Guild Wars 2

Bunnytown.7801:

would be cutting off future minions.

Isn’t his thing to clone the already existing minions? Why does he need Blighting Trees if he can just for example clone one sylvari over and over?

You can even see Rata Sum from Dragon’s Stand. There is actually an achievement called “Sum Viewer” or something. So yeah… if we can see Rata Sum from Dragon’s Stand, then Rata Sum can definitely see stuff in Dragon’s Stand.

Sube Dai.8496:

Yep, always empty maps for me. Its totally killing the game for me.

Woah, I think that’s a bit too harsh. Killing the game for you. Really? Just cause you choose not to switch to a more populated overflow?

I do agree that it can be annoying when the maps are empty when you want them not to, but you can always switch to a more populated one. It doesn’t take much of an effort.

Calcifire.1864:

the alternative that I would have chosen if I were mordremoth would have been to take that tendril and bash trahearne against the walls until he became a fine mulch the second he brought up the fact that he could access mordremoth’s mind

Exactly this. When Trahearne suggested that idea the dragon even made some sort of angry roar. Even Rytlock commented how “The Dragon doesn’t like that idea”. Just confirming to us that the dragon himself found out about the plan to. If he could pull away Trahearne the second we killed Faolain, he could have done something here as well.

I get from where you are coming from. I actually haven’t seen a Berserker anywhere yet.
I’d be a bit angry myself if Chronmancer wasn’t awesome like it is. Lucky for me that it is. But the point of elite specs wasn’t to outshine the original class. Not from what I understood.

That’s what it felt like. Truly. We are fighting the big bad end boss in the last story and my sylvari goes all brosky on Canach, bromance and such… I mean come on… don’t ruin it for me, please. I was actually surprised that I didn’t get an end cinematic where my character brofists Canach in the end.

I was so sad when I saw the golem do what he did. I actually felt sad unlike the cinematic with Eir
He actually stopped… got worried… and she said “It’s ok big guy, I’ll be fine”. I almost shed a tear

I actually had a bug in that story with Taimi escort at the start. The event didn’t start at all the first time so I thought I was supposed to find the Dragon Research on my own. I was like “Oh wow, this is nice, no clues, no guides, no green star to tell you where to go, you have whole Rata Novus to yourself to actually find the research, so immersive.” But no, that was a bug. Before I figured out it was a bug I actually did manage to find it though. You can get to that door with a dragon icon on it if you follow the hidden underwater tunnel. But then you get stuck once you get there cause that wasn’t the intended way to do it. Maybe they should put those “Leaving the instance area” thingies if you actually go into the water.

Another thing that was more of a “What, really? Really guys? This would actually happen irl?” when the golem sacrificed itself, and the lens part starts they actually let Taimi walk on her own to the panels? Such a small, crippled fragile thing to walk on her own in a hive of chak? Come on Braham, pick her up and escort her to the panel. Not watch her work those stairs that are bigger than her.

By the time you get the the lens working you actually kill the whole room basically but ok, I guess they spawn a few veterans once the laser starts.

There are plenty of people in HoT maps, regardless of negative feedback. When you post a LFG that you are doing organized Tarir or Dragon’s Stand the map gets fully very quickly. But I do agree that there are way too many empty overflows. A few times I got the message to change the overflow and get that buff thingy if I accept cause the one I’m in emptied out.

And we all know by now that HoT maps work best with actual people around. If I wanted to do stuff solo I’d do old content which was made for that

I hardly doubt this but maybe, MAYBE, you’ll get another piece of that same armor for the next mesmer elite specialization.

I’ve got a gold on few of the adventure, some on my first try actually (like the pit in VB). Some seem impossible to even get silver. But I’m not in a rush. Eventually guides with optimal way to do them to get gold will appear for all of those and then I’ll do the kittenes that I just can’t figure out at the moment, like the JP in Tarir. I can only get bronze there even though I’m using the wings all the time to skip A LOT of steps. Some things I do even feel like I wasn’t supposed to do it like that and skip so much of the content in the race but still barely manage to get bronze in the end.

“Friends kept joking that Marjy didnt have any spare greatswords around to keep their souls in.”
Hahhahaha, that made me laugh a lot.

I love the story. Will replay it many times, for the achievements and on my other toons to get all the armor/weapon/backpieces that it rewards you with. I would never do that if the story wasn’t interesting.

But sadly it felt (again) rushed at the end. Every. Single. Chapter. Was AWESOME! Truly. Until the very end, where it felt like it’s missing 15ish chapters in between chapter 15 and chapter 16. It didn’t honor the build up it made through the year. A powerful dragon that just woke up and became the most dangerous. His grasp spread all across Tyria (world) very fast, he was intelligent and talkative unlike Zhaitan. So much story and suddenly puff, it just ends. Such a huge threat ended so suddenly.

I’d be far happier if HoT story stopped at chapter 15 or something, and then we wait for the next living story. Three living stories later we actually get to face Mordremoth.

I haven’t finished the Dragon’s Stand meta, haven’t get past the collector stage yet so no clue what the Mouth of Mordremoth actually is yet. But from what I’ve heard the root monster from the trailer doesn’t appear anywhere?

What about the actual dragon? The one who’s head we see after Scarlet Briar breaks the ley line hub in Lion’s Arch and wakes the dragon? Is that the Mouth we fight in Dragon’s Stand?

Yeah it’s one of those silly things. I find it off putting in the new story how my main sylvari character refers to Canach and others as “Brother”. I mean, I do get it, we are all of the same mother. But come on! He never used to call other sylvari ‘brother’. My sylvari became a bro

RNG Gods ladies and gentlemen at its finest

Don’t hold me 100% on that. But I know I heard they said that the raids will be the next story step after HoT. That’s a part of the reason why they didn’t come out at the release. Too lazy to find where they said that but you can look it up yourself if you are that interested.

I do agree that the fight didn’t feel epic at all, not worthy of the weight it was carrying… And I don’t think that root monster from the trailer is in the game… yet. At least I haven’t seen it / heard of it yet.

I am not a commander myself, I did get a mentor though but also not using it. I’m to lazy to lead stuff. I second this request to add some changes to the commander tag.

If I was a casual new player or something I would follow the mentor cause his name in map chat actually says Mentor, and his icon in map chat is a bit bigger than the commanders

That’s all for now. They did say that raids will be a direct continue to the story. So now we wait for raids I guess.

Oh it’s a bug. I thought they disabled it cause of mastery.

Why would people be judged based on the mastery level? Especially when now you can get all Tyria masteries in one day unless they fix some stuff.

If they separate HoT mastery rank and Central Tyria rank then maybe… Since there is no farm (that I’m aware of) for HoT masteries.

I’ve actually encountered this issue too. Would be awesome to change the keybind.

Also this reminds me, a bit off topic. But is there a way to change the keybind how you ping/drawn on the minimap?

If you don’t want to spend a month in HoT zones then don’t. You are not required to…
If farming/grinding/playing (call it however you want) towards the mastery is not your thing then you absolutely don’t have to do it.

But to answer your question from something that I’ve discovered so far, probably not the best way to do it, people will always find something better. Doing fresh Auric Basin is a good way. Going from Pylon to Pylon. But not as good as a fresh organized Dragon’s Stand. Those events and mobs give there a decent amount of experience point. By the time you get to the collector at least. Then it drops cause most people don’t know how to do it just yet, still new.

Also there is one escort event in Tangled Depths where you leave the NPC to die so you can farm endless amounts of chak. But the event is timed so you can’t do it for long.

I’ve seen some people who are actually mad that they finished poison mastery before it was removed. No clue why they are mad though. It’s a useful thing to have.

Back to the topic. I have a feeling it will be the Deep Sea one, maybe. I hope at least. Don’t forget about the Hydra image we got on the official site.

It’s true that the price is a bit too much for the actual content. But hey, I know we’ll get tons of stuff later on for free. So it will pay off.

Oh please, you get dazed once or twice.
And he only get talkative in the like last two chapters. And even then he doesn’t say much.

Which I don’t really mind. I don’t care if he talks a lot or not.

I’m only a bit sad that they said so much stuff like “OH MY GOSH YOU GUISE MUST MAKE A SYLVARI FOR THIS EXPANSION!! Things will be so different, you’ll get stuff that other races won’t! Two dazes and a few ‘You belong to me!’, enjoy!”.

Guess I expected a bit more from being a sylvari.

Going out of the map, restarting the chapter, coming back to the map fixes it. But each step I follow get’s bugged so I have to repeat to leave map, restart, come back thing over and over

I am playing the game. Not even in a rush to finish my masteries. I’m totally for “Play the game, don’t chase the carrot”, just saying that some things should be more rewarding. I’m exploring, doing achievements and stuff, exp comes on it’s own. But not enough. I almost finished everything that I wanted to do in HoT maps for now and I’m not even close to unlocking fully a single mastery track xD So grinding of it is not evadable

Now I started on the quest and the thing I need to interact with at the start. Does nothing. The mission objective says it’s done. That i found what I needed. But nothing happens.

Keep in mind that this is only in the testing stage… they will probably nerf it or do something else with it.
They wanted to go full invulnerable on minions. It was that way at least during raids in the betas.

Regardless of the uses this now has I still prefer the old one.
So yeah… already switched to shield

I’ve done every event chain. Well maybe not all in Tangled Depths cause I am not a fan of that map. So far Dragon’s Brand gave me the most exp from events if you start organized from the beginning of the map. And yet still I don’t think it’s enough. Some events take too long to complete and give the same rewards as some events that require 30 seconds to complete.

I checked after patch last night, it still said that I require the Poison Lore. Even though I restarted the chapter.
I logged in now (at work) and it’s working now.

Shemie.4286:

Quite annoying indeed. I went to the toilet which is across the whole house, peed, washed my hands and walked casually back – to find that Im no longer in participation of the event. Great

While you were on your way to the toilet you were already marked as inactive…

But yeah. I understand why this system is here. I am trying my best to support it. But I can’t at the moment…
Yes I’m used to tagging multiple events at the same time to get more rewards (that’s how I did SW for organ farm when it came out and it saved me a lot of time). But even that’s not the issue. I’ll work more to complete each individual thing if that’s required (work is not the real word, more like grind, take for example Tarir gate events, you have to do all 4, so now you can’t tag each per event and get progress, you actually have to do it 4 times). The issue is that fear of going afk to the bathroom, to open the door or something similar know I won’t be titled to the reward of the event when I get back.

Spent like 7-8 minutes in that frozen screen afking, doing something else. And suddenly after those 7-8 minutes the cinematic started on it’s own.

I am playing on fully patched game. Apparently the cinematic that is supposed to happen doesn’t work for me for some reason and freezes my game. I guess I’ll just do it one more time and leave it frozen for a few minutes… will have to find that ‘emotional’ cinematic that was already spoiled to me somewhere on youtube

Anyone else has an issue where you game freezes at the end of this story? When you are about to free both of them from that cell?

My game just freezes, three times in a row right when I kill the cell.

I just finished Prisoners of the Dragon story twice in a row, both times my game freezes at the part where I free Eir/Faolain. At least when I kill the cell they are in the game just freezes.

I just love people who go to the forums to make new threads and QQ about issues few hours after the launch. Take a chill pill, go play old content, go play Halloween, go take a nap. They are aware of all the issues and they are working on them. There is absolutely no need for them to say stuff like “Yes we are trying to blah blah”, cause we already know that they are working on it.

It says 600 on patch notes.

I actually think I also lost around 20-30. But can’t be 100% sure.

The Bat Wings Glider Combo is now available in the Style category of the Gem Store. Unlock a giant set of bat wings for your backpack and a matching Bat Wings Glider for 600 gems total.

In the gemstore it says 700 gems

Go play Halloween Relax and calm down. Things will get fixed. I’m sure they are working full speed now to track progress of everything, and fix everything that players found that’s broken. Things like these don’t get fixed with a push of a button.

Yeah this looks very nice.

I completely forgot about this item.

Guess that is proof enough of its uselessness.

Hating this achievement so much, but I’m still gonna finish it. Sorry for my team though cause I am not even trying to kill people, just chasing for an interrupt.

I also agree that this is too much, not to mention the fact that you HAVE to hit an interrupt, just daze won’t count.

I made a decision that I will do 10 interrupts a day (done for today) till I get 100.
Now I just got in the game, wait for that buff and chase people around giving them a free kill just as long as I can interrupt them once. Usually I fail cause the animations are just slow, but yeah I get eventually 10 for my ‘daily’.

Sorry I’m ruining the game for the rest of my team for giving free kills for the enemy but thank the achievement

So arenanet encourages players to waste points and make their team lose just to get the achievement…

For me, yes. I wanna get the achievement cause I like to collect them. And the fastest way to do it is by the method I am currently doing.

Not by playing it normally, having fun and doing it to win a match.

If I were you I would be worried about reports, especially now that you spelled it out on the forums.

Pretty sure intentionally losing games will get you punished.

He’s not intentionally losing games, but merely poiniting out that the most efficient way to obtain the achievement makes for poor teamwork and thus is not conducive to that team’s victory.

But remember, these are the same devs that made the Assault on the Breachmaker. Anyone remember that? Where the best way to get the “only use the right color attunement” achievement was to tag the boss, then huddle in a corner?

Or Escape from Lion’s Arch, where there was a map wide meta-event for saving civilians, but the best rewards for an individual were obtained by ignoring the civilians and farming events?

Or Silverwastes, where half the map is laboriously pushing the meta-events while the other half just run around with shovels and keys until the “big” events (Breach/Vinewrath) pop and suddenly then they’re interested in events?

Or, or, or, or, or….

Yeah, the point is that Anet has always had a real knack for designing content where what’s best for the group and what’s best for the individual are diametrically opposed.

Or, or, or…
Tequatl “I Found It!”, “Tail Flail” achievements. Don’t even want to mention that hidden one to jump over the wave when the megalaser event fails. While everyone is trying to kill the thing there are people searching for treasures underwater and trying to evade his tail :P

11 in like 1 hour and 30 minutes. Too much time wasted on this.
10 per day and I SHOULD be done in 10 days…
They will never understand that we want hard achies, not time consuming ones…

Report me for doing the achievement? Good luck with that.
And also I’m not losing, hell I even win those games regardless.
I guess my roll in dragon ball is interrupter, not a killer :P

Sorry, I know questions about freshly dropped content are always a bit annoying, but I searched through the wiki and forums and couldn’t really find what I was looking for.

My understanding so far is that 1) you can only by a certain amount per day, and 2) they’re relatively pricey.

But the thing is it doesn’t really look like they have anything all that worthwhile in them: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Divine_Lucky_Envelope.

I saw in another recent post that people are getting Trophies (of varying value) that they’re selling to the vendor. Is that really all it is? A virtual slot machine? (you put some gold in, you hope to get more gold out).

Sorry again for being bothersome, but thank you in advance for any advice/information/explanation you might be able to provide!

p.s. I already have both version of the ram backpiece, so that doesn’t factor into my question.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ornamental_Golden_Trophy
I think that is the only thing of value, but not sure if you get them from the Envelopes or not.

Go to Competitive section. Seasonal Activities

Yeah I agree, I also like how some things look on my sylvari but won’t buy it cause I can’t use those shoulders with some other things. Don’t like it as a whole set.
