Yeah.. I had a friend on Vent last night trying to finish her, he tried for over an hour before logging off in frustration.

I got lucky, a friend and I did it together, I think it took us 15 minutes. We only managed it because he somehow managed to get knocked into the doorway so the next time she tossed her skill, while I was thrown back (yet again) he was unaffected and able to finish her.

is your friend a 500ap bearbow ranger?

Add me in game please. I need cool friends like you.

Arena net did an amazing job. It’s not their fault that you savages keep bugging their event.

Elrey.5472:

I am trying even now while i type (cutscene unskpabble…) as a warrior.

I can confirm that she will first throw bombs and if you are close the grab and throw you away thing.

1: Staying in left or right walls or in the rock near her dont work.
2: Stability doesnt work.
3: Break stuns doesn’t work.
4: Dodge still doesn’t work to avoid the grab.

I am trying now to use 3 from GS (whirlwind) since i believe if i can make it to her at same times as bombs are thrown, maybe i can get her (not sure if bombs skill prevents her to do her other skill).

Get “Shake it off” “Balanced stance” “Frenzy” “Signet of Rage”.

So what you do is first activate your Signet of Rage and use Whirlwind to get close to her. Once she uses her aoe thing, wait for it to choke you and when she sends you flying you have to use your stun breakers. Use Shake it off and then Balanced stance. Immediately activate Frenzy and stomp her.

PS: Don’t try to get behind her or next to her, it will knock you back.

I was just about to post a complaining thread like this one. You beat me to it.

I whirlwinded in and she stopped shielding

I pick underwater skins to cover my green weapons

Have you seen a jumping quaggan.

Hello. I have a question about people who just match up for tournament games and do nothing. There is one guy that I’ve been matched with for 7 games. He got matched so much with me, he even started mocking me. Is there a way to get rid of that fungus as soon as possible, because I report him every game I see him, but he is still there. Please, I want to play.
Thanks.

I really hate skyhammer. Please remove it or give us an option to disable it.

Sir Kaboomski.1508:

The last time I opened 15 chests I got 1 hairstyle kit and 2 makeover kits.. How did he only get 1 makeover kit out of 500? O_o

I got a precursor from 20 gold worth of rares. How can people not get precursors from 1000+ rares? O_o

I like how people grind for “selfless potion” and then complain how they don’t look right.

Conncept.7638:

It’s going to be so weird if what started as a little two-bit comedic relief character ends up being one of the living story’s biggest heroes.

We all know that Trahearne is going to save us. He did it before.

Vol.7601:

Blame it all on Kiel.

It’s all your fault, Kiel supporters.

That only makes me happy.

#Kiel for life

“about a year ago”

I have 1800 hours on ele and 500 hours on warrior. From what I can see is that my warrior is doing at least 2x the damage my ele is doing while having 5000 more hp. He also seems more useful to other teammates with those banners.

MiniMe.1960:

MidoriMarch.8067:

Nerf warriors best at everything

highest toughness
highest HP
having massive attack damage while extremely tanky + healing signet hp regen OP
having ridiculous mobility that outruns thief
having 20k+ hp and 2600+ toughness while wearing full berserk set having massive attack damage
+ more

I have all professions and warriors are far superior than any other classess while its extremely easy to play u can just facepalm everything in pve/pvp/wvw.

What a bunch of crap, almost everything not true. Get over the books and come again if you have something true to say.

Pardon me, but which one is not true?

Draknar.5748:

There was a guild about to finish their guild rush when the whole map died. They proceeded to get mad at our 11pm group that failed the marionette because it failed their rush, to which of course we wondered why the heck they didn’t come help with the Marionette because we were spamming that we needed more people the entire time.

It actually made the defeat better having them wipe. Their guild helping with Marionette would have undoubtedly seen us succeed, we wiped on Warden 5 but only because of leaks right at the very end. A problem their guild would have aided with greatly.

You see that? This is the kind of gameplay that no one wants. Arena net is forcing people to do their badly designed events that clearly no one bothers testing (talking about wurm and tequatl, but I’ll use marionette as an example). This guild should have a choice: Do we want to do the marionette or do we want to do the guild rush?
They want to do their guild rush (they have a scedule to keep, you know how hard it is to organise guild events.). If they do not do the marionette, they get wiped and fail their event. They get angry and so do the players who failed to do the marionette. Then the conflict arise on who was right and who was wrong. The marionette players will say: “We were more!” and the guild will say: “We do not care about you.”. Both sides will be right. Is Arena net trying to force conflicts against their players?

So my solution is: Make those events more friendly against less players praticipating. You say events are scaling with people, but I can hardly feel that. They always feel as if they are meant to be done by zergs, limited by the map’s player capacity.

I can complain a lot about those events, but I hope you can see my point.

Naekuh.7925:

yes u can ask for refund and dont stop there.

ask for the transmutation crystals you used on the armor to get those back as well.

People have been refunded the 800gems + the cost of 6 transmutation crystals.

I am very upset at the new skin.
We waited so long for a reskin of something which was already in the game.
I thought Anet was going to get real creative, but it is a extreme let down.

Wasn’kitten reskin the first time? Aren’t the 2 other models reskins? What made you think that this one will be unique.

1. Elementalist
2. Engineer
3. Mesmer

Mentor name: Champion Trixie
Active dungeons: AC p1,2,3 ; CoF p1,2 ; Arah p1,2,3 (prefered) ; FotM

Switch to warrior. I did. I’m being happy ever since. My damage doubled, my hp increased, my usefulness in parties also increased.

Evon was rich, was he not? If he wanted to make you happy, he would have sponsored the Abaddon fractal no matter what. He is a kittening miser and he cares not for anyone else but him. He wanted to buy your votes. Also he is a bloody charr.

Glorious Human Master Race.

What’s the point of changing it for everyone if some people can keep it.

neytiri.9105:

Don’t now they spit on us taking back what be bought??!!!! Why your side is taken into consideratioin and we’re just shut up? I’m for the open wide in-game opinion poll. Who knows, maybe couple of hundreds people forces their point of view to other thousands?!

Hm, how exactly do you know that you are the majority? Also they changed it not because we forced them to, but because we told them what they did was wrong. They agreed and fixed the issue.

darkvise.3197:

If in the loot table you have 1 chance on 1.000.000.000 to get a precursor, with magic find 120% you will have 2,2 chance on 1.000.000.000.

2 time a insignificant chance

I got Dawn with 50%

LordByron.8369:

Ykfox.3825:

I for one give kudos to ANet acknowledging they made an oopsie and changing the armor skin. totally disregarding a players Group in wich i am not so i am even more happy seeing people losing gold and gems.

I don t really care of Others and i think that seeing other lose stuff willl be good for me.

I am ignorant and I have no idea what I’m doing here…..

No one is losing anything. You will get the new skin for free or a full refund. The guy is right. It’s cultural armor and it should stay exclusive for humans only.

Stealth thieves: have Shocking aura ready to stun – (particularly those running basilisk venom), updraft, switch to fire, burning speed, fire grab, wait for him to come out of stealth with full hp, die.

Have fun :-)

Fixed.

I have 5 lvl 80 and I finished the story on 4 of them. Working on the 5-th.

Yeah, I prefer to do 5x the damage I do with all my ele skills by pressing 2. Also I enjoy surviving mobs that do 16k damage. I’m having so much fun with my warrior. Too bad I’ve wasted so many hours on that useless thing.

Hey, everyone. We’ve been reading all your feedback about the Flamekissed Armor Skin that was released into the Gem Store yesterday.

Although the Flamekissed Armor uses the same mesh as the Tier 3 Human Cultural Armor, it was not our intention to create an armor skin that so closely matched the existing Tier 3 Human Cultural armor set. The intention was to use the mesh as a basis for creating an armor set that stands apart and is distinct in appearance. However, after reading your feedback, we agree that the Flamekissed armor is not visually distinct enough from Human Cultural Tier 3 armor.

We will do a few things to address this issue.

• We will temporarily remove Flamekissed Armor Skin from the Gem Store.
• Players who have purchased Flamekissed Armor Skin will keep the skin.
• We will make new art for the Flamekissed Armor Skin that achieves our goal of making a visually distinct and attractive armor set and does not closely resemble the Human Tier 3 Cultural armor.
• Once this new artwork is completed, we will then update the Flamekissed Armor Skin so that all existing sets that players have purchased get the new art. We will also offer the Flamekissed Armor Skin for sale again at that time.
• When we update the Flamekissed Armor Skins with the new artwork, any player that has already purchased the set and who does not like the new, updated look, can get a full refund by contacting Customer Support.

Note that there is no ETA on when this change will happen. We need to work with the Character Art Team to determine when we can have a new armor skin ready, and this could take some time.

Thank you everyone for providing your feedback. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know how you feel about the new armor set.

So you’re going to take away something that people bought and enjoy without compensating them fairly. It is great to be a paying customer at ArenaNet.

Looks like someone didn’t read it:

• Those who bought it can keep it for the moment.
• When they update it, it’ll be changed.
• If the player isn’t happy with it, they’ll get a refund.

How is ‘being allowed to keep it or have a refund if you’re not happy’ not fair compensation?

Fair compensation would be guaranteeing that at the end I’m as satisfied with how my character looks in it after they change it as I am now or they give me something else that makes me equally satisfied. if I’d just wanted 800 gold or 10 bucks, I wouldn’t have bought it in the first place.

Unless they’ve got a great plan for this, I don’t see them making up for the money and time I and others spent putting together other things to go with this armor that may or may not match the new armor. And I don’t think they have the pull to get me a day off to start from scratch on a new set even if they did.

There is nothing fair to the people who purchased the gem store armor about this resolution.

You get to wear the armor you liked untill you get a full refund. Want them to come and clean your apartment as well? People like you make it really hard to not use bad language.

Gee, thanks. I can level a character I’d parked because I didn’t have an end-game skin I liked for it until they take away the end-game skin.

Really, wanting to be fairly compensated for something being taken away from me spurs you more to bad language than all the people who demanded something be taken away from someone else who had done nothing wrong simply so they could enjoy having it exclusively themselves?

Acting all “I want more” spurs me to bad language, not your desire for the skin. You should be happy they are giving you a refund, because you deserve nothing.

Everything was nice but #4. I will murder you if you say something bad about her voice actress.

I think you can jump over the shockwaves. Not entirely sure.

Nihilmus.2301:

The Complaint: I’ve spent 38 laurels for my flamekissed (along with all my valuable collectibles from the bank), that’s 28 days of dailyes and a monthly + almost sold one of my 3 rare skins. I bought a new 3 piece cof set worth of 1000 flame legion tokens and reskinned on top of an existing armor (boots, helm and gloves) and added a whole set of runes to it (not extremely expensive but still, as a player who plays every now and then, who struggles for one gold a day it’s rather unfair. My time spent in game after “a year” of gw2 consists of a daily and after several dailyes a rush to finish the monthly.

So what should I expect from this? An update to my flamkissed that will make the original cultural T3 owners wish they did shut their mouth.

What I know will truly happen? I know deep inside ArenaNet will fail the expectations I have for the update. This skin came as a divine blessing after months of trying to figure out a way to get cultural without going completely broke (and destroy my real life after risking to fail my exams). I know what I’ll get in exchange is a Jester Skin, a joke. And as others have pointed out before: No, the gems refund is not enough. You can’t wipe the memories. I will always remember this armor as the best light armor in gw2. Ripping that from me isn’t worth 800 gems nor a million. Owning this armor is as priceless to me as it was for a player who owns the original T3 from back in the day the flamekissed didn’t exist. I share equal compassion for those who got tricked by ANET with the release of the armor, whether it’s the Vintage or New owners but I wouldn’t want to see it all go to waste.

Important: Before I go on I must state that SOME people care so little about their culturals that they actually salvage them. So don’t tell me how much you love them and how much time you’ve spent working on a now salvaged set that you threw away for cheap money for a legendary. Don’t act as if you are part of this, waiting for a new free armor to drop from the sky cuz you regret salvaging yours. And don’t be greedy. This has nothing to do with the ones who actually wear the armor every day and represents to them their best look.

My solution? There is no good solution. For some reasons:
1. Greed: The more people think about the opportunity of making ANET do what they want, the more the people will profit. I agree that all 3 sets are cheap remodels, but I do not agree with the players asking for a rework of all 3 of them. I too want to see ANET release better armor sets in the future and yes, the ones released until now were either lazy or they lacked the fantasy and creativity. (Or perhaps we can’t imagine how hard it is to actually be a game designer/developer?)

2. Three-sided: They won’t be able to satisfy us all. This is in human nature. (yes three, now two, there’s Vintage owners, Flame-Kissed owners and eventually the ones that i.e. didn’t get to buy any of them or made some mistake and didn’t get one of them in time.)

3. Vanity.

4. The gw2 “Purists”, also known as players that play an excessive amount. The hardcores, for short.

What I think could be closest to satisfying the majority:

1. Keep the armor in game and allow access to it for free for people who own the Vintage T3 and the current Flame-Kissed Owners, regardless of race. The rest have to show the coin.
2. Add a new T3 amor for humans that will be accesible yet again for free by only the Vintage T3 owners (by letting them trade-in their old cultural) and purchasable with gold by the rest of the players. (Same price as other culturals). Basically reinvent the cultural while keeping it fair for the owners who maybe like the old model or for the ones who want to keep the flame-kissed. Either way, most people will be pleased. Both old, lucky and new. This method would require creating a new armor from 0. A better armor, something not cheap nor lazy that would restore grace to the current cultural owners.

Note: This might seem like I am trying to shift the potential failure on updating the Flame-Kissed onto the Original but I think the pressure will be higher on ANET to work infinitely more for it since the majority of the players involved own the original. Also, this time, and from now on, they should ask us how to get it done. Step by step. How? Simple. Show us the armor in different steps of development and what alternatives we have and put up a voting system, a simple 5 star rating. Just break down the armor into all it’s components and starting from the gloves, show us 2-3 models of gloves we can vote for and so on until a set is completed that was made piece by piece for the playerbase.

With much love for both those who agree and disagree,
Nihilmus

I demand you give me a refund for wasting my time with your comment. I risked getting hit by a car when I red this, so refunding my time is not enough.

korelg.7862:

so much whining… if you don’t like it, don’t buy it

also, the funniest thing is that Norn look better on the Human tier 3 than the humans themselves xD

If there was a down vote, I would be using it right now.

Welcome to the “Arena net destroyed our cultural armor” club. I wonder who will be next. Charr, norn or maybe asura?

Scarlet is actually Santa Claus and will gift us with infinite dredge and harpy fractals.

Sampo.9678:

Thanks to Kiel we have a Scarlet fractal.
With Evon we would have seen Abbadon eat Scarlet for breakfast.

I’m pretty sure we would have played as Scarlet and 4 illusions to kill Abbadon.

Aedelric.1287:

I heard that Ellen Kiel likes to shoot Quaggans from an airship, something about them being a dangers and needed culling.

You support Ellen Kiel, you support Quaggan blood sports.

Vote Evon 1327!

You support Evon Gnarshblade, you support countless zergs of people standing in straits of devastation, purchasing quaggan tonics.

MastaNeenja.1537:

why do i get the feeling this trailer was made almost a year ago? They didn’t show any upcoming fractals only the original ones.

It was. The video was origionally planned to be released with FOTM itself, but the movie makers coudn’t make it to the release, so they waited for a patch to release it with it.

I heard there was a life outside gw2. Might be wrong.

Please disable combat skills. This game promotes violence.

Razor.6392:

4. Why do people “sell” Arah rewards… is it really that hard?
5. Do berserker builds survive in there?

People are too lazy to do the dungeon, so they prefer to pay to get their tokens. They get a part of their payment back from the daily reward chest.

Neilos Tyrhanos.5427:

NoxInfernus.2361:

All I’m reading here is sour grapes.
Please give it up already. Kiel won, end of story.
Everyone benefited from her election promises, not just the people that voted for her.

Asking for a recall?
What possible “legal” grounds could you justify it? (keeping in mind the nature of LA’s cut-throat politics).

Sour grapes in a cup of bitter tears.

We shall see whether people benefited when the Fractal comes out. The fractal was always the main point of contention, after all (as someone said, a single 10 minute CoF run would pay the entire WP bill for the period, after all).

If the Fractal releases, and the reactor was overloaded by Scarlet or something, then everybody will most definitely not have benefited.

Don’t be ignorrant. This is also true for the Evon fractal. You do realise the same team would have worked on it?
The fractal can also be this way: Scarlet would have created alliance with Abbadon and fail, thus resulting in Abbadon’s death.

Aww. This game needs some creepy areas. Nightmare tower just doesn’t work…

Same thing happened to me. Really annoying.

No need to answer them if they see them and fix them. Though a post here and there from time to time would be nice to show us that they are actually reading them.

It was possible, untill a resent patch. Items are no longer affected by boosters and have been increased by 50%.
