The one objective part of armor criticism is how >50% of the female armor is insanely skimpy. This looks stupid for light or medium armor but downright idiotic for heavy, as there’s no way this’d be any help in combat.
Now, even then it’d be acceptable – if the male armor looked similar. For many armor types, male and female armors don’t look like they’re part of the same set. Plus as I said, it looks stupid.
That’s your opinion of course. There are many who disagree. Plus, it’s absolutely not true that 50% of medium armor is skimpy. Not even close. Light armor, sure they have lots. But not medium.
They need to just increase the options for the daily. That way those who like fractals can still have their double fractal dailies, but there will be plenty of choices for those who don’t like fractals. Right now I can avoid fractal dailies because I also jump in WvW on occasion, but for those that are pve only I imagine it’s annoying.
Oh yes and….bring back costume brawl dailies please!
Ouch. Well make sure to get an authenticator on the account. It helps a lot. And yeah, since you don’t have a level 80 it probably makes the most sense to just delete and start over again. Good luck!
Well, do you like WvW? Servers only really matter for that. If you do like WvW, then you might want to check out t1 or t2 or t3 servers. Probably t2 or t3, since the t1s are full and you probably can’t get in anyway.
And yes, the easiest way to transfer is to delete your character and reroll on to a new server. Unless you want to pay money for gems to transfer.
edit: And yeah, it’s weird that you were suddenly moved. Like Inculpatus said, you might want to contact CS. And change your password and add the authenticator if you haven’t already.
I’m hoping it does not return to that point. Because that means teq is faceroll like shatterer and the like. They did make the teq rising patch to make him harder than the regular world bosses. Sure, he’s not supposed to be like TT but he shouldn’t be like he was pre-patch. That was way too easy.
Hmmm, well what do you like to do? Do you prefer pve, spvp or wvw? Or all three? I do recommend giving all 3 a shot if you haven’t already. Do you like dungeons/fractals? You can work on those.
For more casual things you can work on map completion, jumping puzzles, world boss farming, or go to the silverwastes. Crafting, though not very exciting can be a goal so that you can make Ascended gear. Or you can work on getting a legendary.
If you haven’t joined a guild, I do recommend it. Your guild might have activities set up, like WvW night, dungeon night or guild missions. Look for an active, but friendly one.
Seriously people, they have had these type of things from the beginning. This is NOT a game of super immersion. It’s just not and it never will be. If you want to quit the game over something like that, go ahead but I wonder why you decided to play this game to begin with.
The cat ears she posted are not incredibly different from the ones from GW1. Cat ears are cat ears and there is already precedent for them since they were in GW1. Saying they don’t fit or are a “violation of territory” makes no sense. You don’t like them, don’t buy them.
I say bring on the cat ears. My charr can’t really use them, but hell there are already many silly hats in this game so “immersion” is not really a good excuse to keep it out.
Ok… so your positiong is like: 1. Casuals ditch TT and TEQ couse poor Hardcore/Elites dont have enough thing to brag about (again alienating and exclusive), you really have to check about whats the definition of unfair and somehow prove the casuals point. but lest say is ok, them make instances for it but DEVs shouldnt pretent that a open world event is just for a single audience. 2. it is Anet fault for promoting harassing or insults. why? you may ask couse super inflated egomaniac like elites have that kind of behavior, i dont really know if they’r just really competitive or are compensating for something outside the game. 3-. on this sir your totally right actually we “sily noobs” (read casuals) should just report every single elite ·$/$&·, that insult us on map chat. i hope GW2 dont become another WoW
The funny thing here is, the one being very toxic on a consistent basis is you. I don’t how many posts I’ve seen with you constantly throwing down insults towards “elite” players or anyone who dares to like challenging content.
Nowhere has anyone who likes challenge said the entire game should be turned into something hardcore. Nowhere. Most people recognize that Anet has made a game for various types of players and therefore there will be content for all of them. Seriously, several harder open world fights are not the end of the world. There is still plenty of content for people who just want to farm. I won’t even say for “casuals” because I am a casual player in favor of Anet adding harder content. Hard content is not just for the “elite.” However, this doesn’t mean everything needs to be super hard. Of course not. Why can’t we just have both things.
That’s the complete opposite of what I’ve seen. No ranged map seems to succeed (again that I’ve seen). Only the maps that melee on the double damage spot with reflects and cleanse from turrets have been the ones I’ve seen succeed. Though note, it has to be on the double damage spot and not just melee on the foot. Those fail too.
Not this again….cat ears does not fit GW2.Cat ears fits immersion dead games such as Perfect World games.No pls
Immersion, in this game? Cat ears fit just as much as bunny ears, bear hats and quaggan hats and back packs. This game has always had silly or fun items that “break” immersion.
I think he just wants more sexy heavy armors. Probably nicer ones. Though I like some of the ones they have in game currently, they could use a few more. But really heavy has it much better off. Try being medium. Medium has the least amount of skimpy armors in the game and far too many trench coats. There’s a reason you always see people in the same medium outfits over and over again. It’s because there aren’t enough good choices for sexy medium armor. Not that this really affects me as my main is a charr ranger and my other leather wearing character is a charr engie, but I feel for them.
They already said that costumes are for the gem shop and armor will be in-game only. So no more armor in the gem shop. I doubt they will be making costumes separate pieces. It would be nice, but it’s not going to happen.
Ascended armor and weapons are account bound so no one can craft them but you. If you go to the gw2 wiki you can take a look at what mats you need. You will need to level up your crafting of course.
Good to hear the bug will be repaired. That leaves the fact why this threat was opened: what about the % of succesfully do the event? I suggested 50%, but with the bug repaired and nothing else done, its obious that this will be a lot lower. Today I noticed no succesful events exept for the 1 where players joined an hour before starting. And that was WITH the exploid. Sooo… The complaining will only continue if nothing else is done.
There is no exploit at this point. So any kill is a normal kill. Pug maps are doing this already and with the crit issue fixed it will be fine. In fact, it might be too easy.
No. Yeah, there are bugs but overall I like the specialization patch. No regrets whatsoever.
And some people are exaggerating as usual. Not one of my teq maps was anyone insulting anyone and I was even on pug maps that beat teq. Others are reporting success on their pug maps too. It was really a matter of just learning. But whatever, with the crit thing fixed hopefully the complaining will stop. Though I seriously hope it’s not too easy now.
I’m noticing the same problem in that video and mentioned in this thread even. People are relying to much on hearts to level. That’s not really how you play this game. If you stick to hearts, yeah you are going to be bored out of your mind and probably drop the game. They should have never added the hearts to begin with, but people complained that they didn’t know what to do and so they put the hearts in to “guide” people I guess. You should focus more on just exploring the map and doing events. Plus hopping to other race zones.
Plus WvW and spvp are great ways to level as well. You can enter WvW through portals in LA even if you can’t access the WvW panels. I do think this “restriction” is stupid and they need to have it like it used to be because it wrongly gives the impression to people that you need to be level 31.
Oh as far as temperatures go, my graphics card seems to hover around 35-40 Celsius. As far as CPU goes that seems to always be around 65-69 Celsius. I will keep an eye on the temperatures when the actual fps drops happen and report back. Are those generally safe temps though? I’m not too familiar with this type of thing.
Just saying what Anet said regarding TT and they are introducing challenging content, whatever that will be. So no, some people will not be able to just waltz in and do all of the content in the game just because they payed for it. Not without some effort at least. That’s the way you made it sound, that just because you payed for the game you should be able to just roll through all the content and that’s not what Anet intends.
Now if you want to argue that all open world content should be easy, then I suppose you can make that argument. I totally disagree with that, but I suppose we can agree to disagree on this point.
So, are you guys looking into the pet stat issue? Pets pretty much have the same stats as before the patch. They supposed to gain 150 and get another 150 if specced into BM, they are not getting these.
Same here. I’ve never had FPS issues, not even when doing big bosses like teq and TT. Suddenly I’m having these huge fps drops that occur at random ever since the last big patch.
Only merf does and he’s already spoken on the issue in favor of the way teq is now.
Of course he would be in favour. This change practically cements monopoly of guilds like TTS on Teq fight. Yes, the majority of players that enjoyed Teq can’t do it anymore, but hey, they are not TTS.
Do these people really think the rest of us should pay for content only they can use?
Since anet is out to make profit there should be no argument of who has access.
Well, teq aside, I’m sorry but just because you buy the game doesn’t mean you are going to be able to faceroll through 100% of the content. Anet caters to different types of players. TT for example is specifically for the hardcore. They are also introducing challenging content in HoT. And you know what, I’m not going to say this is anti-casual because it isn’t. Just because content is difficult does not mean it’s not for casual players. Some casual players (like myself) actually like this harder content.
I’ve been having huge fps drops too and this has never happened to me before. It’s only since the last patch dropped. I’ll try those things to see if it’s a pc problem.
I’m been having a sort of different issue. Ever since the patch I randomly drop fps to something like 15. If I’m at a large even it drops to 3 and is unplayable. Even if I lower the graphics settings it’s the same and it doesn’t resolve unless I completely shut down GW2. It’s very odd and has never happened to me before.
No one is currently using the SA from guardian unless you are referring to the previous victories when it was enabled. In case you didn’t see the TTS/GSCH Teq post right above, EG is saying that they beat it with time to spare.
The one we did this afternoon failed… good for you that yours succeeded… We were not even close to finishing. Ask other people in TTS who were there.
Just did another organized Teq and it failed again… couldn’t even see health on the bar for Teq when the timer expired so we were close but… it should not be this hard to kill these bosses… and if they are going to be this hard we need better rewards.
So you can have your opinion but mine is firmly in the “unbuff” category… (reversing the buff not nerfing).
And you cannot equate what a guild of several thousand co-ordinated and experienced world boss event farmers can do, to what a bunch of clueless pubbies SHOULD be able to do.
Go back to that GSCH/TTS thead and look at merforga’s post. He is the leader of TTS. He totally disagrees with that person. I myself have been to various TTS raids post guard fix and ALL of them succeeded. One random fluke that guy witnessed means nothing, he does not speak for TTS. Only merf does and he’s already spoken on the issue in favor of the way teq is now.
It is still possible for a pug map, but it takes a lot of effort and organization. Perhaps if Anet makes it possible to crit teq anywhere things will be better for pug maps.
edit: Just came from a pug map that killed teq with about 3 minutes left. There were some bumpy moments like defense not going back to their positions during the first burn phase, but other than that it went well. The pugs knew to stand in the double crit spot and did their best and it worked. All without teamspeak. It might be tougher than before for pugs but I do think with time they can learn this and kill it regularly.
TTS beat both teq and wurm at reset today. No issues with either. And from the sound of it your GSCH guild has figured things out as well. You really shouldn’t be dragging either guild into this.
Teq does not need to be reverted back to his original state. They just need to fix the crit issue. Once that is fixed his extra health should not be a problem.
It’s not a nerf. CB was supposed to have a 30 sec cd all along. If you watched the live stream introducing the trait you would see this. Now if we want to argue that that was a bad idea and that the cd needs to be lowered then go ahead. But don’t call this a nerf.
One thing they DO need to fix is pet stats. Their stats are currently lower than they were before the patch and they were supposed to be better…
No, absolutely no. TTS did TT last night post guardian fix just fine. And we barely did any set up at all. TT does not need a nerf in any shape or form.
The one we did this afternoon failed… good for you that yours succeeded… We were not even close to finishing. Ask other people in TTS who were there.

Reversing the buff means going back to the bosses melting like butter due to high condi damage. That is not the answer. They should fix the crit problem, so that teq can be crit anywhere and that should significantly help people kill him. TT should not be touched.
Oh my god, the bug has been disabled already. No one is using it as of last night, so all the kills since then were without the aid of the guardian symbol bug. It might be tough, but it’s still doable.
Plus, I’m sure Anet is looking into this already and will come up with a solution. But I highly doubt it will come anytime before the next patch.
It’s ONE kitten boss. Anet has better things to do with their time at the moment (not to mention it’s a holiday weekend), especially when boss farmers have plenty of bosses to kill.
Failed Teq with a semi-organized map yesterday and Triple Trouble today with TTS, very well organized…. These events are just not scaled properly now with the health buff… Something needed to be done but doubling the health was just too much for these events the way they are setup… you need to increase the burn phases or reduce the health.
No, absolutely no. TTS did TT last night post guardian fix just fine. And we barely did any set up at all. TT does not need a nerf in any shape or form.
Why is the thread called TTS though? These are not TTS raids even if led by a former member. TTS has its own official raids and they have been successful.
Though I do agree, teq needs some tweaking. The crit spot mainly.
I am really hoping for elite maps. I really hope Anet comes through on that challenging content. People will probably complain, but hopefully Anet sticks to their guns and keeps it difficult.
And by the way, just because the game is casual does not mean it should be faceroll. I consider myself a casual player. I might use meta specs, but speedclear dungeons is not my thing. I have a job and have only so much time for the game, but I still want to see more difficult open world content for me and my guild to have fun with. There is plenty of very easy content for those who want that. There is very little large scale content for a guild to do together. Anet needs to address this. People need to remember there are plenty of casual players that want harder content and don’t want to faceroll through everything. Catering to faceroll only will ruin this game.
Most of the world bosses are still 100% killable. The only ones that aren’t are TT (which is not supposed to be faceroll anyway) and teq. Teq even is still killable, but does take more effort and organization than before. They just need to fix the crit issue. His health is probably a non-issue once that is fixed. I don’t think they should just nerf his health yet.
And no, that guardian bug was not “helping.” It was trivializing content and ruining WvW.
The current skill state (or balance) is not going to fall under a situation where we would consider it an “abuse of a bug” or “exploitation of a bug”.
This is really the same situation as when the Mesmer fall trait was in a state where the damage was significantly too high.
No we aren’t going to action players for that.
So people using the bugged guardian trait on say, teq will not be banned? I don’t think they should personally because then you are basically telling people not to play guardians, but I want it to be clear.
I have to say as a member of one of the large organized guilds, I don’t recognize any of these kills as legit. I would never recognize a record under these circumstances. That’s just my personal opinion. While I am not a leader in my guild I know that they do not encourage exploits. Period. However, this exploit is impossible to avoid. You can’t exactly stop people from playing their Guardians. And too many people find this bug amusing to use (I’m always seeing people talking about how high they hit him for and comparing numbers lol).
I suppose the pug maps might as well use this bug in the meantime since Anet isn’t fixing neither the symbol bug nor the teq crit problem. They really need to get on top of both these issues.
Seriously do you know the amount of people using this trait and you want them banned? That’s insane. I’m still shocked that Anet had said nothing on this issue though and it’s still not fixed. Please get on this Anet. It grossly trivializes content for organized groups. TT is meant to be a hardcore large scale fight and it’s faceroll now. It’s a slap in the face to those who did the fight legitimately.
