Guild Wars 2

happened on JQ also
he never activated the 3rd turret/battery defence so when we killed him we got the blue green and exotic chest (kinda funny that i got my teq hoard on the time he glitches)

sometimes you just gotta go for style: this coming from the ele with 4 different armor sets.
i’m atm enjoying my traits (20,0,20,20,10) so a lot of my stat changes involves changing cloths, its also more versitile (as in swapping armor during a dungeon to fit the need of the team)

set1 is my soilder (and most used), gives some decent DPS due to the power and nice survivability with the toughness and vitality
set 2 is my zerker, for when i need more punch or wanna get into the dungeon runs where the listing is “zerk only or kick”
set 3 is cleric, for when i feel like just supporting the team
set 4 is Dire, for when i feel like running conditions (dire= condition, vitality/toughness)

only down side, since im to lazy to put it into the bank 18 of my inventory slots are my extra armor, that and if i decide to go overboard its gonna take me forever to ascend em all (not to mention all the trans crystals i’ll have to get if i choose to do that)

also they dont soulbind so thats a plus

at the moment i dont blame the tengu for firing indiscriminately into a warzone, everything is a threat so they are taking whatever measures they can to protect themselfs

also who to say some of the miasma didnt get passed the wall and killed a few of them making them really upset. if so, they are taking their anger out of anything that gets in range, so atm it seems to be a case of “shoot first ask who’s fualt it is later”.

third is its sometimes hard to tell who’s side everyone is on, they coulda thought you were one of scarlet’s henchies if they know scarlet is behind it

not another one of these threads

i like how the zodiac armor loots…. with the exception of looking like dr. manhatten while wearing it.

give us the option to be blue or not to be blue please

was expecting something along the lines of a mini foefire.
seems nice if not a bit… reduntent (in the fact that the oposing team is gonna be running over your dead body anyway: and getting ran over by a zerg if you got zerged)

certain dyes i could see being account bound but as stated earlier: it is profitable for anet to have people buying dyes from the gem store.

if they made unique dye for say a meta event then it better be account wide dye, maybe even with the exclusive dyes (as in molten toxic and such)

maybe even some rare dyes should be account bound (such as abyss and celestial)

i think it is an intended choice to prevent bots from mass selling items. only happens if you do it to fast. if you slow down a bit you shouldn’t have it happen

lordkrall.7241:

That is not the case. They advertise it as a Copper, Silver and Gold node, no information whatsoever about them being rich or not.

http://dulfy.net/2014/01/14/gw2-gemstore-updatemetallurgic-dyes-nodes-and-metabolic-primer/

first part says they are not rich nodes (dulfy = the bloody wizard of oz in terms of knowlage)
the scam part was opion because its 800 gems for copper silver and gold nodes, pretty common nodes already.

lordkrall.7241:

Several of the things you request in your posts are very borderline P2W.

convience does not equal p2w
p2w generally effects how the game is played, and lets face it: gw2 is about combat.
only real item i suggested that does somewhat alter the combat was the fractal manipulator but that only effects the fracts that you do, that means choosing the scenerios you are thrown into instead of it being randomized, they still have to fight though

rich gathering nodes of hard to get mats (ori, ancient wood, azurite, toxic spore, ect)
not that scam on the gem store now that gives you NORMAL NODES of copper silver and gold (3 peices of ore each normally: 4 if your lucky)

essence of luck packages, lazy rich players way to get their MF

perma(in black lion box with the rest of perma items)/consumable portable mystic forge

more toys

fractal manipulator- lets you pick what fractals you do instead of it being a lottery

ability to buy individual parts of an armor set without buying the whole set

grower/shrinker- lets you manipulate your size while out of combat

gathering minion(Golem, elemental, ect.)- uses whatever gathing tool you have equipted, gathers any node you pass, will not earn XP to the user and can be attacked by mobs (at a much lower aggro generation rate), must be toggled on and works for 10 mins before being toggled off with a 15-30 min cooldown

hero booster- 1 hour version of the birthday booster

crafting skill up: boosts craft of your choice by 10-25 levels RNG

super adventure box beta tester pass: allows the player to access the SAB when its offline

would be awsome if they put meta skin vendor in the instance also: allowing players to get more of the meta achievement reward skins (of the metas they have completed). this would allow players to aquire more then one and beable to donate some to thier pvp locker instead of having to choose how to use only 1 and having to use a transmutation splitter if they regret thier desision (no more: “which of my characters should i put it on” or “pve or pvp armor”). als allow the vendor to have the fused gloves in there (as skins).

also throw in some things from previous LS updates (such as the tri-key chest (lootable once a day/week) and the ability to buy recipes that were only available during the LS updates)

i like the idea of adding dungeoning to the mix

to me it be more like this
both ascended parts for the weapon, gift requiring dungeoning and mystic forging or regular crafting, and 1-3 vision crystals

YES YES something i’ve been wanting for some time is finally happening

obviously the student loans that she had to get for all the asuran collages drove her to madness. her “invasion” is a way to get her outta debt

personally i say the marrionette is both easier and more enjoyable then the wurm.

wurm is just insane when it comes to how many mobs the event throws at you (entirely convinced the purpose of the mobs are just to troll the groups of players)

marionette does have a lot of mobs also but majority of them are basic rank or veteran, during a fight with one of the wurm heads i swear there were 15+ champs mobs and a hoard of elites/vets: at marionette there’s perhaps 20 champions spawned at once (3 per lane(i’ve never noticed more then that in a lane) with 5 in the center), where as the wurm events…. i’d bet my unfinished legendary that theres almost 50 champs running around if you added em all up from the 3 events.

marionette is defiantly working its way up to my favorite world boss, and i have yet to beat it. it also explains how the fight work so much better then teq or the wurm with the regulator wardens. i want to see more bosses this epic with such a player friendly explanation of how to fight it.

only downside……. respawn time is tad long

ah zerker: once in TA a warrior bosted bout a 35k 100blades, meanwhile i was thinking “oh full zerker, that was why you were downed a lot”

never got why people adored glass cannon, you just die a whole lot faster if a mistake is made at all, and its near worthless in WvW as soon as you start taking hits from multible people
its also 66% worthless against bosses such as the shatterer, golem mark 2 or the fire elemental: since they are immune to crits thus presision/critdamage are negated leaving only power

back on topic with dungeons the zerker stacking works only if the mobs fall for it: example the fire golem from sorrows embrace doesnt go into your stack so it nukes the team with its fire patches and fire spin

honestly i think zerker stacking is the main source of the dominance, stacking itself is a double edge sword and zerker armor is playing dangerously close to that closer blade, if stacking fails they basicly stabbed themselfs with that double edge sword

on a side note majority of the zerker stated people i’ve encountered in dungeons have been warriors (made one myself to see how effective it is and i do say its very effective having large HP and armor already). so yea, warrior zerker is most viable in terms of efficency since even with zerker everything they are still in the area i’d consider “minmaxed”

honestly with pugs i’d stick with lvl 1-9, to many pricks at any level higher (unless you get lucky)

i just facepalmed at that "if not wearing zerker armor just leave*

i get that people like DPS but this whole fasination with being glass cannons is starting to get a bit annoying: i wear full pvt armor on my ele and i do fine in dungeons 100x better then when i was full zerker

the lighting hammer one made me LMAO though

FlamingFoxx.1305:

(crosknight, Chrono = time, Chronomancer = time mage)

thanks man

while not evil they sure do love rubbing their huge egos in your face
i swear zojja goes “i’m a proper asuran genius” every 5 mins

they are just the biggest kittens of tyria (in my oppion)

what is chronomancy anyway, drawing a blank here

apperently
Magnetic Current = self trolling

defently would also like the extra AoE underwater: would help out some instead of having to rely somewhat on the elite skill for massive AoE

personally i like fem charrs better then male charrs: i got 3 gals that i play on
first my primary (elementalist) fera whitemist (armor is starting fire elemental helm, inquest shoulders, t3 cultural chest, winged gloves from crafting,priory leggings, and t2 boots; back peice is suncatcher)
my guardian claire starbrazier (armor is hidden helmet radiant gloves/shoulders, HotW dungeon token chest,vigil leggings/boots)
and my warrior seranna razorblade (armor is T3 cultural helm, hidden shoulders, braham’s chest/gloves, pit fighters leggings, and T3 boots)

sigh yea its starting to seem like a huge surge of elitists are around

thank god i tend to make elitists kitten ed by just how i act =p they get kitten ed at me just for being non serious bout the dungeon run or saying that the thing that according to them “never works” works for me the last few times i’ve done it.

though unfortently nothing we do pvp or pve wise will ever get rid of those elitists that feel their time is more valuble then anything else.

only 2 of my charrs have peices of cultural armor

my ele has t2 boots and t3 chest mixing with other parts and my warrior has t3 helm and if i recall… boots personally didn’t like most of the heavy armor and light armor

then again i do prefer mix&matching armor

honestly i like the downscalling at some times but at times i dont wanna have a zerg of mobs chasing me while im running through a low level zone (even though it be easy to destroy them just lazy)

would like an option to turn it off whenever i felt like where mobs that are 5 or more levels below you when you have scaling turned off will just ignore you until you attack them or they wonder into your AoE. EXP will not be earned from mobs 5 levels or more lower then you (or the EXP earned will be so insignificant that its a waste of time) to prevent people from attempting to power level by going to an area with a lot of low leveled mobs that respawn quickly. items dropped from the mobs(again 5 levels or more lower then you) will be less frequent and generally the same level the mob was instead of your level. any heart that has progression based on killing mobs will not progress from kills if the “5 or more levels below you” condition applies

while mostly for casuals who just want to go from point A to point B without mobs chasing them everywhere, RP-wise this opens up many more places to be used other then easily cleared areas or towns/cities.

considering how in the personal story your 2nd in command of the alliance between the 3 orders, you’d think the orders you didnt join would let you buy some of thier stuff, probably for a “technicly not a member” markup (meaning you pay more for thier stuff)

considering for wintersday minis there was a fox… I WANT TEH FOXY FOX for mah ranger =3

could also see a dolyak being a pet and maybe even an elemental

i approve this idea, specially with ascended items, pvp gear (yes pvp gear is soulbound if you dont deposit it into the colections),

just make almost everything accound bound on equipt or in some cases aquire

only soulbound cases i could see still being viable are the starting gear you get in character creation (example being the flame eye for ele)

^ my pve build: trying min max myself: might change back piece to assassin stats for extra crit chanc or keep it at the same style stats i have now, i’ll figure that out later

yea of my 5 lvl 80s i use my ele most of the time having over 50% of my total playtime
my ele has 1,135 hours 24 minutes out of my total 1,974 hours 30 mins o.o
my other level 80s are
guardian, warrior, ranger, warrior AGAIN (yes i have 2 warriors get off my back lol)

so many nodes can be added

wiki page for dyes under the trivia section "During the first beta weekend event, players were required to obtain Colorful Dye Seeds that required cultivation back in the “Home” area. Cultivation took either 24 real world hours, or the purchase of an item from the Gem shop. Once cultivated it would drop a soulbound, unidentified dye; that dye would unlock a new color. This system has since been replaced. "

I WANT AN UNIDENTIED DYE NODE
just make it able to be used once a week per acount

with a few exceptions, most of it does looks good

defently worth a shot of trying to mix match it with other sets peices

some of the armor does look nice with the right dye combo
light armor: KILL IT WITH FIRE, only part i like are the gloves and boots (and i primary an elementalist charr)
medium armor: helmet seems a tad outta place
heavy armor: helmet on a fem charr looks like a crown lol (but destroy’s whatever hair im using) dont really like the shoulders but everything else seems easy to work with

all pics taken with my elementalist charr using preview: colors sed, iron wrath(the red) and dijon (no coloring on head piece)

hope they are cheaper to make then weapons since you gotta craft more of them

also hope they can drop forthe people who dont craft

Personally i see her like tyria’s version of the joker: just want to see the world burn in her madness: reminds everyone that the dragons are not the only threat to the world.

While i do admit she is annoying (specially during invasions when she ambushes me when im not part of a zerg ._.) , it just builds up her character as one who makes up her own rules.

Recently i loved how she refrences some parts of the personal story of your character: (my primary is a charr with sourcerus father: get scarlet saying “Like sire, like cub? How is your papa’s redemption going? Any slip ups?”)shows she actually has interest in your character (again like joker to batman).

im really looking forward to scarlet’s finale

so i got some friends in the EU servers from other games i play and i’d like to play with em however: since i’m in a US server i cannot guest to them and they cant join me due to same reason.

please remove this restriction

would recommend a set of PVT armor + 4/6 zerker(or assassin) accessories to minmax defense and offense (is what i have: one ring PVT dont recall back peice stats) with zerker weapons
(gives me around 25% crit chance with 60% crit damage and giving me 18-20k HP dont recall exact number)
also the crit chance doesnt help at all agains some world bosses as they are immune to crits (ie dragons)

pure zerker on me just made the ele WAY to squishy for my liking (was dieing in dungeons left and right and group events also)

PVT is also really helpful in WvW where you wont be decimated right away.

personally i dont PvP much so i wouldnt know how to give advice there

(dunno if this already been talked about)
kinda wish i could salvage them into ecto since once you make your ascended weapon they are kinda useless

could also go with Largos: i found them kinda interesting when Sayeh al’Rajihd made an apperence in the personal story

and just for LOLs, let me play as a quaggan

people are just impatient pricks: cant even wait 2 minutes before they go “oh lets just kick this guy hue hue” lost count of how many times i got kicked cause my dogs needed to go out.

sorry for putting my RL priorities first, cant be elitist like you guys who want to finish a dungeon in like 30 minutes

Scizzor.8137:

My group tried to do the last fractal which happened to be aetherblade. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but was wondering if anyone had the same problem we did. The (guy) boss at random times would go to cannon phase . From what I understand, he should do this at certain increments of Mia’s hp (75%,50%,25%?). Well he kept doing it before she got down to a certain percent. Which is fine and all but he never left the cannon phase after that?? So she has 7,8,9,10+ stacks and we cannot lower it. We ran around for 10+ minutes avoiding cannons while doing like no damage to her… is this intended?

yea this happened at lvl 17 for me also: im sure its a bug: makes me want to not fight her even more lol

lost count on how many of the level 80 trans gems i used on my ele: aw well sometimes you just have to go for style points

head: flame eye (starting elemental headpeice if choose fire)
shoulders: Inquest (CoE)
chest: T3 cultural
gloves: T3 cultural
pants: Priory
feet T2 cultural (if i recall)
back: suncatcher

my shining moments all on my guardian
-2 times agains first TA boss (champion nightmare wurm): solo’d from 25% hp and solo’d from 80% ho to 10% hp (before new people showed up to replace the 3 ragequiters)
and once during aetherblade retreat againt final boss
entire team wiped by cannons cept for me: rezed some1 while kiting boss: essentually revived entire team: went on to win

people who are just pricks: once in SE back when you could do that JP trick in p3, i jumped from the ledge into a group of dredge that 95% of the time are never there, person started cursing at me and calling me a noob: the others in the party kicked that sucker out. also impatient people count as pricks: if you whine about me going afk for 5 minutes just cuase i have to take out the dogs… you on my “i dont like you” list. seriously RL has to take priority (as much as i hate that fact Q.Q)

also people that must have it thier way: IE person said that pulling outthe first boss of arah p3 to a secluded corner doesnt work ever, told them that it worked the last few times i’ve done it and that the dead mobs were far enough away from the corner so they wouldnt be revived… person rage quits becuase i went against something he said: the remaineder of us do said trick and BAMN it works.

also hate people that cant take joking around: i never take things seriously, i crack bad jokes at everything (like me getting downed by lupi in arah, i say im trying to lodge a pebble into his toes) or do insanely stupid things that do actually work at times (using flaming greatsword spin to “helecopter” across gaps). genrally i find it keeps my sanity in check, specially in some runs that i do want to bite my tounge in, just swallow the anger and cracks jokes: generally keeps the party togeather longer.

last but not least: people who expect you to be the best at whatever your doing and to do ir right always: i admit im not the best but getting kitten ed about it wont help you: once some1 ragequit calling me a noob becuase im didnt trait my skills into cooldowns for my crowd control skills (plays elementalist mostly), this was doing the sub path of CoE at the golem security room (room where you have to use center consol 5 times) people want to get like 2-4 usages on it in a single go but IMO it be so much easier 1-2 usages at a time instead of blazing through it. also i dont want to change my playstyle just to make one or two vile players happy, i play primarly staff so stop telling me to play D/D, i use what i want when i want to and if i forget to swap to something i know i shoulda swapped to aw well, just gonna have to make do. my personal goal is to have fun: amount of time is usually not an issue for me.

personally only part of the boss fight i hated was the cannon part: last one lasts nearly 2 minutes… 2 minutes of you running around avoiding cannon fire that nearly take up the entire platform.

first time i fought her my team got wiped by said cannon fire (only one left and on guardian): spent the next 5 minutes kiting and reviving 1 person (who upon being revived went to revive others: essentially saved entire team). Over all the only part of the fight that did prove difficult was the cannon fire at 75% 50% and 25% hp.

even with the cannon fire: first champion in aetherblade retreat was so much harder… stupid lazer walls

the surprised emote makes the charr look dexterous. purring i would assume they do (tigers and lions do purr right? if so then most defently charr would be able to also) no clue about the second set of ears though

My primary is the elementalist Fera Whitemist
(gear for those who are interested: head= Flame eye, shoulders = inquest mantle, chest= magus coat, gloves = magus gloves, legs= priory leggings, feet = Archon boots)

my secondary charr is Claire Starbrazier (guardian)
(gear: helm=Draconic helm (hidden), shoulders= radiant mantle, chest= Heart of Koda, gloves= radiant vambraces, legs= Vigil leggings, feet=Vigil boots)

and my last charr is the warrior: Seranna Razorblade
(gear: helm= dreadnought visor, shoulders= pit fighter shoulderguard (hidden), chest= Braham’s chestplate, gloves= Braham’s Gauntlets, legs= Pit fighters legs, feet= Dreadnought warrboots)
