Guild Wars 2

Thank you both for your offers but I’m not looking for casual guilds, I’m looking for dungeon/fotm specific guilds.

Around a week ago I started to randomly DC in LA and FotM, nowhere else. Everything else on my computer stays connected including skype and raidcall so it’s Guild Wars who appareantly has issues. Sometimes I disconnect after two minutes, other times after three hours.

No idea if you worked on the network/servers a bit ago but it seems something has changed, played 5 months without ever disconnecting before.

Hello,

As I’m tired of dealing with bad PUGs who cannot carry their own weight I decided to try find a group who does FotM on a daily base. I’m currently at level 21 and when I get my last infusions after today’s dailies I will be at 20 or 25 AR depending on whether I get a few more globs to infuse my last ring or not.

I’m a capable thief who has every weapon set available and has over 1.000 hours of experience in playing one. I’m familiar with every tactic in every dungeon/FotM and I have access to voicechats for easy communication.

I would like to join a group which aims to reach level 60+ eventually to farm skins and other future drops that are exclusive to FotM.

If you have any questions or would like to know more, feel free to contact me.

Thanks for reading.

On top of the issues reported in this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/World-completion-not-being-counted-properly/first#post1226734 I now face even more bugs on my account.

For the past week my ori nodes aren’t recharging anywhere except every two days at Southsun Cove. Tried on three different characters with all the same result, nothing to gather except the ones located in Southsun Cove.

On top of that I’ve been running dungeons alot the past few days and I have only dropped trash and blue/greens from every chest and bosses which is very odd considering we spammed them alot and I normally get atleast one core per 2-3 dungeon runs.

After months of farming I don’t believe this is just a streak of bad luck, it seems like I’ve been hit with some sort of permanent DR or something.

Can someone please look into my account? It’s severely crippling my gold income and overall fun ingame.

I included a screenshot of my counter, as you can see there is alot missing even though I only have two smaller zones left. The 90% cannot be right with the current % counter too.

As I’m nearing world completion (90%) I noticed that according to the tracker

- Hearts count is stuck at 258/301
- I miss 30 WP’s (on top of the ones I still have to do)
- I miss 50 POI’s (on top of the ones I still have to do)
- I miss over 10 Vista’s (on top of the ones I still have to do)

while I only have two zones left to complete. The completion % counts correctly but the rest doesn’t it seems.

I’ve done world completion 5 times before so please do not tell me the fault lies with me.

Can this be inspected? The character involved is “Lutile”

Thanks for reading.

Xuro.5861, I’m on par with you. Especially FotM.

Went in there, we got the giant fractal. This guy went down 3 times while we were fighting the first hammer guy, before even starting.

I said “I better not see a stack of luck when he dies”. Lo and behold, a stack of luck.

I left that group ASAP.

I’ve started a “contact list” guild of elitists. Raging and flaming at noobs is encouraged. Kicking for noobness is also encouraged. Want in?

Personally, I run dungeons all evening, every day. I can steamroll through most of them.

Haha sure, contact me ingame sometime

CMF.5461:

Understandable but sad. I never lose my patience with players and I try to be helpful all the time.

Maybe because I like helping people and when I explain how things work and assist people it makes me feel good to help someone else. Versus when you had to explain things you did it to get the group to work so you could complete your task to help yourself.

We both had a self interest in explaining things, just mine was more fluffy

I did it for the same reasons as you but after 4 months I figured it’s not worth the stress/hassle anymore. The last thank you I got was over a month ago while I still helped quite some people in dungeons/fractals. They just leave without a word afterwards.

UnderdogSMO.9428:

Get a Guild of like minded people

Tried, sadly I have had no luck yet so have to do with PUGs in the meantime ^_-

Yes, I kick anyone who doesn’t perform and carry their own weight.

After 4 months I’m fed up of having to explain every tactic every day because people lack experience. Although I can understand that not everyone is as experienced as me, I still have no more patience to teach new people for the simple fact that most people lack the motivation to even learn proper teamplay, resulting in more stress than should be needed to finish the dungeon/fractal.

Instead I only play with experienced players and when I notice that the party is underperforming and not prepared to adept, I simply leave without a notice.

Does this make me a bad person? That’s for you to decide but I have decided to no longer bring up mass amounts of patience for new players because 3 out of 4 people refuse to listen and adept.

Does this suck for new players? Yes it does but my patience has a limit and I reached it.

After hundreds of hours of explaining tactics I decided being an elitist makes my own life alot easier and less stressfull ingame.

I wear knight armor set + knight jewelry (ogre rune set for power/damage increase) combined with some vit on my sword/dagger and power/vit/toughness backpiece. I have around 16.5k hp with 2.9k armor and 3.1k attack buffed.

I can kill anyone in PvP 1vs1 unless they are extremely skilled in their class (a pro elementalist wiped the floor with me yesterday, was quite an experience to say the least, first time ever I lost so fast to an elementalist.)

In dungeons I usually end up with aggro because of the tankish build, but with my experience after 4 months of playing, I manage to almost never die at all. Whenever I get downed it’s either from a mistake on my side due to lack of attention to the fight or to often hit by agony and lack of heals.

Some, if not many people will disagree with my current item build but like I said, I’m doing extremely well in both PvE and PvP so it works in my experience.

Luvpie.8350:

Are you willing to move to a NA server?

Do you know any EU player who did that? I need to know how the ping will be to the NA servers.

Hello,

After trying several guilds on my current server I decided I didn’t like any of them, mostly due to the lack of unique and interesting personalities within the guild. So after considering it for a bit I decided to try find a new guild either on my current or another server.

I’m mostly looking for a guild which does PvE and WvW together on a regular base with above normal activity on either chat or any type of voice chat.

I should note that “normal” people often consider me “slightly disturbed and odd” so I don’t fit in with many guilds at all. Usually they find my kind of humor to perverted or weird and feel uncomfortable so they end up disliking me. I play on a daily base and always up to try out new things to spice things up ^_-

If you think your guild is what I’m looking for and think I will fit in, either please leave a message here or contact me ingame.

Thanks for reading my post.

So only the dedicated players are left. I run a s/d + sb build myself in sPvP / WvW / PvE and although I am facerolling the BS builds in most cases, I’m so sick and tired of that single spam ability crap.

My last 4 matches today was 8vs8 with on both sides atleast 4 BS thiefs, nuking anyone down who even spawned outside of stealth. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it as two or more BS thiefs is instant death, no matter how skilled you are.

So yes, I hope they nerf the hell out of our class so all those kittens roll the next flavor of the month class. After those people rerolled, the devs should buff thief up again in small increments to avoid another wave of this crap.

When the FS server was in tier 1 I used to play against VS and hated it. After not playing WvW ever since we are matching them as SFR (transfered here when it was still tier 5) I decided to give it a try and I was within an hour remembered why I left any WvW match against VS in the first place.

The only time they will fight me outside the zerg is:

a) They outnumber me three to one.
b) They run a bunker build.
c) They have NPC’s to back them up.

In every tier I had epic 1vs1 fights several times a day but I have never seen one with a VS player. Whenever I’m winning one of two things happens;

1) They alt + f4 (even after the recent changes).
2) They run and come back with more.

I have never encountered such a cowardness except from them and it’s the reason I dropped from WvW in tier 1 on FS and I will do so again when SFR ends up another two weeks in tier 1.

Any other tier provides epic battles in WvW at times, but tier 1 against VS is just a sad state of “PvP.”

You can call me a hater or whatever you want, but that’s how I see it and seeing our WvW population changes, I am not alone on this matter. I hope we drop back to tier 2 soon.

Ever since the launch of Guild Wars 2 the one-handed sword roots the ranger in place, making the combat feel extremely clucky and unnatural.

As I am one of the people who (love the one-handed sword) hope that this will be changed so the animations/combat feel more fluid and natural, how do you feel on this subject and can we expect a change?

Please understand I’m talking about the animation itself only, I personally believe the rest of the sword skills are fine and work as intended.

Is there any guild willing to help this little ranger out with the dungeon? On my server nobody seems to run it and it’s the last dungeon I need for the dungeon master title. I heard all paths take quite some time so that’s what it makes so hard to find a party I guess.

I watched video’s of all paths so I’m somewhat prepared although I might need some advice here and there.

Any help is appreciated so if are feeling generous, please add me ingame.

Thanks for reading.

This is why infinite achievement point systems are pointless goals.

In every game I try to max out my achievement points except this one, considering any person with alot of gold can beat me without a hassle, there is no reason at all to try obtain an high amount of achievement points.

I hope they actually implent a system similar to this.

Hahaha, awesome.

I spend 70 euro’s on obtaining one and was disappointed by it’s size too, I honestly hope they double or triple it.

After spending €70 on gems I was finally able to craft one and I love him but he feels so small for it’s rarity and value. You can barely see the guy when you are running around with more than one person.

I personally feel the size should have been doubled or tripled considering how expensive it is to obtain one.

Anyone feels the same?

Honestly, who came up with such a ridiculous minigame? The achievement requires me to score 5 times yet the box doesn’t even leave the spawn area because of the unbalanced 13k’s flying around my butt.

So how am I supposed to finish it while I get two shot whenever I have the box?

As I missed all days I’m forced to use randoms in LA but they all end up leaving as they notice I’m not doing a mode they are looking for.

So my question is if anyone is still doing them and wants to do them together? If so, leave your name here and we can create a party ^^

As I retired a while ago I decided to check out this event and I heard you can replay the event parts from the other days if you missed them so my question is, where and how can I do that?

Morrigan.2809:

there was a thread like this yesterday- it was locked.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Lost-Shores-A-Cry-for-Help/first
Obviously they don’t want us discussing it

Oh haha, I see someone already beat me to it.

I honestly hope they allow this to stay open then as this is not meant anything more than theorycrafting and an attempt to let people give ArenaNet the benefit of the doubt.

Kerithlan.1659:

It could just be that someone has a good sense of humor in the development studio. It could be satirical. Or it could be coincidental. Or it could be the result of many hours of work trying to design a theme for the Consortium.

Under New Management could be nothing more than a playful jab/corporate pun, as the Consortium are the twisted men in suits taking over the karka’s home. Everything else can be just as easily shrugged off as fitting the theme of a borderline-criminal corporation.

Haha yes, I kept this in the back of my head while writing my opening post. Although it is possible, it’s still interesting to explore other theories.

critickitten.1498:

This is starting to bug me so I think I’ll just ask:

Does everyone honestly believe that buying a 15% stake in a company allows you to dictate EVERY facet of that company’s decisions? Hate to break it to you but 15% is not actually a majority, so it’s not like Nexon has complete and total control over ANet’s decision-making process. They will have influence, absolutely, but the other 85% will probably have just a little more say, doncha think? Unless there’s another couple of companies all helping Nexon reach that majority mark and they ALL want to destroy this product for seemingly no good reason, you guys really need to drop the conspiracy theories and just wait and see what happens.

I absolutely hate Ascended gear, for example. But I’m willing to wait and see if they continue to add tiers after it (in which case I’ll agree that they’re creating vertical progression and will probably stop playing), or if this is truly the final tier (in which case I’ll be unhappy, but I’ll live).

Updated opening post in regards to this and the other posts.

on the Ascended Gear?

As I was visiting the new area and going through my new achievements it pretty much hit me in the face.

I believe the designers of the new area’s left us small clues on what they think about this entire new patch.

• Jumping Puzzle “Under New Management.”
  Don’t think this one needs any more explanation?

• Event NPC named “Subdirector Blingg.”
  Most likely pointing towards a newly appointed higher up person within ArenaNet itself by either NCSoft or Nexon.

• A new trading company called “Consortiums.”
  Most likely hinting towards rivalry within the company between ArenaNet employees and whatever new employees got placed there by NCSoft or Nexon.

All of this is pure speculation but after my initial complaints about the new direction this game is heading, I won’t believe that the lead developer and his team would backstab their loyal fanbase this easily.

Since we have no idea what contract ArenaNet is under, there is a chance that NCSoft and Nexon are able and currently are playing a major role within all decisions that have been recently made.

I honestly believe it’s Nexon’s fault as I played their other MMO’s and the current gem shop during events just reeks of their influence so I personally place blame at Nexon and not at ArenaNet for messing with our game.

I should clarify a few things since people believe Nexon has nearly zero influence with only 15% of it’s stocks.

Nexon is known for it’s ability and experience to milk any MMO’s that’s either developed or bought by them. Since NCSoft stocks dropped to their lowest point in years, there is a chance that the investors got influenced easier by Nexon shareholders or just decided to go with their model (since it is succesfull for Nexon) in the hopes of bringing in more money so their stockprices go back up (source: http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/chart?symbol=036570.KS). All recent changes and the new gamble boxes within the gem shop strongly suggest they decided to go with the Nexon model.

Whether this is healthy or not for the game will be seen soon enough.

Again, this is all pure speculation and I hope a proper discussion will arrise in this thread.

Moderators, please do not merge this topic as I would like to read how other people think about this theory. It’s all pure speculation and in no way meant to be harmfull to ArenaNet.

Thanks for reading.

Is anything like this planned? By mini WvW I mean a medium sized map where players need to capture points, build bases and protect them, but instead of 8vs8 in a tiny map, it should be like 30vs30 with a medium to a large sized map and a point limit of a few thousand (so the match lasts for 20-30 minutes).

The current maps are way to small/crowded for my playstyle so really hoping something like stated above is in the works.

Aeive.7152:

i have personally dc’ed 4 times at about the end of scale 1, so i know how frustrating this is.
but letting u back in there with the rest of ur pt is not an option. all you would have to do would be to relog and re-enter everytime you die in there. making the fractals impossible to fail, kinda defeats the purpose of not having waypoints in there.

10 or 15 minute cooldown on every re-enter.

Problem solved?

A loyal fanbase created by trust from the developers who understand what their aimed audience would like to see in the gem shop.

+1

I really want to do this part too but I can no longer start it (I thought I couldn’t do it anymore as the first part of phase 1 was bugged too)

So please give us that option to finish this part of phase 1 too.

Can we still finish phase 1 entirely with the deletion of said npc?

After yesterday I figured they would finally have solved this crap, but instead I have even more lag today and it sure as hell isn’t my connection.

Logged out and not bothering anymore.

Same.

15 chars limit.

Regizer.1763:

A new way to make you learn to play better

Yes because one mistake or accidentle fall means I suck as a player.

Wut? A new way to sell revive orbs?

ReginaBuenaobra.6953:

We just restarted Lion’s Arch to fix the dungeon portal. You will be (or have already been) disconnected while we do this. Thanks for your understanding.

What about overflows? Didn’t see a restart there.

Bradza.6210:

does this dungen stay up after the evet coz im not level 80 yeet

The dungeon is a permanent addition to the game.

We just need to know when we can enter it.

Still can’t enter.

Now I keep disconnecting and can’t even do the event anymore.

Seems they didn’t learn from the halloween lagfest.

Lag after cinematic is unbearable, 20 second delay on everything.

Server is about to crash like this.

Up.

15 chars limit.

Could any ArenaNet employee please inform us whether the deletion and nerf of all achievement points around the hidden achievement The Tinkerer are intended or a bug that will be fixed? People reporting small losses of achievement points everywhere due this hidden change (I lost 350 ish points myself)

after new build.

I’m still missing around 350 points so something is still not counting correctly.

I think it’s the tinkerer achievements for the use of transmution stones.

I got rather bored of playing with D/D and I am looking for a change and I was always a sucker for dual pistols in any game whenever possible. I always play alongside a guardian so how would P/P perform with a power/prec/toughness set?

As a ranger I can say I was never this frustated over a patch in any MMO before.

After a few small rants I decided to wait it out with the new gear progression but the hate towards the ranger class by the developers is something I cannot accept. I have spend 200g+ on my ranger which could have made one heck of a warrior instead.

I don’t even care about the new content anymore, waited two months for them to get the ranger straight and not even a single change that matters, only fixes/buffs that are utterly useless.

1.7k achievement points gone ….

Vox Hollow.2736:

Hey, hey, hey. Maybe I’ve gone crazy, here.
But I think I just saw my pet take a shortcut instead of following a target’s path step for step. Somebody whose run one of those Target Dummy tests and has been paying far closer attention to these things wanna’ feel like giving it another go and see if they notice anything different about the way the pet chases a target?

Even if this is the case, they still can’t hit moving targets so what’s the use?

Oh ofcourse, warrior received another buff!

After the patch downloaded, I’m salvaging everything on ranger to use on thief and never looking back at her, this is the last straw for me. For months we get BS fed to us only to get some useless crap like this.

Xuro.5861:

Didn’t need a gear treadmill to play this amount, won’t hit 1100 if the treadmill is added.
I play for fun, not to grind same crap over to make a fair chance in PvE/PvP.

Honestly, you should probably take a break. Playing the equivalent of 24 hours a day for 43 days out of ~60 is a little excessive.

I work from home so that’s the only reason Guild Wars 2 is always active in the background. I spend most time doing rather small stuff while getting work done.
