Guild Wars 2

Video of [ME] on SOS BL last night. Most fun I’ve had in a while, game did crakitten the end due to high res recording and TC’s numbers. Computer couldn’t handle it

Person story would be tolerable if you could skip all the conversations, but since your dragged into watching half of them then there is no reward worth doing.

Right now in game I have.. monthly, personal story, sky pirates, a heart and an event cluttering up my screen. Is there a way to remove it somehow?

Not only this but if there Is one that I want open it will just randomly close and a different tab opens for no reason at all.

Why were all the good features from GW1 removed?

I have a vid uploaded, this was a pug Zerg btw and I showed both winning and losing as to avoid any bull. But don’t say we ran every time because I see EP running a couple times.

http://youtu.be/_pqtlK6bJY8

Also yes I click, get over it

I was in Mag Bl for most the night, and I saw fully q’d TC zerg for a nice chunk of it.

Yea my mouse broke like a month ago, I’ve been using a ball mouse because im to lazy to get a new one.

Speaking of Blobs, this is the biggest Zerg I have ever seen. This is the first time post rendering patch that I’ve had rendering issues and skill lag. Was still a good fight @ mag garrison all night w/TC.

http://youtu.be/2-HSbGdW40A

I honestly hope that no one is kittening about this match up, especially on the Mag side because all I heard in chat all last week was how boring the match up was when we had 80% of the map. Always gonna be someone to fight this week so enjoy it while it lasts.

Anyways hope TC brings that near fully q’d Zerg back out tonight

It’s caused by all 5 player doing the jumping puzzle part. Have one or more people stay down and go threw the door after someone hits the switch.

Stop making these same threads over and over. It turns into the same 8-10 people arguing over the same 2-3 things which turns into a who’s is bigger contest that Is only stopped by another dumb thread like this where it gets started all over again.

Anet does not give a kitten right now. Lets say you buff rangers, then there OP in pvp and you will have the pvp people kittening. The only fix is to split the skills for pvp and pve but they will not put the time into that in the first couple years of release.

The first 2 years of this game all you are going to see is them pumping out as much gem shop content as they possibly can while they have a nice size player base to profit off of. This whole game is geared towards people spending money in their gem shop with real cash.

They have made it blatantly obvious by how hard it is to obtain in game gold. They nerf all the farming spots, they charge you to WP, they charge you to sell something on the TP. They even set up the achievements so that people will WP all around the world map forcing more of that in game gold out f the economy.

As of right now this entire game is a race for cash to Anet as it should be. They make a game thy want profit. So until the population moves on to other games and only the hardcores are left stop making these threads because its not their main concern at the moment. Their vigorously working on a new a new back piece for the gem shop.

Don’t drop aoe on the boss and ze spiders will stop. Also wall of reflect never did stop the trees big Damage attack. It’s been a while but I think the animation is one of the hands goes up and holds up for a second then Slams down and you can wait a second and dodge or just dodge back and then dodge straight back to your starting position. (Double dodge if you can’t figure out timing, you will fully regen before he uses it again)

Watch for the trees attack next time your there. I’m pretty sure it only has 3 an only the one has to be dodged.

Edit. Was wrong about what animation it had been a while but as the guy below me said. Dodge after it shakes.

What’s so hard about running in circles and jumping on a box every 15ish seconds?

If you love difficult achievements this isn’t for you. I got this first try with a random L.A. Pug group. Stack Mai and don’t dodge out when you see the slow moving cannon shot and GG.

Falq.8052:

So the old tactic doesn’t work, how do you deal with arm seals part now?

It seemed almost impossible to do for my group today. (Guard, Warr 2x, Ele 2x)

And important note: This was only fractal lvl 20, I think after this update its really impossible to do this part on lvl 40+.

Not to sound like a kitten but this is the way it use to be done when it first came out and up until level 39 you can just rush from side to side and don’t kill them all which caused them to follow you into tunnel buying you time. We even use to leave one person on one side who would grab aggro and pull them into the tunnel then let them leash.

With your team setup on level 20 its defiantly a L2p situation. You should have no problem at 20. This does make 40+ not worth the time even more than ever. I guess this is anets way of trying to get rid of the all zerker groups. Once again the casual players win.

Why even make this thread, What would they nerf? This is just as easy an any other dungeon they just added stuff in to slow it way down. Its incredibly boring, not difficult.

I have not read other threads but I seriously hope that people are not complaining that this is to hard already, I grabbed 4 random pugs and rolled threw this with ease about 20 minutes ago.

Erasculio.2914:

Bright.9160:

• Run full berserker
• Learn how to dodge
• ???
• Profit

This doesn’t always work, of course – there are many situations in which dodge is not enough.

CoF1 is not one of those situations, so people don’t see any point in defensive gear these days.

Guess i’ll do it for Weth this time, not sure if he reads the general discussion thread or not.

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTj6IHLTMuY3dF1fP8XoZvQ

Now of course this conversation is going to differ from different forms of the game.

Dungeons should be done in full zerker, if your good enough. There is no situation in any dungeon that cannot be handled with a full zerker team thus making any other gear completely useless (aside from high level fractals)

wvw and spvp/tpvp are completely different and completely situational.

Halo.8976:

Today was good day.

Lots of emotes.
We almost took CD’s garrison, but honorably decided to leave it alone.
Bunch of PYRO jumped from a bridge to their death…

WvW going back to normal, good match-up.

It was more like their massive numbers eventually pushed us out but it was a good 8-10 minute fight @ Garrison. Had a lot of fun tonight.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

So what happens when a member joins and decides that all the existing members, including you, suck?

Obviously you didn’t play with every member, like myself but I did notice the same thing, there are quite a few sub par players in the guild. The only invite I ever get is COF p1. Think I got one Coe p1 also. Probably just a mistype

Even the two COF runs I went in were horrible, had to pull the slave driver away from its spawn, then the same guy died both runs on the switch, both times saying well before we got there that he was doing it so its not like he wasn’t ready for it.

Its a shame because there are really good pug players out there like myself that just can’t find a semi-hardcore dungeon guild. They all turn out to be guilds full of COF p1 wannabe dungeon pro’s who think their good.

But maybe over time, for now I stopped replying to the invites. Might get better in the future.

Destroy your kit, don’t drop it on the ground in front of them or in L.A. somewhere. Take it from your inventory, drag it out of your inventory and then click yes to destroy.

Then enter the instance again, get another kit, use the ground target skill on the npc’s with the red stars above their heads. There is one by the initial scene and 4 or 5 on the stage. When you get the reward it is safe to leave, don’t leave before you get the reward or it will bug out.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/dragonbash/I-have-a-dream/first#post2251539

Basically go back into the scene of the crime and use the kit on the people with the red stars over their heads. The one by the conversation and the 4 or 5 on the stage. Destroy your kit first though.

Figured it out

:PROBLEM SOLVED:

This thread

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/dragonbash/I-have-a-dream/first#post2251539

I have a dream that there will be at least one update that isn’t broken.

Now that the dream is over, I can’t do the most recent content from the 19th and 20th due do that fact that the only option I get with the npc’s is “leave”

People I know have it, people around me while I’ve spent the last 2 hours trying to get it are getting it but me, I’m not getting it. Please fix.

EDIT: problem solved, I was leaving the “Scene of the crime” before I used the kit on the 1 person by the scene and the 4 or 5 standing on the stage.

After I went back in and used it on them I got a reward and all the npc’s outside now work.

Problem was I left after I got the kit and achievement, so maybe not give out the achievement until after the “scene of the crime” is done Anet.

Here is a video of what was happening before I used the kit on everyone inside the instance.

restoration.2806:

I play longbow ranger and I kill PvE. Full knight’s helps alot. But I do agree that melee seems to be favored.

So you stand at 1200-1500 and auto attack while your team does all the work plus use a useless stat like toughness over crit damage because your unable to dodge the 1/2 attacks that might come your way per dungeon at that range and say you agree? Come on now.

Don’t forget to spam that point blank shot every time a guard uses binding blades for maximum dps!

Twice in one day. Must really want them views

Thought this was another joke thread at first but after reading I think he might be serious. I do remember when I first started playing that I did range quite a bit until I learned to play. This is obviously a L2P situation.

If you don’t like the groups don’t try an join them. So sick of people complaining about the cof p1 farm. Just let it go and don’t join the groups if you don’t like the way they act. Its common sense.

That thing is so kittening annoying, please give an option to turn it off. Im sure there is other posts about this but something so unbelievably dumb should not take any more of my time than it already has to write this.

Sucks having to turn the volume off on this game just to play it.

Anyways case closed, proper wording on the update was not used. Can close this now

Yea I figured it out, Anet just posted that they are in the area’s leading up to L.A. which in fact they are not in the area’s leading up to it, they are in area’s leading up to the area’s leading up to L.A.

Actually most of the areas that contain Effigies are leading up to the area of Lion’s Arch.

The whole place in the map is Lion’s Arch after all, not just the center of the city.

Don’t talk dumb

Yea I figured it out, Anet just posted that they are in the area’s leading up to L.A. which in fact they are not in the area’s leading up to it, they are in area’s leading up to the area’s leading up to L.A.

I’ve found 3 effigy’s in total and I’m at 6% competition. I’ve been here waiting for it to stop burning for about 10 minutes. How is anyone ever going to find the will power to stand and do nothing for hours and hours to get this achievement?

Or is this yet ANOTHER fail update that will be patched sometime tomorrow? or the next day? I sure hope not because I can’t remember an update that went out that didn’t require another one anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours later.

People who want to make legendry’s do this. They do this because they have to. It is by no way profitable nor can you decide what comes out. If your doing this you want the clovers and get mad when dust shows up.

As stated above it does waste your skill points if your doing it for anything other than clovers. I think there is a total of around 20 different things that can come out and if your doing it just for t6 mats your going about it the wrong way.

Pip.2094:

People who salvaged and ate 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 items just in order to farm achi points will certainly do a loooot better than someone who didn’t.

You get, I think 200 max points for salvage. 36 for all you can eat and I think 36 for thirst slayer. Not thousands there.

From my personal experience, not in all cases but certainly in most, people with more achievement points are better players. Or at least average players.

When you join a pug group and you see everyone with 4-5k+ points you at least feel good about the group, but when you see 2 or 3 people with 700 to 1k points its most likely a good idea to leave that group. This isn’t a proven fact its just one of those common sense things.

Not to mention your still on a ranger, anyone playing a ranger in dungeons is still obviously in a L2p situation

this is unhelpful advice and just plain wrong.
go back to your zerker warrior and stay in CoF1 speedrun groups please.

The best advice I can give for rangers who are trying to skip mobs is turn off “autotarget assist” or whatever its called and then use greatsword 3 (swoop) to get past groups of mobs .
Keep your pet on passive.
Also use warhorn speed and rampage as one.

p.s. I hate skipping and I think it ruins the game.
oh no my time spent doesnt equal the loot rewards~
people who think like this don’t actually enjoy playing GW2

Firstly I don’t “Cof p1 farm” spending hours doing the same thing over and over for fake money doesn’t appeal to me.

Secondly I gave the guy some advice, some good advice. Thirdly this isn’t a thread that was asking you for what you enjoy doing, some people like skipping who are you to say otherwise?

Its been a while but I remember when I didn’t want to change out for GS I would turn around, use Sbow 3, Lightning reflexes, Sword 2 then flip back around and Sword 2 again.

At the risk of sounding like a tool, I think it is just a L2p issue especially when just a speed buff and 2 dodges should be enough to get you past the ooze Aoe. Not to mention your still on a ranger, anyone playing a ranger in dungeons is still obviously in a L2p situation

Alex Behemoth.4952:

I’m interested to know what item you have a monopoly on and how you handle it let me know.

I’m guessing since ghastly shields were just done, that greatsaw would be next.

I almost beat RET and TG for west camp

http://youtu.be/tqq0OWWZUu8

Seriously though, if I was RET I would drop some of the dead weight. I was rocking strife’s AH Anchor build doing my daily’s. Not really a 1v1 build.

Syn Sity.5826:

Lol saying that 5 warriors would be better than 1 mesmer in cof either proves that you haven’t ran cof enough or that you really just don’t understand the role. Time warp, portal, curtain pulls, doubling might at slave driver, gate, effigy, feedback dropping 40k at a time on effigy. Also, even though i like the idea of this thread, if they don’t get it by now they will simply never get it.

First off he obviously was not talking about Cof. Secondly I would love to see jus how fast a guard instead of a mes would be. GS 5 can do the first pull the same as a Mesmer plus wall of reflect stops the blazer attacks.

Hammer 4 does the push against the wall just the same as a Mesmer. Retreat is a much better speed buff than the mesmer’s.

The Mesmer portal is useless and doesn’t save any time if you have 3 people that know They can grab and go down the left side right of the start every time without dying. It’s actually faster than portal.

As for the final boss it would be TW vs stability. A zerker guard and zerker Mesmer would be close in damage. A guard can keep up stability allowing for no canceled HB’s but a Mesmer has TW. I don’t think it would be much different in time. Seconds.

Wethospu.6437:

If all bosses follow same formula as Archdiviner, then at level 30 he should have 52.5% more health than at level 1. Though I don’t know if armor changes.

Have you considered getting full berserker-gear?

That would require me to pug more Fotm which I’m not very fond of. I had to pug from 28 to 30 just to try this solo and I was actually in a group doing 28 daily that wiped 3 times on snowblind because someone kept running threw the middle of the map.

You go to the Ascalon fractal and people don’t Los, you go to the water and people refuse to move to the cages, get to Cliffside and the arms bug out, get to Shawman and half the group moans in chat. Try and join one of those groups saying “experienced only” and get some kid in full MF gear. Its just not worth the time.

Kaderin.7584:

Note that it’s entirely possible they make a comeback next halloween, at most I’d expect there to be new skins but also the ones from the previous season showing up together. Can’t say what happens for living story but at the very least for repeatable holiday events this much should be a given.

I don’t know if I’ve ever played a game where they reused the skins from the year before. Too many people would complain.

If your betting that they will come back I wouldn’t go all in. 3 years from now this shield and the greatsaw will be extremely hard to come by and the people who hold on to them that long will be set.

Wethospu.6437:

How painful it is? To fight through all that health!

If I explained it, I still don’t think you would understand. Just imagine every time you do a ww/hb combo you have to stop for 30 seconds and do nothing. That’s what guard dps is like.

I don’t even own full zerk gear on my guard so the final boss what such hell, its the same thing over and over, level 1 is no different than level 30 just 20x more hp.

You can’t Crit the elemental source so I ended up buying full clerics just for this.

Even after the insane amount of HP, it felt like nothing compared to HOTW path 1 solo which took me twice as long as this did.

I missed out on this. I needed to sell one more legendary to have enough money to buy them all, I was 3-4 short. My last legendary sold when I was at work yesterday, went to buy the 20-25 that were there the last time I looked and they were all gone

I was fighting with someone putting buy orders in for around 180 to 200g for a while, should of known better. Good for him though.

Softspoken.2410:

x per fection x.2096:

The comment I made was not made towards the main temp contend added, I’m talking about dungeons alone, whenever they change something in dungeons/fractals its something that really doesn’t matter instead of the major bugs that are in the dungeons.

I do Hotw p1 all the time and to be honest I don’t even bother to turn backwards I just run forwards down the left side like it’s intended. So please pay attention before you try and insult someone.

Oh, so instead of “stuff I/you play” I should have put in “bugs that bother me/you”?

I just don’t take kindly to someone saying an update was a waste of time, or useless. Maybe something else should have been higher priority, since this particular issue didn’t really hurt a group’s ability to finish the dungeon, but a fix is still progress. Insulting a fix because it’s not a fix for the issue you wanted is just rude.

But that “fix” isn’t progress at all, they are completely ignoring the main issues with dungeon’s/fractals. Please stop commenting in the dungeon section because its pretty clear that dungeons are not what you do with your time on gw2.

I’m saying its a waste of time to fix something like that and not look into the bugs in dungeons because I personally feel like it is. If you don’t like that I think that way then suck it up princess.

I told them months ago that you can use a sigil of generosity in SE path 3 on one of the champion bosses and transfer one of its attacks as if it were a condition and do 20k condition ticks on the boss and it still works.

They have forgot/abandoned the dungeons almost completely and the things they do change are always useless changes like random walls and dumb terrain changes. This is my personal opinion, your entitled to your own but just because mine is different doesn’t make it wrong.

Softspoken.2410:

x per fection x.2096:

Why don’t they fix the stuff that I play, instead of the stuff that you play?

Edit- Regarding the OP: it’s possible that some fundamental code regarding knock-backs has been changed game-wide, and the example you gave is just the place we’re seeing it most clearly. So it was a change that altered HotW, but not a HotW change. Maybe.

The comment I made was not made towards the main temp contend added, I’m talking about dungeons alone, whenever they change something in dungeons/fractals its something that really doesn’t matter instead of the major bugs that are in the dungeons.

I do Hotw p1 all the time and to be honest I don’t even bother to turn backwards I just run forwards down the left side like it’s intended. So please pay attention before you try and insult someone.

The real question is.. why are they wasting their time on such useless updates and changes all the time and never fix the “bugs” ? Did Cliffside the other day, one of the arm seals didn’t break and we had to wipe then come back and do it the hard way. Or how about all the random mobs that pop up in dungeons 5 minutes later if you run past them like the ones in se path 3 or in arah 2?

sirthosiris.1078:

I’d love to tell you I’m competent, but I’m too afraid of randomly kitten in whatever test you have and having you be a jerk about it, despite evidence of random competency. Like soloing Alpha, or being the only one to not go down on my first Lupi.

What are you really looking for? You try to specify a difference between elitism and competency, but the rest of the thread makes me think you’re still looking for full berserker melee did the fight 10 times and is a bad kitten and acts like he’s God, versus someone who just tries to listen and NOT die, and may still kitten here and there, but those events pale in comparison to the times he does well.

Anyone can sit in the back and not die. That does not make you a good player. I can toss full clerics on my guard and kite around all day while that guy in zerker gear does 90 percent of the damage but got downed and it doesn’t make me better than him because I’m still alive.

In my opinion a competent can do any dungeon it this game in full zerker gear without much trouble if they are competent enough to understand the basic mechanics of all the fights. If you feel like you have won because you can stay alive in your defensive set where others can’t then you have already lost.

Most people who use full zerker gear for everything are not elitists they are just good enough to understand how easy every dungeon is and that running anything else is a waste of time.

Google is your friend, or you can use sites that just tell you what servers are open and you can just guest. With the new API there should be zero posts like this.

Was changed a while ago.

There is around 1 minute of video towards the end that didn’t render right, I’ll have to fix it some other time. Windows movie maker doesn’t do well with HD video’s.

Had planned on doing 40 also but I didn’t know that 2 started spawning on every fire, or maybe just on the one I was at? if anyone knows how that works would you let me know, if its just that one spawn I would like to try 40. I know on 20 there was only 1 Ele per fire.
