Guild Wars 2

…kicks are by vote. to “kick everyone” the one who’s instance everyone joined has to leave it.

the hammer is like…the best warrior weapon.

ok, i think we officially need a system for exchanging one dungeon currency for another, even if it’s not at an equal rate(ex. 4 AC token = 1 Arah token). alternatively the game’s rewards system could actually be finished and we can have the dungeons past CoF continue to reward a full variety of gear options.

only have a few tokens, but the time was definitely wasted. pigeonholed into SE, HotW, CoF or TA now when my guild mates are wanting to do Arah.

patch that in soon…

stop with this kitten. just stop. it-is-kitten-up. i ran Se explorable two times, over 20 hours apart, different paths. 3 silver each time…including my very first run. i am getting 1 to 3 silver no matter what. TA, my first runs EVER….1 silver. shut up, they gonna fix this kitten.

delay? might wanna change wording to be more accurate, unless you’ve ogot bad latency.

it’s easy. 5 glass cannons won’t live through the Kudu fight though, guess that’s why.

eh, i’ve been running with THIS BUILD

my gear is Vigil honor with the regular Pow/Vit/Tough stats. i have mostly rares, an exotic chest and legs from karma vendors in Orr. everything as far as armor/weapons is pow/vit/tough, my trinkets are all cleric, masterwork.

my shouts heal for 1750 each, enough to support the party usually. i have signet of healing as i feel it’s the best heal to go along with my defense, i never have to use anything besides shouts to heal. i like the shouts more than banners, since they’re more spiky heals and remove conditions. absolutely DO NOT trade shake it off for anything, ever. it removes two conditions with this build, heals, has a low cooldown AND will get the party off theirkitten right away when hit by knockbacks, knockdowns, etc.

my traits are 10/0/30/30/0. i generally run with shield master, missile deflection, leg specialist, defy pain and of course the shout traits. in the power line i take berserker’s power since i only pop the burst skill for CC purpose when there’s a large group of mobs. for pvp i use restorative strength, shrug it off and turtle’s defense.

the minor traits are all good. you got extra armor, faster revives, more power the more toughness you stack, +400 toughness when reviving, etc.

EDIT: to the poster above, don’t even go full healing. stack some toughness and power. if you’re the only support in the party where such a thing matters(dungeon/sPvP) it’s a fail anyways. with people at least watching their ownkitten as far as positioning, healing or just cleansing this build will be a great suppliment. you’re not meant to be a monk.

WvW or Dungeon.

i think they’ll be made harder over the coming months, a good deal of them(explorable and story) need to be. once people get over their trauma and play just a little bit better, it’ll sink in for alot of them.

this is not to say that i think dungeons are worthwhile, because the reward for time spent/frustration is pathetic.

just like before people will be compensated.

we tried that approach and they kept spawning. literally just never stopped after the bosses were killed.

yea, it’s bugged.

uh, i think tokens are fine. the money/exp is not functioning as described.

oh, just gonna add that another player in the party got the full money and EXP rewards that should be given on a first run. this system is not working right, and you should have tested it.

hopefully this is already being looked at.

i’ll try and keep it short and sweet. this will not be a whining post, i am not angered by the change to CoF and CM. CoF gear i do not want, CM is beneath my notice since the exotic set is lvl 70. anyway, John Peters posted a change to the way dungeon rewards work after a certain amount of time/repeat runs on the same story mode, and one bandwagon i will pile the kitten right into is the “this system is bugged and not working as described” bandwagon, because that’s exactly what’s going on.

just ran SE explorable for the first time ever(exquisitely smooth run btw) and got 6 silver and 77k exp, that kitten is broken. to whom it may concern stop facepalming at complaint threads and thinking “just move past it” and swallow your pride enough to check if your fix actually works(it doesn’t).

that’s it. that’s really all i ask, and oh boy am i not alone(kittenposters keep out please, this isn’t another channel for you to cry in vain about losing your speed run).

the old trait system was better. don’t even know what the hell they are thinking. before you just slotted certain traits INTO a reserved slot for the WEAPON, so you had hammer traits, GS traits, whatever ready to kitten rock when you equipped thekittenweapon…and there were the other more general traits. the interface was better and actually looked like someone designed it too. Anet must have secretly lost alot of game data in an accident and just pushed forward, this kitten is a huge regression from alpha stages.

go with the Strength runes.

they need to all go home, take three days off from work, get sex, get home cooked meals and chill the kitten out. then they need to come back, drop their attitudes and listen.

not to the crybaby’s about blah blah no more speed run. they need to listen to people like OP, just kitten give better rewards. holy kitten, get rid of “fine” and “masterwork” kitten that’s 5 levels below you…..give rares from explorable runs.

their knee jerk reaction to those that speed ran is kitten over everyone else now.

this cannot be the same dungeon team from guild wars. no kitten way. no way in kitten hell.

very stupid anet. actually pathetic to see you try and explain it. and wasn’t mr. peters the one talking about “knee jerk reactions” the other day? lmao.

been using this since BWE 2. it’s actually not that great once your boons are stripped/corrupted.

only signet i run with in dungeons is healing signet. for easy runs i will take out my banner for rage, since no one really goes down. otherwise i use shouts and reduced recharge or banners and reduced recharge/extended range.

only happening on my sylvari ranger, but it’s the first line of EVERY conversation if the one talking first is not me. also, Caithe, Trahearne and pale tree spirit on their very fisrt line are silent for every quest so far no matter when they start talking.

so speed training reduces the recharge on pet skills by 10%(not affecting F2 skill) and commanding voice reduces F2 skill recharge by 20%. i think that these two traits should be merged and take 20% off all pet skill cooldowns.

also, it seems like a bunch of useful pet traits are scattered in the other trait lines, maybe they should be moved into the beast mastery line?

i have not had all the problems with Rush “not hitting anything” as everyone else claims to, but one thing that is utterly consistent and completely not up for discussion is the fact that the skill does not work against large targets such as gaints. you just run(in place once you reach them) for 5 seconds and do no attack at all.

Looking For Group System Improvements

TBH, it feels like your LFG is pulled right out of EverQuest.
so here goes:
1. make everyone in LFG appear in LFG no matter what zone they’re in. right now it’s separated by zone which does not make sense, and it doesn’t work very well.
2. make it cross server(yea yea, i know what ravings are gonna follow with this one, but between the soon to come guesting and the fact that you can already run dungeons cross server in guild wars 2 there’s no downside and there need be NO discussion about this point in any way).
3. make categories for content type(events, map completion, dungeon(have specific dungeon listings).
4. the vastly overwhelming majority of GW2 players don’t even know a form of LFG tool exists, i have never seen more than six names in LFG and everyone spams chat. the tool is extremely primitive, and i would like to see improvements. i do not call for the instant group matchmaking and teleporting tool of WoW. not that i have any strong feelings about it either way, it’s just not necessary.

Gem Store and Black Lion Chest Improvements

1. You should have already been doing this, selling pet skins and haircuts in the gem store. rock do, svanir hound, basilisk, raptor, gryphon, tuna, shrimp, squid, dolphin, etc. skins for pet. people would buy this in droves.

2. chests are over abundant and worthless. tonics are meh, and since there’s nothing valuable guaranteed to be in the chest no one cares about them. my suggestion is to add an unidentified dye as a guaranteed chest item. this would give the at last some value.

Imspecial.3206:

Do you have it traited. I am using it untraited and I have never rallied ever while using it in a dungeon, even after killing 4-5+ mobs that should have rallied me (like the blossoms in TA) I understand that is is a 25% chance but either it’s broken when untraited or I am in the tiny percentile that gets trolled by RNG on things like this.

untraited. definitely works, just not always.

the active should just be a stronger regen.

Dilbon.3806:

Just copy the one in DDO. For six years that game has had the perfect LFG tool, but for some reason it has not been copied anywhere.

details please.

…it does. used it twice in AC exp not two hours ago.

can’t go wrong with either berserker’s or rampager’s gear.

so much fun. greatsword is the best for me, but i love the hammer and mace/shield as well.

i do it, but of course i have increased endurance regen and my burst skill also fills my bar back. also whirlwind attack is a free dodge(smaller “evasion” window than a regular dodge though).

kill shot hits for 9 times the auto attack damage, which you can only do three or four of in the time it takes to KS. hell, since i get 13k crits on it and 700 crits with auto attack, it’s actually much more than 9×.

evis being mediocre doesn’t deserve proper discussion.

only one i think on your list makes any sense is skull crack. it should hit multiple targets.
