Guild Wars 2

Teh Ouchies
no
Current Division – Diamond, 2 tiers from Legendary (If time Permits this week, I will try to push for Legendary)
Where do I think I belong – High Ruby/Low Diamond.

Want to know how I measure my success in game?

Did I have fun playing during that session? If I did, then that was a successful gaming session.

It does not matter if some person has more gold, shinies or AP because at the end of the day, we all play the same game. Although how we choose to play may be different.

I flower spam (set the skill 3 to auto attack) the bank steps in LA for hours on end.

Been doing that since year 1 and still flower spamming hard.

Runes can be changed for chronomancer runes for more quickness uptime. But with coordinated groups (and those that tend to run more durablity runes groupwide) Its more resistance to share.

Use your interrupts (Staff 5, Shield 5, F3, Gravity Well) Wiselly. Combine that with the boon rip sigil and boon share.

If you dont have problems staying alive, chance the accessories around to be more group damage oriented and less tanky.

Edit*

Why no superspeed glamors?

Because of the limit on how many people an AoE can affect.
Once you start getting into zerg busting and dropping aoes on your frontline or self bombimg, the superspeed is going to make a few members of your team move faster and away from the safety of the ball. That in turn makes them easy pickings.

My experience with (Speed running) Pugs is that they can not dodge the highly telegraphed pull attack.

I assumed that is why they kept on stacking in the corner, to avoid that.

the VG fight is just about the only time I have in game sounds on. Just for one reason, the blue circles.

I also have problems seeing them, but with sound on, when they get placed the game makes one of the worst sounds ever. And that is what I use as a cue instead.

I dont really get gold seller spam in wvw or pvp….

However, I noticed I do get those whispers when I log into my mules I have in the DR, non terrace bank.

The bloody prince staff allowed any class to stealth in WvW.

The executionors axe was/is the fastest way of traveling in game.

*edit

The broom is the same type of item as the two above. It was easier to disable all toys than to just allow certain ones to be used.

In one thread he finds caps lock. In this thread he losses keys.

This, my friends, is why face rolling is bad.

I just came back to the game from an extended break.

IF name purges happened, I guarantee you that Teh Ouchies (the name of my main, and the one I am un willing to lose), had been stripped of my account, I would never log in again.

Thankfully, those silly things do not happen. And thus, I logged in again this week.

I’ll be ordering my copy soon.

Quick Question though…. Does any one know what the estimated time of all the tracked combined would be?

You only have 7 days to buy them. Once purchased they last a lifetime on your account.

Deflation.

Decreased liquid gold rewards in dungeons.

Increased trading post activity post hot for guild halls and legendary crafting. (TP Taxes)

Less gold in a considerable amount of folks pockets.

/age

That is testament to how much I have enjoyed the game through out the years.

Not much else needs to be said, other than I will keep on playing.

Why do you not want gliding in core Tyria? What exactly will it ‘kitten up’?

They did announce them.

When I made both my legendaries, the server of Eredon Terrace basicly made both of them. The only thing I did was map completion. Everything else came from donations. But this was back in the days before mega servers (and one of the reasons I was so opposed to them back then). I also did not stream or youtube.

If its a solo journey or group effort is up to the crafter. But the crafter cannot force others to donate.

Have any of you tried playing with BattlePing? Or any other similar program.

Friends of mine that play from south america use it, and do get reduced ping.

Aomine.5012:

Basically any class with minions as shield (this includes necro and ranger) would have a much easier time in HoT map, ESPECIALLY against champions.

I agree that the minion classses do good in soloing HoT maps. But you forgot to add Turret engis and mesmers to that.

I personally use mesmer.

DresdenAllblack.1249:

Dodge….dodge? No? I guess not.

If you had dodged the attack which is slow and plodding by the way, how much damage would it have done?

The damage spike is a reward for the player blocking an attack.

Dodge, Dodge. CoR is on a 2 second cooldown. How many dodges do you have in 10 seconds? How many CoR attacks does a Revenant have in 10 seconds?

The damage is not the problem, its the 2 second cooldown on the skill.

This is exactly what players wanted.

They wanted to salvage the rings, you can now. Player demands and requests originally did not go past that.

I just vendor excess rings, you get enough matrices from the fractal dailies regardless.

I dont see a problem with CoR Damage. To me, the real problem is the 2 second cooldown. Set to to auto attack and win.

Also good for breakbars.

These ‘trivial’ effects are the reason I made the minstrel in the first place. Well, back when I made it, the notes where even less noticeable. (and in my opinion, even more glorious) But to each their own.

Ballitar Stryker.2109:

right, my options were so plentiful in my 1 second fight. I am such a failure. Here’s another thought, don’t make every class where they can one shot anything. less damage per skill and heals take longer to regain them, yes fights would take longer, but then a fight would actually require skill instead of all the single burst bs. What a concept!

Before the PVP burst Meta, there was the bunker Meta. That concept already existed and has evolved.

But there is the one thing I did notice on your screen shot. Your sword three is off cooldown, that would have negated all the damage. (other than the unblockable trap, if he used it)

With PUG groups starting to clear the first boss, raids are already becoming more accessible. Not because they where magically made easier, but the information for the encounters is being made readily available.

Give it time, more groups will find success, and it will be more than 1 or 2% of the games population.

“dungeons are the only reliable source for Empyreal Shards”

So not true. Go capture some camps in WvW or play EoTM. You will be swimming in it.

“Crystal Reid has a message for would-be raiding champions: “We started a bucket collection for your tears.”

That is a direct quote from

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/countdown-to-launch-raids/

This is as easy as its probably going to get.

The way I am seeing this happening:

Current Raid Mode would be Normal/Story.

Add in harder Raid Mode.

Would it be what you asked for? Yes, just not what you wanted.

As a side note, go look at the Raid blogs. Mostly at the areas where the Devs said they wanted to see the tears of players. Mission Accomplished.

Oversight on Anets part. They used to drop from the centaurs in Alpine WvW maps which went bye bye with the HoT launch.

The easiest way to remedy this would be to put the Desert and Alpine BLs on rotation.

Any one else notice that account name?

There was a post made by John Smith, about two years ago when we still had the market forums, that ~40 precursors changed hands every day. While I can not really say about today, I imagine the number to remain about the same.

If your answer is anything other than “use it to make more money” then you now know why you are poor and other players are rich.

I was going to answer the OP, but this has silenced me

You should not let it silence you. Remember this is a game and the way people measure fun is different to each individual.

Another thing to keep in mind, even if you use your liquid wealth as you get it, your overall Networth still goes up.

I dont mean to be rude or condescending, but 1000 gold is a trivial amount, considering many dyes and skins already go for over that.

With the release of HoT and Gliders, Anet decided to make some backskins (Black/White Wings) to double as gliders.

With that in mind, is there any other back skins, that in our opinion can double as Gliders?

The ones that come to my mind are Teq Wings, Both holographic wings, Jetpacks.

Is there any more that we as consumers/players would like to see?

Do we see any negative impacts by adding more backpack skins to the glider skins?

StinVec.3621:

Just got a new build available, no notes yet. I do not think HoT is releasing early, so no clue what the patch is for exactly.

This gives us an hour to patch. The servers wil lgo live at 12:01 PST. So if you finish downloading before that, you wont be able to log in until that time.

I deleted my API key off GW2 Efficiency.

I am glad I have at least nine other friends in game to play raids with. Never having to submit to gear checks or the PUG meta mentality.

That depends if they modify the existing loot tables on the old ones or create a brand new item.

But looking back at old items that have undergone similar changes, (champion boxes with ascended mats comes to mind) they modified the old drop tables.

Yes I will. I find the actual playing of the game to be fun and the reward in itself. That is all that is needed for me.

I cant recall being kicked, but this is about the only reason I kick.

When my group gets a pug, its usually the 5th person. If all four of us greet him and he does not return the greeting within a few minutes, we tend to kick.

If he/she cant even be bothered for two seconds to say hello, how can I be certain they will even bother to presss 1,1,1,1?

Branden Gee.2150:

Anything else you feel like sharing!
Fun fact, during the WvW Adopt a Dev program both guilds that I joined ended up disbanding during the event.

I was ecstatic when you guys did the Adopt-a-Dev Program, even more so when you chose us at [Nob]. It was great to have you along, however short lived it was. It is a shame that we imploded the next week. Thank you for remembering us.

It is great to see/read more about the Human side of Anet and the game that many of us still enjoy.

Raid Hype~

At the moment it is a fair assumption. But we know next to nothing about raids, including how much extra group wide healing will be needed.

After this weekends Beta, we as a community will have a better grasp as to how much extra healing will be needed.

While they said there wont be agony in there, I predict a new gimmick/infusion type that will act as a gate.

Edit*
How many remember the great Gossamer Depression of Ascended Armor? Investing in silk may give people some gold, but its going to be a loss for most people. Prices will inflate then a few will dump supplies and normalize/crash the price.

I would personally keep extras. I had spare blue and green parts for the Tri Color Key. now many months later I got to finish them. The same could happen for this.

Am I the only person that is disappointed that the OP has stopped replying?

But to stay on topic, no not a new tier.

Pay back the days? When did you pay for a subscription/days? A mystery on our hands!

But the problem with your example is that you actually paid for those days. Here, you do no such thing. You only paid to own, and you still own it. Regardless of your exprience.

for sPvP i use the pledge and AT. Buggy, I know.

You have to keep in mind by having Set Stats like in sPvP, you destroy builds that are of Mix and Match stats. If you need a little extra toughness, you can splice in the minimal ammount you need with out dedicating one of your three stats (like sPvP) to it.

Legendary Fractal Back announced, legendary pvp back.

They have already started with the multiple ways to get legendary tier items. Sure, raiding will have one, but I am willing to bet, that with time, there will be different ways to get legendary armor.

Just look at how ascended is now. You can craft it, get it as a drop or purchase (some pieces) with laurels/other currencies. Sure, one way is most efficient, but with precedent already established chances are they will take the same route with Legendary armor.
