Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately you wont be dealing big damage if you want to boost your survivability. All elements are essential, you will realise this once you become more familiar with the class. Water skills don’t do much damage (though #2 on dagger and also #2 on staff are decent) but if specced right, switching to Water will cure all conditions on you, heal you and allies, and a dodge roll will also remove conditions. That’s pretty neat imo, and the enemies hate it.
It’s not easy and takes a while to get good at the Ele in PvP but once you know which traits you need and where all your skills are in all elements then it’s quite rewarding. Just never stand still.

^haha yes, it is great when you’re immobilized – I always laugh and say a silent “thank you!” to my opponent when it happens in PvP.

The only time this skill annoys me is when I’ve been mashing 3 to rez myself from downed state, and I waste “alive time” whirling off away from the fight.

Loved it all, except for the BLC gambling. I didn’t like the “second chance” thing either. I would have been better off saving the boosters I got on the first chance. Apart from that though I thought it was really good.

A ranged cripple, bleeds, a dash, a very strong whirl, and ofc 100 blades. All really good skills. It can be annoying when 100b misses, but hey you can’t have it all. At least it has a short cooldown so you can try again in a few seconds. Personally I like it, but I do need to experiment with the other weapons a bit more.

Agreed. Really enjoyed the events so far. The activities are cool but what really stands out to me is the decoration. Great job there.

Ah if they’re just standard Exotics then I’m not bothered. Wonder if anyone got anything super cool though.

Same happened to me… solo’d it, went to grab the chest, game disconnects just before I get to it

What did the lucky ones get from it?

What a bizarre thread. No one is “forcing” you to do this 5 minute (theoretically) long piece of content. There’s so much more you can do in the Halloween events, yet you make out like the Clock Tower is all they have given us. It’s the smallest part of the whole event.

Who is forcing you to keep trying it?
Why do you keep trying it?

Hello,

I recently moved to Seafarer’s Rest and am looking for an active guild that likes to work together in WvW (amongst other things). English speaking preferably. Hoping to find a cool bunch of people who I can eventually call friends, make jokes with etc.

Level 80 Elementalist full Exotics, also leveling a Warrior, will have Exotics when 80.
Have lots of time to play at the moment, love all parts of the game from PvE, Dungeons, Farming, sPvP, I like it all.

Please send some links my way or ask any questions here.

Thank you

ps. I’m from UK but have a friend or two who may come with me who are from America, but we can talk about that later

Thanks for the tip. I do enjoy this game mode, especially as there’s no downed state. Makes a nice change.

Is this the one with the skeletons, and putting the pumpkins in your base? If so, I’d like to ask what you’re actually supposed to do with the pumpkins. I take them to the shelter things but when I get there I am unsure of what to press. Do you just drop them there? I did that but nothing happened. Are you supposed to press 1 or 2?

Probably just fixing bugs in the events. I’m sure if it was anything major they would let us know.

Wow, that is complete domination. I can see this argument from both sides. On the one hand, yes, you did this to yourselves, but I don’t blame people for trying their best to win, that’s what most of us do. It just doesn’t always work out when you do win, but I see this more as a game fault than a player fault. I don’t believe it is fair to hate the players on that server for pointing out a legitimate problem. Some of them chose that as their first server and had no idea what they were getting into, some probably don’t want to PvP at all but want the monthly.

Don’t mind the tedious 9gaggers, I enjoyed your story
Less people complaining, more amusing anecdotes please!

I think they’re great. Luckily for you, if you don’t like jumping, you don’t have to do the “jumping puzzles”.

Hello I don’t have a guide but some tips:

Speak to the NPC’s in LA near the Forge to get information about carving pumpkins and whatnot. Pumpkins are scattered around not just LA but other areas too. You don’t need any special tools to carve them, just press the interact button.

Make sure you have some mining picks, and head over to Queensdale to mine the Candy Corn nodes. They appear on your minimap just like regular Copper/Mithril etc. You use the Candy Corns as a temporary currency to either buy things, or use this spirit detector gun thing in LA, though I’m having trouble understanding this myself at the moment.

I found some doors in Queensdale, you interact with them and a monster comes out that you kill for rewards.

If you had spent your 20,30,50 dollars or more on gold instead of keys you would have enough money to afford just about anything in the game.

This is so completely and utterly false. Do you have any idea at all how much gold you get from 20,30,50 dollars? Do you have any idea what the most expensive things in game cost? Have a look before replying.

At the current exchange rate over the last 30 minutes, you will get 16,24, or 40 gold. Most expensive item is chainsaw greatsword at 33 gold and dropping.

And this isn’t as high as the peak exchange rate.

Completely and utterly false, right bra * roll eyes *.

No idea what that last sentence means… I can only assume it is yet another generic 9gag reference or daft internet casualty slang.

But as for the rest of it, you said that amount of money will buy you anything in game. Not sure where you’re looking but my non-rolling eyes are seeing items over 300g. I’ll go ahead and assume you worded your post poorly and meant to say any Halloween item, in which case you’d still be wrong, as the Chainsaw skin is now 79g, and rising.

This is what the trolls seem to forget. Most people here have played a few F2P games and know the normal way they do business but expected ANet to be above those practices. I personally was giving them a chance because GW1 was so great. GW2 is a fun game, but cash shops leave a bad taste in my mouth, I was hoping for something different but now that I see it’s exactly the same and have lost any desire I had to continue fueling this. Getting out before it gets even worse this time.

Yes exactly this. I didn’t play GW1 but I did play some awfuly greedy F2P games. Hated how they preyed on the weak with absolutely no remorse. I was under the impression that GW2 would be different to this, with the whole “forget everything you know about MMO’s, we’re doing things differently here” spiel. I knew I was being naive. I knew it would be the same. They got rid of a concrete Trinity blah blah blah, but that sucker-punch gamble is still right there.

Look at how unhappy your customers are, Anet. What say you?

Anyone have a list of names to search tp for please?

Not sure what nerf means in this context. Making it easier to get one? I don’t mind either way, I have little interest in Legendaries.

I would also like this option. Sometimes I don’t want to be reading that one comment over and over again, especially if it’s an offensive one. I was in PvP recently and someone said something abusive in /say, and it was still there on my screen for an hour after, even though I had left the Mists, and even switched character. I don’t want to see that for an hour.

Hello,

please consider adding a ‘sort’ button next to ‘deposit’ and ‘withdraw’ in our banks so that when clicked all items of the same type that are not full stacks will be placed on top of each other, and also grouped together such as all different dungeon tokens next to each other, crafting mats together etc.
I would love to see this implemented as it is quite a time-consuming search sometimes to find what I am looking for, and my bank looks messy.

Thank you.

(sorry if repost, I did search but found no thread about it already)

Yes, please consider turning the auto rotation thing off, it’s quite irritating having to battle with it. Thank you.

It’s not a waste of money if you a) are going to the area anyway or b) don’t die a lot. It can however be a waste of time. You can really dominate any event with a chest at the end and still get junk, so I don’t believe it’s based on damage dealt, providing you get a gold medal I think it’s all the same chances. This is however speculation so I could be wrong.

Make friends with someone on the opposing server and have them wipe them out regularly? Or switch server and do it yourself?

Out of the ones I have tried:

Elementalist (PvE)
Thief (PvP)
Warrior (Both)
Ranger was really boring for both

Mixed, but mostly very negative. Decent people on Far Shiverpeaks are few and far between, so far. I’ve been called, or seen others be called a plethora of vile names, arrogance, elitism, people being kicked from parties right before the last boss dies, and I’ve also been told to go kill myself.

I hate this server. Though I honestly doubt it’s much different anywhere else.

Sometimes, after I die and it goes to the loading screen, it gets stuck on it and I have no choice but to shut the game down. Feel bad letting my team down like that.

Nice sword, fellow. Did you steal it from a Museum in Divinity’s Reach? One went missing recently, there are posters all over the town about it. 100g reward.

I love Dagger Ele but think the Fire 1 attack should be quicker.

D/D, 25 points into Earth, 15 to Water, Pow/Toughness on all your gear, the heal signet with passive regeneration, the one with passive toughness…

…now you can almost survive, if you never use your 7-0 skills except for the passives, and they’re all defensive skills.

Welcome to the Strugglentalist.

Hadn’t had any until recently, got a few from common mobs in Orr. Never from a chest though.

Let’s not deny it, the skill was OP. I’m not saying there aren’t other classes with OP skills, or that there aren’t more important, positive (for us) changes that should have been dealt with first, but that skill really was too powerful. I do think they should have at least reduced the cooldown at the same time, though.

This is so unfair. If the party leader quits or disconnects, everyone else’s time and effort is destroyed? Why are we all kicked as well? Can’t leadership just be passed to someone else? This keeps happening and it makes running these great dungeons a real burden.

Please, please change this. It makes no sense to me, being punished so harshly for the actions of another.

The 1 copper for 100% Lion’s Arch was… amusing. At least give us enough to use a waypoint!

Or a wishing well to throw it into.

And what do you use them for?

I have Knight’s Pow/Prec/Tough with Balthazar Runes for general leveling, a rare MF set for farming. I started making a condition damage set but not sure if it’s worth it, wondering if other Ele’s use them? Wondering about a vitality/healing set for dungeons, so that my healing signet of restoration will keep me alive more. Thoughts? What do you use?

I use mostly D/D btw, but sometimes Staff for dungeons.

Hi Meinke,

I’m afraid for a lot of people it’s getting to the point now where we just give up reporting them altogether, as the same bots continue to camp at the ‘hot’ farm/event spots for days, even weeks on end. Not only this but new ones crop up too, in the same places. Every day I log in to see these botters with zero action taken against them and it gives the impression that a) nothing is being done about it and b) nothing will be done about it. I feel so sorry for people who were originally banned for bad language, even the early karma weapon exploiters, compared to what these guys are getting away with. Is this game turning into Lord of the Flies already?

I have nothing to add to the discussion but I’m signing the petition in the hopes that more complaints about the issue = higher chance of it being prioritized.

Being downed in PvP, I also sometimes save myself the frustration and just let the enemy finish me off without fighting. It feels like my options are:
-Press 1: throw a tiny feather at the enemy every 10 seconds, through a wall of tar, like punching in a dream
-Press 2: do nothing, also through a wall of tar, in slow motion
-Wait until I can press 3: move from death spot A to death spot B, 2 metres away, then die there instead
Press 4: Selflessly give the enemy some extra satisfaction when they finish me, and the excuse to yell “DENIED!” outloud.

The more people say it, the more likely it will be considered. It’s sad that I can do a lot better in PvP on a new level 1 char and spam random skills than I can on my level 80 Ele that I’m much more familiar with.

Agree!
Please consider this option for us, it’s quite tedious as it is. I like to use all the different weaps/combinations a lot and they’re never in any specific order (please give us a ‘sort bag’ function too!)

Every game needs “that” zone – the zone that gives you anxiety when you don’t want to be there, but is always open to you when you want a challenge and are in the mood for it. It feels to me like I’m in the Running Man or Terminator, exhausting all my skills to run to my destination, only to find out it’s been overrun by angry apes or nasty little antisocial things, that all want to kill me.

Who needs open world PvP when there’s a high chance of getting ganked by a group of OP mouth-breathers anyway?

These are very good, thank you for sharing with us. The only criticism I can think of is that the boobs on the Ranger look a bit awkward. Did you have difficulty with that part? My favourites are the first one, the Norn Thief (the lighting on the right hand side of the picture is beautiful) and the black and white one. Please show us more when you complete them

I’m having trouble with this quest also. The Eye is quite glitchy but I get through it each time. The problem for me is once it’s dead, and the guards come in to attack, I have no sound for any of my skills. I kill all the guards anyway while Trahearne does his thing, then I lose all sound completely and my computer crashes. It happens every time in the same place and I can’t complete the quest.
