Guild Wars 2

15 chara

I’m not a charr guy so I wouldn’t know… But I’m assuming that’s a new armor set? Please do correct me if I am wrong

Translates to “you have to prepare for everything” for some reason they release Spanish teaser images before English, anyways discuss!

I don’t think you will get instant xp when you open the bags, like mentioned above you will get tomes which can be used on any character.

Also, could they please stack? I apparently have two kinds of level 20 experience scrolls, taking up two stacks in the vault.

Different birthday year.

I’m sure anet did plan for it to turn the way it did, it is very hard to predict what kind cleaver shortcuts players will come up with in order to get the shinies fast.

I understand that a lot of things are textured automatically, but this is right on your face when you are on your way up the new JP, did no one testing the content notice this?

I know this is an old topic but it has been happening to me, is there a fix for it?

Dawntree.7246:

+1 to chest only after successful events

also I’d like to have a balanced distribution around forts, not just swarming near Amber

The problem is that the chests and events were meant to be completely different mechanics and not connected to each other in any way other than the needed shovel that you can occasionally get as a rewards. The chests were meant to have people hunt them down when they got a shovel or 2 throughout the map. Unfortunately the 2 mechanics are now impacting each other and causing imbalance.

Not sure what the problem here is. After we trigger the assault, and kill all the bosses, we zerg around hunting for chests for 5 minutes. We redo the event, complete, zerg, rinse and repeat. My only complaint is the lack of bank access.

The key detail here is that all other fortresses are neglected, and only Amber is defended. While this does progress the meta, it’s a lot less efficient.

Honestly, I wish ArenaNet had made it a mandatory requirement to hold all Forts at level 3 defence to trigger the breach.

Today I joined (randon on login) a chest farming map. It was horrid for actual profit per hour compared to an organized full map completing map. First, I didn’t get a single shovel the whole time – defending every time it was up. I think the higher the defense rating, the higher the shovel chance. I also received fewer gear bags and no rare gear bags from the breaches.

A completing map seems to get me way more of all the bags faster. In between defenses, I could easily hit up several chests outside any fort I opted to be at. The extra rare loot bags from killing more breach champs really add up. And the breach happens faster (or at least seems to) when the map is doing everything. Let alone more of the regular gear bags that can give rares and exotics too.

Straight shovel farming seems less efficient than other areas of the game. I think most people just aren’t realizing this and/or are preferring to mooch other’s shovels/work.

This is wrong. People are making hundreds of gold chest farming. I go in there with no shovels and come out with no shovels and still manage to get a ton of loot. The Zerg is self sufficient. The number posts about this issue is a testament as to why this is so broken.

This is definitely not working as intended, I farmed for about 2 hours and go a stack of champ bags, about 1500 Dragonite, countless badges and many other random things such as bags of gear and other ascended materials. The rate in which you get badges seems to be far more rapid than the rate you can buy and use keys. Shovels didn’t seem to be a problem as it seems the zerg always has enough to unearth all the chests around amber. Also, for some reason everyone puts up yellow commander tags (why?)

Coming to the forums to ask “Why is my zerker gear. Not killing fast I’m good” will only get you griff

discuss please!

That’s really freaking cool!

Also stuck at work.

Obsessions are never a good thing.

Well, this is game is about preparing to have fun.

I wasn’t aware people were allowed to enjoy the game anymore. Seems if you enjoy it you’re either a white knight or a secret employee

No no he is right. Its preparing for having fun, end game content… OH WAIT

Congratulation! You have reached level 80! Go level an other alt. don’t worry we’ll hold your hand again. -gw2

GOSU.9574:

You think that MMO cornered the market on farming?

It is pretty infamous for that.

GOSU.9574:

You think that MMO has all the grind?

Quantitatively? As in it’s a big black hole swallowing up all the grind in the universe? No.

Is it grindy in of itself? Very much.

GOSU.9574:

You think GW2 doesn’t require farming?

It doesn’t. Most games don’t require farming.

If you mean ASAP route for shiniest thing, the farming needed isn’t anywhere on the level of most MMOs, including WoW.

A lot of these ASAP route people then mock the game as being too casual. So. Yeah.

GOSU.9574:

You think GW2 doesn’t require grind?

Not for anything essential, no.

GOSU.9574:

Did you fully buy into that manifesto?

Largely faithful overall. Can’t complain really.

GOSU.9574:

This is all very cute.

What, no flowers?

VergilDeZaniah.3295:

Not to be greedy, but I’m excited in the way we will be one step closer to the next, hopefully thrilling, announcement.
For what it brings? Not excited, I’m just welcoming some things.

Pretty much how I think a lot of us feel… Just things to take off the list that will bring us closer to what we actually want.

Nvm, used the mobile Authentication.

For some reason the computer on which I play all the time for the passed 2 years has changed it’s ip (haven’t done anything different but I guess Ips can change) when I’m prompted to wait for an email it never arrives. Is this normal? Should I give it like a day or so? The response from the game client makes it seem like the email should arrive within seconds. Thanks in advanced.

It’s over 9000.

So my Suggestion is a simple one, but i am sure a lot of people would love it.

With all of items that transport you to a different location being added to the gem store i thought it would be a good idea to add an item that consolidates these items to save inventory space, add an other awesome item to the gem store, and also keep other options opened when it comes to future items to be added. Not really much to explain about it as the attached image is self explanatory. The items can be added to it and taken off as one pleases, that way people who don’t want it don’t feel like they need it, and if someone needs to move items around their chars can still do so with ease. tell me what you think and support it if you like it!

Should I buy it now or wait for the one that has a 20% chance to land me on top of a jumping puzzle on the way back?

On a different issue all together… Insnt 900gems a bit steep?

On the latest trailer! What does this mean?!

I must be the luckiest sob or the unluckiest. After my first sandstorm I got a bug (which I don’t want) and an ascended weapon box (with crappy) stats.. So I got 2 rare drops that I can’t use or give away… Or sell.

Give him a new look, make him look bad kitten with new armor or something. They usually do this in movies and tv shows when the characters gone for a while return looking different. Maybe this will make people like him more… What do you guys think?

+1

He is a necro, and sylvary necros can look very b_d_ss. I suggest that devs go to the stick thread of “post your necro looks here”, and take some ideas.

I think they would take the same approach they have been taking where they give him a unique armor and or weapons which will than become available on the gem store.

I suggested something like this.

Stacking is the way clever players utilize the flawed mechanics that the game has. ANet though LoS would make the game harder but it made it easier. Stacking is basically the same concept that gw1 had with body blocking. You would use the terrain to trap mobs and while you tanked your party would nuke. There was never cry about this form of play back than why is there so much hate for stacking?

Vesuvius.9874:

Tengu confirmed! Btw nice photoshopping skills.

It’s not photoshop… Look at the video I posted and read other comments… Somebody broke out of the map and poped a TP NPC

Same happened to my group. The turrets around it activated while the golem staid friendly. Only solution after that is to restart the dungeon.

Minute 11:15

I have a plan to get an internship at anet, on my first week I will pretend to work through lunch but in reality I will be fixing the search function. Once that is fixed I will walk out to never return. If successful, I will apply the same measure to other anet related issues.

They could … Heck it’s on the game already since you could use it when we had overflows but that is a cheap and ineffective way to do it just because if a lot of people are waiting by the time you hit that enter button someone else jumped in in front of you and your screwed. There needs to be a better solution to the issue.

I can only assume that a few people saw Woodenpotatoe’s guide to key farming on youtube, he mentions a minor sigil of speed there.

Just noticed is has been fixed… I didn’t see anywhere on the patch notes it was fixed, was it a ninja patch?

Dont hate the Zerket hate the poorly designed play style.

Why can’t you just play non zerker with your non zerker party and let zerker do what they do instead of crying for a nerf?

You mean you wiped at the boss even with your super awesome tanking gear? The game most be broken, as mentioned before join groups tha meet your requirements such as th typical “anyone welcome” or “any build welcome” of not start your your own group.

This would be as simple as applying the “Daily” system into a daily dungeon system’ pretty much a copy and paste really… Easy to implement and it can be turned off for people that don’t wanna see it just like dailies or monthlies… Don’t know why it isn’t in game already with anets obsession of “once per day per account”

So… Changing subject away from this fight… I saw a warrior get kicked last nigh for using gs, when I asked why he was kicked the leader told me because he wasn’t running Nikes build, I wonder how that jerk feels today.

MithranArkanere.8957:

2h weapon drops never drop with 2 sigils.

You donnt say.

MithranArkanere.8957:

And by the time you get any personal story weapon or armor, you are likely to have a better piece of equipment already. So those are simply salvaged most of the time.

Irrelevant but yeah, look at the attached image, that sigil is worth 6g.

MithranArkanere.8957:

And if they gave 2 sigils to some of the rewards, whenever they appear along 1h rewards, people will probably pick the 2h for the upgrades anyways.

Giving people a choice is wrong because?

With the update to 2-Handed weapon sigils shouldn’t personal story rewards be updated to reflect the change?

Same here, none seems to be able to see what i type either as none is answering me… i feel.. isolated.

A Legendary back item would obviously be released with its own skin.

My thief stealths, backstabs you, stealths again and runs away laughing.

stealing should actually steal gold from the target

“Game message: Your target is broke, you cannot steal from the poor”

Daedalus.4193:

One Rune of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 power
Two Runes of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 Power + 15% Burning Duration
Three Runes of the Flame Legion total buff: 25 Power + 15% Burning Duration + 50 Power

See below

Superior Rune of the Flame Legion

(1): +25 Power
(2): +15% Burning duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 5% chance to cause Burning for 1 second when hit. (cooldown: 5s)
(5): +90 Power
(6): +5% damage against Burning targets.

Hope that helps…its not cumulative but adds additional single buff each time you add another rune of the same set (some stats appear twice on some runes sets and so do get added) – but basically you get each line in the set bonus once.

Basically this, look at your armor with the runes on them, if there is grayed out bonuses that means that you have to add an other rune of the same name in order to reach that bonus. Once you have 6 of the same runes you would have access to all 6 bonuses that set of rune provides.
