why no duel?

The question could be why are you so afraid to duel people who want to duel in sPvP, WvW and guild halls?

Added? That is up to the developers, they are constantly adding things, not all are wanted by me but a very, very steady stream since the dry spell before and after HoT.
Modified, underwater is high on my list. Everything from skills available to adding more complex areas and bosses.
A clearer idea of what they want out of guilds, I have private guilds that are 27 and 31 but others don’t and don’t understand what the point is, I agree with them.

Why don’t you use the several valid and easy options available now to duel? Or is ganking that important to you?

Third reason is that balance is elite vs elite vs base rather than elite/elite vs elite/elite vs base. Makes life slightly easier for everyone.

Go to sPvP and duel all you want.
If you can’t win on a level playing field absolutely ask for ganking but not really a priority.

why not everywhere do 1v1 ?u want to go other map waste money and load map?

Does not cost anything at all to go to the mists. You return to where you left on whatever map you are on. Several seconds loading screen is not a real hardship. So inconvenience and no ability to beat others on a level playing field seems to be your main reasons.

LEVEL 80 - DISTRESSING

Frankly starting HoT and getting masteries unlocked is not a tragic thing to do, get base gliding. You then go back to the story line and core map and earn things like true auto loot and fractal masteries if you want to do them.
After auto loot and story go get movement masteries in HoT maps. You may enjoy the maps you may not like them at all, up to you completely.
Just my opinion.

Hero point cost of new Specializations

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

should be more or less the same as previous one…. 250

So they can unlock the entire spec without touching PoF zones? That’s unlikely to happen.

I think it’s quite likely to happen, largely because it’s consistent game design. Think about it this way: would it make sense, looking 2-3 expansions down the line, to have the elite specs cost 250, 350, 250, 250, etc? No. However, if you look at the PoF demo map, it had 5 HPs, compared to 11 in most HoT ones (7 in DS). My guess is that they’re going to reduce the amount of HPs in PoF to exhaust existing supplies, then get onto a regular rhythm.

The demo map was not the entire map so there is an unknown amount left to find.

I think we may have to go through the NPCs that represent each elite and probably do a side quest before we can spend the points we have.

Mobs in PoF beta undertuned for demo?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Yeah, fighting a bunch of shrooms with 2 or 3 smokescales in the mix is soooooooo much fun …

There is only one spot on one map where that is possible and after you get to and do the golem HP you never ever have to go anywhere near there again.

Mobs in PoF beta undertuned for demo?

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Yes there is still HoT, there are also still mid level base maps that I can solo champs on. I can’t usually solo lvl 80 base map champs, I can solo new expansion champs. Why? I also can’t solo most base map lvl 80 group content but can in HoF. Again why, what purpose does this serve?

Mobs in PoF beta undertuned for demo?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

I don’t think they are under tuned for beta I think they are how ANET thinks the population of the game wants them to be. I think that this is not a good idea.
From memory (which is often wrong) the first HoT beta was tough and a learning curve and fun. The second the mobs where really dropped in difficulty and not really that fun. The mobs at release where a little less than the strength of the first beta and ok, specifically the snipers where at first insane I agree.
In the new HoF preview I am soloing champs like the lower zones, I am taking on multiple hydras (the heads do absolutely nothing but twitch on the ground). This is not good for the game I enjoy but if enough others like it too bad for me.

Unidentified gear

Yargesh.4965

I am thinking that I will probably identify the bags until I get all the skins unlocked then salvage everything after. Only thing I don’t salvage now are exotic weapons and that is only to throw them to the mystic forge. I have been very lucky doing this but with other sources of exotic (not from tp) this is a non issue.

HoT vs PoF

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

That’s why i’m back. This is the real GW2 expansion. HoT was just a zerg oriented gimmick.

HoT had a lot of good stuff, HoT’s two biggest problems were:

  • The content droughts on both sides of it. Anet is launching PoF directly after LW3 and LW4 directly after PoF, so it seems they have learned that lesson
  • A lot of the development time for HoT was spent on things the players wouldn’t directly notice, but were engine upgrades that made some of the mechanics in LW3 and PoF possible. The problem was the players didn’t notice it.

The hype of HoT didn’t match what was delivered. If HoT was launched without the content droughts and without the hype, I think it would have been much better received.

It appears that Anet is wise to all of this, and if PoF can match or exceed the hype we’ll be good for years to come.

Without the drought and with a shorter lead time the hype would have been manageable. It was the players that took every single detail and blew it up to something it could not possibly be. Spread across the amount of time it was ridiculous.
The people that did not even want to try to figure out the new maps also contributed since they hang out on forums instead of in game and give a lopsided view of the actual play experience.

Do I have to download all update

Yes you do.
If you know someone without those limits you can go to their house (or use a courier) and then use a USB drive to download to, then either keep on the drive and play or transfer over to your hard drive.

A question regarding accounts

Obligatory you under terms of service cannot share accounts.

If it is the launcher you are sharing it does not matter who has what, the account will only access what it has paid for.

Dwayna airdraft difficulty and suggestion

in Living World

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

I was frustrated getting up to the spider as well. The biggest problems for me were the disappearing updrafts and the fact that several of the updrafts were impossible to see when the waterfall was behind them. This made for about 5 min of frustrated flying until I got up there somehow, but I’m not at all eager to try it again.

One suggestion which I think would make the area much less frustrating would be to give players multiple, easy to access places where all of the updrafts could be observed easily so that players could plan out a route to take. During the first weeks of HoT I would heat up to the Patriarch fight in VB and just fly away from the platform so I could see where all of the updrafts were to plan the best ways of getting back up to the top.

Sit on top of the pipes and watch the sequence.

Yes you can start Heart of thorns now.

The 2nd and 3rd story arcs are bundled if you did not unlock them or you can buy one at a time at a slightly higher price. Can be bought when you order the next expansion as a cash ad-on or with gems at a later date.

Character Progression during Beta

Yargesh.4965

The way it worked last time was that your account was in effect cloned and the clone could do whatever it wanted in the new area.
This had no impact on your “true” account and was removed after the betas where done.

This is how it very likely will be again this time.

People used the copy for:

- testing stuff and builds without risking/spending their assets ingame
- throwing stuff into the mystic forge
- trying out new classes
- kicking themselves in the head for getting that longwaited precursor drop on their clone character instead of their regular account

Basically the clone characters and economy is completely seperate from live accounts. Everything that happens on there gets wiped. You won’t have access to the TP etc.

All rewards gained from interacting with clone characters like killing them in wvw though remains available and valid as long as it was created using the live account.

I imagine all my time during the beta weekend will be spent doing as you mention, testing stuff out, getting a feel for things etc. But does that mean if I do things in the vanilla maps or HoT during the beta weekend then any rewards from events there would get wiped too? I don’t imagine I will, but just curious anyway. Or during the beta will we just not have access to normal GW2/HoT and only have access to the beta content anyway?

Nothing carries over to your account. You can sell your entire bank and storage (to an npc) get all HPs and map/stories/achievements complete and it will vanish with the clone account.

They switch forums and all posts up until the switch are either gone or archived and not accessible.

They can archive them like other games have so relevant resources are available.

Forum software is proprietary to someone else, if they don’t use it I would guess they can’t access it. Maybe not, irrelevant since it is up to ANET to either use what they have or cater to a minority of a minority.

Maps locked behind story episodes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

they are permanent, there is a book that all scrolls can be placed in now so that only one common slot is taken up. The book is more expensive than the scrolls I think 10000 unbound and 1 gold

I just checked lake doric. If all the portal scrolls are 1000 magic and 50silver means we need 6000 magic and 3gold to buy all. which opens access to all maps

Living world Portal Tome (book) is 1000 magic and 1gold which saves you 5 inventory space.

I assume you need to buy scrolls before you can have then in the book. Am I right?
if yes that is 7000 magic and 4g.

And still you won’t be able to complete some of dailies, right?

Yes, but as I said I am sure many don’t complete all of the dailies anyway. If you want to do all of them do the story otherwise do what you can and move on or don’t enter the maps at all if it will be an issue.

Maps locked behind story episodes

Yargesh.4965

You can use tele to friend and then buy the scroll (or not) to have alts access it and not waste tele to friend. This way you never ever have to set foot in a story instance.
Will be the same going forward.
Farm and eat berries or blooms and do dailies and all is paid for in a very, very short period of time.

If I remember correctly, some dailies also require you to do story before being able to complete it. For example in bitterfrost if I’m not mistaken, “Daily Elixir addiction” cannot be completed if you didn’t do story. NPC won’t give you the recipe.

I never do that one anyway since it takes way more time than I am willing to put into it.

Having never had one of these scrolls… are they consumed on use or can you store them permanently in your shared inventory?

I’m not sure, I haven’t bought one yet. I took my engineer to lake doric with teleport to friend and my ranger by doing stories. Haven’t done the last two episodes of S3 yet. May be others can help with this?

You need 1 kill to get bronze. You don’t need to stick around after just go around the map and there are more than enough events to get 4 in a short period of time. Also avoid the commander tag since this will be the focus of the zerg.

Must you use a new jump mechanic every map?

in Living World

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

you were REQUIRED to unlock that skill to even access the map and advance the story, the only episode to do so.

except you were not.

myself I have got this one two days ago when I decided to wrap up ancient magic masteries before launch of season finale,and I was up to date with all the story steps so far – the only mastery from the track truelly “required” was counter magic for the first episode – after that everything was optional

Except you could not enter Bitterfrost Frontier without breaking down the ice barrier. You couldn’t break down the ice barrier without picking up a flame of Koda. You could not pick up a flame of Koda without investing the mastery points in that skill, and you could not do that without investing in the previous ones. I tried entering Bitterfrost Frontier without spending the points and it would not let me – it straight up told me I needed the skill to enter the map. Unless they changed that after the fact, which would be even more BS.

You absolutely could use that one outside the entrance to Bitterfrost without the mastery, I did it. How do you think the very first people got into that zone? I would contact support if you can not do so.

This is the first one that I didn’t like the direction the voice actors where given. It was all wink wink nudge nudge during the initiation ceremony and no cult/secret society would do that.
I like the map, confused about the siren abilities, can’t do last chance story instance solo since the npc dies at a sneeze and the sparks can’t be aggro’d away. Another character of mine probably but kind of defeats the purpose.

I found the same problem here. I could not aggro the sparks, I could not kill them fast enough to stop her dying within a minute of being rezed.
The stop waves when she is needs to be rezed or the keep progress with her spell would work for me I think, or just give her enough toughness/vit/health to actually live longer than a minute.
