Guild Wars 2

Ah I never look at the general discussion so I didn’t see it.

Recently registered at the US Patent and Trademark office.
Possibly the name of either one of the next episodes or the new season?

Pretty sure the episodes will still be available especially since they’re charging 200 gems per episode if you missed them.

see picture Could this be our new 3 lanes world boss?

Might be a world boss, might not be. We’ve already seen this creature near the beginning of Season 2 during the Caithe’s Reconnaissance mission.

I’m hoping we actually do fight that creature. It’s not identical to any mordrem we have fought so far (it’s not a thrasher and it’s certainly not close to any of the other mordrem) so I’m hoping it’s either a Mordremoth champion or some kind of guard dog. Either way it seems like that area will lead to a new area and that mordrem is blocking the path.

Celestial is nice because of the condi, power, and healing (and toughness and vitality). It gives you great sustain in all fields.

Zerker however is really good at singling out targets but you’d have a lot more trouble 1v2 due to having no defense.

Both are good for roaming it just depends on your playstyle (burst vs sustain).

It’s not guaranteed but ever since Anet introduced the new sigil/rune box for the new Wintersday runes/sigils I seem to crash. Again it doesn’t happen everytime but it’s always those boxes that crash me if and when I do crash.

Block duration is already 2s, the CD is at that if you get the reinforced shield trait, and the stun doesn’t need to be 1s.

People choose Elixir S because not only is it a stunbreak, it’s also an invuln and gives you 5 seconds of stealth.
People choose Tool Kit because of the pull, prybar, and gear shield. Box of nails is also useful for condi masking and getting rid of pesky blinds in melee.

When they release SAB again I’d rather they release world 3 along with it.

Culzean,

What armor is your ranger wearing?

Norn Medum Cultural tier 3 for shoulders, gloves and boots. Norn Cultural tier 2 for pants, sneakthief for chest.

ajekdur.6784:

hi, are there similar skins i can get in game instead of buying using gems? i am hoping to get the aetherblade skin, but i want to check if there are similar alternatives. thanks!

Closest you’re going to get with the aetherblade skin are the ascended pistol skins.

Sorry I tried to delete the thread but only deleted the first post… it read:

In the ‘Meeting the Asura’s part, there are 3 achievements, one of them being ‘Aggressive Infiltration’.
In the first room, when I knock every enemy down except the two that are facing each other(making it impossible to knock them down) and proceed to open the gate to the next area, the game sees that as a fail and I loose the ‘Aggressive infiltration’ achievement.
I think the game expects me to maybe kill everyone in the room including the two researchers facing each other. However this is very impossible, they never face anywhere else and trying to knock one of them down from the sides(as far as possible from either of them as humanly possible) doess not work because their field of view leaves literally no blindspots. Please fix this bug so I can get the ‘aggressive infiltration’ without having to kill those two or at least make them occasionally face elsewhere so I can knock them down. Otherwise this achievement is impossible to achieve.

Aggressive infiltration requires you to go guns blazing… that means don’t bother knocking people out just get caught and go wild.

Unless this season’s last episode is 9 hours long and has some real epic stuff in there, this season is a waste of time. Honestly.

It’s not gonna end with us fighting mordremoth, i can tell you that right now. With the way its shaping up it will end with us finding the egg and probably finding out that caithe was doing this to redeem herself for what they did to wynne. Anti-climactic and it all makes sense now, given who the story writers are.

And we know nothing about Rytlock, and have not even seen what Mordremoth looks like, and pact will be preparing for the assault for 6 months until season 3 kicks in? A very frustrating development.

We didn’t know what Zhaitan looked like until the Arah instance so….

Is this some kind of joke? We want less grinding Anet not even more grinding. Now we have to spend even more time trying to get breaches in order to rely on rng gods to give us what we need. Thanks a lot.

Nathanael.4398:

Do this when trying an achievement:
Carefully analyze the boss’s mechanics and think a way out of it!

When you kill one earth elemental a sandstorm spawns on the spame spot as the elemetal died. So don’t melee it and you won’t have a problem with it.
The wind is dodgeable with “dodge” 3 and 6.

“Don’t melee it”
90% of Caithe’s skills are mele, how do you expect us to not melee it?

Oh so they actually were going to use those hostile skritt for something. My guess is the JP is somewhere around that area.

I think we need less edgy weapons and armor and more artistic/practical weapons and armor. Tired of seeing flames everywhere.

Wait so stuff was on sale while I was at work? Really now? I work to make money and then I can’t spend said money cause the sale only lasted like 4 hours?

Ayrilana.1396:

The dragon will likely awaken in the season finale. Chances are they’ll bring back Rytlock at the very end too with some sort of great discovery.

What do you mean the dragon will awaken at the season finale? Mordremoth is already awake hence why everything is going to kitten with his minions running about.
Unless you meant the egg.

You know what makes it really obvious that this is fake? The fact that this takes place in the pact camp which didn’t even exist when Scarlet was alive.
Oh also Taimi and Ingotspitter.

This has been discussed before and the Devs said no for pretty much all the reasons stated above.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

No no no. Seriously, I have enough trouble seeing in that area as it is. Without looking at the minimap I would not have been able to navigate it. (and this is not a gamma or brightness issue, it’s just that dark to me).

That sounds like a brightness/gamma problem to me… I could see just fine in the instance (except for a few parts). Any darker and it would be dark to the point where you would need some kind of external lightsource.

Chaith.8256:

If you do use Rifle, make sure you answer any smugness from hiding inside Swirling Winds with a prompt Blunderbus, Jump Shot, Prybar.

I don’t see them enough to really get countered by them, though.

This goes for eles that throw up their magnetic aura to try and reflect your ranged attacks lmao.

VitalSuit.1980:

There’s 8 episodes. The last pieces of Carapace armor are unlocked on episode 8 (says so in the descriptions).

Or rather episode 8 is the last portion of this LS.

I can’t look ATM, and I never noticed the releases dated, but when you say pieces, you mean more than one slot or same slot, different ac?

Headpiece and Chest piece in episode 8, leggings and boots in episode 7, gloves episode 6, shoulders episode 5.

Go to the account wardrobe and look for all the carapace pieces (should be easy considering all the armors are in alphabetical order).

Creld.8702:

Quick note on twig’s post: Sigil of Energy is nearly useless as you have no weapon swap (it will proc on elixir s). On hit or always on sigils would be a better choice.

Either you have never played an Engi, or you have not played nearly enough, because this is the first time I see someone saying Sigil of Energy is nearly useless.

On-swap sigils worked for our kits since ages ago, we are like the best class to utilize them.

Pay attention more? The build has no kits so energy sigil is worthless.

Elixir gun’s acid bomb has far more damage than thumper turret but the jump back is a little disorienting. One thing I do is do a 180 so my back is facing the wall and then use it that way I wont’ fly away from the stack.

Laying down bombs would have put you in combat making you run slower.
In order to get around that brief pause on Rocket Boots you should swap in and out of a kit just as you’re about to land.
Also make sure there’s no wonky terrain because it loves to do that 90 degree/180 degree a lot.

After your rotation you basically autoattack with the bomb kit for damage. Drop fire bomb, flame blast + detonate flame blast, keep autoattacking with bomb kit and then do your whole rotation again.

Where’s the typo? I don’t see it?

Groonz.7825:

Instead of forwards, go backwards (west?) there is a flamethrower in the room.

Wow what? I must have missed it entirely cause I had went backwards too lol.

Anyone have any idea how to get this? I tried using the NPCs to kill the thrasher but that didn’t give the achieve. My only guess is that we have to use fire from the environment somehow.

Thumper turret wouldn’t work as well and would definitely be a dps loss. Acid bomb hits hard and is unblockable, thumper turret won’t come near it.

Ameno.6813:

Engi if you want to be a hipster like the rest of us, Ele if you wan’t to be relevant in the PvE meta.

But engis are relevant in the PvE meta? Vuln stacking, now that FGS was nerfed Eles can’t vuln stack anywhere near as well as us.

Chaith.8256:

High-er dps, better control. Or the option to run a successful condition build.

The Ele is much more inflexible if you’re at a competitive enough level to care about learning the stronger profession choice.

Uh? With Lightning Hammer isn’t ele dps the highest out of all professions?

It took me this long to realize that Mr. E is a pun? Jesus Christ.

Mr. E
Mister E
Mystery

Will it happen or was it a one time thing?

This happens with a lot of armors. Strider’s armor for example has the same issue.

Rangers are great, but people who play ranger suck.
Most of the time you’ll get ranger without spotter or FS, and they will camp LB.
So yeah most of rangers will be kicked for that, the thing is, people don’t know ranger can be good, so they won’t bother checking if the ranger has a sword and the required utilities.

aahh this LB stereotype..tell me..in what shortbow or mainhand axe are better? lb is actually good switch for cripple+vuln on fight start, then swap to sword (or even gs if you cant manage to stay alive on sword/whatever)

the biggest problem, that dont want to go away is warrior mentality. lfg is full of 3-4 warriors parties (when 2 is acceptable maximum, best 1 with 2 banners) that i dont even try to join, as its mostly disaster. and noone mentions this on forums

No he said they will CAMP lb. He never said lb is bad but camping lb is certainly the worst thing you can do.

Personally even if I join zerker runs on the lfg and a ranger joins they will be full zerker but they’ll camp lb and have a bear. I tell them to bring spotter and frost spirit and to get rid of the kitten bear and they ignore me saying something stupid like “bear has more health so it survives better”.

Randulf.7614:

I had no idea you couldnt complete them on an alt when you had finished the story on your main. That explains a lot!

What a baffling thing to implement

It was like that for the first portion of LS Season 2 though?

As long as you don’t use your skill5, the kit can be freely switched as any Engy kit.

Ahaha no. The whole point of an elite is to be your wild card. Making it so you can equip it/unequip it whenever you want defeats the purpose of an elite. Should have a timer just like all the other elites.

aspirine.6852:

lgf tool doesnt work at all for this.

It does, you’re just not paying attention.

Uh, just using the wp does not change your map.

Canker Bush XI.7423:

All of the crystal segments were silent for me. I just saw a few scenes of a guy bending down, and one where he got an egg. Then the Detective Duo used exposition to thankfully interpret what I’d been seeing.

Yes all of the crystal holograms were silent except for the last one. The last one specifically had a voice over in it and I’m not talking about the forced couple that they throw our way every chance they get.

You don’t. You get the luminescent skin from the collection.

Paradox.1380:

Whuuut is this about? Enlighten a Non-GW1 Player?

Everyone should dance in front of the Abaddon statue, see what happens.

Without the crit damage modifier though your crits will be negligible. Zerk/Assassin’s mix will still be superior.

I’m assuming we’re gonna get these in the gem store later…
(All of the pact are using some kind of new pact themed weapons, not the ones from Zhaitan but brand new designs, looks like they have insect wing type designs on them).

Zaklex.6308:

I believe you are attempting this incorrectly…don’t worry about saving the entire group, some are meant to die as they are not rezzable, try completing the instance with all of the survivors after reaching the observation point.

Only 1 person in the instance is not rezzable, that’s the whisper’s initiate that’s between the 3 groups of wolves. Caithe’s entire group is alive and well though and they get absolutely annhilated by the mordrem and the achievement goes away. Right now even in a group setting this is impossible.
