Guild Wars 2

Well in the sense of it staying around if it’s not destroyed i’m all for never injecting anti toxin again, we’ll actually get some perma living story content =D

Honestly, she needs more face time. This warp in warp out style she has doesn’t allow us to give a good smacking… Though as a villian it’s the smart way of doing things, don’t expose yourself for the goodie heros to get it.

So it’s almost a week past on TC and the bar for injections is ALMOST 20% Do you think we’ll actually kill the tower in the next week before the new LS content?

Perhaps it’s Anet testing out giving PVP players some extra cash.

Me and my friend have a sinking suspicion that most of the people complaining about the Skyhammer change are hammer warriors.

My minion master is actually getting a boost =D I’m okay with this. >.>

Alrighty a simple suggestion that can improve RP by leaps and bounds in this wonderful game. We need a vendor that can sell bundles for campfires. Nothing adds that classic, outdoorsy RPG feel then being able to set up a camp site and a campfire would be the very first step towards this.

This would be an easy toss in, we already have campfire models in game, toss a bit of ground target and bundle coding onto them and let us set up a warm campsite in the frigid Shiverpeaks!

Everything is solo-able even the champions when you learn the fights. This is very close to perfect from Anet. The mobs are hard and interesting, you can zerg or solo the open world area and all the instances are easy solo and scale for those who want to go with a group. I did everything with my full rabid necro and my zerker thief. I had to change my skills many times and go slowly on my thief but I soloed the spider and the wurm and made it to the top twice. I died a few times, mostly because I made silly mistakes or because I tried to rez someone, but paid for the armor repair and the travel golem and continued.

It took a zerg of 40 people 7 minutes to kill the spider queen and you claim to solo it…. I doubt you soloed the champion wurm since from that zerg of 40 around ~25 made it alive after killing it and you claim to solo it…. Cool stories uncle Kelnter. Tell us more.

You do very well know that the more people in an area the stronger event champions get right? 40 people means the bosses HP skyrocketed and so did his damage. =P

An example, I was just running through level 2 with no one else around, got to the worm queen she was only vet status cause NO ONE was around when she spawned up. I promptly soloed her with little issue.

/want…. Will give arm and three fingers for.

There is a metric kitten of guild wars 1 lore to sort through and they’ve been doing a half decent job… Just look at the zepherites and glint ((If you don’t catch that go look it up))

Problem is the game has been out for a year and they can’t pump out every little bit of GW1 and GW2 tie in lore at one time, just wait through.

God forbid Anet mixes things up and tries out some new stuff. Hell we have NO OTHER INFORMATION ON THIS other then it cures conditions.

Get over it, let it come out then kitten about it.

Epic I think I will get it then =D Thank you very much for your help JuiceBox

Hey all i’m looking for some information on the skills that come with the blood prince outfit, mainly for costume brawl of course.

Then EVERYONE can wear them and lions arch can be a giant coven. See where i’m going with this?

They aren’t supposed to attack separate targets than you.

Which is a garbage way to implement it. It promotes dumbed down lazy gameplay.

Not entirely… They arn’t supposed to be ranger pets… Hell why would I play a ranger if I can have 7+ minions that are fully controllable.

At this point you start bleeding into WoW turf where every class is the same, do you want a sword? Or a greatsword?

I don’t know why you would still play a ranger if necro had a pet attack button

but I would play one if I wanted superior damage at max range, stealth, great mobility and better control over my pet, ALL things a necro STILL wouldn’t have.

try not to bring WoW into this….

you’re just making yourself look bad.

I’m using WoW as a basis for an inferior class system and the fact that kitten near all of them are the same.

Also, not seeing too many rangers in PVP that must say something. =P

Either way, still having absolutely zero issue getting my minions too attack. I’m starting to think it might be internet related but i’m seriously running out of idea’s on what the issue is with other peoples minions.

only thing a MM necro needs to watch out for is the moa hard counter. If they’re clone spam they’re squishy as hell or they’re never going to kill you.

@Bhawb: While that range sounds about right, how did you actually test that?

I turned off fast-casting and went into heart of the mists. I first acquired aggro on a golem by auto attacking with staff out until my Bone Minion ran off to kill him, then I ran back until he de-aggro’d (hit the leash range) and ran back to me. At that point, I very slowly walked forward step by step until he went back to attacking (they “remember” their aggro if you leave range), finding the exact spot where the leash is at max range.

Then I used a mark, and placed it at max range, using the green/red indicator to place it right on the 1200 range. I walked forward to the middle of the mark (still quite a ways away) and swapped to my axe/focus off-hand, and started walking back to the furthest from the golem edge of the mark, and saw that the right where the range indicator for the focus skills being in range was the very edge of the mark, so:

Leash Range = (1200 range – 180 mark radius) + 900
Leash Range = 1920

That’s some science and kitten right there.

Alright, so I tossed together a ghetto video showing my minions in action.

Please excuse the kitten gamma, apparently fraps decided to use my ingame, fullscreen gamma which is set to max for some of those dark jumping puzzles. I play in windowed fullscreen where it uses the desktop gamma.

They haven’t given me a single hiccup, I may make another video showing off the target swapping too, whichi’m having no issues with.

This is extremely puzzling as just about everyone on this topic is having the exact opposit effect. Perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

I might have to make a video my minions are giving kitten near 100% responsiveness atm. They take a second or two on target switch but it used to be 5+ before today’s patch.

I also took them into structured. They where on every target like flies to ****

I wonder what the difference is… Still testing, still almost spot on and instant attack assigning.

/me dawns tinfoil hat. “It’s a scheme for us to buy more inventory slots.”

I hope not,, seeing as it will take 100,000 candy corn and 400 inventory spaces just to get the cobs.

Hm, that’s really odd, I was just doing tests in ganderan and it seemed instant when I hit 1.

Anyone else noticing a boost in the melee minions response to combat after the new patch? Even in the labyrinth with the zerg i’m finding them almost auto responding to my commands.. It may just be wishful thinking but this would be the honest to god best thing to pop out of this patch.

Bit of a spoiler here, did ANYONE else absolutely love the blood prince fight, fun writing epic VA and really enjoyable characters. Brovo arena net BRAVO!

From my own, personal experience i’ve been having the WORST trouble with warriors. Mostly hammer stun builds since my MM necro only has one true stunbreak with my fleshworm.

Can’t get through the perma stability even when I purge it with Focus 5

Already been done way better see above ^

I would think it’s safe to assume we’ll get another shot at Mad King’s complete. Since that was decent content and it would be a shame to chuck solid lore behind the main focus of this holiday.

I may have gotten this but 800 gems is far too much for this kind of content. That’s like a monthly subscription and I don’t think that’s worth a month in subscription fees.

What you said is completely contradictory. If you bought it, it’s priced correctly. That’s how supply and demand works.

They didn’t say that they bought it, they said that they may have been interested in buying it had it not been as expensive as it is, that had it been less expensive they’d have probably picked one up.

That is also in line with my feelings on the subject of Infinite Gathering Tools; I don’t mind “Soulbound on Use”, but at 800 Gems each…thanks, but no thanks. If they were 200 Gems each I’d be buying dozens of them. At 800 I won’t even be buying one.

Again, ArenaNet…people are more willing to make many smaller amount purchases over a single larger one, even if it ends up costing more in the long run. At 200 Gems each, I’d happily spend 6000 gems to outfits 10 characters with a single set of Infinite Gathering Tools, instead I’m spending no gems.

I’d also have no problem with buying additional versions of the infinite tools on each of those 10 characters when they are released or made available. I’d swap out to whichever I felt like using at the time. So also buying each variation of each Infinite Gathering Tool across 10 characters would really add up.

Infinite Gathering Tools
10 Characters
3 Infinite Tools Each
3 Variations of Each Tool (when made available)
18,000 – # of Gems I’d spend @ 200 Gems per tool
22,500 – # of Gems I’d spend @ 250 Gems per tool
ZERO – # of Gems I’ve spent and will ever spend on Infinite Tools that cost 800 Gems Each

And that’s just on Infinite Gathering Tools and not even getting into what would have been spent on pieces from a single set of Gem Armor had armor pieces been sold individually in the gem store instead of as full sets.

99% of marketing is psychology.

Well some of us don’t have insane amounts of characters. 800 gems is pretty kitten ed proportionate with for me with your chart. =D

That thing is terrifying. I love seeing guild wars getting a bit darker.

I don’t mind scarlet, sure she resembles the joker with the joking sadistic personality. But honest to god can you guys actually take another dark, cliche villain with a brooding back story and a one dimensional “blow up tyria” plan?

Frankly the whimsical sadism is quite alot of fun to watch, it entertains me and the VA is epic.

Completed it 3 times so far leading pug groups, it’s not hard, tedious and low rewards maybe, but not hard.

Sounds like they’re simply morphing the path, updating it and making it better. I never even played the path, yet I have little care it’s being removed…

It sounds like someone or a group of people are VERY clingy.

I didn’t read anything about removing the path, only that a level 80 one was being added?

So, basically because you can’t do something it is garbage?

– little-no downward scaling

~~~This is intended. It is supposed to be an event for a large group. It is after all less than 1% of the game that requires that amount of players, so I don’t really see the issue. It is also something that people have wanted since release.

And what happens after the event, it’s “the hot thing” right now, but what about when nightmare rolls around and everyone’s got their sunbringer chieves? Ill be farming loot from the other, less unbalanced bosses or doing the new living story content.

– no accurate timers for the event

~~Which is a good thing. You are not supposed to set an alarm clock to just log in and do something. That would be silly, it also makes the world very static and boring.

It’s not if you’re NOT looking to get stuck in an overflow or not wanting to sit on your kitten for 45 minutes hoping he spawns in that window before work…

– no in-game mechanisms to allow coordination of 100 people

~~Of course it does. It works well enough in chat if you are fast enough at writing and have discussed the fight before the Dragon arrives.

Because while i’m on defense team. Or zerg team jumping puddles and making sure i’m stacked i’m definitely busy eye-humping chat for that little tidbit.

– a low population cap such that people are likely to be placed into overflow

~~True, but it is quite clearly also possible to complete it in overflow, as this has been done several times. A higher population cap would probably hurt the fight more than help, since it would increase lag and such.

Possible but insanely time consuming. Why when all my servers teamspeak crew is on the home server and I got chucked in with a bunch of people who don’t know up from down? Since you know, my coordinated server is locked out.

– a mechanism such that the overall success of said group hinges primarily on 6 players

~~Quite incorrect. Sure they remove the buff and such (removing poison and buffs people) but the vast majority of damage is done by the zerg. Both are needed and technically it would probably be possible to complete it without using the turrets, if your group did enough damage and were fast enough.

Not with finger’s poison spam. Protip, they can throw more poison then dissipates on timer. Where is my raid going to stand when the entire half of teq’s poisoned up. I suppose we can throw our melee under the bus and tell everyone "Range him cause we have no turrets to drop stacks, buff the raid, clear the football-field hike of a fear or remove poison.

– rewards which are disproportionately low for the effort required to succeed

~~Depends on how you see it.
I would say downing something as strong as this is reward enough. You also have a change for several quite rare and cool items.

Oh most definitely… THE FIRST TIME. But why should I do it a second time? Should I pop into that raid for those greens and blues that I can get off orr mobs in half the time with half the frustration?

Yeah, lack of GOOD rewards is going to make this a VERY VERY dead event. Why waste time with it after you’ve snagged the achievement when doing SB Shatter Claw are much easier and less stressful.

Blood is Power+Well of Power.

Invictus.1503:

Never understood why Golem was the only minion not able to be underwater. Complete laziness if you ask me.

Same… If the Bone Fiend can swim underwater the golem should have no problem. And it’s not like charge mechanics don’t exist under water. Frankly it completely breaks minion master water combat. Since using Plague triggers the bug that despawns all our minions.

Putrid mark has been bugged for a while btw I suggest a different form of condition removal.

Alrighty then, can I snag a mod to shove this little topic over to the suggestions forums? I’d really like the devs to see this, a retro-active achievement rewards system would really make people WANT to go after these skins and use them.

So I just got Teq’s wings and I really like the deign…. But it brought up a curious question.

Why in the Kitten does it not go into the unlocked achievement rewards tab like the god-ugly Zenith skins… It’s an achievement unlock after all I did finish the boss week meta grouping? Honestly it looks great on my necro, but what if I ever want it on another character?

This extends to dragonbash wings, Mad King’s memoirs and all the other lovely ACHIEVEMENT skins we’ve unlocked through the achievements tab.

Can’t wait till the next living story content TQ with be a desolate wasteland of an event =D

Jeez people it’s only been a day, be patient, give it a few weeks, people have to learn the fight, it’ll get faster in time, why do you want everything given to you for simply logging in.

XD

Making the player head of the pact would make too much sense.

SPOILERS!!!
SPOILERS!!!

Trey’s wyld hunt is over he cleansed orr, yet he’s still leader of the pact? What the hell do we do when Kralk decides to roll his sky-blotting kitten out and fight us.

Also, his voice acting sucked. His dialog was pitiful and regardless of whether you like him or not it’s OUR personal story not leaf boy’s It was mis leading and pumped everyone up… Not to mention he comes strolling in RIGHT after our mentor’s die…. Way to take the character we grew attached too, yank him away and replace him with a literal stick in the mud.

THAT’s the issue with Treahearn.

Listen to Bhawb… The guy knows what he’s talking about with minions.

Necromancers in GW2 lore are fleshshapers saddly no TRUE reanimation. We just TECHNICALLY make abominations.
