Where 2nd and 3rd add up can’t even cover 30% of the map. The rest is tpvp at one location, struggle thru that one point. Fun?

ok for example, I saw a post saying that Tarnish Coast is a RP server. The whole game is role-playing. Unless he meant RIP.

Recently, I keep seeing blah blah server is RP. I just have no idea what that is.

Zoom out more

Especially in dungeon and down state. Not to mention to fight a boss in a small room with so many obstacles. I want to zoom out to like I can see the whole room from vertical axis, so I need not to worry about my camera getting blocked when viewing horizontally.

Dungeons are too easy.

But the majority of will not be willing to do it if the increased amount of difficulty = amount of time spend. (ex: 3 hrs) Some people just don’t want certain class or inexperienced people to join. They simply bothered to teach others. They think of “others” as wasting their time. Of course one would think its getting boring because you do it all the time. Think about casual players. Some people would just won’t accept pugs at all. Please be considerate before you complain dungeons being easy.

Phase Retreat changed

It no longer just tele you backward, it actually poofs you away randomly wow. Though I miss the old one, but this new one is not bad either. It actually gets you away from melee mob. I’m getting used to this.

Kicked from group for being too low level

I’m used to it, but mine is not about the level, its about being the certain “not dps not tank profession.” I block those LFM leaders as if they don’t even exist because I don’t even wish to be in the same group ever again. I can always meet with new smart nice people anyway.
However as for myself, I would wait til around level 60 to start doing dungeons. Gear up a little nicer wouldn’t hurt. Those dungeon gears require lvl 80 anyway.
Dungeon mobs are really hideous when I first encounter them, so I actually wait until lvl 70 to do my second dungeon run.

So, is the scepter viable to you now?

Usable but not useful. I’m still waiting for main hand pistol.

Need some guidance for Arah

So apparently this is the most difficult dungeon, but I still want to try it. I went there once and got wiped by the Giganticus Lupicus in phase two when he randomly charges. Running around in that room was a pain. I played a mesmer by the way.

Questionable recent change with Subject Alpha

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

I don’t know if its just me or Anet did something sinister here. It’s harder to deal with alpha than before.

Path 1: subject alpha only uses Vertical Earth Spike now, and it’s very FREQUENT. It’s an instant cast skill, 90% of majority would not be able to even see that one coming. I remembered this one will also use AoE earth spike.

Path 2 ice blast vs. AoE earth spike: I used to tell the difference between them, but now I don’t. I remembered when using ice blast, the ground will have actual ice crystallizing, but now the ground have some little and not very visible small crystals. Before, I can avoid ice blast by moving to the outer circle, but now no longer safe.
If I’m correct, when the ground is like a snowy field, that means it’s AoE earth spike.
And what killed me is when both showed up at the same place, which the snowy field is the only visible one, so of course I stay inside.

After those changes, path 1 now needs AoE healing class to stay alive while constantly being hit by vertical ES. I wouldn’t say front door is easier, but definitely not harder than the sub for now.

It’s been at least 2-3 weeks since I notice the changes, or did I miss some path notes?

If turret can be recreate w/o the need to destroy or pickup

in Engineer

I love the turret build, but it also annoyed me at the same time. In order to recreate the turrets, I need to:
1. Destroy or pickup
2. Wait for cd
Sometimes I just forgot to pick it up.
Rifle turret’s cd is okay, but the flame and net turret takes long time to re-use. I don’t think it’s really necessary for cd to tick in after its been destroyed/picked up.
Overcharge skills aren’t that useful too.

SIgnet of Inspiration?

I’m not sure, but as long as it activate 10 seconds AFTER the combat, it’s garbage.
I remember in BWE, I use to get random buffs even when I stay in town.

"Mesmers do crap DPS" True or False (Not a rant by me)

We are not dps class, so I don’t understand why that ranger wants you to kill the crystal. Experienced player should know that condition dmg is also important when fighting this boss because of the regen, and we mesmers are doing fine on the condition part.
Crystal isn’t the issue at all. Focus too much at it makes killing boss take forever. We usually just ignore crystals instead.

I never liked the greatsword, is it really any good?

Personal preference that’s all. I use both.
To me, my offensive weapon is GS. Staff is more of a support than defensive weapon.
Staff’s condition dmg is pretty awesome. I use it for long term fight. GS for pure dps and quick skill. You don’t have to choose “between” them.

Need a better range main hand

in Mesmer

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

In general, I hate scepter. I want it to be deleted, and give mesmers the ranged one main hand weapon that actually deals an appropriate damage.
I love my pistol and iDeulist. I want to keep my pistol at all time, but I find it almost impossible to do so. Mesmer is not a dps class already, and scepter#1 just made it worse. Sword is okay, but I prefer not to melee most of the time.

What I love about mesmer is that he can summon all kinds of phantasms, but this is just a drawback for me.
I often scream in my head, "Oh shoot the bolt already! " when using the scepter because it’s sooooooooooo slow.

Pugs vs. Patience

It’s about Cof path2 the boss fight:
Ok, I know what to do. I’ve encounter people who prefer kill the acolytes “at the same time”, and people who just “run in and kill it” on random. Both were successful, and maybe there’s 5 minute difference.
But I just met a very interesting group of people in CoF path2. Everything is smooth until the Flaming stone boss part. I’m a mesmer, and I thought people know I am not the dps type profession. Everyone just ran it start killing acolytes without a single word. Right in the middle of killing acolytes, someone yelled, “Stop killing. Wait for it. We kill it at the same time.”
So I standby, wait for that guy’s order, and start to kill it again.
Then he yelled again, “Don’t kill.” I was so confused atm, but I stopped. About 10 seconds later, I was being directly ask why I did not kill it while the “Don’t kill” was the previous message.
We started the “At the same time” again, and this time Baelfire decided to fear the heck out of me. It made me run away several times. Amazingly, no one helped me to kill acolyte. Then the leader called me a nub, and I replied,
“omg stop complaining and help me.”
Still, none came to help me even though they’ve already killed theirs. 10 seconds later, I got kicked.
At the time, the boss had less than 30% of its hp.

I find it ridiculous that people want it challenging as being hard, but still don’t have the patience for it. It’s so hard to do a decent dungeon run these days.
