It is confirmed by many that the 15k chest is dropping the mantles (again).
No player in the world has reached 21k points yet. So it is Not confirmed that they drop from that chest (but players can see the promise that they will drop at 21k in the achievement tab).

People can allready ping it cause the chat code is known.

Check the leaderbords pls

For me it is clearly showing…
EU: 1 – Stivie.4538 – 20671- Riverside [DE]
NA: 1 – Dyne Tianjin.8605 – 20369 – Blackgate

Both are below 21k. Can make screenshots if you dont believe me.

It is in the tradepost, advertised as a limited offer. It clearly says 1 per customer and it clearly says 0 gems in the price. This means that it is not a bug. If this was not meant to be (wich I seriously doubt), it is fully Arenanet’s fault.

PvP/Gear.

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

So anything I get in these chests is basically useless gear wise considering the merchants give me free exotics and runes or whatever anyways. Besides the glory boost? So get to level 80, alright.

For you, yes it prolly is useless.
sPvP is a fully competitive kind of gameplay. so for sPvP you can get all gear for free with the best stats. when in sPvP consider your self an olympic sporter where you are provided with equal gear as any opponent. Comming from some other games I can totally udnerstandyour confussion, but pvp is not a gear grind, but fully based on skills.

The chests reward you with skins (so you can show how good your skills are) and more important rank. Rank is important for team arena’s and to get to fight better enemy’s.

But as said, there is absolute no connection to WvW. WvW follows a more traditional geargrind where you can be beter if you farm/grind the better gear. This grind and max gear is a lot easier to obtain then in some other games, but it is still requires effort and time.

Is Anet destroying the game?

Is Anet destroying the game??
No

Some of the things you mentioned are controversial. Take the bezerker change.
All they did is announce a very minor change for zerkers. 10% less critical damage. ok, lets do some math.
Critical hits allready do a 150% damage increase (compared to non critical). + 50 critical damage results now in 200% damage increase instead of 150%. After the change it will be lowered by 10%. so that means that it will result in 195% damage increase (if you hit critical) instead of 150%.
If you are bad at maths, believe, me people might only see the 10%, but it is 10% off the extra critical damage. the change still exist.

A good way to explain Zerker gear is as follows:
Zerker gear makes you hit foes harder. It aslo increases the change to hit even harder. If you do hit harder, zerker will make you hit even harder then harder.

The only change announced is that the last part is made smaller by a staggering amount of10%!

So you still hit harder, you still have a higher change to hit even harder, and if you hit even harder you still are hitting harder, just not as hard as you used to be.

So, in the end, your precious warrior is only nerfed a lil bit.
At the moment warrior is the easiest class around. If, as you said you have trouble playing any aspect of the game, sucessfully with the current meta, you should look at yourself and challenge yourself to become a better player.

the announced nerf is ultra small, but if you are struggling at the moment you need to question yourself and not the nerf imo.

Please rethink Invisible Walls

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

The big argument that support invisable walls is possible exploits.
The way the game is designed (technically) is that all terrain is build over an open ocean. the reason is that it happens that you glitch outh of the terrain and end up under the map. the amount of places and bugs where this happen is numerous. Yes, you could say that it is a bug and shouldn’t happen at all, but it does.

further, such a situation causes exploits. almost all objects that doesnt require action (like skillpoints and poi’s) can be explored if you find your way to the ocean (and if detected you get a nice termination of your account).

Your suggestion would make it easier to end up in the ocean, and make it easier to exploit. Also, not going into details here but it would help writers of illegal third party software a lot to make software that help players break the ToS.

So, While I understand your feelings bout invisable walls, the need for them is important, specially cause not everyone is so innocent as you are.

Suggestion: Dungeon Tokens

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

First of all, I got my dungeon master title with good old honest work. So I didnt buy the paths and done them in organised groups several times (including a big fail guildgroup where we ended up way to drunk and only laughed for hours in a row and ended up totally naked cause we where totally wasted). I repeated all dungeons paths (succesfully) atleast 3 times.

Having said that, there is nothing wrong with buying a path in arah. I wanted the armor and bought the paths. I know I can do them, but it takes time and is boring, so I had nothing to prove for myself.

As said, it is not allowed to do a dungeon and skip lupicus. so check if they did him the legit way or else report.

As for your suggestion, my answer is no. Tokens should be separated. It is bad enough to see so many people look at my armor and thinking, he can’t do Arah and only ‘bought’ it. I’m ok with it, cause it is their silly opinion. but making one token transferable into another would ruin a lot (let alone the requirements for legendary’s)

Also, Arah is a lot of fun. you might want to go to the dungeons section or the players helping players section to find a group to do Arah.

Which heavy

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

My personal favourite is the guardian.
The main difference is that a guardian requires player skills. To be a good guardian you need to be a good player, and the more player skills you have, the better you get. To be a good warrior, you still need skills, but the ceiling (where you cant get any better) is lower in my personal experience.

So, If you want to be one of the crowd that is just plain good, go warrior. If you want to stand out and are up for that challenge, go guardian.

What's a good rune for thief to use in pve?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

It depends, if you are are level 80 or not.
A level 80 thief has more then enough defensive skills and traits to run zerkergear, so Rune of the scholar, mesmer, thief or simular would be great. When leveling I would advise to go a lil bit more defensive. It also depends a lot of your other gear.

Personally, if you are not level 80 yet, I wouldnt worry too much and pick something that you think is usefull.

Something missing from the original

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I think there are things missing in GW2. But for most I understand the reasons. I’m pretty old for a gamer, but I don’t want to trap myself in getting an old sentimental fool.

GW1 had good sides and bad sides.
What I miss the most however is the community. Don’t get me wrong. GW2 has a great community. But the loss of some people and the gain of others form different games have made it different. Not always for the bad (Neural demonstrated that perfectly), but I do feel that GW2 attracks more people that are (thinking) that crying and cursing will change things. The GW2 audiance in general seems a bit more spoiled.

Will We Ever Get an Expansion Pack?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

First off all, I’m allergic to post that claim to speak on behalf of a group of people (like you claiming to speak on behalf of the majority). In my opinion it makes you look silly and less intelligent.

Having said that. Anet allready explained that they are doing more then just working on the living story. An example is the EotM map. Although this is released in combination with a living story chapter, it is clear that it is designed by a different team and with a different purpose.

So yes, they are working on an ‘expansion’. But it is also announced that it might not be a traditional expansion, but more a stripped expansion released through permanent living story content or through the gemstore. These are the three options they are currently thinking bout (while working on it at the same time). With stripped down I mean it will be new maps, storylines, weapontype, playable races (well maybe not all of this but most). But without the things as extra bags, character slots, bankslots, etc..

So instead of releasing a total package through a retailer they are thinking on breaking those elements down and sell them separatly.

Flamekissed: Before and After

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I’ll ask again, and explain more bout my motives for asking.
’Can I ask a question to those who liked the old flamekissed armor??
What would you find a fair solution?
And do not say, to keep the old skin. ’

I see so many people being digged in for this ‘war’. The simple fact is that Anet decided to do this months ago. They didn’t change their position ever since then and it sure doesn’t look like they are going to change it now.

So wether you like it or not. You won’t get the old skin back (atleast not cause you paid with gems). I don’t mind. I personally find the T3 armor ugly. I found the old flamekissed skin ugly. So I don’t care at all. I’m an outsider in this discussion. The reason I am reacting is that I see so many people wasting energy on something that is clearly not going to change.

That is why I’m asking you to use that energy in a positive way. Instead of digging deeper in, how do you think this could be solved in a way that would be (somewhat) sattisfying for you. Use this energy to find a solution instead of digging deeper into the bunkers, while nothing is going to change in the end. In my previous post I think I gave a good start of what I think would be a solution

Flamekissed: Before and After

mercury ranique.2170

Can I ask a question to those who liked the old flamekissed armor??
What would you find a fair solution?

And do not say, to keep the old skin. This was griefing many players who bought t3 cultural armor so thats not an option.

The reason I’m asking is that it is in my opinion time to stop crying over something that’s not going to change, but to think of solutions that might give Anet idea’s.

They have the old flamekissed skin.
Maybe make it available again in the game but through the mystic force:

Ingredients (for the chest piece, but others are simular)
1 Sorcerer’s coat (the current cultural T3 skin)
1 Zojja’s Berserker Insignia (or any other ascended insiginia, but the type will determine the stats on the final item)
50 bloodstone bricks
25 Glob’s of Dark matter

The result will be (with this type of insignia) an ascended version off the old flamekissed coat with beserkers stats.
Off course, the limitation would and should be that it is for only humans to maintain the cultural armor status.

If you continue this, Anet could make all cultural skins flamekissed (well the style, it should be named different off course) and make it upgradable in a simular way.

LA Tech: Blow It Up for Future Content?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

It’ll just be the fountain. They always destroy the fountain…

Or the lighthouse.

I don’t expect a one time event but I do hope a major impact to some parts of the town. a possible scenario.

1: after the update the bay area of the town is veiled by a force field simular to the one obscuring the nightmare tower. This is demonstrated in a video/instance when you first enter the town. Lady Kasmeer tries to stop it, but is (temporary) eliminated by Scarlet.

2: Ellen Kiel finds a way in and we get into the forcefield to see what Scarlet have done to that part of the town (e.g. damming it off, draining the water and do some redecorating) and we get to fight scarlet and her forces to start the final attack at the city.

3: During the living story chapter the forcefield stays on cause kasmeer is out and she is the onlyone who can stop it. outside the forcefield it is business as usual.

4: When the living story is over Kasmeer wakes up (or when she is eliminated permanently, someone else finds a way to take the forcefield down) and the redecorated part of town is a permanent addition..

This is just one out of many ways how it can be done. Another way is to open up new maps (e.g. the part of LA where the battle pits are).

Disrespect in gem store. ACT 2.

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

From the Urban dictionary (best answer):

Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying.

The key is that it requires the game to become ‘largely unbalanced’.
First of fall it is important to see what a balanced game is. To me it is a game where you can easily win without spending money. So what is winning? Winning is enjoying the game in my opinion.

So lets look at the advantage this pick is offering.
It gives you the abillity to gain certain craftable items faster. these items are all considered sub par and can be obtained the regular way reasonable quick as well.

So the gaming advantage is very limited. The only real advantage is financial. This advantage is still very small, specially when you consider the investment needed to buy the pick with gold.

Anyone who say that this advantage is limiting their own possibility in enjoying the game has imo issues. If you still have enough possibillity to enjoy the game without this pick it is not p2w.

Nerfing Berserker Gear Would Be A Mistake

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I think that the change they are making is actually a good change but I think it won’t work.

The ‘issue’ is that there is only one good geartype at the moment and that is bezerker. This is not 100% accurate, but for most classes it is. Only among ele’s, guardians and necro’s it is accepted to bring different stats.

The issue is that there are three considerations to make when it comes to deciding on your stats.

1: direct damage
2: condition damage
3: protections

For any build you can say that protection is enough when you and your party stays alive. This is in most situations the case with zerker-gear so no need to spec in protection at all.

Conditions are simply broken in this game. so no need to spec there either.

That leaves only direct damage to spec in, and thats zerker.

By expanding the time of fights slightly by reducing crit damage they are making more situations that zerker is not as viable and they increase the fail rate if you go full zerker.

However I don’t think it will change a lot. the first reason is the elitism. Too many people think too much from the pov of the meta and don’t believe there is anything viable outside the meta. In other words. The only way now to make zerkers go try something else then zerkers is making zerker impossible to use. Otherwise they will just say ‘See, bezerker is still working, Anet failed in nerfing us’. So as long as Zerker will do the job it will stay the meta cause the elitsts will refuse to think out of the box.

I aslo think there is a danger in there. Cause going this way they likely will nerf it more in the future and in the same way. This till crit damage is so far removed it isn’t important anymore.

The real issue with Zerker is the lack of trinity. Cause GW1 doesn’t use Trinity, the game lack specialisation.

In e.g. GW1 you had classes that where good at healing (monks and rits), classes good at CC and buffing (dervish/paragon/mesmer), classes good at tanking (war, sin) and classes good at DPS (ele, necro, ranger). This ment that those classes often specialized. Due to secondary professions it was also possible to build hybrids.

The lack of specialisation has caused that there is a single meta.

So yes, this 10% nerf is a good thing, but it wont work and it will not result in a big change. The main questions is do we really want it to change? Is it so much broken?

PvP/Gear.

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

I read somewhere that Glory can buy me substantial gear for WvW? I did a solo arena queue and got 150 glory but I also read I cannot level up through solo arena.

No you cant use glory to buy WvW gear. You can use glory to buy (mostly) PvP-related items like specific skins.

Doing sPvP like solo arena you don’t gain experience as you do in PvE and WvW. you can however use the glory to buy Tome’s of Knowledge. These cost 20s and 1500 glory each and will give you one level.

So for 78 levels (You’ll be level 2 anyways due to the tutorial when you make a new character), you need 117000 glory and 15g60s.

PvP is armorwise and levelwise totally different from WvW and PvE

OldSomalia.
For ranged combat it depends highly on the specific combat. For single target fights where you need to have a lot of mobility you are right, but for multiple targets in a more confined space staff is better.

Fire field only grants 3 stacks of might. So thats 11.5% more damage during 20 seconds. Empower offers 15 stacks, so that 57% more damage for 10 seconds. Max amount of stacks is 25, so overriding becomes only an issue when too many people are stacking might. Thats why, if you use mepowerment you should always be carefull your not overriding, ubt thats just good player skills. Your argument bout the casting time is nonsense. the stack is build up, but each part of the stack last 10 second, just not at the same time. (so during the casting time, 2,5 second, you gain the stacks one by one. 10 seconds after casting the first one is going out. but the last applied stack last till 12,5 seconds after the first applied one.

For pulling you are right, but in many situations it does the job. Only when I have to pull a certain boss (e.g. Tazza or Fyonna) you are right. It’s when I will switch to scepter.

Thanks for discussing based on arguments though. Really appreciate that. you serve as an example against some others here.

PvP/Gear.

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

WvW is a PvP/PvE hybrid. This means it uses elements of PvE and elements of PvP

In sPvP you get special gear you can get for 100% free. In WvW you use your PvE gear. You are upgraded when you are below level, butthat only counts for the stats and tratis and skills you have equipped.

So for example.
You are level 37 and bring a level 35 rare weapon. This means this gets upgraded to a level 78 (two levels below 80) rare weapon. People who are 80, have access to level 80 exotic or ascended gear.

Furthermore, those people at level 80 have full access to all the traits and skills while you are still in the process of unlocking them.

Bottom line: yes you stats are increased, but you dont have the full potential of a level 80. You can level in WvW, but it is advisable to hide in the zerg.

It is nice how Talyn bought some friends. I was and will be rude to him. He is the one who said that I was being kicked out of pugs alot. And yes I took that as anoffense and a personal attack.

All that happened after is that people are telling how bad a staff is. I took the timeto build an argument with facts and he (and some others) keep being rude without taking the time or effort to explain WHY the staff is bad or WHY my facts presented earlier are wrong.

A good argument is not build around statements like ‘you will be kicked out of dungeons a lot’ but bout facts. I presented some clear facts and all you do is flame me without giving proper facts.

Tell me why my numbers are wrong??

The point is that I know there is asome staff hate among some ‘self-appointed’ dungeon runners. There are very good speedrunners. But just copy-pasting what these people do without understanding it wont make you a good dungeon players. And it even gets worse. The call-out that anyone who does it different is bad forms the current elitsm.

I try to mix my dungeons a lot and do bout 4-5 paths per day, but the last few months I have been doing AC p3 on a daily basis.
I join any kind of group (and never got any complaints). This is my experience:

lfg: P3, experienced only, speedrun, be 80 – average time of 20 minutes, many wipes. The group mostly stinks.
lfg: P3 level 80 only – Average time of 15 minutes. it goes okayish
lfg: p3 all welcome – Average time of 12 minutes, even with lowbe’s the speed and skill level of the people there is awesome.

I don’t judge the people demanding this and that build. But too many are so blind and so trusting that ‘their way’ is the only way, you are blinded to alternatives AND being outdated left and right cause you don’t see improvements.

So if you want to argument based on facts as I presented. go ahead. If not, please stop flaming me without any sensefull argument.

Make account bound items soulbound?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Yes!
But it will only work if you bring the skin of the soulbound item and the stats and runes of the white or blue item.

What you do afterwards is what matters. You got two options
1: transfer the item to another character and use a transmutation splitter (gemstore item) to return the original item. This will result in an item that is is accountbound/soulbound on equip.
2: use another transmutation crystal to transmutate the skin to an item with the desiered stats.

Off course, given the price off transmutation splitters, you should use method one on legendary and ascended items and method two on exotic or lesser items.

Smooth,

Do you use the wiki??
If we haven’t heard an answer in a few days we could set up a research page on the wiki. I have the Molten Alliance Mining Pick. We could start recording our results on a private page. you with the clockwork and me with the molten one. If we both dont use guildboosts and record for say 5 days we should have consisting data on the subject.

I can use some motivation to start mining all orichalcum notes again on a daily basis

Considering the way this game plays and how simple so many things are, I really like the trail by fire attitude, with a hint here and there. Unlike other mmo’s I have played that have long dragged out tutorials on how to do something that should be simple, but is overly complex, FOR NO dam reason. And you still don’t get it.

Welcome to GW2.
If you hit some questions in the future feel free to ask here, join a helpfull guild or use the wiki (type in the ingame chat window ‘/wiki’, or even if you want to know more bout a personal story with the name fury of the dead just type ‘/wiki Fury of the Dead’

The are animal companions, only rangers can use those. if you are a ranger you can ‘charm’ juvenile animals if you are close (it just pop’s up if you are close enough, just like interact or talk).

Necromancers can summon minions (undead servants)

Mesmers can summon clones

Engineers can summon stationarry turrets.

Raging, please dont talk in present sence, Itis not going to hit all celestial the hardest. This is what Anet said ‘wanted to stop by and say thanks for the feedback. We do feel that the celestial stat set will be hit the hardest with the upcoming critical damage changes, so we are looking at possibly boosting the overall stats by a small amount.
Also the celestial stat set in PvP is using a much lower stat multipliers than the PvE versions so we will be looking at changing this as well. Nothing is set in stone, but I wanted to let guys know this is something we are discussing.’

So they are recognising the potential problem and are looking into ways of fixing it. How its going to be fixed is unknow to us now, and what we end up with is unknown too. Thanks for linking the thread. it got all the information :P

Problems with skill points & fight for life

I think you are on to the solution.
OP. when you level up you get a traitpoint and a skillpoint. Traitpoints are used to unlock trait levels. skillpoints are used to unlock skills (and for end game rewards they can be used as currency). When you succesfully do a skillchallenge you only gain a skillpoint, but not a traitpoint.

Guild Challenge Bug

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

Hmmmm,
This is in my opinion a bug, but the bug is the inconsistancy.
Some challenges can be shared and some challenges can not be shared.
the issue is that they don’t perform in the same way.

This is my personal experience.
Blightwater Shatterstrike, Deep Trouble and Scratch Sentry Defense can not be shared across guilds, your guild can participate, but you won’t get the reward unless you started it.

Save Our Supplies and Southsun Crab Toss will be shared. if you have this one open, any member participating will end in a reward for the guild, even if your guild didn’t started it.

Branded for Termination: I only got this one once and never with another guild around, so no clue how it works.

I asked a long time ago for a consistent effect. Either you get the reward on all challenges if a single member (or more) particpates (even if another guild started it), or you only get the reward when your guild started it. Hopefully, till that happens my list will help you in identifying the difference

The skill points: I get the blue marker, so it should be fine, I just don’t get a point to spend on anything. Also, I have the same problem with my main and alt and my alt is now doing the skill points I did with my main. My main skill point count in hero panel is like 50, but I’ve got to use under 20… And now I’m in areas that are my level, so this shouldn’t be a problem. Sometimes even doing harder ones like lvl 30 when I was 29.

Thanks for the fight tips, I’ll try the tapping!

Sounds like you might be misunderstanding something. Post a screenshot of your Skills and Traits window.

Yip, I agree, it seems you are expecting the wrong thing from skillpoints.
When you earn a skillpoint (the icon turns from blue outlined to fully blue) you get a skillpoint in your skills and traits tab under (‘H’).

At level 50 you should have 45 skillpoints + all the skillpoints you earned in maps.
You might be mistaken in your count cause the first 5 levels dont reward skillpoints.

account bound gem store items missing

The primeval gear is soulbound. So when you put it on an armor it is only usable on that character.

If your characters are gone, this means that you (or someone who had illegal access to your account) has deleted them all, including the gem store item.

If you want to ask for a resolution you need to make a support tickets. In general they don’t help you if it was a user error, but context is very important. So support will help (answer) you if you file a ticket.

Vicious Claws Farming Help

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: mercury ranique.2170

mercury ranique.2170

First off all ask. Where do you need vicious claws for??
If it is for selling them again, then farming them is the best way.
If it is for gettign assasin’s gear then farming and transferring them as mentioned by Hebee is the best option.
If you need them in any mystic forge recipe that requires a stack the best option is to put all your income on it. so use your cash to buy the claws on the TP (besides farming and upgrading them in the mf)

Staff is a PvP weapon. A world vs world weapon. If your spamming it in PvE is bad. I am not gonna to waste time replaying again. I only hope that the information related here will keep others from making the same mistakes you are with spaming staff one auto through half a fight.

And I only hope that your wannabe elitsm, where you judge a weapon on some bad players instead on personal experience, is not used by other seeking guidance. The facts I presented speak for themself. But if you are unwilling to give the staff a try and go blind on some people who can’t handle it, you are the one giving wrong information. the numbers and evidence I gave speak for themself.

It is possible for support to unlink your gw2 account for your gw-account.
It is also policy to only help there where it is vital to help (and so not for plain convinience). So to see if they are willing to do so in this situation you have to file a support ticket. They can only unlink it. so after that you have link the gw1 account to the new gw2 account (if they are willing to unlink it). After linking the gw1 accounts is linked to the same email as the (new) gw2-account.
