Guild Wars 2

Many engineer players would like to see more weapon variety for the engineer so I decided to make a post where we can post our ideas and to lighten the mood since the engineer isnt in the best spot right now. (This has probably already been done before but i couldnt find anything). Personally I would like to see a crossbow on the enginer (possibly a kit or a new weapon? Sniper kit?). It could be all mechanical and steampunk with possibly a retractable bayonet (Dragon age anyone?). It could be slow firing similar to that of a ballista in wvw and could have around 1400 or 1500 range. Just an idea i had that i would like to share, anyone else have some cool ideas?

This is what we want our engineers to look like!

I did the same thing as some of the other posters did, i got the HotM reward instead of th LA one. If i had known you could only pick one i would have picked the one in LA. The pvp one isnt tranmutable and i really wanted to put the toymaker bag skin on my guild assasin backpack and now i cant… Really should warn about this choice. I figured it was one pvp and one pve. I was already in the mists when i logged so i just grabbed the mist one first. (I very rarely do spvp so it is worthless to me)

roaming wvw is what I do most of the time, I’m pretty unbeatable in 1v1 and I take out sentries and supply camps by myself all the time.
try taking a look here:

Thanks Maskaganda, looks pretty solid. Ill give the build a try

Okay, so like alot of my fellow engineers out there im looking for a new build. Any suggestions? I want a build that can do okay damage and is fairly survivable. (Survivability being more important than damage. Im currently running a rifle crits build and even with all the damage it puts out most classes can still survive long enough to kill me. I would like to be able to solo roam in wvw, killing dolyaks and sentries without much trouble and to be able to atleast survive a 1v1. The only build i have found that i actually like is a p/s build that uses the flamethrower and elixers. This works well in pve but im a wvw kind of person, the flamethrower really cant do much in that area… So, feel free to link builds, and thanks for taking the time to read this post.

No he wasnt, he was just a random pug. The leader opened it

Well apparently new patch has made it where if a party member logs out/and or switches classes in a dungeon it kicks everyone out and resets. Just happened to me on the last path 2 AC explore boss. One of out guys logged out and we were kicked and the dungeon reset completly. Im getting really sick of this stuff….

I agree they should only be obtained through character creation and transmutation but the starter backpack for the engineer cant be obtained through transmutation. Its the only back armor in the game that looks similar. They should add a few white and blue back armors so it would be transmutable too. Or atleast have a vendor or something where you can trade one of the starter items for another… The backpack is the only starter gear I know of that isnt transmutable

I just went back to take a screen shot of the part chat but it is gone since the player left the party. Im thinking it was a hack now more than it was an exploit

Okay not really sure if this is the right place for this but today I was in the dark room part of the jumping puzzle in wvw when a couple of Tarnished Coast playesr started attacking me. I tried to get away from them by dropping my torches and hiding. This worked but then one of the invaders somehow sent me a party invite. The players name on the party icon said Tarnished Coast Invader. Curios i accepted the invite. Sure enough i was in the pary with an invader. They then were able to kill me within a matter of seconds by using the blue party member dots on the minimap to find me. After that they were able to use party chat to talk to me and were able to whisper me. Im not sure if this was a hack or a possible exploit. The whole event was kinda suprising. I asked in map chat if anyone had ever heard of this kinda thing and know one knew of anyway it could be done. Like i said before the players name showed up as Tarnished coast Invader in the party ui but in the party chat and the whispers the players name was Hayden. As far as i can tell this was a hack or an exploit. Not really sure what else to do but post it and hope it gets fixed.
