Guild Wars 2

TurtleDragon.3108:

Speaking of dodges… how do you evade the leap with one dodge?. I’ve only done the fight twice, but I think it’s a ground AoE from the leap with an unblockable tremor projectile (in one direction?). I’ve done the dodge successfully a few times, but other times the 2nd part of the skill hit me.

I’d prefer to avoid double dodging on that attack if I can?

If you’re not inside trolls AoE stomp range, you just need to watch and dodge once the earth projectile. If you’re within it’s AoE range (two attacks coming from troll, the stomp damage and the earth projectile), you can also dodge it once with the right timing by dodging towards troll.

Wow, I didn’t expect the legendary weapons to be account-bound since they will be unlocked as skins through the wardrobe system.

This upcoming patch is awesome. I can’t wait.

Yeah, if you’re new and in need of guidance, tell your party that you’re new to the dungeon. With this, you’re making an impression to them that you are willing to listen and learn. I’m pretty sure that most players, if not all, will gladly help you as long as you’re open about it and can communicate well if asked.

It’s like 270-280mb.

I got on a second group (the first one quit after first try lol), we manage to kill it after 2nd try.

The most critical moment to watch during the fight is the 1-hit-down leap-stomp, it’s an AoE stomp with an earth thing projectile after the impact. Melee and range just need to watch this skill and dodge it the moment it lands for a stomp.

Have anyone tried HotW path 1 after the patch? The champion troll, the first boss, have been changed with identical skills as AC troll, those deadly 1-hit leap-stomp, fear and lightning bolts.

I have no problem repeating multiple times for failed attempt on this achievement.

What kittenes me the most is the cutscene, can we have an option to just skip it?

I’n not sure if someone have said this before but they should make a new reward system and scraping the RNG system to get ascended drops for these type of events. In my opinion, having the RNG associated to these events doesn’t interest some of us, knowing we have to rely on luck.

To make Wurm, Teq and other future bosses more appealing and encouraging, why not reward us an account-bound “tokens” once a day for a successful kill on each boss and these tokens can be exchange for ascended items (specifying the amount of tokens for each ascended piece) like what we have for FoTM (pristine fractal relics), dungeons and their respective vendors.

I finally got my 800 gems refund. No changes were made on the armor, I still got the flamekissed skin on them.

The email response from their CS didn’t indicate any sort of removal or deletion of these skins. So does it mean I can keep them?

In my opinion, here are the list of the easiest dungeons I always do when I’m online.

CoF path 1 and 2
AC path 1 and 3
SE path 1
HotW path 1
TA Up and Forward (forward is fast and easy if you have good party)

Given an average to good dungeon parties, I can finish those in 2-3 hrs. And that is like 12g or something, not really sure.

As usual, I started my day looking for parties to run dungeons to earn gold and went to do CoF first but unfortunately none of the parties I joined can enter the CoF, either dungeon is closed or members don’t have exploration mode.

In the process of joining and leaving 3 parties, I noticed my “Join” box suddenly grayed out, can no longer join any parties and the text box says:“You have joined too many parties recently. Please wait a moment before trying to join again.” It’s my first time experiencing this. So decided to move to AC and wait for it to expire. After some time, I was able to join and run AC path 3 but as I was looking for another party to run path 1, my “Join” box is grayed out again and until now I can’t join any party.

Am I the only one experiencing this? I find this really troublesome since I want to finish all my dungeon runs.

EDIT: I restarted my modem and everything went back to normal. Weird.

Just today, I’m getting that same error a lot as well.

I can’t even browse GW2 site if that error occurs.

I just hope this “new art” you are talking is indeed new (good looking skimpy light armor) and not another re-skin of a crap looking light armor.

Anet should know better that it’s not simply trying to combine ingredients and discover the items again. It requires us to spend gold (again!) for all those specific materials needed to craft an item. Have Anet seen the inflation of these crafting materials recently? It’s enough reason to complain about.

It isn’t the support skills why guardians are favored on most parties. It has to do with the PvE culling we have right now. You see, a guardian’s staff skill #1 has a wide frontal AoE (fairly fast attack skill on top of that) and doesn’t required a target. It basically hits everything in front, invisible or not. A good way to counter PvE culling and better chance to get loots.

Just now, I managed to solo tier 4 Kiel’s candidate trial in 2 tries with my full berserker rifle warrior. I tried full party earlier and it was hell.

This is what I did:
- All berserker stats traited with rifle 20% reduced cd on skills and physical utility 20% reduced cd (for your Throw Bolas), always pop up “for great justice” and signet of rage for full dps
- Always stay behind the spawn areas (where plunderers spawn and this is the spot where you want to lose aggro and hp reset)
- Kill plunderers as soon as it spawn (use bolas and rifle skill#2 to slow them down) and if you didn’t manage to to kill it in one try, don’t attempt to chase it or you will be inviting more mobs/vets to you, wait for it to come back and kill it (if mobs comes to you by chance, run away until you lose aggro)

Hope it helps.

As for me, most of JPs are okay but I find the Aetherblades JP is the MOST annoying and frustrating. I called it a stress builder JP. About 90-95% of that JP is jumping into a very narrow platform which is pretty ridiculous.

I’m planning to have all class to lvl 80, what I have right now are:

Human Male: Warrior (lvl 80)
Human Female: Mesmer, Thief and Elementalist (all lvl 80)
Norn Female: Guardian (lvl 80)
Charr Male: Necromancer (lvl 80)
Asura Male: Ranger (lvl 80)
Sylvari Male: Engineer (lvl 18)

Good job at EB, SOR-JQ!

Just had a laugh when SoR zerg met JQ zerg at Klovan and giving each other high-five. Teamwork akittens best!

lollasaurus.1457:

Worst case scenario for JQ, seeing BG tears fill the pixels on my screen isn’t so bad though…

We balls deep JQ last week by 111k. Yes, balls deep!

It’s no surprise some of them act like a brat because big bro SoR is back. I personally wanted a match-up with BG/SoR/non-factor server and see how we do against SoR. Only time will tell.

Peetee.9406:

BG filling rivers with their tears tonight.

I better get a bathing suit.

Enjoy it, man!
It reminded me on the previous match-up. We did skinny dipping at JQ’s pool.

Killtrox.2019:

Well…EB was interesting tonight. JQ thanks for going to the Klovan over and over and over again, laying down your arms and falling on the ground allowing RISE and friends to kill you to get some loot. That was extra kind of you. TYSM….good fights……I guess……

It was tough for TSYM cause you guys knew wherever we went every single time. Your numbers were scaring us a lot as well. We had some havoc squads and our numbers were less than yours. Tbh you guys really had the power to own the entire map, but you guys didn’t make use of the power to your advantage.

If you are referring the “entire map” as EB map, then we already had our hands full with JQ and SoR attacking us non-stop on both sides – which is actually fun, lots of action and of course loot bags.

JQ has yet to attack SoR in EB, 2 and half hours after reset and they haven’t even poked SoR.

Awww, sounds like BG needs more guilds to bolster their numbers, eh?

You should start a recruitment thread ……

Apparently, it looks like we need to recruit a SERVER instead of guilds. As for me, I’m actually enjoying this situation, more people to kill for loot bags.

How many more servers does BG want to eat up? 4 servers wasn’t enough for you guys?

At least we don’t kiss someone’s kitten at the moment. You know what I mean.

CoF path 1 dungeon design is to be blame on this elitism issue. The CoF path 1 design we have right now is so efficient to do SPEED farm run with a party consisting only of warriors and mesmers. In fact, there is no need to speed farm run the dungeon with a support-oriented class and basically only needs a class that gives more DPS boons.

Daily achievement isn’t actually time consuming and can be done easily. The reward is still worthy. So I don’t see any reason not to do the daily.

I usually do mine on low level zone (ex. Plains of Ashford), you can finish “Daily Kill Variety” and “Daily Kills” with ease as well as “Daily Gatherer” if you gathering low tier resources. As for the “Daily Events”, I find it faster doing it in WvW.

Probably it was a month ago when I was with a pug doing path 2, a warrior single-handedly solo-kite all the mobs inside that room. No deaths. The rest of the members were just watching outside with amazement. That was the only time I saw someone solo-kite that room without dying.

Honestly, a thief has way too much stealth ability and nobody can deny the fact that they are the most annoying class to fight. I’m not against their stealth but I would like to see the condition damages affects while they go stealth and escape. For example:

Bleeding – traces of blood on the ground
Poison – green mist/traces of green slime on the ground
Chill – blue mist/traces of ice on the ground
Etc.

It’s scary to hear that most banned accounts are those players who are doing events to farm or level.

I suggest ArenaNet should know these hot spots areas/zones where a lot of players gathered as there are many events going on to farm karma and gold, or to level faster.

- area around Overlord’s Greatcamp (located at west of Kessex Hills)
- area around Modniir George (this is a chain event, located at the northeast of Harathi Hinterlands)
- southwest of Straits of Devastation
- area around Penitent Path and Fields of Gold (Cursed Shore)
