So… I play Ele. When i know some boss uses projectiles… and i can’t rely on defenses like Whirling Wind or Magnetic Aura… Should i pick the downed trait, melee the boss with only fire attunement, die, and run again from waypoint? Is that the right mechanic?

Pick the downed trait, melee the boss with only fire attunement, dodge twice, die, and run again from waypoint.

Wow! Thanks! I’m gonna enjoy playing like that now.

Players stealing from guild bank

ArenaNet never involves itself in guild issues. You can submit a ticket, but it will not do much for you.
(However, if the person who stole from the guild bank did other things, like spamming or verbal abuse or somesuch, you can report them for that in-game.)

People taking stuff from guild bank section without access isn’t a guild, but a feature issue.

Double the precursor drop rate

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: sMihaly.1492

sMihaly.1492

Precursors keep people playing. It’s important that something in the game be very difficult to accomplish. I’ve seen people quit once they’ve achieved their goals.

Difficulty of getting precursors shouldn’t be equal to an unfair RNG.
Drop rate should be increasing with the difficulty of content you play.

New Staff Skins = Old Trident Skins

Most of the trident skins look way better than staffs.

Gz SFR.

One question; who is the SFR commander at the start of this video? https://youtube.com/watch?v=A4nq8IAEMjM

Impressive breath control has that one. The main Deso commander that stood out was Ins, but I guessed that already due to the amount of praise showered over him by his huge guild and groupies. That said I’m relatively biased against Deso due to, in part, the amount of outnumbered emote spamming and forum warrioring they had the times we were against them. The latter does seem in no short supply in the higher tiers, but watching the video you guys appear relatively likeable, provided I could get past the smell

Good suggestion. Would largely depend on two things.

  • ArenaNet giving the development of OP’s suggested In-game Poll priority.
  • ArenaNet actually caring what its playerbase likes and dislikes.

What about suggesting this to NCsoft?

Arenanet is afraid of dividing the pvp community to different game modes.

The only problem is that this way they are dividing to pvp community to those who play pvp, and those who leave pvp. And those who are leaving pvp are getting more each day.

Essences of Luck past 300% Magic Find?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: sMihaly.1492

sMihaly.1492

Yeah, maybe if there was a recipe in Ascended Jewelcrafting that required an exotic Essence of Luck? Maybe crafting some versatile Magic Infusions or something? I don’t know, just some possibilities.

EDIT: Maybe the Magic Infusions could work the same way that Agony Infusions work, you combine Essences of Luck for the first infusion and then passed that it would require Essence of Luck+Magic Infusion.

+1
That’s a great idea!

I often spend daily 1 hour farming Air Elementals and Sparks in Malchor’s Leap with an average 6lodestone/hour, sometimes even 3lodestone / 10min.
I do this with MF boosters, thus i have ~330 Magic Find.

But today I got NONE. I got 5 rare items, but no lodestones.

Anyone else experienced this too?

Looks like NA/EU arent important to Anet anymore. Otherwise they would have implemented it during these 9 weeks already. Much disappointment, but no surprise

I assume they will be added soon™ (a month later).

a social solution to price undercutting

Posted by: sMihaly.1492

The problem is the 5% listing fee, that is lost and has to be paid again if you decide to remove your stuff from TP because of undercut , then list it again.

One solution could be moving that 5% to the total 15% after the item is sold, but i’m not sure if thats a good idea.

Legendary Defender of Rata Sum title??

If this exists, then it is a highly guarded achievement. Simple searches result in nothing explaining how to achieve it.

In GW1 there was a title for reaching the max level in tutorial area.

im pretty sure someone else did it in asura tutorial already

and at least for Charr Area i know of 2 people who did that already many months ago

when you COULDNT GET TOMES OF KNOWLEDGE yet
and no lvl 20 Scrolls existed^^

so sadly it doesnt mean anything anymore because of that

but nevertheless congrats to your achievement
(especially if you leveled it without tomes/scroll)

Sorry, i didn’t know about them … thats incredible :O

As long as it took to click the leveling scrolls. Lol.

That’s it
Tho it would take quite long to level up by farming those lvl 1 enemies. There is no scaling so I get 3xp for kills on every level.

The ranged attack idea is pretty bad honestly. The result will be all playing as melee.

If you want to change that much, just go with the trinity.
Tank, Healer and DPS. And make dungeons with mechanics based in the trinity.
And Raids based in the trinity.

At least the Tank and Healer will have more preassure.

Well, you might be right. But the ideal balance should be a fair dmg at ranged, and as the enemies get closer you get increased dmg compared to the “normal”.
But melee range isn’t safe, except for the duration of endure pain. Ranged character will have to keep the distance, melee ones will have to be more careful.
Stacking is fun for one FGS rush, but exploits get boring after a time…

tl;dr
You want more damage on your PVT character while ranging?

No, i’m not bearbow, but this would be certainly good for them too. I main a zerker ele.

Hmmm, still over 1200g for The Legend. I don’t have the time, patience or money to farm, flip or buy that kind of gold or the mats to make rares to feed to the forge. At this point, I think I’ll be abandoning my pursuit of a legendary weapon as I’ll be playing much less over the summer anyway. Perhaps it’s time for another extended break.

Remember this from the manifesto?
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-design-manifesto/

GW2 doesn’t fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs. It doesn’t suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill.

Well, I guess it’s not entirely inaccurate, but if you want anything worthwhile in this game, it’s a terrible grind of farming. They should remove that from the manifesto as it’s completely misleading.

Can i have your stuff?

Hey!
First of all, this is not a nerf-zerker-pls thread!
I know that DPS is the only logical thing to pick in dungeons, and most of the people like to run at maximal efficiency, so do I. Tho I’d still like to see more fun, diversity, challenge, or whatever you call it.

In my opinion,

  • DPS skills should be rebalanced, so single target skills deal WAAAY more dmg than AoE skills, so e.g. 5 backstab thiefs can take down enemies one-by-one, or all 5 focus on one to kill it in a second then hide and kill the next. Or Pick 5 DPS eles with arcane skills, they could spike one enemy and damage the rest at the same time, then kite around and take them down one-by-one.
  • Ranged and melee dmg should be rebalanced, so every ranged skill should deal more dmg the closer the enemy is. So Ranged AoE < Melee AoE <(=?) Ranged Single Target < Melee single target. Risk ~ Reward

Thing that ANet has to do:

  • Rebalance dmg of skills.
  • Improve AI, but make fighting clever AI more rewarding – increase thrash mobs loot quality, mabye we won’t skip them.
  • Reduce overall enemy health pools. Players use dps gear (risking their survival) to actually kill enemies, not to die by boredom. I swung my sword – enemy hp didn’t change at all – I swung it again! – still nothing.

Official Response: Drop Rate of Legendary Precursors

in Crafting

Posted by: sMihaly.1492

sMihaly.1492

As a quick note, the higher the level and rarity of the things you are throwing into the forge, the better your chances of getting a Legendary Precursor.

May I ask what’s the current formula concerning the level of items?

+1: How much does the level of enemies count in terms of precursor drop rate? I mean… I get lvl80 rare items from >lvl10 enemies, does this mean that they can drop exotics too? If so, is that a lower chance or equal to lvl80 enemies?

I’ve noticed that I have to pick Hellfire pieces before i can continue to radiant boots.
Personally i don’t like Hellfire armor, and I’m sure there are people who don’t like Radiant, so i would be happy if i could get the rest of the radiant pieces earlier, rather then picking hellfire ones.

There are people hating me for some reason, i don’t know why, but they keep spamming me to madness.
Once i block & report them, they somehow manage to override it, so they keep spamming messages to me. They change character, or account name, i don’t know how, but it works.

I can’t bear this, can’t use the chat for what i want, can’t read what my friends say, it’s just all full of whispers from people harassing me with unknown letters, that i didn’t even know it’s possible to type in the chat..

Please help me! Seriously! They make me turn of the whole chat panel, thus i cannot communicate with anyone else neither.

Edit:
Recently they tend to find me on Say and Map chats too. They are chasing me i’m afraid.
