I should have saved that video, but everytime the communication issue is brought up I just remember the video someone cut together of them repeatedly saying “We can’t talk about that”… that video sums up ANet so well.

This one?

Yes…

Uh, uhm, uhhhh… erm, uhhh…

You son of a…. you made it! Lols.

E: starting an arah solo with the kitten tag. OP! I feel more powerful. Maybe I’ll manage not to die like an idiot at belka. As usual.

You do know that ifffff a red comes here, he’s just gonna post a link to the, uhm, enlightening speech O Brien gave about communication, don’t ya?

i did some exploration and found out that before patch i got: staff, sword, torch, two shortbows, longbow, pistol, rifle, spear, harpoon gun and a hammer.

post patch: trident and shield.

have in mind that pre patch time lasted about little more then a year (i think the patch came around january, maybe february this year) and post patch till now, sooo… around 9-10 months.

you do the math how much drop rates changed.

the math is missing a very important piece of info.. your pre and post pristine counts

Are you talking about pristine relics? I am pretty sure the sole difference was that you could only get them on Fractals 10+ on even levels. I highly doubt anyone does such a low Fractal on a daily basis anyway.

yes but more generally im asking about how frequently hes been running. he said nothing about daily runs. just that he got like 10 weapons in a year and 2 weapons in the next 10 months. how am i supposed to know if he ran 50 times in the year and 10 times in the 10 months? cuz then the drop rate would be about the same, but his interest in running fractals dropped significantly.

I had about stack before the patch, no idea about the exact numbers and got all of the skins pre patch (including multiple Hammers and Shields). Only got 2 since the patch (Dagger and Trident).

I hate you. Go get kicked by Lupi or get zapped by a Risen Illusionnist.
I only play Fractals sporadically after Fractured patch. I’ve got Rifle, Sword, Mace, Long Bow, Spear, Torch, Axe in that order. Most of them were from Mai Trin.

Did he tell you that he got a couple of precursors yesterday?
Oh, uhm, yeah, you hold him and I punch him, okay?

dlonie.6547:

I still feel bad for Gaile. It feels like after the communication blow-up, they just shoved her outside of the ArenaNet fortress of silence, bound and gagged, and told her to do a little dance to keep us entertained. As much as I’d like to see the things she’s said in that thread come true, it’s not up to her to make them happen. :-(

Brrrr, this picture made me shiver and hiss irl. Uncomfortable and awkward.
I’ve been having this feeling since she started coming occasionally to the trashc-dungeon subforum… you know… that feeling…

Heh. Well, I mean, are we really sure that they have a plan somewhere, but they’re just not telling us?

Ugh, that’s the problem of being cheeky and sarcastic all the time… Everyone’s scared!
:(((
But yeah, I like making new frands. As soon as I get a free spot, we can be frands.

Interesting.

That mysterious force I quipped about last week? It materialised as my old crew. They’re back.

His teeth creep me out.
Offtopic: Dean Winchester disguised as a… erm… protestant priest, I don’t remember how they’re called… is making me die of laughter.
As much as the idea of an expansion in gw2.

- Got blinds? have mobs swing wildly while running around chaotically to try and get their blinds prematurely removed

[/quote]

I don’t know why I bothered reading that, but this made me lose it. Lol. Guys, imagine mobs starting to run around like crazy headless chicken when they get blinded. Ahahaha.
“I’m blinded LET’S RUN AROUND so players have to chase me down, it’s so dynamic and fun!”
I also imagine how fun it would be for a guardian to have mobs run/move away when you lay down WoR. It’s not like it has a 32 seconds cd, right? Spammable!
I’d spend the entire day gathering 5 guardians and making walls of walls everywhere to herd mobs.
Like this.

P.S. Maybe you kids don’t remember, but you have no idea how stupid it looks when a mobs runs away from your attacksin an attempt to “kite”. Buy a time machine and go back to beta n2-3. Then roll staff elementalist. Laugh.

Woops, I mayyyyyy have broken it.
/giggle

Jeez, dis dominik guy.
Honestly? I couldn’t care less if I have a warrior in party or not. Aside from the banners, I mean. Everything they do, another class does better. All these nerfs to their personal damage didn’t help at all.
Yes, I do giggle under my breath because I play ranger and the idea of my little lady outdpsing the 100b spammers fills me with amusement, but I don’t see why they nerfed the warrs’ damage so harshly. They weren’t that great in the first place, really.
/poke
Soz, miku, couldn’t resist

I totally think the last nerf was unneeded and it would be nice if they reverted back to what it was (not for me, I don’t play that class for peasants!). Considering the huge mess pve is in, though, I doubt we gonna see any change in the near future.
Still, I don’t get why this small change is taking dem hate. Ok, they should change 200 things, but who cares…
I’ll still kick your kitten with dem op ranger.

[insert complaint about necro being broken since release]

[pvp balance whining]

[flirty comment about spoj]

Oh and btw, dominikucchi…. an engi stacks might better than a warr (+ crazy vuln). An elly stacks might better than a warr. A ranger can potentially stack might better than warr AND great offensive buffs + superior vulnerability. Oh, and also much better fury.
A warrior stacks might very well… for himself. Mostly.
And phalanx…. I love playing phalanx, but the damage loss is just crazy.
Now I’m outta here before he starts throwing a fit.
/runs away

I demand a nerf to mordrem teragriffs.
Their fgs rushes are destroying the game and ruining my immersion. A nerf to the stupid damage of the fgs could improve the game dramatically for me.
No, seriously, they keep fgs’ing npcs down while they’re cornered, and then whoop my kitten when I try to unstuck the npcs out of the kitten corners.
All dis stacking, I HATE it! kitten elitists not playing the game as intended!

… Ok, ok, it’s fun when I see an entire zerg being pulled up in the air (then downing on the ground) by a leggie teragriff. It feels like justice. Doesn’t help when I spill milk all over the keyboard, though.
That’s one fun thingy to solo

With everyone making love?
Uh, no, ew. I’d rather have a nuclear war.

The first one (er, three. At once).

Ohhh, much like an orgy then?
I should’ve been there. Dang.

E: LOL, I love that. Edit edit: I also love you, dlonie <3 No but seriously, what will stop me from spamming sphincter all over the forums now?

Of course ncsoft always talk about it, they’re probably nagging anet to start making some meaty update already….
… and they’re screaming on top of their lungs “IT’S NOT TIED TO THE LIVING STORY!!! CONFUSING FOR NEW PLAYERSSSSSSS…”

Sometimes, I like to think that there’s a guardian angel in ncsoft… a guy that wants them to open the SAB again.
Open it again, and I’ll start becoming religious. You can keep your “expansion”.

Last time SAB was up i saw a lot of complains of the forums about people having motion sickness or something like that while playing SAB, so i think they removed it because of health hazards. I wonder if SAB could inflict the same effects as that pokemon episode that made thousands of children get convulsion.

My stress headaches get worse when I’m seeing a bearbow. I want bearbows removed from the game.
I support the sentiment.

Oh, by the way, since I wasn’t on the forum for a few days… how did the raid CDI end? Are we finally getting some crafting and wvw siege weapons in dungeons?

Purple Miku.7032:

I agree with Wethospu.

We all know that for example chain deep freezing can make bosses like Archdiviner/Imbued Shaman nicer for a few seconds of bursting but it’s pretty insignificant with how much it really helps. Increasing the duration of the freeze would lead to problems in PvP/WvW for sure since they are too stubborn to separate balance changes, so it doesn’t seem like an option.

Putting boss skills on full cooldown would make it much more useful to cc bosses.

Harper.4173:

Fractal reset!
Never forget!
:(

You called?

This thread is mildly entertaining.
Supernatural is starting to get rather boring. I hate Sam. I want to slap him.
I do believe that we’re never going to get an update in time before all of my friends leave the game. This includes, but isn’t limited to, QoL improvements such as this one.
/yawn

Iris Ng.9845:

I don’t even pug on EU anymore because of the AP discrimination. Such kittens!

This mostly, so much AP requirements. Also it seems the higher the guard’s AP, the less he knows about using basic skill like WoR. Sigh…

I can confirm.
The more my AP grow, the more I need to get carried, the heavier I get.
Will I ever stop sucking? Bets open…

Ops, my page didn’t upload. Soz.
I like cats.

Or just go kittening berserker and keep all that kitten for record runs.

Sarahfull.4930:

He is a picture of me and mai having a quiet rest and also looking adorable. ^^

Don’t tell me she likes girls too <.<
God, Jory, why u doin this to me.

Well, ok, I’d like to see how much damage I did at the end of the run, I’ll be honest. It’d be fun to compare it with my friends on ts… more reasons to hurl insults at those kazuls.
But then again, we have the combat log…

I don’t know, I just don’t think it’d be that useful unless they add everything I and other people mentioned.

Iris Ng.9845:

deSade.9437:

All I know is that I played with an italian, multiple german, british and dutch guys and YET we all have lag spikes, one way or another.
At the same time.
It can’t be on our end, it cannot possibly be.
But I have no proof of this…
I’m having it worse than some, most of the time, but I don’t know if it means anything.

Because EU.

In before Dub is gonna jump in and rage about how laggy the game is :p

Ehehe. Surprised he isn’t here yet. The chat in rT was mostly him raging at his lag.

Conspiracy theory…. they’re making us lag in instances cus elitists!!!!

spoj.9672:

This gearset is exactly why i never bothered to make an ascended rabid set for solos. I was counting on it being introduced eventually. Seems that was a wise decision. :>

I’m upset about the waste of all dem condi boxes I got in faptals. I seriously.. seriously… hate.. this… URGH.
Let’s assume I’m lazy and I dont’ want to do CM, can I go with nightmare runes on my necro and go terror necro? :/
Plz. You know how lazy I am.

Ropechef.6192:

hybrid.5027:

Sinister gear should allow new records for warrior, engie and necro lupi solos if someone was inclined to pursue them.

I was just about to come mention that.

#fixrampager2014

Random though though. Would this stat set allow for the possibility of a Condi based party member in say Fractals, where the fights are longer? Such as a possible spot for a Necromancer to not feel quite as useless??

obviously not optimal, but at least useable?

What, a condi necro has always been usable. Especially in 49.
I played it a few times and there was no noticeable drop in dps… not optimal perhaps, but useable, yes.

Now that I think about it, I don’t even care, I’m NOT buyin an ascended set, and since I have 3 ascended rabid pieces… fk that. Unless I get condi chests from faptals, I’ll keep going with rabid. I play how I want.

What interests me is that they finally thew a bone at their GW1 crowd. I wonder if they’re starting to listen? Should I be hopeful!??!
Despite the achievements being quite buggy, I liked this LS.

Been having huge lag spikes + random dc’s since the september (?) patch. Always in dungeons, a good 80% death rate because it freezes for 2-5 secs up to 20-30.
I didn’t think my proficiency at playing could plummet even more, but it did. I’m like dead weight now.
I’ll probably stop playing before anet gives a kitten about it. Others in my party have the same problem, to a different degree.
I noticed there’s an increase in dc’s and lag everytime I try to solo arah… Dc’ed twice at abomination before I ragequit.
Coincidence?!?!?! I think not. They’re sending me a message!

lasically bactually aliterally?

I’m pretending raids aren’t happening, that way when they do happen I have nothing to be disappointed about if they’re bad, and a pleasant surprise if they’re good.

Please, inundate me with the power of your mind brain and kittening teach me how to forget about that CDI happening. Every day I check, every day I feel dirty…

Aye it’s simple. Just busy yourself with being excited for the next set of ‘new’ endgame content that they release in the cash shop.

Marionette was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard man, that’s the perfect raid.
It could keep me entertained for about a couple of da- no, what am I talking about. More like a couple of runs…

frifox.5283:

I’ve never done “raids” before but in my mind a Raid = 5hr extra difficult dungeon run in a 10 people party with an epic, exclusive reward at the end. I honestly wouldn’t mind something like that. In fact, I would love if ANet added something like that. I’d even buy GEMS to access something like that.

Just think of the 12man instances in gw1. I want something like that. Urgoz, the deep… can watch videos if you like.
Dem feels…
Oh, sorry, I forgot that adding something specifically guild wars-flavoured to GW2 is a crime.
My baaaaad.
Bring it on, ls.

Sad, isn’kitten
Most of the suggestions that make sense aren’t even considered because they come from “elitists”. See notrigger/spoj u.s.w.
The ideas I keep seeing over and over regard gear types and being able to replay LS.
….
I thought people had enough of that, but NO. More LS!
Ergh.
More LS, more world zergs, more crafting and more PvD, yayyyyy.

I’m so sad. I wanted difficult elite missions so badly… call them raids, I don’t care… something like gw1.
Then I read the CDI and I realise we’re gonna get some recycled and revomited content from the LS or, at best, some super easy instance that lasts 30-35 minutes and can be beaten first try.
Someone hold me.

Oh. My. God. I… Please. It’s too much to handle.
Sugar ruuushhhhhh

Shush, don’t hurt dem feelings.

Seriously, this video should be required for everyone who comes into this game wanting to be a healer. Potatoes really gave a healing build a try, but found a plethora of reasons why healing is not viable in this game.

My favorite: “Rallying. It’s a thing.” xD DPS does better at getting people back on their feet most of the time…

Stop. Using. LOGIC!
You’re scaring me.

Poor deSade can’t get his goat porn to work :-(

I watch cat porn, what are you talking about.
But I have to watch on Firefox, else it stutters as hell. I can only use Chrome for my mail and for reading/browsing this forum/exc.
Who knows why…
I want to watch dem kitties!

Ikr, you need the cool kids’ browser to watch erotic goat pictures.
Apparently it senses I’m not a cool kid, therefore it refuses to work properly for me.

I read about 10 posts in the raid cdi and I stopped. It’s disgusting.
Meh.

Have a spooky Halloween everybody.

P.S. I also have a skeleton hanging from a slipknot in front of the door, but it’s too dark and I can’t send a pic.
P.P.S. Will this stench of fresh pumpkin ever leave my hands? Bets open.

winterchillz.2564:

Hey,

Winter the kazul here; It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but I feel like I should say a couple of words. This post will probably be TL;DR so feel free to skip it.

Going straight to the topic – I’m done with GW2 and I more or less quit it; I accomplished all the goals I had in this game, except for one – being trialed successfully by rT, but I guess you can’t have it all.

Anyway, as this will probably be one of my last posts on those forums, maybe even the last, I feel that I have to express how grateful I am to a couple of people.

First and foremost, thanks to all my guildies in Cloud of Sparrows for the support and fun we had together in game. I know that I’m not the easiest person on Earth to get along with and I’m thankful that you stayed along in my journey.

Second, I’d like to thank deSade, Blessing Nosferatu, Spoj, Dalanor, Adam, Enaretos, LunarStarlet for picking me up while I was just a casual and teaching me how to play properly (true story); thanks to you guys I became the kazul I am today, good that you had to carry me through all the dungeons and fractals we did together. Also thank you for not just being a strangers over the internet, but also my friends too.

Third, special mentions out to:

Lilith – I doubt you’d see this post since you already left this place, but thank you for the time we got to spent together and for your flawless taste in fashion. Happy to know my characters looks were approved by you;

Swifty – Grand Master Brain, thank you for the fun here on forums it hasn’t been once or twice when I laughed big time on your posts, also don’t stop being gorgeous;

Iris – Never got to really meet but I appreciate what you’re doing for the community, both personally and via [NooB];

Lindybear – Forums Bingo best topic EU <3;

Taku – Thank you for always feeding me cake in LA and inviting me to join [King] fractals runs, those were amazing, I’m sorry I couldn’t get to that point of efficiency you guys have with my guildies;

Trice, Minigrump, IvanTheGrey, Jerus, Novaan, Silber, anyone who I could have possibly left out – Thank you for the fun we had together on here (and in-game with some of you), guys. Keep up the spirit.

All the casuals – for teh Bingo lulz;

All the best and good luck with your future endeavors, everyone, don’t stop being so awesome and keep up the kazul spirit.

If anyone would like to keep in touch, I’m @winterchillz (no kitten, bro) on Twitter. I also am back into Dota 2 and CS:GO every now and then, if you need a kazul to kazul with, we can kazul together.

Many thanks and goodbye,
Winter

I feel like I must have failed somewhere.

Spooky halloween video time!

Its time for the halloween special video I went and soloed the labyrinthine horror for some fun.

While I expected the fight to be very easy, the kitten unblockable,undodgeable shout is ridiculous and he spams it all the time xD I will now officially take on speedcleansing 1v1 challenges.

Watch at own risk: http://youtu.be/Su6PTtpsdOY

For this video I thought I’d change my outfit a bit, to fit the mood.

Enjoy and have a nice gw2 halloween

I hate you so much I’d vomit a hairball right in front of your feet.

Meh, a dps meter doesn’t really show anything, anywhere. I’m playing a few wow clones right now and it’s just crap; also, pointless. They’re often buggy, the dps isn’t properly credited and it doesn’t directly reflect in any way on how a person is contributing to the team.
For instance, ccs are much stronger than raw damage, but I’ve never seen any credit for it, ever.
Stupid people just use dps meter as an excuse to trash other players if they’re on top, ignoring the fact that they often cause wipes or whatever incommodity to their team’s healer/supporter by being reckless in their tentative to climb the dps ladder.

CCs, freezes, interrupts, boons, number of dodges, number of blocks succeeded, amount of damage taken, number of downs, damage per second, damage over time and burst damage, all of this… all of this to add in any kind of “serious” statistic, and yet you wouldn’t be able to do anything with it. You know why? because the “real” game isn’t done on spreadsheets (sorry guang, don’t kill me). For instance, if you down while casting icestorm but then rally quickly, you did more damage than all of your teammates… but you still downed more than them (theoretically). So you’d say “Ah-ha! You see? Glassy ele thinking he’s pro and all, instead he downed more than me!!! HA, take that! He’s not a team player! He did a bit more dps, yeah, but dead dps is no dps and we had to save him!” while instead he probably calculated to ress straight after the burst.
Don’t give me that look, you know that there are idiots saying this at the end of the runs. Come on, be honest.

In brief, pointless and excessively complicated for them, if they ever tried to make it properly – as in, trying to credit everything, from boons to dodges to dps to damage avoided and blabla. God save us all if they listen to you and make some crappy kitten like in nw… damage done, healing done, damage taken, downs. GG, you just proved.. nothing.
Keep in mind that they find the creation of one dungeon path “too difficult” and time consuming.
I wouldn’t trust them on anything that isn’t crafted (with love) by their artists.

In GW1 my favorite class was the necromancer

Too bad they removed it in GW2, I do hope they add the necromancer and another heavy class, so as to have 3 of each.

Good one

maha.7902:

You’re ignoring the part where the game has been out for two years and people still use tanky gear because they prefer to use it and don’t bother using berserker.

If everyone moved on to something else, you wouldn’t have PVT heroes talking about “ressing dead zerkers” all the time.

And it’s already been explained that WvW’ers make use of a bunch of the other stats, so they aren’t “just” training wheels at all, a lot of the stat combinations in this game are used all throughout the game.

I can already predict the next answer.
“Talking about pve only, wvw and pvp don’t matter, bring up some actual arguments”
