Guild Wars 2

I’d even take a LA full of rubbish if everything is needed is back there… xD
Oh well and Scarlet and her army is kicked out off course.

I’m not so sure about the video myself but I’d hope for it.

And yeah, the grove ended up with an overflow because the crafting stations are the easiest accessible as they’re next to the auction hall.

Hi there.
So… I go to kill Tequatl every single day – at least once, if no helping hand is needed. I try to help getting this organized every day, as people tend to be lazy, coming to the map waiting for someone to act for them to put their fingers into the lootchest.
So… I do the east defence… I’m not standing in the zerg lazily…

I’ve killed that thing countless times… So far so good…
A friend of mine, who killed tequatl only half that often than I did actually got 3(!) of his weapon chests. His first one in his 3rd attempt, the other 2 while he was with me in the east defence or east canon defence.

It’s not that I think that he didn’t deserve it, but seriousely, there has to be a way for others to be able to gain a silly chest too! It’s getting terribly frustrating to see everyone walking away with at least one chest, but feels like getting punched in the guts if they even aquire two or more of these. Everything I want from that dragon is ONE single chest, only ONE, and that is not even for the weapons being ascended.

I have already crafted my ascended gear. Armor AND 4 weapons alone on my main. I just want the SKIN of the sunless scepter, nothing more! (It doesn’t have my stas anyway) but there is NO way to get it. A lot of people are just after the skin, which isn’t even craftable.

Why isn’t there a token system, that rewards… let’s say randomly 1-5 tokens for each exotic dragon chest you open, and once you have aquired 100 of these, you can exchange them for either the ascended receipes to craft one weapon of choice yourself, or AT LEAST (and what would make a lot of people happy) the skin of one weapon of choice? It would still show that you did a lot to earn it, and you’d at least FEEL rewarded in some way.

Seeing other people walking away with their chests all the time while you get absolutely nothing for the kill each day, while they claim: “Uh yeah that was my first time killing Tequatl and look what I just got?” is just… well… I really don’t see a reason to keep it up anymore… -.-"

I know it’s all about luck but in the end it’s plain unfair.

PS: Why aren’t these chests tradeable for at least 5-10 minutes? Shouldn’t be enough time to get much gold from it, but people who got 3 of them and do not need them could still send them to friends who fight side by side with them and never get one.

I think it looks perfectly fine the way it is. I love it.
Just need beautiful white angelwings now…

Okay… After being to LA certain times I just needed a break from grinding mats and heirlooms… So I went to the new ‘HUB’ in the Keep in Gendarran Fields.

And guess what? Off course I’ve been granted a place on an overflow. For hours… Yeah so I went to the grove instead. Guess what? Yeah, right, overflow again. Because… teh crafting stations are easily accessible. Lornar’s and Bloodtide coast, overflow.

Not to mention that this also affects the tries on the new worldboss… (Well we did it anyway. <3 Riverside!)

But… now really.. We NEED and we MISS a REALLY central spot on OUR homeworlds where we can gather to find activities of our liking, people to chat with and whatever else. Everyone is scattered around the world now, which makes me rather want to log off if I don’t have anything left to do, then just standing around waiting to be able to go back to MY server.

I don’t think that it would be good to keep this situation longer than necessarily possible. I don’t care for the airship nor the little area in Divinity’s Reach. I can access both, and it’s not the same. Not at all. (In case you noticed it yourselves by now, Divinity’s Reach doesn’t even have an daily activity NPC, while the airship does.)

I really hope you guys ARE plaing to provide a proper Capital again. I don’t care if it’s a rebuild of LA or something new, as long as we DO get one.
If you tried to make your story more vivid by letting us suffer from getting scattered all around Tyria… Well nice try, but I don’t think that I like THAT realistic impacts from the Living Story at all.

Anyway.. I just HAD to say this. I’ve spent 1800Gems to change my homeserver, I LOVED the one I chose, and now I’m not getting to see it anymore for… well… who knows how long. This is just frustrating. Even being in the same party doesn’t bring you to the same overflow, and the joining and struggeling with full overflows just kees getting more and more annyoing every day.

Nausicaa.9563:

Rubble resets every hour

Does it? I went and tried to look the same rubble a couple hours later, and nothing

They don’t…

And well… 7 or 8 days wouldn’t be the problem, if I wouldn’t need hours to find these things at all. and that is, while ignoring ANY event. I need the blades too, so that means extra hours, if I will ever be done with the heirlooms. Plus the repaircosts for dying and running the same way again again and again… minus the fun, because it’s no fun at all.

Do they really?

If they wanted us to have only ONE of both tonics they could have made it a choice for the meta, or restrict buying to ONE of choice ONLY.
I can see NO reason why they had to make it a grind like hell job.
If you’re through with it in 20 mins… well congratulations! I’ve spend ONE HOUR for nothing because I can’t find anything. Either that or I’m constantly dying and dying and dying again because I seem to be alone searching for them.

THis is the worst grind ever… -.-
I’ve spent 5 hours in this maze now, for 25(!) heirlooms… Yeah…!

Seriousely… if you get… well say… 35 heirlooms a day…
Which means for me, that I need at LEAST 3 hours to gather all the spots while totally ignoring events… while I still need blades… —> 2 more hours…

Equals 5 hours per day, FOR SEVEN DAYS…
Anet, could you PLEASE increase the droprate of the heirlooms in the lootbags?
This is impossible plus NO FUN AT ALL.

And I’m talking about ONE potion. I just said goodbye to the 2nd one…
Not to mention that there are people like me who are in a great disadvantige in the first place if they can’t see very well. It’s a true hell in LA for me. It feels more like dying through just to get what I want… And that… for almost all the playing time I have… yeah well… very funny..

…may you ever grow in our hearts…

Well here’ s a little video some friends and I from Drakkar-Lake, Riverside and Elona Reach did. I decided to provide the English version too. There it goes:

Hi there!
I truly love this cute little gimmick, with one little exception:
Please rise the duration of being tiny or huge to at least 5 minutes! Or even endless (until you eat the right chocolate or take of the box)

It’s such a cool thing, but tends to get annoying quickly if you have to redo the whole thing because you grow or shrink in the middle of an emote. (Plus, I hate having to spam emotes because of this)

Well yeah, that’s all. Otherwise, I REALLY LOVE THIS!

More Story less grind.
I liked it that way.

Well… I’m way more intrested in PvE, I agree that the living Story does belong everywhere, but not into WvW/PvP maps.
Actually, I think the EotM Map has potential and has some funny gameplay to offer. BUT: Not under the condition of force.

I mean… okay it wasn’t hard to get the Golem parts, we have Deso on our side and it was quite early… well… but it really doesn’t belong there.

There are several Problems with forcing PvE’ers into WvW and vice versa.

WvW’ers complain about the PvE-“noobs”, stealing places other WvW’ers would Need to “do their PvE”, or as Anet Forces us, to complete the WvW maps… Not only is this NO fun for People who have never – and would never have been to WvW otherwise, we come into a mostly unfriendly Environment. WvW’ers who love to kill everything low ranked, and then even start to get mean. We can see all kinds of herrassement towards PvE’ers in various mapchats or on WvW maps…

PvE’ers complain because they HAVE to enter WvW to complete their maps, first step to a legendary weapon. But as that isn’t enough, someone mentioned that now, WvW rank 30 is needed to buy the gift of war (or however it is called) from the WvW vendor. Perfect plan, Anet. Not, that I would Need a Legendary weapon, I don’T even like the design of them, but… WHY can’t People finally understand that they do not help both Player sides?

WvW’ers and PvE’ers won’t get along, no matter how much ANet tries to force it. It didn’T work in any game before, and GW2 won’t be the first game who would get These Groups together.

Just Keep WvW and PvE clean and let your Players choose WHAT they WISH to Play, and not what you force them into. If you want to please your PvP Players then STOP forcing PvE Players into THEIR terrytory, otherwise both playerbases are dissappointed, what I find is easy to understand.

Yeah well… Me, for myself, I don’t see the Point of entering the EotM again, I got the parts, had some fun, but it’s still not my type of gaming. I still wonder why Anet thinks being overrolled by a zerg if you don’t like PvP in the first place would make Players consider to do it ever again after finishing the forced parts AND being Canon Food for bored WvW’ers who don’t want PvE’ers there as well.

(And if ANYONE found the Option to turn of Auto correction in the Internet Explorer, pleas pm me… It places capitals where they don’t belong… -.-)

I love the design of These weapons, although I don’t really have a character to use them with. Been thinking about the pistols anyway. I always wanted pistols that looked more real or Colt like.

But sadly Anet tries to sell RNG boxes again… I mean… seriousely… Keys were a few percents off… until the day before patch day. Usually we got a patch preview, this time we didn’T get one. So anyone who might have gotten some keys now has to pay the full Price. Leaves a bitter taste imho… Plus, hey ANet, V-Day is coming, couldn’t you at least ONCE let us pick the weapon of our choice directly from the Gemstore? Even at 500Gems each? Would have made a better gift anyway.

I don’t really feel like spending incredible amounts of Gold or real Money on These chests. THere’s too much stuff in there that doesn’t even feel useful, nor worth the Money/Gold. Plus I’m tired of paying other People for their luck, really.

Whenever there’s a chest with Special loot (weapon boxes, minipets, Skins and so on) I have to buy them from TP because even with 133 percent MF accountwide my luck seems to be the worst ever on such things, so my Gold sink is high enough. x_X

I really gets annoying. Not to mention the fact that 5 tickets per weapon at a later times is… well no coment… you could make up the costs for yourselves…

I don’t really have a Problem with the cash shop, as you can also use ingame Gold to buy stuff you want on there, but I’m not willing to go with this RNG stuff anymore.

The best coment I got was while donating 1 copper (just wanted the daily achievement so… xD)

Spreading love and Joy on wintersday. And hugs for all!
Even shortly before the fight against Tequatl.

Just couldn’t take pics of the love-Zerg, the game might have kicked me out then. xD

I don’t know if These flowers are popular outside of Germany, but they’re called Christmas stars over here, they’re available in red, pink and White, usually with a lot of silver or golden glitter on them.

Oh and if you wonder where we got the hearts from, just whisper me ingame. They work on everyone in range, even NPCs or pets.

You wouldn’t wanna hear the protests if Anet Chose the quaggan…

Yeah I really hope to find something in the patch notes…
If not well… then I have to Keep my changes.

Yepp, exactly this.
I remember having a hard time to figure out how / where to find the armor I needed, and had to read everything thrice to not buy the wrong stuff. ^^

Being able to link the stuff would be very neat too.

I really hope they’re not RNG.
I’m missing the toy Golem for my newly created Asura. xD

But if the bar is full on Dec 10th…
Wouldn’t it be strange if the Tower stayed then? Or do we just get another chapter of the Story by then?

Personally I’d love to finally destroy the Tower. Ò,.,ó°

SCARLET DID!

No Need to question that! ~.~°
Didn’t you already know? O.O!

It would be nice if the old minis were at least tradeable.
I have like 3 snowmen, 4 festive Golems and 4 airships… o.o
But they didn’t do it last year, why should they do it this year?
At least they seem to be away from These RNG boxes in the shop. Given that they put something new into the shop every tuesday, there may be a Chance for a mini-tri pack that includes all three of them, with the Need for another one if you want to create Foostivuu.

Doesn’t anyone else find it sad that it’s more waiting for the next shop update than waiting for the next living Story release by now? o.o" Ist more like grinding for gems than anything else anymore.

I’d wish for more rewards like the balloon or the flame of kryta in the future. They were neat, and I liked that stuff so much!

Hey I’ve been dissappointed with Halloween too. Mostly, because I haven’t been able to complete the Story achievements I didn’t complete last year. Instead, we got new ones. But what bugged me the most was the missing scavenger hunt….

I was SO hoping to get a Chance to get the burning book I couldn’t get last year because my main was too low in Level. No, nothing… :S

As for the Minis this year… well… I was hoping for new toys, as we had a Chance to buy them all at the gemstore last year.

The only Thing I could use maybe would be the toy Golem for my new Asura. And guess what? They’re random… -.-" And I bet they won’t be tradeable so that you could Exchange them with someone else who’d like to trade his for another… I can only hope That I’ll be lucky enough…

I really loved Wintersday last year, I loved how Tix arrived in each town on a different day, until he went to LA. Seems like that won’t happen this year though.

At least Anet fixed the unbreakable bell. It now Plays for one hour instead of 30 seconds each time you pull it out. I have asked for this for so Long, and then they did that without even mentioning it. I just found out about that by accident.

I hope they do NOT torture us with stupid scarlet for the rest of the year anymore… o.o"
I’d take some more of Sclarlet’s insta kill gifts for wintersday, that you could actually send to a friend (or enemy xD) instead of keeping it, but that’s all! No Need for more Scarlet during the Holidays at all!

I mean… I have my Family. They’re fairly enough… They’re like 10 Scarlets alltogether so… that’s enough! xD

I love it too.
I’d love to see another Musical Instrument on the shop or somwhere else in the game too. :O

See Picture and sig for answer.

8/10

The Colors of the leafes are beautiful, but I feel the pinkish Skin doesn’t fit that well. A pale greyish green or blue would do better I think :O

This is my main, after Anet forced me to completely redesign him after more than a year because they ruined the glow on my nightmare armor… -.-" He used to have caithe’s Colors before, which I liked and would gladly Change back to if they’d EVER fix what they did.

I got a toxic spore Skin after buying mine for 10gold the first evening of the release (because I knew my luck, and considering that they’re above 20g by now it was a good idea)

Had to open more than 30 chests though. Other than that… I didn’t get anything Special, nor the mini.

All this guesting can’t be a sollution for annoying Content like that, or the total dumbness and egoism of Players, who rush through the Tower, although there would be enough People to actually zerg through with no loss, and then die like stupid Lemmings over and over again, what takes thrice the time a random zerg would Need to climb the top.

You can NOT do the Tower solo or with a handful of People if idiots like mentioned above die over and over again, pull their Mobs into you, AND Count for scaling, which gives you 4 silvery champs in one room, plus a handfull ov normal or Veteran ones… that’s too much considering that maybe only 5 People are fighting while the rest Plays Lemmings for good.

Next time we don’t Need Events blocking the way, but a door that Counts for every single Player (or formed Groups) that require a bunch of items to teleport you through which you can only get by the Monsters in that particular area) to ensure that People HAVE to fight to help themselves and others. Maybe in combination with Events that rewward the last required Piece.

Would be annoying too, but that’d definitely prevent rusthers from just rushing through everything.

There seem to be 4 Groups of fractals right now, from what I’ve experienced. 4 starter fracs, 4 round 2 fracs, 4 round 3 fracs and 3 or 4 (not sure) Boss fracs.

You can try to force getting Ascalon by joining and leaving until you actually get that as your first one, and THEN use the LFG while you’re in or get your friends to join.

It doesn’t help with the volcano though, since that one, and the jade ocean thingy are the ones that I’m still missing. I don’t care about that anymore, but still, getting Mai Trin or the molten Thing there over and over again as a Boss is boring. Not to mention that you don’t have a Chance to get your chest if the molten coloss there kick’s you off the platform. You can’t revive, and if you do you’re automatically out… Well meh…

There’s no Point in visiting the fractals ever again for me… xD
I don’t see a challenge in randomness, not even if it raises in difficulty. yawns

It’s 6:30am on the 4th of December right now.
Guess it won’t be updated until afternoon.
There is a lot more that Needs to be done anyway. o.o"

I’d really like an official Statement somwhen soon. I want to know if I HAVE to re-design my main if I want his nightmare Robes to glow, or not.
Fortunately I got a total makeover kit from the 10k Points chest, but still… I wouldn’t like that, and would definitely undo the changes as soon as the glow on my armor is back but… I just can’t stand it the way it is right now!

I actually loved how the Change of the T3 medium came out. I never had the Intention to buy it until the changes occured. It actually looked pretty good afterwards, but T3 light didn’t.

Now it’s back to the old Version I’d never have bought so I can feel your pain. Although the Change back to the usual state doesn’t hurt me too bad, as the Colors I Chose do still look okay. The missing glow itself while using dark Colors hurts far more, on EVERY glowing armor including nightmare. That’s what makes me mad.

I wonder why People even complain that they have to ‘farm’ AR for… hell yeah for THE ONE AND ONLY dungeon that ever required it, and that WIL ever require it!

If you want to go to fractals LVL50+… just because you caaaaan… then you will have to gain AR.. That’s it…

Personally, I don’t even see a piint in doing such pointless stuff at all.

I did every fractal on LVL 1-5 and I’m already tired of this. I’d never even wate a thought on getting full ascended gear with full and highes possible AR just to do fractals over and over and over again only to be able to say: theheheee I’m one of the very Little handfull of Players that made it to frac75+! omg… xD

There’s a lot more and better stuff to do ingame and RL, really… ^^

Not to mention that – if you needed asc gear just to actually HAVE it there are ways to get your full set (except the stuff that isn’t implemented yet) without Setting a single foot into fractals at all.

Fractals suck, especially for the silly Overflow in LA every evening. xD

Mine doesn’t glow anymore, because I use a very dark green (midnight green). It’s really dissappointing.
It used to glow very visable before, which was perfectly fine.

The Colors and textures of the cultural armors seem to be back to their original state, which is good, as they always looked like that but…

THIS time the update effects the nightmare armor too, which actually ruined it for me. It’s not about the Colors at all, they’re perfect, but just because we wear darker colored leafes doesn’t mean we don’t want to glow at all!

I’ve been wearing this armor (nightmare light / male) for more than a year now, and I LOVED it to be colored in a dark green, therefore glowing in a bright green at night.

But now it doesn’t even glow at all, because the Color is too dark. If I want my glowing Color back, I’d have to Color it in a pale green, which makes it look horribly! The tweaks to the glowing shader ruined it. It should be set back to ist original state or there should be 2 shaders, one for the cultural clothes and another for the nightmare armors. It’s really frustrating. It was said NOT to touch the nightmare armors, but now they did, which is really making me angry. -.-"

I want my nightmare armor back the way it has ALWAYS been! I hate the new style. Dark Colors don’t have that much of a contrast on the skirt anyway, unlike light ones, but light ones often doesn’t fit or even look good. The lighter glowing Color DID bring a great contrast at night, but now it’s totally gone.

I’m still with the idea that the pale tree is a Champion of the sixth ‘jungle-dragon."
For the known reasons. Plus, we KNOW there is at least ONE more tree, but we don’t know anything about ist dream, since Mellyck lost his mind. He wanted to go back home and bring more sylvari to fight the nightmare court. buuut he never came back.

Either, this was because he didn’t find back, or maybe… because the dream the sylvari from the other tree shared is actually the nightmare too and they just laughed at him or rather killed him for the only idea he had come up with. We don’t know.

Besides the theory that the pale tree is a Dragon Champion that was corrupted to be good instead of sharing the nightmare, I always thought that the nightmare court are sylvari that are closer to their nature (given that they’re minions) than the dreamers) They just don’t know it themselves.

The nightmare court wanted to create their own Society, but I always wondered why an ‘own’ Society had so much of the behaviour of minions in the end. So I don’t think that the theory that the nightmare is actually Dragon corruption goes against the theory of the pale tree being a Champion.

I don’t see another reason for sylvari popping up in tyria anyway. I think the nightmare should have been the ‘true’ dream, but the pale tree reverted it. (we are told to FIGHT the elder Dragons, specifically a plant themed Dragon in our dreams)

What scarlet has stated in the new fractal seemed to be intresting too, although it makes me sick that she’s connected to the thaumanova catastrophe AGAIN! But well.. I hope it all leads to something intresting SOON.

Marquie Thomas.1873:

…kristen ruined the nightmare armor which was fine as is

YES! Because a light colored nightmare light Looks horrible! -.-"

As said before, restoring the old glow shader OR adding a seperate Color Panel for glow only should solve most of the issues. OR applying the old glow-shader to nightmare armors only.

I’m happy with how the cultural armors look like again, although I feel T3 medium could use some more glow on its back, even T3 light could have the back glowing too, but it’s okay.

But the nightmare armor which shouldn’t have been affected in the first place is ruined.

And still I got used to the heavy glowing of the cultural armor within this 4 weeks, the issue was just about the textures anyway, now it’s gone again… meh…

I’m so demotivated by now because (it hasn’t affected him before) now the armor of my MAIN is R_U_I_N_E_D…

I have 13(!) Sylvari right now, and he’s my favorite of all times… I didn’t even EXPECT this would happen. I thought: Well gladly he wears nightmare, nothing to worry. When I read that Nightmare now IS affected in the patch notes… It made me feel sick, because I literaly KNEW this wasn’t going to be good. I logged in, it was night, and I felt like crying… Haven’t played him much since then, unless I had to…

I really hope the nightmare armor gets its old glow back. As for the cultural armors… It would be nice if there was a combination of the old textures plus the new (and now almost completely removed) glow from before to please everyone.

They made the textures pretty nice again (although I got used to how it has been altered) but they should’ve left the glow shader untouched. I bet it would look a lot better or everyone if they take back the changes to the shader.

It’d look a lot better again if the changes to the glow shader would be taken back.
Either that or an own dye pattern for the glow itself…
I’m still frustrated with how my nightmare robe Looks now. It really hurts that it completely misses it’s glow it had all the time.
Although it was dark green (almost black) it had light green glow-spots, which brought a nice contrast at night (he glows in a pale green himself, too)
It was just perfect. And now… it stays dark. Not even the slightes sign of a glow.

My ele isn’t affected, his nightmare armor is dyed in a poisonous green, it still glows the way it should.

Shouldn’t it be possible to create a second shader and only tie it to the nightmare armor? o.o" I don’t even complain that just when I go used to the Christmas-tree like glowing on my T3 light it’s suddenly gone. Therefore the armor Looks nice again, but nightmare… why? Why why why why why?

Did any of the devs even LOOK ath the light nightmare armor before releasing the patch? Darker Colors lack contrast anyway, but they had a brilliant contrast at night when they started glowing. Now… there’s no contrast anymore… (Plus personally, I feel that the nightmare light (male) doesn’t even look any good if dyed in a light Color. It gives a plastic-like look to it)

What did you do to the glowing? >_<
My nightmare armor doesn’t glow at all anymore! (light/male)
It DID glow, although I dyed it dark before, which was fine… and now… the glow isn’t even noticeable! WHY? -.-
Do you expect everyone to run around in bright and eye-hurting Colors if they want glow at all? I’m really dissappointed by now.

If you tie glowing to the Color Chosen why don’t you make the glowing an EXTRA Color space then, so that we can have glow even if we use darker dyes?

Why do you always ruin everything that was good as it has been? This is just… well I’m speechless… My main doesn’t look the way I liked him anymore…

Okay… Sylvari have asura themed Tier weapons too. Maybe because both races reside in maguuma jungle, or anet did just Forget to fix this.

As for the Story… oookay I’m with you too. I couldn’t stand Scarlet from the beginning on, but since she (or rather Anet) ruined TA for me, I even hate her. And there’s no way she could ever reverse that again. Also, it’s always the same. rolleyes Oooh Scarlet did it! And what? OOOOH SHE RAN OFF AGAIN… How surprising!

I cannot even take her serious. Honestly, if Anet tries to give mor depth to the Sylvari race there is a really nice theory out there regarding Mordremoth and the Pale Tree, that’d do a lot better than Scarlet. Even another Dragon would…

As for the Tower itself (excluding Scarlet) it is just one of These Content patches that brings out all the egoism of SOME Players who ruin the fun for everyone else. And even while I hate being egoistic, I’ll NEVER climb up that stupid Tower again and just stay at the chest, using the WvW bank to get my daily key for good. (Or having Access to the instance)

Congratulations!
It’s because of People like you that this Kind of Content completely Fails…
Go Play an egoshooter instead…. rolleyes

You should receive a 3 day ban just for your Statement here really. People like you ruin the Content for lots of People and you’re even proud of it… I really can’t understand bummers like you…

Honestly… All These alt+F4 tips and stuff are wrong… Just as wrong as all the others that rush their way through the Tower, pull the Mobs into you, which make you die, while they die three Corners further. Then they run again and do the same.

If you search for a Group for Clearing (which isn’t THAT much of a time Investment compard to dying 5 or more times and having to start over) and even STATE that the Group should stick together and look out for each other… you fail too…
The first one who gets the opportunity will run with their own egoism, if someone dies, they let them, because there is ONE Veteran they’d have to fight… one vet for 3 or 4 People… if that is too much… Why are they playing a MMO? It doesn’t take longer than 5 minutes and the Group is seperated and then dismissed.

Even smaller Zergs just run and don’t fight! The best Thing is parking an alt at the chest, and transfering the keys to him via WvW. Trying to climb up every day is a) time consuming and b) kitten frustrating… I can’t Count how many times I died because I tried to help and then found myself dead too, to start all over again.

I made my way up 3 times now.

1st day, 1 hour after patch release… 1st floor was almost clean, second floor not, and there were a lot of Events spread. There was a Zerg… even another but the second one didn’t even clear the way anymore. I tried to follow them, then fell behind because of that nasty toxic spore effects or being feared off one of the wooden ways… Not to mention all the knockbacks, rooting and whatever that reaches an annoying number there. Using 3(!) Revival pearls while my mate had to start over saved it for me, I could die my way to the top. Very funny Content, yeah… That’s the way I like it. /irony off

Second time… Used my Necro too, there were Groups of 5-8 People who… guess what? Just ran instead of fighting, pulling Mobs into others, dying like stupid Lemings over and over again. It took me 2 hours and some VERY CLEAR words (not to say ALMOST flaming) to find 3 People for an organized Group. A handful of others who where Standing around while I ranted followed us. And guess what? They finally CLEARED the way, the even looked out for others. If someone got feared down, they jumped, fought the Mobs and made their way up again, all together, no one was left behind. We even rescued a few who followed us. Took us no tine to climb up toghether.
Why can’t People just do so all the time? What’s so hard about it here?

3rd time… I used my Ranger, who seemed to do a lot better than my Necro. I made my way through the whole Tower. 1rd floor was pretty easy, even with one or 2 solo fighters. There ARE some Mobs that could surely kill you if you’re alone and do NOT run.
Well second floor.. there were Events… and guess what? Everyone was running and running trying to avoid killing everything and then dying somewhere in the eventspot… Sadly, the Event MUST HAVE BEEN DONE to open the way… Nobody dared. I died, and then started over again. I came to the same spot, saw all the dead People until FINALLY 5 People came who revived and did the Event because they had to. Off course I joined them. They actually fought about half the Mobs in the way but not everything. Those who got feared or stuck or whatever were left behind. That happend to me too, because almost every mob can root you… -.- Yeah well I died and had to wait for the next Group of People that actually cared… and it took time.

The last Group that came along HAD to fight because a Boss blocked the way… Finally I made my way up there, and my Ranger is staying there for good! I’ll NEVER and I mean that: NEVER climb up that stupid Tower again. For NOBODY and for no Gold in the world!

Next time it should be completely instanced for five People or easy enough to satisfy the egoistic runners (as they wouldn’t fight anyway) AND those who try to make their way up on their own.

All that zerging that actually doesn’t even get zerged anymore is pretty annoying and no funny game experience. That doesn’t reflect the taste of anyone. Even those who cry for harder Content just rush through, leave everyone else behind and laugh at how easy it was while those who actually PLAY the Content (and try to fight) suffer under their behaviour. And that is… KITTEN (you wouldn’t want to know which swear word I intended to use… coughes)

Well… so far, my 2 Cents….

I doesn’t even have attackskills, but it has no time Limitation on being transformed instead….
The fastest skill on one still has the Mummy from the infinite Halloween Tonic. (But I think there are Mummy Tonics which aren’t infinite too.

Plus, leveling crafting through Exploration is pretty easy, there are tons of guides out there, but read them carefully before starting.

I’m in with the Sylvari Antagonist…
But I’m not with plant-themed stuff.
For any race, there are thousands of possibillities with clothing…
For Sylvari who want to stick to their leafs in clothing and weaponing there isn’t so much choice. 4 sets for each armorclass. Every other race has A LOT more!
Only a few weapons, and yet there are only 3 Fitting backpieces, and SADLY they’re not even dyeable.

There are only 2 townclothes for Sylvari, the Standard one and the cooker’s Outfit… Compared to all the other stuff… that’s NOTHING.

So stop whining and make your choice out of what you have, and that’s more than 5 times more of a choice than Sylvari Players have.

It shouldn’t be tradeable.
It involves accountbound material, just like ascended weapons.
Therefore, those who want it should make it themselves.

IF they’d make the 3 most needed materials tradeable, they could do so with the Tonic too, but everything higher than those plain materials should be left accountbound.

It’s a pity how many People actually destroy ascended material they don’t Need if they don’t want an ascended weapon… >_<"

Well… pretty big balls for such a tiny sausage… xD
Other than that… I did NOT have that Impression before you noticed it. I guess that means I’m not as perv than I thought… xD

The worst Thing of this “open world Thing” that leads to the instances is that even zergs do not really clear the area. They just run through, don’t care for the People struggeling or who are dead.
My friend died when we ran with a zerg. I couldn’t rezz him because NO ONE cleared the Veterans and whatever ran around there, it was just rushing and running so I tried to make my way through, while he had to start at the beginning, not finding enough People to make it to the top.
I got killed before the entrance to the room with the chest and the instance and guess what? People ran over me in zergs but no one even dared to rezz me. I had to die my way through using Revival pearls.

If more People just “park” an alt on the chest, give him Access to their bank and put the keys IN the bank…. well…. who will then ever run the whole way?

And then, all the People hanging around in that area Count for scaling. Too bad if no one is there to help.

I don’t think that this is the best design Anet could do. What I know is: Once I’m done I’ll never set foot into this again….

We did the dungeon THRICE now…
First time, my mate died… okay, but it was the first run so… doesn’t matter…
Second run, we both died… so well…
THIRD run, 5 People this time. ONE single downed, no one dying throughout the whole dungeon, and no one of us got the mini, nor the achievement…

It’s starting to get really annoying…
