only 14 points to spend? Really? I don’t even really want to play at all right now.

14 total skill points to spend over all those possible slots? This is part where you announce that it’s all part of the April Fool’s joke, right? Because I don’t have the time or energy in my life right now to grind for Ascended gear to make my character as effective as he used to be.
