Noone forces you to build the new legendaries as fast as possible. It wont kill you if it takes 6 months

the point is… If I am TRULY supposed to be allowed to “play my way” which has been the GW2 Mantra since launch then why time gate something so badly?

Take for instance ascended… if you TRULY want to you can bypass the time gate by buying the materials BUT if you must go with the time gating a full set of armor worst case for celestial is like a month… That’s somewhat reasonable.

To put something like new legendary weapons behind that much grind that realistically unless you are jobless and lifeless you more than likely won’t get one for MONTHS.

And for someone with a job/school/life, we are fine with not having a legendary for months. We’re happy to play whatever content Anet creates for us to have fun with.

There are a lot of contents in game, so that nobody is forced to do one thing only. World completion, World bosses, Dungeon, Fractals, Raids, PvP, Guild missions, the list go on and on. Legendary crafting isn’t on my top list of thing to do, unless I want to get one in the future.

Before HoT, “OMG! It’s gonna take too much works and time to get new legendary, let’s play how we want!!!”

After HoT, “OMG! We have nothing else to do, the game has so little content, I’m bored!!!”

You guys forget that these coming changes are options in game. They do not require anyone to do to it to have fun. It’s there for players who wants to have more stuffs to do in game.

So much denial it’s unreal, if you want yesmen goto reddit please, that way you can censor out if you don’t want to read criticism.

I don’t know man, no one has a reason to be in denial because we have no clue how many phases the boss is completely and no one does. We have little to no information, we have 4 encounters to face in the first wing and no one has beaten the 1st boss within the 4 bosses we face. I’ve played the encounter, it was quite fun and only got Vale Guardian down to 93%, wiped and crashed from the UI bug. Yeah, I see your reddit link, someone got him down past 50%, awesome but do we even know if it has more phases afterward? No, we don’t at this time . We will have to see how it plays the rest of the weekend, if we even get to play it at all.

Our squad got the boss down to 75%, then all 3 trash mobs coming back at once. We did not have time to continue after that due to Squad UI was disabled again. So I believe there are more phases during this boss fight. I hope Anet will fix the Squad UI completely tomorrow

You only do one (easiest out of 3 since you only need to dodge the red circles) trash mob in this raid and you think they all are easy You should get a full raid and try to do the real boss in there, then you will see how things get real in each phase.

We got to the boss at the end, then wiped on 2nd phase when all 3 mini bosses coming back. We would continue to try again if Squad UI isn’t disabled during that. Well, from what I see from the raid, it’s worth every cents I spent on this game. Keep it up Anet!

I wish I seen this thread before I tag up to see if Anet has fixed the Squad UI or not. Now I’m unable to play the game for awhile XD

After playing the game for 3 years, it’s worth every cent i spent on the core game. With this expansion, I know i’m going to enjoy playing the game again for at least couple more years

I got this error with Squad UI:

“The player or channel cannot be found. Code =3008:1009:1:1709:101”

I can’t make beta character either.

The achievement isn’t bugged, you probably did not do it correctly. To get this achievement, you must not get burned by fire, not get downed during the encounter or not get attacked by the oozes.

This is really short sighted. I urge Anet to change this plan slightly.

Many guilds, including mine, do guild mission nights every Saturday after reset. Some people in my guild (including my wife, who is a guild officer and runs these events) plan their entire day around “Saturday is Guild Night.” By pushing this back, you are making it impossible to do our biggest weekly event. Kicking the game’s social community in the shins is not going to go over well.

Instead, it would be better do do a double reset, on Satruday as normal, then at the new time on Monday. This will result in more rewards for some people, but that is a very small price to pay for allowing guilds to keep their current schedules.

Just postpone the guild missions one week. You still get it done but it’s not at reset. I don’t understand what the big issue is. Reset still happen on Monday. Get your Guild Missions done before Monday.

The issue is we have to cancel our biggest event for a week. This is when we are all online, get together and do the missions, then break up into dungeons, fractals, pvp groups, etc. It is THE time of the week for hanging out in our guild. Some people in our guild ONLY come for this social event – they will never hear about this change until it’s too late, pizza and beer in hand, only to discover noone else is online.

You guys don’t have to cancel your guild mission event lol the reset will happen on Monday, and you guys are still able to hold guild mission on every Saturday after this week.

Snowbline, I hate the ele boss on lvl 50 <//3

Posting a video of you solo the spider boss when it’s not moving and you just range from afar doesn’t tell how good or bad you are.

Normally when joining a pug group, people post “Exp” or “Relaxed” run. If you join an exp group and you don’t know the whole thing very well, people might get frustrating and kick you. If you want to learn about the dungeon, you should join relaxed run or make your own run, then nobody will kick you.

What could you possibly fill 12 bank tabs with?

I can see it happening easily. I’d be in the same boat as the OP, if it didn’t go the more economical rout of buying character slots to use as mules.

OP, you should really consider using mules. Much higher space/gem ratio if you fill them up with the cheap 20-slot candy corn bags.

I do that plus I have personal guild banks and it’s really frustrating that I have to go through 4-5 characters to find 1 thing. that frustration inspired this post in the first place :’(

I can help you with an idea to organize your bank, personal guild bank, alt better.

Reg bank: put any important items that you need mostly when you play

Personal Guild bank: put all important items that you don’t use it often, most valuable items, ect.

Alts: put all the crafting mats, Ascended rings, fractal skins, ect

Most importantly, delete any item that you never use again. If it has no value, say bye bye to it!

Hope you can organize your stuff better with the idea

12 bank tabs ain’t enough for you, seriously? I played since launch and I only kept 2 full tabs. You don’t need to keep all the stuff, throw them out or put in personal guild bank or your alts.

Starcraft 3 confirmed!

You are no different than them. You post complains about the people who complain the game

Did you get a lot of T6 mats?

As a dedicated key farmer, this hurts really bad. Despite the grind and bad luck, it was, at the very least, an alternative. Like others have said, Anet is unlikely willing to give us a straight answer to the reasoning behind this change, and it’s sad they’re still employing time gating as a quick fix to a problem that they’ll sweep under the rug: never forget Continue Coins or players having their karma boosters removed for no given reason. With all of these frenetic, unexplained changes, I have extreme reservations about using the gemstore or even playing the game beyond getting my daily metrics treat – what’s the point if my accomplishments will be rendered useless on a whim?

In any case, looks like it’s time to add another column to Spreadsheet Wars 2.

I don’t understand why some people upset about this change. Key farming was not what Anet wanted in GW2. They designed the personal story reward as a bonus to your story completion. If players want keys, they should buy gems (or convert gold into gems) then purchase keys on the gem store. Period.

Farming black lion key wasn’t what Anet wanted to happen in the first place. You cannot compare it to dungeons, SW, events farming in GW2. They changed the way we can obtain the keys to let us know that they did not design the personal story reward for us to farm keys. However, players still kept doing it after the change, forcing Anet to make another change today.

I’m not a lazy person if I don’t want to farm black lion keys. I just simply support what Anet is doing. If I want keys, I just buy gems with real money.

It’s good that they stop the key farming. I saw a clip on youtube that someone farmed 1000 blacklion keys, that’s just crazy lol

I’m having the same problem. I just ran Fractal 50 last weekends, no 41-49, and did not receive my daily bonus chest at the end of the runs. I contacted customer support and they told me to report a bug in-game and on the forum. Please help!

Aberrant.6749:

Instead of save yourselves on guard, use Hallowed Ground. You want to keep as many people up as you can even if they miss the waves and it’s a fire field (you can’t crit him so the fury is wasted… you’re not running around that much so swiftness isn’t an issue etc. etc.) Use a staff to empower buff/heal then back to your main weapon for dps asap. Don’t be one of those bodies people need to revive or a corpse that needs to wp and run back.

Thanks for the tip Aberrant! AARM will set up a guild zerg today, the result will be posted tonight.

Hello guys,

Yesterday, Tarnished Coast players had defeated Tequatl a few times (some close attempts.) I was lucky to be there to observe the entire fight, and I learned a few things. I just want to share from what I learn, so others can use it to defeat this challenging boss.

The entire fight has 2 phrases (Rinse and repeat until the boss dies)

Phrase 1: Stacking and dps

1 Main Zerg (you only need one commander tag for this phrase to gather everyone on the boss)
2 Turret Groups: 3 people on each side of turrets (6 total). You also should assign two full parties to defend the turrets, one on each side.

The main zerg should stay near the front foot (right foot of boss, your left, and not too close in melee range) of the boss and stack tightly on the commander. The benefits of stacking on the commander is that you can get a lot of healing, boons and cleansing. If you go down, people around you can get you up quickly.

Guardians need to use Wall of Reflection (pop it anytime it’s up), Stand Your Grounds (to avoid the waves), Hallowed Ground,and Tome of Courage (to heal.) You can also use staff to empower (might) and heal the zerg.

I was on my guard so that was what I did during the fight. I notice that elementalists and engineers can drop a lot of healing and cleansing on the zerg to keep everyone alive. Warrior can use shouts and Battle Standard to rez down players (make sure you get the down players up as quick as possible.) Everyone need to keep buffing might to get 25 stacks. Also Food and Nourishment are a must if you want to do more dps during the fight.

During this phrase, Tequatl sometimes spawn Fingers around the zerg, everyone needs to kill the one closest to the zerg. Also if you are down in the water, you should look for the light above and swim back up, then return to the main zerg right away.

Turret Groups need to keep spamming skill #2 on those turrets. If you fail to do so, Tequatl will summon a wall bone. It will slow down the dps on the main zerg, because they will have to turn around and attack that bone wall. If you are being attacked by the mobs, you need to let the defense group know right away.

At 75%, 50% and 25%, Tequatl will go into the transition phrase.

Phrase 2: Defending the Batteries and Megalaser.

Before the fight starts, you should assign 4 people to turn on 4 commander tags during this phrase (including the commander with the main zerg.) Divide your main zerg at beginning into 4 groups, so they know which commander they should follow during Phrase 2.

All commander will have to defend the Batteries (3 total) and one Megalaser (to shoot down Tequatl.) Make sure each side has enough people to defend, otherwise it will fail. Depends on how well your defense is, you should return to the original location in Phrase 1 within last 10-15 seconds.

When the Megalaser is activated, Tequatl will be shot down and stunned on the ground for a very short period of time. Everyone needs to focus dpsing the boss as much as possible. After this, It goes back to Phrase 1 and repeats 2 more times until the boss dies.

I learned that communication is very important for this fight. If you’re not on voice chat, please let the others handle the set-ups, turrets and commanding the zerg. Also please use map chat and say chat to let the pugs know what to do.

If you die from the fight, please waypoint and run back right away. The more dps we have, the faster we can kill the boss.

This is just my observation from the fight. If anyone has more ideas to add, please feel free to post your comments in this thread. Thanks for reading this thread.

haha IRON cowardly ran away for OOC during gvg. That’s legit in SoR i guess, they got too many people to hide behind while fighting anyway XD

Sir, have you not seen any other GvGs? like you are allowed to move
jheeze learn the rules, your a great GvG team just dont cry over us spreading out more than you

I haven’t missed any GvGs during last few months. IRON was the 1st guild I witnessed that ran into the spectators and the wood to stay out of combat. You understand that you be safe while hiding behind the spectators, that’s not strategy, that’s cheating haha

haha IRON cowardly ran away for OOC during gvg. That’s legit in SoR i guess, they got too many people to hide behind while fighting anyway XD

Pre-events are going on @ Tarnished Coast server. Need help! Thanks!

Gather a lot of rations and hide. That’s how you win this mini game lol

I got 5 tickets from 200+ farmed crates. Cheers!

Hello guys,

I’m currently working on my Twilight and need some Crystalline Dust, Vicious Claw, Elaborate Totem. If you’re interested in trade them for my Armored Scale, please contact me in game. Thanks for your help!

This is absolutely legit, I was on Gate of Madness Borderland map when this happened. Our group just fought against a thief, near the Southwest gate of the garrison; suddenly she just does the whirlwind attack and fly into the air. I did not take the SS because i was shock of what happen. Hope GM look into this issue and take action against the person/group that hack WvW.
