The Blazing Light is a guardian, not a mesmer…..
Before that patch, you had to do a high amount of damage to get credit for loot. That’s why it was beneficial to tag mobs as a party, since damage from other party members is pooled.
Post patch, the amount to do is much, much lower. So much lower that you don’t have to party up, even with zergs.
I would disagree with that as I’d followed the zerg in Frostgorge for a while, and many times I’d miss out on the loot because I hadn’t done enough damage.
Then I’d consider getting a different or better set of armor and/or weapons. I qualify for loot after about 2 hits (~5-6k damage) on champions.
Been working on that

Won’t happen but I want a scelerite weapon for my character’s birthday (or a ticket for any of the previous limited time weapons….but mostly a scelerite)
If we get birthday minis, that’s fine too I suppose.
with much gusto
Tarnished Coast is awesome. Hope you can make it over to us!! If you do and you need a guild let me know
I don’t believe it…. tis why I bash his head in every time. >.>
I hope so! I loved the birthday presents in GW1
Aren’t there no champions (except maybe the squire dude from the Ascalon one)? Aren’t all end bosses legendary (or whatever the purple is)?
There are lots of champs in fractals. Uncategorized for example has a room with four (Rabbit, human, charr, jotun/ettin?) and there are others in a variety of them too!
I’d like to know this too. I’m working on my second stack of Evon Buttons….. >.>
How would Scarlet be Ellen if she’s the one that was helping you take down the Aetherblade base -.-
Because someone knew too much and she had to go and take them out before the truth about her got out. If anyone found out she was scarlet all of her hopes of getting a seat on the council would be lost! She just helped us thru the facility and didn’t actually participate in any of the fights.
Caudecus is creepy and can stay in his mansion with the mirror over his bed and “racy” pictures of Logan.
Other than that, let’s have some action!! (Not Caudecus kind of action though * shudder *)
Anet can’t seem to win….
Ugh, get rid of the confirmation for buying everything, it’s so tedious when you want to buy multiples.
Oh no, what if I accidentally buy too many/the wrong thing. Put confirmation buttons in.
Personally I love the update, the wallet and everything they’re doing in the upcoming update. This is a much needed update and I hope that we’ll get the seasonal/event currencies added too eventually.
I’m hoping it will be somewhere in our hero pane where we can see how much we have of which currencies. Kinda-sorta like RIFT does (but you know cleaner & better)
There are a couple youtube videos of people getting up there!
Hearts are the bane of my existence and the reason I hate mapping since I have an OCD like thing where if I enter a zone I must finish everything there. They’re fun the first time, but just become so tedious the 3rd or 4th or 8th time. I wish all maps were like Orr and directly event driven.
Also I’d love if they would never add more hearts or replace them with old style quests just because I absolutely hate killing the same enemies or doing the same thing to fill up a meter on a bar.
I’m surprised so many people actually like them in this thread
Having done map completion 3 times already (and working on the next two characters getting there) I enjoy doing the hearts. They give coin, karma & experience to my low level characters who need it and give me something else to do besides just walk through the zone and hit certain points. You can technically complete Orr without having to kill anything if you’re sleuthy and such.
I certainly don’t want old-school kill 30 of this type quests, but I like the added variety and it certainly helps level characters and help you learn how to play whichever class you’ve made.
I love the hearts and would want new zones to have them. Now that there are settlers in Southsun they should add some there too.
So going to have to try that!
Wow, I need to figure out how to get up there…..working on trying to beat a guildmate’s falling damage record….currently at 2.2 million HP. >.>
Same, I’m willing to save up 50 scraps or whatever it takes to get a scelerite weapon. Please let this be an eventual option. Pretty please.
My guardian loves her fishnet stockings and fishnet part of her chest piece. It’s pretty darn skimpy and she knows she’s hot. >.>
Norn Female
Fur lined helm (when she wears one)
Barbaric Shoulder
Named Exotic Top
Gladiator Gloves
Barbaric Leggings
Iron Legion Boots
Don’t have a picture, but go preview those on your character and you’ll see what I mean.
“Tickets and ticket scraps will continue to drop from the Black Lion Chest and can be used for select future weapon sets.”
from: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/july-23-content-release-notes/
I know it says that we’ll be able to use the tickets & ticket scraps for select future weapon sets, but what I would love is to have the option to turn the scaps in for a scelerite weapon. I know I’m stuck on the scelerite weapons, but I just really want a way to get one. I can’t even begin to describe how upset I was that I couldn’t get a scelerite weapon. Aetherized, meh not interested.
Can anyone (maybe a dev if I bribe with Cookies) shed some light on if the ability to use the tickets/scraps for previous weapon skins will come to pass? (Do I need to start collecting to get the weapon of my dreams or am I SOL?)
Unless I’m mistaken there is lore in at least one other fractal already. The Charr fractal which is somewhere (pre?)-searing..
I just want my scelerite sword, but sadly I will probably never get ;_;
Free travel to the character’s home city would be awesome.
Oh my this is in-tents.
>.>
Actually, I did read the thread and there is more in that thread than just the video.
So good job. You make another post with the exact same title as another thread rather than using a thread with the same general title that is talking about the video, what to do with it, etc. Apparently you didn’t read that thread.
Interesting topic, but why post another thread on this rather than reply to the thread literally the next one down…..
I just wish I could place the model in my home instance….that way it’s perma there and not taking up a spot in my bank. >.<
Jeremy Soule did a great job with the music. I love how he captured the feeling of procession & advancement thru the zone. Which is why is will always be my favorite area <3
They’ve docked a flying ship to transport us back & forth to the Bazaar.
Just my guess.
I love all of the music in the game. As someone with two degrees in music and just a love for what people can do I’m always excited when I catch snippets of something here and there.
Has anyone else noticed the Promenade theme from Pictures at an Exhibition while roaming around Plains of Ashford? I noticed this during one of the Beta Weekends and as such that area is still one of my favorites!
This is the plains of Ashford music

(Edit: I know it’s only a small part that’s similar…it’s just that iconic horn motif that strikes me as similar)
I love that quest chain. When I’m bored and don’t know what else to do I go and check on Captain Penzan and Smatti.
When was the last time you bathed my good man? You smell like a filthy pirate!
But captain, we just went for a swim. Surely it’s the swamp you smell…unless [cue pirate attack]
Kill things, then go get Smatti to search for the lost treasure… Bjorn’s Brew! I thought it had all been consumed years ago. We are in for a treat tonight!
Oh those two bungling clods….they do drink like idiots!
I may in fact can pretty much quote all three of those events >.>
The karka transform with the kite is uber adorable too.
Full zerk is squishy. I refuse to rely on others to keep me alive.
Knights Gear, Dolyak Runes, Valkyrie trinkets.
Hmm 6x frequent sprinter, 90 races and still nothing.. this smells like a bug.. can realy everyone get catcher? or only who payed some money/ have lvl 80/ or something like this has a chance to get it?
It’s the same RNG for everyone. I’ve bought gems & have 7 lvl 80s…..
RNG is a cruel mistress.
Pretty much the same as OP here. 65 races and no catcher drop for me.
Eventhough I mostly play heavy armor…..I do quite agree. The medium/light dragon helms should have been a different type of dragon and a material more related to the class of armor. Likewise for the new zepherite armors too.
I’d much rather they be changed so I can summon a spirit raven/wolf/bear/snow leopard rather than become one. Something similar to Mistfire Wolf that lasts for like 60 seconds.
These are our spirit animals after all.
I want to be able to decorate my home instance….. let me buy home items with gold/gems and let me change out furniture or whatever….
Alopexx I like it but it sounds more asuran than norn to me.
My female Norn guardian is named Maggie Jackdaw.
She is devoted to Raven (aka Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, etc…) and is not related to those scurvy Jackdaw Pirates. Maggie has quite a taste for a good ale and will sometimes go overboard on her drinking, but always a good time is had! She also seems to think that she’s a princess as she keeps a princess wand handy to set her foes ablaze and likes to romp around with her “fairy” wings.
I’m okay with people standing back and waiting for others….that’s their choice. It’s when there’s one person at the end sniping others to get their friends ahead that I see a problem. That is cheating and unfair. Just standing there & waiting is not.
I would love it, if in the home instance you have your own house that you could “decorate” how you want with the nicknacks. So the journal you can put on a bookshelf, the model you put on your endtable or whatever…etc. as your collection grows.
Maybe certain achievements or titles open up wall art, for instance maxing out a greatsword allows you to hang a sword on the wall. Defeating Zaitan in storymode allows you to hang a painting of your triumph…etc.
I love this idea!
The problem isn’t people just standing at the finish waiting for others to cross first….it’s people standing up on a ledge and using the attacks on some but not others so that some people can get ahead of those they don’t know..
This is going to be an awesome replacement for my MF gear…..for other stuff, meh. Either way, I like it & will be working on a set for myself.
OOh, so you can get charged ones from the home node?!
Rather than a bank tab I’d like to see a memento cabinet (or similar) in the home instance where the objects could be physically placed for display.
I actually like this idea better than mine. It would make the home instance feel more like a home
Yes exactly. Memento cabinet or let me place them somewhere within my home instance. I love that we’re starting to see our home instances becoming more homelike….
Now maybe add a bank access chest in there too (like the xhaitian chests) and possibly a “touchstone” of sorts to go to the HoM.
Think about it this way.
You’ve just joined the game and are starting with 0 AP. When you get to 500 AP you get a nice bonus…..then another 500Ap later you get the next bonus.
It seems excessive to us right now because we’re getting the chests retroactively. Think how overwhelming it would have been to get them all at once!! o.O
I love what they’ve done. I may not like all of the skins, or give a hoot about the PvP stuff but I don’t care…..it’s all a nice bonus that we didnt’ have before. And once all of the retroactive chests are given out I think people will calm down about the “it’s unfair” nonsense.
