Guild Wars 2

swiftpaw.6397:

There needs to be a real motivation to do dungeons. Exo gear is easy to get, what’s left is grinding out money for legendaries. How about some new exclusive skins available only through hard mode?

NOT FAIR!! I’m a casual player and I should be able to have HM exclusive skin!! WAAAAHHHH

(and then next patch anet adds HM exclusive drops to laurel vendors)

Most are genuine mistakes. But when someone does that on purpose it is obvious when you are on the spot.

On a scale of 1 to immediate suicide, how much would you hate yourself if you threw 3 shields plus a mystic forge stone in and got Venom or Rage back?

homicide

probably more entertaining to predict what bugs will be produced in the next patch

A trail of floating musical notes would be nice

There are cases where high toughness MAY make you attract a bit more aggro but there are also many counter examples.

When farming CoE with my guild the golem boss targets the berserker ele Every. Single. Time.
Jellyfish boss and Ettins in fractals however, do have a tendency to stick to high toughness members.
Lupicus is interesting, I don’t remember which phases but at some of them he likes the tough ones, other he likes the squishies.

In the end having high toughness to draw aggro in every encounter in the game is like flipping a coin and want it to land in heads everytime.

How did this thread turn into discussion about aggro control anyway? going into the toughness line doesn’t necessarily make people have highest toughness in the group. The majority of the stat points come from gear.
Same with going into a tree for the stat points, traits are there to be used, stat points are just a nice side bonus, not the other way round.

the kraits are probably the first race everyone would sell to the elder dragons. Even the centaurs can be reasoned with. Kraits? Every one you kill is a favour to the continent.

Or think about it this way, if you let them have the orb any longer they will enslave more good people.

DC doesn’t make this happen, I opened a fractal once and took me 5 min to reconnect and the instance was still alive (thank god). Afaik, only way to boot everyone out is to leave party or relog in a different character.

This happened to me only once and the moron was a split second too late so everyone still got their rewards

This is actually the first mmo I know with this sort of problem. It is a huge oversight and no sign of a fix with the game nearing it’s first birthday.

As for the people who use the flaw to troll, kill them with fire.

Forgot to mention roaming rangers in WvW is more annoying to me than perma stealth thieves -_-

calm down my son

ranger aren’t that bad as long as you are willing to explore every one of your weapon choices. In dungeons, don’t expect your pets to be helpful.

Not to mention when this event is happening the Arah dungeon becomes contested (because gw2 logic). So if everyone (in all servers) farm the mobs like this no one can do the dungeon. Thankfully this stupidity hasn’t been that widespread yet

bewhatever.2390:

…so someone has to actually work for the Celestial gear, do things themselves over a period of time using their own 400 level crafters, not just buy a full set off the TP five minutes after they ding 80. After all, they can buy the quartz off the TP…

I think this is testing concepts toward the pink-con level 500 craftables. Which had better take a lot of work over a long time, if they are not to cheapen epic gear.

I think the problem here is people don’t feel the sense of accomplishment waiting for the daily reset to kick in and click on the commune button. In other wise, they got the over a long time part, but not the a lot of work bit

this is one of the fractals where I have very little issue with. Even the HP of the ice elemental vets are within reasonable limits @ 48

On the topic of hard mode dungeons, I’m going to predict if we get those we will also start seeing threads like “We get punished and get lower rewards for being casual, unfair etc etc”

RyuDragnier.9476:

You want a hard mode dungeon? Go to Arah and try fighting the mobs. There’s hard mode. Or just go through Twilight Arbor, which got buffed to where a party of 2 warriors, a necro, an engineer, and a guardian get wiped often.

The only thing remotely hard about Arah mobs are the illusionists when they cast chaos storms on top of themselves so you can’t melee them full time. And how do people get wiped in TA these days? F/U discussion again?

that too, depends on personal reward level and frac lvl, whichever is lower

Only thing we know is that we need to wait and see. Considering that blog post is about what’s gonna happen within the year it probably be a loooooong time before any of that happens. There is also a chance that they can’t come up with something acceptable in their standard and scratch that change altogether.

And yes, the exp and coins in the daily chest scales with the character you opened with

The reason I didn’t decide to quote that post is because it looks like the OP has done some sort of research himself (watched the videos) and wants some clarifications instead of a generic OMG NERF thread

Wukunlin.8461:

maybe MF -> boon duration and GF -> condition duration? It makes absolutely no sense (not to mention these should go into defensive/offensive instead of utility) but then this is gw2 we are talking about….

I’m anticipating A-Net making sure that those MF sets are still the next best thing to useless. Replacement stat is probably going to be healing power or something lol.

healing power?

He also mentioned he did “pretty well” in that build in high lvl fractals. Thank the gods I didn’t do much fotm back then. But yeah, he probably realized he was doing something wrong…
And since Nik found the reincarnation of him on reddit we need to prepare ourselves for another generation of those.

maybe MF → boon duration and GF → condition duration? It makes absolutely no sense (not to mention these should go into defensive/offensive instead of utility) but then this is gw2 we are talking about….

Range doing less damage might be a valid argument if, for example, melee died frequently and were forced to use soldier gear while ranged could sport berserker.

Just you wait, someone will try using that as a valid argument.

Longbow + Rifle warrior with 0 melee. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I guess that’s what longbow F1 is for….
Also, wth is signet of battle?

There is a chest for taking down those 3 anti-air turrets iirc

there is this site: gw2lfg.com that allows you to arrange groups with random people.

you might want to look at videos of how people have run them to get an idea of the encounters. Also if you recently reached lvl 30 or 35 a lot of people will refuse to take you for a variety (some of them plain idiotic) reasons/

lilstev.3498:

Dude what kills me is that you can target with right- mouse click, drives me up the wall! I lose my target all the time because of this, or I end up always target an ally when I try to cast a dmg spell.

I control my camera with right mouse, so when I use a ground targeted spell I have to let off right mouse to target the area with my mouse, but then when I press right mouse to control my camera again then it selects a different target then I prev had which drives me kittens!!!!

This is so elementary and really needs to be fixed!

so that’s why every time in wvw I end up targeting a wall when fighting -_-

sounds bugged to me lol

only time I got hit for more than 10k by meteor shower is when I was in glass cannon engi build (don’t ask what I was doing with it in WvW, it was… not planned). In full rabid they tickle a bit….

Time to look for my warrior rifle build guides then

I’ve been pugging lvl 10’s lately. So much faster. Also easier to carry if pugs are bad. The end chest is just as good most of the time. What do I get in 30s and 40s? more relics + chance to get another speargun skin

Sometimes my boyfriend says I yell out in my sleep about idiots screwing up bomb runs and lazer doors. -.-

that bad huh, in my cases most of the fun comes after bombs and laser door. Mid boss :1 slam = 4 downed, every. single. time. Good thing they manage to find a safe spot after each patch.

I don’t think dungeon guilds have much to do with servers because parties can be cross server. Just make a LF guild post in the guild sub forum, you will get a bunch of guild invites in no time. We can’t tell you which guild is the best for you because we haven’t been to every guild in the game. It won’t hurt to hop from guild to guild for some time until you find the bunch you are comfortable with.

gunnerCRO.5017:

I did it just yesterday in pug so it can be done. However, the truth is that the path requires rather specific group. For example, we had 2 guardians, warrior and 2 mesmers (one of them being me). We agreed on projectile reflection cycle before engaging the last boss. Also, we had two time warps so we had to establish who goes first. Furthermore, i told everyone to stack up might at the beginning of the fight so i can double my boons and give it to party. All in all we melted him pretty fast, under a minute for sure (we were in melee of course). Even with all that coordination I ended up dead at the very end – which didn’t really matter as i got 60 tokens

And that my friend, is what all boss fights in the game should be like. Plan ahead, communicate, get results. Also, you should be able to avoid death in the end if you spam dodges and distortion and leave the instance as soon as you get your reward pop up.

legendaries are simply really expensive skins, so legendary trinkets…. uhhh…..

This content punishes players for not having blondes, anet should fix it

yes, the last boss require coordination and specific skillsets

When I read the title I thought this is some crazy guy that wanted those putrifiers with 1200 range pulls returned. I’m glad I thought wrong, but anyone remember those? good god…

they drop from jade colossi at all levels

I want my brain cells refunded. I lost them all when grinding CoF

I still don’t understand why this is a big deal. Disengaging in open world PVE is not difficult.

Can you maybe give a specific example of this? In my almost 2.5k hours of playing time I have never seen problems like this. Only time I know people who died from those “trains” is when they are AFK. And personally I would never blame anyone if I died akitteng in a non safe zone

oh truuuue, that’s what happens when I don’t read video descriptions -_-

lol I guess the listing some guy quitting the game and giving away free stuff one got old

wha… you didn’t even needed your scholar rune procs LOL

rest in peace my loyal gold farming slaves

LordByron.8369:

being able to play with PuG requires skills.

Or people can just go with their usual party and clear content with the usual routine of skills that turns anything as easy as cof1

And i can accept it unless i see some of the same complaining about content being too easy when they trivialize it any way possible……

lol
