spot on

been doing this to level alts while watching a movie, large/multiple monitor helps

So why bother “playing” the game if you have no interesst in playing it?

Most of the players have played the lore already with multiple characters but they still want to level characters for WvW for instance. You have a several option for this:

1. Do the quests, story missions, hearts 20th time again. (longest way with minimal income)

2. Craft the toon to lvl 80 that would cost you now way over 100G (shortest but most expensive way)

3. Do Queensdale champ farm while watching TV (medium long with large income while u receive kittenloads of extra skillpoint and karma and AP)

Yes this might be true for PvE in Gw1 but before PvE only skills were introduced this picture was a little bit more wider even in Pve. Though Gw1 was not just PvE. It had an awesome PvP as well.

But my suggestion was about Gw2 and the cross profession utilities and not about GW1 PvE content….

Hi there,

I know most probably this was already discussed on forums but i might missed it, or cant find it, so why not…

I always thought GW1 was a special, unique game with awesome build diversity. I loved the cross profession availability that gave you the chance to get the best out your toon. You had the chance to actually create a new build on your own, not like in GW2 where there are more or less 2-3 standard / efficient build per profession. Of course there are some trait differences but more or less they are pretty much the same as the base build. These builds only changes if theres a big nerf or buff for a profession.

That close our creativity into a cage and that makes us to use the standard if we want to be succesful. I remeber how much i loved playing in GW1 and spent hours to create a new build counting. I think cross profession skills should be added into the game.

I am thinking about the utilities mostly but if you have a suggestion to weapon skills too, just share it here. At first i would think about the 3 utility skill (healing skill and elites are excluded in first round). Of course revising first the utility skills and making few of them profession bound is essential.

Also adding few new elites AND making few elites (for example Battle Standard, Spirit of Nature, Dagger Storm, Lich Form) profession bound would solve the OP profession + elite combo.

Of course this would need a tons of work and even more balancing but i do think it would be a good addition into the game and could give us more option to personalize our build.

What do you think?

Not like any ANET will read or comment it. They know about every single issue about ranger since day one. Their only solution was to break ranger even more down with their “fixes”. Ranger was my first character and still is my most played character but now it is degraded to run world events because it has 100% map completition. Where situation can be harder, i bring my W.

Burnfall, back then when ANET thought we are OP. (wtflol) Almost all bots were rangers, they kept running together naked with bear on their side. Forstgorge looked funny with 10+ naked ranger running around and kill everything in sight.

Thats basically the shour Warrior build as i see.

Personally i like to trigger balaced stance myself so i either use spiked armor, defy pain or merciless hammer depends on the number of enemies, or the roaming style.

Fear me is a great trolling shout of course (love to use it fearing down pug zrg from the edge) but has a long CD, organised groups has stability running on them, and also there are far more useful warrior utilities than that. Thats why i only use 2 shouts + Balanced Stance.

Also, as i see you are using warhorn on the 2nd weapon set. Then drop Shrug it off and use Quick Breathing. This way you can not just dropping 2 condition but while using warhorn skills (4&5) u are turning them into a boon what is a great addition and also reduce the recharging of your most used blast.

Zanshin.5379:

You chose to do only WvW. You chose to not be able to get ascended gear.
Want it? Get out of WvW and go craft like everybody else.
We spend hundreds of gold to craft our stuff, why shouldn’t you?

Such a bad attitude. " If i died grinding i hope others will have to do that too"

Let me state. I keep myself a WvW player but sometimes i enjoy other parts of the game like World Bosses and Fractals. I was able to craft my ascended armor set because i dont have anything against watching some tooltips and grinding some gold.

BUT there are peoples who have bought this game for WvW and they got PROMISED that this is not a grinding game. ANET said you don’t have to grind to get acces to the best armor, weapon set in game. I am not talking about the cosmetics, i am talking about the armor/weapon stats. Currently if you dont have like 500 G and willing to craft hours/days/weeks depends on the the money you have and the armor sets your want, You DON’T have acces to the best armors/weapons even few accesories just from WvW.

In WvW if you are not karma training or not getting lucky with drops you earn a minimal gold but getting badges. What can you use them to? Buying exotic set for like 1200 badges that drops after average 1 badge after every 4-6 kill. getting 5-8k kills takes a week even for a pro roamer guild. A PVE grinder can make money for an exo set in 2 hours max.

The OP is not asking for free precursors or hunderds of golds free gold etc… He is just refuse to run circles in Frost or Queens for 6 hours. But plays the other part of the game for the same amount of time.

Why is he rewarded less? Why doesn’t he have acces to something that others can get with a champ train what a half kittened can do as well?

Coldtart.4785:

Given that I’m usually in that smaller group that wipes a larger pug zerg I can tell you that aoe killzones are a massive part of what gets the job done.

You’re forgetting that attacks aren’t the only aoes in this game. There are ways to get around 1k heal per second using only aoe heals. If every member of an 80 man zerg was using this kind of heal, all 80 players would be getting 80k heals per second. On top of this they would all have retaliation being reapplied much more rapidly than you could remove it so any aoe attacker would suffer over 20k damage per hit that they cannot do a single thing about.

Your suggestions would turn numbers into an absolutely insurmountable advantage. There would be no possible strategy to beat such a zerg that doesn’t require similar numbers on your own side.

+1 to this.

Imagine a small organized group with some ele backliners that drop meteor shower on a zerg with not aoe capped retaliation. Not just the ele would die instantly in a second but the not aoe capped water fields, shouts, condi removal would negate every dmg that the smaller group does.

Also, if you love the skillag in SM 3 way fight imagine it with no aoe cap.

I have 14 gate counted while i attacked and downed like 100-150 gates (100-0%) in the past 3-4 days. It is working obviously not as it is intended.

I got credit for autoattacking – full dps – icebow/FGS attack – and ramming. Also i got nothing for them as well.

It should be fixed damage instead of percentage. For example if you made 3-4k dmf to the gate with weapons you should have get credit.

It is really out of hand at the moment. Yesterday in SM i was running around for 10 minute in lords room while trying to drop my skills. My earthshaker not even worked once. My shouts never triggered. Only thing i was able to use: my autoattack.

Seriously WTF. If they cant handle the content they build why the hell they make places where 200 ppl fight in a small room. Even a freakin monkey that sit before the PC can spam autoattack and run around in SM lord run while praying the healing signet to keep him alive a little bit longer. :/

I hope 1! non french / german server. I know its nearly impossible to get rid both of them but at least 1 Gandara like server i pray for.

I was in the same situation like the OP and then i forced myself to do some world events.
I got the 500 dragonite ore in 2 days doing world event for 2 hours/day. So alltogether 4 hour net me 500+ dragonite ore easily.

I don’t plan to craft ascended weapon just yet. I will first wait for the legendary precursor token crafting recipe and just then i will decided what to do with my refined materials.

Kodash and Jade Sea meet Omegas. Omegas meet Kodash and Jade Sea. <3

Aaaaand all sing. Oooomegaaaas are spinning around, spinning around, spinning around!

My guildmate is at 176 luck atm and he is not a hardcore player. I am pretty sure there are some maniac out there who already hit the 300. It will take me forever with my casual playstyle (67%) unless they start to give out 1000-2000 luck guaranteed formula from rares and exos.

Dark Lord Killer.9473:

And today is the perfect example why country-servers are OP. GG German holidays.

Its not the german holiday why we loose.

Though we wtfpwned MS every single primetime evening we never stood a chance to win this week.

The reason is simple: we dont have night / morning coverage while they do have. Once AG somehow gets a decent coverage will grow up to the bigger ( not biggest) servers.

OchrisO.8450:

all i can say is EB epic farm tonight <3

so NP are the new Kiss of Ag?hehe congrats.

Last time i saw XxX maybe 3 days ago, they were running back to keep and team up with 30-40 PUG before they turned to face… hehe congrats

so that makes XxX to the KISS of UW?

You cant run always guild events. Farming sometimes come handy. :P

Once you get to know how Slick and Sparky works, it becomes easy. Kill Sparki first then just lure ooze around the map while others taking down Slick. If you have a group that is actually take time to coordinate the movements and also able to recognize the ooze luring sign you are easily done. Sure first time with an uncordinated group it seems hard. But this dungeon way is just going to be just like the others. People will learn it eventually and beat it extremely fast.

I dont think this dungeon is too hard. I am not running dungeons frequevently but done it with a random PUG group including a player with like 700 AP point. We havent been fantastic, it took while to find out for each boss what to do, how to do, but we managed to finish it. It was long, and it was needed longer discussions skillwise for Slick and Sparkie but once we managed to find out what to do, it became easy.

Seriously the hidden room in world 2 zone3 (12th on dulfy video) is a graphical non sense. Congratulation the person who found it that it would be a great idea to make snowstorm with white background + vanishing WHITE clouds + fog at the same place. I have done every single jumping puzzle in this game but here i ve lost all my 50 life just because cant see kitten where to jump. Even on gamma on lowest and totally dark room…

They really should have added tokens/kill. 20-30 token for weapon. 40-50 for mini Teq. But they love RNG.

Rather they added added RNG coffers for ascended items they should have given out a Token for each kill you make on Teq. For example 20-30 Token for 1 ascended weapon. 50-60 Token for a mini Teq. That would net a decent amount of people on Teq for each server. Peaple are bored with RNG.

I’m reading the forums.

But why should i judge differently based on other players opinion.
Also 80% of the players actually coming to a forum to open a thread is moaning about Teq.

What do you think about a LFG option where you can gather 100+ people for a raid in an overflow with JOIN IN option?

That would solve a lot ppl problem with constant overflows also would replace the need of creating mass guilds to take down Teq….

Commanders could just just join together and can organize organize not random ppl.

Was it east or west? Because on east AFK players standing on the platform triggers the mobs and scale up the event to Champions. I knows it BS but there are always ppl who AFK.

I would say mass organization, and requieres more effort to make. Remember not just mass guilds made this.

Also these mass guild were maid only for the raid. They dont have requirement to represent all the time. In case i was talkin with a few guildleader leading mass guild here in EU and US and they said they want you to stay in your main guild and only join on raids. I wouldnt even consider them as a guild rather they are just are a higher level to organize raids.

I bet if there would be LFG option for raids (to get 100+ ppl into 1 “league”) kitten lot Teq beat would happen in days. Because ppl would be able toorganize raids in overflows without taking them into a guild.

Why? Because you want to complete the event. If a server has capacity limit (and it has) if theres a new content you can expect it being popular / camped / guested because few hundred people want the achievement just like you. Theres a few option. 1.You wait for it being less popular (new dragons / new content / lots of ppl complete the achivement). 2. You invest time and join to main server very early (5PM latest and suffer until decent commanders pop up). 3. Or you can do what i said before, join a dedicated guild. But any way you have to do something for it not just being sad about not getting on the main.

Probably they are there and doing content between Teqs. The AFK ppl are way bigger problems tbh than overflows.

It takes time organize an attack though. Just with getting into main most probably you wont beat Teq itslef. Still a huge % of the randomly organized fights are fails. You will beat him far sooner if you search a guild dedicated for him. Be there in time. And use Join In function on your own server. Or just go to overflow with the guild.

Yesterday i joined to main at 6PM and did every fight until we beated him at 10-11PM.

Copying my message from an another forum:

“There are guilds out there who are specialized on beating Tq in overflows. Basically they love empty overflows because there are less AFK ppl next to turrets. So they just choose a server to guest and stay in overflow, where they can JOIN IN with their members.”

You have the option to join more guilds and represent only on Teq kills time. But moaning is always easier. It took me like 40-50 fail to beat Teq once. But i started to read the forums and joined ppl organising kills. Mostly they failed but eventually i got him beaten 3 days in row. Twice in overflow.

There are guilds out there who are specialized on beating Tq in overflows. Basically they love empty overflows because there are less AFK ppl next to turrets. So they just choose a server to guest and stay in overflow, where they can JOIN IN with their members.

But really. It is always easier to moan.

Guesting is an option in the game. There are servers where you simple cant get the manpower to setup this. This can have lot of reason. The server doesnt have a pve community or just doesnt have good commanders to setup a fight.

Sitting in overflow is definitely annoying but i have seen plenty of guild that are specialised on overflow kills. Reading forums, joining a Teq beating squad is not restricted.

It is always easier to sit on your thumb and moan about overflows, guests, Tequatl, AFKers, kittenty commander / turret user, than go out and do something to get the achievement.

This can be time consuming but hey, you are playing an MMO. You have to invest time to achieve.

Yes it brings together the ppl. You get known new people, you probably will chat ome good while wait on Teq, also the cheer, the happiness after beating it on map chat and TS is not comparable to any part of the game.

I’m not going to lie. What i was thinking about GW2 PvE content was far from positive.
I found everything too easy and thought every PVE content in this game was designed for an average 10 yo kid. Even a braindead group was able to beat everything. It was nothing close to the GW1 PvE experience.

Then we got the improoved Teq. First i time i faced with it, 60+ player got him to 90% and was wondering what the hell happening hell. It is an impossible kill. Nerf it! Then i realised it is finally something ppl have to work for. You must find your commander(s), you must organize, you must teach first timers, explan them how the event the works. Understand the mechanics etc. I started to enjoy the fights more and more.

This challenge finally brings together the community together. Brings you out of PvE things you get used to. Its a not a perfect event, but finally somthing different, harder then we get used to. Beating Teq was my greatest PvE experience in GW2 so far. GJ.

Dont get me wrong. PVE is still far from optimal. Or nothing close to GW1 diversity but i definitely feel this was a good step forward. Hopefully we get more things like this.

Tell me. I exactly know i need Harati Hinterlands. Once i did it but i DC-d i munite left till scarlett and it didnt add up for me. Since then i am hunting as mad cow. In the morning i am checking constantly the 7AM + 8AM start and in the evening i let GW2 run on PC and check the events from 7PM till 12PM. Thats 8 event/day and i am not yet lucky with the last map. But i constantly see maps in the rotation lik 2 times right after each other etc etc. How hard is to code a fair rotation of that maps so the players stop sucking this current rotation big time.

Daaaang. It was so long since i did levelling that i forgot about this. Thanks for the heads up. Please delete this topic. Sorry for the inconvinience!

Hi Team,

I dont know if it was designed like this or not, but the new scroll that levels a character to lvl 20, and came with the 5000 achievement point chest, does not unlock trait line. I had a lvl 6 asuran guardian. I have added the scroll on him, he got to lvl 20. He got the skill points and the trait points to spend.

The problem is that i cant spend the trait points. I am now lvl 21 and still its all grey.

Best Regards,
Beer Time

The Primeval Armor headpice has a serious armor clipping with the teeths on charr. Its been like this since forever and its quite irritating comparing it costs 500 gems to buy this set… I had to turn off the headpice item look because it looks awful. :/

If you think Anet is fixing bugs slowly you would kill yourself after playing Aion. xD

At least 1 more weapon swap slot. Would be essential for sPvp and WvW.

GW1 skins…weapons and armors.

An awesome addtion would be to dig yourself back to ancient Gw1 town and find items between the ruins. I would kill for some elite luxon set on my necro, or the obsidian set for my ranger.

Also one of my biggest wish is the stormbow skin. It should have been the legendary longbow for sure. For me it is still the best bow skin ever made in MMO history.

Also your best selling item would be a the GUILD HALL claiming ticket. Would be nice to gather there or make events there. It is a must to be honest.

I dont really see why people are moaning about moa racing. I got my achievement in 9 race and ended up with +2 gold. First i kept betting on the first moa till it won a race, then the 2nd till it won, then back to the first one.

Also i ve heard some1 kept betting on the same one and got the achievement with extra cash as well. Dont forget to turn in your bags u receive. Thats all.

Meanwhile why dont you just finish the 2 story stuff. The first one was like 5 minute. The 2nd comes today. + Burn those effingies. Better then sitting and wait for the fix.

Dragon Bash is confirmed to not count. They took the eaisest fix on it. Not fixing it. xD

You need to finish 2 story quest + the effingies burn. But the effingies seems to be a long kitten and money invest as you have to travle a lot between zones to find the few effingy to burn them

Can tell you. It took my 10 months to get my Bolt without the TP.
Next time i will take a chance on it.

Zumy, thats just… insane you know!
I am not saying anything with my 1300-1400 hours.
Still wait my first 8G+ drop.

The 2 Dragon Ball achievement have been confirmed that WONT count so prepare yourself for more than the effingies burnout.

Probably people have been choosing to do this over the pve story. Maybe they dont like either of them but want the wings so they decided to do this because IT WAS NOT COMMUNICATED it will not count.

Or maybe they were like in the belief like me that have 1 million things to do during the weekdays – yes even in the evening and night – and only wanted to spend an another 10 minute to get the last achievement.

I would have absolutely no problem if they were told us at the very beginning, hey idiots it wont count. Because i wouldnt go even close to that if i knew that.

I have only done that crap until late night to finish the kitten achievement. Why is it in the achievement list if it doesnt give you anything. 1! Dragon coffer for every 5-10 min is BS.

Punishing the whole correct playerbase and degrade their work to zero because of the AFK-ers. Worst solution ever.

WvW is the best for karma once you get into a karma train and you are on a quite dominant server. Once the map is taken join the karma train o another BL.

Also fast and easy dungeons + daily achievements get you there fast. 60k karma is 2 day max. Go for it! The first thing i got for my legendary was the karma.

First of all. If you want 250 Gold you have to farm. No question.
Or pray for the RNG gods to drop you a precursor. (Not workin)

Secondly: Dont aim the 300 because its far less if you act clever:

Buy charged cores and use the MF recipe to create charged lodes.
2 Charged Core + 1 elonian wine + 1 T6 dust + 1 Crystal ( skillpoint trade in)
2,12 G + 0,26 G + 0,12 Gold = 2,5 G / lode
By 100pc it will cost 250 Gold instead of the 280-300 gold.
Boom you spared 1/6 th of the farming.

Finally after 9 and half months, 1264 hours, 1300+ G = Bolt
Pure farming / gaming, no TP:

To be honest i don’t get what are the problem with these vendors. Personally i think they should have added more badge requirement for these items.

Also with newly added daily achievements you should absolutely have no problem with laurels. Yesterday i have spent roughly 10 minute in WvW on EB and i got my daily chests. Yes its a shame you can get only 40 laurel in a month, but well they are not hard to get.

My main problem is the accessories. You either work 1 month for a single 1 + 50 ecto, or make the stupid pve bounties. I am in a WvW guild that’s is making maximum 2 guild bounty in a month. So for me to get the 6 accessories for the 3 Warrior build i am using will take like 3 month or more. :/ while Pve guys will get it probably in 1.

Next time you plan something like this. Send me 100G and i will tell you: FAIL.
There you go. You spared 500G.

But seriously. This random RNG is the best controlled ROBBERY of all time. You can’t see the numbers you just see you don’t get anything. and again… and again…

I guess we have no idea about the incomes what ANET has from these “special sales”, “ticket chances” etc…

Personally if i get a key dropped i use it, but i refuse to spend a single dollar on RNG and i am proud of it. If it means i will never get a flame animated weapon then i accept it.
