Why not add Mystic Coins to Chest of Loyalty?
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 05:33 PM PST
People are always suggesting ways to get more, and other things. It was just a random thought.
You could have a Chest of Loyalty give 10 Mystic Coins by default, then have another 10 as another option.
Might get more coins floating about, random thought.

Don't miss out on today's mystic coin
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 09:00 PM PST
I'm rarely doing my PvE dailies, especially with the wintersday dailies basically completing 2 dailies, so just wanted to point it out to anyone else that might have otherwise missed it. One of today's dailies is the mystic forge one, which gives a mystic coin.

Laughably easy Weaponsmithing 350-500
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 07:21 AM PST
Ran into this while trying to do the last pieces of weaponsmithing and noticed the Vile Jar legendary crafting item was still orange and after using it it stayed there giving at least a whole level of crafting at the end.
The reagents for the item is 10 Piles of Coarse Sand, 10 Piles of Vile Essence, 1 Thermocatalytic Reagent and 1 Mithril Ingot. Making the cost of one craft around 20 silver as the reagents piles are less than silver each from the Trading Post.
The other Jars with this collection are just as viable, most being in the same and maybe a bit higher in the price range depending on supply.
To unlock the recipe first you'll need to have a character at lvl 80 and unlock the Revered Antiquarian mastery from the Legendary Crafting. Then buy the Frostfang vol 1 from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs in Lion's Arch for 5g and 10k Karma.

Elementalist Attunement App for Razer Chroma
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 01:26 PM PST
Hi,
I'm Cord, an elementalist main and programmer. Currently I'm building an app for my keyboard and mouse to switch colors for attunements and overloads. I just finished a first version. The app doesn't interact with Guild Wars 2(besides checking if a process Gw2.exe/Gw2-64.exe is running), so it most certainly doesn't violate the TOS. It works by listening for keyboard input and switching when pressing F1-F4.
Current Features:
Planned Features:
Beta Downloads:
ChromaEle x64
ChromaEle x86
Source Code and new Releases
If you have any questions, ask me on reddit or write me ingame: thecord.5873
edit: new planned feature

The Shatterer needs (another) rework
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 08:48 PM PST
Remember how hyped everyone was for the Shatterer revamp a few months back? Well it feels like the boss is mostly forgotten now even though its mechanics were interesting at a glance. So what went wrong with it?
I am mostly asking that Anet tweak the numbers a little to make the fight more interesting because as it stands now, I find even the Claw of Jormag more threatening with the icy grave to prevent standing at the sides and the ice shards actually deadly as it actually hits players.
submitted by /u/piInverse The mechanics are mostly inconsequential
The problem with the revamp Shatterer is that most of its mechanics simply don't matter when you can just spam one at its foot like before, maybe dodging once in a awhile.The breakbar
The breakbar phrase requires some effort from the player to be successful, but ultimately it doesn't reward or punish much. If the bar is broken, you get a rather short burning phrase that sometimes doesn't even compensate the lost dps by standing at the launch pads. If the bar isn't broken, it will cast shard storm, which is probably one of the most underwhelming attacks for not breaking the bar. I am comparing this to things like the Mouth of Mordremoth where he would break the whole platform, or the Wyvern fight in Verdant Brink who will probably kill a few players with his fire breath. I don't remember anyone dying to Shatterer's shard storm attack probably because he is aiming it in front while everyone just stands at the side to attack, which leads to my next point.The attacks are not aimed at where most players stand
The main reason why Anet reworked the Shatterer is because you could stand at a certain spot and hold one and grab a drink and the Shatterer would probably damage you much, if at all. They even added an achievement for standing in the old spot and dying when the Shatterer crashes. Well, the new Shatterer isn't much of a step up that aspect. Most of his attacks are directed in front and on him, so you can still get away with holding one slightly to the right. (Illustrated with my shitty paint skills) So you might be thinking, if everyone held down one, won't the shatterer be able to regenerate? Well that is what we will be talking about next.The crystals despawn
During the crystal phrase where the Shatterer heals, I think it is pretty good except for the fact that the crystals despawn on their own if they are not destroyed in a certain timing. It really makes the boss fight rather easy because most groups are able to destroy at least 3 to 4 crystals even without coordination while the last one can be safely ignored as the amount it heals isn't too big of an issue as it will just despawn. Well it sounds like I like pointless difficulty, but I find that if Shatterer had better rewards, the players will eventually find it pugable and more enjoyable with added difficulty similar to the Tequatl fight.I am mostly asking that Anet tweak the numbers a little to make the fight more interesting because as it stands now, I find even the Claw of Jormag more threatening with the icy grave to prevent standing at the sides and the ice shards actually deadly as it actually hits players.

How to Melee: Siax (Challenge Mote, with webms)
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 06:54 AM PST
I try to do Nightmare CM every day and a trend I've noticed is that people tend to just freak out on a lot of attacks; they dodge out or eat hits they don't have to and generally play inefficiently. I recorded some of what I did in a recent run - hopefully it'll be helpful. I'd have annotated them with text but I use WebM for Retards because I Am A Retard & couldn't get subtitles to work.
Usually I'll be DD for the entire fractal. It has great damage, great breakbar, boonstrip if needed, and will basically never die, but none of its tricks are necessary to survive in melee range on any of the bosses. You absolutely want fractal pots no matter your class, though.
RING ATTACK
This attack spawns concentric circles/rings, starting from the centre and growing outwards, in two waves. The waves are static; when reaching max range on the first wave, the rings reset and spawn in different positions for the second wave, eventually covering everything in their radius.
You can stay in melee range for the duration of the first wave. When the second wave spawns, back up towards the first ring, which spawns behind you. Dodge back when the orange shows up under your feet; you'll clear the outermost circle with no issue. If you have a gap closer you can go back in once there's only the 2 outer rings left, just mind the ooze that lingers in the middle.
MAMA uses the same pattern (I didn't get to record her today, else this post would be larger), but you might have to contend with Watchknights at the same time.
BREAKBAR
The safest/smartest position for this is inside the boss; this will let you avoid most of the pattern. If your allies all want to use the same spot, you can fit yourself into the little wedges between circles to avoid the damage and social awkwardness.
If you play DD, it helps to know that he'll always start the fight with this attack, and it shares a cooldown with your Basilisk Venom (assuming no alacrity), so you can ping the skill to alert your allies.
HALLUCINATIONS
Dodge, block, invuln, evade, etc. when the circle fills up and you'll avoid spawning the Hallucination add. Unfortunately, it'll count downed players and spawn for them. If there's a lot of puke cones/ring attacks/goop around I tend to just dodge out immediately to play it safe. Don't mess this up; the Hallucinations hit like trucks and leave AoEs around.

I am very anxious when walking the streets of Divinity's Reach these days
Posted: 20 Dec 2016 07:30 PM PST
Due to the ongoing holiday I have spend a lot of time walking the streets of DR, gifting orphans. For some reason, I noticed a lot of 'Alleyway Lurker' NPCs, most are standing in one spot, giving a single line of dialog and there are some walking around that you cannot interact with (aside from a "Welcome" they utter you). Were they always here and in such great numbers?
We are all aware of the White Mantle and their plans to overthrow the Krytan monarchy, but is this a small nudge from the devs that there is something brewing the the alleyways of DR? I must say, I am kinda spooked... or maybe I am just paranoid for no reason...
Here are some pics I took, not all but some of the "new" NPCs.
