If she is enjoying warrior stick with it. There are 5 free slots though so just playing around with combinations would be a good idea.

I just tried this, the warning says it will be soulbound (have never noticed this warning before) but the end result was an account bound item. I used a soulbound karma rifle to a white rifle. They may be planing on changing this but it seems it is still possible now.

A waste of wall of text.

Rangers with pets are bad for lane 2’s boss, there is no exception. Elementalists with an elemental also bad for this lane; but still elementalists > rangers ^^

I have never, ever gone down in Lane 2 as a Ranger. Or had a platform fail because of me. Rangers just need to learn to recall their pets when the pet has aggro. It’s not bad at all. And Healing Spring and Spirit of Nature are helpful too. Healing Spring can also be used by adjacent platforms for healing, if cast on the edge.

I have not failed lane 2 champ on my ranger either. Have never heard in map chat anything like what the OP wrote.

I think that if a group has killed a champ and destroyed the mechanism they should be able to go to another group. One slow group and the entire event fails which I don’t think is good.

It doesn’t drop champion bags in order to prevent people from failing it on purpose and raging at those that don’t go along with it.

Mostly this. Every event that the champ farming reward is greater than the final reward has resulted in people not wanting it to succeed. This way the most reward comes from finishing each leg of the event. This was actually asked for in these self same forums.

Hmmm. Off the top of my head, each lockbox key costs 5 gold (at the normal gem->gold rate).

20% of a scrap means 5 boxes to get one, or 25 gold per scrap.

Have fun with that.

You get the same game either way. Buy the less expensive one, all other items can be gotten via ingame gold to gem conversions or buying gems through gem-cards.

EDIT: The skins to me are not fantastic, must have items. The game itself on the other hand is.

What class should I play next?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

From my experience,

Ele: I leveled this up mostly in earth attunement using scepter/dagger. Getting attunement switching down is a steep learning cure but it makes the class much more fun when you get the knack. If you can run with another ele one in fire the other in earth you can rip through anything. Staff I only use in groups.
Necro: I really did not like this until I stopped with any kind of minion. This was the only character that I had success with in the Queens Guantlet.
Ranger: My first to 80 and can still do things in open world PvE/multi-mob that I find annoying with on other toons.

Which species you choose is up to you, my ele is charr, necro is sylvari and ranger is human.

Last Christmas when they where introduced they where needed to complete the wintersday meta. You could dodge the first knock-back and then attack, now you can’t. The best advice is to just ignore them since there are much better sources of gifts.

What happened to the manifesto?

Maybe so.

Either way, when everything’s said and done, this topic doesn’t move anything forward and becomes a standstill, slowly becoming stagnant and a boring topic to get involved in.

What happened to the manifesto?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Indeed. And almost on par with what I’ve said a few times. Even though I’m part of the group that was let down by the Manifesto, it’s written using soft wording that can easily be interpreted many different ways.

Like those who say “I’ve know what the Manifesto was saying the first time I saw it” most likely had no idea of the future much like those who say “THE MANIFESTO SAID THIS AND LIED /backstabbed”.

Different interpretations, and there’s nothing to be done. Useless arguing that leads to nowhere.

It is pretty much useless arguments but it has lasted a huge number of threads and 13 pages of this one. People take great joy in stating and re-stating their beliefs.

No, Scarlet kills Traherne in an attack on Fort Trinity, we defeat Scarlet once and for all with Rox, Braham, and Canach helping out. With her last act, she grabs Braham and whispers in his ear, he turns around and says slowly.

Run dungeons – for what purpose?
Farm gold – for what purpose?
Champ trains – lol
WvW – for what purpose?
PvP – for what purpose?

This is exactly how I feel after playing for around an hour.

I mean, I like the game, but there seem to be no purpose. No synergy between those said above.

I mean, yeah, we killed the champ. We got loot. What impact does it have on the world? none.

Yeah! Server is tier 1 on WvWvW! And? Oh we brag blah blah…

What have other games done that make you feel like you have changed the world that they created?

Off topic slightly but does it matter what crafting makes the back piece? That is does a huntsman only make medium back or is it account bound and usable by all? Just wondering if I should buy more of each recipe.

Back pieces don’t have armour types, it doesn’t matter what profession you make it as, it starts out account bound and when you use it you select its permanent stat combo and it soulbinds.

thanks

Yargesh.4965

I can’t really say that you have any sympathy at all from me.

FYI the farmers that farm linen get mad when you finish the event , cause if you set it up from the start ( witch you need to do most of the time ) it takes about 45min to set up that farm spot.

So when selfish people like you show up and ruin it , yes they get mad , specially when they ask you nicely to NOT finish it.

1 good farm spot in game VS a TONE of events you can go do some where else.

Thats why we cant have nice things . to many selfish solo players in GW2.

Farmers – * pls dont res mobs *
you- screw you i want to res 3 mobs to get my heart , you can wait an other hour so i dont have to wait 5min.

Questions for a returning player

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Good morning everyone!

- Too much content, impossible to know what to do and when. Came back a few months back, only to be overwhelmed with new portals, NPCs, etc… So many I got overloaded and left again.

- Open world events exploitable. Spam AoE and you get insane amount of XP. Heal and support others, and you get none.

Thanks, and have a lovely Sunday!

Hey just wanted to add my two cents on these points, and welcome back by the way!

You’re right there’s an absolute ton of stuff to do while you’re levelling, and it can get massively overwhelming, in fact the non-linear progression is one of the reasons I originally quit shortly after launch (been back a few weeks myself).

Best help I can provide for that is to advise you to just change your mindset. Don’t come into the game thinking ’I’m going to run quests A, B and C today’, come into it thinking ’I’m going to explore one new area today.’

The world is totally open (level dependant of course). Yep there’s a bucket load of stuff, but there’s absolutely no pressure to do it all, or in any particular order. Because levels scale, you can leave stuff for months, go back to do it later and still get the full benefits of the XP (and the loot drops which will scale up to your current level).

Currently my Asura is levelling in the Asura zone and also in the human zone, simply because I prefer those two. If I get bored of one and want a change of scenery, I’ll port over to the other and uncover some more map, doing the events I find along the way.

It’s a very casual, easygoing approach, but you’ll be surprised how quickly you level and how much you enjoy it!

As for open world events, they can still be a bit of a zerg-fest, but they’re quite enjoyable, the XP and loot can be good too and again, don’t seek them out, just do whatever you happen to run into on any given day – no pressure to go to any particular place or do any particular thing.

Very nicely stated Ren.

Why don’t you want to block them though? If they are ‘stalking’ you why not use the tools at hand?

I do not want to block them from messaging me. I would not like them to know the information that becomes available from being considered a friend, since I did not accept any friend request.

So they are not ‘stalking’ you then. You seem to create problems before they are a problem.

Free travel to home city

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Go to lions arch via the pvp menu (no cost), teleport to asura gates (no cost), travel to any city (no cost)?

The cost is load times multiplied by 3. I’d gladly spend 2 silver and some copper to avoid all that junk.

It’s because of the LA load times (especially at the start of fresh LS content) that I prefer to hang out in whatever cultural city is closest to me at the moment that isn’t LA.

Max cost is about 4 silver from anywhere in the world, why not just pay to go directly to wherever it is you are going.

Every game has a hub, does not matter how easy different areas are to get to. Lions arch is the social hub of this game, getting different free ways to get somewhere else will not change that.
