Guild Wars 2

Grandmaster Traits are unlocked with level 80.

Wasn’t that changed about a year ago?

Skill challenges are locked for new accounts until a character reaches level 13.

Penric.3458:

If one purchases this, is it for all characters?

Yes

So I can delete the posts from everyone who disagrees with me?

That’s interesting. The German version of the news states that Guard Killer and Defense Against Guards are going to be base effects once the player reaches wvw-rank 100 and 200.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

Please keep in mind that WE haven’t announced a release date, so any dates you see listed by retailers are just their placeholders, guesses on their part.

No

Blind on stealth will be a grandmaster. Taking it and Shadows Rejuvenation at the same time won’t be possible.

That would make condition builds even weaker in pve.
For example a condi thief would be completely useless against an undead enemy.
Out of curiosity why should spiders be immune to blind?

It affects all classes.

It should start in about 42 minutes.

This one?

The exotic Essence of Luck is needed for two items.
Otherwise it is just a convenience to reduce the amount of clicking required to consume them.

Yes

The skills are tied to the legends and the energy system.
Therefore no.

Could become dangerous if one is careless. Fortunately the revealed lasts only 1 second if I read the tooltip correctly.

You are unlocking skills and skins with them.
Probably no.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Let’s be clear:

Q: Is the expansion “buy to play”?
A: Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns is a paid expansion to Guild Wars 2, but once you buy it, there are no subscription fees. This means that you can continue playing and access future updates for Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns with no subscription fee.

“Paid” in this context means money, not gems.

Yes. Every skill with a cooldown will get the faster recharge rate.

Most likely the Defense Against Guards upgrade.
Rank 8 is
Gain Retaliation for 10 seconds when you negate damage from guards, lords, or supervisors This effect can trigger only once every 20 seconds.

Tragic Positive.9356:

I wasn’t able to step into action the other day…
… Is there a source where can I read/watch back through all of the changes?

The team depends on the colour your server has in WvW. Depending on the position of the server and rng three weeks in a row with the same colour is nothing unusual.

Dodging without evading an attack won’t trigger it.
As far as I understood the trait triggers if you get the Evaded message on your screen.

Infusion of Shadow was merged with Shadow’s Rejuvenation and changed to grant 1 initiative every three seconds while stealthed.

I stand corrected. I completely forgot about Patience.

DanteZero.9736:

Turamarth.3248:

DanteZero.9736:

grants vigor when using a skill that evades (which doesn’t include dodging).

“Gain vigor upon successfully evading an attack.”
That includes dogding.

I thought they said that regular dodging wouldn’t trigger it?

They said that random dodges would no longer trigger it and used Flanking Strike as an example of what would trigger it if the skill was used to evade an attack.

Ragnarox.9601:

Burning will be lower.

CONDITION DAMAGE reduction: bleed and torment: 38.8% ||| poison and burning: 60% ||| Confusion: 84.6%

All those ppl thinking we got buffed are wrong. We got wrecked.

Source?

Steinpilz.5078:

Is there perhaps a video that shows this trick?

Is the blind on stealth really that important for D/D?
Don’t forget that you now have the 50% damage reduction in stealth as a minor trait in SA.

Working as intended. The application of conditions doesn’t cause revealed.
As to no counter you can walk out of the caltrops. It can be certainly annoying but it isn’t dangerous.

I think you need to be a bit more precise which classes can do that.
On my engineer using Smoke Bomb with Throw Mine, Supply Crate or Big Ol’ Bomb resulted in revealed. Using a Detonate Turret skill didn’t cause revealed which is consistent with the way stealth works since the damage didn’t come from me.

Azure Fang.8605:

Placing certain content behind level walls, like the wardrobe, daily achievements, and downed state, is terrible.

According to the wiki the wardrobe doesn’t need to be unlocked. You just get information about it with level 6 and 31.

Sir Black.7423:

No.
We had the same kind of stuff happening leading up to the original release of GW2. Some sites started listing speculative dates and such, possibly just because they needed place-holders in their databases.

Until you see information officially from Arena Net themselves, anything else cannot be relied upon to be correct.

That is part of the April Fools’ Day.
You can turn the sepia effect off by deactivating postprocessing in the options and the sounds by reducing dialogue volume.

JonPeters.5630:

It appears something in this patch has broken a lot of the skill timing on live. We are looking into this and will get a fix to live as soon as we know what happened. Thank you for all of the detailed reports, hopefully they help us track down the source of this issue ASAP.

Thanks for your patience,

Jon

As was said the posture of the characters, the sound and the sepia effect are part of the April fool’s joke.
Tomorrow those are gone.

Maybe this can help.

It’s a glitch that happens when you post LFG ads with any other status other than ‘online.’ I used to b*tch about this a lot around a year ago.

Any time I’d have status as either ‘invisible’ or ‘away,’ my LFG was using the opposite region’s and I’d have to apologize to any parties I joined only to get prompted with a network error.

Restarting the client fixes the issue when it happens but make sure you keep the status on ‘online’ otherwise the problem will persist.

If you are using the streaming client deactivate it.
That fixed the custom music for me after the 16/03 patch.

Far better than the bobbleheads last year. Thank you Anet.

Wait a bit more.

F.A.Q.
Q: I’ve never beaten the Personal Story step “Victory or Death” because it required me to play in a group. Are you making any changes to the final fight against Zhaitan?
A: Yes. With this release, we are changing a few things about the final Personal Story step “Victory or Death.” For starters, the instance has been modified to support 1–5 players so you will no longer need a full party to complete it. We have converted the story mode of “The Ruined City of Arah” dungeon to be a Personal Story step, so after this update goes live, you may only play it once as part of your Personal Story. We are also unlocking the explorable mode of this dungeon by default so access will no longer be gated by story mode completion. We are also updating the Ruined City of Arah Dungeon Track to be unlocked by story mode or explorable mode completion. Additionally, the “Master of Arah” achievement is being updated to only require completion of story mode paths. Please note that the core gameplay and structure of this story instance has not been changed—the difficulty has been adjusted to allow for solo play and will therefore be more accessible for players.

I can confirm that Battle and BossBattle playlists don’t work while using the streaming client.

You can convert gold to gems or you join someone who has them unlocked and play through the missions together.
The second method won’t unlock achievements and won’t give rewards if I’m not mistaken.

Scam. Report and delete.
