fractals are garbage
>>538669263why
>>538669263>t. wvwussy
>finger-spasm-db-click on blue pants>le genius game remove the legendary to equip that and dont askbruhruh
>>538669949>legendary poorfag has done like 5000 t1 fractals over the course of 2 days>... for two 20 slot bags and 2 bag spaces
>>538669949Jesus have some self-control anon.
>>538669949I'm at 20/22. Step it up, faggot.
>game is so dead that the no life poopsockers are forced to play the same several fractals on ultra easy mode for the same amount of time (or more) than an average job shift so they can get... uh... more inventory spaceThe absolute state of this fucking game.
how's anet going to convince people who've spent hundreds to thousands of hours and dollars in gw2 to play gw3 and start from scratch?
>>538671885Idk about tripfag but I've been doing it pretty causally on and off. The timegate being there incentivizes cooling your jets anyways, idk why you'd rush so much.>>538672489Give out another Fiery Dragon Sword
>>538672489It always blows me away when I realize there are people that think this way, as if they actually think Guild Wars 2 will or should somehow last their entire lives.
>>538671885I'll have you know that I caught the COOF-19 and have been off work since Monday. Otherwise I'd be at 5 or 6/22.I also dropped 900 gold making all the turtle minis. I honestly have no idea why I don't even like minis that much and never switched off Professor Mew
>>538673043everquest is still around, and WoW and runescapeselling a sequel to an MMO is much harder than doing it with a regular game
>>538673043>they actually think Guild Wars 2 will or should somehow last their entire lives.the edgy hackermans of gw2cc have reversed all the packets so if gw2 die they can sell that or make an unofficial server like lineage 2 l2j
Why do I always get level 1 fractals when I use matchmaking?
>>538673043I played some GW1 literally today (My LDoA character is now at 19)
>>538674430The event and matchmaking is to get people into it who otherwise don't play fractals. I'm hoping they up the difficulty next week or after.
>>538674461Right, they released GW1, produced a bit of content for it for like 2 more years, then moved on to its sequel. GW1 didn't last forever as an actively developed "MMO", it lasted for like 2 years. No GW1 players died as a result, though I guess they do act like they did.
>>538673447Chicken soup, buttered toast. Hydration. Turn on movies. Become 4 layer bed burrito until you sweat it all out.
>>538675021Closer to 6 years, Prophecies released in 2005, and the final Beyond story line was released in 2012, and they cancelled 'Utopia' to work on GW2 instead.There's one Dev at Areneanet working on it part time though, it got a couple updates this year with the anniversary.
>>538675636>and they cancelled 'Utopia' to work on GW2 instead.Why did they do that?
Jormag is probably the most disappointing thing in this game. All that buildup, the manipulation, the seemingly amicable personality, etc. and it all hits a fucking brick wall and dies in a lame meta event. Such a letdown. I was hoping this fucker would get its own expansion.Debra Wilson needs to stop doing these characters. She's cursed.
>>538675692Forum post seems to be gone, but the wiki still has it "While we were building out the story and associated characters, we started playing with the in-game tech more and more. It got to the point where we started to ask questions about things fundamentally associated with Guild Wars as a whole. I think the big turning point came when we essentially created a prototype for something like Shaemoor, that was a persistent map that had 50+ people running (and jumping) around. Like Joe mentioned some of the foundational code work was built around instances being the core PvE content and as we started to try to break that mold the tech hurdles started becoming larger. I know the engine programmers were also trying to push the boundaries on the quality of assets we were creating, but I don't remember the specifics there. Ultimately it wasn't a single idea that pushed us over, but enough things popped up that we decided our efforts would be better spent moving our designs into a new game." — Mike Zadorojny, Utopia brainstorming that lead to GW2 — Guild Wars 2 Forums
>>538675937Never put those together but yes, she does do the "smartest bitch in the room" archetype a lot for characters. Savathun was way more interesting before they made her so snarky.
>>538676020>but enough things popped up that we decided our efforts would be better spent moving our designs into a new game.Idearrhea strikes again.
So are Asura that join the vigil canonically retards?
>>538675937>tfw I'm a new player and Jormag is the dragon I was looking forward to the most
>>538677940Yes. A lot of them have "give target, me hit" vibes.
>>538677940What if they just want to be fighters anon?
>>538677818...What is this white sauce all over my hamburger.
>>538677940As an Asura main i regret it. I joined them because I liked the way their weapons looked, but this was 12 years ago. I wish I'd gone Priory.
>>538678124I blame COVID even though I know better. Icebrood saga came out at the height of the hysteria.
>>538675937Jormag ain't dead. I'm betting it just transferred its conscience to one of its Claws and sent its real body to fight and kill Primordus. It's the dragon of Mind, after all. Gave up its godly power and body to be free of Primordus and fake its death.
i started during the beta, I quit at the start of soto. is this game worth coming back to? Did they add meaningful changes and did the current expansion turn out better than the first patch of soto?Will I feel like im doing more each day this time around?
>>538678747Nah, they were well into development of EoD by the time Jormag became retarded. Her story was simply rushed out by the skeleton crew while they worked on EoD, similar to what we're seeing now with JW and the "unannounced project." They really don't know how the fuck to properly spread their team and resources.
>>538680013Nope, it's only gotten worse. Like... substantially worse. And the newest expansion, VoE, looks to be more of the same. Even the elite specs are all the most pathetic choices in all but one instance, -maybe- Engineer, the game is practically maintenance mode with all the reused assets and lazy content they're giving out. Feels like they're just holding on until they can officially announce GW3.
>>538680013Its always worth coming back to. No subscriptions and most content isn't irrelevant.
>>538669043w-what?? i'm the op?? :o
>>538671263
Can I get a qrd on what this eikasia legendary reward is?
>>538675937For me, it's Primordus. Primordus was hyped since GW1 (though he was kind of wedged in, the entire EOTN saga only existed as tie-in for GW2). Nonetheless it was a far more awe-inspiring leadup. The Destroyers were fearsome and horrific. Names like DESTROYER OF HOPE, DESTROYER OF DREAMS. Not fucking "destroyer crab" and "destroyer harpy". They were literally apocalyptic and we watched the end of a civilization. There were literal legends about the Great Destroyer. And in classic DBZ fashion they predated an even greater foe, the dragon himself. Even his fucking name, I mean it's PRIMORDUS. The dragon that lives in the center of the earth. FIRE.It literally gets my blood boiling how bad they fucked it all up, on multiple levels. Most of all it's the sheer incompetence and that pathetic fake-ass "muh covid, we can't work, so let's slop together a background mp4 cutscene where da two dragons blow each other up with red and blue lasers". Moronic, halfassed, uninspired, anticlimactic weightless bitchass progression and ending. And then the added insult to injury of the woke shit getting squirted on top like a rectally torn trannie shit. Le Ze/Zem Jormag Le Genyus Mind Whisperer Dragun cuz dis is somehow related to "ice" in no possible way, versus le chud Primordus who is 2 dum to even talk. Also please please just pretend we didn't retcon the fact Primordus is like 50 times the size of jormag. AURENE CRYSTAL LAZERS MAKE IT ALL WORK CHAMPION!absolute fucking dumpster fire, god fucking damn
>>538678983Mordemoth was the Dragon of Plant and Mind, Jormag is the Dragon of Ice and "Persuasion".
>>538680273>maintenance mode If GW2 is in maintenance mode, then what is GW1 in?
The new weapon-trail infusions they added for the event are cool.They mostly just make me wish that Legendary weapon glow, trail, and foot effects were separate equippable items though.
>>538678747Yea but Icebrood Saga also had one of the best starts out of all gw2 expansions/living worlds. Grothmar Valley was a fucking amazing starting zone and is still my favorite area in the game to this day. You can tell they were inspired and ready to put out some good content until the higher ups fucked them over.
>>538672489Video games arent portfolios, its like youve never heard of sequels>wtf how did bungie get people to buy halo 2 after spending all those hours in halo 1>wtf how did bungie get people to buy halo 3 after spending all those hours in halo 2>etc etcYou peabrain
>>538672489The Hall of Monuments 2?
>>538687214>comparing an MMO to a shootbang game where the main draw was competitive matchesyeah, I don't think players are going to move games for WvW or PvP.
They'd be retarded to throw money at GW3 in the current state of the industry when they're already having hiccups on yearly fucking expansions. Stupid motherfuckers.
>>538687214>comparing braindead console shooters to MMOs
>>538687905If they aren't retarded, GW3 will be substantially different from GW2 and not fill the same niche, so they can continue to support/milk GW2.
>>538687995Exactly. The current state of the MMO industry is that it's incredibly, incredibly fucking ill advised (especially now) to try and break into the space as a new game. This is why companies prefer to support existing products. Say what you want about Blizzard but they were absolutely on point to ignore dumb faggots (like the ones in this general) asking for WoW 2.All they need to do is clean up legacy code and maybe touch up textures a bit. The models are mostly fine, the textures are just complete ass.
>>538677940They're smart enough to realize some must fight, so that all may be free.
>>538688160>All they need to do is clean up legacy codeAnet's long-running policy is strictly against this. It wouldn't take much effort at all to improve this game's engine to make use of newer hardware double framerates, but they won't. There's a pervasive fear of touching anything that "already works". And it seems to be warranted given how consistently they manage to break unrelated aspects of the game with every trivial update.
I seriously need to get a FHD healer/buffer to follow me around, adventuring alone is lame
>>538687214>comparing shooters to mmos>comparing early 00s games to modern mmoimpressively retarded.
>>538688160normalfags and streamers love hyping up the idea of a new MMO yet every time they get one they play it for a week and then drop itit happened with New World, Lost Ark and Throne and Libertycompanies keep getting baited by people chasing a high that's impossible to get anymore
the asymmetricality of both the gods and dragons always pissed me off in this gamewith the gods it sort of worked since they're a vaguely roman-like pantheon so you can just assume that there were more divine aspects that warred with/subsumed each other, but the dragons are setup to the literally the foundational force of tyria, and it's a weird fucking non-fitting mix of elements/ideas. fire and ice? great. so, the whole classic greek 4 eleme- oh, no air dragon, no "earth", but "crystal"? isn't ice a crystal, though? isn't that kind of redundant? why just crystals and not the rest of earthen/solid matter? plants? just plants? ok, but animals..? why ONLY plants? a death dragon? ok..? are death and "plants" diametrically opposed..? not really.. no "life" dragon? i mean at least the gods have dwayna and dhuum/grenth. why ONLY a death dragon and not a complement? and then- look, let's spare all of us the embarrassment, i'm not even going to get into how batshit fucking retarded the sea dragon is and the retcon that she's the all-dragon mommy. and don't any fucking redditors talking about life originating in the oceans like somehow evolutionary biology is supposed to play a role in this magical elemental procession.
>>538688573>It wouldn't take much effort at all You don't know that.
>>538692549I do, actually. I know a lot more than you.
Canonically, what is the average penis length of an Asura?
>>538694564Like 1.5 inches hard
>>538692369>no "life" dragon?Wasn't mommy dragon both Water and Life?
>>538695005https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmD8I7Wd6LA
>>538688160>Say what you want about Blizzard but they were absolutely on point to ignore dumb faggots (like the ones in this general that are also plebbitor faggots) asking for WoW 2ftfy
>>538696157That's average mind you. Biggest of all time was a guy named 'Big Dick Dwak," so named because he was just the worst fucking asshole you've ever met who just so happened to also have a 3.1 incher. No Asura under an inch would ever admit it, so the average is taken from statistical estimation rather than objective evidence.
Pretty epic
>>538694564The real question is what kind of dick do Asura have? They have hair, but they don't have mammaries and their skin is weirdly scaly looking.Do they have external junk? Do they have weird reptilian genital slits with slimy tapered internal dicks that are slightly prehensile?

>>538686054let me lick your feet
>>538688160WoW was and still is in a privileged position of having billion subs. They don't need to risk it and release WoW 2. They are also lucky enough to have a game that still looks and plays like a relatively modern game even 20 years later.On the other hand GW1 looks like dogshit. FFXI looks like dogshit. Both managed to launch successful sequels to their games. Granted both GW2 and XIV released back when GaaS were still in their infancy and didn't have competition. These days people are stuck in their own little GaaS bubbles and pull them away is much harder, but on the other hand a good new experience would attract audience that's bored with their decade old dogshit.>All they need to do is clean up legacy codeBorderline impossible. MMOs are not software they can't take brake for a year to rewrite shit, every new update relies on old code. You pull one thing and whole game falls apart like a house of cards.WoW devs at some point said that it's impossible to make default bag bigger because if they try to change it whole game would crumble.They either need to fix that shit slowly one update at a time or just give up and deal with it until game dies or GW3 comes out.
>>538705342I don't know how it is in in gaming because I work in boring enterprise land, but even there old bugs and inefficient performance is almost impossible to address until it's so bad it's affecting business. No project manager will ever prioritize technical debt over new features, and the are layers upon layers of red tape around "unplanned" changes to prevent breaking production tested code, that for all but the freshest of junior developers, they do only as they are told to do. Everyone knows that code from 7 years ago is completely fucked, but also that it isn't worth the time and personal risk to fix it.
>>538697072ayo I love star trek
So do I just do lfg fractals a bunch of times to get the new legendary gloves?
>>538708881More or less, yes. There's a couple "talk to the losers in LA" steps. All the other side-cheevos just give you more dust to move your progression along. Worth doing but nothing to panic over. It's a permanent new thing
>>538709013Oh it's permanent? Didn't expect that. So the 30 day event is for something different?
>>538706102Gaming is the same. The recent things that come to mindWoW waited until their auction house literally became unuseable from constant lag before they finally updated the whole system.XIV login queue was shitting itself and it turned out it was because of 1.0 legacy code that was still running in the background 10 years after original game was shut down.And that one GTA 5 bug that made game load for like 3 minutes, and then one modder dude literally fixed one line of code and reduced loading time to 1 minute. And that shit was in game from release and no one cared to fix it.And how long it took for GW2 to fix their CPU bottleneck issue? Like it happened sometime before EoD if I remember correctly.
>>538673043>gw2 will last the rest of my lifeyes, yes it will...
>>538709175quickplay beta isn't so when it's over you're gonna have to do fractals manually
>>538697072>dies to pistol mesmer bleed stack
Where do I go to get my femcharr's gooch smooched?
>>538709949Gaming is a little different because companies typically have a “core” team that builds the games who then pass them over to secondary teams to maintain them through their lifecycle.It’s not that they won’t budget time away from making content to fix the code, it’s that they won’t budget time away from making the next game to fix the old ones.Worst case scenario is when the company downsizes and drops their core team to focus on their existing live services. What that usually means is they’ll give custody of the game to the content team who make a mess as they work through Intro to Programming 101 in real time. I’m pretty sure we’ve just lived through that with Soto and janthir.
>>538710034dont do it anon
>>538715787>content team who make a mess as they work through Intro to Programming 101 in real time.Yes.t.
>>538675937all of the dragons where disappointing in the end, except maybe mordremoth
What's the best class/spec to speedrun through these tier1 fractals for the event? Rifle mech?
>>538717963Original pre-mount HoT was so good. The personal story climax, not so much, but the overall feel of that incredibly long, agonizing trek through dragon vietnam, step by step, cliff glide by cliff glide, meeting both wonders and horrors in the jungle, slowly putting the pieces of your army back together, doing your Commando Commander thing while also watching Laranthir grow into his own from a secondborn nobody to a resourceful and honorable leader, winning the trust of the other races who fear his very people, culminating in the fight against three genuinely powerful champions and an amazing final battle with Mordremoth himself (you can call it the Mouth, but to me, that's the damn dragon, not Frogremoth), all to that incredible soundtrack, it was all just absolute peak gaming.
>>538687973Whats the difference between the two, besides how mmo niggers believe they're entitled to their virtual assets? Why did Lineage 1 players not have any problems switching over to Lineage 2? Why did Guild Wars 1 players not have any problems switching over to Guild Wars 2? Youre just a bunch of blubbering vaginas that are afraid to let their years of "hard work" in a VIDEO GAME get left behind. You probably bought in to the NFT craze like the baboon that you are.
>>538718423literally anything.i don't think you grasp just how brainless stupid easy t1 fractals are.if you want to split hairs, any class that can apply swiftness. which is all of them. or just slap a sigil of swiftness on your shit.the "difficulty" in fractals is not the combat, it's retards who've never run them not knowing basic bitch mechanics. hurr durr how do i on buttons, how do i press extra skill in deepstone. and even then the mist cuckold solves half this shit for you now in quickplay. TWO hammers and no timeout, lmao. no button puzzles in uncat, but tard babies still falling off harpy platforms
>>538719792it was the very bestit took them a while but they made memories
you hurt my family .you die as I please
>>538719792i thought the personal story mordremoth fight was serviceable, the asspull that was entering mord's mind not withstanding but i doubt anybody, besides pedantic redditors, would argue that the mouth of mordremoth fight wasn't the real story climax
I've done map completion like 3 times and I don't wanna do it anymore but I still have a bunch of leggy kits lying aroundCrazy how people shit and piss themselves over having to play wvw for 5-8 hours for a GoB but don't make a peep about having to go through this slog of hearts and POIs for 20+ hours also wvw gets wvw rush so you can basically get 2 free GoBs in less than an hour, on top of significantly cutting down the progression of reward tracksthere's nothing that speeds up map completion like that beyond buying the skill points from the wvw vendor
Avatar of Mordremoth was kind of daddy.
>>538729336>Crazy how people [...] don't make a peep about having to go through this slogYou are describing the opposite of reality

>>538730185wrong
>>538729336I see plenty of people complain about itMeanwhile I'm sitting on 10 lmao
>>538731837That's right anon, people definitely don't complain about World Exploration. It's definitely not something you see people bitch about in every thread, in every core map you're in for 10+ minutes, a hundred hundred-page official forum threads, the front page of r/gw2, etc. etc.

>>538705342>but on the other hand a good new experience would attract audience that's bored with their decade old dogshitDumb fags keep saying this and never, ever follow through when someone is actually dumb enough to believe that bullshit. It makes zero sense to release a sequel when your current game already has a following and you can just support that. Because competing with yourself makes no sense and contrary to what you're saying, nobody ever actually means it when they say "dude I'd totally just move to a new MMO if they just made one".You have to be a retard to release a new MMO in the current industry.
Have there been any MMO sequels in the past like 10 years that have done well? I only know of maplestory 2 and it flopped.Aion 2 is coming out but aion 1 is basically dead anyway so no one gives a fuck if they make a sequel but the sequel will probably flop for the same reason aion 1 flopped which is lack of content and that obnoxious grindy rng gear enchantment garbage that every korean MMO seems to have.
>>538745951lineage 2
>>538745951Destiny 2 managed to drag itself across its own finishline. It's dead now for real though.
I just killed Eparch, how bad is Jannythir?
>>538747280its mid, which is pretty good for gw2
>>538745951Not really. But people thinking that there won't be a GW3 because of this are insane, NCsoft's literally making Aion 2, why the fuck wouldn't they force ANET to make that shit? They don't care and it's not exactly a secret that GW2 isn't profitable.Don't forget that this is the company who put the NCSoft CEO as the Empress in their korean-inspired Cantha expansion.>>538747280Starts off pretty good, a little too much wordswordswords but Lowland Shores is a great map. After that it's all downhill and rushed out bullshit, and SOTO looks like a masterpiece by comparison.
>>538747280There's nothing particularly BAD about it. It just goes from pretty neat to underwhelming fairly quickly. It's better than SOTO.>>538747407this 2bqh lol
>>538747912>why the fuck wouldn't they force ANET to make that shit?Because unlike Aion, GW2 isn't an utterly flagging game that has been struggling since 2009 and only ever been popular in AsiaNCSoft has not yet greenlit GW3 and anyone who is pushing this meme didn't actually read. Even for NCSoft, GW3 would be especially retarded. No investor under the sun is going to look at the MMO market and go, "Yeah, right now is the time to dump fucktons of money into this" ESPECIALLY not when the game is perfectly serviceable for milking.>it's not exactly a secret that GW2 isn't profitableConsidering the huge influx of people running around with low mastery ranks and this event targeted at new players, I'd say they got a nice bump after the anniversary sales. They even are offering free goodies to ease new whales into the farm.
>>538745951Destiny 2>b-but it's no-it is as much of an mmo as GW1.
>>538752616Ma'am, this is /gw2g/, gw1 is /vm/
mcharr really put the barb in barbecue.
>>538751307>NCSoft has not yet greenlit GW3They literally have though.Not to mention all of the job postings for senior, lead and other high level positions for their unannounced project over the last 5 years including Director of Marketing and Head of Publishing at the end of last year. 14 out of these 55 job postings mention MMO or MMORPG, so maybe it's an MMO maybe it's not. But they're pretty deep into development on it to be hiring key positions for marketing and publishing.
>>538762310Your conjecture does not equate to confirmation, just like all of the shitposting schizos in this thread and on the forums. This is not the first time NCSoft has had talks about a project that ultimately ended up canned or folded, if we counted all the shit that NCSoft has discussed that never saw the light of day we'd probably have an entire laundry list.You reading a few job openings on ArenaNet's site and skimming a conference call does not give you any more insight into the company than the average redditnigger bastard and I will proceed to /laugh at you when in 6 years when NCSoft does what NCSoft does.

I don't want to tryhard this event but I also don't want to fall behind. How many quickslop fractals a day do I need to do to stay on pace?

>>538766325Sounds good. Thanks.
>>538766387They do, but it's rare. There's a near little vocal conversation with Zojja about the Snaff prize at the end of SOTO if you play asura.

I think most of the axe skins SUCK
>>538767334Fuck all the twitch sippers. I got KEKED getting it the real way.
If I'm personal frac level five does that have any impact on anything or is this basically a separate thing?
>>538768157it's irrelevant, all the quickplay fractals are considered scale 1 and don't actually increase your personal scale>>538767420the butcher knife, giant krait blade and elonian/sunspear sickles are all pretty cool, but otherwise a lot of axes are boring or unremarkable, I agree
this Fractal event is great but it also killed the population of Janthir Wilds mapsat least, I can hardly find players to do events…

>>538775338Does the legendary key let you skip the Clovers? Those are by far my most hated part of making leggies.
>>538776151no
>>538776151>The kits contain the exotic precursor weapon (account bound), the gift of the weapon, and a choice of Gift of Magic or Gift of Might. That leaves most of the Gift of Fortune and Gift of Mastery to be obtained by the player.
>>538776278Fucking hell it leaves the worst parts to get yourself. Screw that.
>>538776151I've been trying to make one and they seriously are the worst, I spent 10 coins on the Mystic forge gamble only to get gossamer scraps and it felt like somebody kicked me in the fucking balls
>>538776436>worst parts clovers>gen 1bruh
>>538776151Clovers are everyone's most hated part. If the key gave you the option to choose 77 clovers every single person would choose that shit.
>>538776624Besides clovers nothing about gen 1 is annoying really. Unless you're going for the entire precursor collection crafting.

Best place to grind out a fuckton of Kralkatite ore? Like a FUCK ton of it?
>>538783867farm eternal ice, convert
>>538783867Maybe unexpectedly, Bjora Marches. Do Drakkar and the other meta each day, and do a full run gathering all the Eternal Ice Shards and opening all the mastery chests. Then go to the vendor by the first waypoint and trade the Eternal Ice for Kralkatite. If you still want to do more after that each day, do the hearts in Istan to buy what you can from each heart vendor, I think you can do this on each character.I think if you like PVP/WVW you can do the Istan reward track, no idea how long that would take though.

Any reason not to unbind backpedal? I see people doing it in during some high end content videos and I'm just not really sure why
idk why necro is popularevery spec feels like shit with no impactand the fuck is harbingerlol me throw glass heehe XD
>>538794047Yeah, to not go crazy while adjusting your position in jumping puzzlesI wouldn't unbind movement options in MMOs made after classic wow anyways.
>people are complaining about clovers for gen 1 legendariesNever look up gen 2 legendary requirements...
>>538796598Good thing I'm never going to be making any of them then
>>538796598the collections for some of those gen 2s are wildanet better not put those things in the WV or there will be riots
>>538796952I don't think anything is safe after the disregard they displayed with the infinite omnipotion.
There she is, my wife
Should I spend my acclaim getting mystic coins or just go straight for the clovers? I'm not worried about getting globs of ectoplasm, so would coins be a better deal?

>>538801009lmao get fucking grindtranny
>>538794047wow boomer mentality of backpedal being bad for pvp because it moves more slowly, so back in 2005 people made a show out of unbinding backpedal to "prove" they were good or whatever
>>538804078I didn't grind anything saar I redeemed the asstrail acclaimed saarbut to think they care about 'riots' over gen 2 leggys in the VoE WV after watching them shit on the turbo autist grinders in a free unannounced update is just silly
>>538805490sexo
>>538804847>boomer mentalityYou still don't backpedal in WoW PvP in 2025Moving slower than you can to the position you want to be in, for no reason, is literally always bad in PvP in any gameWoW even has a reason to not want to be hit from behind and it's still always bad
Goddamn, the Zhaitan fight is underwhelming
>>538801698
>>538801009What did they do with it?
>>538813185Added it to wizardmart for 1000 wizardbucks.
>>538813360Anet isn't retarded enough to just do that right? There's probably a catch or way to be compensated if you farmed the original one.
>>538813642Your compensation is a mail that says "lmao get owned loser"
>>538805490>39kbdas it mane
>>538813642As of right now the only compensation is an item that makes crafting more leggy gloves from the event a little bit shorter. They really don't give a shit anymore.
The matchmaking thing they came up with is crazy good. I've legitimately que'd over a hundred fractals and I've had 3 shit groups. It bugged out more than the players being shitters. This is probably the coolest event they've done in a long time and the fact it came out of fucking no where is awesome. I want this matchmaker for everything else in LFG.
I've never done fractals before and want to try the quickplay. Should I use my Engineer or Necromancer? And what sort of build. Spoonfeed me.
>>538815789its baby mode piss easy you would have to try harder to fail then to finish>>538815528you're retarded if you think that matchmaker would would with serious content like raids or strikes
>>538815789I don't know about higher tiers or whatever but the way it works now it's seriously not hard at all, don't worry about it. Only time it has ever been even a little hard is when all my teammates go off in a random direction and I end up fighting like 8+ guys by myself, but even then I'm totally fine and I play the class known for dying a lot.
>>538815789just queue it up and have fun

>>538816394Man what an autistic take that I 100% agree with.
>>538816087You're retarded if you think they haven't already had a version of this going for years with strikes.
I'd wreck Jormag's frozen dragussy
>>538816394I will type "Hello! How are you guys today!" at the beginning of every single one and there is literally nothing you can do about it.
>>538817358right click > block is even less apm
>>538817203it's a they, so don't forget to play with their dick too
>>538817203I'd perform unholy rituals to get Primordus' dragock hard but fail because he's too damn sleepy
>>538785268I do this when the color im forced to pick has one of the forts so i can watch a series meanwhile.If i dont get a fort then I'll just use my running away build to try and get objectives, its a tolerable gamempde that way.
>>538813926No?I already had the pot and I don't see compensation. You can't even buy the onmipot and convert it to relics as it should be
Just played my first 3 quickplays. Hardest part was not having swiftness and keeping up with the players who knew what they were doing.
So for these fractal legendary gloves, I'm assuming you can only pick 1 armor class to have it on, but you can use it in the wardrobe for all 3 weight classes?
>>538820968Since they gave away the onmipot i bet you get all 3 weights
>>538820968They haven't said one way or another whether unlocking the gloves on one weight class unlocks the skin on all three, but the item description doesn't say anything about that. I'd call it a 50-50 whether you need to grind it out three times for the other two skins or not. They're probably better off making you grind out all three for the skins, considering how mad some people are about the WV Omnipotion.
>>538820968>https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractalline_SparkYou repeat this to get the other 2 armor types after your first choice
>>538775338Does the kit let you pick Eternity and get Sunrise and Twilight for free?
>>538776151For me it's the gift of exploration. At least the gift of battle you get through playing, exploration literally has you ride through every map and complete all hearts, and some of them are cancer.
>>538777868>think I need to reach a certain point in the expansions to unlock the eliteit would've made more sense if the "mentor" NPCs were the ones to unlock the elite specs for you, but they weren't introduced until PoF and the community would've rioted if Braham with Eir's longbow had "taught" the coomander to be a dragonhunter.>>538778341>Italy>jobItalians have been running from their country since its foundation because finding a job there is impossible>northerners fucked off to Brazil>southerners fucked off to the US>as soon as the EU became a thing everyone with a degree moved to Germanythe only ones who stay there to this day are either public workers or welfare leeches.
>>538806720Wait until you get to Jormag.
happy friday
is pvp still a condi fiesta?>quit at the end of pof
>>538824065yeah i lol'd when my ((female)) friend said she's gonna get an engineering degree in yurop and move to italy. fast forward 5 years later shes working dishwasher in germany.anyways guild wars 2, new xpac seems good and makes me wanna return
>>538820968>>538821867No idea about the skin, but the patch notes made it clear that the other two weights are unlocked separately. There are several skins that are only unlocked for one weight, so I'd guess that's how it works for these gloves as well.
>>538825018>new xpac seems goodI wish, but the elite specs are garbage and that's literally all we know about Visions of Eternity.The homestead preview was nice but homesteads in general are borderline useless: you can park your alts there but can't interact/exchange items with them, can only invite up to four other players and can't decide where to move the home instance nodes. You can harvest all mining/logging/gathering nodes at once, which is cool, but even then you have to open all other nodes (airship cargo, bandit chest, dragon bash pinata etc) one by one.I'm more hyped for this Fractal event than I am for the new expansion, and that's pretty sad.
>>538826604>elite specs are garbagewhats garbage about them?
>>538823731Anet needs to give players a skip alternative for those who had done it once before.1g per heart skip?
>>538826735In case you missed the beta, some of them are a slight change from the core classes:>Warrior gets another resource on top of adrenaline, which is spent to make Shout skills activate again with decreasing intensity>Guardian gets a "shroud" (actually a kit) that generates light auras and a boon that heals when a light aura explodes, virtues are the same as core and have no synergy with this "shroud" or with light auras>Revenant doesn't really get anything, the new legend has one of its utilities buffed based on who you have on your other legend slot, and you receive a flat stat increase based on your active legend>Thief gets 1-2 more stolen skills but they're randomised, and now has to spam them since using them provides a damage boost and some initiativeThen you have the EoD 2.0 ones:>Ranger gets a better Bladesworn since its new kit is much more mobile and still allows weapon swap>Elementalist gets Catalist with an option to stay in a single attunement all the time, but no weapon swap>Mesmer gets Virtuoso but instead of blades you farm notes, and you spend notes to summon instruments that provide buffsFinally:>Necromancer gets a new shroud that summons spirits, they stay in place and shoot lasers like turrets, but disappear after a while>Engineer gets the Venom symbiote and can shape shift to create weapons, shields, make itself liquid to avoid damage and create damage AoE Basically, Engineer got an actual elite spec, while Ranger got an OK but fun one and everyone else got screwed over, with Revenant having probably the worst of the bunch.
>>538828121I'd be OK with Janthir-style heart items rewarded by events that can be given to a heart NPC of your choice to fill the bar faster.
>>538828218from pov of someone that quit at the end of pof>new warrior resourcemaybe a good thing, more skillfull class>more guardian boonsbad>flat stat increase for revgood but boring>thief has to spam stolen killsbad and annoying>ranger gets a better bladeswornlol!>ele single attunementfor me it defeats the purpouse of playing ele but ok>mesmer farms notesits just a reskin then, bad>necro laser turret spiritsmay sound fun idk>engineercool as fuckOverall youre right, practically everyone got fucked over but the engi
>Inventory Management Wars 2now i remember why i stopped playing this game
>>538828734>for me it defeats the purpouse of playing eleSingle-attunement Elementalist has been highly requested for years since GW1 eles could stay on Fire pretty much all game long, and shitters think changing attunement is hard. However, with the balance patch from last month it's very much possible to just camp Fire Tempest so the mono-attunement Evoker is already redundant. The whole Evoker thing in general is stupid: you choose one of four pokémon (on for each attunement) and spam skills of that pokémon's element to charge its special attack:>3x skills of that attunement charge a special attack>3x of that special attack charge a stronger special attackThe whole mono-attunement thing is unlocked by picking a specific trait that makes the pokémon's special attacks recharge your weapon skills faster. This doesn't acknowledge that every attunement is overspecialised and pretty much needs the others to be effective, and you have no utilities/traits to make up for that.If the whole identity of the spec had been "stick to a single element", then every trait could have worked around what you're missing from the other attunements but, done this way, it's basically an afterthought.
>>538829832I forgot how bad it was until I made an alt account1 bank slot250 storage cap1 shared inventory slot that shit is borderline unplayable and it takes so much gold to get enough gems to unfuck it
>>538830598>shitters think changing attunement is hardexposed by the recent event regarding fractals >:)>it's basically an afterthought.it feels like the entire xpac idea is, i'm on hopium and bet it's just a means to get their funding for a better xpac in few years
>>538830871>i'm on hopium and bet it's just a means to get their funding for a better xpac in few yearsI thought this is what SOTO and JW were for considering all the refused assets and the lack of new elites

If I get that key to old lion's arch, is it a "real" map, like with players chilling at the trading post? or just a private instance?

>>538847609True, I just find it hilariously ironic that it was intended to get more players into fractals and it ended up being such a worse experience than if a newbie were to put 'dailies first time' in t1 lfg.

>>538821867I doubt they'll let you get leggy gloves for every weight this easily, so I'm assuming they unlock the other weights too.What I'm more curious about are the graphics for the gloves, as the leggy ones didn't seem much different from the exotic ones while inspecting.

>>538876750Showing new players the skips people expect to use in real fractals is unironically the most helpful thing you could be doing in this.Who cares if they don't see it the first time, they'll catch it the second, third, or fourth.Add the rest of the fractals so scrubs can learn Twilight Oasis in baby mode instead of my daily T4 for once.
>>538877831The queue thing doesn't have all the fractals? Then how am I still not getting the few that have the cheevo collectibles in them?
>>538763228holy cope
>>538878380week 2 will bring the next batch
So Ventari doesn't have a single stunbreak?How does the "Healer Support" legend not have an AOE stunbreak for allies?
>>538878380It only has 10 of the 24 total fractals.>>538878690Have they said anything about that?
>>538878951oh wait my bad, all other achievements have "1" in their name except Stabilizing the core, so yeah I guess that's all we get
>>538804847Imagine not having an about face key.
>>538854814It's the only thing you actually get to customise in this play-how-you're-told "rpg" so of course everyone wants to focus on it.
>>538877517if you go down on the side you wont dieunless potato hp, no leaps, no ports, no heal
>>538881386why do you use a tripcode newfriend
>>538881608>tripcode on>incognito drunk Musk buy me the VoE key>i write one of my random email address>i get the key>go spam 111 in wvw>wake up all sweaty>cry in the shower
>>538878408>no argument, just the same scriptThat's what I thought. You know nothing. Enjoy your totally epic sequel that's definitely coming soon™.
>>538878823>Thinking Rev is allowed to have anything goodlook at conduit that's all you need to know how much of a shit the devs give about rev
>>538849012Sounds like the time I tried playing FFXIV
>>538885032Vindicators getting to trivialize all content with spammable AoEs that shit out damage while evading might have something to do with why Revenant doesn't get everything
>>538875862Not gonna watch but I'm assuming for this creator's sake that they're making builds with the expectation that players will get comfy in quickplay then continue up the fractal scale.
I think GW2 will go through a similiar surge in player numbers now like FF14 did during shadowlands.WoW and FF14 are so unbelievably dogshit there is no other game for people to go to
Is metabattle reliable? I am just trying to get and idea of what the meta looks like
>>538885238yeah how long did it take for vinidcator to be useful? oh yeah
>>538885032The fact that Herald can't have all their facets on at the same time for a complete circle makes my brain sad.
>>538875862there's probably people running this shit for the first time wearing greens and yellows with random thrown together buildsI used to be that guy
>>538885238what are you talking about, all content aside from cm stuff is trivial for most specs, no rev spec is even in the top 30 dps anymore. herald is bottom QDPS, Renegade is only good in fractals and Vindi only has solo shit going for it which many other specs can do aswell.
>>538875862As a new player it would be nice to have an idea of what I should be looking for as far as builds
>>538887648regenade just ate a bunch of PvP nerfs too, it pisses me off since I like to do PvP while I do map completion so I don't lose my minda gaynet dev must have gotten shit on by rev players recently
>>538887648there has to be a downside to revs considering you can have perma quickness or perma alac
>>538888018??? i can have perma quickness on my scrapper while having 5times the utility of a herald what the fuck is this argument even
>>538669043what bottom dress/pants is that?
>>538888167You get spammable damage on your dodge, it's enough :)
>>538888167could you go perma quick with berserker only? That's what herald could do
I like doing pvp unranked while levelling and exploring and every game is a complete stomp, as in one person casually doing 1v5 in front of our spawn. Is there anything that can be done or is pvp just imbalanced?
>>538888449yes scrapper can go full zerk and have perma quickness if you are able to not be braindead and combo your fields. I can agree that herald is easier to manage for sure and deserves probably being the lowest DPS for that but in serious groups it is easily overshadowed by all other quickness specs due to that.
>>538889057that's just how pvp isranked is better for learning to pvp because you're more likely to get grouped with other low ranked players
>>538807059I really wasn't feeling inspired with this one
>>538891831what about HoT
>>538892553heap of trashI didn't photoshop the hot logo and haven't been assed enough to go back and do it
>not having fun>have to do it because of completion autism
I hate these fucking things. I hate them.
>>538895151why
>>538895151I've got 48/77 now to get my first legendary weapon (still debating which to make). I seriously don't know how people can have like 15+ of them without going fucking insane, unless they just have really efficient gold farms and buy them from the TP. Gold is way easier and more fun to get than all this shit so I think I'm going to do it that way after I finish whatever weapon I get.
>>538897940that's what I dofarm metasbuy mystic coinscovert mystic coins to clovers
>>538660410update: just got my first kinfall after getting the second bag slot, yay!
my heartis thorny
I don't like this event. I can't find anyone to do bounty farms with me in PoF/LWS4. Very uncomfy.
>>538900241I still haven't gotten Aetherblade or Snowblind
>>538902441I really feel like this is one of those things that could really be helped with a better LFG UI. I bet there's a lot of people willing to do random open world shit but not willing to check every single map's LFG window, especially when it basically rate-limits you after checking like 3 categories in 10 seconds. If I could just have a view of all open world groups all at once I'd probably do a lot more shit in game.
>>538897940The trick is to only very rarely make legendaries so you'll have the clovers from the occasional passive source that hands them out. I'm sitting at like 160
I have 3/4 of the stuff for Vision. Now the annoying part.... Lws4 chievo grinding.
What do you guys go after in new expansions if theres no better gear?
I made a spreadsheet to track a bunch of materials of rares to craft for ecto farming. Anything I should add to it to watch?
primal warden outfit on FHD
>>538904751FHD pussy
>>538904751masteries, relics, materials, cosmeticsJW masteries made warclaw a lot more useful for examplethere's a few SOTO and JW relics that enable some cool builds but you kinda have to work a bit to get them usually
Charr are so cool. I wish I had made my character one...
>>538904751Everything else? There's a ton of shit to do in this game, especially since everything that came out before, stretching back to the original launch, is still relevant. And as with all MMOs, it also helps to take big breaks. I came back after like 6 years and I'm still not even done with LWS4
guys i tested too the *trick* of turning off the hyperthreading but i also turned off the e-coreswith zergs around cpu go up to 100% usage so fps drop anyway but before the min was 3x now is 4x
Are there any axe looking hammers that aren't store items?
>>538908708thundercrag I think
>>538902652yeactually maybe fucking trash map-specific LFG and integrate it into the actual maps themselves in some shape or formbut it will require a lot of time and energy to get it right, so at least re-designing the LFG to be like some sort of massive hub for all game activities (The Director in Destiny, even if it wasn't great) and not have it look like garbage, would be appreciated
>>538908995Or Party Finder in FFXIV. I don't remember much about it because I barely played the game but from what I do remember when you open up PF you see basically every recruiting party on your server, with descriptions, roles they're looking for, duty they're going for, etc. Then you can filter that to see only what you want.
>>538904751Whatever everyone else wants so I can sell it to them and convert the gold to gems
>>538909337I play FFXIV and the filters are great, the party leader can specify what they're looking for and you can search specifically for parties that will take you eg the game rewards having 8 unique jobs so a warrior can look only at parties that don't have warriorThis would be great for the instanced group tabs but honestly all I want out of LFG is a little number showing how many parties are in each tab so I don't waste my time checking each one
>>538917253>a little number showing how many parties are in each tabHonestly this tiny change would make a pretty big difference.
LFG is a largely forgotten tool and is only used for HP trains, JP ports, raid sellers, and festivals.80% of the LFG sections could be cut away and nothing about the game would change. Especially the RP section.
holy fucking kino
>>538918038It needs to be one large list with columns and filter queries so people can just see what the fuck is going on and participatepic related, society never improved on this
>>538904751I just play the game because I think it's fun.
>>538904751the combat carries the game but even good things get oldit's been over 10 years now, I didn't play from the start but I did play for at least half of those and I have hard time bringing myself up to even do a meta
God I want to fuck Rubi so fucking bad bros. Have her plump body just spread eagle across the bed, imagine the squishing sounds, imagine the little pig-like squeals she would make, HNNGGHHHH I love her and that love is only surpassed by fhd
>>538928882she plays fhd too, a ranger in factyou can fuck her and her fhd
>>538928882Nasty braphog, but I get it. The end of the tunnel will be filled with shame and despair.
>People actually teleport hacking in quickplayYou really can't make this shit easy enough for some people can you
Going through SotO I hate how it basically upended all the lore>floating wizard's tower in the background is actually an illusion or some shit>the wizard is actually an ancient godlike shapeshifter>here's a secret order that's actually fighting an ancienter evil for eons, featuring:>an unstoned dwarf>a jotun that's actually an authority on astrology>a lone skritt that can form whole sentences and pronounce words with more than 2 syllables>a deaf and dumb charr that somehow wasn't killed at birth>a nice mursaat>fucking LIVIA, since before you even met>ogres, for some reason>oh btw every other person you knew was also part of this super secret order
>>538931349I didn't even care that much to nitpick over the characters, I just thought that pulling the "here's an even ancieter evil that we were secretly protecting you from!" shit was fucking stupid. That and the "btw we're all like 20000 years old! (while we still act like all the other NPCs in the game)" shit.Didn't they make the bears in Janthir like a gazillion years old too, or was that just me speedreading through the story?
top 3 mmosisters? where are we at in this list?
>>538936942this game didn't even come to steam until like 30 years after it released
>>538673507>everquest is still around, and WoW and runescapeand maplestory, and dfo, and mabinogi, and daoc, and probably even space cowboy (whatever it's called now) too
>>538686942in suspended animation, waiting to be thawed out when they find a cure for bad games
>>538937349then it's not a top 3 mmoimagine not launching on steam exclusively from day 1, absolute fucking retards
>>538938181there weren't any mmorpg on steam in 2012
>>538931349You're right but GW2's story is so across the board terrible that people don't notice.There's some shockingly stupid lore written in SotO/JW.The Mursaat are from Nayos even though they aren't related to the Kryptis, they aren't related to Dreams, there's nothing on Nayos related to the Mursaat, and the Mursaat and Kryptis don't interact once in the story.Isgarren created the Wizard's Court 10,000 years ago because of the previous Dragonrise, even though Dragonrises are explicitly not their purview.Mabon was the first recruit to the Court after fighting Isgarren during the Seer-Mursaat war, which took place several thousand years after the Dragonrise/Court's creation.The Wizards won't do anything about the Void attempting to "destroy reality" because it's an internal threat, but they will help Turai Ossa in his war against Joko for... some reason?I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting.
>>538936942Lost Ark confirmed more successful than World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV combined.
I have a great idea for a new expansion. Keep it completely contained in the base game areas. Core gw2 is fucking peak. We don't need new zones.
>>538939456the idea has been hadold doesn't sell, only new, this is why anet never fixes old and only makes buggy new

>>538953936>>538952795You should be able to get in now
not gonna lie guys, I don't like the JW convergenceit's such a slog compared to the SOTO oneif VoE had a convergence that shit needs to start much faster and not have a main lame objective
>>538956607I thought it would have been impossible for them to make something more boring than Dragonstorm, and then they made 25-minute Dragonstorm.
>>538956607Yeah it sucks. The end bosses are good but they really have fallen behind on their level design. And in Soto, the bosses suck but the pacing is much better. They need to stop rushing shit and hire different talent.
>>538956792Dragonstorm is great. The only problem is that it plays the cinematics every time. DS should be their blueprint for an easy meta event. Simple but unique mechanics, variation, doesn't last too long and good reward.
>>538956607100% agreed, I basically just zone the fuck out until the boss spawns in.
>>538875702It's odd to me that there are so few beginner builds for core specs. Are new players expected to join an HP train ASAP?
Use the prisms nyow
>>538959829hold on Aurene im cumming
>>538959596I feel like so many GW2 veterans are just completely out of touch when they try to give advice to newer players. Someone will ask in like February what they can do to get a bunch of karma to finish a goal and retards will just say Winterfest. They'll tell you just buy the living world seasons with gold on your brand new account with 0 masteries, no real build, etc as you play through the story your first time.
Toxic Spore Samples piss me off. Oh, I sure do love doing an event only to get 1 pristine sample and 5 mush.
I wish there were an in-game option for a very simple, unobtrusive... dot or something beneath culled players.Lowest model limit + vfxdenoiser is the bare minimum for making open world slop even playable. Even adding the nameplates above players makes this shit impossible to follow, ignoring that anything above autoattacking in open world shit is optional anyway.

>>538957118>people seething at dragonstorm at launch for being lazy, uninspired and retarded>its now considered the best meta by virtue of being fast, simple, and having decent rewardsIt's pretty interesting how your perspective on the game changes once you stop giving a shit about the retarded story.

>>538968685At least they made a workbench decoration for your homestead so you can swap there. I think.
>>538968850they did, but they made a separate recipe for the guild hall version, because the current core development teem is too jeet to make it work in both simultaneously, so fuck you if you accidentally bought the wrong one

there will never be a more relevant time to post itskips suckthey're why fractals suck shitand because fractals are gw2's most relevant pve mode they're why gw2's pve sucks cockevery move the game takes away from kill this group of ten enemies as fast as possible, now kill this guy with 100 times as much hp actively makes the pve aspect shittierno your ritualized nonsense you do for $0.19 of videogame currency every day isn't good just because it's faster
>>538970376>fractals are gw2's most relevant pve modeI haven't played fractals in years and i have 8000 gold
>>538970376skips are fun when you play the game and figure them out yourselfit feels cool to notice you can do this part faster etcthe huge shitty part about them is everyone gets coddled in to them by existing players and are expected to do them and /gg at specific points from the beginningskips should also always be harder than doing it the normal way
>muhskipsSometimes it's just more FUN to go at an even pace and wreck everything in your way.but anet fucked up by requiring you to run 30 quadrillion of these things

>>538971389How do /ggs even work in Quickplay?They definitely don't work as normal because I've watched people constantly fuck up the volcanic skip without reviving at the final boss as normal.
>>538971627if everyone does it at the same time and clicks fast, probably.but it's a pugso lol
>>538971627you dont even need to /gg in quickplay, you have the mini teleporters you can use to wp
>mfw act like total retard in qp>never do skips>never use wp to catch up>never do mechanics like seals>ignore instructions in the chat
>>538972307What mechanics? They removed all of them.
>>538956607I like JW Convergences overall because I think the boss fights are fun enough, but the first phase sucks so much ass that I get where you're coming from. It's so passive and boring, Essence just getting farted out from the machines instead of coming from kills sucks, you fight like one or two minibosses instead of the 6-9+ in the SotO Convergences, there isn't even really a pub-friendly fail condition like keeping Zojja alive, etc.
I don't actually know the mechanics to the SotO convergence because literally every convergence I'm not the dedicated suicide bomber guy fails
>>538887496isn't there any content creator who makes videos on how to gear up, what stats combinations to pick, what runes/sigils are best and so on?that sounds like a much-needed topic for every new player since the game doesn't bother telling you anything>>538895151>>538897940you get 20 of them per season on the wizard mart, 7 by completing the regions of tyria reward track (repeatable) plus the ones listed herehttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Clover#Acquisition

She sensed the corruption and fucked off, eventually meeting Isgarren and founding the Court with him and Mabon. Without a Voice to guide the tribe, the Claw of Koda decided to leave the Shiverpeaks and move everyone to Janthir.Basically, Sorrow used to be a lowland kodan before lowland kodans were a thing, and she caused her tribe to migrate to Janthir and become lowland kodans. However, a few decades(?) ago she decided she wanted to reconnect with her tribe and left the Court.tl;dr: the lowland kodans predate the humans but no one has ever heard of them because everyone who lived near their village died around GW1.

When Sya expressed disbelief at the asuran couple tending to children who were not asura, Brokka explained that the orphans would benefit from the couple's love and support in order to cope with the tragedies they had witnessed.>Having witnessed the horrors of war first-hand and remembering Brokka's wisdom, Sya decided to embrace life in full, and publicly transitioned to her true self.This guy heard that his friend wanted to get married and adopt some kids, thought "yeah, that's what I should do, too!" and began crossdressing.It's actually a pretty spot-on representation of how mentally ill a tranny can be, I'm impressed.

>>539005139I know you are Elon Musk pretending to be a poorfag, now buy me mega deluxe VoE edition. And fix your stupid ass space ship, I want to go to mars.
>>539005349I wonder how much faster metas would go if 80% of a given map wasn't specced and geared like complete dogshit. I don't expect everyone to be doing 40k+ dps raid rotations but a lot of people struggle to clear 10k dps
>>539005349waypointing is common sense but the guy implying you could control the specs and gear of players showing up to your overworld events was most likely trolling
>get warrior to 80>start to wonder if I should have done a norn insteadI'm never going to make it to the expansions...
>>539005349Just need to remind others to set their personal wp, I did that every time I'm pugging some bullshit boss.
>>539005736If the Queen's Gauntlet was still going on you could have gotten a sweaty 5 man fractal group or something and checked how fast you could nuke one of the Blitz bosses with just the five of you. Would've probably needed to do it during the night to avoid pugs joining though. I'd be surprised if it took you longer than 20 seconds.
>>539005736you have to remember that scaling gets exponential after ~10 and ~20 for metas, because player power is so strong now, 5 people can clear a lot of group events if they have a semi competent build, and 15 for metas
>>539005808well yeah he was whatabouting to make fun of the first guy, that much is obvious
>>539006028male norn have shitty proportions and female norn have shitty voices, you're fine

>>539005139>the hill front my houseis it a solitary hill?is there a hedge blocking off most of the view?if you sit and look out, do you picture unending fields, superhuman spaces and the deepest silences in your mind, where your heart is almost startled?
Any ranger mains care to share their expertise? I’ve put together a soulbeast because I heard they’re good at fractals but I’m struggling to break 30k on the golem. I have 250 ping but I can usually get around 36-37k on builds I’m familiar with. When comparing with benchmark videos my skills seem to be hitting for the right amount, so I’m thinking it’s a queueing problem. Are there any weird aftercasts I should be aware of and what’s the best way to deal with them?
>>539013298>is it a solitary hill?i hacked this image from a pajeet spy satellite
>>539013976>I heard they’re good at fractalsif you are doing it just for the event then dont, there is only one sponge boss and most the time ppl leave at the beginning the others you can just spam 1 with whatever class/build
>press 1 to defeat Zhaitanlmaoat least it looked cool
>>539016592Is it kinfall?I figured that would start happening soon.
>>539017502yeah is just a dumb sponge we did it in 2 and all we did was spamming skills then cc and dodge like 2 times at the end
>>538991151>>538993270>>538994834armistice for me so i can see the banter, too. it is nice once in a while to have access to callouts when i can be assed at the moment to help.
>>539013976If you're doing the usual build+rotation there's no unusual aftercasts but you can occasionally interrupt yourself if you queue an action before one completes due to pingStuff like Axe 2/5 and Worldly Impact, Hammer 3 (2 hits) and Hammer 2 particularly can be vulnerable to that
could an asura warrior kill a norn warrior in 1v1 combat?
lul
>>539021485yes, norn have the dumb, and the asura (any IQ) will always outsmart a dumb norn.
>>539020073I've only rolled it once so far but I thought something was legitimately wrong or broken. Dude takes like 50x longer to kill than the other bosses.
>Mfw vision of istanThis is sadistic levels of grind.
>>539022868true
>>539024070Issue is it's the newest fractal and the devs forgot that fractals should scale for the lower difficulties in the recent years. You'll get other stupid shit like it once they add Lonely Tower and Silent Surf to the pool. I wish I had an addon to check boss health values and compare the health to the other bosses and the T4 variant. I guess it'd be pretty easy with Arc.
Does the game assume I have a ranged weapon? I just did a LW1 boss and it was hell because it stood in AoE but I didn't have the range to hit it.
>>539026824There's not a single class in the game that doesn't have ranged options.
>>539025879Ah that makes sense. Bit of a shame because they're just going to get skipped and that will be confusing and off-putting to people that are new to fractals and attracting new people seems to be the point of this endeavor.
>>539027275I didn't have a ranged weapon equipped, so the only range I had was my throw weapon skill.
>bank clogged with luck essences stacks>click craft all>15 minutes masterwork -> rarewhy this shit is so slow
>>539024853Istan should be bombed desu
I hope VoE doesn't reskin all of the most annoying enemy types and make them even more annoying like the recent expansions.
>>539037261Half of them are gonna be Inquest, I hope they don't reuse the Inquest assassin from Kourna that went invisible
Should I be doing the new fractal thing? I have ignored it to keep doing the story, but am I missing useful items?
>>539042015seemingly you'll get free legendary gloves at the end of the event for doing 2 training wheels fractals a dayyou'd be crazy not to do it
>>539042015>>539042389this toohttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_Weapon_Starter_Key%E2%80%94Universal
>>539042813shit I forgot about that stuffbags, bag slots, tormented weaponsthis event is fucking nuts
>>539042015Yes, do the daily and weekly incursions (one a day and ten a week), talk to the mystery niggas in fort mariner, LA for more objectives every week, that should get you enough event dust for the legendary kit
>>539042925and one free armor set with 4 weapons x accounthttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Starter_Equipment_Vendorplus the other npc that sell the tormented sell an armor set too, different per weight one piece unlock the whole set skinshttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Token_Trader
>>539042015I forgot to mention, if you're not 80 yet it'll scale you up to 80, if you are 80 but your gear is dogshit (I'm talking karma greens) you can get a starter rare gearset from the same locationBuy ONE piece of armor from the exotic guy with an event armor token and it unlocks the whole skin set, then change to two other characters with different armor weights and repeatBuy the tormented spear first with the weapon token because it's the most expensive skin on the tp
>>539043589Thanks. I have two 80s but both just have whatever gear the story has given me.
Subspace into almost done.
>>539045891You need 300 more dust on top of that for the fractalline sparks needed for the other glove weights
>>539048503Only need light gloves tbf. I'll try for the others if it doesn't unlock the skin for all weights.
>>538865554Hell yeah, anet's customer service is great.
>>539050039>accidentally end up deleting a Proof of Legend at one point like 2 years ago>can do the math on the achievement vs how much armor left I need and see I'm missing one>helmet is ugly anyways but missing just one piece will bother me>message them and ask if there's anything they can do as kindly as I possibly can>"uhhh looks like you got all your Proofs bro the count looks right to us"At the end of the day it was my fault for deleting it somehow unknown to me, but I'd rather they didn't bother messaging me back at all than send me that
>>539052042It's probably because you didn't include a screenshot of your chocolatey skinned amazonian norn goddess in your support ticket.
>>539052565You're probably right, I thought my Charr in a speedo would be enough fuel but I guess not.
Are charr black? They're basically cat wakandans, right?
>>539050039That's really nice. Glad it worked out for you.
>>539052565post it
>>539053028They're based off of greeks so whiter than that.
>>539053028If anything the Humans in general are the blackest race
>>539053028their players are definitely the zestiest of all racesa while lot of sugar in the tanks there in the citadel
>>539048710Th-that's a lot of subspace...
>>539056884Finally, my own subspace clone.
>>539055079is Ash still a color name choice for skin color picker in character creation? i remember making a toon in Ash just cuz it was the blackest thing on there, and blacks are ashy.
Did they update something with the graphics engine? I used to always play on lowest settings cause I'd get pretty bad fps especially with a lot of people, but I decided to turn graphics to max and I'm getting pretty good fps even during metas. Feels way smoother than it used to.
>>539064435iirc the performance of gw2 is more based on your hard drive
remember that short time when power mirage was good? i miss that
I keep running into this guardian in pvp that is killing my entire health bar in one twirl. I've never been killed this fucking fast in the game. What the fuck is this?
I wish charr were real so I could kiss one
>>539043375>>539043589>unlocking one piece unlocks the whole setis this a bug or something? not that I'm complaining, of course
>>539073974Isn't it because it is/used to be a gem store set?
>>539064435They upgraded it something like 2 or 3 years ago and yeah it runs a lot better now
Should I sell this or eat it?
I love playing sword/sword revenant. What spec should I choose to continue with this? The abilities are crisp as hell with assassin and honestly I think dual swords properly mogged are the coolest looking weapons
>>539077905sneed it
>>539078602herald for quickness dps for groupsvindi for open world
>>539072674sounds like a willbender, just stay away or block him for 10 seconds while he blows his load, then kill him while he has nothinghis elite that makes him invulnerable resets his most dangerous cooldowns so he'll try coming all over you again right after using it, just repeat
What the fuck? Herald's Quickness trait is a Vigor trait in WvW?
>>539079887To save you some time, buddy, just don't expect anything to be in WvW as it is in PvE. It's a whole different ecosystem.
>>539079887WvW tries to actually keep the game balanced instead of just giving every class every boon
I got the ascended weapon/armor chests from the wizardmart. what's the fastest/best way to get more ascended equipment? buying it for fractal vendors or crafting?
>>539080732Yeah instead they give every boon to Guardian instead
>>539082761Ibs5 strikes let you buy them for gold. You can also use the eternal ice you get and trade them for mistborne motes to buy stat selectable trinkets in dragonfall. It’s a little on the expensive side for what it is but ibs5 is a one stop shop for getting into endgame.
Can I get a qrd on what masteries to prioritize in janthir wilds? I just bought it and don't want that awful feeling of learning the wrong masteries first.
>>539085481Learn good ones first and then the rest.
>>539085481warclaw firstthe other stuff is less useful overall
>>539089334This is what I did but I guess one could argue getting the last Lowland Kodan mastery for increased experience gain to finish the rest faster.
>go to the event>npc gives me full armor that is way better than anything I could getI feel like I'm cheating. This armor has just made anything I can earn obsolete.
>>539094090you can get exotics off the tp for like 1g per piece depending on the stats
>>539094090>rares>better than anything anon could ever getI bet this is the guy who was claiming gear isn't attractive earlier
>>539094267>>539094720The stuff I got from the npc is better than the exotics I have. Unless I'm missing something
>>539094820As long as your exotics are level 80 the rares should never be better. Possibly you forgot to rune them and apply upgrades to the accessories.
>>539094820You're missing the fact your non-level 80 gear is complete trash and nothing before level 80 matters and you haven't left the tutorial.
Is it even possible to run fractals below level 80?
>>539094820>commander's armor with rare divinity runes and knight's accessoriesGetting a 4 stat combo for your armor might seem overwhelming but it really isn't that powerful. Even the buff builds these days just completely ignore concentration.The celestial armor on the token vendor must seem like something out of this world>>539095908They scale your level up so yeah, though you'll be pretty weak compared to the properly geared and specced 80s
>>539043375>heavy gets the phalanx setPretty generous since it actually looks good. The heavy and light ones aren't anything special, though I don't know the coomer value on them since I don't play FHD.
>join jw convergence>people crying about half the lobby being mechanist what causes this behavior?

have they said yet what we'll need to do to get the other legendary glove weights?
>>539102280reaper main here, wtf is SAK?
>>539104067the repeatable achievement
>>539104157Special Action Key. The skill above your weaponskills.
>>539094720>>539095070>>539095109So for example, this exotic armor I was looking at buying, it would end up being better than the stuff from the npc? I'm just trying to learn how stats works in this game.
>>539105949those two armors are no better or worse than each otherthey merely have different inate attribute bonuses and different runes attachedthe only "tiers" are the color rarity, so both "exotic" tiers as shown in your photo with the bronze border are functionally equivalent aside from having different attribute stats on them, they provide the same amount of defense
>>539104157Swiss Army Knife
>>539105949Better is subjective with stats. Technically Celestial has the highest total of stats. But a lot of those stats are wasted on certain professions and builds.
>>539105949Anets philosophy on gear is mostly horizontal progression. Everyone is on the same playing field. As long as its a level 80 exotic, you're fine. Ascended gear is for fractals and extremely minor stat boosts with enhancements you can plug into the gear and legendary is for convenience.It mostly boils down to the stat spread you want or need. The Devona pauldrons for example use the berserker stat spread. A high power but squishy power build benefits the most with those stats
>>539104157>reaper main Checks out. Now just need the classic bearbow ranger.
>>539105949Left is the meme stat spread that gives you every stat. While it gives you the most stats in total, it doesn't really specialize in anything and is only really used for somewhat tanky builds that do okayish damage.Right is the classic meme direct damage stat spread that most everyone's used since the inception of the game, since it lets you kill stuff fast, even if you can't facetank hits as much.Neither of them is outright better or worse, just used for different builds.It probably could be argued that any build that wants to build more than 3 stats should not use the 3 stat gear since they give the lowest stats total. Condi builds generally use 4 stat spreads since anet hasn't added a 3 stat spread with both condition damage and expertise.
>>539105949Use right if you love sitting on the floor after failing to dodge a boss's AOE nuke.
>>539109175Depends if he's playing the heavy classes with 20k+ health or the heavy class with 10k health
>>539100430what do you play?
>>539109175I use right on my reaper, temptest, deadeye and mechanist

>>539121310Good, fuck dps meters.We wouldn't be having massive health sponge shit like the Kinfall fractal boss right now if they manned up and banned DPS meters back when people were using Arc against TOS.The entire evolution of mobs from HoT to current content is they still deal the same (or less) damage but everything has 5 times the health (bosses have 30 times the health).

She never says anything divisive, does anything stupid, or really does anything to demonstrate a personality at all.People don't like her exclusively because of her function in the story, because they think the player should have become a god at the end of Nightfall.

>>539162006extremely
>>539162006Losing in your own fantasies makes you a loser, not gay. Me wanting to defeat a rival warband's legionnaire and force him to be my boyfriend, THAT'S gay, but I'm not a loser in my fantasy. Big difference

Charr being the designated engineer race instead of Asura will always be retarded to me.
