Guild Wars 2

The only reason the prices are going up is because people THINK and speculate. I seriously doubt the removal of botting would decrease the supply of so many goods so much. People thought "Hey, if they remove bots then less supply, more demand higher prices! I should buy a ton of materials that will be affected by the shift and resell them later! Ha im so smart! " Little did they know the shift of the market happened because of them. Prices will soon go back to normal. Its another bubble which is already about to burst.

It took me two days to do the hydra event. I am positive that the event is not bugged.
Here’s how I’ve done it. I killed the risen captain, the two npcs went to their location and stayed there for some time and the same event repeated. I killed the risen captain again but this time a new npc came which started the meta event.

I beleive the risen captain is not directly related to the meta event but It will indeed block the initiation of the meta event. Your best bet is to keep killing the risen captain until the hydra event chain begins.

I beleive the one time event will be very similar to the one time event we had during halloween. Just a cutscene introducing us to the new content.

My groups have generaly been level 80s with level 80 gear, My gear is Toughness/Power/Precision, this is Rare quality gear. As an elementalist, I still die to most Dungeon mobs in 3-4 hits with inadiquate methods of avoiding getting hit. (No Agro control at all, in fact I think being an Ele puts me at the top of the agro list.)

Groups have been well mixed class wise.

Drake, taking toughness on an ele is a bad idea since toughness draws aggro. Its best to take vitality. Also note that healing power also draws aggro. I may be mistaken but thats my conclusion after the research I’ve made both in game and on the web.

Actually tanking in this game is very doable. And by tanking I dont mean standing still while being hit by a hoard of mobs. I have a guardian with pure Power+Precision+Toughness with Protection skills and the “take no damage elite” (forgot the name) I rush in with my greatsword, pile up the mobs, pop my protection skill, my elite, heal, dodge, kite. Be sure to also use your F1/2/3 skills before you use your elite to refresh them. Also make sure you have a decent ele in your group that is decent enough to set aside dps for 3 sec and throw a support skill at you.

Tanking in this game is fun.

Dragon festival FTW

:O I completely forgot about the dragon festival!

But isnt that a Cantha only event?

It was not meant to be a solution. It was more of a compensation. And they really didnt have to do it either. If you spent a lot of money on keys then it’s your problem really.

Dont flood the forums just because you were greedy enough to beleive you would get rich from the chests. Thank you.

Meh, I wanted to make some money out of the event but now it seems impossible Americans will get all the juice

Great Europeans are left to dark once again. Good Job

@Body.7834 How can you be defeated by an enemy that doesn’s inflict any kind of damage? The spectral weapons just lie there doing nothing. I was defeated by a veteran undead right next to the bugged spectral weapon in the maze of Cursed Shore but it didn’t reset the SP. Please enough with the misleading solutions
