I would just like to post and say… thank you, this build has totally been what I was looking for in WvW! It gives me some actual game against the Thieves and Mesmers that are everywhere.
I am not sure which build I like more at this point and I will need lots of practice either way, the 0/30/10/0/30 or the 10/20/20/0/20 build.
The hackers have gone down in number MASSIVELY since launch. I actually do not remember the last time I saw someone actually hacking in WvW, I think it was a guard with a telehack like 2 months ago.
So its starts just when TESO headstart begins, what a coincidence…………….. NOT. Just pathetic.
TESO is awful. Won’t matter anyways.
You can tell the people who didnt try the TESO beta cause they are still excited for the game.
If they want WvW to actually have a modicum of competition they need to start merging the lower tier servers in WvW. They have shown they can do this already with EotM and its the logical choice given that now EotM is in place to handle players in the Q who want to WvW. I tihnk we will be seeing some big changes before this season starts.
Also, this is the most hateful and toxic subforum on these extremely toxic and hateful forums. It amazes me some of you still play this game for all the QQ you do here.

This has been obvious for a long time and there were many speculation threads right at the start when you first see both characters. I think this shows just how poorly most people can make inferences in stories, no wonder everyone hates the LS, you had to use your brain AND it was broken up by months of time.
Maybe they should just do a story that is super easy to understand for the ’merican reality TV crowd.
Escape from Lion's Arch - Trailer discussion
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: displacedTitan.6897
A whole thread about “Escape from LA” and no Snake Pliskin reference?
SCARLET HAS THE WORLD CODE!
At what point then is it acceptable to attribute failure to an individuals inability to play the game and learn?
I feel like the carebears who advocate for people to be nice all the time and just accept other peoples constant failure are just enablers, letting people tell themselves that it isnt actually their fault and the players telling them otherwise are just jerks. This game needs MORE events like this, not less.
Anecdotally, I had a player on my platform that refused to kite Warden II. No matter how much we asked him to kite, explained it to him and tried to be nice, he would respond with “kitten you, dont tell me how to play!”. Are we supposed to just say, oh ok special snowflake, we understand. This must be our fault??
I think the root of all the complaints is that people dont like relying on others that they dont know. The problem with that way of thinking is that these are OPEN WORLD events and are by definition OPEN to ANYONE. Do I think there should be some 25-man style uber dungeon (raid) content? Yes. Do I think they should stop doing these events? No not at all, they are unique in their own way.
Also to the complaints about overflows failing and having to wait, I have tried this event maybe 6 or 7 times and succeeded on two of them. I have NEVER been in the main server instance and have never waited longer than 15 minutes before the hour. I think the real problem may be YOU in most of these cases. Stop being so negative and try to get the general population up to snuff.
Evidence? Forums indicate lots of complaining…
Forums are far far far from the majority.
This is bunk, plain and simple, and your mind set seems to be the same one that Arena Net has.
Their argument of “Well we see a bunch of people doing the content so that means the forums are in the minority” means absolutely nothing. Do you know why people are doing this content? Because Anet is dangling a carrot on a stick in front of people who chase after it for those Achievement Points, which also dangle carrots in the forums of reward chests, and the meta rewards.
Take away the achievements, leave only the content in it’s place, and we’ll see how many people are still doing this content after the first day, when they’ve finished the storyline to it. You know what, I’ll just spoil the answer: It will be none. No one will be doing this content.
The forums are where Anet should be paying the most attention, as these things were designed with the idea of us having a back and forth with the developers to ensure the game became something we want to play.
Now mind you, I’m not talking about people who say “My class is borked, FIX IT!”, that information should be taken with a grain of salt. But when you have an entire forum that’s almost 90% complaints and dislike for this update, and about 10% of blind loving, there’s a problem. When this is a consistent issue, as it has been since Queen’s Jubiliee, arguably the last enjoyable LS update, there’s a major issue at hand.
But since you, and Anet themselves, have said that they believe the forums are in the minority, and that their numbers say people are doing this content (because again: The carrot on a stick), there’s essentially no back and forth with the developers. Compare discussions here to those on the Blizzard Forums, or hell, even the Turbine or Square Enix Forums, where the Developers take feed back, have exchanges with their forum goers, and better the game from it, and it’s no wonder people are getting fed up.
Arena Net does not listen to us. They hear only what they want to hear, and ignore what they need to hear, and GW2 is starting to pay for it. You can cry until your throat’s horse that the game is fine, the cotnent is amazing, and we’re all just whiners. But when January of 2015 rolls around, and this game is a ghost town because it’s obvious Anet would rather shove their own idea of content down our throat and continue to lock the fancy stuff behind the Gem Stores, you’ll only have yourself, and Anet, to blame.

Just gonna throw that out there. Posters are probably LESS than 1% of the playerbase since a lot of people dont even check the forums AT ALL.
I remember when Teq was also impossible. People get on the forums after EVERY. SINGLE. PATCH. and claim its impossible. Seriously just wait a week until everyone learns the encounter.
I like how there are complaints about waiting for the boss but yet so many people seem to be willing to wait that you have to do it. Tell me again how this means the content is bad?
Literally thousands of people willing to wait to try again and yet it sucks? Where is the logic in that?
So its a mindless zerg fest that is too complicated and confusing? I gotta say, it still amuses me that people make these posts day one about how its all too hard. Give it a week or two and it will be on farm status.
I think what I dont like about it the most is that its totally different from the rest of the siphon abilities. All of the rest reward you for getting as MANY hits as possible in and push you toward minions + dagger + WH which is fine and makes for a fun siphon build, they added this as if you wanted something more than the siphon you already had in BF. Which would be all well and good if siphons werent just plain BETTER with minions, the skill should have been scrapped entirely TBH but since we have this pile now the least they could do is revert it to something usable.
Traveler and never look back.
Yep, got this one without much of a hassle (JPs I had to go out of my way for)
Seriously, I kinda expected this.
Well done to Anet for Duping people into spending gems to stack on servers, and getting people to put in all that effort to win that season “reward”.Once bitten, twice shy?
Oh right how they “duped” people into transferring…
…Nope thats just your tinfoil hat. ANet devs said FLAT OUT that you shouldnt transfer and bandwagon to the top servers for this.
The people complaining need to engage their critical thinking skills a bit more. WE (myself included) complain about everything in this game. No one has a good suggestion for a reward that wouldnt cause some part of the playerbase to revolt on these forums. Until everyone stops with the sky is falling crap everytime something happens ANet will not change what they do. Learn to let other people have their cake and eat it and then you can have some of your own.
Guildwars stated that they want to be different from all the other mmorpgs. Instead of rewarding lucrative rewards, they reward you with a swift kick to the face. IT’S THEIR WAY OF THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX!
As a 9 year Guild Wars veteran, I think it’s almost time for me to hangup the old cape; oh wait that’s right, we don’t even get capes in gw2…
Remind me again of the amazing rewards you got in GW1????
Take those rose colored glasses off please. How bout those amazing rewards in MMOs where you gotta roll for loot, bet that was a fun 3 hour raid to get nothing.
This community is the reason the reward is “bad”. There was literally nothing they could have given that would not have caused the forums to explode in crying.
Had they given a unique skin the PvE people would complain that they didnt get it. The people who got it would complain it wasnt cool enough or they couldnt use it on whatever they wanted, etc, etc.
Had they given ascended gear anyone who had to “farm so hard” for theirs would complain.
You reap what you sow.
Had they given 100 of each people would be up in arms about how they should have just been the finished products and how it was costing us money. ANet really can never win on these forums.
1 champion gives better rewards than this lol
You should probably read the chest reward again.
Those are finished products, not 1 dust etc.
So its 100 dusts, 100 dragonite and 100 fragments and some obsidian shards.
One of each refined is not as good as 100 of each raw because you lose the crafting exp value of the materials (which you’ll need for ascended armor no doubt.)
It saves you 30 thermo reagents and 6 obsidian shards. Not a bad deal in my mind.
To be fair to subject 6, how did you think they got to number 7 :P
How did they not put this in the patch notes. Such a good QoL update.
The star and ingot are actually a pretty good reward considering all you have to do is run the fractals normally. How much did you guys want for the rewards? This is so much better than a silly back item.
I love how the high level fractal players like to complain that they are losing prestige as if anyone knew them or how high they had gotten. NEWSFLASH – you still got there and all the “prestige” you had still exists in the same form as before.
Explain what has changed for you now? You have to run some new content with mistlock instability instead of grinding the same thing over and over? YOU STILL GOT TO 81, GRATZ TO YOU.

Nice to know I am not the only one doing this!
Cons:
Fractal weapon at level 10?
why not selling them for 1 silver in lions arch?It just makes the only rare NON gold/gem related weapon from the most rare to the most common.
Not to mention you are AGAIN ruining all progression of dedicated fractal players….
Can i have precursors and Black Lion skins with the same % at fotm 10?
-.-Please consider leaving current droprates from lvl 20 and introducing 4X1 mystic forge recipe….
Its not fair Handling rare skins to everyone…..
Or make them tradable…at least we get some compensation for playing high level fractals instead of Champ trains/cof1…..
I know you are a little slow but the fractal skins ALWAYS dropped in 10+, the % chance is just super low. You might actually ALREADY have the same chance to get a precursor as to get a fractal wep in level 10. You need to learn how to read properly.
Hopefully you actually have to play the game to get the precursor, and not just grind T6 Mats/Gamble Mystic Forge.
I don’t know – 1000 Events, X Total kills with the weapon Y, something, just not grind.
I’m not saying I don’t want to work for it, but I just don’t want to mindlessly farm.
Pssst, both of your new options are also massive grinds. What is the difference between killing mobs for mats and just killing more mobs? Hint: nothing.
Maybe this is a stupid question but is Sigil of Accuracy effected by deathly perceptions crit chance increase?
There are some cool new events to farm and a really easy meta. The cinematic is good, we got some cool skins and there are a couple interesting champ mobs and instances to farm. Why do you guys always QQ about everything?
Better yet, what do you think would make “A worthwhile LS.”
I like it a lot, you cant really run through alone but with all the people constantly coming in its easy to wait the minute or so for a pick up group and then forging ahead.
To have them be one dimensional Xenophobes would in fact be WORSE writing. No group can be that one-dimensional in all dealings.
If any of you honestly believe they made that tower with no plan to have us enter it you need to go back to first grade where they teach you some basic critical thinking skills.
Didnt we just have the Aetherpath that everyone complained about being to hard??
These forums are filled with people who dont know what they want and then come to rage about it.
Open world content will always be a zerg, how many people constitute a zerg anyway? 20? 30?
The next patch will probably inside the tower since thats clearly where the plot is going. Also, give it a few days and the majority of the zerg will have moved on.
Good thing this skill has been out in the wild for so long that you can declare it totally broken. You need to learn how balance works, kneejerk reactions are NOT the way things get balanced.
The halloween zone is empty at primetime on SoS, its a terrible terrible zone. Those bosses dont scale at all for less than a full map zerg.
So dont grind for the bag???? Is it that hard to understand?
The skins are really bad compared to last year, not to mention much less of them.
How is less, more fun?
They removed content like the MOBA-sPvP map, lack of CC nodes around the world (which is a joke considering the high price of cobs), Titles, and actual hard content (dumbed down clock tower that you can no longer play with friends), removed the rare drop skins from the bosses in the labrynthe, etc.
The achievement grind last year wasn’t too bad, but at least it had some notable ones like completing the clock tower.
The clocktower difficulty is unchanged, how is that dumbed down? Last year was grindy as hell with the pumpkins and doors and eating candy corn. Nothing changed, they added some new story with the bloody prince. QQ more pls.
Zhaitaffy vendor never left. Hes standing by the Laurel vendor in LA.
Dark Souls is an awful example of what non frustrating content looks like. That game is full of cheap shots and on-purpose annoying enemy placement. Next you are going to tell me you think “I Wanna Be The Guy” is totally fair and thats how you like games.
Blah, I cant get passed of the first ooze room So. another skip from me to this. See you on 18th
Giving up day 1? C’mon man, keep at it!
I would like to request an invite as well. MUST SLAY MONSTERS!!
In a month people will have this on farm status…. its like no one pays attention to the pattern that happens with every update.
Oh look its the same thread that always gets put up on day one of any new content…. yawn.
Everytime they change something or add something new or harder people say its impossible for the first week, hard the second week and by a month in its on farm status and people cry for more.
How do the OPs of these posts not see the pattern? Go back and read ANY of the living story update forums of the past and laugh.
and ANet women! Its only 7:14 am local time for them, gonna be around 1ish when they launch, I think thats typical for them?
No they don’t?
I’m fairly certain they drop as prefix-boxes which allow you to pick any weapon type of that prefix stats.
This is how dropped Ascended weapons work. You dont get to choose the stat combo, just the type.
In my guild it looks like this:
Need more people in wvw!
>Sure, gimme a sec.Lets form up for some tpvp!
>Sure, why notLets do a dungeon!
>Ok, which one?Anyone want to run a fractal?
>Tim wanted to go, I’m up for it too.Ok guys ready for the guild mission tonight?
>90% of guildies that are on join.Does anyone want to anything?
>What you have in mind?/ Piken Square EU – [ANGL] guild.
Character name Chayse Bones if you want an invitation.I myself managed to do almost all achies from SAB1+2+Tribulation mode and still join my guild for this and that.
A pic to cheer you up
This is exactly what my guild looks like as well. I think the OP just needs some new friends.
To all those saying they need to sit down and do some polish updates, what do you think September is? New crafting to 500 AND new crafted exotic stats, more reward updates for doing ALL THE CONTENT IN THE GAME (JPs, Minidungeons, Bosses, etc.). Now in the 2nd half they are introducing the LFG tool and updating both WvW and World Bosses, which is what people were crying about before this recent cryfest.
It was too easy! Tribulation Mode complete!
in Super Adventure Box: Back to School
Posted by: displacedTitan.6897
I for one wasnt interest in SAB at all but I knew what Tribulation mode was. They didnt hide this for a single second that it was not for everyone. Queens Gauntlet was really really easy as well.
Still, grinding 400~500 by crafting exotics is an error people are making by their own ignorance, there’s quite a bit you can get via refinement which is artificially free, in terms of gold, if you mine a bit and don’t rush it.
Ok…you have to craft exotics/ refine T6 to get from 400 to 450= 50g +/- then you can very long time refine ascended mats to 470 = gold free but way tooooo long.
And from 470 to 500 you have to craft exotics again = at least another 50g (becouse it gives lower exp then in beginig :-) )
It is still to much gold farming. Or materials grinding.Basically you dont want anything to change. You complain about doing it slowly and for much cheaper by refinement and you complain about doing it fast costing too much. EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN TERMS OF TIME VS MONEY. If you are really worried about time commitments then dont play video games, go do something productive.
No matter i will lvl my weaponsmith in week or in month i will still have spend 150g for it or farm material of that price. And it is too much for profession no matter time.
See now you are just trolling. Prices will go back down and in a few months it will probably cost 1/3rd of what it does now. Stop being a chicken little about how bad it is now. You can pay big and get it now or wait and pay much less later. THE SAME IS TRUE OF ALMOST EVERYTHING.
