Fight that instinct. It’s not helping you.

. . . and never play a ranger with a longbow.

Why not?

Point-blank shot will annoy people

So does illusionary wave, I know some people seem to feel the urge to use all their skills in every fight.

But nobody runs around going “mesmers suck” the same way rangers are held up as the quintessential “class nobody should ever ever play”. Even above engineers.

And the reason people give me for rangers sucking usually revolve around idiots with longbows who don’t know how to hold their Point Blank Shot and just use it to shave Defiant off.

Ofcause nobody does that the majority seems to latch onto popular opinions like “ranger sucks” or “longbow is bad” when in reality the ranger is quiet nice and the longbow is not that bad

To anyone concerned with WvW CDI,

Wait until EoTM releases. It’s obvious that’s been what’s on their development track the past few months. When that release is out the door, WvW team can have more time and perhaps even more resources to develop other systems like improve commander functionality, amongst other things.

It’s always wait for this wait for that. Wait for the League to end, then we’ll get the attention we need. Wait for EoTM to come out, then we’ll get the attention we need.

Nobody wanted the Leagues and nobody wants EoTM. WvW has some very serious issues that are slowly but surely killing it and none of them are being addressed.

Agree we get a lot of features “we don’t want”, sure it’s nice to have them and alot of them are pretty cool but still, the core of the game still has lots of problems that needs to be solved until you expand that core and that’s something they kept saying. Weirdly enough they don’t stick with that plan.

We had the same problem but after like 1 or 2 wipes they started to spawn again.

Problem is people already bought them, so they cannot simply remove the feature, otherwise they have to deal with loads of refund requests.
So I’m thinking this will be the new trend, i.e. new gathering tools have bonus of getting new LS crafting materials, from now on. Previous bought item.. um.. you got your benefit already for the past x months now time to move on and buy a new one.

They discontinued Flamekissed armor.
They can do the same for this.

If they remove this pickaxe i will have to murder every whiny little kitten in this thread.

I still don’t understand how anyone can defend this pickaxe.

Post your hall of monument page so we can give you some advices how to reach the amount of points you need as fast as possible

So people get used to it cough accountbound dyes cough

You mean the change made quite some time before release, and with the alternative being a rather grindy mess that most people probably would have hated even more than the current system?

I think it was like 1 or 2 months after they “hired” her. The system we saw in the beta, was horrible aswell, that’s true.

Minae Iss.7054:

I don’t get it, links to you bragging and a useless skill icon ?

Calling that skill useless?! Heresy!

Flytrap.8075:

kokiman.2364:

Exactly like I thought. Patch 1 2 and 3 will, despite being called “big patches”, still be regular LS patches maybe even smaller considering that they don’t add any features.

What a shame :/

They’re adding in a new WvW map; some would consider that to be a pretty nice feature.

For WvW players, aye. Those 2 patches are still not on the same scale as previous LS updates.

lordkrall.7241:

They did hire say expert several MONTHS BEFORE the release of the game though. So it is not something new. And if she did all this, one would wonder why she waited over a year with it.

Well you supported the whole “Pay 2 Convinience” thing with the purchase of the unlimited tools and now this is what you get.

There is a rather major difference between paying for convinience and paying for advantages though.

I for one will NOT buy this new set if they don’t fix/remove this thing even though I have bought multiple sets of the earlier ones.

Well like I said earlier they are trying to test how far they can get. People complained about the first unlimited pick aswell but later people didn’t care anymore and we got more of them + they got more expensive. Now they are trying to give people another incentive to buy them.

I’d love to see that aswell, but too much work, we will never get to see it.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

I’m glad to see the concordance on this topic. I have not seen a single defender of this, and that’s a plus. As a person with several unlimited tools, I love these items. But now I certainly feel obligated to buy this in order to stay ahead. I don’t know. It kind of sucks.

Well you supported the whole “Pay 2 Convinience” thing with the purchase of the unlimited tools and now this is what you get.

Welp, that’s over the line, imo. It’s doesn’t sound like a big deal but it is obvious that they are testing how far they can go with the gemstore stuff.

None of those, dungeons yield way more gold.

Queen’s dale and Frostgorge are terrible “farming” spots

You must land in the water in order to earn credit for the achievement; the jump will not count if you die.

Maybe because of this?

For me it was worth it. The only lackluster thing is the soundtrack.

They pretty much covered every stereotype with their classes, not seeing new ones coming out anytime soon.

Lobsters.3869:

btw kokiman:

same reason why u don’t give somebody an orange and a straw when they ask if they can have something to drink.

If I had nothing else at my disposal I would indeed give him an orange and a straw.

Sometimes you gotta be creative when your tools are limited (you can also use the guildbank)

Another set of legendary weapons would be better and this time .. no “funny” skins people. GW2 is srs bsns! Seriously, please don’t do that again!

Why not sending him the materials and let him craft those “knives” ?

kokiman.2364:

And on the other hand you have achievements where people seem to think that they are forced to “google” or use the mapchat. Why don’t you complain about that?

Because that doesn’t bother me, so I don’t complain about it. I only complain about stuff that bothers me. Others can complain about stuff that bothers them.

What an odd question. lol

You do only complain when something is too hard/random but not when something is too easy?

I sometimes call those people out. I do that because I am frustrated not only by their lack of skill (which i can totally understand) but by their unwillingness to learn.

Here is what I think people should do:
→ new encounter → ask people about it or read about it → come with my character that I am most familiar with and has the best equipment (not talking about full ascended, I am talking about best equipment from all the characters i have) → ask again, pay attention to everything and try my best

Here is what I most of the time see:
→ new encounter → say nothing, ask noone, just play it → use the character with the lowest level/gear to level him (even though you get no exp at all at this event) → play completely for myself → someone right next to me in downstate? I don’t care. killing that champ that is almost at the gate? no I already did enough damage to get loot → be completely overwhelmed with the chain stage because I didn’t ask anyone what to do → fail, learn nothing out of it → receive loot.

And this is a huge problem and it gets even worse that people try to defend those players.

Completely wrong subforum but yeah.. would be kinda neat I guess.

And on the other hand you have achievements where people seem to think that they are forced to “google” or use the mapchat. Why don’t you complain about that?

I think engineer is your best bet in that case.
The grenade kit gives you lots of conditions + lots of damage + you are less dependend on precision. Besides that you still have 2 more utility slots which you can use for example bomb kit for some nice combofields and/or the toolkit for blocks, cc and confusion.

But you can.

Zet.9130:

I’ve been working on Magic Find and can barely see the end of the tunnel. But I can see it! It hit me that once I’ve maxed out MF I’ll have no use for Essence of Luck. Has Anet indicated that there may be a future use for this rather specific currency?

At this point you could just sell your greens/blues.

Brynhildr.7598:

I was just walking around The Crown Pavilion area in Divinity’s Reach when I saw these two statues of the watchknights that Queen Jennah used in the Queen’s Jubilee release back in August! They clearly have strings attached to their 5 parts, just like the Marionette has! What this means is that the Devs have been busy working on it for at least 4 months and this is just a small hint about it! How cool is that?

You mean august 2007?

Rawkan.3749:

Is there a way to gain the movement buff without warhorn later on?

Signet of Rage, your elite.

I did it solo with an exo/asc warrior, you should be able to do it with your friend.

I don’t think GS is that great in open world pve because lots of mobs move. But I wouldn’t use warhorn in open world pve either.
Sword + Axe for example gives you a lot of mobility with the sword 2 leap, nice bleeding stacks + decent AoE dmg + fury.

Pretty much sounds like you just wanted to show these pictures and used an old topic as an excuse so it won’t be moved to linksville.

Sweetbread.2679:

I think the better question is why is it called Guild Wars 2 when it has absolutely nothing in common with the first game. Why even make a sequel?

You could ask the same question about Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and all those other “big ips”.

Because the game is not about getting a precursor?

Xyonon.3987:

Yea I was disappointed too. The weapon and armor designer of the game are terrible, REALLY TERRIBLE. They are unable to create cool weapons or armor sets, just once every 10 pieces is a “ok” one and 1 of 100 is a WOW one.

They should fire them all and ask random gamers about weapons >_> It’s terrible to see all those “reskins” wich are probably made within an afternoon …

They have to create weapons that sell, which means they need to be shiny, comically oversized and generally more appealing to the younger crowd (which is the largest demographic in the game, I think).
I think they did a very good job with the ascended weapons/armors.

Been asked before. Probably not due to the clipping issues.

Right that makes sense. Lord knows we wouldn’t want there to be any clipping issues.

Only repeating what has been said in the many, many other threads on the same subject, and on the wiki. If you don’t like the answer, well I don’t know what else to tell you. Go complain to the devs but don’t expect any other answer.

BTW, how would you handle the clipping with all the other back items? should they all just be removed and replaced with capes?, Toggled? What would you suggest?

IMHO, I would much rather see capes, but capes are not compatible with the current back item models so something would have to go.

Well I’d say those capes are backitems aswell. So you either have a cape or a quiver, book, …

KerosAohco.6413:

Infinite Light allows you to choose from a list of prefix stats; i.e. Berserker, Knights, etc.

Just craft/buy it, double click it, and choose what stats you want. Unlike legendaries the choice is permanent. Obviously.

2 of them.. you are crazy. Nice choice though! jelly

The tamini meta event in harathi hinterlands comes to my mind, when you have to kill a lot of spawning taminis → EXP Booster + Killstreakbooster +X% EXP food +x% EXP oil = lots of exp, I am pretty sure it is at least 1 guaranteed level for like 5 minutes of fighting horseman.

Take your time with your first 1-2 characters, don’t rush to 80. Learn to utilize the dodge feature as much as possible although it my seem to be useless in the regular openworld. Don’t stick with just 1 or 2 weapon-sets, try out as many combinations as possible, change your build from time to time. Read the stuff that’s on the screen!

I actually have the same problem but I lost any hopes, I completed the area multiple times with other characters and I double checked the map with my character aswell, I even counted all the POIs I have discovered (counted 37).. It still says 36 even though I discovered all of them.
May this be a known bug? That one of them shows up as discovered but actually isn’t?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil_of_Paralyzation

The duration increase of various stun and daze effects vary wildly and often round up to the next second.

There doesn’t seem to be a clear answer on that

We don’t know. We know that we get there might be a season 2 this year but we don’t know for sure, also there is a big feature patch coming early summer but again we don’t know what it does contain. You have to be very patient this year, I think.

Archomeda.6472:

Don’t forget it’s 2 months for the last FOUR patches. Did you really think they would go all-in in the first patch? I expect this patch is more like a build-up towards the next 3.

But weren’t all patches before also a build-up towards the whole “now we know why scarlet did this and that” ?

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?

Because leveling is boring the second time around, let alone the 3rd 4th and 5th. That being said, WvW is a lot more fun to level in and you get more money out of it. I gained 8 levels in 2 hours the other night on my warrior and made about 6g.

So tab -> auto attack isn’t boring?

Oh the whole game is boring for the leveling part after your first character, I was just agreeing the champ train is good for being able to watch TV or alt tab to another game. It’s not the quickest way, but it lets me get stuff done around the house rather than doing another mind numbing grind

Not sure how getting to know your new class is something boring. Also the story changes depening on your choices at least until we meet Kormir 2.0 + i’m pretty sure after your first lvl 80 character you still have some undiscovered areas left in the game.
