Problem is that people don’t check the other listings, they just list their item at the same price (or below) the lowest current listing, which screws the value of the item over completely.
Wrong. If I want to sell something worth 30G, first i click: Buy more on Trading Post, to check how buy and sell listings look like. Then i decide, if i want to sell my item now, or wait.
Thats not wrong. Just because you check doesnt meant most people do. People create walls all the time because of pointless undercutting. Usually only happens on cheaper items but it still happens and its very irritating. So many mats arent worth selling on the tp thanks to excessive undercutting.
All you end up doing is making one person happy or creating a new wall at a much lower price and still not getting yours sold that fast. If you want a fast sale then just sell to the buy order or undercut by a small amount and leave it for a day… There is no reason to undercut by so much because most people dont check and will undercut you buy small amounts each time regardless of price.
Most of the people who wanted challenging content wanted it in the form of elite dungeons. Not an open world event that depends on hundreds of useless pugs.
I dont mind a challenging open world boss so long as it teaches players to stop being mindless #1 spammers but i think anet overestimated the open world player ability and organisation. It can be done but it requires very good organisation and understanding along with 6 competant turret users and good zerg dps (ele frostbow and fgs). Organisation is the biggest issue and its even worse on eu servers due to language barriers.
I will admit this is the first open world event ive actually enjoyed a little bit due to it not being a boring spamfest faceroll. But I cant see myself farming it. Ill get it done a few times over the event and then just go back to my unsupported dungeons.
Ill repeat you’re going to need conjure eles summoning FGS and frostbows for mass aoe on teq. Just run standard dps builds in pvt gear for the frontline group and make them pick up the bows and fgs’s.
If you fail the first attempt just pull a few front groups out and clear them. Then retry with melee and reflects. We had to do that because our guard decided to dc/lag out just as the swarm spawned and we werent ready for that to happen lol.
People were struggled to kill him before the patch in 15minutes even when just full dpsing the whole time. Not sure what anet were thinking with the timeframe they have set. On the other hand maybe they are trying to force the bad players to gear better and learn. Honestly wonder how much faster meta events would go if all the condition specced people changed into power mainstat gear. Cause at the moment they just scale events up and leech. I think the openworld population was severely overestimated in ability. But we shall see over the next few days.
If you swap forceful gs for deep strike the might stacking isnt an issue anymore. With that change is the dps brought closer to 30/10/0/0/30 when running heal signet and signet of fury?
Yeah those are the things which are great to see in record attempts. But they clearly arent intended by the devs, which is why I think HC taking the high ground is a bit ironic just like Cookie said.
I have to say the things I enjoy watching the most about the record times are the simple but effective tactics like shadow refuge to skip half the spiders in malrona’s room in TAUP (Another unintended “exploit” HC have used lol).
Zeal
II: Hopefully your foe is burning
IV: Apply Aegis as you’re about to be downed
V: 50% Increased downed damage.
Valor
III: Lose health 33% slower when downed
Honor
III: Symbols are larger (skill 3)
VII: Symbols last longer (skill 3)
X: All symbols heal allies (skill 3)
Gear and weapons are whatever you feel like for the most part, preferably Staff/GS so you can put symbols down just before you get downed. Maybe some healing power so your symbols heal better. Or zerker gear so you can get some okay damage in before you reach the optimal downed state.
Playstyle/effectiveness
DPS your foes as much as possible while you are up. Try to avoid symbols at this point as they heal and you want to be in the downed state. As you approach the downs, hit aegis and GS skill 4, Staff skill 3. When downed use skill 3 as often as possible, but mostly you will be using skill 1. If you are serious trouble you can try skill 2 to buy yourself some valuable DPS or heal time. Using skill 4 is a hot topic of debate, really you shouldn’t need it as the symbol will heal you fairly well and that way you can focus on DPS.
I have many deaths but most of those were from when i was casually being useless in openworld leveling and taking on things that I had no idea how much they would kick my kitten. I also died alot more when i use to think my supporty wells necro build was good. When i first switched to zerker I died alot but i quickly adapted and improved. People who never make the switch will always have a difficult time improving.
Hmm i dont really agree with that. But I dont agree with them saying FGS is an exploit either. Sure its unintended and from what ive heard its probably going to be fixed pretty soon. But as long as its available you can use it imo.
We should probably compile a list in this subforum. Not many people go to guru. I tried creating an account but never recieved the confirmation email. :P
WvW is a bit more reliant on base stats due the nature of zerg vs zerg. But even so ive survived plenty in zerker just by using blinds, dodges and DS. If you do get caught in an aoe blast your pretty much instagibbed without some vit or toughness though. In spvp it has a role but its not the main factor in survivability.
Thats what it says on the wiki yeah but how does that alter the formula then? subbing in 80 instead of 969 is going to produce some pretty weird results.
Yes I know that but that still means 100b hits for 40k total. Warrior is probably the easiest to get decent damage in a pug due to self buffing. Other classes are a bit more reliant on group boons and buffs.
Yeah dont see why people are saying its dishonourable. If thats dishonourable then so is every solo in this thread due to avoiding the bubble. Nice job.
I really need to learn how to control lupi’s movement. Had him go halfway round the room on my necro the other day lmao.
I wanted to be of the opinion that pretty much everything is legit like it was in gw1. But gw2 introduced jumping and with things like the arah p4 jumping puzzle I think things like map exploits should be avoided. Also i dont really think unique consumables should be used but I dont mind too much about them.
So basically go through the whole dungeon without skipping any required objectives. But as far as fights go things like fiery rush or stacking on the coral for ooze are allowed until anet fixes them.
I dont understand why people are leaving it till the end to kick people. Such a scumbag move. If i have a problem with a pug I will kick them as soon as possible unless its near the end of a path. Only time i will kick near mid way through is under extreme circumstances.
Yeah I ended up camping axe pretty much the whole time 2 or more locusts were around (which was like 90% of phase 1 thanks to my luck lol). Whenever he summoned some it would be 2 at a time. Also it seems strange but i was taking more damage (atleast it seems that way) than you per bite but I was using dolyak signet for the stunbreak.
When doing the champ wolf you want to get someone to bait out the leaps before losing round into the corner. Otherwise people get downed.
The first boss in SE p3 you just wanna cc him into the wall and burn him down as fast as possible and take lots of condi removal. Also just dodge when he burrows cause that really hurts aswell as stacking bleeds.
Nice to see a solo with someone who seems to actually get ridiculous amounts of locust spawns. Just annoyed it always happens to me and if i root myself for 100b i lose all my hp in seconds whereas you seem to get a couple of hits and then the locusts go afk. T_T
