Guild Wars 2

i got one yeah reported as well

In SFR i have no problem PvEing i dont know about most pve server thou. With the help of gw2lfg.com it shouldnt be hard to dungeon and what-not. If you mean lowlevel leveling i’ve seen ppl in most maps in SFR but mind you i have not leveled an alt in the normal way last 2 months.

Sola.7250:

It seems if your not cheating or running bots (still seem them every day at resource nodes) you just can’t get ahead.

i read this a lot..and people cant be more wrong. if you wont bother to find out how to make gold – and i dont talk about playing tp or farming an event over and over. You can make gold by making different things and 1-2 hour per day will get you ahead. If you want to FARM efficently..oh boy then you can get a lot of gold for 1-2 hour a day – a gain no TP or exploit or anything.

The amount of people wanting everything on a golden plate is starting to kitten me off tbh.

Magiofdeath.2745:

Ok, then I just got lucky more than once with corrputed lodestones and found 2-3 in an hour and unlucky more than one with charged lodestones and found 0-1 in 2 hours (using same amount of magic find). Yeah, I don’t think so. Whether its because you need Dwayna’s temple taken over in order to efficiently farm the mob that drops charged lodestones or the droprate is actually worse, it doesn’t really matter – the droprate seems off. I’ve seen numerous people with incinerator on my server, for example, and that requires 100 destroyer lodestones and 100 molten lodestones, and those are cheaper by 2g or more per lodestone than charged lodestones, and destroyer lodestones have even less farmable areas than charged lodestones.

They drop the same.. i have no problem farming onyx myself for example problem with charged is they are needed for all the cool exotics. some need 250 of them. AND THEN coe is one of least farmed dungeon.

It is what player-base decides. If destroyer items were popular instead of charged then trust me you’d see the same thing about destroyer.

What ANET can do about this is that they can add more resources for charged. Like they did with fractals. If they say from now on charged drops in Asc. catacombs that’ll solve all this problem.

But what you say is really wrong.. they drop the same..just farmed less/more.

So… i’m having hard time understanding the issue here.. legendaries cost a lot of gold on TP and if you already have the gold you need for a legendary rest is easy to obtain anyway.

if the issue is that you have 1k hour play and no legendary while someone else has more than 2.. well sad to say you had other goals then. with 1k play it is almost impossible to not have a legendary unless that is NOT your goal.

I have 1300 hour playtime.. i stopped farming crazy after 1st legendary, i have 2 legendaries 2 level 80s with lots of exotics quiet a bit time spent in WvW to get a title even done ALL dungeons all paths multiple times (except arah 4th path..keeps bugging.) Had my time fooling around.

Not once i used a credit card..heck i dont own a credit card or real money or got lucky. I dont play the TP i can show you my TP transactions. I can probly prove i got no gold buy if there is a list somewhere in account. Sadly i cant prove i didnt get lucky precursor. I got a precursor and sold for 100g which is also cn be shown in transactions. (That is after my 1st legendary anyway). Can show my other 2 precursors bought on TP.

Now all left is that i exploit right? That is up to anet to prove. Not once i exploited thou.. i am all about farming events/dungeons fast runs whatever is the most profitable at the time. People in my server seen me farm so much i think SFR players can tell im legit anyway

What is my point? Make a goal..go for it.

A legendary while playing the game however i want and having fun while doing nothing boring and not farming just fooling around.

That is NOT a goal.

I’ll happy once they make sure on big graphic mobs rush hits the target instead of rushing in melee range on the same spot till cast is over with no attack.

Yea i am not sure which annoys me more..the fact that things are bugged in this path OR that Anet tells nothing about it.

Simin is not bugged why would that be funny to read? Simin is easy actually..you just need specific tools, aka high dps.

On topic same thing just happent to us.. lupicus will not go enemy stays friendly.. 2 days ago last boss did not spawn in path4 after we downed Simin. So we decided to try again and boom lupicus is bugged now.

I’m telling you arenanet at least tell us it is in your list to fix these or exclude arah path4 from dungeon master.

Me and my friend just started to get this bug. So something happent apperantly ive NEVER EVER had it before.

I had it in cof map and in ta map which i go daily for weeks. I also play with sound closed in game no help. Have to restart client to get rid of it

hah Title would be sweet as i only need that path as well but i doubt they’ll do that.. i just wnt to know they are working on this.. that is all. Currently seems like they are NOT working on this..

it cannot be so hard to..lets say remove the last event and summon the boss right away after previous boss is dead.

So this is still bugged after monthS. Are you even working on fixing this or this is like lowest possible prioty for you that you keep skipping it?

I’m talking about last boss not spawning bug. kill mobs surronding the shard even after we kill them.

I’ve just done 3x AC EXP and 2x TA EXP afterwards… on the second TA i got 45 tokens as end reward.

My question: Do different dungeons effect eachother on diminishing or can you simply hit DR on your 2nd run? Note: All paths were different.

Dinks.2478:

Flyfunner.2093:

Lol so many elitists here. 100g is still a lot for a casual (almost hardcore) tier player. The most I can make is maybe 20g in a few days and that’s just straight up grinding

Yeah. They expect everybody to just grind for 30 days straight. Don’t try to enjoy the game. Even anet admitted the precursor situation was wrong which is why they’re adding the scavenger hunt. These people are just elitists and their kind will never stop trying to flaunt it.

No they expect people that like to do other stuff or play the game less to be able to understand that if they made legendaries an easy goal for YOUR kind then i’d probably have 6 or by now. So much for legendary.

i cant play a lot so it has to be easier
i like to do other things so it has to be avaible/easier taking into account what I like to do

these are the most selfish things ive seen on these forums about legendaries.

As i said i totally agree on scavenger hunt.. but i also hope it’ll take as long as making the 250-300g.

Anet told the mindless farm was wrong which is true, they said the gold was going out of hand once items reached 500g also true.. and since then ALL of the precursors were avaible for more than 2 weeks for less than 300g. Even before karka event. If you really wanted the legendary you’d buy them once they are cheap. Things go expensive and cheaper all the time it is a live market.

And 100g for almost hardcore is nothing a month. 10g a day takes 4-5 hours if you farm or do dungeons up to you. If you know some of good farm places it is even easier buy hey? casuals dont have to do any research either right..they are special.

If you thought hacks didnt exist in other MMOs you were a fool.

If it is dead i suggest you leave game and mail me your gold.

ShaiHulud.7410:

Dusk is now 600 g on TP.
Dawn is 400 G.
etc.

Good job Arena Net!

So, when do we get that scavanger hunt for precursors?

I am sick and tired of seeing 1 thousand gold buyers roaming LA with their shiny legendaries whilst others are farming 100 gold in 1 month.

Such jealousy. Ive bought dawn for 250g -before- karka event. It was even lower after that. You know…when people said it was 400g?….

100g in a month simply means you either dont have much free time to make gold or you are really terrible at making gold. Nothing else.

People with no gold / gem buy got their 2nd legendaries.

Now on the real topic: Gief scavanger hunt! im excited about it as well

*The number of players who qualify for a chest but did not receive one at this point should be very small. If you participated in the Lost Shores event and never received a chest – either during the event or though this week’s distributions — please follow these steps:

Empty your mailbox (to make room for the in-game mail)
Wait a couple of hours to allow things to shift around within the mail system. (It may not be necessary to wait if the box is empty, but I’m making the suggestion because I’ve seen it work for others.)
If you do not have a transmittal email after, say, Noon Pacific (3:00 PM EST; 8:00 GMT; 9:00 PM CET) today, please submit a ticket to Support with the subject line “Missing Karka Chest.” Don’t worry, you don’t need to send that ticket immediately, just when it’s convenient. (I put the time to allow the dust to settle and to see if a few more chests shift into people’s mailboxes.)

These tickets will be sent to a special queue for a review. Please allow a few days for this review. From what I’ve observed on the forums, there are a few “edge cases” that will require a pretty significant amount of research, so your patience would be appreciated.*
——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Instead you make a thread like this. I really do not understand people sometimes. Make a ticket..explain..wait for a couple days.

On the topic of more than a chest: They specificly said: IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. If you got a chest hooray..if not and think you should send a ticket.. comparing chest numbers with eachother is something they told pointless. Do you not read the dev posts even i do and i had a chest.

you guys know that someone got in-game spam whispers and mails – hatred messages – after the arah nerf cause he simply made atopic about it on forums.

I believe when the word troll is used.. it really means that. Nothing to be offended about. My friends call me a troll due to the …well trolling i make with friends and friends of friends (trolling against randoms is bad.) So why would anyone be offended by it? it is..a personality type nothing more. Immature one if you dont know where the fun ends.

Search dev posts.. been a while.

Luna.9640:

16 hours later still no chest.

Providing a screenshot not enough for Anet i assume.

Don’t know what else i can do more probably i should quit (or should have quit already)

Please do.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/lostshores/OFFICIAL-Ancient-Karka-made-me-rich

Luna: P.S. I quit after 1:30 minutes after it started since it was too late in here and i had to sleep and get to work

New Luna: I WAS THERE OMG WTH I NEED CHEST WHAT ON EARTH GIMME I HAVE SCREENSHOT.

Anything im missing?

weve fought Xaoc a lot before ^^ :p

Aaaand.. seems BB guilds are back?

heck i once died with the blueprint on me it drops on gro und then too ..wonder if enemy can atke it haha

Warrior’s endura pain in no way makes you invulnerable, you still get hit via conditions.

I believe it basicly means things such as the invulnerable BUFF you get.. like getting up from downed state gives you.

haviz.1340:

So let’s all play ranged hm? We gonna do so much dps that way. Melee is high risk, high reward, unexperienced people will bring your team down, that’s obvious.

/outofthisthread. Probably a mesmer talking high on immune buttons.

Editted to remove the part where it seems i was lowering myself to your position.

Do people EVEN READ? i give up. is it possible for me to close my own thread?

Strifey.7215:

lol, subtle never ran dungeons in a good group.

If we are gonna make smart comments then my answer is: I was probably killing lupicus in greens and melee(except first phase which is the problem of the design i mean.) while you were still leveling.

On topic: This design of Anet shines most in fractals. And in any other dungeon you still have a harder time in melee but in fractals if you are trying to make it most efficent you go ranged. That’s that. (What you do in those videos only work till a point in fractals.)

If you honestly dont see even in your own video how you need so many buffing and supporting to melee – or if you really think that is how it should be – then i really dont think i should reply to you.

Why do people always turn things into: I HAZ IMBA PARTIEH WE CAN DO IT IF OUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO DO THAT AS A TEAM. This mentality belongs to raids(wow-term) or world-first races. Not to every dungeon in the game.

Melee vs Ranged should never be balanced according to what a specific party can do. They should have their time to shine on certain things but it should never be to melee you need x and y and z and more focus and faster reflexes. See the point now?

Sorry if the post is a bit offensive as im quiet sleepy and hungry..and and.. i love you.

I believe what he is trying to say is:

If the guardian pulls you – you should not be pulled inside the evade animation. Earlier the thief skill basilik venom did this and got fixed.

Thief venom: Next attack turns target into stone – hits you with it while you are in evade animation – evade is cancelled and you are stunned before evade is over.

Guardain pull: Guardian hits his skill on you. Then he presses pull – even if you are in evade animation – he pulls you.

At least this is what i understood from the posts. I have no clue if thief skill worked that way..or actually got fixed..or even if guardian skill works that way.

Sigh… mates I KNOW how the game and mechanics works.. i just asked for a fast way to skip them and got only 1 idea.. i think topic served it purpose althou i hoped for some better answers. Thank you all.

Blackwolfe.5649:

I can only speak for sub-lvl9 difficulty, but Im meleeing just fine at any of the fractal bosses even though I do switch to scepter on occasion if only to contribute at least some damage while Im avoiding things (like waiting for a too high frostbite stack to wear off at the frost shaman boss).

1st of all you shouldnt wait for frostbite stack to wear off instead let him hit you some more and go in iceblock which resets the stacks.

on topic: That is exactly the issue. You have to always get out of melee on almost all bosses and lose DPS time while not doing more DPS it simply decreases your viability. And the stacks you talk about come on you so high every 3 secs or so on top of tha t the breath.

Esplen.3940:

In the dredge boss I’m either pulling or wearing a ranged weapon then I swap to melee as it gets to the droppoint and I immobilize —> attack. I also use it as panic dodge.

Mate i did say that mesmers and thieves can go in melee on a CD basis. Sorry if you missed that part. Yes you have this ability to go invul for so many seconds and thieves cn avoid hits. Thats it thou.

So no that is not about being able to melee. That is about being invulnerable. Not every weapon every class has that option..actually it is a VERY limited option in this game.

If they make legendary any easier – which i mean..flat easier.. i’m all okey with changing the way we farm for it. – i want a free legendary for all the work i’ve put in making this 2.

Sorry bro if people cry about them being too hard and get what they want then i also want something out of it.

First of all: You CANNOT always melee. Everyone that played this game so far knows this. You can always range.

Secondly: Most of the time that you -can- melee you are better off ranged. It is a resource/risk vs reward thing and the reward is not there therefor it most of the time makes no sense being melee. (There are like.. so little encounters where meleeing is good.)

So if this is about *can*s then i’d say you CANT always melee. If this is about viability.. it is not viable.

Some speed runs are done by a group of 5 people that know eachother and all go melee in dungeons which is cool, yet they still have to go ranged on some encounters.

In fractals.. you are being a bad apple to your group. Even if it is level 10 or 20.

yea i can solo range dps that boss as well.. will try that on the harpies althou.. you sure their knockback is not ground targeted but targeted where you might be in x seconds ?

i cant edit that post, it keeps double posting the first part sorry about that. on edit it shows normal but nothing changes
i also tried to add this to previous post…which made it triple-repeat the first part so..typing here.

Barbarka.9362:

Part of the group that is tired of these lame tactics that take 3x as long if you fail to pull them off and ya. and when stuff gets bad these types of players cant hack it.

Understand.. but that is really off topic mate. And a sidenote i get randoms that either listen or already know what to do more than i get people that can ruin a run.

Understand.. but that is really off topic mate. And a sidenote i get randoms that either listen or already know what to do more than i get people that can ruin a run.The mesmer skills i’ll ask my brother (mesmer in group) and see. But there is not a easy way apart from mass invis then. MEH!

Esplen.3940:

I don’t sacrifice anything to melee and I run a melee weapon for every fractal.

Please do show. And i dont mean it in a sarcastic way.. if there is a way i’d really love to see and practise.

If there is a faster way people will start using it even if not at first. Why you think all the people step on grasses and the edge of road? saving 2 seconds tops thats why!

On topic: So far i could only think killing first 3 harpies on 1st jump and first 2 on 2nd jump then mass invis the way with projectile reflect of mesmer on last mob.

Anyone got a better idea? With thief i suspect you can pretty much stealth all group from start to end but i do not have a thief in group

Ofc you will mate.. many people after reaching a certain level start to level their alts in fractal (Level as in dungeon level) So trust me you’ll find!

Why do you feel so special that you had to make another thread? And why am i replying to it? slaps both

So again someone tells: You have to sacrifice a lot to do some dps.

Sacrificing stats – skill slots only to do less dps. And this is a problem imo. They have to increase the reward of meleeing or remove this design philosophy.

I only tell these because i LOVE to melee yet since i like to bring best i can to a group i decided to go ranged – change traits for melee on trash – back to ranged on bosses.

Range > Melee in all aspects. (Survivability / DPS / Support)

Barbarka.9362:

You could just fight them. and not stand in the red circles?

tyu.9470:

The harpies man. Now i just made the anti melee post so you can see i know at least a bit about instances so feel free to skip the noob talk.

Anyone got a good and fast way to do them? Especially with randoms? I almost always have 2 randoms in group and.. it takes so much time to kill them all you know? Anyone using a good tactic to skip those?

I actually typed some stuff then thought i was being an kitten so deleted.. really thou.. what made you think i -dont- know how GW2 works?

Yea he was trying to show me the range of axe. Yet it feels it wont be enough..as i said i’ll try again next time. Also feel free to help me out on the harpy thread

I have a mesmer in group no thief thou. (Invis purposes.) Just lookin for advices like the gnarl start area where you run on top where the boulders come so gnarls come in a single way. Since i learnt that that start is so easy with randoms.. looking for something similar if there is any.

Okey are we talkin on same thing? i meant the grawl knockback ability..which if i didnt see wrong has no animation on ground .. it is just that..360 degree knockback in a medium range.

That range does not seem enough..but what the heck? i’ll give it another try with gs then axe and will see.

apperantly it was time to admit fotm has failed…in your opinion and you did so.. really? With a title like that.. i doubt this is a good post.

I dont ever even look at the icon.. i swing it till miss miss miss disappears 1 step at a time. I’ll try to make a screenshot of it, maybe terrain helps can you tell where the boss was so i can see?

Shaikhob.2863:

..

Gnarl: I’m 100% sure GS max range gets hit. Not even gonna argue on that.
Gnarl Ele: lol
Snow: I’ve tried – with shout build and full yellows it is not possible – you already do really low dps due to the build AND you also get iceblocked like a penguin lose even more and then you still fall on the ground. – Again if you avoid his breath which is not hitting to ranged then you still get hit by his melee hits that turn you into iceblocks no matter. – Again my point.

Jelly: You cant break the stun. Well you can – you have to time it right and evade outside of his AoE range or you’ll get hit by it again. it is a repeated stun. I can and i dont think anyone should need to do that. Also jelly knocks you back in melee which makes you lose dps time YET AGAIN. – And i pretty much would not like to that to my group just so i -can- melee.

Ascalon – exactly.

Maw – Yes the point is that why is it there? only to bother melee some more nothing else. Nothing smart about it.

I feel like i am just defending this but i just do not see anything worthful in what you typed. Really i am not your random party member that knows nothing. I have 4 different sets of armor 2 of these are exotics 2 rares i do test a lot of builds.

Some replies seem to be about * i can do it it is hard but possible* it is hard AND NOT REWARDING and sometimes impossible is the idea.

Shaikhob.2863:

It’s not hard to react to getting aggro >.>

^^ is this even a serious post? even with rifle mossman follows me 7/24. (It is fun too.)
Melee him? Yeah if you go support tanky build and… well see the snowy boss.

Many people never seen one drop. With 1100 hours played ive seen one – which was from the lost shore event chest. Question is how many 80 exotics you have seen anyway Drew?

There are screenshots that ive seen from: Mystic forge – random mob in orr – event chest in orr – boss chest in a dungeon – jumping puzzle chest in WvW. So i’m quiet confident when i say if it can drop an exotic..it can drop a precursor.

Im not 100% sure but i am -pretty- sure precursors drop as:

If you get a level 80 exotic drop – it can be a precursor (the account bound stuff dont count in fractals. you can still get normal exotics which can be precursors.) So basicly any mob you kill and any chest you open that can give loot.

Cotillion.7435:

No offense, but did you just discover that this game is SIGNIFICANTLY unfriendly towards mele in regards to dunegon encounters?

Because it’s been like that since day one.

I assume that kill shot is so awesome because the highest of on high classes normal attacks wouldn’t work well in explorables and a demand was made.

But it is also not rewarding for doing so – bosses dont get hit 15% more in melee or anything you know? Why is it a problem for ppl to go melee then in most cases melee is still harder due to the fact the area of usage is limited to your melee radius around the boss vs ranged radius vs boss (and this game is aoe circles heavy.)

Anyway i think i explained myself already i just wondered if it bothers other people and if they’d like it changed..even if there is a slim chance.. or maybe Anet can tell the idea behind this design.

MarzAttakz.9608:

..

I really think we wont lose anyone except the winning train people if we lose hard. It happent before – those that willing to leave already LEFT and those stayed behind gathered up this community. After all the hardwork i really dont see them leaving. Maybe we go back to medium in size again but hey? core people will still be happy with tier2.

Note: I also hate desolation they gave me the most trouble while i do jumping puzzles :p
