Guild Wars 2

What about stuff for crafting and mystic smith?

Will it ever be in shop again?
I had no idea it even existed until someone told me about it and I would like to buy one.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The Queen Bee functions as a jewel, not a trinket. That is, it fits in the upgrade slot of any L80 trinket, with rarity of exotic or less (no ascended trinks).

Argh, I wanted to put it on an ascended trinket…. :-((

Does someone know: If I use this, will the stats of the trinket be overwritten with those of the queen bee trinket?

I think ascended gear and weapons should have variable stats, so that when you do Tequatl or wvwvw you can change the stats and do not need to craft extra sets.

I play in Drakkar See, which by the German language community has been selected as the unofficial role-play server.
My character is Asura and me and other Asura players had a role-play meeting where we pretended to be in a bar in Rata Sum.
Suddenly there comes a Norn player and putts his character on the counter, just stands there and disturbs.
Other players sometimes like to jump around us and spam effects when we role-play.

Why is there no possibility to turn such players off, so that you do not see them anymore?
Or give us the possibility to make a screenshot and report them.

Is this game meant for role-players or is it not?
I understand that players who enjoy role-play are a minority, but why must we suffer such harassment?

Since patch this day I have the problem that I cannot write in chat.
Sometimes I can write 1 word, but I cannot write a sentence, I see no text.
Anyone else with this problem?

I notice that new armour comes to the gem shop in form of costume sets only.
That’s bad, because you cannot freely choose the had armour you want to wear with it.
Will we get normal armour too?

What is the best way to withdraw forward?
I found an instruction here, but I don’t get it to work:

It is important to check "Use Free Camera" in the General Options menu and to assign a hotkey (such as the ’Shift’ key) to "About Face" in the Control Options menu.
Then rolling forwards with the heal or utility skill is simply a matter of left clicking the screen once, pushing the "About Face" key, activating the rolling skill, and right clicking during the rolling animation.

How good is it with a life leech build?

With dry top and silver waste so much new stuff has been brought into the game - I think it would be fair when bags of each size would be given 2-4 more slots.

Is there perhaps a video that shows this trick?

Exactly how does this combo work?
Must I have the Hidden Thief trait (sealing grants stealth) for this?
Because when you steal you become visible.

Why does every warrior build on Meta Battle use Healing Signet instead of Healing Surge or Mending[?
The regeneration of the signet is not so much if you don’t stack healing power.

From MetaBattle:
"Start casting Pin Down Pin Down while out of LOS to hide that you are channelling the skill to increase the chance of landing it."
Please, what is LOS?

Has anybody ever tried out to make a build with only main hand weapon?
I wonder why A-Net scripted that extra attacks for thief main hand 3 if nobody ever uses it.

Has anybody ever tried to make a build based on traps, perhaps for pvp?

Why are similar items sometimes account bound and sometimes account bound on acquire so that you cannot pile them up?

Does someone know a good sceptre/dagger build for PvP that is not based on fresh air?
I like dagger over focus because of air 4 +5 and fire earth 4.
But I find fresh air builds too squishy so I look for another build.

Dyes have become impossible expensive, please bring back dyes from harvesting.

I just got Palawa Joko’s Finger Cuff as a PvP reward.
Now I have 2 off them - and don’t need them.
I have a lot of useless ascended stuff which uses up my bank slots.
When will we be able to recycle ascended things in the mystic smith?

Why do hats have these side-parts?
I would like to see better looking hats without these.

What are the best sigills for dagger/pistol zerker thief in PvE?

I use the condition/survival build from MetaBattle but I wonder if I should not use sword/dagger as second weapon set instead of axe/dagger.
Reason are the evades on sword 2 and 3.
Problem is that sword is not exactly a condition weapon, it has cripple on the auto-attack and poison on skill 3, but no bleeding.
So what to do?

Is there a good hybrid build for tPvP, with sceptre/pistol & greatsword?

Can someone tell me how to get to that poi in silverwaste?
Must I do the jumping puzzle to get there?

Swish.2463:

After they burn two dodges in a row

What are the best ways to force a dodge?

Ross Biddle.2367:

Your problem is you’re not bringing the right tools for the job. Staff/GS Shatters? They know exactly what you’re about and what’s coming.

In contrast

Do you use the standard 2-2-0-0-6 build or is your build different?

What is a good moment to shatter?
I can do no damage with shatter at all, but when I have mesmers as opponents they always manage to immobilize & shatter me in an instant.
How do you do that?

Does someone know the PU build in this video (1:13)?

Does someone have success with a life stealing build?

lordkrall.7241:

Except that people that are already good would end up getting more rewards for doing ranked PvP.

It seems they don’t care.

Then only people who want to train would use this arena mod, not people who already are very good and just want to farm.
The way it is now you cannot really use this arena for training.

What’s the matter with this game?
I get disconnects and cannot login anymore.
What’s the problem and why is it not being fixed?

I experiment with Mesmer in PvP and 1 have 2 problems:

1. Slowness in combat:
Eles are unbelievable fast – I’m unbelievable slow.
Is there anything besides a focus that would give mw access to swiftness?

2. I constantly get immobilized – seems everyone except me can immobilize.
How do I get rid of this?

I would love to see an option to buy Karma for laurels.
I have lots of laurels I don’t need, but I lack Karma.

In what order are boons removed or stolen?
How can I make sure to remove stability?

Just had 3 games in ranked team arena, lost all 3.
First game was death match map - why is this map in tPvP?
Than came Legacy of the Foefire - one player in my team left.
Third map was Spirit Watch - one player in my team left.
My impression was that my groups had to play against professional Pvp players, we never had any chance in neither of the matches.
What kind of crap is this?

I just cannot complete this, I’m always discovered.
It feels as if when I stand behind one of this guys to knock him out he automatically turns around.
Is this a bug or what am I doing wrong?
Is there a certain order in which you have to knock them out?

Swish.2463:

Retaliation requires that you Stand on the line and use a Leap or Blast finisher while there. It’ll then give you the newer Radiant Aura which grants retaliation when hit.

Doesn’t work for me, seems I do something wrong.
I walk towards enemy until I’m in range of Illusionary Leap, than I cast Temporal Curtain under the feet of enemy and use sword 3 twice.
Than I get swiftness.

Swish.2463:

Also, that’s not haste, its swiftness. the two are completely different so be sure to double check before you post :P

Sorry.

How does that trick work with pulling a mob to a wall?

How do I get retaliation on me?
I tried several times, but all I get is haste.

Do you have German speaking people in your guild?
I could really need a tutor but he/she should better speak German.

Is there some hambow guide for tPvP?
I like to try it out, but I never before played a warrior.

I was first in Southsun cove when I got disconnected and could not login any more, loading screen was there for an eternity.
I thought that this was because it was the karka queen was there and many players on map, so I started the game new an choose another character.
With this character I wanted to do some pvp but first got some messages that the game-client had lost connection although I could move around and also use my skills.
But than I had massive skill lags and got disconnected twice, the second disconnect brought about an endless loading screen again so I had to give up.

Just had to leave from PvP.
Massive skill lags, 2 disconnects, now cannot login any more.
Play from Europe.

I mean with and without Phantasmal Strength (Inspiration, Grandmaster minor).
Empowered Illusions (Domination III) does [B]not[/B] affect phantasms, or does it?

One more question about condition removal (difficult for Mesmers): In your experience, is Sigill of Purity sufficient to achieve this?

Is there anywhere an overview which phantasm does what damage untraited vs traited?

Chaos.3579:

I’m currently running the build in my signature. In it I run a few shatter related traits and a few phantasm related Passives.
With it I change play style to phantasm or shatter depending on the situation I’m in.

Thanks for you build, really interesting.
Thing is - I would like to use a torch, I like the thief feeling.

Can a phantasm build do as much damage as a shatter build?

Is there any way to successful combine phantasms with shatter: First summon phantasms and let them do their damage, than shatter them to summon new phantasms?
Because the way phantasms work, even with Phantasmal Haste there is always a time gap in which they stand around and do nothing - this gap could be use for shatter.

As title says.
I play the game in German and would have asked in the german language forum, but I cannot login - the site loads and loads and loads...
And I cannot login game at all.
On server status site I see that 2 Diag servers are down, could that be the problem?
Is there any work around?

Thank you. :-)

Does someone know how to get this mini pet?
