Guild Wars 2

Optimization in GW2 has been bad since the beta’s…

StinVec.3621:

Give the champ farmers a week and they’ll move on. In about a week, I foresee most of the new skins being worth under 5 gold on the TP, as many are already down to a gold or two and change.

Most are already under 5 gold.

That said, I don’t understand either why people farm Queensdale when there is a much more time-efficient and rewarding “Champion loop” in Frostgorge Sound (Drakkar Spurs).

Let’s just hope Evon assassinates Kiel in the next release of the Living World.

Her character is bland and boring, and needs to go.

Yeah, owning a Liadri mini is now a requirement to join my dungeon parties.

Elitists for life, fist bump!

Hastur.6231:

“1) Interesting gameplay challenges in the Gauntlet: many, if not most, players have had to put some thought into skills, gear, tactics to beat all levels of challenge here. I know I did. Getting players out of their usual comfort zones is a Good Thing.”

Errata:

“1) One-shot gameplay challanges in the gauntlet: many, if not most, players had to spend 30-50 gold on gear they will never use again, swap to alts because your main can’t handle certain encounters/achievments. I know I liked it. Getting players out of their usual comfort zones for 1 event only is a Good thing.”

WAT?!

Had to? They knew full well it was only for a mini and perhaps a few achievement points. Nothing forced them.

And 30-50 gold is enormously exaggerated.

Destroy the rift before it pulls? you have like 10 seconds…

If there’s a problem, it’s the camera being obstructed by the dome.

Warrior, 20/20/0/0/30 zerker, Greatsword + Longbow, Heal Signet, Signet of Stamina, Endure Pain, Kick, Signet of Rage. +40% dodge food.

67 attempts.

Probably none.

Either way I doubt a potion would make much difference when fighting her.

Oranisagu.3706:

snip

This. Infact I couldn’t do some gauntlets with full zerker build because I needed stuff like Stability.

Gauntlet is much easier on condition Thieves than it is on zerker Warriors.

Erika.8256:

Another really cool bug – after someone wipes on the oozes or falls, the oozes have a high chance not to despawn. I think I’ve wasted around 10 tickets due to this, having to fight mini oozes + my boss.

This. Also happens with people who use the Earthquake gambit. The earthquakes stay even for the person after them.

You can buy them for 200 dungeon tokens at the dungeon vendors.
“An offering used in dungeon recipes.”

Anyone know any of these recipes?

Mad Rasputin.7809:

DR kicks in if you run the same path too quickly, even on different toons.

But with this latest patch, you are awarded 20 tokens for completing the path and a bonus 40 tokens with teh daily gold reward chest. Doing the same path again with a different toon will yield you 20 tokens and NOT the additional 40 tokens that they moved to the bonus daily chest.

This was a stealth nerf and there really is no reason for it.

Except it wasn’t stealth as it was announced and in the patch notes.

Vol.5241:

You implement the system you describe and these skins suddenly lose any value. We don’t need these skins flooding the market. Rarity is good.

Because everyone cares about the market, value or rarity?

No.

Milennin.4825:

Now it’s also suppressing my chat messages for a few thanks and np’s for ressing and getting ressed by people…=/

Please stop saying thanks and np when being ressed or ressing people. It’s annoying and unnecessary.

It’s bugged.

An Error Prevented Saving:
Message Body length must at least be 15.

Any tips on the 2nd stage of the fight?

I can easily throw 3 orbs at her, but when she starts attacking the instant-kill AoE starts hitting at alarming rates, even with 40% endurance food I can’t dodge fast enough to get out the AoE’s, let alone start damaging her.

Amadan.9451:

i guess this achievement are meant only for 1 specific class and it’s not the engineer…

sorry i’m just little angry because on my computer i can’t defeat the guardian because the one shot animation starts after i’ve been downed so i never now when to dodge it

Don’t get downed in the first place? The whole gauntlet is beatable on engineer: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1jtdkv/got_my_mini_liadri_the_concealing_dark_d/

Treeline.3865:

This is insane, Vicious fangs and claws drop like it was junk items

They are junk now

aspirine.6852:

So first the drops are bad, and now they are too good? Could you stop the nerf cry untill people stuck at work can give it a go? =)

People don’t say the drops are too good, they are wondering if it’s intended. Anet has smashed the nerfhammer down really härd (on) most, if not all, other “loot heavens”. The update is live for only a few hours but the markets are already crashing down really hard (especially t5/t6 mats).

(Why is hard (on) kitten’d?)

This bug has been in the game ever since they added the boss achievements. Don’t count on it getting fixed anytime soon.

Lethalvriend.1723:

If you consider the other asura gates all pointing towards their destination (LA portals point towards the actual cities) you could guess where they may lead to.

LA portals don’t point towards their destination. The portals to Divinity’s Reach and Rata Sum do (more or less accurate), but the rest doesn’t; portal to the Grove points towards Orr, portal to the Black Citadel points towards the Crystal Desert and the portal to Hoelbrak points, if anywhere, to the village of Butcher’s Block.

If these “new” portals DO point to their destination, the destinations would be in:
Magus Falls, Maguuma Wastes, Woodland Cascades, Far Shiverpeaks, Deldrimor Front and the Crystal Desert.

That said, the portals are still inactive on Gandara.

150€ (~195$) for Collector’s Edition, nothing else.

So far I don’t feel the least inclined to spend any money on gems. The style items only have a single use, the boosts and upgrades (such as bank tabs, char slots) are way too expensive, and everything else in the store is based on RNG (with unknown odds for each item). That said, most gemstore-skins are ugly. @Anet: Port some from GW1.

Buying gems just to support Anet is also off the list (unlike GW1). I won’t support RNG.

Copy/paste all (all) armor skins from GW1.

Please.

For the same reason we can’t dye weapons.

(????)

Killing him without others is (or atleast was) possibly. It will take very long, it’s incredibly boring and is a total waste of time. Better to find those 4 other players.

somsom.5201:

These key drops are rarer than pre’s imo.

Yeah, in your opinion. The game disagrees.

Zenith.6403:

Waar Kijk Je Naar.8713:

Rangers and Engineers especially are worthless.

- Ranger is the only class that can deal autoattacks from 1500 range and stack 20 vulnerability quickly.

Autoattacks are worthless if they barely do any damage… and vulnerability is limited to 25 stacks which is reached regardless of a ranger stacking it 20 times or not.

There is no “FOTM”.

Warriors, Guardians and Mesmers have always been the way to go, and still are. Rangers and Engineers especially are worthless.

“Bag Slots and Bank Tabs are 20% off in the Gem Store through February 26!”

This takes a patch with a size of over 28mb? I don’t believe it. Where’s the real patch notes?

They did actually give a warning.

“New build available. Client will restart in 3 minutes”

marnick.4305:

It’s one of those small things that shows A.net really cares about their players. The only time you ever see a dev tag in <that big MMO> is when they ban you, even with cool events.

Don’t overreact. It was just an employee playing the game. He wanted a boost, so he got one. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don’t care that they’re square, but what bothers me is that most of them are divided by a bunch of brown hills that shouldn’t be there.

Moxtidus.4576:

Legendaries must be hard to obtain.

Precursors are hard to obtain.

Work as intented.

Stop QQ.

Correct.
Correct.
Incorrect.
Calling perfectly reasonable suggestions “QQ” adds nothing to the discussion and, if anything, makes you look like a child who can’t think up any reasonable argument.

Damage done doesn’t affect drops.

From Colin Johanson

it is still possible to kill a creature and not do enough damage to qualify for loot

Damage does affect drops, but does it also affect quality is what I’m asking.

Again, damage does NOT affect drops. It doesn’t matter if you do 2000 or 50000 damage, as long as 2000 is enough to tag the monster, anything above that is unnecessary, and has no effect on quality of drops or anything else.

No.

Damage done doesn’t affect drops. Porous Bones drop a lot for everyone. If you want better loot, get gear with Magic Find %, luck stacks, magic find consumables, etc.

As for builds, just make sure you get enough damage to tag monsters. Anything above that isn’t necessary.

Some do, some don’t.

If you say “All the events” I assume you mean events in Cursed Shore?
Events only scale up to a certain amount of players, anything above that makes it easier.

AoE Looting. Press F once, loot all nearby items.
Having to press F 10 times is unhealthy for both your fingers and your keyboard.

Allow different hotkeys for looting/reviving/talking/other interactions. Currently they’re all bound to the same key.

Tbh they don’t even need to increase the drop rate of precursors from monsters, chests or Mystic Toilet. They just need to stop people from manipulating the market.

The TP is a great concept and it works…. for 99.9%. With most items the supply/demand is so high, it is very very hard to manipulate it on your own, or even with a group of people. However with items with a limited supply/demand, it is very easy, and very lucrative to do so because your manipulating affects everyone.

It doesn’t happen with only precursors, also with other items with limited supply/demand, for example the Deathly Mantle Skin back in January 21st, the price tripled, and some few people made a lot of money.

There are people out there who make 5000g per week by buying out precursors and putting them up for more. This has got to stop.

Limit the buying (and selling) of precursors and legendaries to 1 (or 2) a day and the market will settle down. This will not hurt anyone except market manipulators.

You can already with Laurels. Possibly more ways later on.

Oh really? Then my guildie was wrong. I was told only some of the fractal items were available with laurels.

Good news, thanks.

Well ofcourse there’s some skins that you can only get in fractals, but that’s no different than other dungeons.

Max-stat stuff isn’t limited to fractals (anymore).

Veldan.4637:

Waar Kijk Je Naar.8713:

Tbh if you play 8 hours and get only 4 rares, you’re unlucky

fixed it for you

No. Just no. If you get 1 rare per 2 hours of playing it’s your own fault entirely. It has absolutely nothing to do with luck.

Learn to tag mobs.

Difference between Ascended and Exotic is very small. Sometimes Exotics are actually better because they can hold either Runes or gemstones, while Ascended pieces have a specific gemstone already included in their stats but cannot hold a rune.

I don’t do fractals. Never will. I know this though, as a player, they should offer everything available in a fractal through laurels or other means.

You can already with Laurels. Possibly more ways later on.

Tbh if you play 8 hours and get only 4 rares, you’re doing it wrong.

Sometimes I get 4 rares in 10 minutes.

Master of Overkill reset to 299999
Hammer/Greatsword master (possibly others aswell) reset to 4999
I got Hammer Master again by scoring a kill with a greatsword (????)

Lost over 50 achievement points, not sure what from.

kokiman.2364:

those people who are “bad” at the game and still insist on using MF Gear even though they get grounded by every mob in a dungeon are just flat out stupid and stubborn and don’t want to contribute anything to the group. Those are the people who play warrior with GS and Rifle and 5 Signets in a GROUP!

No, those are Berserker Warriors and probably deal more damage than the other 4 party members combined, given that there aren’t any other Warriors in the party.

Yes, some people suck at it and should play a support Guardian instead, but stop generalizing because there’s a lot of people who are good at it and don’t die more than average.

And there were also people who liked the idea of Guardians (because we knew there wouldn’t be a dedicated healer) and liked that the technology in the game world had progressed.

People shut up about it because they realised Anet wouldn’t remove them from the game anyway.

Didn’t Colin “Everlasting Smile” Johanson say in a recent interview that the current player population was higher than they had expected?

Anything but dead.

Legendary=Ascended > Exotic

Good job getting out of that one dev, dig a deeper hole will ya.

It’s not wide, but it is goes all the way to the bottom!

Stop using youtube, they’re hollywood stooges and are now applying region restrictions to videos.

Welcome to the internet, good sir.

What do they gain from this other than the feeling that they are torturing some random person whom has done nothing wrong to them?

Experience, drops, progress towards monthly achievement…?

You think there’s actually a point for open world pvp. You pvp to kill people, nothing else.

Speak for yourself.

No. Maybe Halloween next year if they decide to start selling the same costumes.

But maybe they won’t. Don’t count on it.
