Reason I left wow was because I felt they made me grind my face off for everything nonstop. So I dont get that.
Id just keep trying to find a group if I were you and not give up. My gear is pretty much all vit, power, condition damage and I havent run into your issue yet as a thief. Also at your level you can just go to the TP and buy gear that has vit and power on it for dirt cheap and maybe that will make people happier. I find other players like it when they are downed, still getting hit and they get shadow refuge thrown on them. Then you can rez them uninterupted or they can finish rezzing themselves. Smoke screen is cool too againts ranged attacks. When the boss that sucks everyone in (first AC chest I think in explore – Kohler?) downs a bunch of your team use your steal ability which will give you the power of fear. (smoke screen blocks his get over here ability btw) Pop the fear and he will wander off long enough for you to rez one of them, probably. After a bit most are not getting downed by him anyway as they recognize his incoming attack. All ghosts give fear on steal I think. But use it only when needed as it moves them out of your teams aoe.
But others have a right to form the types of groups they want. I dont get it in story mode my guess is they were a bunch of nubs if they were in story so they didnt know what they were talking about. More nubbier then me even… Gathering tokens Id understand some players trying to make the best group so as to speed run as many paths in the time they have available. “in the time they have available” dont hate them they are just playing the game they way they want like the rest of us. Some players are just on a mission to get it done asap and I respect that. In that case just keep looking for another group.
To clarify I did not earn anything of note during the 20 minutes in Orr. The mats and gems I sold were all that I had saved while leveling to 80. I figured Orr bit for earning gold.
That there are undead everywhere nonstop. It makes sense to me. Enjoyed doing a chain to open a karma vendor and getting an exotic hat. That being said I tried today farming gold to purchase exotic rings amulet trinkets with and after 20 minutes went straight to LA and sold all my mats and gems. Exotic trinkets problem now solved. I do expect it to be a nice fun challenge for my wife and I to explore as a team once she gets to 80. She plays at a more sensible pace. Dungeons are just so much more appealing imo.
Prob already posted but I didnt see it. Restart a stalled event.
Sorry cannot remember exact details but it was an event chain in a Char zone to cause a portal to open which then grants access to a mini dungeon through said portal. On the final leg of the four npc’s journey to cause the portal to open we the players killed a mob of badguys, who were supposed to attack the four friendly npc’s we were escorting, before they had a chance to interact with the friendly npc’s. After this happened our four friendly npc’s stood in one spot for half an hour. We all went and did other things but I kept checking in on them. After the half hour had passed I pulled a passing group of moas into the four friendly npc and the moas aggroed them with their scream attack. The four friendly npc then killed the moas and continued on and completed the DE.
Thanks for reading.
Give it a chance. First time thru for everyone probably blew unless they were with someone who did it before of read up on it. Watched a youtube of a betaweekend group trying to do the room with one boss and all the spike traps in it they didnt know to get across and pull the chain. They kept dying. Point is they hadnt done it before.
First room of AC is your practice room so pull one thing at a time in there and figure it out. Update your gear at the trading post with whatever you can afford probably greens. Get stuff with vit so you dont get one shotted and put stuff in the upgrade slots. Then do your self a favour and get someone who has done it to go with you. Read the mobs description under their name. One says reflects projectiles so you can kill yourself by shooting it.
The room with all the flame throwers just run through it its pointless. Gravling burrow you go melee and make sure that you are running back and forth over it that makes uou hit it more often. Kill those necros and rangers quick. Someone must alt-t call primary target then the others know who to focus on. Unless you are very clse to a waypoint try to rez your teammates before they completly die. If you completely die dont wait to be rezd run back from the nearest waypoint.
But they are not nice agreed. Watch some vids of groups who have already done the work of figuring it out. You will have lots of fun dont quit yet.
Not news but I just ran AC story mode using a samsung galaxy 1 on a 3G network as the connection. Went pretty well with the occasional one second pause and one total computer freeze. Its never froze like that before and had to restart the comp. Otherwise was very playable.

It is because when you craft something you are adding nothing to it other than a very small amount of time. Click a button and post on TP. The ingredients before you used them were wanted by almost everyone so the could level their craft and gain xp. Now those same ingredients are contained within an item that only a few people want.
You have probably seen by now that gem cards are now available from select retailers. If not available in your area then I suggest finding a reputeable online reseller. They will email you the code. That doesnt solve the problem of anet not accepting your credit card. Maybe it is your credit card company who doesnt recognize Anet?
You are required to answere a skill testing question. I am sorry that was not funny at all.
With gem cards possibly available at local retailers we may see an increase in the tp gem supply. Perhaps some of the players who dont use a credit card will buy gems direct from Anet now.
Dont know if other players do like I do but white blue green yellow log butter walnut iron ore its all vendor trash to me. May check tp once in a while buy if its only worth a couple copper more than vendor the vendor gets it. Of course if it fits in collection it goes there or to a friend if they have need.
I dont believe not meddling is true in Eve’s case either. I recall being kittened out by another player because I chose to sell my ore to an npc due to the npc offering a higher price. When apoc was king of mining. Eve was giving some love to their miner players. Also they have had their own emplyees aquire entire sets of t2 bpos on their ingame characters am i correct?
I bought enough gems a few weeks ago with ingame gold to buy a character slot. At that time I seem to recall selling drops to vendors for about 10 copper due to being idk level 25 abouts. Now Im 78 and vendoring stuff for around 100 copper. With more and more players reaching end zones the gold the average player has to spend on gems could be increasing.
The impression given by the adverts is different than the reality and frankly you were misled imo. It is a bit of a shock like being kicked in the kittens and the face at the same time but just keep at it. Story mode is doomed to suck because most players doing it havent done it yet or at least not much. So you get “yaya we know” yaya they know thats why we are wiping are wiping on the same boss for the fifth time and now they are getting frusterated and quitting. Resulting in you still not getting to complete your story mode. Im talking about you AC Lovers. Just push through story mode and move onto the exploreable modes where the experienced players are. There you, and I, will benifit and learn from their experience. Its better then.
The dungeons are fun dont give up.
Some poor kittens are making a living off of gold farming and power leveling. I find that I just dont care if they do it or not I just play the game. So good for them. On another note didnt wow make game gold so easy to get that it became pointless for most of the farmers to continue? I recall seeing very little ingame gold seller spam in wow last year. Of course if it was that easy here that would make it near pointless to buy gems from Anet. Im one of those who doesnt mind paying a sub. Geez I cant spend fifteen bucks a month on something I enjoy? Spend more than that on coffees on the way to work monthly….
Now if every time I bought 800 gems from Anet I got an account bound mount that lasted for a couple hours riding before expiring say…. Wouldnt most prefer to buy from Anet rather than gold sellers in this case? Thanks for reading and have fun.
Because for them it is fun to sit and stare at the tp. Pick an item type that has some demand always buy up all available and resell at a much higher price. Oh and kick start this process with your visa. Not my idea of fun but good for them.
I use two kinds of jumps. First the “human” jump where you start running then jump. Second where you jump first then start moving in mid air which seems to be a more controlable jump. I cant do the second one in real life though so its kind of wierd. Of course I know nothing about how you have to play. Good luck.
“Yo Mama so fat” never seemed like a good enough reason for a mob or boss to focus the tank. Seemed pretty lame and weak to me. It broke my immersion that the mob who was also the boss of the entire dungeon could be that…. stupid to fall for and die to such a gimmick. mmm but you just said the lack of trinity was lessening your pve experience… a true statement that nobody can really argue with. Good luck.
Haha posts show exact same time. I like the way you think Vradica hehe.
If at least one party member has not already completed the story mode have those that have already completed sm get double the tokens they would in explore. Older dungeon players would compete to run new players through sm I guess.
Most players at 80 are taking this game seriously I think. They got there by being single minded in their approach. I think the zerg is just them being efficient in collecting karma or whatever they get out of the events. When an individual comes in and completes an event it may screw up the zergs event path idk. So from the zergs perspective it is you who is being the bad and inconsiderate player. Im sure as more people reach the end zone the hard core single minded players who make up its majority now will become diluted.
I disagree and prefer not having dedicated tanks and healers. Gw2 path to success cannot be to copy 99% of the other mmo out there imo.
For some people scamming is they way they play the game. To scam is part of the reason they paid sixty bucks for the game and is how they have fun. Maybe he is role playing a thief idk.
No I believe the tree race of people come out of the dream naked or in thier appropriatly placed leaves only. Right after that you talk to someone and they give you the clothing colored the way you chose in character creation. Sorry that was off topic from the original question I believe.
At least you didnt get tea bagged like in some other game I wont mention. But ya dont be like them.
Have done only a couple AC story modes and my first AC explorable pathe two. The dungeons feel good. Explorable was to Story Mode as Story Mode was to normal questing in regards to how hard it felt. But I can see it getting easier each time as story mode became almost easy. When it was all said and done with sixty tokens in hand it felt pretty good.
Add a pool at the bottom so there is not a big splat please.
Dumb mobs and bosses who are somehow easily tricked into focusing only the tank is just plain lame. I dont miss princess tanks or healers either to be honest.
oh ya… instead of running back to his start spot would be cool if he said something like “I know you are still here Thief” and started swinging and searching randomly. Otherwise if other party members are still around it would make sense for him to attack them instead of running back.
this happens to me if i pull him too far from his starting position. I dont know if it is the same situation with you.
Im sure many have thought of and done variations of this already…
The thief is capable of soloing the ghost warrior mob by means of slowing movement speed and ranged attack. You can keep the ghost warrior mob perma ranged so he cannot hit you. This could possibly be usefull for splitting groups of mobs up so the rest of the party can concentrate on the ranger perhaps. I have not tried this in a group….
Note if you are the only one who has his aggro using stealth may very possibly cause him to reset to his starting position.
Build I used:
Pistol/Dagger skills 1(auto attack) and 4(cripple)
Signet of Shadows(25% movement buff)
Needle Trap
Caltrops (also had caltrops on dodge)
Thieves Guild
Dont let him hit you. Maybe you are different but I was not successfull in dodging his attacks by watching for their signs. My dodges only worked if I used them when he was getting too close otherwise I was too late.
(truth I only got him to 25% pulled him too far away from his start and he ran back)
Thoughts? Usefull or no?
I’m very sure this is not news but posting anyway.
I was playing with the ghost warrior mob in the very first room of AC. If stealth is used and I do not continue the attack immediately the mob runs back to his starting point healing himself back up in the process. Defeats one of the core mechanics of the thief imo. Note that I was by myself solo. This also happened in a group when we were wiping and I was the last one left standing atm. Using stealth in that situation causes the mob to reset so even if a party member is about to rejoin you your teams previous effort has just been wasted. ty
I type words from the topic that interests me into the box and click the search thingy but nothing happens. Help! Ty
I prefer to play support and yet with full knowledge that there was not going to be a trinity I bought GW2 anyway. That is what I read. From your title I had full knowledge of the whiny post to come yet I opened it anyway. Im guilty of whining as well. You will get over it and play a game that you like instead of one that you do not.
Doesnt like other players telling him how to have fun. Ok noted.
Ive used d/d almost exclusivly to lvl 55. If your weapons are starting to show their age get some lvl current ones off the trading post and you should notice a difference in how fast you kill stuff. Use your blossom as a dodge that also applies damage. You end up with four dodges so you should have some sort of dodge available most of the time. Keep auto attack on someone as much as possible and watch for enemy health bars to get low then heart seeker the low one so he goes byby. Pull out your two thief buddies when it gets hairy. Use the smoke stealth skill and your stealth heal skill to avoid damage while your bleeds and poison chew them down. Oh apply poison too. I also like that 25% run speed bonus skill. Dam 55 levels of d/d I should broaden my horizon. Cant comment on other classes killing better as I only play thief and ele atm. Sounds like you found what works for you. Have fun.
Ya is was fun and gave me a sense of accomplishing something in the game. Also first time story mode tonight so cannot comment on dungeons really yet. Was an ele and four thieves with one player knowing the drill. Wont lie I was downed probably thirty times and died six I think. But was good times. It would have been painfull without the player who knew what they were doing. Almost all mobs felt like vets at least and hit like a truck. Story mode supposed to be easier than explore so I will see.
Gw2 pvp it is what it is. Looking at the combos and they actually look pretty cool Tbh. But the point was take what you want from the game and leave the rest. I wasnt happy with the pvp but love the pve so still excellent value for the money. Haha took a look at the secret world pvp and came running back to gw2 real fast. Gw2 pvp is actually very cool just not quite what I had in mind. So now I gw2 pve and am very happy. No reason why I cannot find the flavor of pvp I want in some other game and do my pvp fun there. Its too hard to make a game to satisfy everyone in every aspect it is too much to expect. Great job Anet no sarcasm intended.
Ive only done spvp which I have come to the conclusion blows. But the odd time in spvp that I get 1vs1 2vs2 it is good. It is very very good I think. I believe it has potential for team work once everyone knows their role and what everyone elses role is. But also I believe that the game is lacking tools to make team work come more naturally instead of hidden things like if i heal myself it gives my allies around me a speed boost. That kind of stuff just fits perfectly into a Zerg. Ok something like you have an engineer sitting with your lord say (spvp map) and someone else can call in fire from some kind of big turret he has set up. Stole that from the artillery yep. More than one warrior together can form some sort of shield wall. Stole that from the Romans yes. But yes spvp feels like a bunch of individuals running in a group.
People still crying about heartseeker when it has already been nerfed for a few dayw now. Any thief hammering the two button doesnt know what he is doing atm and is all kittened up cough cough. He is wasting his resourse and the only thing being accomplished is he is staying on top of you with his auto attack. Ooo scary.
Every class is going to have some other class they do not like. Solution is to buy enough slots to have one of each class and play them all.
This guy wants to give you money Anet! I want you to give them money too so they keep working on and improving this fun game. I support your post. Personally I am already sexy enough and dont require a makeover or race change.
Cool thank you much Sisho. Cheers
Im assuming that toughness reduces incoming damage by some percentage. So I guess that I am looking for effective health. Does anyone have advice on how much toughness compared to vitality I should have on my gear? Aiming for maximum survivability atm I only put damage mods on my weapons. Or do I have it all wrong. Thank you.
oh ya my comments refer to pve only
Lvl 26 elementalist here set up for close range and loving it (dagger/dagger). I enjoyed spending an entire group fight right in the face (shin bone) of a champion giant who was ravaging a town. The giant has three or for attacks only one which you have to watch for to dodge. So once you get that its not too hard to melee him.
I do wish that ele could switch between weapons in combat if for no other reason than “it would be fun!”. But mainly because I find myself wishing I could switch to d/d from staff when being swarmed. On my thief I just pop those pistols or bow away and whip out the daggers. If that fails I just pop on some stealth…. Actually bow on thief is not too bad up close I just shoot over and over again at my own feet if being swarmed works not too bad imo.
Most satisfying ele skill used so far is Tornado. That thing feels like it actually does something.
It always seemed to me that the monsters were pretty stupid to be so easily tricked into focusing the tank. Good riddence.
Dungeons are too hard. Skills are underpowered. This is what I am seeing in the forums. My theory is that Anet knows that players hate having their skills nerfed so they set them at a level where they could be buffed if needed. Players dont mind being buffed. Same with dungeons but in reverse.
Id say find some people to play with so you dont have to solo. Elemental seems great in a group.
Your friends should come into your instance to give you a hand. But ya sounds like not working as intended.
