Guild Wars 2

i always play on a laptop “Asus N73s” if im not mistaking. It cost me €800 so that would be around $1000?

i have all settings on high and run with 25 FPS usually unless 3 thiefs pop smoke the same time:)

on medium settings i have 30+ FPS easy.

dont know any specs but I love this laptop!

use you steal in WvW/SPvP on a ranger grants you the tree.
stealing from war = wirling axe
mesmer = plasma (all boons)
guardian = some interupt/daze hit
etc.

The most fun i find stealing from a necro! it gives you a 3 sec fear! use this on enemies that are on high ground to let them run off! this is hilarious.

here is the complete list: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Steal/Creature

Well written and explained. I would love to see some ingame that will give your personality some use.
Maybe also add something extra for DE events that are already here. (I Don’t want to hi-jack your post + its just a little idea)

Ferocity:
All events that require attacking a city or killing a foe will be on your minimap
Dignity:
All defend city/capture point events will be on your minimap
Charm:
All escort/protect events will be on your minimap.

Like i said, just a little idea to expend something that really needs some extra work in the future.

You can still get that POI when wallhugging the mountain.

at 35 seconds move to the right to the mountain. you can climb it a little and you will eventually get the POI.

First of all, Welcome back!

These days getting a party is not hard anymore. There is an ingame LFG (looking for group) tool. Press ‘Y’ or go to friendlist in the left corner menu. The second option there is the LFG tool.

If you play on EU server you can add me to your friendlist and we could play together someday.

With guesting feature you can play on other servers without paying a transfer fee.
Only a couple restrictions:
– Can’t WvW while guesting
– Can only guest to 2 other servers in 24 hours.

You should be looking for a nice/friendly guild. Since you are a bit of a beginner I would recommend a big guild with alot actives. This ensures that there is always something going on and most of the time someone willing to help you. You can join more then 1 guild.

If you have more questions just ask here or PM me ingame when im online.

1 tip, join a BIG guild. not 50 people but more like 400-500. talk some in guild chat and most of the time people will ask to do a dungeon or a world boss or explore. talk back ask them waypoints. ask tips on how to do dungeons better. explore with other people.

just try to have fun. doing this with a big group is easier then going solo

If you have all 3 campaigns (prophecies, factions and nightfall) you can walk out of Lion’s Arch with any level 10 and get the M.O.X. hero. This hero can be placed in HOM directly (instead of getting an armor piece for hero first)
Info on mox: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/M.O.X.
(fellowship statue)

Getting 1 mini (any rarity) will get you the second point which brings you to 5 points.
normal white mini’s are like 1-3k. or even free.

I always use the timers of gw2stuff.com. Those are in my experience accurate and easy to read. they also have an overlay which is really nice if you don’t have a second screen.

It is not really a change to get more exp. it a new type of exp/progression bar just for FotM.

playing in a fractals above your level will give you the usual reward.

this is not designed to slow players down. if they play there current level they still progress just as fast as now. however if you play lower levels now you dont progress. add a system that you still progress but with exponentialy increasing loss of progression. (this means that if you play like now to up fractal levels it wont have any affect on you!!!!)

The whole concept is based on the fact that if you have 1.5 hours of time to play but get a bad team you are actually doing it for nothing. this is what im getting at. make it worth the time to do 1 map or 2 maps of fractals and dont restrict it to atleast 3-4 maps in a row to progress!!!

Guild halls
Awsome looking skins (make contest to create new skins)
HA
GvG
More titles
Player-Player trade (supported incase of scamming)

searched for this but couldn’t find if it has been sugested before

What would you think of a new progression method in FotM?

Instead of having to complete 3 FoTM in a row and on even levels 4 maps you’ll get EXP like the WXP progression.

Completing a fractals of your level or above will grant you 33.3% of your FotMxp bar.

But playing below your level will still grant you some exp.
EG. if you are lvl 15 and complete a lvl 5 you will get 3.3% (lvl 15-10 lvls so max reward/10) this way you can help guildies out and still progress your own character.

With the current LFG tool it takes 10 sec to find someone when one of your party members is done for that day.

With this you will however create the option to play lvl 10+ on low level without agony but it will take alot more fractals to level up one level. So i would say thats the choice of the people who do this. Or they could set lower % exp gained when this is happening (like 2-3% max if you play in another range 10-19, 20-29, etc. to bypass agony) this will require 30-50 fractal completions to progress 1 level instead of 3 if you play your current level.

this will give people with limited time the chance to play FotM without being worried about the time and the possibility that you have to go in the middle and lose out on progress.

TL;DR : FotM EXP bar with a exponential decrease in exp if you play at lower levels as your current. So players with limited time can get higher level without time issues.

what do you think?

how much i would like you to have your precursor im still gonne warn you!! if you saved 9-10 months for it there can be 1 person thats not fair who can mess up the whole game for you. you are honest and hard working but they might not be;)

just saying..

have fun with your legendary!!

thieves do the job for me. with high mobility and always up 25% speedboost from signet you can go from node to node quick.

When mobs get to close or you agro to much just stealth harvest it and move on.

got mine yesterday from a lvl 6 baracuda. was so happy when i got it!!

just make them buyable in the gemstore for 1000 gems! everyone happy this way.

no more RNG box crying and still a good profit for Anet.
however i doubt people will still buy RNG boxes if the skins are for sale.

my target is

1. incinirator for my thief (56% done)
2. flameseekers proph for my guardian (10% done)
3. not legendary but still expensive weapon: infinite light for my guardian

if those are all done in couple of years ill maybe go for dreamer for thief or twilight for war or bifrost for guardian.

with this ill have a long term goal for the coming 2+ years and therefor always something to do

they were talking about not being able to break animation. he will forward it to the team. but noting about the 6-8sec casting time that should be 2-3sec.. On breaking animation he was clear enough, on total cast time not.

maybe 1 of the Anet team can give some extra info on this issue?

- will the animation still be like mining?
- will there be cahnges to the animation?
- will we be able to cancel it again? (already answered with yes iirc)
- will the animation be changed to the same time as the normal sickle?

The last two i find most important especially the animation time. since i didn’t really pay €10 to be slower in gathering.

Still thanks for all the good stuff!! lets not make it a whine only post

well the positive side here is that we can now predict how we will chop down tree’s in the future!!! instead of horizontally, we will be smashing it vertically with so much force that the ground will crack and rocks flying away from tree!!

ow and the hatchet will be long and pointy!!(almost like a mining pick?) how cool is that!

again a +1 for gunnars. Have lots of fun in WvW and PvE youll always see some people around in any map. noticed that lots of players guest to gunnars hold because of this. yesterday we did a balth run and it was awsome. couple commanders directing the whole event and multiple groups working together! its awsome!

good idea!!

just like leveling… well everywhere! as long as you have fun, its good!

most efficient way to level? nope, that would be normal map/heart/de/personal story/crafting. <—combination of these

i would choose having fun instead of faster:)

little tip: press/hold ctrl+shift and tap H. this removes whole UI so your screenshots look better:)

if you know this already, free bump:P

why not make the scavanger hunt this way:

Need!:
100% world completion — award 2 gifts + 1 extra item (item A)
all dungeons complete -- award item B
all crafts mastered on 1 account — award item C
whole personal story -- award pact token + 1 extra item (item D)

combine item A+B+C+D in MF to get a precursor device.

now combine that device with 3 exotic items of type precursor you want.
eg. 3 exotic daggers+ device = spark
3 exotic shields + device = the chosen
etc.

BUT!!!! make the precursor you get account bound!! this wont ruin the market and give people the option to get 1 (one only) precursor to make first legendary.
if they want seconds you have to go back to farming/MF a precursor.

anzenketh.3759:

Having a daily there would be nice however not a good for a daily as not everyone can participate. I wonder where everyone is. Usually you have no problem with people being in the higher level areas.

have kill 100 undead’s daily, those can also be found in queensdale but orr is faster:)

i would start a new character. just to see the whole game on something i started/played myself. I would also keep the 80 not to explore with but to farm gold and items for my own toon. Why not use it when its there??:P

ok to help EU players. Gandara is not bugged/glitched!!

also locations at this moment (found them last 20 minutes)

snow covered — compass location #12

dirt covered — wooden soldier location #7
dirt covered — logbook location #10
dirt covered — sword belt #6

http://dulfy.net/2013/02/26/gw2-lost-and-found-living-story-event-and-achievement-guide/#3

that is the site to find the location numbers on the map!!

hope this helped!

after playing from headstart i dicided to make thief my main!! yes it took some time but i just love playing and will eventually try to get incinerator.

now my question…

i want to go fulltime WvW eventually and try to get a good hold on the tactics and maybe become commander (one that knows tactics and not just wear it for blue triangle) but full glass cannon is not such a wise choise i think.

What would be good armor stats to have good dmg and survivability? and what would be the best choise on traits?

maybe some experienced thief can help me out here?

tnx in advance!

couple tips:

- never buy exotic armors from the TP when your low on cash. Find a good dungeon group or guild group, gather tokens and get the best armor while also making gold.

- gather every node!! it will help you raise your crafting skill and if you dont like crafting it will make you money.

- try not to kill 1 monster at a time, use your AoE and kite the monsters. This way they don’t kill you that easy and killing 2 monsters in 1 minute gives you more then tanking 1 monster in 40 seconds. And if you kill 2 monsters in 1 minute 4 monsters will also go down in 1 minute!!

- pick up EVERY item that drops. my thief is now lvl 62 (all by killing/exploring, personal story is still at first mission) and its walking around with 11G.

- Do the big events (Maw, dragons, wurm, fire ele etc.) if your level is close to it! those eventst will even at lvl 60 reward you with a rare (yellow) weapon/armor that you can maybe use or sell for a couple silver. The event rewards also give you some silver.

- check dailies and do heart completing in the zones that also contribute to your daily! e.g. need to kill 40 enemies in shiverpeaks. go to that zone do 3 hearts and you have the daily part completed + 3 hearts. This giving you: money from daily, money from hearts, money from drops and after a couple of days/weeks money for zone completion.

couple tips hope it helps:)

make the tower into a little jumping puzzle and give the people 2 ways to enter it… or jump to the top or get shot to the top:)

i also need this vista… well lets wait for patch i guess

I guess Anet doesn’t have official support for trading like this.
Since you need to have both people online, let them mail the items/gold in GW2 and trade in GW1. Without Anet’s support it’ll be a matter of trust. Trust is hard to find in online games if your dealing with some random person.

I can however help you out a little since i already have my 50/50 and got plenty of GW1 gold/items left that i just don’t want to get rid of for nothing in return. So we might make a deal. If you send me a PM maybe we can arrange something.

atm im at work so ill be ingame in 6 hours.

check this. its an asura mes with twilight. zoomed in/out, fighting, running.

from 2:58 it starts. rest is path to crafting it.

hope this helped:)

Today i received 2 phishing mails. usually those kitten that send them do a pretty good job to look legitimate but today i got 1 that made me laugh:

I removed the adresses but “fake blizzard” sending me a mail of “fake Anet” is a stupid mistake lol.

Q: anyone know how i stop getting those mails? i never tried 3th party programs or weird websites for gw. however i did use those for WoW 6 years ago.

well this 1 is a little hard to answere. there are not much people who are gonne try it out. if you pay for server transfer you retain everything you earned thats for sure.

deleting all characters and then do free server swap im not so sure. i think all your achievments will be lost since the game asks you for new home world you would like to represent after creating first new character.
so my guess is that game recognize it as a completely new account. so expect everything to get lost or be lucky and retain it.

how about making dragon fights instanced?

this instance has the ability to hold massive ammounts of players. players can get here by talking to some coordinator at their respective faction base. then get ported to this map. this way the maps wont get overflow that fast and people can participate without normal camping the spawn.

the dragon event is random time so noone knows when.

after joining the map you have 3 options:

fight with vigil frontline troops to hold of dragaon spawns and monsters who atk the artillery. and deal dmg to dragons

join the durmand priory to build siege and fire to dmg the dragons and repair broken siege.

help the order of whisperers to sneak in ammo for the siege weapons. defend reinforcments from other orders and hold fallback camps. those camps produce the siege ammo.

- 3 camps: if all fall dragon event failed.
-20 siege weapons: if all get destroyed event fails.

each of the orders has a coordinator in the field that tells the people what needs to be done. e.g. vigil: The left flank is getting weak. Move up there and make sure it doesnt fall.
Priory: There are just 5 siege engines left help repair the broken and fire at the dragon.
wispers: The ammo for the sieges is low defend a caravan to resupply them.

this way people can choose what to do. dont have to stand in 1 spot and hit auto atk.
make dragon HP so high that its a fight of 30m-1h and scale it to the ammount of players.

just an idea:)

most people already answered so ill just add some info that is probably already said:

- go nightfall get heroes
- do daily zaishen challenge to get baltazar faction and exchange those for normal skills(those skills can be used by heroes so making a strong hero team is done faster this way)
- do all missions and check wiki for their bonus part (do those all to make sure you dont have to repeat to get max reward for titles)
- finish Nightfall then EotN then factions and last prophecies. however start character in prophesies. (lore is best in my opinion and proph give most free skills for quests downside here is that lvling is slow at the start)
- get daily zaishen missions and do those try to combine those example 1: you need to do the mission “ring of fire” soon and its obtainable at the zaishen missions get it!!! it gives extra exp/gold/ somtimes title points.
- if you wanna go for big titles combine the zaishen bounty with skill capping/ zaishen vanquish with zone you havent vanquished/ zaishen mission with missions you still need. this all will give you a nice ammount of gold fast that can be used to buy hom weapons/armors/mini’s.

i did all my titles up to GWaMM with heroes while playing monk. you dont need other people to complete things however with others its more fun and usually a lill faster.

Atherakhia.4086:

a map overlay that can be used ingame

here you are talking about a simple texture modification that is not hard to make. in GW1 those were really popular for cartographer title and i know some people who modded polar bear into panda’s and tormented shield (usually purple color) to blue white or red) but iirc those texturemods are not allowed in gw2?? not to sure about this tho-

its kind off impossible to make it accurate. making timers/locations/walkspeeds calculations is not that hard but now imagine you see the boss and update it to the site.

your info would be accurate. the programmer could make all the rest of the information accurate. there could be a map with a moving dot where boss should be according to time and walkspeed. but what if someone else talks to that NPC? the npc will stop moving a sec. if repeated the map will be off big time because no programmer can account for these things (unless its Anet itself since they know the locations thru their data). so mapping with walkspeeds is a no go since you cant make it solid.

now what if you post the boss at some location that is again very accurate and noone talks to it. location could be calculated but once boss gets killed by a guild your back to start.. boss will spawn somewhere else at random location. so someone else need to update it before the information is legit again.

try adding those two things in a calculation… outcome is impossible to predict/calculate… to many factors that work against you.

same is with dragon timers. when noone updates it the times are unknown. but since those have a set respawn timer + fixed spawn location you wouldn’t need alot of programming. here its just a timer.

conclussion: dragon timers are pretty easy, bounty is almost inpossible to gather all data and get it accurate.

well you played wow 8 years. so wow had 8 years to build their game so there is more to do for you. gw2 is around 220 days old.. 1500 hours divided by 220 = 6.8 hours.

almost 7 hours a day playtime is alot to play a new game. any game that just comes on the market wont have enough content for people that play that much. im not saying you should play less because thats your choise but dont expect games to grow faster then you play it thats impossible considering the ammount of time it will cost to program and design new stuff:P just take a break or something for couple of months and come back to enjoy then montly game upgrades.

atleast thats what i would do:)

account bound WvW titles PLEASE!!

if i got rank on one toon i will play this one only.. not like GW1 where you could run different builds for HA and GvG and get title point. getting R15 HA was almost impossible. still a couple made it i was only 11:( but if those WvW titles take as long to get as getting to R10 HA its a pain! if it takes like 200 playing hours to get max title its still a bit of alt friendly.

april monthly:

-take stonemist 10 times
- kill 100 caravan dolyaks
- kill 500 invaders
- complete EB JP 3 times
- build 100 trebs
- kill 10 rabbits (everyone complains bou tthe ambiant thingiee)
(would love the treb 1. imagine the fire that would come down on SM!!)

dont expect it to happen in 2013… however i hope it will come soon. ill never start the gambling and never buy it of TP. but i would also like a lill update on this matter:P

also a nice tactic with small teams is to have 2 teams 1 killing 1 tracking. tracking team = 2 or 3 people with speedboosts. killing team is the rest of your whole team.

works best for R1 bounty

- start bounty
- let your killing team move to map of first boss and let every1 search a direction
(split map in a imaginary 6 box with north-west = 1, north-middle = 2, north-east = 3 etc.)
- assign every member of the killing team to 1 of those grids and check dulfy where the path is. this way it will take 2-3 minutes max to find the monster.
- move the tracking team to the map of the other boss and let them search while you kill first boss

• tracker 1 = clockwise
• tracker 2 = counter clockwise

- if tracker found it post location and direction were everyone of killingteam should go to.

— do this with lill practice and everyone knowing what they should do and R1 can be completed within 10 minutes easy and it doesn’t need you to find every boss be4 starting the timer this wastes alot of time for nothing

hope this helped

hmm so axe+shield can go full berserk alot easier, warhorn gives better mobility. GS was my choise for the nice dmg output. only for PvE this can give a nice output. and playing with guardian/mesmers is not always guaranteed unless friends/guildies do the same farming. so i think i will have to sacrafice some dmg for lill more toughness/vitality. tnx alot for the help! and maybe someone else post their feedback. it would be much appriciated by me and i guess many others:)

1. as long as your leveling is faster then 1 lvl/hour your doing fine! there is no need to rush to lvl 80. just take your time, gather, kill, event as much as you like. usual MMO’s were like max lvl 100 (jsut example) and lvl 1-99 was useless grinding cuz 100 gave you the freedom to do everything. here its you can do every part of the game from lvl 2 (however the higher your lvl the better your chances you survive).

2. everyone have this at some moments but like many stated before. you dont need to party to play together with others. yesterday i was doing an event that had me kill 2 veteran mobs at the same time. could kill 1 but 2 was to much for me so i ran away. try to regen some HP to go in again, i turn around and see someone else running in. together we killed both said a small ‘ty’ — ‘np’ and that was it. we both completed the event. got reward, were polite and that was it.

3. i joined guild of friends from gw1. but for someone new to whole GW i would say just join some guild that are recruiting. spend 2 days in 1 guild 2 days in another and see what suits you best usually you get to join 1 guild here you represent 1 and join 4 guilds:) alot more relaxed.

that is what i was thinking! everything to maximize dmg. but geared/traited for max dmg will sacrifice alot of survivability. and i wanna know if this loss in survivability makes a great difference in farming/dungeoning. big dmg is always good to kill fast but if you die trying its actually negative for the team (in dungeons it is).

so you would say a full combination of 3 different sets?

i like the idea of that but still worried my dmg will fall short or is toughness/vitality really a must have to survive?

Hey every1!!

tl;dr: bottom of this post!

this is first time i ask a question bout something and i apologize if this has been asked be4. but i have a lill problem with my warrior and instead of learning the hard way and spending tons for nothing i wanna get it right the first time.

my warrior will be axe/mace, GS or longbow. those weapons will have berserker stats. (those are best i think since the + power + crit dmg and higher chance to hit a crit due to prec.)

for armors im not really sure what to get. the warrior is just for farming and dungeoning. no PvP and very lill WvW. so stats are not meant for fighting other players.

i dont really believe in MF.

what would be the best armor stats to get??

berserkers? and why?
soldiers? why?
valkyrie? why?

or maybe other stats are better??

maybe some of the people with more knowledge can help me on this one.

same with the ascended items.

i am going for offensive infusion slot items.

Mark of the Tethyos Houses
Conundrum of Maut

whats best those have almost same stats only conundrum has lill vitality and lill less prec.?

TL;DR what are best stats for farming/dungeoning for armor and ascended accessories?

plz help me and thanks in advance

i havent started my legendary yet but i read alot bout it. best is to start with farming to make all 77 clovers. the recipe of clovers will give you a nice ammount of t6 mats if it doesnt give you clovers. this helps you reduce the time to farm for the remaining t6 mats. after that i would go for t6 and badges of honor (by killing or faster with the JP’s) farming 1 months without doing something else gets boring and since you need alot more stuff done you better switch lill between those to keep things fun (not my own experience but i can understand what most people told about getting it done)

also get 100% map completion be4 starting to go all out on farming since mapping gives nice rewards too that’ll help in the end:)

dont ask me bout specific parts of the legendary cuz i dont know everything bout them but look here and see how many things you can combine to do at same time: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quip

hope this helped

lol i would pay 5k gems if they bring vabbian assasin armor to gw2 for med armor classes. it would be awsome!

list of gw1 arts i would like to see
- ranger primeval
- monk fow
- necro fow
- war fow
- cant think of more but would be awsome to see some of the old skins back again!!

and check what map your on. as a low level you can run to every map up to lvl 80 maps. you will keep your low lvl and die easy. staying in a map just below your lvl makes everything alot easier!
