Guild Wars 2

I would personaly say that the consentration needed in low level fractals will never be higher than what is needed to kill lupicus(and probably not even that high). So if you are able to kill him there shouldn’t be a problem. And even if you can’t I would still say you should go ahead and try rather than listen to what other people say about the difficulty. Worst thing that can happen afaik would be that you fail and have to exit and try again.

I agree. I feels a bit weird how they in the early days said that they didn’t want people to redo the same content over and over for a chance to get the weapons they want and thus they implemented the tokens system. And especialy since they made the wallet they would have no problem with people complaining about bank space.

The only reason I can think of for them doing things like this would be to encourage people to stop skiping mobs. But I would not see this as the right direction to go to get around that problem.

You can see al the traped doors having a small dart shooting device on the side of them. you need to push the big cube to a blocked corridor and jump over the dartshots.

I use the one east of hoelbrak where you kill the wurm in the norn personal story. It’s close and mobs-free but there might be some that are even closer.

Bumping and also informing you that the homepage of our website have now been updated. I will also be unable to answer any join requests until 18th of August, turn to one of the officers instead.

ColinJohanson.2394:

The gold bonus does not apply to fractals no, we will however continue to update both content and rewards in Fractals as the year progresses. For example: champion loot bags do indeed apply to Fractals of the Mists.

I really like the champion reward, it will make it worthwhile to do fractals alot more. But will the reward from champs be higher in the higher levels?(I guess not). And will the champ reward also aply for legendary bosses such as the jellyfush and most other final bosses.

Brothers of Aesir[BoA] is a guild on Desolation. We focus mainly on PvE where we do dungeons , mid-high level fractals, living story and guild missions together and we also pop into WvW every now and then.

We are currently rebuilding after a long period with lack of leadership that has now been restored. Due to this we may look small but we have researched almost all guild upgrades and have missions unlocked up to challenges. We aim to become around 50 members and try to play together as much as possible so we get to know everybody in the guild.

We offer a TS3 channel and a website with forums, calendar and news. And Brothers of Aesir is also the GW2 branch of the multi-gaming communty“The something something gaming community” That also have players in Planetside 2, and Minecraft.

What we expect from our members:
- Active, both in game and on the forums.
- Mature.
- Friendly.
- Treat other players, both inside and outside of the guild with respect.
- No hacking, scamming, glitching or other things that may be against the game rules.
- We have no representation rule but this is to be considered your main-guild and you may have other guilds, such as your own guild bank, guild mission guilds or PvP teams.
- Being active on TS is not a requirement but is certainly encouraged, especially during guild missions and other guild events.

Do I think they need to be weary of the queensdale zerg? Oh definately. I wonder how they will handle those champions. I wonder if they will say “this change only applies to level 80 champs”

I belive the rewards will only be once per day(since it’s implemented to stop farming) so that would solve that problem.

I hope they put up a post about this to explain it a bit further before the patch. I belive it was implemented to negate the dungeon farms so that you don’t get the loot from the dungeon champions twice. Open world champions is a bit tricky though, there is indeed quite a few easy ones in the open world. I hope they scale it with the difficulty of the champions just as the dungeons.

#skritt king

That looks like an easy match for….

….Skritt king.

“The locusts have always been here. Sleeping, deep beneath the earth, beneth the sea. Witing for the time to rise”. That time comes when the necromancer blows his horn.

On a side note. I wonder where the birds for the ranger’s Hunter’s Call comes from as well. At least in places outside the open world such as at jade maw.

Not sure if hired by skritt king. Not enough shinies.

Fair enough. Fixed.

That’s better.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

Here are the digital versions of the campaign posters, so you can print them out or play with them to show your support for the candidate of your choice:

Excuse me. But where is the poster for skritt king?(though he might not need one cause he’s already the obvious choice.)

Have you tried doing t2 again. Just a thought but it might help.

Sulist.2408:

In the spirit of the skritt, I’m going to go ahead and just take this idea.

Not sure if hired by skritt king. Not enough shinies.

Ah, found it http://dulfy.net/2013/07/23/gw2-aetherized-weapon-skins-gallery/

Not to bad imo. I never got a good look of the rapier though.

could someone upload a pic or link? I’m unable to get ingame atm

Here, take this:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge/Equipment

Thanks for the great feedback. I will most likely try go all out on clerics for the increased healing and I like the runes as well. The note on “protect me” was nice as well. I think I’m quite clear on what to go for now

So I’ve been trying to get a nice GS build for WvW zerging on my ranger and this is what I’ve come up with so far:
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJARTnEVkYZXQaBxaZAp9ITskz7VYWcP8PPJET5XVZtXA-jwxAoLAyRgyeFRjtyWENW9CmSlIq2lUEtahA6vFA-e

This will give me 100% uptime of swiftness and 400health/second with guard and nature’s voice, 35/50k damage “shield” with protect me and bear and drake, stability with RaO and a waterfield with healing spring. What I’m yet not sure about are the runes and if I should keep the LB or swap out for axe+WH for more aoe damage and buffs.

What would my fellow ranger friends say about it?

So whenever I swap to water attunement on my ele and try to use shatterstone(nr 2 scepter) it doesn’t work. The character does the cast animation but no aoe apears and no damage or vulnerablilty either. This only seem to happen when I’m attacking and have auto-cast on. Sadly that is what it’s like every time I need it.

Anyone have a clue of what might be going on?

Hi I’m Gnarl. Here, take some oxygen.

Just finished my Berserker set(yay more zerker rangers). Sadly the dyes on the gloves doesn’t really match the coat perfectly but it’s good enough ingame.

Helm: Cultural T2
Shoulders: Whisper’s
Coat: Cultural T3
Gloves: Duelist
Legs: TA
Boots: Krytan(gem store)

Next up is a knight set or other tankyish set for WvW.

Usually if you contact the support team, at least what I have heard off. They wil rest your account so it will be the same as it was before it was hacked. They will obviously ask you if that is what you want first but I don’t think they can do much else.

My guess is that peple would whine to much over the disability to fight properly. And due to this game having a very mobile combat system it will be really anoying.

On a side note, a dungeon with trees everywhere and plant traps and kitten would be totally epic

If this make it sound like you want me to join your guild, either PM me on the forums or in-game to Gnarl Blackfur.

Well thank the bug-god for that. That animation ruin almost every shield skin that exist.

I won’t play Human because it’s a boring human.
I won’t play Norn because it’s a tall human.
I won’t play Sylvari because it’s a plant human.
I won’t play Asura cause it’s a short human disgusting little gremlin.
I play Charr because it is Charr.

I’m still playing with the thought of an army siegeing DR with half of their army while the other half is making a shock attack on LA and rush through the asura gate there to backstab the defenders. Man what a slaughter it will be.

As far as I know, Asura don’t let military forces use their portals. And I imagine they’d just have to press a single button to shut down the connection from either side.

That is true. But if we simply make them unable to press the button, what then? Warfare is more than just rush straight into battle.

…Drive it right back into it’s den!…

Strife025: Dungeon guides.

Being undr leveld is often a problem in the begining. The good thing with GW2 is that if you have finished everything for your level in your current starting zoneyou can simply go to the starting zone of another race and finish what you can there while getting an equal amount of exp. To get to another starting zone you go into the main city of your race, and go through the asura portal(which is a purple portal on the map) to Lion’s Arch(LA). Once there you will be in an area with 5 portals which each take you to the main city of a specific race and just outside the city you should find the starting area for that race.

nope, but there are more mobs so thus more loot.

During that part what I guess you did wong is that you engaged the mobs. It’s alot more effective to just run around in circles so their attacks miss since you have no need to kill them.

1) Most of them I think. Some are a bit harder but if you are used to MMOs it shouldn’t be to hard.

2) You have traits which will be introduced by lvl 11 and you get 1 point to spend each lvl(so 70 in total at lvl 80). There you have 5 trait lines where you can put 30 points at max in each line. You get two stats specific for each line for every point you spend on it and for every 5 point you get some nice buffs and ablities which are the base of your build.

3)Yes you can keybind hower you like afaik. 10 hotkeys work in the way that you only have 10 skills to keybind + the 4 f1-4 skills that are the profession specific skills.

4) There are quite a few currncies atm.
-1: Gold. Basic currency which you get from killing monsters and finishing events.
-2: Karma. You get this by finishing events or using consumables that give karma and use it to buy accountbound equipment and consumables from vendors.
-3: Dungeon token. You get these by finishing dungeons and use them to buy armor and weapons.
-4: Gems. The cash shop currency. This is the currency which you can buy for $ but you can also convrt gold to get it and you can convert gems to ge gold. Used to buy the cash shop items like character slots and skins.
-5: Badges of Honor. Aquired in WvW buy killing enemy players. Used to buy armor, weapons and WvW specific siege weapons.
-6: Laurels. These are gained by finishing the daily achivement(which you can find under the heros panel). Laurels are used to buy max tier ascended accesories mainly but you can also get some boosters, minipets, rare gear etc. for them.
-7: Glory. PvP currency. Used to buy skins in PvP(don’t know much more since I don’t PvP).
-8: Something that I probably missed.

I hope that answers your questions.

So I kind of get what this API is suposed to do. Now the only problem is that I don’t know how I am suposed to get it to work. Once I press the link I get to a page with loads of text which I can somewhat relate to but from there on I have no idea of what to do with it. Is there anyone who is able to explain to me what I am suposed to do?

I would like to thank Ins for some great commanding in EB today. I had really fun all day and finished it off by running a few dolys to supply SM. Sadly I left a bit too early to see if it payed off. So did we ever get that WP up at SM or not?

In which way have the drops been nerfed if I may ask?

Dungeons
1. At level 30 you can do your first story dungeon. Story dungeons are mostly one time dungeons which will unlck the explorable modes for you. At levl 35 you will be able to enter the same dungeo in explorable mode which is the “Main dungeon” of that specific dungeon.
2. No
3. See above.
4. Ascalonian Catacombs(AC) 30/35
Caudecus’ Manor(CM)40/45
Twilight Arbor(TA)50/55
Sorrow’s Embrace(SE)60/65
Citadel of flame(CoF)70/75
Honor of the Waves(HotW)76/80
Crucible of Eternity(CoE)78/80
The Ruined City of Arah(Arah)80/80
5. No

Levling
1. Yes, they are the small rocks, logs and plants on the minimap. If you hover over them you can see which specific node it is.
2. No. You can use the guild sub-forum on here.
3. Not as far as I know
4. You can enter the other races’ starting zones. You will still get experience and loot matching your current level
5. No.

Oyjord.2508:

OP her. Such a helpful thread, thanks all! Am I correct in assuming that ALL the story modes should be pretty easy and thus handled by our small noob guild before even trying any exploration modes?

It was a while since I did the story mode dungeons now but as far as I can remember they should be a bit easier. They might take longer though, especialy if you watch the cut-scenes(which you should do because it’s story). Also the fights in story mode doesn’t contain as much “DPS” fights as explorer but there is actually certain tasks that has to be fullfilled to finish the bosses and alike.

You might have that skill stuck on auto-attack. To prevent it you have to equip the shield and press ctrl+mouse right click either on the bugged" skill or another skill to change which attack is the auto-attack one.

The question is: Will there be any normal armor skins like the krytan and primeval ones.

Here take this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_1QqW0iGg8

Dim.5720:

Guys, how do you get such clean looking screenshots?

If you bring up the options and go to controls. Somewhere under User Interface or something alike there should be an option that is called Show/Hide UI. I belive the default setting is ctrl+shift+H but I’m not 100% sure about that part.

Helmet: T1
Shoulder: CoE
Chest: Arah
Gauntlets: Krytan(Gem store)
Legs: Krytan(Gem store)
Boots: Any boots, trying to decide upon some good ones that looks nice and doesn’t chafe my feet.

You should be fine with only exotic jewelry untill you reach level 15+ when the agony actually start to matter then you will need the ascended gear but only becauseof the agony resistance you can put in it. Stat wise there should be no big diference.

EDIT: It’s hard until you learn how to make it, so only about the first few levels untl you’ve done all the fractals that exist at least once. If you manage to bring someone who has done it before it and will help you on your way it will make it alot easier.

nekitten234:

One boss, but AFAIK they are in no way easier than “standard” bounties. Depending which one you get it can be easy(ish) and frakking hard, but still doable.

Great! Thanks for your input. And btw, what is AFAIK?
