Guild Wars 2

EU, late afternoon. Can’t play earlier ’cause work yo.

On topic: CM and AC also sells poorly at these times, EU at least.

Ryn.6459:

Also, a slot is like 100 gold? Doesn’t seems a big deal for veteran players to be honest.

I really dislike the stealth changes on FAQ tho.

~160 gold*

But yes, it’s peanuts. I’ve spent more on a single dye before.

What are you trying to say? I’ve got ~800 hours on necro. It’s a useless, kitten, not fun class. The only fun that could be had out of necro is getting removed now anyway.

I rerolled to ele, got ~1.1k hours on elementalist now. Everything is SO.MUCH.BETTER that it would take a miracle for me to log on to my necro ever again, outside of taking some gear from him to give it to another alt.

Reroll to a better class, i.e. any other class than necro.

Good luck!

Nobody buys Arah anymore. Sometimes I find it hard to find people to leech from me, let alone buy. Last time I did it I was able to sell 2 spots for 2.5G (so that’s for profit of the buyer) and give 2 spots for leech to guildies.

Do you understand better now, or do you require further explanation?

Oh I know what it does alright. I’m poking to get some reactions out of spoj. ^^

To be honest consume is the one im least bothered about. The biggest nerf about it is we can no longer cleanse conditions to get out of combat with it. If we have a transfer equipped the vuln is nice. And the nerf just makes you think about which heal you want to bring. I would rather they buffed the other heals but meh.

Lich and plague are just screwed up and unjustified nerfs.

It’s warhorn swift all over again, isn’kitten Transfering the vuln isn’t worth it, it’s way too short.

Oh I know what it does alright. I’m poking to get some reactions out of spoj. ^^

What about consume conditions? :>

Steven.9803:

Why not make the average elite mob in a dungeon drop at least one random green upon killing it?

That’s really the only reason why people skip dungeon mobs in game, since there really is really no reason to waste effort working for a grey item and a little XP. Maybe this doesn’t need to get added in regular dungeon mode, but at least explorable mode!

Let me know what you guys think!

Or simply have to kill X creatures / mobs / spawns in order for the boss to spawn or objective to become achievable. This is actually being done currently in many games, with various twists on it.

For example in order to get to a boss you have to open the gate, to do so, you have to fight off mobs for X amount of time and defend the person doing it, etc.

There are many ways this can be spiced up and included in dungeons.

Or make it so you can’t progress at all. You enter a dungeon and you have to kill the first mob over and over. That would be perfect and very immersive I feel.

dood.7526:

The stack of vulnerability only lasts 4 seconds.

Ah, disregard my previous post then. Oh well, so glad I rerolled to main a different class.

GL all you necros out there!

Consume conditions, get 10 stacks of vuln, transfer them with x/d #4, pretty nice swing of a fight if you ask me.

I like staff + d/d necro set up. Looking forward to see what I can do with it! Probably not much, but then again this class is kitten anyway, so I stopped caring.

You solo/duo arah for fun, not profit. I doubt it you’ll find help here, if your motivation is profit.

I got kicked out of AE pug yesterday, ‘cause I don’t have enough AP ;>

Acotje.5689:

Jerus.4350:

Stacking those things with a guard/mesmer in group is one of my pet peeves.

Or an ele.

Noone knows earth shield because it isnt mentioned in metabattle.

Absolutely nothing ever. Some exotic that sold for 18G once.

I’m well over 2k hours.

Based on what you wrote no, you shouldn’t. End-game gear is still easy to get, legendaries do not offer any advantages over ascended gear (end-game gear).

Warriors are average at best DPS-wise, they’re currently the banner kittenes for the party and might stackers. Meta composition for a dungeon run is phalanx warrior (might stacker and banner kitten), 2x staff ele, 1x thief, 1x guardian. That isn’t to say this is the only viable group, this is a meta group composition.

Good job! I’m glad you found what you were looking for mate.

I…I still do dungeon tours every day. All paths all dungeons, except Arah P3 (bugs out, low gold reward), P4 (don’t like the time gates), SE P2 (need I explain this?) and Aetherpath (reward vs time is not really worth it).

That said, on good days I will run the paths mentioned above as well, they just aren’t on my daily tour, unlike others.

Personally, I like 5 man HotW runs the most out of all dungeons. It’s not an elegant design (HP sponges), but it sort of, kind of works. If I don’t have friends online, I will solo/duo AC full / CM full / Arah P2* until people come.

Also, daily F50 hype for the elusive fractal tonic, of course.

I’ve got my dungeoneer / dungeon master a while ago. There just isn’t anything else in this game I enjoy – I like dungeons and I like my ele, so I don’t even bother playing other classes unless my party needs it and I don’t bother doing other game modes.

*fix Lupi pls

Miku – I said the same thing somewhere here on the forums before as well. The “new” autoattack and RNG element to the encounter makes this fight annoying. Snowblind elemental source (knockback), mai trin canon phase (AOE), fire shaman (burning) as well, anyone?

And yes, I understand how to avoid fire, it just doesn’t work as one would expect it to due to obvious technical issues.

Element Two – the kill time is, as everything else with necro, god awful.

Thorwyn.8469:

fracture.9754:

Miku is easily one of the best eles in GW2.

Had a good laugh on this.

And I absolutely dont get it, how you can discuss that much about this topic. Lupi is fine as he is now, it’s not that kind of a faceroll like it was before.
Solo him is still not that hard, getting a good time is something different.

Yea, because energy sigils and traiting for vigor is fun \o/ Also, get over yourself, you’re playing a video game, one that almost nobody cares about, a game mode of it that only a handful of people care about. What’s with the kitten contests in this community?

Regardless, I’d like to see Lupi fixed, exploitable things removed etc.

You can solo Lupi with necro in full zerker too, it’s just kinda exploitable, though.

Look, taking this VOD as an example;

http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/v/5010710

2 hours of constant wiping in duo (albeit they started fooling around after ~1hr 15 minutes) at Lupi. Miku is easily one of the best eles in GW2.

So no, it really isn’t as simple as you’re trying to represent it.

Or should I go find more VODs for you?

Well that’s the thing, right. Your “not-bad” players certainly seem to die a lot at such a “simple” encounter, as is current Lupi. Your statements are very reciprocal ;>

I’m not trying to dis you, your guild or your members. I’m saying “the secret” to bugged Lupi isn’t to just “not be bad”. Is there a language barrier or are you purposely trying to twist my words?

Element Two.7316:

the secret to doing it is simply not being bad.

Element Two.7316:

And I can do it on a no reflect class if you really want, Warrior or Engie?

Neither, you’re taking this personally for some reason and I’m not here to wage flame wars. This community is small enough as-is, no need to segregate further.

That’s why I removed my sig – because I do not represent my guild with my opinion. Whatevs, I still think the encounter is pretty darn difficult with the necrid bolt bug if you don’t have reflects on you. Reflects obviously trivialize this, thanks for pointing out the obvious.

To answer your question: your guild members too, Tom. At least I imagine rT as one of the top PVE guilds.

The point was consistency, hence the twitch not youtube. I am very sorry if the point was obfuscated for some reason, I didn’t think it was very complex to understand.

It’s funny, because some of the loudest here have plenty of VODs wiping again and again on twitch ;>

GJ Element, you brought THE mechanic that completely invalidates the bug we’re discussing. Noice!

EDIT: Don’t call me “HeX” guy – I am not representative of my guild. kitten I say here doesn’t necessarily reflect the opinion of entire guild or anyone in HeX as a fact. I also didn’t think that’s hard to understand.

Kewl. Now remove either ele or guard from that and you lack either reflects or DPS.

spoj.9672:

Guardian =/ necro

That said i havent had any problems with necro in duo/trio. Its only solos the short end the necro. Which sucks major balls. Because necro lupi solo is my favourite lupi solo despite it being pretty awfully slow.

I find it hard to believe you didn’t have any problems with necro duo at Lupi, sorry. You simply lack DPS to burst him through phases and you run out of dodges, reflects etc. Even with d/f ele traited for vigor, energy sigil and a guardian/mesmer, you still run out. Maybe I’m just bad, though.

Join my 5x minionmancer arah run? ;>

Cheezy.2039:

It always depends on how yolo you play, for example if you still want to go staff ele you can get kittened by RNG in phase 2 .

And since OP is talking about doing it with a party that one is no problem with any form of reflects or aegis. You really shouldn’t struggle at lupi if you are playing with an organized party

Of course 5 man party is roflstomp, you should be able to burst him through phases in seconds.

The important thing right now is why can I not solo him with my minionmancer anymore?

EDIT: Speaking of which, anyone up for 5x minionmancer arah run? We need 2 more. Let’s play the minion roulette with necrid bolt!

^- no, it’s really not as simple as that. Even top players have problems with Lupi now. If you want to argue otherwise, let me know when you can stream, kill lupi in solo/duo a few times in a row without wiping or wiping rarely.

If your reply is anything but a date, time and twitch link I don’t care, words are meaningless, everyone can talk kitten. Put your money where your mouth is. Surely you’re not one of the “bad” players, are you?

EDIT: With meaningful kill times, of course.

I’m actively checking on this today. Thank you for your continued patience.

Any word from them Gaile? Thanks again for all this!

No. Gemstore update tomorrow though!

Tn-tn-tn-another gemstore update bites the dust!

Stop thinking, stop playing, just give anet some money. <3

No fix yet, there is another gemstore update today, though. Aren’t you thankful?

Of course it isn’t fixed yet. It’s only been a few weeks and this is dungeons after all. Expect a fix somewhere in 2020-2028.

I wouldn’t be as optimistic. 2036 seems like a more reasonable time

Well yea, I mean you have to understand they’re busy with adding new finishers, outfits and minis to the store. Surely we can’t let something meaningless like dungeon bugs in the way of that!

Of course it isn’t fixed yet. It’s only been a few weeks and this is dungeons after all. Expect a fix somewhere in 2020-2028.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Having reread the thread, I see a few different things:

• Some players, like me, only rarely see extreme instances of offensive behavior.
• Some players don’t see issues at all.
• Some feel they see them daily and have modified their game experiences to avoid such instances.
• Some say “Buck up and ignore it.”
• Others say, “I have a god-given right to offend you, and you have no right to complain.”

End of the day, why don’t we let the professionals decide? Why don’t each of you who see offensive chat report it and let the moderation team make a decision about the overall offensiveness of a word or phrase in the context of the game. The team is not draconian, they understand the difference between a word spoken in the heat of the moment and a pattern of abusive language. Report and forget and trust that things will be taken care of in the best and more fair manner possible.

Your non-draconian team of professionals decided me calling a person ignorant once was penalty worthy.

Wtf.. Fix that joke

Lots of bugs in this last patch. I guess that’s one more.

At least this one seems to be easier to fix. Track people that had access to beta and if they unlocked skins rollback account and ban them for exploiting. This is not a HoM bug where (by mistake) i unlocked it myself, they did it on purpose and deserve to be punished for being “loyal” in this case. Loyal exploit deservers a loyal ban

Were the unlocks rerolled? If not, I so wish I’d grab those. I’d really like some of those skins

While there are things I hate about the NPE (as well as things I love about it), I don’t believe you. I’m certain your friend is an imaginary one and you wanted to prove a point here that’s been building some hate against the game in you.

I sure hope Blain’s running this hype train because in it’s words.

“Don’t ask me silly questions
I won’t play silly games
I’m just a simple choo choo train
And I’ll always be the same”

This post is so good, yet nearly nobody will get it. Oh, I made myself sad now.
