Just finished this one myself. We got to him, he dropped the hammer but spawned no adds, so our group was forced to suicide. We decided to give it another shot and found that his health had not reset and we were able to complete the fight after that. ( we had another wipe in there but again no health reset)
Still very annoying to have this broken when they “fixed” it
His health don’t matter as it regen if needed. Actually after seal hp reached 0, mobs started spawning. Then after a while hammer apeared on ground, you have to take it, kill one mob and struck it once again when seal have 0 hp.
As sb said before, if there is no glowing purple orb around a seal you have to reset to checkpoint until it appear. There is a platform on the right where you can jump to death (to avoid repair costs)
I would like to choose a weapon(s) that I can stick with on that character and not feel like I’m kittening myself by not constantly swapping weapons in the middle of a fight.
Impossible. You want to discard HALF of you weapon skills, and still have the same efficiency as player who use them? Is like you want to use only 3 of your equip slots and have the same stats as players who use all 6. I don’t mean you would play bad, but you would play worse then when you play with fully using your toon abilities.
Well ranged/melee combo is the best bet if you don’t want to switch it in mid combat. If retreating from melee and changing to ranged is acceptable to you.
I noticed that dyes don’t drop or drop very rarery in higher lvl zones (70+) but got them at the same rate as earlier in lower zones (up to lvl 50).
It’s not that i kill more enemies or collect more plants there but in Brisban Wildlands i got 2 dyes in hour of play, when in Orr i played for 6-7 hours and got none. I think that there is mechanism to encourage farming outside Orr.
Or more simply place of dye in drop list changed (lowered) so now blue/green override it. Don’t know how exactly drop works, but i think there is rating system. Bigger score = more and better items. And since place of dyes lowered you would have to actually have lower score, or you would get blue/green that is higher on drop list. If this is case, mf and better enemies actually decrease drop rate of dyes(low score) and increase drop rate of rarer equip (better score). It’s like you want to collect whites but because of your good score game drops you only blue and greens.
Don’t know much about Charr but we have to differentiate 2 things
1) Cannibalism as a food resource
2) Cannibalism as a religious practise
In case of most Cannibalism cultures in world Cannibalism is used as a religious practise, rather then main or secondary food source. Eating corpse have a meaning of paying respect for the dead, passing virtues of dead to others in tribe or gaining strength/wisdom from them. Generally there were whole ritual surrounding it.
The cases where Cannibalism was used as food resource are usually limited to one-time situations, and were not recurrent practise. Remember that humans are tribe species(and so are the Charr) and not lone predators. If you view cannibalism not in perspective of single person who is hungry but take a view of whole tribe/population it’s extremely inefficient as it’s lower population and it mean less offspring etc and so it lower they likeness of tribe/species survival with huge possibility of spreading disease. Eating people that die from other reasons is vary dangerous, since they were usually diseased, and the only way to get stable supply of not diseased meat is hunting/breeding. It can be a food resource in dire situations, when there is no other food resource, but is not option in other cases.
Please also note that although they were ceases of great hunger when many people die, there were not a case of food shortage so severe and long that would endanger existence of whole human population in region.
Just to correct:
There is a small chance (like 5%) to rally from the vengeance after kill even if not traited with “sweet revenge”, so it not totally useless, if you would die anyway. When traited this jump to 95% chance or so(surely not the 100% it says in desription), but what you have to remember is that, many things that rally you when downed don’t count as kills for vengeance, for example destroying turret would rally you when you down, but won’t rally you from vengeance. The same apply to pets, minions, totems etc.
And you don’t have to use it for rally. Use it as last resort skill if healing is impossible.
- ranged, raw, power based weapon to use in dungeons
- ability to dish out damage on par with other classes
(…)
I refuse to play warriors, I just hate the class lore (or the lack of one).
To bad, as i think that warrior sniper with rifle is what you looking for. Simple raw power on good distance.
1. Rebind A and D keys to strafe, not turning.
2. To turn around just hold right mouse button and move the mouse.
3. You won’t learn swimming by reading books or watching video about it. Practise movement and dodges. I find lone ettins quite good for learning.
4. Always move, try to circle around the enemies with strafe keys.
5. Watch your health, and if it’s low go for ranged(if melee) or simply run.
6. Try all weapons to look for the one you like the best.
As late teens you probably mean lvl 17-19. Try doing starting area of other races before going for these 15-25.
Btw I learned how and when dodge around lvl 60-70 And i still fail miserably sometimes.
I think the option is not there until you defeat all jade golems.
After that if you are head by beam and green sphere shows you should have now attack in 1 slot. you don’t have to use it immediately, but do not drop crystal.
How AI is forcing you to drop crystal? I can hold it for as long as I want…
I may add, that all jp could be done without Swiftness. Of course there are some elements where you would have to jump exactly from the tip of platform, so Swiftness help there.
When jumping especially in case of short platforms like bars etc it’s better to jump slightly in angle and not straight. It would widen a little your landing space and often distance between them is a lot of closer then your max jump.
Other tip is what i noticed in Mad Clocktower. Often platform would look like it’s ended when there is a little more of it, but it’s a little lowered so you don’t see it( I don’t mean lack of textures).
Ps. Never use area swiftness if there are other players next to you. I hate that. Few times I get a swiftness when in middle of jump. You can imagine how it “helped” me.
I can’t check it now, but if i remember correctly cultural armor have second line with sth like “usable only by asura”. It’s totally separate from soul/account bound line.
So my guess is, even if the method would work, you would be only able to equip it on other char of the same race.
Warriors have special downed ability called “vengeance”. If you activate it you imidiatly rise again from downed state. (regardless of downed health). But only for 15s after which you get deafeated. There is small chance when killing enemies to quit vengeance when alive. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vengeance
If you suddenly die after 15s or so from ralling from downed state it’s mostly becouse you activated Vengeance.
You can only increase condition duration by runes or sigil. All 80lvl exotics are all the same if it comes to stats. So the answer would be any exotic pistol.
And you can upgrade on weapon that already heave one upgrade. Previous one is simply replaced with new one. Remember that lvl of upgrade can’t be higer then lvl of the item.
No there is a “fire” effect different from “burning” conditions. If I remember correctly it has square icon like daze, passive signets or other special effects.
It don’t count as condition so all abilities that remove/change conditions don’t work.
I like that topic, not like the other that say that dungeons/game are too easy ;P
Well it’s best to do dungeons in mixed group where at least sb know what to do and explain it. If you are casual player and not experienced in dungeons, at lvl 60 or 40 you would need some 80s to cover you.
Watching dungeons runs on net(Youtube) also help if you don’t know what to do. And do you do them with guildies/friends or random people?
@damian Still I don’t know how you want to play. If you don’t know what you want or how you want to play it’s hard for other people to advise you sth.
“Dynamic level adjustment reduces a character’s attributes and level when the character’s level exceeds the area he or she is in. "
It mean all attributes are scaled whenever they come from gear or not.
If you mean "Skills and equipment are retained, so the area is easier because of this, but should still be challenging to play. "
it’s probably referring to fact that higher equip increase 3 stats rather then 1 or 2. There are also traits and skills unavailable at that lvl. They higher equip is also rarer. If you use all exotic, at lvl 30 area you would be scaled to theoretical lvl31 full exotic equip and not full blue or green.
Let me break it down for you:
1) Farming is nerfed
2) People flood the gem store for gold
3) Gem prices inflate, requiring much more real money per gold
4) The market has no influx of new gear coming in because there is no farming, thus, mats and gear will also have inflated prices.
5) ascended gear are introduced, requiring 25-75g per piece to get.
6) It costs dozens of times to get what you used to, pre nerf.
7) Want proof? Watch the news and spend some time thinking what happens to real world economies.
8) make a sandwitch and have a cup of coffee.
9) come back tomorrow to admit that you have no idea what you were talking about and that i have helped you find the nirvana of economics 101.
1) So you say.
2)You mean buy gems to convert them to gold, right?
3) It’s actually otherwise. The number of gold you can acquire from 1$ is steadly increasing.
4) So you say. And since the princes of mats increased so profit/gold from getting mats(farming) also increased. So you earn more gold from farming. So people start farming again…
5) They new. As more people start doing higher lvl of Fractals prices would decrease. And it’s mostly because many ascended gear is account bound.
6) So you say. I earn more then before. Maybe it’s your farming spot is outdated, and there is a better way/place to earn gold?
7) You too…
8) No thanks.
9) (<.<)
A full draconic Berserker’s set has moved from around 10g to 25g since the patch hit. A lot of other gear also.
Bullkitten at 14th November before patch Draconic Berserker’s set costed around 19g. You right that prices increased, but not as much as you say. Exotics armour are for now the highest end-game armour and25g is around week or two of gathering gold without any grinding and playing only few hours daily. And we talk about end game gear…
And i don’t see your reasoning. The reason prices increased are because people can pay more for that equip and it can sell for more. It would actually prove that gold is easier to earn. If getting gold would become harder all prices would actually decrease since value of gold would increase.
If they would make grinding for gold easier prices would increase even further. And blocking grinding is there to stop increasing prices.
Well i also wanted to kitten about how some people work in Sundays, but lucky when i logged around 11 GMT one of my guildies was still on overflow that have event ongoing.
So being over 3 hours late for event i still managed to do it, but thanks to my guild and not too short time frame
Well i understand that some events have timelimit, but this time frame was really short. If there was at least 14 hour frame or so, a lot more people could do it. For people who would do event a second or more times reward would be reduced. It’s not like doing it only once prevented some people to do this event two or more times. And they got a full rewards.
Dungeon is awesome. Because of that dungeon i could forgive you lag fest of the event.
@Crazyeye I only run it one time (3 instances) but there is a lot of jumping (they not hard, you can take your time, and you can get revived by team mates). Just use distance weapons to kill enemies. As for dodging. This game is about dodging and there is a lot. If you talk about stairs in asura instance, as long as 3 players finish it, they can disable it for others.
And there is a lot of team work involved. I can only hope that a new map would be at least half as great as new dungeon.
Well I prefer to die 1-2 times more and run dungeon 5 minutes longer, rather then play with some people that rush trough everything and spam about calculations of optimizing.
You can write whole book about min/maxing for all classed etc, but I and I think many other players don’t really care about it. I will still play warrior with shield even if i lose that 4 or 15% of whatever.
Of course people with totally random equip who don’t even know what they want to do, are bother. But that’s it. If somebody play glass cannon ele but know what to do, and how he/she want to play it, I see no problem.
As for your problem, go create/join some guild with min/maxers. There you can fast run with the most min/maxed optimized people and remember every corner of dungeons and debate about how turning 30° on second turn in CoF is 0.2 second faster then turning 45°.
Totally pointless.
If player can work as a team and at least listen what others say you can finish any dungeon even with guys with all blue equip.
If player can’t work as a team, don’t listen what you say on chat, and play their own solo way, every dungeon will be hard, even with all non-mf exotics and the best known build.
Personally, I never looked at any build site, never feel i have to optimize my build. I play like i like even if it’s not the best and most optimized play. Maybe because i play for fun and not for perfection.
@nethykins
There is no time window. I guess you can event log off for hour and as long as you are still in the party and your party would not finish dungeon you can still get in and continue. But yes, if you log off just before finishing dungeon and log in after your party kill the last boss it is too late.
Guess what? If it happens when fighting boss, try asking others if they can fall back and wait for you to log in.
Well I got disconnected from game when doing CoF and after log in, I could just go to dungeon door again and click “join my team”. As long as your team stays in dungeon you should be able to re-join them and get all reward. You can even join in the middle of dungeon if you join party with free spot. I think you can open chest if they appeared when you were in dungeon.
No no. You char in the mist received that exp. But all statistic in the mist are separated from these from PvE and WvW for fairness sake. But since there is no exp in the mist you received 0. And allowing gaining exp in mist from PvE could open a way for possible exploits.
If you accepted it before going or when you got in Lion Arch or travelled by WvW there would be no problem.
try: https://en.support.guildwars2.com/ – tell them time and area within it happened. Anet can see logs (and i don’t mean chat logs) so probably sb can see if they’re used exploit to get inside.
@Paulytz
Select enemy → right click on their portret → select raport and there will be a account name.
If armour repair costs were removed from WvW, which is probably why this nefarious technique is used, then we would probably see it done a lot less.
Repair cost is not a lot. 1,5 silver max for 80 lvl char.
And when you log out when downed you spawn dead in Lion Arch(one time i really lose connection when in WvW) so you have to still pay repair costs.
The only reason the do it is because you defeated their “glorious myself”. They are elementary school jerks(mentally at least) and will log off even if there will be no repair cost. Thankfully it only happened to me once.
There is no exp bar in the mist. Unlike WvW you are not boosted to 80 but granted perment 80 lvl. Skills, traits and equip and propably exp are handled separately.
Don’t remember if discovering Poi in Mist granted you exp or not, but i think not.
And experience was taken from you, because of cowardly running away. It’s your fault.
I disagree. Badges is easy to get if you are not zerging. It should stay the way it is.
If you running PvD with 30+ players there is no difficulty and honor to it. For what would you get that badge? For clicking “1” on your keyboard?
Running with 4-8 people reward you with more then 1 badges per kill, since sometimes i get 3-4 from one player. It depend on comparison of your force and enemy. If you win 8vs16 people you get a lot more badges then otherwise. Killing enemy if you have advantage of 10 to 1 would usually reward you nothing.
And about loot bags. Suck it, loot is for winners not whiners.
50 vs 20 of us (yes atm only 20 ppl in wvw vs 200+ enemies). In the arrowcart team 50+ ppl. They got trebuchet also.
You can’t do it. Even for the most elite and organized party it would be impossible without use of siege equip. You probably can’t even do siege and let that keep/castle to stack resources.
And even worse enemy is expecting you.
Say, do you take their resource camp before doing siege, prohibit enemy to reinforce it? My only advice is to go for other keep with rams and be fast about it. Capture and defend. Enemy can’t be everywhere.
I think you mistaking PvP with WvW.
Ps. It’s just a idea but maybe it would be wise to prohibit building siege equipment next to each other. Every equip would have their own area in with no other siege equip could be build. This area can be even a size of building circle. So it would be imposible to build several siege equip in the same space.
I disagree. Why NA→EU and EU→NA transfers are bad? It’s the only way for 24/7 play.
Separating the transfers now will only increase advantage for these servers that already have it’s night guard. And nightcapping is no problem if all servers have similar numbers of nightcappers.
I’m prefer making global servers, rather then separating time zones. It would not solve anything.
The best thing is implementing something that would encourage people to transfer to lower tier/losing servers.
. If enemie has more ppl then you, they have more carts. On top of it they have the castle. The only way to take castle is tru gate, but to get tru gate you must go tru the wave of arrow carts killing you in a split second.
Well trying to capture castle when there is more defenders then attackers is not possible, especially for unorganized group.
If castles would be easy and fast to capture there would be no point to them. And if your group can only build one arrow cart, there is really no way to take a castle even if you outnumber defenders 6:1.
Use catapults and trebuchets t destoy gate and arrow carts. Their resources are limited. Or should be…
I want to say that i really, really like human cultural armour especially tier 3. Even if they double it cost i would still want to buy it.
If it would cost 10 gold for set it wouldn’t be elite any more. Do you really thing that in RL material in clothes for 5000$ are ten times greater then these for 500$? What’s great about having Ferrari if every other average Joe have it?
It was the greatest activity in whole Halloween. Slaying mad king didn’t give me as much hype as finally competing Clock Tower after 3,5 hour of trying. Every time i got platform further was great success.
There is no point to challenge if it can be done be everyone with a little of effort. I hope for more such challenges in future events.
Doing Clock Tower wasn’t mandatory, so people who complain because they couldn’t do it and expect that everything should be given to them are simply ….. . People always like to blame others for their own failure…
I noticed sth similar for fire-breath drakes. If I’m underwater or they standing half in water(no longer swimming) even if they do whole breathing animation (with golden effect) there’s no fire. But as soon as they mouth get over the water, fire appears.
Well I guess fire won’t work in water and it’s intended feature.
I submitted a bug report for this yesterday as well. I had a few salvages to finish my monthly, went to dinner, came back at 9 central US time, and the achievement had already changed to November. Its a US server and not Nov anywhere in the country!!! Give us midnite eastern as you would expect for huge time consuming achievements like this Arenanet!!
It’s not a bug. Well from my perspective they were 1 hour late. Every day resets exactly on 0:00 GMT. It’s the same for everyone and it never changed so everybody should know it. Yesterday i missed my daily achievement because of that (Forgot, that my clock is in winter time now) but it’s my fault and it’s not bug.
And it’s your fault for waiting to the last minute to complete sth. You had a whole month to complete it and it it’s not short time. I bet if they allow you a day or even a second month of grace period, you would still be too late to finish it…
And i still fail miserably sometimes.
