Guild Wars 2

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Dear ArenaNet,

PLEASE BRING BACK THE FORWARD/UP PATH OF TWILIGHT ARBOR. There was no reason to remove it. You removed it because it was unpopular. It was unpopular because it was imbalanced to insanely difficult levels, and only at the boss. If you just fixed the boss instead of removing the whole path, the path would be run on a regular basis. I can promise that.

Besides, of all Twilight Arbor paths prior to this update, F/U was the most interesting (excluding the boss fight). You got to fight alongside Laurant, possibly even save him – there was a rumor I heard that if you did save him in the fight against Vevina, you’d get a special extra dialogue; sadly, I never saw this and there’s no documentation of this known (to me). This is also the one and only place that connected Torrential Husks and Flametouched Husks to the Nightmare Court – the only place they’re seen in the entire game is Crucible of Eternity. Furthermore, The Defiler uses a unique model shared with the Evolved Husk of Crucible of Eternity and the Avatars of Blight in Wychmire Swamp – both implied tied to an Elder Dragon. The lore implications this one Twilight Arbor path that you removed gave were huge compared to the others. And even excluding the plot and lore potential and implications, you had the most interesting mechanics out of all paths – the invisible nectar and the insta-kill bees, a simple yet also challenging thing befitting an explorable dungeon path.

And the one and only problem with this path was the boss fight. Yet you removed the whole thing.

Why?

Because you were too lazy to fix an easy-to-fix boss fight? Because you wanted to make “one path” to the Nightmare Tree (okay, that can be done… by having the choices going to the Nightmare Tree all possible within a single dungeon path, which would make it the most fascinating dungeon path of all since it wouldn’t be so linear)? There was no real need to remove it, not after it had existed. If you wanted there to be “one story” for how the Nightmare Tree is fought and destroyed, why make the extra two in the first place?

Personally, I want to see F/U path returned with a fixed boss fight. You only need to reduce the spawns, and it is fixed. It could be made better, of course, but it needn’t be just to make it popular again.

Nop u dun get extra loot :/

Me soloing the spider tree for the very last time.

instead of smokey purple cloud around ur body, they should had made it so it turn ur armor into metallic black with back smoke emitting from ur body.

ya I wish they would make Eternity more noticeable.

While alot of ppl may hate the path, I would run through it for my daily 200 token necessary for nightmare coil. It may take a regular pug group a hour plus, but my group would generally clear it in less than 20min. Here me soloing the spider tree for one last time

Its been a while since we heard of him. He’s probably locked up in some cage somewhere. The real question is, will Scarlet break him out and recruit him into her ranks.

It is just me or the sab mini game after completing each world remind me of the bonus stage from street fighter 2, and thieving elf scene from golden axe for world 2.

Have you ever wonder, how much you spent on the gem store already.

Maybe its deflation at work. Now that you have to salvage blue and green for essences of luck instead of vendor them off, scarlet event getting nerfed, you can’t run cof p1 over and over again, and world boss having chance of failing; gold is just harder to get right now.

GOSU.9574:

This is like saying the price on Toyota Camry is unfair!

Who is forcing you to buy it?

ha, no. At least u can get a second hand when they go out of production. Gem store item are account bound so better luck next time if u missed.

Behellagh.1468:

The did it because, in all likelihood, that the sale of the first pet set dropped off as the majority of hard core pet collectors who started in the first few months of the game have collected them all. So to keep the money coming in they introduced the 2nd set.

we’re talking about buying 2 set of the same limited time mini just so u can keep all 4 of them, just because u have to throw one of the set into the forge to get the 4th mini.

not only are they over charging for a little piece of data, now they want us to buy 2 set of mini just to get all. Its the same with boombox, whats the point of having 2 of them.

we need to punish Anet by boycotting gemstore.

I mean WTF why do we have to buy 2 set of mini just to have them all.

they can just make it like footfall.

dude ur talking about a MMORPG, have u read some of the chats in game. Its way worst than blood and gore.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if applying bleeding condition makes opponent leave behind trail of blood, that case if someone try to stealth away, u can follow the trail of blood.

For something that cost 2 legendary we’re again getting screw over.
Our aura is gone when we pull out our eternity, we throw default sword instead of sunrise or twilight, lost the ability to choose which to display, and only 1 kind of footfall.
For something that cost 2 legendary it should be way more flashy and freedom to choose which to display with the ability to house separate sigil.

Mikuchan.7261:

Game designers work on the game design, they don’t do programming (to that extent), they don’t do bugs (to that extent).
Programmers work on the game code. They do programming and they are the ones who know how to fix the bugs.
Programmers on the party system may not have a clue how the black lion trading post works.
Different people are assigned to do different things because that’s needed and they have different skills and a lot of things need to happen simultaneously.
An elementalist cannot use Aegis and a guardian can’t use Meteor Shower and that’s basically the same thing.

OP is asking leading questions without realistic alternativesm so I see no point in answering the question at all since it leads to nothing.

How would programmer know what he’s doing, unless he understand the games mechanic. I guess they need to have the programmer start playing the game.

You have three options:

1) stop farming champs

^ lol

seriously, please stop. You (and the rest of the zerglings) are destroying the servers.

I dun farm champ, they all came from dungeon champ drops :/

Save yourself should apply boon to party, VOJ should passive should apply burning per hit.

With the amount you get from champ box, its literally sitting there taking up inventory space.

Seen a thousand+ of those threads…Anet love it, constantly congratulating themselves on creating such a good money sink with the MYSTIC TIOLET…where players flush there gold down every day…

The forge is not a gold sink. If anything, it leaves more gold in the economy that would otherwise have been taken out if you used the TP to sell your items.

But once they hit big and try to sell it on tp, they will get high with a lump sum fee.

Gold sinks need to be looked at en masse, not on one or two players.

The number of people who will fail at the forge lose more value than those who win. More gold still remains in the economy than removed by the lucky few who have to pay the 15% cut

ur also missing the fact that most ppl that plays the forge probably brought their mats through TP, therefore it is consider a gold sink.
I would also like to point out that because of the chances for precursor from the forge, there is demands for mith ore and elder wood, compare to silk and thick leather.

There is no fee for putting up buy orders.

If you want to go several levels deep, such as arguing that the introduction of the mystic forge leads to higher prices of materials, which leads to higher amounts of gold sinked as a fee, then yes, I can see it indirectly being a gold sink. But the mystic forge alone isn’t.

There is no fee for putting up buy order, someone is still paying the 15% to fill the order. So at the end of the day 15% still gets remove therefore its consider a gold sink.

ozmaniandevil.6805:

I just want to know how long it takes you all to make the 500g you use to buy stuff to throw in the thing!! Hmmmm….maybe i just need to play more

3250 Rare GS cost 975g to craft at the current market price.

I wanna know why, they are way longer than dungeon, especially on higher level where it can take upward of 3 hours.

I said I welcome lvl 80, but not every1 is power build.

What’s wrong with them?

Nothing is wrong with them, u just can’t expect every pug to go power build.

If you’re “pointing at guardians” for not ranging this boss you clearly should stop running this path. Having one guardian alone is enough to enable any group to full melee burst this thing down.

I said I welcome lvl 80, but not every1 is power build. If I c 2 guardian or mesmer + guardian, I would melee burst it down with reflection and soa, but the fail rate is high, second option is to range it down.

Heck, I run this path everyday, I welcome 80s that actually bring a 1200+ range weapon (Point at guardian without scepter.) What u do is get someone with condition removal that knows how to dodge the tree immobile root attack to kite all the spider while attacking and running counter clock around the tree. Once all the spider are being kited, the rest of the party can range it from the narrow hallway without worries, and if they did somehow get aggro, they can run out of the room while u continue to kite and keeping the tree from reseting.

I think about going http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQNAR7dlw167GFSOEg9ERWBRi9AjZsjXPSIFZIA-jkBBojAEBAJQFRjtqpIasabYKXER1A-w

you have to remember, celestial set alone give more stats alone in power/precise/toughness/vita/crit damage than zerker power/precise/crit damage

Care to explain what you mean here, i don’t get it!

it means to attack up the p/p/t/v/cd on both set, and the total comes out in favor of celestial.

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

If you can do it solo without exploits I’ll buy 4 slots. Oh and you have to transfer to NA.

I am in NA, and no I will only solo the spider tree for you.

bigmonto.4215:

With the new Traveler rune, you can spec perma-swiftness very easily. +33% speed increase with GS-3, Sword-2, scepter-3, Hammer-3, or/and ji you can do some good chasing.

errr ya but good luck getting out when they hit you with cripple, freeze, immobilize.

Basically any class can run away from a guardian :/

Full Celestial Guardian, Including Ascended Celestial Back piece with 2 water, 2 monk, 2 traveler. 0-0-30-30-10

Man I like those stats. Might have to get full celestial.

Just a piece of advice. Dont!

Stat wise the only two pieces you need are chest and legs. Those have stats that is on par, the rest is subpar.

I have a full celestial as well and you will be better off taking the time to mixing clerics/magi/valky/knight/ber/pvt.

Check out gw2buildcraft.com, that is a perfect place to fiddle around with stats and get a grip regarding effective stats.

You wont get the raw stats of celestials but you will get better effective healthpool, higher dps while maintaining the heals. Celestials is a huge deception.

Two reasons for that:
1. celestials lack power and without it damage will always be mediocre, it doesnt matter if its huge on crit damage and crit chance.
2. Condi damage is useless for a guardian if you font specialize heavily in it which will kitten your build.

The only thing i use charged crystals for is that it is cheap to craft, to get to 500.

His maths is 6 for armour, 1 for weapon, 5 for accessories. There is no Celestial backpiece.

Said’s who, I got ur celestial backpack right here
https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/101029/gw162.jpg

Since so many ppl are having trouble with TA F/U path, I was wondering if ppl would hire someone to clear it for them.

LoL, I wish I would had brought more of those wayfarer fractal backpack b4 they retire.

sry only obtainable through double clicking first time.

Ya this whole update been a mess

LoL, can only get through from wayfarer backpiece

its not there anymore, just checked.

what happen to it T_T I have 2 ticket left

LoL for those who got mf fractal backpiece

Can’t wait till tomorrow update

either GW2 is 136years old or I travel back in time.

Remember Karka Queen? Well remember Karka Queen after southsun events? What about invasion? Will people still do invasion after the event?

Wasn’t the whole point of gauntlet to reward people that took the risk, while increase reward for people who took the extra risk with gambits. Can a developer answer me, whats the point of gauntlet and even more so toward gambits. Why take the risk of 20s plus more if u die with 4 gambit, when the payout is hardy a few copper.
