So you don’t like a map, you got the exploration aspect done, what is the issue. You are done everything you want to do on that map, yay you. I enjoy it occasionally, others do as well. You don’t so change the map? No.

You DO NOT want gliding in main tyria [Merged]

Will be cool, will also be a lot of problems for the map boundaries. No change in the screaming on forums since that is always on forums so not a huge deal.

Why would they double the way to get gliding? You get it easily enough when you start the HoT maps.

It is the easiest map to get completion on of any of the new maps. Yes you need to do the entire meta to get the last POI and HP but really as you are doing the meta you are getting most of the poi’s and vistas. After the meta is done then use the open waypoints and get the rest.
Only quibble I have with the map are the insane mushrooms at the central HP. I mean really that many in such a tiny area? Can still get the HP using the bouncing mushroom but come on getting the goodies in the area is tough.

Every game is always working on the next thing be it expansion or whatever they want to call it. Can’t really see anything except hopefully there won’t be well over a year long drought of content just before the next one is released.

While it’s true that this can be annoying, the cinematics aren’t that long. I’m more frustrated that you have to run the same story multiple times to get the achievements. After my first character runs through the entire story, why aren’t subsequent characters eligible for all the achievements?

Mine are, I thought it was great when compared to LS2 system.

Only some are, but most of those were available the first time I went through, too. Also some chieves are available if other characters in your party have been through it before. It’s not consistent.

In any case, I’ve just about completed my second run, mostly solo, and only a few of my missing achievements were available to me at the start of each story new to that character.

Strange, the only difference I saw was the ones specifically for Silvari characters. Maybe I missed something.

Good Solo Tanking Professions?

Everything can be tanky, everything can be solo friendly in the right hands. For me theif was definitely not a high survivor but others it was a cake walk. For me mesmer was a dream to level from the start and was one of the smoothest rides I had, other find it “impossible till high levels”. Everyone has their own style of play sorry to say you need to find yours.

karma buy light and medium armour at lower level NPCs then mystic forge them into items you can salvage. Great way to get all the leather and cloth you will need.
Another option that I don’t do is if you open and salvage champ bags etc on lower level characters you will get that level specific item.

[2016] Leveling Tips for NEW, LOW LVL players

New players? Map completion and harvesting will get you to 80 in 20ish hours. This gives you a hands on feel of the game, the environment and your character of choice. After you get used to the game the above works.

Yargesh.4965

There is a huge amount of content to go through in this game. People who don’t plan at all and want everything have a problem. The op being a new pleayer could have done old map complete, story and several side achievements to get the point needed in the base zone to fill out things like Pact commander so they get auto loot. Then move on to the new maps and be on the same footing as everyone else when they enter the HoT maps and just go around collecting HP and exp.
TLDR: take your time and it is amazing how the exp adds up and the mastery points as well..

Can World Boss Shadow Behemoth be reworked

As has been said it is a starter zone boss, leave it.
I would love all the other bosses except teq and tri wurm outside of the starter zones to be re-done though.

Maguuma Jungle Hero Points

Yargesh.4965

Welp, I spoke too soon. I found one that gives 10 points. It looks like the initial maguuma zones are kinda crappy and I just needed to move in deeper.

Side note: I wish I had glider unlocked already.

glider is fast and easy, do the story as you go in you will get what you need to unlock it. If not do the events right at the entrance and you are good to go.

The new areas all give 10 points each. Are you in Verdant Brinks or Silverwastes? Silverwastes give 1 point since they are not part of HoT.

Triple Trouble

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

In the EU GW2community.com does it several times per day every day with a high percent chance of completion. Get on TS, listen don’t need to speak, and just do it. Have done several hundred kills with this group. Have not done it in a month or so but can’t see any reason it is not done.
Also TxS does it.
Also Open community does it a couple of time per week.
Lots of choices but if you don’t pay attention and listen then the timing of the decaps and kill is off and the event can fail.

They had a higher cap for a while in game and it was impossible to play any time a large event happened. Somehow doubt other game handle the total population or even close to it. This is the number they feel is the most stable. If you want to get hired by the company to implement any ideas submit your cv and apply.

New Level 80 - Best Approach to Better Gear?

Don’t bother with the pay cash for gold unless you have zero self control.

You can get karma easily by doing Tequatl if you want as well.

New Level 80 - Best Approach to Better Gear?

Yargesh.4965

Get exotic for HoT maps. Old Orr maps rare are very good so if you want karma or gold you could do event farms in the old Orr maps and then get the karma armour as you go. Read the wiki pages on karma armour so you get the set you want. All temples have different stats available.
Fractals exotic work fine until level 20, then need ascended rings and such, then armour for high level fractals. Laurels can buy jewelry at ascended level so not a huge issue.

I find it a lot of fun. Only way to tell is to try it yourself. Forums anywhere is not a really good indicator of what the game is like to actually play.

Ulgy stuff either sell or use over Christmas.
Cogs and frames throw away, the chance of a use is tiny and the minis can be gotten by other methods.
Dwarf keys toss, they are easy to get if you need them for some reason.
Crude drawing I kept for sentimental reasons. It is not needed.
Scraps I don’t remember.
Double click the stones to get them into the wallet.

GW2 an E-Sport? Yay or Nay?

It does not impact me in the least. I do not participate in PvP, if they want to use that as an advertising method good on them.
Getting twisted out of shape by things that you don’t do is a waste of time.

Except it does impact you. The money and dev time required to support sPvP and esports could have gone towards creating content that perhaps you do participate in.

I guarantee they are spending less than going through a marketing company with international experience.
This is actually a very inexpensive route to take.

Circling while constantly using left right movement keys when you are gliding also helps with not being hit by the stones. Not a guarantee but does reduce the number coming right at you.

For three years there were only posts about how horrible the finish to personal story was. It was not ‘epic’ it was not me me me being the center of attention. Now the violins and sugar comes out?

OP was more saying that despite not being ‘epic’ and not being about me me me, at least it had a nice ending. Which is more than HoT can offer. So no, the PS didn’t just magically get better, but we found a spot to appreciate in comparison to the end of HoT

Could be, but to me the ending was more of a segue. Yes one thing ended but another thing began. The Arah was done with a complete stop in mind with the writing style.

Is LFG bugged?

This morning I tried to join a group to do teq. I clicked on a group, did not get in then I got a message the next time I tried to join a group that I had joined too many. Then when I was able to use it again I got into a group on a full map, again I was not able to join a different one because I had joined too many. This was one group I joined. I really hope this is a bug since I have never noticed it before when trying to join maps.

Like how story achievements are unlocked

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

The last living story you needed to unlock the base story on each character before you could do any achievements. Now after the first character runs the story every following character has the achievements unlocked and can do them based on what has been done before.
This is a great QoL change and I like it.
