Guild Wars 2

Consecrated Ground OP.

Dungeons used to give karma, but instead of nerfing it (which would have been reasonable), they stuck it in and broke it off and removed the karma reward completely.

Fractals and EotM. If you’re lvl 50 and have fractal addict friends, fractals is the way to go.

Idk, I was on my friend’s account with no food, bad gear, and no bloodlust stacks so the fact that I couldn’t full burn her before the terminal was destroyed doesn’t surprise me, but I wasn’t even getting close. I’ve just never seen them spawn immediately and be attacking the terminal before I’ve even finished the first hundred blades.

Was it before the patch today? I did p2 this morning but it was with a full party and Brie melted as usual, and I wasn’t really paying attention.

I just solo’ed Arah P2. Everything normal, until I got to Brie…

The moment I phase shifted and started burning her, the mobs spawned immediately. I left Brie to engage them and lost phase shift immediately. I haven’t solo’ed in a few weeks, so is this brand new from the patch today? Is this a rare bug? Literally solo’ed this path dozens of times and never had this happen.

Entering my name into the drawing. Plz and ty.

Thank you so much to KING for hosting this tournament, and congrats to RtG for a great finals match.

Quick question, I’m guessing no member of the team can enter the Mistlock Observatory until the event starts right?

Huh? What am I looking at in the screenshot? Where is the raptor?

http://i.imgur.com/1gYtJAd.png

Still not seeing the raptor. I need an air traffic controller to direct me to it pls.

http://i.imgur.com/Q6HGmr2.png

Ooh I think I’m almost seeing it, but I think the aircraft controller needs to be turned towards me and giving me a look okittennowledgement to signify that he knows I’m watching where he is directing my attention. I need that reassurance before I can be absolutely certain that what I am seeing is the raptor. Also if he could have an unclothed torso with a 6 pack of abs that would also get my attention better as well.

Wow ack nowledgement is a swear word. Nice.

I regret nothing.

Fixed: http://i.imgur.com/nRKSAda.png

OMG YES! I SEE IT!
Finally. People who actually know how to convey information. Srsly ppl. LEARN from this.

We have the answer: Visual LFG posts.

No more words that people won’t read. Just pretty pictures.

Brb, I have a few people on my Twitter whose photos I could use.

I still don’t understand why any party other than a “derrrrp, HEAVY ONLY” group would roll lvl 38 instead of lvl 37 or 40.

The instability on 37 might as well be “none”. It takes effort to make it proc when fighting trash and it will literally never proc on boss fights since you’re always attacking.

The protection proc on Deep Freeze alone is reason enough not to roll 38. And good luck getting pugs not to whirl or shoot through an ethereal field if you’re running with a mes.

“Fixed a bug that was preventing the Archdiviner from dropping his loot in the final encounter.”

Well it only took 2 years…

I agree the story is great…. it is just too bad the gameplay is horrible. Kinda kills it :/

Normally my LFGs say “All welcome” but now they’re gonna say “No TVH”.

“I’m not TVH, I’m PTV.”

Welcome to hell.

Impale.2503:

There are only Two Rules
You can’t switch character. (You are allowed to relog the same character for repairs)
You can’t use gem store items.

As far as other aspects of fractals, anything goes, so have fun strategizing.

1. Please clarify gem store items. Obviously boosters and costume brawl items (executioner’s axe) would be banned, but does that extend to literally everything? Rez orbs (presumably banned)? Repair canisters?

2. Does anything really go? Taking Mossman for a swim, for example, not all that competitive or entertaining.

If they’re not going to fix (or completely remove) NPCs, they just need to make Honor’s Claw the King of the Dungeons and put him in every path.

Recent story.
Posted an LFG with the usual line (thanks for whoever brought it up):
“solve it before enter: 2+3x2,lvl80,path X”
Dude comes in, say “hahh its easy, 10” and gets the kick ofc. Thats what happened after.

ps: Now i know how djinns can feel. Man these bans are getting longer and longer …

Order of operations OP, plz nerf.

Looks like CoE golem has been fixed

CoE golem has been fixed. It starts “red”, so the activation issue is gone.

What’s the verdict on legit disconnects? Out for the remainder of the run or are you allowed to reenter?

Tree.3916:

Grouch is helping me work out the technical details so swiftpaw can call everyone kittens.

“Guys, GvG was cancelled tonight. Let’s Fractal.”

Normally I’d leave when Bloomhunger takes 7 minutes to die, but when we got Cliffside second I was having too much fun watching them fail at trying to tank and out-heal the Arch Diviner.

Wethospu.6437:

Noah.4756:

The Advanced Golem is definitely bugging out now that he can move. I haven’t done CoE enough after the patch to replicate the bug but I have an indication what’s causing it:

If you approach the room of the Advanced Golem the turrets around him activate. But if you move back before the Advanced Golem is aggro’d (but do have the turrets around him activated) then I believe he bugs out.

Can someone confirm this?

I’ll try this today.

Sins.4782:

I got the impression he only bugged if one person ran in before everyone else. Either way, needs to be fixed, ASAP.

I don’t think so. We waited for spire and all went together and it still bugged one time.

I’d like to see the airship either moved out of Gendarren Fields or a portal to Lion’s Arch added. And lets be fair and give those Royal Terrace folks their daily activity npc.

DigitalKirin.9714:

Fight all three champ undead giants under the Arah p3 ritual tower at the same time. Not even sure if you can pull them all together.

I killed 2 at once. You might be able to get all 3 together but I’ve never tried.

maha.7902:

we were still able to throw her in the trash can in exactly the same spot

We did it with 4, and one was an lvl 63 warrior. Anet, please buff your corner nerf.

My group just tried CoE path 1 twice, and both times the Mark-T golem bugged out and didn’t start. Earlier today we ran path 3 and it started just fine. Anyone else have this happen?

edit: hearing similar reports from other dungeon regulars, so looks like Anet might have bugged the golem.

edit edit: other people are telling me it was working normally. intermittent bug?

Dungeon changes never make the patch notes, cause patch notes for dungeons are too hard to include. Assume its intended and move on. Welcome to dungeon running in GW2.

Stop running bearbow and condi builds. Beyond that, there’s nothing anyone can do to “fix” it. Necro is a lost cause till Anet gives them better utility (which will never happen), rangers are plagued by the overwhelming number of people who play the class poorly, and engis have a bad wrap despite being somewhat useful.

What, exactly, do you want fixed?

Now that LA is being reestablished as the central hub in the game, is there any plan to move the Airship to a location a little less random than Gendarren fields, or can the Helmsman of the Airship please have LA added to his list of travel locations?

My fellow players – Welcome to the free market!

It’s no free market, ‘cause the price for all high priced items are being manipulated by gold sellers and TP guilds (since TP is the easiest way to make money). Even in a “free market”, you’d call this a cartel.

But: As long as someone wants to pay that much gold for a pre, it’s his/her decision. If you don’t want to, then don’t do it.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/bltc/Dusk-2000g/first#post4048636

58 unique buyers. 54 unique sellers. So manipulation. Much wow.

Let’s get one thing straight. Dredge was never hard content. It was boring. Dredge was boring b/c it was tediously long. It is still boring b/c the puzzles are boring. This alternative is 1000% better, so I’m not complaining, but I don’t necessarily think its fun.

Dredge was never hard to begin with. It was just long. It didn’t get easier. It got shorter.

Zaxares.5419:

So you need a copy of the stacking sigil on an equipped land weapon, and a copy of the stacking sigil on an equipped underwater weapon, in order for stacks to persist from one medium to the other?

No. After April 15th you used to be able to keep sigil stacks after unequipping your stacking weapons if you had a stacking sigil on your water weapon. They changed/fixed (however you wanna look at it) that. Only way to keep stacks now is to keep a stacking sigil equipped on your land weapons at all times. Personally I’m moving on. Its too much of a hassle now.

This is the sickest, most deranged, and utterly fabulous thing I’ve ever seen. If I wore a hat, I’d take it off to you.

P.S- Has anyone seen my hat?

With this patch they disabled the use of stacking sigils by having one on your underwater weapon. RIP in peace, max efficiency.

This is so unrewarding its not even funny. Actually, no, it is funny.

Allow me to sum up the BRILLIANCE of this horrible new trait unlock system:

Master of Consecrations- Earn 100% completion in Frostgorge Sound.

An Adept Level (Unlocked at level 30) Major trait is unlocked by map completing a level 80 zone… How is this meaningful character progression? It forces new players to waste skill points they don’t have to unlock important traits that are otherwise off limits because of the unlock requirement. Or, they’ll ignore it until they’re a higher level and can actually unlock it, which hinders build diversity and effectiveness. Most, presumably, will opt for the former option.

What’s the point of this system if so many (not all, but a lot) of the trait unlock requirements make people go, “kitten it, I’ll just buy it from the vendor.”?

Shadow Blade.1324:

Elred.4709:

So it’s really worth it to save up 700-800 gold to get the precursor?

unless you’d rather throw 700-800g in the mystic toilet and get nothing

alternately chances of precursor are meant to increase with the rarity of the items you throw in

so try 4 ascended Great Swords

getting your crafting to the point where you can make those will use up a lot of your T6 mats tho so make sure you do might/ magic gifts first

Except for the part where you can’t put ascended weapons into the mystic forge, and even if you could, there’s no way in hell it would be worth it given the cost.

If you need to destroy unblockable projectiles, do not trait warden’s feedback and take extended glamour duration instead. You can use scholar or ranger runes for this.

I don’t think this makes a whole lot of sense, if there are unblockable projectiles present feedback isn’t likely to do anything that’s super relevant, so keeping 25 in the inspiration traitline seems like a complete waste. I believe you wrote this with alphard in mind, but in tthis scenario it’s often better to just try to get wardens to spawn close to each other, and not use feedback at all.

So in that case I’d say go 6/4/0/0/4, which by the way is what I use as a max non reflect phantasm build, e.g. for the abomination in p2 arah when soloing.

In the case of alphard the feedback is helpful for killing the adds that shoot at you from the outside.

Forgive my mesmer noobishness but which reflect skills do and don’t work against her anchor pull? I always just max melee and stand behind the shiny effects and dodge to be safe.

Feedback?
Wardens (traited/untraited)?
Temporal curtain?

The more I have to deal with it, the more I’m convinced the megaserver idea is the worst thing they have implemented into the game in a long time.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

You have a chance to get ecto(s) from Rares. There is no guarantee you will receive an ecto from salvaging.

I am a bit puzzled how receiving ectos from salvaging impacts any immersion, though.

Pretty sure this is a troll thread. Let me check….

Yup. Definitely troll thread.

You really didn’t think about this aspect of the megaserver, did you Anet?

Doing missions if you have a large guild is completely kittened. Every single mission has had another guild already doing it, and more importantly, we couldn’t get all of our guild members onto the same map for several of the missions.

These are dedicated to my fractal group, and the pugs they force upon me for lower level daily runs.

Poison gas hurts me,
cuts my lungs. Noxious, vile
like crystals, not stacked.

Untraited wardens.
Earth Elemental, titan.
Missing. Still you stack.
