Guild Wars 2

Seeing how much GW2 has deviated from the original philosophy, they might just do that.

Gz, waiting for world first pug clear now

already happened bruh

Full clear?

Easiest way to farm sprockets is really to get the watchwork mining pick.

It costs 1k gems, but someone once did a calculation that the investment pays off quite quickly.

Titles mean nothing, get over it xD

Gz, waiting for world first pug clear now

shag.3415:

Just logged in and queued for match. Match starts, all players stay for entire match. Ggs given. Return to hotm and go to queue again. Nope I have 3mins dishonor.

3 mins no big deal (though I didn’t dc). But the debuff will stay and if it happens again they will stack. ????

Why the random dishonor?

Did you cancel the match-ready dialog once?

That doesn’t make any sense though, as you were actually in the game, and devs said dishonor also ticks down while playing. Also, if you would get dishonor because of the cancel, you wouldn’t have been able to play the match.

Seems like a bug to me, better report it.

Zealot is the most zerk healing gear, so there are quite some people that want it, as healing and dps is both needed in raids.

I remember a huge spike in the zealot recipe prices, when it was announced that healing and tanking will become a thing in GW2. At least the recipe prices are down, thanks to the new karma vendors.

Zypher.7609:

Not really, I use LFG everyday for HoT meta maps.

Ask yourself why you have to use LFG everyday….

Because you need an organized group to complete the meta events.

Beast Sos.1457:

You have the whole kitten game.Don’t try to ruin raids for the rest of us.

Thanks. <3

We would be happy if it were so. So plz nerf all other HoT maps, until they can be considered casual.

And make raids twice as hard to compensate. All would be happy.

I soloed Zhaitan as a male asura. Do I get an apple?

Try unranked. Matchmaking is borked anyway, so you can just blame Anet if ppl complain

I played some games as noob thief for dailies and did ok.

1) reading the forums
2) writing replies to threads like this one
3) wondering wtf Anet is doing
4) counting the number of “kitten” in forum posts

Through a portal in the silverwastes, or guildhall. Magus Falls is the region containing the HoT maps.

VB is full… with raiders waiting for their party to fill up.

Roll chronomancer, they’re pretty popular atm. Or engi and reuse the thief armor.

Ranger comes to my mind. If you’re not interested in meta, you can have alot of fun with a bearbow setup.

I play a Reaper while completing old Tyria. Does it count as playing the expansion?

Concerning this discussion, no.

Actually it does. You just gotta read between the lines. Obviously I purhased HoT but Im not in the jungle. So my reason to get the expansion was the GS Reaper. The jungle itself is a turn off hence I’m back to core content working toward map completion. The only reason to play HoT is to fully unlock my elite.

If that’s enough for you, I’m happy for you.

Yes, that is exactly how Anet wanted it. Raids should only be for 1-10% of the playerbase.

Don’t ask me why they thought it a good idea to invest so many resources in something like this.

Edit: This is not the OP post. OP is cited 3 posts below.

Plzplzplz Anet!

Nath Forge Tempete.1645:

60 sec? lel… it takes me 2min 30 to restart the game and come back in (loading screen and slow game start after a crash…)

60 sec is a little excessive … 15 min was way too much … (fix it to 5min)

Maybe make dishonor 3-5 times the time missed or something.

PlayerSkillIssue.9410:

I go mid
I see spiro hunter
me go him
it starts disappears
i keep running
BOOM CHARIZARD
i dodge NO WORK
i block NO WORK
I now downstate

I play guild wars not peekaboo
plz nerf

Don’t go solo mid.

Zealot gear is account bound, so you need to craft it yourself.

At least the recipes are affordable on TP, due to the karma mastery vendors.

Somehow, I’m not motivated at all to go back to the HoT zones (after spending maybe 20 hours in them).

I’m not sure why, but somehow it’s just too stressful (for example organizing VB T4 defense), and it takes a too long time commitment to see a meta event through. It just doesn’t have the magic of the vanilla GW2 content, where you could jump in for 30min and have some fun. You could even do SW breach + VW in that time easily.

In HoT, you need to plan around the 2h meta schedule, taxi around if you want to do the meta, and tangible rewards are abysmal. Also the waiting times for the meta finale are LONG (Tarir between pylons are finished and the defense event takes like 20 min alone, with no rewards unless you win a golden armor, Tangled Depths might take almost an hour, if the events are completed quickly).

For raids, the preparation and involvement are even more prohibiting. I’ll come back to GW2 when more consideration to casual players is given.

Gz! Keep the good work up

I’m not sure what Anet inteded, but allowing squads to LFG would fix that (tbh I expected this to be possible with the new Squad UI). For that, the commander should also be able to set a member limit.

This would also allow it to LFG taxi a full squad of 50 people to a map, which would reduce LFG spam quite a bit, as a commander himself could serve most taxi needs.

And it would also make proper Raid LFG possible.

Daily teq gives 13k karma from the chests, plus some more from the events themselves.

GW2 was a casual friendly game, and many people are quite sad about what their favorite MMO turned into.

That’s all.

Umm, you say your first mesmer is already 80, so what do you mean by leveling?

Fluffball.8307:

What say you? Biggest cry-cry in the history of GW2 when only organized guild groups can complete them after multiple tries? Or farm-mode after gw2dungeons.net publishes the strategy? Place your bets now.

I’m ok with both. If it’s too hard, I won’t care about raids. If it’s on farm, it’s a nice alternative to other farms.

+1, this is pretty kittening.

That would be awesome! I wonder if they had meow golems, too.

According to my calculation, you need to do it 41667 times, if you want 250 ingots 500 times, and get 3 every run.

Around 10 years, if you do DS 24/7.

Too late, they jumped already. Noooooooo

Don’t let EoTM corrupt you!

PPT is what matters, not karma trains (otherwise they could just do EoTM as well).

If you wouldn’t defend the keep, then the small group would just PvD for some time, become bored and quit also. So don’t feel guilty

Zerker is still meta for PvE, maybe together with some viper condi builds now for longer fights.

Let’s see if raids change that.

Edit: Don’t nerf Chronomancer. I like that now, Chronomancer is not part of the meta, but the meta is part of the Chronomancer. Classes are now ranked with how well they perform with alacrity

It might be an exploit, but at the moment everyone does it, and I don’t see Anet banning so many players for that.

Also there has been no response from Anet so far. If they would really consider it as a severe exploit, they would have deactivated molten boss fractal or something.

Waiting for the timer to end inside the puzzle did not help me (and the rest of my guild) to get the rewards.

Did the quaggan guild rush, nobody got a credit (just the guild).

Just logged in to try it. This is definitely a bug. For some reason, mimic doesn’t recognzie itself as a utility skill.

This even happens if I change the slot of mimic just before using it the second time after continuum split.

This interferes heavily with my “Master of Manipulation” triple reflect strat, and needs to be fixed at Anet’s next convenience. Thanks for pointing this out OP.

steppres.9046:

Does anyone know if ArenaNet is working on fixing how WvW server matching works?

No. If they are working on it, they are keeping it a secret.

What I fear is that they are busy with raids, and the team is too small to also consider WvW or anything else really.

Because Anet doesn’t give a kitten about the GW2 manifesto.

+1, great thread!

Ronah Lynda.2496:

Yes, I feel cheated by A-net becasue of introducing the new legendaries when at the beginning they said the legendaries are the ultimate goal.

In other games, your “legendaries” become useless once the next expansion hits. Here, legendaries are guaranteed to be best in slot forever! They are and remain the ultimate weapons.

Just because they add new legendaries does not devalue your old legendaries. Having an old legendary is still a great achievement (unless bought by real money…), and you should be proud of yourself if you achieve that. I don’t see why new legendaries would devaluate that.

I didn’t get puzzle rewards (Langmar Estate) despite being there from the start, contributing on several occasions, and staying until the end, exiting through the official exit.

Gilburt.9146:

December???? Seriously?

You know implementing these changes will take some hours.

And atm Anet needs to spend every minute on raids.

joneirikb.7506:

Honestly, stay put and wait this situation out. At the moment no one knows just what is going to happen, or how much life will return or not to which servers etc.

Or if servers will exist at all in the future.

My recommendation: Enjoy the server you’re on now, try EoTM, and don’t waste gems/gold on a transfer.

vespers.1759:

As a ranger I have been conditioned to hate balance patches.

I actually like that they aren’t knee jerking with the balance in favour of waiting for things to settle a bit… just kidding ranger has already had a kittenton of knee jerk nerfs.

One of the few balance changes was actually a druid nerf…

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Vieux P.1238:

I thought of that to. Guild housing as everything else has to be well centered around stuff to make it lively & interesting to hang. There is gonna have to have thought put into it to make it work. As of everything else into this game.

Theyve already said they didn’t put in crafting tables because they didn’t want people to go there to craft instead of going to a city or WvW. It’s very likely that they do not want guild halls to be more than a spot for guild members to meet for guild reasons. They don’t want to spread out the player base too thin, and making guild halls more attractive to be in than cities would pull people out of cities, which is not what they want.

What’s the whole point of guild halls then? Gey your buff, mine the nodes, and bb until next day?

I’d wager they include some class balancing. Though only with respect to raids, lol.
