This is a month long event and you are all crying about not instantly getting the rewards on the first day. These coffers are crazy common and there will be thousands upon thousands on the TP for super cheap in a few days.

For all the complaints about RNG and ANet, you people need to look at yourselves and your instant gratification fixation. Sometimes you dont get everything you want right away, and when they DO give you it all up front people cry that there is no reason to play or no challenge, etc. I hate to say it but you all do this to yourselves.

This ^^

Hi Arenanet,
Just letting you know that I would pay $100-200 for race change kit ezy-ezy! Pretty sure im not alone

Please consider adding that option to gem store, I couldnt care less about personal story – you can delete it all and I can replay it later if needed.

I just really would like to change the race of my main character (especially if you ever add tengu as a playable race), but i’m not ready to lose all my stuff and re-craft 10 legendaries

Is Wethospu playing anymore? I liked that guys and his videos, was really fun!

This guy is just an arrogant jerk hating ranger profession left and right – his comments are full of negativity and hatred…
Not sure why you guys helping him and even talking to him

IMHO we should let him sit under his bridge

as a BM ranger (almost 3k hr played, dungeon master back in october, 10 legendaries etc) im always tempted to kick ranger with SotH + 2 bears + 2 bows And unfortunately thats the majority of rangers joining for dungeon runs.

I think the problem with ranger specifically is that class has a very steep learning curve and the majority of PUG rangers contribute little to nothing to the team standing at 1200range autoattacking with shortbow. On the other side an average PUG brain-dead warrior has 100b and heavy armor\endure pain, which kinda makes grass greener

1. get rid of stupid 60s cooldown on pet death
2. pet gets 2s aegis on dodge roll

JQ, just opened

Try to use +200% magic find boost?

Ive done lvl 48 dredge fractal tonight, got 48 bags, cant say it was nerfed

This is a very frustrating achievement, can be easily sabotaged by one player and provokes griefing.

Also im fairly confident that people getting getter at Crab Toss and it prevents everyone from getting achievement

im a ranger myself and my group usually has no problems with this boss up to lvl 48 (my friend is a guardian)

the following tips might be helpful for your group:
1. BEFORE transition try to group up in one of the corners – left or right. it will give you 5-10 sec to destroy the bubble untill eles reach your group.
2. use quickness + ranger shortbow to destroy bubble
3. as soon as bubble destroyed – pop up all your kitten like projectile reflect and big AOEs. I usually swap to GS, use muddy terrain\roots and we destroy em all in 10sec tops. even is someone is downed you can quickly rally

basically the key to success is projectile block, CC and AoE. Tell your warrior to switch to GS and go melee for adds, ele can use air focus to provide additional support

this happens when you trigger escape event too early, you need to let NPCs finish their rant about bombs and stuff

Don’t join speed run groups?

There are many groups going on http://gw2lfg.com/

why is this a bug?

blind spot in the center of his red reticule might be a bug but jumping is ok imho

Jon Peters – next level troll

We are glad that ranger community is getting attention even if its trolling

wish.3102:

Can someone explain this to me?
(please wait for all the SS’s, there will be 6+)

I saw this mesmer yesterday in EB JP, same server, same guild tag [DIE], same armor. We killed him a few times in JP (3rd floor, next to chest) and he was back in like 30sec. He is either using some terrain/fly/speed hack or other mesmer to port (which is really unlikely)

opened on JQ 11:20 PST

happened to me 3 times tonight, same error, reports sent to arenanet

p.s. queue is more than an hour, so its extremely annoying

open on JQ
*15 symbols

Just opened on Tarnished Coast

Dwayna temple is NOT broken on JQ, so you can always visit karma merchant or participate in event chain

You dont.

/thread

I guess Arah event chain was broken with the latest patch and event difficulty scaling.

We cannot complete the very first event to escort NPCs to Anchorage. Squad morale drops to 0% every time we reach the place with poison cloud no matter how many people we bring.

Was anyone able to complete this chain after patch?

Folk.2093:

your doing it wrong; go in the room pull rab; kill his adds then solo him in a corner.

once he’s dead prapare for awesome survival mode as you plow through the dredge adds.

lol, tell me how we are doing it wrong? did I ever tell you what’s our strategy?

try to get to lvl 40 first and then defend a broken fractal

Folk described the actual and valid strat for lvl 48 Rabsovich. This is by far the fastest way of doing it (still long though, but loot is also good enough to make up for that)

Did I mention what’s our strategy in the op? What I wrote are there is pointless too many waves of adds on top of a long fractal. You just have to assume this kitten doing 40+ not knowing the strats and get carried all the way to 40+?

Im sorry, i fail to see how your questions are related to what I just told?

As I can see from your initial post, you pulling adds to the door first, resetting the boss till all adds are dead and then killing the boss. Yes this is just too long, you spend a lot of time to bring the adds to position and line em up properly. You can do it faster, please see above how

just opened on Blackgate

p.s. i lold how they nerfed Balthazar

This is clearly a l2dodge issue. My main is a ranger and i switched to greatsword as main weapon approx a month ago. I find it more challenging and fun to run dungeons in melee exclusively, especially as a ranger
The only mob that i cannot melee atm is fire shaman lvl 30+ and lupicus stage2 – all others are absolutely meleable Just need to figure out the mechanics and learn to dodge and use defensive cooldowns appropriately

We don’t even need ETA, just let us know if something is planned for Ranger in the future updates.

Thank you in advance

stack in melee. if anyone dies at range – kick him and pug anyone else who will be able to die in melee.

you will thank me later lol

Is JQ going to be on tier 4? Said who? Cannot find any official announcements

He always resets if u run too far away, like any other boss. Try to keep him within 1500 range and deal dmg to him

Dear ArenaNet, please don’t make THIS a new dungeon standard.

On a serious note – its all good, we all been there at some point. I remember looking at taht spider boss a few months ago and thinking that this game is very-very melee unfriendly, now im meleeing pretty much everything in this game (as a ranger^^) except fire shaman/colossus lvl 30+ (and btw that is possible as well). If you dont mind hit me up in game and i will help you to run TA and set up build for dungeons. Its not that hard, but you definitely need to think your build over. You cannot come with random traits/utilities/gear and just stand there smashing random buttons. It perfectly works in open world pve but it does not and should not work in dungeons which require team work and certain level of situational awareness.

i never got kicked from any dungeon group but i agree completely – vote kick system should be changed asap. recent changes to fractals encourage people to vote kick pugs to invite their guildies for “quick and easy daily” – this is just not right

We just run lvl 40 Maw – pet rez and revive orbs both work just fine. You still can totally exploit any lvl of fractal if you have a ranger or gems

I can definitely say that this bug often occurs in a certain encounters.
I experienced this issue a lot during my playtime (more than 30 times) and it only occured in the following dungeons:
- TA path up after you kill the second spider boss (the one with eggs)
- AC any path after you kill the spider

Maybe its related to some type of enemy you fighting or skills they using. Although I never experienced this bug after fighting the first spider boss in TA

Spam poison. Problem solved.

p.s. Boss can wipe out all the crystals in the room with some skill

well this is a very poor attitude to customers

Should we be scared to send\accept christmas and new year gifts now?

I’ve sent and received lots of stuff recently, i guess many of us did

Intoduce ‘inspect’ feature. Problem solved

Yeah previously boss can be poisoned\AOEd while in stealth. Now boss removes all the debuffs and gets invulnerable while in stealth – that makes this fight impossible to complete.

I have no idea why they made this ridiculous, the most difficult and the most frustrating fight in game even more frustrating. Ive killed this boss 3-4 times before one of the latest patches (a patch deployed a month ago i guess), and spent like a few hours on that boss a few days ago with a really good group (we cleared dungeon to dwayna in less than 40 min)

I have submitted a ticket but got only mindless reply “go-to-the-forums”.

Can anyone from development team make some comments on that? If it is working as intented we will keep looking for ways to beat her, if it is a bug we will wait for the patch.
Thanks!

omg watch this…. nerf incoming in 3…2…1

i am experiencing the same issues ; was stuck invisible\offline and cannot log back in

Its a great thing that all the fractal bugs are listed in a special thread on official game forums! I suggest you guys stick this thread so it wont get buried! Everyone must know how to exploit exactly!

I loved this game and i enjoyed fractals up to lvl 30, we were doing em with guild group and we had no idea how to exploit things (yes things are getting hard close to 30)

And now whenever im pugging some random people they start teaching me how to exploit colossus, how to exploit dredge etc.. Its disgusting! And if I refuse to exploit with them they tell me to kitten and join the wagon or otherwise they kick me. All the fractal thing became just a pathetic joke.

Honestly you should have closed the dungeon 1 week ago. Most of exploits are just game breaking

lvl50+ Jade Maw cannot be done legitimately with current agony resistance. After Jade does his aoe agony thingy all party members are dead-dead with no exceptions – its a gear check mechanics . If you claiming you beat Jade 50+ you either used revive orbs or ranger pet rez, both methods are obviously bugs and should be addressed within the future patches

The purpose of this thread, anyways, is to bring to Arenanet attention the fact that currently lvl30 and lvl40 daily rewards are worse than lvl20 rewards. Progressing past lvl20 makes little to no sense – leveling an alt to fractal lvl20 sounds like a better idea

The thread is about bugged daily reward chest, not about how far you can get into the fractals. Currently lvl 30 and lvl40 daily chests do not reward infused rings \ weapons skins – only non-infused rings, which can as well be obtained from lvl10 chest. This is obviously a bug and needs to be addressed. Ive submitted a ticket and received only automatic mindless response, thats why we came to the forums and trying to bring this to arenanet attention.

offtopic. get a ranger in your group and you dont have to waste your gems on revive orbs lvl100 fractals is possible, the problem is that rewards are worse than on lvl20

Swamp is absolutely the best fractal!
It can be done very quickly if you learned the pattern, we never run with mesmer (thief\ranger\war\guardian\ele) and its definitely doable without thief as well

If you love this fractal like us you can just reset the fractal#1 to get it first like we do

Currently there is no incentive to progress past lvl20 – you can get all the best loot from lvl 20 daily chest. Fractal difficulty increases exponentially past 20, some fights are pretty tough and fractals take much more time to complete – that definitely does not compensate +1token reward.

Lvl 30 daily chest either is bugged or… whatever

Agony at lvl30 is devastating even with 25 AR. Basically if you got hit by anything boss does you are done.

IMHO, some trash fights might be even harder than boss fights – dredge fractal lvl27-29 gave us a blast

I agree with all lupicus \ dredge fractal comments. In addition to that on higher lvls you cannot afford to get hit by ANYTHING – you got agony as well and you are pretty much done.

Guess OP is just stubborn. TBH i usually kick people like that, thise who refuse to hop in mumble, to bring some necessary utility etc. Its just cheaper for me to spend 5 min and find a replacement than to whipe on Lupicus and constantly clear trash spiders in TA.

BTW, can u melee that flame shard in CoF2?

LVL 30 Fractal done with 15-25 agony resistance in group

Anyways rewards are complete kitten – our group got only 2 non-infused rings, no infused rings, no weapon skins. We were expecting to get infused rings or weapon skins with higher chance or maybe smth even better.

Can anyone from Arenanet side make any comments on that?

Thank you

Interact with banner to get into the room

Mossman lvl20 gave us a blast!! Looking forward to see him at lvl 30

Puzzle is very easy for a well coordinated group, i wouldnt say that it is heavily class dependant, we rock ranger+thief+warrior+guardian+guardian\warrior.
