Guild Wars 2

You are awesome Deadly Cuddles. Thanks for your effort! See you in DS!

Great idea!.. there you go…

But that’s for guardian? i’m looking for something like that on this thread.. i can’t find it anywhere XD..

Here’s mine for now… Pretty happy with it as of the moment.

Not sure about final.. but i am happy with my stats right now.

I am really interested on this one.

Someone tell me how to join such an amazing event pls ,,.

Currently i have 4 alts + my main

2 of them are in lvl 80 already – Ranger and Guardian. I never bother getting them full exotic accessories since i started playing 5 months ago until recently. I survived the game with just having an exotic set of armors with rare trinkets.

I also have lvl 59 Charr Warrior; lvl 11 Ele Sylv and lvl 5 Human mesmer.

Now that the ascended gear is here, i have 55 laurels. But really, i could not feel the need of buying an ascended gear yet. For me, it may increase my chance of survivability and all with those added stats but in the ended “Play Skill” will play a vital role for succeeding in game.

You can actually geared your character with out getting an ascended gear. For me, i do the things i love doing in the game, the same time i am earning the stuff i need to get an ascended gear in the future which actually works perfect for me.

Deleting my alts will not be an option for me though. As long as i am enjoying and loving the game then im cool with it.

Ascended items for me are all optional. PVE is already doable with out it. Same with WVW and PVP.

If i wanted it, i will a lot 20 days doing lvl 10 fractals to get 2 ascended ring with Prestine tokens. And few months doing dailys and monthlys to get ascended items with laurel … Which is not on my top priority as of the moment lol…. I planned on doing it slowly

Note: I will complete the stats once i got home from work today.

Armor Set : All Berserker with Ruby Orb
Accesssories : Beryl (Prec , Vit, Crit Damage)
Weapon : LB and AXE Warhorn / Shortbow (Prec, Power, Crit Damage) with Ruby Orb

Stats:

Power 3,3k (LB)
Armor 2k
Health 19k
Prec 45%
Crit damage 99%

Build: 20/30/0/0/20.

Pets : Salamander Drake / MOA (for might) or Long Range Pet for Dungeon which i’m still deciding.

Util: Lightning reflexes, Sick’em, QZ
Elite : Rampage as One

I created this last night and will try this out for the next few days on dungeon and see how it turns out.

Any one else running the same stat and build?

What do you think of this kind of build so far?

I make 10g minimum per day on saturday and sunday… as that is the only time i have to play that much..

Thats from running dungeons and orr events..

On weekdays i only play 1-2 hours a day after work and could only earn 1-3 gold depends on my loot luck..

I hope that helps..

it’s odd… last week specifically monday , tuesday and wed.. i tried farming at orr.. monday i got 4 yellows., tuesday i got 4 yellow and an exotic and wed i got 2 yellows and black dye ( didn’t bother to take a screen shot) but comes thursday up until today… those yellows were gone.,, no more exotic too… and bunch of whites , some blue and greens and mold bags… i wonder what happen…

and ohh a wooden chest full of porous bones

was very happy .. and started think life in orr is getting better …

Here’s my contribution …

First – My first wvw jumping puzzle experience
2nd – My first fractal experience..
3rd – My first Maw Experience ( i was like, whats that!! there’s tentacle!…)
4th – First time killing zhaitan ( ARAH story mode)
5th – My guardians first swimming lesson..
6th – My first charr warrior (T1 Cultural)
7th – My first norn guardian (T2 Cultural)
8th – My main asura range (story armors)
9th – My first human mesmer..

Note: not a fan of Gold and Red on armors dye

800 hours and still having a blast… Thank You Anet!!

I don’t know about the rage but this happens to me just last night. Someone from my wvw guild [wz] messaged me last night telling i was demoted to “unworthy” status which they will kick out of the guild for not representing and stuff.

I have 1000 kill at wvw with this guild so its crazy to be tagged as one.

Funny because they told me its fine to have another guild before i joined and just represent the guild whenever i do wvw. Which im doing eversince. And sometimes whenever i do pve i even actually stay and represent them asking members to join for some dungeon runs to help them with their sets and leveling.

Then he told me i should ask permission whenever i will not represent the guild.

Oh well i left the guild. I can still run wvw with out the need of havin one.

This is the type of guild that’s at the heart of the reason why people say such bad things about full representation guilds.

We aren’t all power crazy dictators who humiliate it’s members. I’ve always been extremely considerate in regards to representation and would never treat someone with such awful disrespect.

I’m sorry to hear you had such bad experience. Be assured there are nice guilds out there, just have to find it some of us just want to make a strong family bond, solid community feel but sadly I know the type of guild you speak of. It doesn’t happen to just full time representation guilds, it’s a far wider problem.

Thank You

I respect what they wanted to achieve in the guild. I just can’t be that guy they wanted me to become. And i am not against it, its jus funny how they decide and act on such matters.

I know there’s a lot of good guilds out there. i dont want to thing they are disappearing on my server.

not for me … coz whenever i am in a party all i read is that why are you not dying… very happy with my guardian. …

Here’s mine with her t2 cultural…

thats probably a good thing to do.. know your oponent… its skills etc..

he’s usually starts by casting earth spell .. then there’s his skill that puts 9 stacks of might to the char and swiftness plus 2 more boon..

he will use that lightning skill to dash at me for an interupt.. encircle me with fire then summon an ember..

i fought a d/d ele in wvw one time… he’s really good.. as a first time guardian trying out my builds.. i died 3x in a 1 in 1 fight…

i am seeing my damage so little and he hits me hard…

any tip?

thanks..

cool.. i will try n check this out

Please tell me what you think with this plan i have for my guardian.

Armor – AC set , power, vit, tough
Runes – superior rune of dolyak tougnes , strength n regen
weapon – power, prec , crit damage ( GS , torch n scepter )
acc – power , prec , toughness ( if theres one with stats like this)

rigt now with out the rune and exotic acc i have 2,9k power and 2,9k armor and 15k-16k hp..

i want my guardian to at least take less damage while producing enough.

Please post your stats here, i would love to learn and see how other ranger build there char..

this happens to me.. weird thing is that it says it matches something and will allow you tk proceed with the process..

Any one having the same issue?

tossing 4 of kind green mythril trinkets to mforge gives me nothing..

anybody here uses AC set with its rune for the guardian? how do you like it so far in terms of stars n rune effectivity?

An exploit will always be one no matter what. The thing the bothers me is that it’s either ANET doesn’t know about until it becomes noticeable OR they knew but they did not informed us.

Players wants gold, wants rarer and exotic mats and equipments. With the drop rate being like this player tend to find other means to get those things above.

Like what i was doing for the past couple of days, figuring out how crafting would help other than quick leveling and getting me exotic sets. I started checking how i can crafts and probably earn from it or even get ectos from it in a cheap way.

I can’t do buy and sell over TP either coz i will be needing gold to do so.

Then i read the topic of people getting banned coz of the snowflake exploits. Which shocked me coz i wasn’t awarw of it until i decided to hit the forum and read stuff in here..

In this game people just do not play, there is a trading option and crafting (business involve). Means player will find away to earn and get stuff they need with the in game resources they have. So i do not see any problem with player finding it easy to craft and salvage and sell if this will means getting what they need or want int the game.

If it’s a bug ANET shouldve learned about it first and hace it fix during the wintersday event. In this case it’s an exploit that ANET doesn’t want people to do n abuse or they will get banned which is unfair.

If you told the player earlier and warned them issues about banning and exploiting could have been prevented.

People who exploits should be BAN from the game i agree. But at least don’t let the player find it first before you do.

I may not be an expert but here’s how i handle my pet.

I always use protect me when get swarmed + signet of stone.

Go back a bit using Lightning reflexes and once my pet died switch to another.

It’s not all the time you have to use your pet to attack. That’s what i learned so far.

It’s a great support too. And comes handy at times. Most of the time for me. Especially taking damage for me.

How do we provide exactly what information you need?

We play and experience the game live. And we’ve been playing for months now. Isn’t our experience with the game enough to say that, there’s a lot of changes going on that we player are not aware of?

Play the game. Try jormag for example. See if you guys could get the same amount of loot we get before. (i know you guys are playing, it is odd that you experience the games differently than ours).

Or you guys can create your own built of the game on a private server you could only access comparing every built you release since 1-2 months ago. Maybe it will give you guys an idea on what we are saying here. (even before and after the nov 15 patch).

I am not sure if playing for 4,8 or 12 hours would generate an accurate drop rate table base on your loot table percentage so maybe you can help us here.

Any numbers of mobs we should kill?, the numbers of hours we should play?, the amount of MF we should wear (0 ~ 100%)? or the number of chest we should open for us to provide the CONCRETE DATA you were saying.

And may i remind you that it is not our TASK nor our RESPONSIBILITY to do this.

But i am willing to help for the greater good. For the community.

But maybe you guys should start asking those people who’s been testing and checking the games on your end if they notice something.

The player doesn’t know the maths, the RNG, the loot table and stuff. So please think about the CONCRETE DATA you were saying.

I don’t want to spend my whole day trying to figure it what YOU GUYS can’t figure. But i will try and help the community. This weekend i will a lot one day for this.

I hope you guys can post something, coz we are doing our part. Please do yours and give us feedback on the things that you are looking at and already found out as of the moment. Give and take that’s all i’m asking.

I love your game a lot. So please please please i hope you found something or give is feedback about this matter.

(This post was not made to offend anyone).

So disappointed with you guys… 10~15 of you running around that place killing people doing the puzzle…

So i did claw of jormag today and was shocked with the drop rate.

I barely got anything but 7 trophies , 2 green gloves and white from mobs.

Running around and killing with 150% MF….

Can someone from the Dev team or anyone in Anet explain what’s going on please..

I am so glad i got my 1400 gems at 68s → 100 gems a month ago.

Now its 69gems : 1g.

I am well aware that MF does NOT work on chests. But still RNG applies to it.

Here’s how i think the RNG is working:

LOOT

EXOTIC – Weight (0.0001) In 100% MF this goes up to (0.01) chances of getting.
RARE – Weight (0.001) In 100% MF -> (0.1)
GREEN – Weight (0.01) In 100% MF -> (1)
BLUE – Weight (0.05) In 100% MF -> (5)
WHITE – Weight (0.4) In 100% MF -> (40)

Trophy – Weight (0.5) In 100% MF -> (50) over ¹⁰⁰ (assuming this is the base total weight for all)

Base on the example above:

My magic find increases my chance of getting Rarer Materials / armors but it also increases my chances of getting Whites and Trophies which in fact is what happening right now.

For example in Jormag, i could get more trophies, whites , some of blue and green and at least 1 yellow in a run.

When i kill a monster how does RNG works base on weight and MF the player has?

Does MF only affects rarer components or it affects all set of components (armor, weapon, mats etc [whites, blue, green , yellow etc]) ?

Will killing more monster gives me a higher chance of getting rarer components?

OR its just RANDOM like… RANDOM (a-z) no weights or what so ever involve ?

CHEST

How do you control what the player gets on their chest?

Is it the same as above RANDOM (a-z) no weights or what so ever involve, or its control by weighing and randomizing on the actual weight when the player opens the chest?

2 Months ago good drops frequently happens but now i seldom get rare components. It’s very noticeable that i know you did something on how RNG works at the back of your system (weighing or what so over).

I could even get 12 dyes in one Jormag Run. Or few runs in ORR events.

How can we accomplish getting endgame gears or the ascended gears if you guys are controlling what we are getting.

Please can someone enlighten me about the drops , MF and how you guys control what we are getting interms of LOOT and chest drop. Because having a full MF gear somehow feels useless now.

Thank You. I apol0gize for the long post.

I suck at jumping puzzle, but who ever created that fractal dungeon where there are harpies and you have to jump to get the top, kudos to you. Coz there my Jumping Skill’s in extreme awesomeness lol….

I love jumping for the first few tries lol!!

Tried that one in the lost shore and its frustratingly fun lol..

Funny… i know exactly what you feel. I was hoping to get cool stuff in there. Instead i got a light armor skin, passion fruit, shell and one more item i forgot use for crafting. That’s for 250 Gems.

And what’s crazy about it is that, the same skin i was able to get as a loot at the cove!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?

I never complained coz its my choice to bought that one. But then i saw your post which made me feel that i am buying expensive things at the gem store only to get this kind of stuff. Somehow i feel cheated.

I know i have disappointment with the lost shore event but i could say to my self that will not stop me from playing this amazing game.

I’ve been telling my friends and guild mates how much i like you game and the effort you guys exerted in this game.

Especially Fractal of the Mist which has been one of fave expansion you made for the game so far. It amazed me how challenging and fun every fractal is. And how engaging it is for the player.

I am looking forward for new contents and of course you guys fixing our issues for a much better game play.

Despite many doubts on the new gear coming from players, i know to my self i am excited about it. It means new stuff and things we can try on. And the contents came pretty fast!!!

Keep up the good work guys. I love your game!

I’ve been so frustrated when i got disconnected the moment i am about to finish.

Thought it was just me, only to find out that almost all of us in that group got dcd.

Waking up at 4am in the morning here in my country to join this event, staying for 2 hours killing and dying, and got nothing in the end. What does that tells me?

Very disappointed. Such an effort with a unrewarding ending.. sigh…
