Guild Wars 2

8/10 Believable name for sure.

My three I have are:

Torch Relicbinder, Iron Legion, Engineer

Dartag Brutemane, Blood Legion, Warrrior

Kraalfar Fauxstrike, Ash Legion, Mesmer

7/10 Lags is funny and kinda believeable

I have a lot so here goes. My three male names are Vorrm, Qoltt, and Tillod.

Gate of Uroboros [GU] is rebuilding! We are PvX, a laid back sort of people, don’t take this or any other game too seriously, we don’t require 100% rep (although you should stop by every now and again at least) we already have all our perks unlocked, and we just need more members!

So if you want to come join the awesome people here and help us to rebuild a fun community to play and chat with Whisper me in-game or send me a mail.

Sinceuriously, Yata.

This is so cool! I agree that this would be a cool feature for all classes, even cross class combos maybe. They should seriously consider making more of these!

Hmm, well let me start by saying that as an Elementalist, it’s very natural to switch between fire, water, air, and earth attunement during combat. Generally speaking Fire is geared toward higher damage and burning skills, Water is geared toward healing, Air toward hampering your opponents mobility and increasing yours, and Earth does heavy bleeding attacks and defensive spells.

From my experience if enemies are more than 2 levels above you they are gonna be pretty tough. I don’t know if your in over your head or not ikittenone, but keep that in mind.

As for the boulders you can through, yeah they do tons of damage. there’s no helping that really, it’s no measure of your strength.

Also yes, your number 6 skill is always your one and only straight heal. Some of your water skills will also heal you or your allies, fro the staff the two skill that heal are AOE so make sure you step in them if you want some healing for yourself.

And yes your “Passive” skills, Which are called signets, only activate their passive effect when they are in your skill bar. You may then click them for a different effect, and once on cool down they lose their passive effect until recharged.

Now to answer your question, No the weapon skills are always the same, and are specific to each weapon. You can cast your No. 6 skill and then use some water skills that heal as well, but make sure to learn to constantly move and dodge. As an Elementalist, you have one of the lowest base HP, So your a little squishy. make sure to pack in some toughness and vitality and probably condition damage or power if you like in your weapons and armor.

I just have to ask if you’ve been spending your trait points along the way, and upgrading your equipment every so often, as this will help you general ability to kill and survive.

So I launched the game today only to find that i would get anywhere between 1 and 8 FPS. ever since launch I Have been able to play on all max settings at around 60-70 FPS no problem. I was even able to play like normal two days ago, but today for some reason I have a very low frame rate.

Anyway, My graphics card is up to date, I’m over the minimum requirements still. I’m not sure what information to post to help you guys get a better idea of whats going wrong though, so if someone could give me some guidelines for that, that would be cool. Any help would be appreciated.

My usual raiding party tried the Arah seer path last night, and made it to Siminh, High Pries of Dwayna. And as far as we understood, she was supposed to get to 50% HP and then stealth and slowly heal, and then we kite sparks to the statue so that she’ll come out of stealth, and we are supposed to have about a minute to kill her afterwards or something.

This does not happen, we got her to 50% HP, she went into stealth, kited the sparks, Fought her for maybe 20 seconds before she stealthed again, and if she managed to regen above 50% as soon as she hit 50% again she stealthes.

The fight was impossible, we’re not even sure what was supposed to happen normally. It was very frustrating and we spent a good hour and a half trying different things to no avail. Any feedback on this is much appreciated.

So my usual raiding party tried Arah explorable yesterday, all was fine and dandy until we got to Giganticus Lupicus. Now honestly hes not a hard fight, except for the fact that his red AOE circles are nearly indistinguishable for people who are red/green colorblind, infact There were some parts of hios room that even the non-colorblind people could not see the circles well enough to know they were there.

So what I’m suggesting, If a colorblindness fix is not already in the works, is the ability to change the color of those circles, and to make them a little thicker.

This is not the only area that this occurs but was a serious set back for us, and left a bad taste in our mouths of ever attempting Arah explorable again as is. ):

It’s actually stated by Trahearn (everyone’s favorite) that the risen population will slowly be wiped off the face of Tyria, as well as his corruption. This is basically a lore excuse to still have zombies in the game even after a person has already killed Zhaitan and goes back to Orr.

Cappy.2786:

Aren’t Kodan norns that stay in their animal form?Since norn came from Kodan.Maybe when kodan give birth they wait for their children to grow up and then they transform.

Thats what some researchers theorize. The kodan believe that the norn are close relatives
that lost touch with koda, and so can only take the form of a bear occasionally.

Oop! My bad, i knew that. >.> And given the dates posted i suppose it does make sense that it would be written in New Krytan.

No, thats a Pirate ghost at the end of the JP. She is in the undermarket, in the northwest corner of the map, Hoologan’s Route I believe.

seems kind of like an oversight, the Seperatist posters in Ebonhawk are written old Krytan.

Just close planets, probably. That’s usually the case with RL stars like this.

no the gate is for the dungeon, the event will likely start by the big gold star on your map…

http://www.arena.net/blog/dream-and-nightmare Here is the story of Ronan under “The Pale Tree.”

Thing is that it’s not that much of a difference. Also I did check with my own greatsword and it doesn’t exhibit this behavior, maybe it’s just that one skin?

for one reason or another, if you have 6,000 exp accumulated and you die, you must accumulate 6,000 once again before the achievement will increase.

Yes, people tend to misunderstand concept art. Its drawn to give the team ideas by creating an atmosphere just cause you see the art a certain way does not mean that it is cannon or it should be.

I don’t notice this myself, probably cause i haven’t looked for it, but i don’t see why that would be intentional.

Mystic Starfish.2586:

There’s a charr that roams around with a dolyak, has been there for at least a week, with a name like fur-eye or something, which might be the one you’re talking about

Yes, Fyr Raggedfur is the one making the delivery. I don’t know if i just missed that big old caravan this whole time…

Edit: Ninja’d…

Some people are finding other posters occasionally, though i have not seen any, there’s also a slew of new NPC speaking of export and southern seas. Not to mention the tons of crabs and beached whales all over LA. (I don’t see whales but some people do)

lol It’s New Krytan it’s all over the place. and the posters are a hit as to the big patch on the 15th. there’s tons of threads already on this you know.

yeah not sure if that charr lady is new but i think i would have noticed a dolyak strolling through the square, also the ships seem to be BLTC judging by the logo on the sails. and they have some cargo with odd symbols on them.

I’m on Magumma and i don’t see whales ever, i tried going up the the vista like you were at, and various other locations, but i did not see whales.

They can be found around most of the ‘beaches’ in LA, also note the tons of fishers gathering near these things, the metric kitten ton of crabs all over, the grawl refugees, the npcs talking about export and sailing to southern waters, the mysterious asura gate next to a house in the south, the boat anchored in the south west corner, and the priory tent near the memorial, and then theres an npc who is expecting a very dangerous delivery from the north. The clues are all over the place, but they don’t all add up.

I’m thinking that we’ll have to fight a huge crab monster judging by the sign.

I kind of like that you have to find the lore by looking for it, just like leaning about real world history, it’s not always thrown in your face.

Jayne.9251:

It’s a filter used on the forums to replace bad words. I wish they’d use it in game too, that would be hilarious.

They do! You probably have your profanity filter turned off if you don’t see it.

How are you being blocked from collecting anything or progressing in game by hackers???

nope sylvari hold their hands above and below the hilt while it rotates, I’ve seen a charr do a different one, pulling one hand back and extending the other, still levitates though. I would assume this is intentional.

The only thing in act 3 was the addition if the ascent to madness dungeon., the attend the party achievement (which is the only one left) will most definitely be on the 31. and none of the activities are time sensitive. I believe the Halloween festivities will end on Nov. 2 or something like that.

I loved it, yeah i got frustrated, but I was bound and determined to do it just to see if i could lol. After a short distance most of the others fell away and I made it to the top. Got my adrenaline going that’s for sure.

You must remember that the decision to use the centaurs against the undead is an Order of Whispers plan. (If I’m remembering correctly) Also, the sylvari don’t worship Ventari, they merely revere him and his ideals, and they most definitely don’t look upon centaurs of today as sacred or anything like that. they see them as having long since fallen from grace. (according to an NPC conversation somewhere…) The centaurs thru out history have not been a race that takes on peace treaties very easily. They want to rule and subjugate all other races AFAIK. Theres only one centaur that we know of (in Lion’s Arch) that suggested peace, for the good of their tribes, however they got banished for their peaceful ideals quite swiftly.

Correct me if anything seems off here, these are just my observations from playing and speaking to NPCs.

Also i’m just curious as to what you would consider ‘more sylvari like’ I feel they are different enough but in a lot of small subtle ways.

Ha! So it was both NPCs. yeah I think it’s funny that the pups are born small but the sylvari themselves aren’t. /shrug

Do sylvari have romantic relationships?

Sylvari fall in and out of love, just like other races do. They have a romanticized view of devotion, and they’re curious about passion in all its forms. There are male and female sylvari, but none has ever produced a child as other races do. Because of this, traditional human-style gender roles have no meaning to sylvari, either in their society or in their romantic relationships. Often, a sylvari’s ardor is expressed with courtly zeal—emotional, empathic, personal—and is not necessarily defined by gender.

From the first link. Don’t ask for sources if your just gonna skim them.
but this is veering way of of the original topic… oops lol.

I can’t remember where exactly, maybe in the Caledon by all the dogs, or maybe in the Omphalos Chambe, Someone explains that the pups are born from the tree “small” and grow to full size in a few months.

Narcemus.1348:

Either that or Sylvari are a recently created society and they have no background on which to place any importance on sexual orientation. And I would like to know what blog post, because I read pretty much every 1 during development and I don’t remember any outright stating that they could not reproduce. If I remember right it was being left to question with other things like if they die of natural causes, since no sylvari has died except to weaponry or dragon corrpution.

http://www.arena.net/blog/the-sylvari-soul#more-5533
here ya go. there are a few interviews as well if you’d like to see them .

It was stated in a blog post, during devlopment, that the sylvari cannot bear children. They all come from the pale tree when they are “born.” This is more than likely the reason why sexual orientation is not that big a deal among the sylvari.

Sylvari apparently do have organs mimicking humans own internal organs, what exactly they have is not known but they can perform all of the same functions as a normal human. This includes copulation, thought they do not reproduce.

If their skin is torn it does grow back but at the same rate as a humans skin would. They do bleed out, although their blood is said to be a golden sap like substance.

That’s all I got.

the “next day” is 8:00 pm EST.

I think ity’s funny that something like this was censored, but I saw a guy named Big kitten in pvp…

Edit: kitten is supposed to be another name for a male genitals, starting with an “sch” and ending with “long”.

Awesome, I wonder if other extreme environments do anything? Hmmm.

Speaking of small things, I love the NPCs sometimes, theres this chicken farmer near the town of Ascalon Settlement that sings an awesome song about chicken lol. cracked my kitten up.

Some of the Nightmare Courtiers that you can talk to doing a heart in the Caledon Forest say something along the lines of: “The Nightmare has always been. It is the dark thoughts and emotions that dwell within us all.” You must remember that the dream is, as stated by Trahearn (more or less, don’t know about that last one for sure, Memory, Aether, and Magic. the dream is full of memories, emotions and experiences from all sylvari,. The nightmare is just the dark part, the painful experiences, the dark thoughts and/or actions. But other than that, information is scarce, the dream is a mysterious thing indeed.

well given the name and since they are mentioned by NPCs I would think it’s safe to say that it is a seal you have somewhere on your person, how you “activate” it may take some explaining, however magic is a wonderfully ambiguous thing.

but wouldn’t this be the exact same thing as we have now, just more exaggerated? For example: If you increase healing but also increase the cooldown that’s, in the end, the same amount of healing in a given period of time right?

I would suggest looking into the Tarnished Coast server, they are currently our unofficial RP server, idk if it’s full or not. Or alternatively you could be on another server and look for an RP focused guild, of which I have seen many.

yeah it’s annoying as there are some vendors that I can’t even access… like when the dungeon vendors are on top of eachother.

well someone moved all the dungeon vendors into a giant clump and i can’t even talk to the AC or CM vendors. I want my skins. and apparently the cooking vendor is inaccessible in his current spot.

Also, I understand why people did it. Maybe there were too many people in the bank, but there are two bank vendors each and bodyblocking does not exist, so I can’ t justify it.

yeah I sent in a report as well, just to let them know. after the last patch the NPCs reverted to their intended spots, and you could see in map chat people egging on the guardians to “clump them all together” and whatnot.

There’s already like three other threads like this floating around here somewhere. But to answer your question, nope that’s about all we got right ^^ there.
