Guild Wars 2

Map timers is not “casual unfriendly” it is consumer unfriendly.

perry.9645:

Week 9 and I got a grand total of 0 ascended drops 0 infusions anybody else having terrible rng?

Did a full clear. 1 red mini guardian, 1 exotic with strength sigil and 1 Berserker Amulet (level SEVENTY EIGHT). At least mini is not a dupe.

I thought someone necroposted :o.

Skipping is a thing even in singleplayer games so there is no point in trying to fight it.
No idea about stacking. I thought it died like 1.5 years ago.

Terkov.4138:

Sure. But I want option to hire cat-eared maid.

Female Miqo’te Charr in a maid outfit hype.

Map point as in +1 point you get at the end of the jp?

Rising Dusk.2408:

It hasn’t been touched, but it’s heavily dictated by RNG. You just got lucky.

That’s some insane rng then. After fractal reward adjustment I get like 3 times more matrices per ring.

I like bundles. I dislike anet bundles. Shoehorning rng dye boxes and irrelevant weapon skins in to bundles just to inflate the price is kinda meh.

Back in the HoT beta someone found a way to remove the popup.
127.0.0.1 s3.amazonaws.com
Add this to your host file. It might break something if you are using amazon but I have not noticed anything yet.

It is under “Upgrades” tab.

DS with exp boosters, fireworks, food and all that stuff gives 1m – 1.5m+ per map. If you are fast enough you can even try to push 3 lines at the same time and get even more exp.

Works fine for me. I am in EU.

Iris Ng.9845:

About 30-50 g for VG depending on how fast and how many slots you can spare.

Per person maybe, can’t see anyone selling a raid spot for 30-50g.. That would mean everybody gets 3-5g each.

Not that bad since you get 4 gold per boss lol.

Wait what? There is story? You mean this https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spirit_Vale#Dialogue couple lines of dialog? I don’t think there is a point to rework whole wing just to make couple one liners more accessible. Not until whole raid is out anyway.

People are crying because game is not pay 2 win. Amazing.

Dommmmmmmmmm.6984:

15g a week happened

That’s with double reward bonus. Even with 66% dungeon reward nerf they are still more rewarding than raids.

Actually the people who designed those dungeons left the company, so technically #2 is wrong.

I’m not thanking the people that did them, but the company that hired them.
If a company loses a team responsible for one of its products, it’s their responsibility to find replacements, not throw it into a corner and pretend it never happened.

So again.

Thank you Anet for taking such good care of your product.

They dident lose them, they fired them so that kinda states they dont want to fix said content.

How do you guys know the dungeon creators quit or were fired?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Robert_Hrouda

And people say that there are no “thank you” or appreciation threads.

Nay in it’s current state.

For me it was 61, 75 and 94. Everything else was at least sort of playable.

Matisse.9356:

Just to be precise: They said that the changes to fractals will hit in December. They didn’t say which day during this month. In other words: 31st is still December.

And to be even more accurate: They didn’t mention which time zone. So it’s December until January, 1st HAST.

In other words: Honolulu, we are watching you!

Well they also did not mention the year. This is a patch for the instanced pve so anything can happen.

A merchant express.

Gimli.9461:

What on earth are fractal leaderboards, and why’d you lock a legendary behind a leaderboard? :O

No one knows. They tried to make them 2 years ago or so but later abandoned the idea because it is very stupid. And now they want to make them again because why not.

Lets hope that this mysterious December patch will fix everything HoT managed to break.

Legendary fractal backpiece is locked behind fractal leaderboards so I guess they are not in the game yet.

@OrionXnAsh https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ad_Infinitum Wiki has the recipe.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Raids aren’t meant to be pugged in the first place.

Can someone please point me to a post or blog that has a Dev saying this? I’ve never found it. Also you all should be scared if this is truely the case.

People probably are referring to this https://youtu.be/1FUkGRxuxV0?t=6m31s

thisisit.6954:

Better still, why don’t you learn to program, then you take a “couple of hours” and do it for them?

If only MMO devs could go full Bethesda…

Well you triggered all his traps at the same time and then got hit in the face by gs 2. Combat log is pretty normal.

Nice. 2 out of 6 pve missions are disabled just because.

Malediktus.9250:

TheRandomGuy.7246:

Took our 5 man group around 50 minutes. ~40 minutes for 1 boss. Canach’s break bar mechanic completely bugged out so we had to brute force it with direct/condition damage.

It does not bugged out. The incredible break bars seem to be part of the extreme mode. We used 3 tornado ele and a chronomancer for timewarps to break his breakbar.

If it is true than it is worst boss design I have ever seen.

@Orpheal Personally I have not noticed anything fancy. Only difference from normal mode is bug-like boss behavior and their toughness/vitality skyrocketing to absurd values. I would recommend to bring some condi damage with you and some condi clensing skills. Lots of confusion and instant 20 stacks of burning are very common.

Sven Bow.1826:

That’s what I thought but I’ve redone 50 twice.

Your personal fractal level just stuck at 50? Never heard about this bug before.

Ayrilana.1396:

With how it’s set up, I don’t see this happening. Fortunately, it can easily be done solo.

I get that it can be done solo. This isn’t about beating it though. It’s about a group of friends that really enjoy playing this content together. It’s a good evening for pals on TS playing tower defense and cracking jokes.

They apologized that they messed it up last year and I was hoping that apology was going to lead to them fixing it. If it isn’t going to get fixed, that’s fine. It would be nice to know though. Last year they said everything was going to be exactly the same as 2013 and sadly, that just wasn’t the case.

Oh? I thought it was intentional last year.

They disabled it because it caused some problems in pvp.

Recognizing sarcasm is really a lost art.

It is almost impossible with gw2 forum.

Do fractal 50 and your personal level will increase. It’s not a bug.

Phoebe Ascension.8437:

It’s especially annoying with the colossus (giant), that bows before he leaves (takes a while to get reward there).

Jade Maw is even better. You kill it, grab the chest, all mobs are gone and you just sit there and wait.

If timer running out is your main problem then something is really wrong with party comp or builds. Or mechanics are not that easy after all.

There are no cons really. I saw “people will kick players that do not want to improve” listed as a con in the past. This pretty much sums up the “opposition”.

Nova Stiker.8396:

This is a thread about the zerker meta staying around despite ArenaNet saying they want to limit the viability of zerker gear.

Nova Stiker.8396:

So far there is no possible way to beat the first two bosses without more than half your team in zerker armor. The other half in vipers/sinisters.

I like how they want you to click the link when in-game mail has no link support.

dlonie.6547:

Even I can’t find anything to complain about with it :-P

Yes, No, Sarcastic, <Question> in almost all dialogs.
No skill checks in dialogs (only charisma).
Wtb dialog overhaul mod.

Skoigoth.9238:

Hmm, weird, I was never under the impression that anet has a problem with the “zerker meta” in particular, yet a lot of people seem to think they do. Did I miss something?

1 dev said that “berserker not gonna cut it” few months ago. People heard “trinity is coming to gw2” but in reality it was “direct damage will not be effective everywhere”.

I played BDO on russian servers for few weeks. Reminded me of eve online a bit. Player interaction is very good but general pve is meh. I hope they will adjust cash shop for b2p model.

Holly potatoes. I guess raid team is “a bit” upset right now.

Fractal collection still bugged. Fix plox.

SkyShroud.2865:

Will it fix all the gameplay bugs that are complained vastly by the players or it will just only contain raid content?

After enjoying Guild Missions in the last few weeks.
My best guess is, it will mostly contain raid content, include a few bug fixes and introduce a lot of new bugs.

So optimistic^^ But yeah, the guild missions have been… Interesting. A whole new level of challenging content when trying to debug the missions to get rewards.

And a challenge to patience waiting for Rush to finish before you’ll get your rewards. Nothing like sitting on your kitten for 15+ minutes.

At least you could sit on your kitten. Half of my guild had to run in circles at the last checkpoint. Our rush should have failed but instead it finished and everyone got their chest. Even people that did not participate.

It is not a gemstore item so probably not gonna happen.

logan.5846:

Have you ever heard of a developer actively dissuading players from playing established and functional content? Its unprecedented, at least to me.

John Smith.4610:

Is the intention to deincentivize dungeons?
Yes

I got it even after party member got hit by a laser so I have no idea.

Ranatoa.4869:

Suppression usually only kicks in if you are repeating the same thing over and over, at least in my experience.

Problem with this is that when you are trying to coordinate something you usually end up saying similar things couple of messages in a row. Stuff like “x move to y”, “b move to z”, “z needs help, x move to z” gets suppressed very quickly but if someone decides to discuss a sex life of someone’s mother it gets through all filters and can continue for hours even if reported.

Tree.3916:

Why do’t you just write down on a piece of paper that you got the achievement.

Will it give me 1 core game mastery point, 5 AP and a random gold fractal weapon skin? Sounds like an easy workaround.
