Portals and Stealth drop flag.
Can’t portal while carrying the flag? Have the entire party portal to the flag with clones out, dash away in the confusion.
Mesmer still OP

Well, my full glass thief did spend a good chunk of time on the floor, but I had fun with it solo. Shortbow thief is pretty fun, poison fields are your friends
. I think it would be more of a pain on a class without such a solid ranged weapon.
The last boss in the LS was the one that I had an issue with. It needs a serious bump up in difficulty. When a full zerk thief can facetank it (signet of malice + pistol whip, watch out for marks on the ground), it’s a bit too easy IMO ;-)
But then, eh. In two weeks, hardly anyone will ever fight it again, so it’s probably not worth re-tuning it.
Thank you dlonie for your efforts to keep this thread on topic and focused.
I’m trying, despite certain individuals’ constant need to nitpick semantics!
Now I don’t want to derail this by drawing more comparisons between developers of entirely different games but I just wanted to point out how powerful those sorts of developer-community interactions can be.
Just wanted to point out that discussions like these are wonderful and 100% on topic here They show the state of the industry, and provide concrete examples of how ArenaNet could improve communications with their players. Thanks for sharing!
I used to argue with this guy on a daily basis, he is literally the person I despise the most on the internet. One day, I gave up and never went back to the “general sub forum”
ikr? 95% of the kitten he posts is just to argue semantics, or point out the obvious in a way that will derail the topic. At least most of the regulars seem to know to not take his bait.
We’re talking about a Die Hard ANet brown-noser here, all he does is try to poke holes in any complaints anyone ever has about what they are doing, he gets some sick satisfaction in it. That’s why I couldn’t help but point out his use of “everybody” after he pulled the semantics card earlier in the thread, sorry for that but I really couldn’t help but point it out. The guy is full of himself.
No worries, he knows how to push people’s buttons, and its clear that its reason he’s here. Honestly, when I see 2+ posts of his within 5 posts, I just stop reading. You know it’s just going to be bickering and nitpicking from that guy.
ANet knows what we’re asking. I take the silence to mean that they have no good answer for us. Lets be honest, we all know that to be true at this point. That thread was more or less a last chance to talk and say we’re wrong. It’s on them, do they take this opportunity or do they confirm our beliefs?
Yep. And we’ve gotten what does appear to be a few attempts at misdirecting the thread from Gaile, and when we stuck to the issue, the red posts stopped. It’s like we “toxic” folks care more about the health of the game than they do :-/
Am I the only one who misses Videogamer Mike ?
I do! In fact, my rank in the Forum Aggressor Guild is VideogamerMike because I miss the guy so much
Oh, and this guy is a champ, too.

It was really frustrating on my necro. I didnt have the mobility or the sustain to get close to him each time he leaped. And i couldnt use life blast because its slow and it always bugged and vanished. I guess it was something to do with the bosses hitbox while it was moving.
Ugh, necro would be a pain there. I ended up blasting poison and cluster bombs on her most of the time, then 2 pistol whips to clear a tendril when they popped. It seemed like once a tendril is killed she’d move into the next phase, but it may have just been lucky timing.
I’m really liking my thief these days
I was honestly surprised I managed to make it through without wiping. I downed so many times to those bs rush ticks that i was on red penalty with less than 1k hp and no lifeforce for pretty much half the fight. Adds were perfect rally bots at least. Frantically dodging tendrils, mini teras and aoes waiting for my heal to come back for half the fight was a little bit entertaining i guess. xD
Heh, I’m not sure it’d be possible to wipe there, those NPCs are OP healers xD
You need to be more specific dlonie. Don’t say will we ever see the content we need to play updated or expanded. Because no one is going to know what you need to play.
That post was rather terse, I agree. I’ve just written out the long version (see the link I put above) so many times that I’m a bit tired of writing, as I’m sure anyone following the thread is tired of reading. The link I mentioned will point to a more detailed version of the post that is quite a bit more specific about content.
I’ll try to provide better references during future bouts of brevity
People keep talking about significant updates. I think the updates, at least recently, have been significant. They’re significant to me. The updates you want to play probably wouldn’t be.
So in your request, instead of bolding a line with no detail, add the detail in the line.
This is clearer in the longer, earlier post, too — if anyone is confused and missed it (I know you saw it, Vayne!).
In a nutshell, the goal of releasing content similar to an expansion through the living story doesn’t seem to be quite met in these last two years when considering similar games, including GW1. Are things delayed, or is this the pace and variety of new content that we can expect?
Then again, ever is a very long time, so maybe you want to also put it in terms of six months or a year. I mean suppose you will see that content in five years. Anet could say yes, and they’d be within their rights to.
You need to be very specific.
Thanks for the feedback, Vayne! You are correct, “ever” was a terribly inaccurate word. I assumed it wouldn’t be taken literally, which was an error on my part. To be clear, yes, an idea of what’s coming in the next year is what I had in mind.
Which doesn’t mean you’ll get an answer.
Oh, believe me
I know.
A few days ago a friend of mine decided he wanted some Arah armour skins and he needed someone to guide him trough that dungeon. So there I was, logging in again
Heh, that would bring me back, too. I’m usually the guy nagging people with PMs on here and enjin to log in and run Arah…There’re still a few on my friend list that like the game, but we all log on so sporadically that its hard to sync up.
I thought it was a nice break from the usual fights, and there was plenty of uninterrupted melee at the second boss He really needs a bump up in difficulty.
But for the first one, I probably enjoyed it more because I was on my thief, and shortbow thief is pretty fun. If I’d been on my warrior or something I’d probably have liked it less.

Not a mushroom fan, but otherwise that sounds AMAZING
Hey Gaile, is there any other discussion that you’d find helpful on this topic? I’d like to make sure that our concerns on this issue are understood and as clear as they can be.
Please understand that I’m not demanding or expecting anything, but out of curiosity, will our concerns with the silence policy be communicated to those who have control over the decision? Can you keep us in the loop on your team’s handling of this concern? Again, no expectations, but it would go a long way for us to know whether our efforts here are wasted or not.
Edited to add: I feel like I’m harassing you on this, but I (and I’m sure, most other posters here) really want to work with you and your team to see if we can fix some of these problems facing us. We both want the same thing: A better GW2 with a healthy ANet/player relationship, and a fan base that is absolutely pumped about playing the game
