Guild Wars 2

shibby.7219:

Arenanet need to remember not everyone is a hardcore gamer what happens to the casual games that arenanet are excluding with theses events. Not everyone wants to play a berserk practically all the guides online used a berserker build.

Just ask yourself? What content was there for hardcore players in the last 8 months? I can’t think of any content I couldn’t complete. For me as a hardcore player it’s finally nice to see that my needs for harder content are finally satisfied.
We, the hardcore players, had to suffer long enough from the “casual-festation” in this game.

And btw: I did not use a berserker build to defeat her… I just did it with my normal shout heal build on my warrior.

I guess everyone already forgot about Colin’s blog, that was released 8 days ago…

To encourage players to participate in a wider array of dungeon content, we’ve designed the system so if you complete the same dungeon path twice in one day, you’ll receive the normal reward for completion, but won’t receive the bonus gold reward again during that day.

If you read it carefully it says you only get the reward once. The normal reward for completing the dungeons can be obtained at least twice.

As we all know, ANet implemented the living “story” at this year’s beginning. In my oppinion it has nothing to do with the story anymore. More has the living “story” become a collection of meaningless minigames.

To tell you one thing before the rant continues: I have done ALL event achievments so far. ALL of them.

Let’s have a look at this release’s achievments:

There are EIGHT achievments that have to do with minigames (the repeatable ones included).
Let’s have a look at Flame and Frost, the beginning of the living story: There were ZERO achievments that had to do with minigames because there were none.

To sum things up: ANet pretends to give us a story, what we get are a bunch of meaningless minigames.

What had happened to Glint:

Esplen.3940:

But you can actively get in there, of course it currently requires a Revive Orb.

You don’t need a revive orb. Just do down one side of the cube, then jump off the ledge. Just quit the game during the fall. When you log in again, you spawn in the prison.

I love how ppl still don’t understand the TP. Eternity costs almost 3000g, if you buy it instantly. The OP has just looked at the TP’s frontpage under the top valued items cathegory to see that Eternity is worth 1700g. However this is not true, since this price (1700g) is only reflectinf the highest buy order.

Hey there

Daecollo, maybe you remember me

Daecollo tries now for about 3 months to nerf Lemongrass, because his Omnomberry Ghosts were nerfed. Here are his oter topics:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/I-think-that-Lemongrass-is-too-powerful/first#post2024861

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Lemongrass-Food-Nerf/first#post2103056

Conclusion: He has no interest what so ever in nerfing lemongrass, he just wants revenge for his Omnomberry Ghosts. So don’t believe him. Lemongrass is not OP and was never OP. Just keep it as it is.

All Flame and Frost content was only available between January 28th and May 14th. This means, that you can’t do any of F&F’s content anymore.

And really, to all the people complaining about it: The living story is supposed to keep you playing. If you missed it, it’s your fault, the time windows during which you could do the specific content are large enough.

Saturn.6591:

Gotta agree with Rennoko.

Vatras.2806:

Now tell me, how this ruins your PvE experience. I have never seen mobs using food in this game before nor have I seen mobs with any condition duration decrease. So, how can this affect your condition damage at all?
If this was an issue with PvP I would ask a for a balance, but since there are no such issues with it in PvE just keep it.

You’ve never heard of WvW; right?

Pfff, as if someone ever sacrifices his/her whole utility/dps for 98% condition duration decrease. I never ran into people that were using that spec.
And just for your sake: Let them nerf it in WvW so the few people who use this will be unhappy. And btw: you can also use power-based builds (power-necro, bs-thief, etc).

And always remember: This topic was created by a guy that is annoyed because of the omnomberry ghost nerf. He has no interest what so ever in nerfing this, he just want’s revange on another seemingly “op” food.

Rennoko.5731:

Reading these I wonder if the people that defend this food would be okay with food that reduced all incoming physical damage by 40%. If you play conditions, this food ruins you completely, especially in conjunction with the runes. It, much like the plus 40% condition duration food is grossly over budget on what it does, and a near requirement if you don’t want to worry about conditions.

Just make it reduce base duration, not total duration and it is fine. Then it works like the offensive variant, which again is too powerful compared to other ways to get duration, but would at least be less insane.

Now tell me, how this ruins your PvE experience. I have never seen mobs using food in this game before nor have I seen mobs with any condition duration decrease. So, how can this affect your condition damage at all?
If this was an issue with PvP I would ask a for a balance, but since there are no such issues with it in PvE just keep it.

Aren’t you the guy, who wants revange for the Omnomberry Ghost nerf? Just don’t listen to him…

If you invest a lot of trait points, runes and food it’s fine for me. Those people loose a lot of “good” stats and are overall less useful, which makes it balanced again.

Edit: Here is his old topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/I-think-that-Lemongrass-is-too-powerful
Just don’t listen to him…

You can get anywhere in the Grove, once you found the way Btw, the second pic is me in Privet Gardens

This is my T3 cultural warrior. The first screen shows my normal colors, on the second one you can see my “Inquest Warrior”

Hey guys,

I was just jumping around a little bit in Brisban Wildlands, when I saw the entrance to one of the guild puzzles called Proxemics Lab. So I decided to get a better view on it and take some screenshots (I could not get closer, because there are invisible walls that block you, or invisible walls, that teleport you away):

Noone forces you to play this game. If you don’t enjoy it or the new content, just leave. If you want progression, like a gear treadmill, go play some WoW or Aion, or whatsoever. There are a lot of other cool (f2p) MMOs out there, you might like even more than GW
I personally really enjoyed the last update, especially the new F&F stuff and I can’t wait for it to be continued.

I guess not. The Great Collapse is what’s left of the Canthan District. I guess, as long as ANet doesn’t bring Cantha back into the game, we should not expect anything to see there.

gimmethegepgun.1284:

There’s also a cube on the ground that’s visible on the map that has an asura gate inside of it, and unlike everything else down there the inside is detailed.
If you try to get in it though (you need a leap because you can’t jump high enough) you’ll find that there’s an invisible box that keeps you from getting in that you can walk on.

You can get into the box. The portal inside is linked with the one in the Polymock Arenas and is working

@OP: It’s easy to get down there. Either you jump and log out during the fall, or you use a trait the reduces falling damage by 50% and then sneak your way down the edges of the walls. But there is really nothing to see down there :P

Oooookay, let’s start:

Thing, that you can get exotics from:
-dungeons: Buy your equip for dungeon tokens at the NPCs in Lion’s Arch.
-crafting: Level the professions you need for your gear to lvl 400. Then you can easily get a set of armor
-karma: Get about 250k karma together and buy a set of equip at the temple vendors in Orr.
-trading post: Simply buy your equipment.

Since you seem to be new to get game, I would recommend you either do dungeons and collect a bunch of tokens or you get a set of karma armor. That’s the cheapest way for new ppl to get theit hands on good equipment.

I would not rely that much on random drops, I dropped my first exotic about 300 hours after I hit level 80. Back in the “old days”, when the game just has started, I crafted myself a armor for about 5 gold But nowadays it’s way more expansive for some stat combos.

OMG, it’s 105 ms of “lag”. That’s nothing. So get used to it, it is not a problem. When i first started playing shooters, I had a ping of 200 and ruled. So ping is not relevant, if you get used to it

Germany
Deutsche Telekom (I hate them)
Playing on Seafarer’s Rest

Same here. I am playing on Seafarer’s Rest. The lag seems to be only map specific and only occurs, when too much players are on one map. Due to the excessive amount of lag my client disconnects. This is really annoying, because depending on what you are doing (personal story or instances for example) the lag is really disturbing.
I never had these problems before, however they occure since the last patch. And just to mention, I only suffer from this lag in GW2. All other programms are working fine and without lag (my ping to google.com is 23ms, to the LoL servers its 17ms and to servers hosted in my country about 7-10 ms).

Lexandro.1456:

My point is that if they want to sell it as a “skin” they can do so via the TP with a costume set. Its not however, its ARMOR of RARE quality. The stats for a high cost item should reflect its costs.

So you are playing GW2, which’s endgame is based on your look.
In GW2 you have vertical progression, not horizontal (just for you: progression in GW2 means looking cooler).
So in GW2, which’s endgame is based on your look (like laready said), cooler looking items should cost more, because you don’t grind for better stats, but instead for better skins. if you don’t understand that logic, please quit the game and play WoW for your better stats.

Lexandro.1456:

Ps its not “inflation” its “deflation” when prices go down. LMAO.

I was never saying, that prices are going down…. (learn to read pls). Just for you to read it again:

There is no need for lowering the prices, they are totally fine. Even in the first two months of the game, ppl got the skins. Now, with ongoing inflation, ANet should think about making things more expansive.

When I say, ANet should makes things more expansive, that’s a reaction to INflation. MORE money, means money is worth less. This lead’s -in a normal econmy- to rising prices. If you doubt, that there is inflation in GW2, look at the TP now and compare it to what you have seen 4 months before.
Just saying, Dusk was for 5g on the TP, when it was listed the first time.

Jrunyon.3012:

People need to stop making these threads every week.

^Thanks…

Lexandro.1456:

How about reading the thread eh? Its the JUSTIFICATION of spending that amount of gold on sub par gear, why would I do so? I wouldnt of course because it does not make sense to do so.

Logic fail again by people with no concept of value.

You still don’t get it, do you? You don’t by it to equip yourself with, you buy it to apply the SKIN to exotic armor. YOU DON’T BUY IT FOR THE STATS. So stop saying, that T3 armor is only rare. IT DOESN’T MATTER.
I guess you only created the topic because you want the skin and you can’t afford it.

There is no need for lowering the prices, they are totally fine. Even in the first two months of the game, ppl got the skins. Now, with ongoing inflation, ANet should think about making things more expansive.

Rampage.7145:

Any card about 150$ will max out the game, if u still get bad performance it’s on ur CPU, GW2 isn’t really graphics heavy. It is very CPU intensive tho. The low FPS during WvW means a CPU bottleneck, a new card won’t fix that sorry.

Have a look at his CPU and his graphics card. Now tell me, which one is the bottleneck…

You can’t put a 250$ CPU together with a 100$ GPU. Sorry guy And about the GW2 Engine: it works very inefficiently. Though it’s very CPU heavy, it doesn’t support more than 1 GPU, which is totally outdated. But htis dudes CPU is totally fine, even for modern standards.

Your graphics card is more than outdated. When you bought your PC in 2010, that card was already outdated, since it was released in 2007/2008. And even after release, this was a pretty bad card.
So dude, I dont know how the game even runs on that card, but get a new one. Your fps will thank you.

MojitoJoe.5964:

Deutsche Telekom and Dzagonur-Server – unplayable (even worse than last year).
I paused since November last year due to heavy lag problems. At that time these problems got related to telekom-users in germany – do these telekom-problems have been fixed meanwhile and is it just bad luck that only TODAY it seems even worse than before OR were these telekom-GW2-Lag-problems never fixed and still persists or maybe got worse?

My provider is the Deutsche Telekom as well, ad I can ensure you, that this is the only kittening day in this year, I am experiencing that bad lag

GJ ANet. 3 of my chars are stuck in LA because of an neverending loading screen. At first, only my personal story instances were laggy, now I cant log in. Go and restart your servers… I still have to lvl up my guardian…

Seafarer’s Rest EU

At first I thought this was an engineer flaming about the best PvE and sPvP-duel class in the game. I played on my warrior for about 700 hours now, so I’m in a position, to dissect your post:

You: an underwhelming performance in any PvP scenario.

Go try sPvP. I now played 150 matches on my warrior, and they are great at killing people in sPvP, where you will win every 1vs1 (elementalists excluded). Warriors might not be that versitile in WvW, but search for a zerg, take your GS out, press 3 and 2 and collect your loot.

You: nigh-unkillable annoyance[…]

Go to sPvP and defend B-spot. Bunker builds on a warrior aren’t that good in generals. Take your GS, go 20/30/0/10/10 and do some damage. What’s what warriors are designed for.

You: We suck.

Just to clarify: You are the one, who is flaming, so you suck. There are tons of guys playing warriors, and just a small part of them suck, as do you

You: Meh, my traits and utility skills are bugged

GO AND USE SOME OTHER BUILD, kitten !! Frenzy works fine, Endure pain works fine, the signets (Singet of Rage’s passive excluded) work fine, all shouts work fine, just Bolas and Bull’s Charge are a bit off, but by far not unusable.

You: Where is our Utility in WvW or SPvP?

Go…do…….flipping………..1vs1s GUY! That’s what warriors are for. You can hit upto 3 targets so make something out of that.

Conclusion: If you suck on your warrior, go play some other class. There are stil 7 remaining. Noone forces you to play warrior and suck at it.

Next time, PLEASE, PLEASE use Fraps. For a “video”, that is only 18 seconds long, you can even use the free versionm that can capture 30 seconds….

And I thought, that -in times of Fraps and co- I never in my life had to see such bad videos, where a guy films his screen with some kitten cellphone. Faith in humanity -1

Charming Rogue.8071:

They still haven’t fixed the transmute glitch? I thought it worked now because it keeps his ‘legendary’ status after transmuting.

This is not a glitch, but it might not be intended to work that way for legendaries. If you transmute stuff, the part that makes up the stats determines the tier of the result. So, if you take Twilight and some exotic berserker greatsword and you pick the berserker stats, but the legendary skin, you will get an exotic as a result.

ANet, fix this bug, I’m getting tired of those bugusers, that do fractals with their lowlevels. Getting in fractals below lvl 80 was only possible during the Karka event, now remove this bs or remove the upscaling The whole group suffers, because those guys have low stats, which results in neverending bossfights…

And to stefman: You censored the difficulty scale, so it’s probably lvl 1, which you can do with your eyes closed. And why do I even wonder, why you filmed the easiest fractal out of all?

Malediktus.9250:

Very risky investment, as anet could reintroduce this temporary recipe at any time without a patch.

They took it out for some reason. Why should they reintroduce the recipe angain, if they dont want these items to be in the game? Just to fix some little part of the economy?

Mystic forge conduits have been manipulated over the last few weeks. I bought some to hold on, like 3 weeks ago, and since then I have realised sudden drops in supply.
Well, mytic forge conduits a perfect item to convert money into, as their value is always rising, because they can’t be reproduced.
So, if you want a conduit, kiss your new overlord’s feet :P

Well, just have a lok at my screenshot I’m a Warrior, why am I, as one of the “tankiest” classes of the game, taking that much damage?

There will never, ever be a race change. I don’t know, if you are new to these forums, but the question was asked like thousand times before.

I am using a R.A.T. 5 and my two side-buttons are working fine, though I dont have any drivers installed. Perhapps you should unistall yours :P (not trolling). My GW recognizes them as Mouse Button 4&5 btw

Well, if you post a legendary on the TP you have to make a decission: Either you want to get safe money and list it for like 2500g (125g listing fee) or you want to get the most possible money out of it and list it for 3000g (150g listing fee). But in the last case you might not be able to sell your legendary, so you have to relist it, and this means paying the listing fee twice.
If I was you, I would post it for something like 2500g on the TP, just to make sure someone buys it. Another methode is, to shout in LA and let the buyer put an order, just to make sure, that you sell your Juggernaut.

Hey guys,

as the thread’s name already said, I wanted to ask, why ANet is trying so hard, to keep us away from Rata Sum’s ground.

Since Beta Weekend #3 there are a lot of invisible walls in the outer areas of Rata Sum. If you try to jump from the cube itself a invisible wall will kill you in midair. If you however manage it to hit the ground alive, there is a script, that teleports you into a prison chamber ~.~

So why this whole efford to keep us away from what’s under Rata Sum? What is ANet hiding?

Hey fellow Tyrians,

the last days I found it really entertaining to break out of maps and I’m glad, that I finally found a way to get out of the Black Citadell.
Post your neat spots, you found by breaking out of the map below I’m quite interested in other spots to break out, since it’s challenging and a lot of fun.

Gilosean.3805:

Presents are like resource nodes. Every player nearby can pick them up.

They are time limited, so grab them before fighting mobs.

He doesn’t mean the presents, that spawn in normal areas, he means the presents you need to carry around in the PvP Minigame.
Well, this can take you a while, but since you only have to carry 5 presents, this isn’t that much of a deal.

This question was asked a thousand times before. Changing the sigil does not affect the legendary tier, it will still stay legendary.

Good job Anet, good job -.- I waited 3 hours just to leave the overflow, and now I’m dced

Asura
Warrior
No Speed Buffs
about 3 hours of trying-1 success

When I first started this puzzle, I really hated it, but now, after finishing this mad puzzle, I can say, that the 3 hours of trying are totally worth it
