Guild Wars 2

It is once per day per account, but there are 4 mushrooms in the game, one in each map. So you can get 4 per day.

As far as I know there are people who park their alts at rich nodes and just log on them from time to time to gather and relog. Those types of people appear ‘out of thin air’ and vanish just the same cause they logged, gathered, relogged, changed character, gather etc etc

I love bots, they make stuff cheap on the TP for me to buy cause I’m too lazy to gather them myself :P

Do you also like people who steal cars or whatever, because then you can buy them
cheaper there ? Most bots run on stolen / hacked accounts, so if you like them you
support account stealing.

Personally i also hate these bots especially since its my primary source of earning gold
so low prices are bad for me.

ANet should finally found a receipe against the whole glitching under the map stuff.
In EQ2 whenever that happend for example, you were just falling for 5-10 seconds
and then there was a message that it was detected and you were ported to a save
spot.

How is it my fault that people use same passwords for everything, their ignorance when registering to suspicious sites that offer free stuff and don’t use for example mobile authentication?

Just like any other smart person I use such things to my adventage without breaking any rules. My best friend was hacked and I don’t blame the people who did it, I blame him for using the same thing for everything and registering the same way on some very very shady sites.

So yeah, I don’t support hackers, but I’ve got nothing on botting. I’ve reported/screenshot my fair share of hackers that I saw, but as a person who never gathers nodes, cause that’s boring as all hell, I never get the chance to screenshot those bots. I’m just satisfied to see the prices on the TP fall down to a somewhat understandable price cause the TP lords rule it all.

Not like it matters, people will still use outfits :P

Yeah, it is a game. It is meant to be fun. And for me the fun comes from immersive things. When I get into the universe that the developers made in this world of theirs. Cause I’m big on lore and such things. Adding things that simply don’t fit in this universe just to make a quick buck (almost as bad as breaking the 4th wall) make a huge issue to me. If you want wings go play Aion, if you want sci-fi there is that Star Wars mmo.

Collapse cause of Iron Ore? Hardly.

And it’s not great for new players, it’s great for everyone who is at least somewhat smart. I’m playing since pre-purchase and I love the bots who lower the prices of items on the TP.

The only hard that bots can do is hurt the massive income of people who play the TP to get rich. Now with bots active they can’t do their job as easy.

I love bots, they make stuff cheap on the TP for me to buy cause I’m too lazy to gather them myself :P

Spent around 10 hours or so in a row standing just on that cliff near Lair of the Beast poi. One monitor has GW2 open and on other I spam the forums, youtube, work on something etc etc and the only thing that spawned was the Bloodscale (I hope that one isn’t needed for some other collection that I still haven’t unlocked). I won’t be standing in Dry Top any time soon like this until something gets fixed. This is just stupid.

Can’t even go do events in Dry Top and farm the sands cause I might miss the Dune Soarer cause apparently it dies too fast and no one reports in map chat that it spawned.

There is also a high demand apparently for sci-fi outfits. Imagine if they added an astronaut outfit and a lightsaber and whatnot related to sci-fi movies. How does that fit the lore of this game exactly?

I’m sick of wings and stuff like that as it is, I’d rather not see ‘modern’ clothing and other things that don’t fit this universe.

Those clips are almost a year old. I hardly doubt they were working on Legendary Armor back then. And yeah, those look lame for a legendary.

I won’t be satisfied with legendary armor until I see that it glows like the freaking sun and you have a cape that is carried by harpies while you walk at least

As far as I know no one finished this on gold yet. It either has a hidden mechanic that no one figured out yet or it wasn’t tested at all. I would love to see developers of these try to get gold on some of the adventures on a stream. Would pay money to see this happen.

At least this one(not possible), Fallen Masks(RNG based) and Shooting Gallery.

Guesting no longer works cause of the mega servers afaik.

And how exactly are they bugged? By saying they are bugged and not explaining how and posting it in the bugs section of the forum doesn’t help anyone.

You have to look at it from their perspective I guess. A collection thing is not really at the top of their priority list probably.

At least you know that the collection thingy you are going for (I am not sure for what Bashing Bauxite Alchemicals is needed yet) is going to get fixed for sure.

I am going for Kraitkin precursor collection and at tier 1 you have to kill a mob in Dry Top called the Dune Soarer. He spawns once every three weeks (at least that’s what it feels like), and even when he does he is alive for about 30 seconds at best.

So if I want to get it I have to stand in one place and wait for him to appear. Can’t even do the events in Dry Top cause if he does come people might not tell you on the map chat, and even if they do you might not get there in time cause he dies so fast.

I remember that Nuhoch champion has a chest that appears when you kill him, and only people with the mastery can open it and get the collection item. Maybe it’s the same thing with the Itzel guy? A chest somewhere near him appears?

How did you die so many times cause of a chat o_O?

They are probably gonna wait till next Tuesday when they release the raids and those new legendary weapons.

In that patch they’ll probably fix most (all?) the things reported so far, that way we can all be super happy how the patch notes are huge and how they do so many things and work very very hard. Fixing things one by one won’t get their work notices as much, or at least that’s what they think.

Most things that require Ley Line Gliding can be skipped with a mesmer portal.
I can only think of 2 achievements that actually do require Ley Line Gliding (maybe there are more but I can’t recall now). Both are in Tangled Depths.

First world problems.

Avoid traps worked for me after a few tries. It is extremely buggy.

But apparently everyone who got it actually did get hit by traps, including me.

I got hit on purpose on the first traps (cause that did it for everyone else I asked), blinked through the second ones and evaded all those aoe circles that those Mordrem at the door with the wolves use (maybe those kitten as traps?). That worked for me.

When I did it the Mordrem Usurper worked just fine. Had no issue with it. No clue now.

And for Untethered apparently you have to kill all the walls, kill all the mobs, not get hit by vines and not get bit by ANY mob as well. On both helixes, not just one. I haven’t tried it yet personally but apparently that worked for others. Easier to do with 2 players, one clears everything, both helixes and the other one just climbs to the top when it’s safe, then you reset and help the other guy.

Bugged or not, as it stands now it does goes alphabetically. I killed it enough times to get the item for every available class in game. And it always went alphabetically.

My spores began by unlocking Wild Abandon, then Bo, then Ydalir.

Basically the three I wanted least. I think the game knew.

Unless this was fixed in a patch I didn’t notice then you just got lucky with the alphabetical unlocking.

To the OP: If you ignore the Dragon’s Stand Treasure Mushroom, it’s three days to unlock all the spores across all collections. It’s not that bad, but sure, it’s irritating when it unlocks your least wanted weapons first.

Alphabetical order based on the class name, not the weapon name.

Your unlocks were also alphabetical
Wild Abandon – Berserker
Bo – Daredevil
Ydalir – Dragon Hunter

You apparently don’t have the Chronomancer elite spec collection unlock so it skipped that one. But if you unlock it now and kill the next shroom it will add to that collection.

Bugged or not, as it stands now it does goes alphabetically. I killed it enough times to get the item for every available class in game. And it always went alphabetically.

This ability was always like that, ever since they introduced it during Bazaar of the Four Winds (If that was the name of the first time that event appeared).

The issue was always there, copy pasted to Dry Top and now to the Egg Wings. I hardly doubt it will ever be fixed.

Does it appear as an event or just a mob spawn? The wiki says you have 15 minutes to kill it before it escapes so I’m guessing it does appear as an event.

This is the only adventure I don’t have on gold now. And I’m not even going to bother with it till something gets changed or some guide appears of something that I haven’t tried yet. I’d rather get gold on Fallen Masks again which is totally RNG based than play this again.

Lyssa outfit is good looking. A great design. But yeah, not gonna get it cause outfits are pointless to me. I prefer mix-n-match.

Happened to me last night. I was commanding in Novus and the Gerent died in 30 seconds. He charged right into those laser drones and just died.

OOM is the new Elder Dragon, it started in the Maguuma and now it’s spreading over Central Tyria.

In all seriousness the client itself apparently has a memeory leak issue so it doesn’t matter where you are, in HoT zones or in Tyria zones the issue is always present. Especially in Lion’s Arch. So the only solution now is 64bit client. People who can’t upgrade to 64bit client will have to suffer a bit more until they find a solution.

What is the reason for your crash when you check the details?

I do agree with everything that you said OP, except for one thing. Dungeon speedruns for gold were also a braindead type of a thing. Just like the silverwastes.

I hardly doubt that the random who joined in your place got ANY achievement or rewards.
Why you ask?

Well, you disconnected when he had 25% hp, that’s not enough time for a guy who just joined to maybe even tag Mordremoth especially if the bomb phase started. Even if he did manage, his map participation was like 0% so he didn’t get any good rewards for sure. And most achievements are during the events that lead to the collectors themselves.

I do know your pain, it happened to me too twice. After I got 64bit I went to DS again and in two runs I got all the achies so no big deal. Didn’t even take 2 hours cause the maps are good now and you can finish the whole meta in one hour.

ScribeTheMad.7614:

What?
I’ve been trying to find a spider farm for days and haven’t seen a single LFG for one.
I call bull, all the LFG stuff I see is for meta groups, and once in a while specific HP.

Correct. No one wants to post LFG’s for that cause it would bring more people than needed. Usually those who want to farm spiders just go to the place, see a few people already there and just join them. They only post LFG if that group disbands and you need a few more or you simply come to spiders and there is no one there.

In theory that would be very possible. In theory all of his minions should have Mordremoth.zip with them. Even when you are about to kill the Mouth of Mordremoth you can clearly hear him laughing. A few seconds before his death cinematic appears. Not sure if that laugh was a random clip playing or not but I’ve heard it twice in a row just before he died. Which makes me think he is laughing because we think that he actually died yet he knows he didn’t.

Even before you strike down Trahearne Mordremoth doesn’t even ‘beg for mercy’, I know he would never do that regardless but he says something like ‘SUBMIT TO ME, YOU WILL ALL OBEY ME’ or something along those lines. He wouldn’t say that if he saw his death was about to happen.

All of those are valid theories, but I don’t think ANet is gonna do any of those. You can clearly see that they want to be done with Dragons as fast as possible. The sooner we kill them all the better. They are struggling with the whole Elder Dragon thing.

They don’t even know how to farm properly haha, too many people = too much damage. That leads to spiders not respawning fast enough even if you add tigers to the rotation. Oh well. I find people who run for achievements while it’s night. For example the whole zerg of people goes to the frog boss to get the achie or something. Those type of things ruin the t4 if you ask me. ANet always puts silly achievements for content that should be organized. And it always ends up with a chunk of players running to complete their achies first.

A deposit for endless tonics
Super Adventure Box

I agree, Season 2 was the peak. I expected so much more from HoT core release.

PyrateSilly is somewhat correct though, it is another point of view. But when it comes to my point of view, I’m only playing this game for so long ONLY because of the story.
This franchize has one of the best stories out there, at least for my tastes. If I ever quit GW it will be cause they decided to deliver unfinished story like they did with HoT.

Spider farm is usually done by 5 people at best. If more than 5 people are present they will try to find a new, emptier map. So no clue how it ruins a t4 on Verdant Brink. If you really missed t4 cause of 5 players than you never had a chance.

And in some cases those people farming spiders actually defend that rally point that’s on top of the spider farm to get event participation so they can get bonus chests when a tier gets higher.

It’s been said so many times before that maybe there is no need for a new story bashing thread. Even though I fully agree. The story lacked so so much. They really did pull many things out of their kitten s just to wrap things up. So many things left unanswered, so many things forgotten and I know they will fix it all in LS3 cause they will read all the things people are disappointed about and add them all in LS3 to make us happy.

But sadly that won’t work for me. This was the real place to put them in, the core of HoT.

Regardless of that I laughed so hard when WP said “We should use our plants to destroy his plants!” xD

Gravity well also does wonders for the break bar.

Just finished all my masteries, rank 161 So I’m ready for the raids

I think they gave us enough time (you still have time until the raids actually come) to get at least the basic masteries if not all just by playing the game.

I see so many people rage how masteries are a grind. How people who do CoF p1 and spider farm and all other mob related things are braindead sort of players who didn’t do anything in HoT maps other than farm mobs. You actually realize that you basically need to do almost EVERYTHING in the new zones to reach rank 161 like I did? There are not that many mastery points to spare after you are done.

I did almost all HoT map related achievements (except Chak Gerent ones, Shooter Gallery Gold, Haywire Punch-o-Matic Gold, Tarir 100 times and a few ones in VB). So in the end I played the game the way I like. I love doing achievements, and by doing them (most are related to long event chains) I got pretty far into the masteries.

Just play the game, don’t chase the carrot. You can’t say that you feel forced to play other content that you don’t like in order to play the raids. Well guess what, raids are End Game for PvE. In order to get masteries you have to do PvE (shocking right?). So yeah I’m perfectly fine if they put some high end masteries as a necessity in raids.

That way they will limit the raids to people who actually did HoT maps, went through the learning curve of it, got a bit better skilled. Cause let’s be honest, the vanilla open world didn’t require any skill in order to play, HoT maps do, at least to some degree, and I’d rather have players in raids who actually went through HoT maps and did a lot in them, then those players who didn’t even bother cause it was too hard for them. You may call that eliteism or whatever, but I don’t care. I’d gladly welcome that when it comes to the raids. Doing dungeons with newbies for a few hours (yes that can happen), but doing raids which are made to be hard with newbies will turn into a nightmare, will make people angry and some may even turn toxic.

They said from the start that casual players will not be able to do raids, that they are made for above average skilled players. And by including masteries into raids means they can make some very fun mechanics that require good timing and a whole lot of fun.

So if you still haven’t wrapped your head around all that, and will continue to complain how raids are too hard (before people find out the most optimal way to do the encounters) and how much locked behind masteries they are and now you have to ‘grind’…. all I can say to you is “Would you like some cheese with that whine?”.

It works for me. I got one from fractals. Didn’t even know you can buy it from the Guild Hall.

So apparently you can do Chak Killer Master only if you actually kill (tag) 50 mobs and don’t die. Dying disqualifies you.

For Untethered (source dulfy), you are not allowed to get hit by mobs either, you have to kill all the mobs and all the walls as well. On both helixes. So better to duo the instance with a friend. Your friend kills it all then you run up safely. You reset the instance then you kill everything for your friend to run up safely once you are done.

Potoni the Massive is a bit buggy cause after you kill it you have to walk down the bridge near the mushroom on the floor under him for the achie to trigger. You have to cross that bridge near the jumping mushroom for it to get triggered.

Crystallized Cache Seeker also has some issues. Most of them don’t count. I believe the only one that counted for me was one near the Nuhoch town.

While using that skill you have to let go of all other commands.
For example if you hold W to move forward while you are using that skill it will fail.

So just let go of everything, press 2, target with your mouse, press 2 again, and then continue to run.

A Massive Headache.1879:

I feel the need to chime in, I was able to obtain this achievement after finally killing out a bunch without dying; though, getting downed was fine. I also would like to mention, there were still 3 vets chak letf, 2 shield ones and 1 lobber, and 4-5 little chak left. I recommend doing this slowly if going for it before it’s fixed, also careful with the lobbers, if you get the tenth stack of goo on you while downed, I believe it just kills you instantly.

From what I’ve gathered apparently lobbers can finsih you off when you are downed. Like you can finish off players in PvP.

Only the sylvari and humans died while doing something useful.

I’m actually perfectly fine with raids being locked behind masteries.
Ley line gliding from gliders, stealth detection from Nuhock, adrenaline shrooms from Itzel and at least exalted assistence from the Exalted line should be a requirement for raids. Otherwise most masteries would be pointless. Map completions don’t even require you to have them with all the portaling mesmers and portal to a friend.
I would be very happy if the masteries I worked for were useful and mandatory in the end game content.

Aveneo.2068:

Killed her twice now during the dragon fight but no achievement. Maybe the achievement was only added to the legendary version and ANet forgot to attach it to her triple champion split-up stage at the end?

Apparently Fluffball got the achievement.

One more thing that came to mind was a snowball fight that requires you to use first person view with the action cam.

Typing from my phone at the moment so can’t check exactly the names of the achievements, will edit when I get home.

Diarmid Slayer at Mouth of Mordremoth, killed her a few times and still no achievement, some people did get it though.

None of the achievements from story 15 register for me when I enter it. No “qualified” buff appears for any.

Superior Rune of the Air

Yes, I’m ready for people to tell me how much of a noob mesmer I am, happens all the time when I tell which runes I use.

This is a set of runes that I’ve used for the longest of time, even before mesmers could do perma swiftness (signet change). And I’m so used to it that I don’t feel like changing.

I had a huge issue at the start of the game when it came to mesmer speed that I just had to get these, and now I’m so used to them that I simply can’t switch.

I tried, trust me. It ended in me wasting my heal skill to get the swiftness from it which was no longer available.
And that lightning strike saved my life so many times (when in downed). I’ll probably get something new for the raids if they prove to be too difficult. But for general PvE and even Fractals (yes I run those in high scales too) I’ll stick to Air
