just necro it…solves all the problems hue.

Pretty much. I condi necro in fractals and have never had a problem with T4 aquatic. One epidemic wipes out all the baby jellies all while we break the bar and just kill it. No running from it or kiting it anywhere. Just murder it ded.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

There are currently only 300 people in the entire game who have access to:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pinnacle_weapon_skins

These are by far the rarest weapons

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/achievements?page=12

despite the fact that I have one of these weapon skins….I haven’t even bothered putting it on a weapon yet. I tend to deck my characters out in “themes” rather than just use what might be the rarest possible skin I have.

I have Immobulus too (made it when eyes were a whole lot harder to get), yet it’s only equipped on my mesmers who I don’t play often.

I put all my legendaries on my ranger as she can use most of them, and everyone else sometimes uses the legendary skins, but sometimes you just want to have a cohesive theme going. One of my necros is mordrem weapons/themed, another is all spectral weapons (aka spoopy monster skins). Maybe someday I’ll deck someone out with all of the rarest skins I have….it will look ridiculous I’m sure. XD

OH…and Infinite Light is ALL OVER the game. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Harpy

Melandru – that would be cool
Grenth – we already have the grenth hood
Kormir – just wear a blindfold and walk into things and ask someone to guide you around while you hold your weapons and don’t help fight.

Darkness.9732:

I don’ t understand this. Now WvW is exactly the same of 3 years ago.

It’ s an incredible failure.

You realize they updated the maps and changed things. It’s the same map, but still different. It’s not a failure.

V is the perfect spot for dodge as it makes dodge-jumping way easier.

The one place I miss the Hero’s Choice chest the most is Dragon Stand. Right now you get a whole 9? machetes for doing the map from start to end. I don’t remember the exact number, but it was pitiful.

Sometimes there are also multiple instances with the same ip.

I just jump over the waves rather than dodge them and that seems to work just fine. The timing for jumping over hasn’t changed at all.

I think part of the problem is that for the longest time there was the mentality that CC was bad and there were people raging about all the knockback/pull/CC that moved the bosses and now we have a breakbar rather than defiance and CC actually has a purpose other than to kitten off folks that just laid down a nice AoE by moving the enemy out of their AoE field. So lots of folks got used to not using their CCs and now that we need them they’re less sure of how/when to use them.

And if you ever not sure which skills count as hard/soft CCs for breakbars, look at the conditions on the boss: if it’s grey – it effects the breakbar.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Go ANet! Hopefully they redo uncategorized or snowblind next. The tedium that is champion Ettin/Shaman and Lornar Dragonseeker is painful at high scales.

Your weakness makes me laugh! Dragon will devour all!

I love the changes to cliffside. I just wish the Archdiviner was a bit bigger so we can see his animations and changes a bit easier. This fractal is so much more enjoyable now.

When I do dailies on my non-HoT account I like to hit the “eye” next to the ones I plan on doing to keep them in my watch list.

The ones that are the same for Hot & non-hot stick there just fine, but the ones that replace the HoT dailies do not get “watched” I can click and unclick the eye to watch them, but they’ll never appear at the top right.

I’ll bug report in-game next time I see it, but it’s been consistent with every day’s dailies since the new dailies came out. It’s not game breaking, but should be fixed.

Flax Farm in verdant brink (below Jaka Itzel waypoint)
Elder tree farm spot in Malchor’s leap (near Pagga’s WP)
Potato farm in either Metrica or Plains of Ashford.

Those are my three “park characters” spots.

You’re asked to confirm TWICE…not just once, but twice that you do indeed want to consume it.

There is no undo for that and highly unlikely that you would have consumed it wrongly unless you’re in the habit of not reading things you’re clicking on. The fact is that there are TWO “are you sure” and “Are you REALLY sure” messages. What do you want Three, four, five different popups telling you to stop, turn back now, this is your final answer? I hate to be harsh, but there were several messages you got in game to make sure you use it on the right character the first time.

ok folks , just calm down .. it was data-mined … refund soon .. just be patient

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4figzt/datamining_upcoming_features_from_the_april_19/

scoll down to Guilds & Scribing section.

I dont see where it says that scirbing is getting refunded, only the treasury so I do not know what you are talking about.

In any case, I was livid when this happened. While I am happy they made the change, not 3 days earlier I had just scribed about 600g worth of SAB items. If they knew they were changing the scribing costs when SAB was released, why did they make the items still need the items it did? It is a real insult to release SAB items with the high cost to craft them when they knew they were going to be reducing the mats needed.

I will accept that I have to take the hit for leveling up scribing, but anything made in like the last month should really be refunded or compensated in some way. The real problem is that they knew this change would be coming, and yet the only mention of it was in some obscure reddit post a couple weeks ago (something I never saw till after the fact). A change like this need to be WAY more visible to people so they can decide if they want to scibe or not till the change is made.

And this is why I just collected the clouds and waited to craft the big SAB things later. Once I get more sand I’ll be working on even more for my guild’s hall.

Yes, because you get 100% uptime of all of those boons and class buffs in raids.

The goal to have a standardized setup so we can single out variable and compare orange to orange. It’s a comparison tools, which have it’s used even if it can’t do everything.

The goal here is not to see what is your actual dps in fight, but to compare your efficiency in your rotation and to compare the dps of different build. If you can’t fix the amount of buff so that they don’t vary then you can’t isolate the 2 variables I talked about (build and rotation). You wouldn’t know if you had a better dps because you are better at your rotation or because you were lucky and had better buff that time.

That said, it would be nice to give realistic buff, for exemple give a like 50% updtime to alacrity. But I think it would be just too difficult to set up and it would give more variable, making it hard again to compare build and rotation.

Then why add other class buffs at all? Sure use all of the standard boons for “conformity” but why add unrealistic conditions with adding every single possible other class buff to inflate your dps ego?

A more standard & realistic DPS check would be to add 25 stacks of might + fury and then whatever your own build brings to the table.

penelopehannibal.8947:

With those ranger buffs, mesmer buffs, warrior buffs on an elementalist, then sorry, in my eyes that’s not a “your” DPS but a shared DPS.

Of course, I’m testing my dps for raids.

Yes, because you get 100% uptime of all of those boons and class buffs in raids.

cdsmith.1072:

extra coarse sandpaper is still requiring 10 piles of sand

It was 20.

“Adjusted all sandpaper to only require 10 piles of coarse sand to create.”

Yeah, like Ameepa said, after you craft something at the scribing station someone needs to go to the processor to actually queue the item to be “made”. It’s not like other crafting professions where you make the item at the crafting station and then it exists. You’re essentially making a blueprint that you then feed into another “machine” to actually build the item.

The guild has to give their scribe permissions to use the processor or the scribe will have to ask one of the officers every time they need something to be added to the queue to be built.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Assembly_Device this is the place you go to queue the decorations/banners/guild consumables to be made after crafting at the scribe station.

Would it be possible to get the 3D image files for us to print on our own 3D printers should we have one? If not that’s fine and I understand.

Thanks Josh for everything you do. <3

I’ve gotten stuck in that wall before and I don’t have a bad ping. That wall/mordremoth’s corpse is super glitchy. And the respawn location when you die…is inside of there.

Once I got glitched inside of the helix because it scraped the wall up there and had to walk down to the water below and kill myself only to get ported up to the ledge inside the wall. I was able to kill Faolain with AoEs thankfully, but it was stupid. I bug reported that in-game. Too bad that isn’t fixed yet.

I get the most Indigo mushrooms from Sawgill mushrooms in the HoT zones. You might want to try hunting those down. I’ve also gotten them from Snow/Orrian truffles. Make sure you’re harvesting mushrooms to get the Indigo mushrooms. The higher level mushrooms have the best chance of getting them. You don’t get them from any other type of node.

Khisanth.2948:

You might want to unlock the Minstrel collection as well. That also requires indigo mushrooms.

This. Just unlock Minstrel I. Don’t worry about completing it. I’m drowning in Indigo Mushrooms. I even completed Minstrel I in hopes they’d stop dropping…nope I have several stacks of them now. o.o

You don’t get credit for Adventuring daily if you do it in infantile mode. Only Normal (or tribulation?)

Just sell it….every copper counts! It adds up.

I would like a way to Mark things as Junk so I can use the instant sell button.

A friend of mine tried mailing me potatoes yesterday and he crashed every single time he tried to send them.

It apparently stopped after someone else sent HIM a mail with stuff attached. I’m not sure though.

Valento.9852:

Inb4 Potatoes and Portobello Mushrooms spike in price.

Potatoes have already gone up in price. it’s way more cost effective to farm your own to make dye than buy them.

I did notice an animation change with the jump pads…so something did change, but since I have HoT I didn’t notice them ever not working.

ZachAttack.3957:

I think I’ve noticed it ramping up a little. But heavens, I can’t for the life of me find the second chest in W2Z1. Anyone have any pointers?

There’s one up by a bear not too far in and out in the open so this is probably the one you found already.

The second one is behind the waterfall. The third or fourth log across just run into the side of the wall and eventually you’ll go through into a hidden area. There are lots of bears in there and you’ll kill them and bounce your way up to the top of the waterfall. The chest is near the top of the waterfall just by the last checkpoint. You can also get there if you manage to stay on the logs at the very top of the falls, but the bear route is more reliable.

Make them all flail!

Also, if you’re double clicking on the pact scouting materials in a city, instance, guild hall or starter zone you’re not going to get anything.

You don’t get a wiggle box or anything. For example: Go collect all 6 Scouting materials, then go to Frostgorge Sound and double click on all of them. This week you will be getting Powerful Blood, Charged Lodestones/Cores and Giant eyes. Watch the loot come in above your minimap and you’ll find the items put directly into your inventory.

If you want to see at a glance what you’ll get from each map go to this wiki page: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Map_bonus_reward

If you’re doing events in the zone you will get one map bonus reward for every 2 events you do.

I want to make the Moto fountain that’s in the SAB lobby too though.

And I want to convert the guild’s balloons into SAB balloons.

I love that the portrait of Moto is Moto on one side and Mia on the other.

It unlocks the tab to buy more furniture coins. You turn in the coins in the guild hall for clouds and the scribe then uses the clouds to make the other decorations.

The Wall is awesome.
Trees are cool.
Rocks are rocks.
Mountain is Meh.
Unimpressive Frog is Unimpressive.
Super King Frog is overpriced in what you need to do to craft him…..he better be amazing for how much it costs to make him.

Glad to see Comcast could get into the Volunteer spirit and give us our game back. lol!

Try the -clientport 443 and see if that helps you.

The husband and I are in Knoxville too so I’m thinking Comcast has done something to throttle the usual port (or it’s cleared up coincidentally right when I tried that)

Dang it Knoxville! Guess it’s just us. I finally got in and my ping ranges from normal to 2000+.

I was finally able to log in using -clientport 443

This was the latest error I got while trying to log in. I power cycled my modem & router as well. Everything not Gw2 related loads just fine.

Build: 59701
Error Code: 7:1000:7006:462

Trying -repair now.

It’s weird everything was fine a few hours ago and now anything gw2 just does not want to load.

Well I got in to the game and am stuck on a loading screen. My guild has no tag on the character select page, it’s just [ ]….so there are problems somewhere.

My husband still can’t get the game to let him log in at all.

My loading screen with mapload info attached.

I’ve been trying for at least 30 minutes now. I was able to log into the forums (though they’re very slow). I can’t log into the game though at all.

I keep getting login failure due to connection issues.

Build: 59701

I really hate Auric Ingots, Auric Slivers. The dust can stay because it will eventually be used to make Fulgrite. The ingots and slivers I have no use at all for. I did the story enough times that I have all the Auric weapons so I won’t be making any of them. Would love another use for them.

Thanks Yasi. I’ll work on improving that!

If anything Transfusion needs a range increase to at least 900 range. Search and rescue is fine. It’s a niche skill and it’s fine where it is.

I’m working my butt off trying to at least get to Ruby this season and all it’s doing is making me hate PvP. I’ve been stuck in T2 emerald for way too long and it’s frustrating, infuriating and above all disheartening. I’ll get up to 4 pips then lose them all. Or win a match, then lose 3 more. I don’t expect to ever get past Ruby or care to, but really does it have to be this maddening trying to get past the second tier of emerald? Not even to get through the track completely…just one tier. I didn’t like PvP much before this league thing….now I loathe doing matches to try and get out of this hellhole.

I want to finish the achievements and get the backpack but at what cost to my sanity?

are you still in emerald ?
what profession / build / amulet / traits / skills etc are you using ?

I’m stuck in T2 Sapphire.

I main ranger/necro/guardian.
Ranger I have something similar to the meta bunker druid.
Necro I have both a viper/mm and a transfusion/bunkerish build (they took my amulet away for this build so I had to change it)
Guard I run medi/trapper meta build.

I’ve also tried Revanent/herald with knights amulet, sanctuary runes and a build similar to nothing else…I honestly am not too familiar with rev so I should probably try one of the meta builds and see if that helps. I know her build is bad, I don’t deny that. (In fact going to try that right now) [edit: turns out my trait lines were the meta power shiro, but other things were wrong….time to fix that]

When I get on a really bad losing streak…as I’ve been stuck in T2 sapphire for about 2-3 days now…I swap characters to see if playing something different will help me get on better teams.

And the thing is, very few of my matches are blowouts. On of my recent losses was 500 to 497. Those losses I can deal with because it could have easily swung the other way. I just hate being stuck. I know part of it is me because I am part of the team too. I know how to rotate points and to be aware of the map and positioning, but how do I get out of this hole so I can get to Ruby?

Evan Lesh.3295:

Getting ‘stuck’ in ruby is a very important topic regarding how best league should operate. We changed matchmaking to make the ladder more prestigious and so far it has done that. Divisions are aligning with skill level much better than season 1. The product of this change is that the bulk of players who hover around the middle of the mmr curve should stay in sapphire and ruby. Win rate will level out at 50% because there are plentiful players of similar mmr in the same division.

Should average players be able to climb out of the middle divisions by grinding? This removes prestige and can make matchmaking worse within a division, but always allows a sense of progression.

Should average players stay in the middle divisions because that’s where they belong at their skill level? This retains prestige and only improving skill will allow climbing, but rewards and progression stop at some point through the season.

Is there an incentive that could be added to league games for players who have reached their appropriate division and can no longer climb?

The only incentive I care about is being able to win games and progress. Without progression of any meaningful sort there is no reason for me to continue. I don’t want to be someone else’s punching back for weeks because some algorithm is determined to keep me down in my “place”. No one should ever feel like they’re stuck.

I have no delusions that I’d ever get past Ruby, nor do I really care to but why should anyone bother playing if there’s no hope of progressing beyond where the matchmaking decides is where you belong?

BrotherBelial.3094:

You know we are having unbalanced matches right the way through the league right? Like having a duo in a solo queue pulling a 5 man guild team.

I have spent the best part of a week trying to get in to ruby, with the most pip I can get is 4 in sapphire T5, before I end up facing a full 5 man team and being smacked back down to 0 pips. Frustration is not the word. My rage could melt planets.

If you duo queue or someone on your team is a duo team and you pull a 5 man premade…that isn’t a death sentence. I’ve been on more than one team against a guild premade or like this screenshot shows against a full 5 party premade. And most times we beat them anyway. Not always, but more often than not it seems. I only solo queue so I was surprised to see a full 5 man team when the match ended, but the way they changed it seems to work (for me).

But on topic, while my queue times are reasonable, no one should have to deal with more than 10-15 minutes in queue. Your queue time should not exceed the time allotted for each match. That’s unfair to those that got to the top.

Zodryn.4216:

Since it’s already kind of an odd map, why not enable gliding? Suddenly getting knocked off the hammer isn’t as horrible, and you could glide from mid to A or C.

Additionally, Skyhammer damage could be reduced, and you could add a platform under the holes at A and C so you’re still punished for falling through (lost time), but you can ran back up to the point from there.

While I think adding gliding would be fantastic, it would make it so that those folks without HoT would be at a severe disadvantage on this map. Any mechanics on PvP maps needs to be doable by anyone from F2P to expansion owners.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

casual pvp players (like myself) who can only reach ruby will need to participate in all 4 seasons.

season 1 – ruby
season 2 – ruby
season 3 – ruby
season 4 – at least emerald, get to ruby for more gold and silvers

To finish all 4 of the meta achievements though, you only need to get to Ruby twice and Emerald twice. Is there a reason you’d need to do more than that?

I like Skyhammer as is. You’ve already made it so you can dodge the skyhammer and there’s a really long windup for it which gives you time to prepare to dodge or move out of the AoE.

Almost all classes now have access to some sort of push or pull to knock people off so I don’t see a problem there.

You already added more “railings” so there is less chance of getting knocked off everywhere.

I don’t see the problem with this map and why people hate it. I think it’s fun and having the hammer there is no different than beasts/trebs/lords/etc.

The only thing I might change is adding a second way to get to the hammer. While I love trapping/marking up the door it does feel cheap.
