Unlock an (account bound?) precursor of your choice reaching the 10k achievement points treshold. The more I say it, the more sweets it sounds!

PvP has changed a lot, but its rewards are still kinda flawed (may change 9th July) and it’s still capture the nodes + secondary objective based on maps.
2 new maps have been released, and a third one is coming out on the 9th of July. Spectator mode and custom arenas (private servers with different variables you can change) have been released, and leaderboards are now available. Matchmaking is out too, but it needs to be refined. Balance has overall improved.
@ Dhar : You always had the option to buy precursor from the TP and almost no RNG is involved elsewhere in making a legendary. Quitting over gear grind is laughable at best in an MMO where you can have BIS gear 10 days after reaching level 80. I don’t know what you mean by “accomplished” groups but certain speed-runners may require you to wear ascended items, but 90% of the playerbase won’t care.
P.S. Esplen I’m pondering quoting this “Oh my, someone who isn’t playing is telling someone else who isn’t playing what is happening ingame! So reliable!” in my signature… epic win!

And what fun is there in entering a JP, taking a portal and porting out with the achievement 5 seconds later?

Visited 12 in Caledon Forest, 0 of them had Aetherblades. Most definitely bugged, seeing that there are other threads reporting similar experiences. Let’s bring this to Arenanet attention, I believe we only have 5 days left to get those achievements and I don’t want to camp caches for half an hour and compete with other 5 players to land a kitten hit in.

Hello, I noticed that after the recent hotfix ( the one that fixed non-working projectors ) the rate at which the Atherblade pirates appear near projectors has severely decreased. Out of the 30 projectors I activated today, 27 of them spawned holographic minions. Is that intended, or am I having a particularly unfortunate evening?
I surely hope it’s not intended because this way getting the aetherblade slayer achievements is going to be an unnecessary pain.

What? Legendaries are everywhere? I play since launch ankitten ot even close to obtaining one. Granted, I don’t actively chase them and do relatively little PvE but still, Legendaries are far from common.
The only sarcastic part was the one about RNG. I like running fractals even though I have done them a lot of times, and I pointed it out because you wanted this type of content which actually is already in the game.
I’m glad that you received the exact weapon I’ve been looking for at a faceroll level (20) but I would like the kitten things to actually be granted when you prove a certain degree of skill, not when you luck out. Say, you reach lv 50 personal reward with one character bam, here’s a fractal weapon of your choice. You completed the super-imba-hard mode of SAB bam, here’s your sweet set of armor. Enough with the jetpacks and monocles.

Well Nuka, I do think you’ll find most people actually like rewards. lol
Rewards are fine n all (mainly what’s missing in all gw2 dungeons) the main problem is those rewards. Do i care about a Masterwork accessory as a reward in X dungeon or a common exotic weapon 1 million other people own worth 50s? That’s the problem with their reward system, everything is on TP and nothing feels ‘rare’. Everyone hates RNG, i have np with RNG all i want is RNG in a dungeon/elite zone or whatever that is fun to repeat hundreds of times and not be bored after 5 runs.
I did 100+ fractals and I they haven’t got boring to me. Also fractal weapons are pretty rare, and of course RNG, because y’know, the only way to make something rare is lock it behind luck (sarcasm).

The point is, they don’t need to stop work on ‘x’ in order to pay attention to ‘y’ necessarily. That’s the whole point of having teams.
Quote a point in my post where i say the opposite.
Then explain why Living Story is getting a 2 week schedule while other parts of the game barely get any update (compared to the Living Story pace of content flow)
That’s the point.
Give the rest of the game, which does need help, the same importance of Living Story if it’s true they have enough ppl to work on multiple things at same time.
Because right now it seems that it isn’t wokring that way.
I disagree. The PvP side has seen custom arenas, spectator mode, matchmaking, leaderboards, 3 new maps, balance changes and shoutcaster program added in 6 months.
The WvW side has seen a new matchup system, removal of culling, WPX system, traps, ascended items, separation of EB puzzle and I’ve heard of an upcoming siege weapon.
We might argue on how good/bad these features are, but saying that they are neglecting anything but the living story is an outright lie.
Now we just need an ignore feature on forums and possibly a stalker-mode so I it sends me an email everytime one of my forum enemies posts.

Ummmm tome of wrath is horrible in wvw…. The daze takes forever and a year to cast, smiters boon does not affect the guardian, quickness and fury are ok, but 3s of quickness is honestly very weak after the nerf, and the #1 skill scales horribly with power. Maybe in a condition heavy build it might be ok, but even running full dps it was very very weak. All you are really left with is a decent weakness/cripple bouncing skill, and buffing your allies, while not contributing much to actual damage yourself.
Smiter’s boon now affects you, the quickness has been increased to 5s and the daze “only” takes 2s to cast (3s AoE daze should require a decent cast time). Also the first skill is ranged and aoe, two things that every guardian in WvW would love to have.

I loved the part in which you totally ignored my post, just like you ignored the most meaningful part of The Ace’s post. Is this supposed to be a discussion or are you just venting off? Becausse ArenaNet isn’t gonna revert the change because you irrationaly vented off on the forums.
You said that you enjoy repeating content, and you can still do that perfectly. Why open such a snarky thread about the rewards? You went as far as describing how rewards from the chest aren’t that great/really needed because you have everything you want from it, so what’s the big deal? Enlighten me.
Oh and please don’t bring up consistency because making making borderlands JP chest daily and account bound would be a very sensible thing to do.

Try to fight any decent ranger, necromancer, mesmer or engineer. See how they laugh at you and demolish you as soon as your retaliation ends. Guardians are one of the best classes overall (SPvP, WvW and PvE) but our significant weaknesses (low HP, low mobility, lack of range) makes us easy preys for any skilled player.
And FYI, most people in WvW are utter garbage. Once I was ganked by two thieves, and it took me symbol of wrath + whirling wrath to down both of them. Good job stealing when I had Aegis, thieves. I bet anyone that can play his class right and has a proper small-scale PvP build could handle such players.
P.s. I’ll get stoned for this, but I’ll give you that Stand Your Grand deserves some nerfing :P

Sorry but I disagree. Renewed Focus is awesome for the classic 0/0/10/30/30 bunker Guardian that’s what 90% of us run in tournaments. Just by simply smahing f1-f2-f3 before and after RF you get 4k + istant direct heals, 6s+ protection AoE, decent burning damage, 6 conditions removed AoE, regeneration, retaliation and 6s stability AoE + 2 AoE stunbreakers. And that’s by facerolling the keyboard, a skilled player could use the virtues during crucial moments.
Of course as many have said the less you have invested in Virtues the weaker it is, but that’s a build diversity issue not a usefulnes one.

Mate SFR guilds do not play on EB. It’s purely a PUG (Pick up group) border. If you want anything else go for borders.
We play only on BL normally, but we fail to find all the self proclaimed baglooter of VS/SFR/… and all the guy/guild claiming this kind of thing ( except rg ofc )… so we try to find them on EB… but we fail again ;(
I used to post screenshots of stupid things happening in game, like 5-6 Viz faceplanting vs me + non upgraded supply camp, but someone took offense for me generalizing their players and started going ad-hominem, so I stopped.
You also see that most of my posts include names or descriptions of players, so when I say that a bunch of players preferred to zerg rush me 5+ times instead of having a decent fight, you know I’m not making things out of thin air but actually telling my experiences in game.
If I actually find time to play (instead of browsing this kitten forum <.<) and happen to see something as ridicolous as that against JS players I’ll send you a PM.

Necromancers have the worst mobility in game, and the only one that had a strong condition damage build before the patch They get to use torment once every…30s if I recall correctly? As for condition dmg thieves and mesmers, I don’t really know but it seems to me they don’t have access to many conditions.

Are the two zones still istanced? The only reasons I can imagine for having them still istanced are either programming issues or possible changes during following living story arcs…and I’m intrigued by the second possibility.

You can do speed runs without having to be a Warrior or a Mesmer. Yes it will take 1 minute more (evaluation out of thin air) and no speed run pug groups won’t take you. So what? Doing the dungeon 25% slower still yelds a lot of money.
By the way I’d be happier if they made the path take longer.

It’s not like mesmers and thieves autoattacks now have torment. Some of their builds, that were without doubt weak, got buffed. I see no problem with that and I don’t understand how people fail to realize this.
P.s. Necro was one of the less popular PvP classes

I would’ve liked it way more if the damage it dealt was distance-based. Want to teleport 1200 range away from me? Sure, but you’ll have to eat 1.5k burst damage, for example. Would make for way more interesting situations where limiting your own mobility may very well be the right choice : as it stands, nobody stands still to mitigate the damage as they would take more from other sources anyways. And while conditionmancer may be a little over the top, anyone who complains about torment on thieves/mesmers makes me laugh: think about it, their condition builds are/were kinda bad, and the burst ones don’t get to use torment.

The tomes are good but situational, Renewed Focus goes from “meh” to “WTF OP” the more you invest into Virtues. They’re really far from useless, and no elite tops the feeling of saving your allies butts with a well timed AoE full-heal with the tome of healing 5th skill.

I think people should be judged by their gear, someone with a fractal GS and full arah set is definitely better than someone with a AC GS and cof full set, doesn’t matter the achievement points
I could easily afford an Arah GS, but use an AC one because I like it more. My armor is transmuted to the first gem shop set that came out. Am I terribad?

That’s a big thread and I don’t have the time to read it all right now, so for now I’ll just address this very specific and interesting matter

I still see rangers use it, but I think it’s kinda weak right now. ArenaNet knows about it, and is slowly fixing the problem ( Guardian’s AoE quickness was raised from 2 seconds to 5 seconds last patch ).

My congratulations to [LR] from Jade Sea for being actually decent players, but could you please stop actively chasing me after killing me 10 times 5 vs 1? You have taken the camp, killed the dolyaks and secured the sentry. We are in a remote part of the map, with me standing there spamming /bow and /salute, how about you stop zerg rushing me. I know outnumbering the enemy is fun for french servers, but for once have some balls and accept a duel.
On another note, SFR bl has 0 roaming presence and I’m honestly getting sick of this. I can understand why that guy from Kodash whose name I can’t remember says we’re all talk and no action.

If they wanted to have a f2p game, then the client should be free. GW operates on game and expansion sales, and should not depend on a cash shop. Unfortunately too many people are easy prey.
GW operates on what Arenanet decides for it to operate, not on what you think they should operate. It was very well known before release that GW2 would have a cash shop, just be thankful that you get patches every 2 weeks without having to pay a dime. And there’s no being prey unless you waste your cash in RNG bullcrap, which is only a part of what the cash shop is.
I’ll avoid further posting as other people have already more than covered the same points and I think no positive discussion can stem from this.

Leveling is still pretty enjoyable, but at least on my server there aren’t many players around in mid-level zones. Starting zones, Queensdale especially, are well populated. You can solo about 80% of the content without too much hassle, but most group events will require other people to help you.
Dungeons are largely the same, although Ascalonian Catacombs explorable mode got a revamp.
PvP has seen the introduction of several features (spectator mode, ladders and matchmaking to name a few) and is worth checking, in my opinion.
I don’t know what are you referring to but Legendaries and other prestige skins (Fractal Weapons, most Mystic Forge weapons) still require a lot of grind to get, while exotics and ascendeds (best in slot equipment) are pretty doable.
