Guild Wars 2

am i allowed to continue bumping until someone resolves this?

sigh.. bump please

i once spent an hour doing path 3 of HotW, and the party leader left after 1 wipe towards the end… yeah……. guess what happened to me and my friends? yeah….

listen, i know this isn’t a big deal kind of bug, i don’t “need” to know my first 10 levels of story, but it would be nice to do such a thing when comparing beginning choices with my friends

bump. and also, this seems to be the only character on my account that has this issue.

bump please meow

my max level charr elementalist can’t view my previous personal story chapters in the Hero screen without crashing my client. i left off my story at 53, but when looking back into my previous story fluff, i noticed that everything from “I’m Piatym Zywiolem” and the “Stoking The Flame”. any ideas?

i might need a dev or something to check to see if this toon’s story file is corrupt or whatever could be wrong with the server that affects this. my friend who has a charr necromancer with almost identical starting background (as far as i can remember, since i can’t actually check without crashing), is not having this problem.

:-( sad face.

the impression i’m getting from the majority talking about full zerk sets implies that they either slaved their lives perfecting fractals like it was an art of life, or they just have good party composition keeping them alive. i, on the other hand, who run with pugs and casuals 90% of the time, can not afford to play around with such idealism of dps, and me being the better player of my rl friends, even i get dropped on my thief fairly easily just doing a level 15 fractal, and i’m not even full zerk :p

i hate fractals, i don’t like working hard to get stuff done, i just want it done for the items.

oh okays, so in pve survival stats isn’t important, just the abilities and tactics. with this all in mind, my one friend is borderline mentally challenged (i’m seriously not even joking) and plays left handed, doesn’t even have his hand on the mouse 95% of the time, is it safe to say he will never get to fractal 20? lol…

with all this in mind, i think i want to use my elementalist, even though i am wary about being so squishy, i have done wonders with my ele, at least in wvw, soloing thieves and warriors and once even a mesmer, with me having only 2 K armor and 15 K health. i would say i am probably the best use with either my thief or ele overall on my account compared to my mesmer, in fact, i couldn’t even solo to 80 on my mesmer, i had to craft and piggy back dungeons.

so now the better question i should be asking, do you have any elementalist advice for fractals? aside from obvious things like coordinate water fields and blast finishers. aside from having mist form for emergencies, i currently run a sort of glyph build for normal dungeons on my ele, glyph heal, revive glyph, and depending on what is asked of me, i either run one or both elemental summon glyph spells, or i have ice bow and or fire gs. i have never had people complain about me in AC or CoF, though those are childs play compared to FotM of course, so is my setup still viable for (most) fractals? and any tips you can offer?

i’m skeptical about colesy’s suggestion, i mean, if my thief who is not even full berserker is having problems surviving at fractal 15, then how am i gonna take a mesmer to 30?

if glassier builds is the way to go though, i do have a staff ele that i am decent at using, though i messed up my build a long time ago, it being my first character, i have an ascended PTV ring that i am too stubborn to delete, lol… otherwise everything except for my back is berserker. would i have better chances getting to fractal 30 on a staff ele?

thanks so far :-) if there are any other suggestions someone can add, feel free. with this much info i feel more inclined to put my mesmer as my fractal runner so far, but i am wondering if crit dmg is required to be completely useful, or is full PTV that i have on sufficient enough?

me and 2 rls have been trying to run fractals with 2 d/d sb thieves, and a p/p sb thief, all running similar builds (0/30/30/10/0), but around dif lvl 15 we are noticing this isn’t an ideal setup to run fracts with 3 thieves and are having more and more frequent 2-3 hour long fractal runs.

i’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions about this from just my server, so i just want to know for real what is the best group comp for getting up to dif lvl 30 fractals?

fyi, i have convinced two of the friends to switch to warriors, but i am debating if i should switch to mesmer, or delete my guardian’s wvw infusion (which i do not look forward to doing), or just stick with a my thief, since i am pretty good with it.

but what do you all think? help please.

my server fought yours quite a few times, and i gotta say, you make it hard to solo roam, lol.

i agree with the notion that you should stick dueling to sPvP, that is what it is there for. but if you really really are just gonna keep doing duels in WvW anyway, one good idea is to do it in a place that isn’t right by a camp or something? like, go duel by the krait skill point in EB, or like the jump puzzles or something far out of the way. but for the most part, you really should just stick to playing WvW as it was intended, at least roam and contribute to your servers success mates :-)

but that’s my two cents, i hope you guys have a good reset, take care

it’s honestly obvious why they did this, if all people had to do to get exotic armor and weapons was to farm dungeons all day, then who would bother crafting at all? considering all things, some dungeons are still more favorable to run compared to crafting (like CoF), and if what i hear is true, dungeon runs only gave 20 tokens originally? so if this is right, then adding the first of the day bonus was a reasonable compensation against DR. i mean, it would be nice to get 60 on each alt per day, but then people would just do speed runs of CoF with 5 characters, which thus a lot would do this for the mystic forge, or fast twinking a recent 80 alt with zerg gear. so i guess i don’t have a problem with this system, but it does make you have to be patient instead of just repeat runs per day.

alright, i’m good now, i got a friend to clear the event at Melandru :-) not sure if the npc is still there, but you can always try to check on Henge of Denravi for it. i last seen it around 1:45 AM (GMT -6)

that site wasn’t very helpful to me, and i’m sad now, i finally found a Melandru post but it was last updated a day ago. turns out Melandru finally was open on my server, HoD, but i don’t know when it opened, but i do know that a group event spawned there and killed the npc i needed and i can’t solo 4 veterans and 8 adds by myself, this zone is empty of players :-(

i noticed that for some temples, people have posts that are actively keeping track of this, and i was thinking there should be something ongoing to keep track of this one too, though, it’s up to the community really, but at least i was wondering for myself if anyone has Melandru open on their server?

grinding? maybe to a modest degree perhaps, but compared to Tibia, WoW, Everquest, EQ2, SWTOR, SWG, and to a lesser extent, Run! escape!… wait, i meant Runescape… i don’t see the need to grind in GW2, even though it’s ideal to get to max level so that you are not an ankle biter in WvW, it’s not like it’s necessary to rush. the random events in this game is something that i have only seen in Tibia (except they are lame and far between in Tibia, meh), and the level scaling lets friends come help me level and stuff

not to mention that i can actually enjoy my main quest, every MMO i’ve played, i’ve had less than 3% interest in whatever quest i was doing (though i admit Runescape had some well thought out quests, but i honestly didn’t care quite that much behind them, lol), GW2 though feels like my decisions matter, and there’s cinematics and voice acting, it’s really nice ^.^

the only tedium i have to deal with is farming for craft supplies, but that isn’t too bad, because despite the long respawn, at least the harvest locations are usually static, and it’s convenient to have the option in your bag to send craft supplies to your bank from your bag

so i’m happy with GW2 <3

i disagree with this idea and decision to go forth with this, i personally think you should ditch guesting and keep world transfers free, this seems like you’re restricting the game. it’s like, when the game launched, you wanted everything to be as enticing as possible, and i had used free world transfer to try to get people off of WoW to join this game (among like 10 other reasons, but still)… i personally do not know if i will ever want to world transfer again, since my current guild is only posted on one server, but knowing that the liberty to do so freely had been replaced by a weak consolation, seems rather rigid and cold… i understand that you wish to make money on a subscriptionless game, but how about this.. free world transfers once a year determined by account age, and then if a person really wants transfers inbetween that time, they pay for it as is.

:) thank you for reading

Waypoints are part of the game, this is borderline steampunk, we have mechas and asura portals, Waypoints are not hard to fathom as part of the experience. though, mounts would be cute, but they don’t exist, might never exist, but hey, WoW is only 15 dollars a month and that has mounts, you could go play WoW, maybe play some WoW? let’s see, pay 15 dollars a month for mounts, or pay 0 dollars a month for teleportation, well, i know where my interest goes (though technically, my nephew is paying for my WoW account, but i still like GW2 more) ^.^

i’ve only played as an ele, and between by D/D setup and staff setup, i see more DPS from my single target attacks, because first of all, the cooldown for them tends to be shorter than my AoEs abilities, so in long term combat, i am ultimately using more single target attacks than i am AoEs. now i heard due to some circumstances in mass combat there is views on AoEs being overall seemingly too effective? if you’re going to nerf anything, then maybe have a target affected limit, or something.
