Save my sanity. Please ANet, refactor your loot/items. Posted: 15 Feb 2017 10:35 AM PST Please, for the love of all that is holy and good in the world. Please Anet. I can't take much more of the inventory management/"do I need this/will I need this", bags within bags within bags, loot that is essentially a click machine for mats, currencies that kinda sort of aren't so are not part of the wallet, sigils, runes and more sigils that are useless etc. etc. etc. This is not fun. I spend so much time cleaning out my bags and trying to remember what all these damn items are for that it's taking away from the actual fun part. Yes I have the gem store salvage item, yes I know you can salvage all, yes I've bought inv/bank expansions. But it doens't matter. There is too much damn items in the game. My brain hurts. And it just keeps getting worse. Please please clean up this stuff. Spend some time refactoring this system. It's bordering on ridiculous. Save my sanity! /rant off [link] [comments] | ||
Gave my wife something I waited 3,770 hours to get. Posted: 15 Feb 2017 12:24 PM PST Yesterday I was doing a hero point in Tangled Depths (that I didn't even need) when one of the vets dropped Dawn. I couldn't believe what just happened. I've been working on Astralaria after finishing Twilight so to see this drop was insane. My wife doesn't have the time to play like I do and she has been plucking away at making a legendary, but has been discouraged lately. So instead of making Eternity, I mailed it to her with a sweet message about how I had mentioned helping her make her legendary and that we could pair up with Twilight and Sunrise. I think it was the, "I've waited 3,770 hours for this drop, but I've waited my whole life for you", part that made her cry. I could not believe my luck or the timing. I decided to post here knowing that you would appreciate the nerdiness of it all way more than my parents who thought it was kinda lame. [link] [comments] | ||

There Needs to Be More of This in Story Missions. Posted: 15 Feb 2017 01:33 PM PST | ||
literally unreadable: the sequel Posted: 15 Feb 2017 10:39 AM PST after /u/GaileGray ensured that the inaccurate reference to every keyfarmer's beloved big-beaked bandit would be properly handled, i took it upon myself to verify anet's handiwork after the latest patch. rather than simply revise a single word to rectify the problem, however, they have chosen to completely eliminate the contents of the message. now, far be it from flame legion to give a skritt's tail whether irrelevant humans are expunged from the annals of krytan history; if anything, flame legion is well acquainted with the sheer extent to which these disingenuous revisionists will portray themselves sympathetically while maliciously vilifying the supreme race and greatest legion. predictable as these negligent mice are, it is nonetheless lamentable that what was a simple error has been exacerbated to what you see now. given these dreadfully shameful blunders, flame legion begrudgingly offers its exemplary writing services to anet to prevent any further foolishness. send word by griffon to the nearest castrum if interested in seizing this fortuitous opportunity.

Before you get Minstrel's gear for chrono... Posted: 15 Feb 2017 05:54 AM PST Before everyone goes gung ho about getting minstrel's chrono gear following /u/MightyTeapot's recent video guide which was very well composed, there needs to be information to argue against it especially since we're on the edge of a new raid meta (at least for organised groups) in the first place. (And so the price of pearls doesn't go through the roof with people trying to craft Minstrel's gear) ITT: I attempt to explain how the stacking mechanics work with Regen. There IS a TL;DR at the bottom. There is a new Regen Druid build that uses X/Warhorn with a Sigil of Concentration in the Warhorn to provide ridiculous amounts of boons for long durations and you don't want to compete with a druid's level of healing power as a Chrono. I am going to attempt to explain it (dear lord help me with formatting...)
Call of the Wild (CotW): 10s regen base, 16.8s after above boon durations CotW CD: 30s base, 24s traited, 18s traited+alacratized As per stacking mechanics, the highest intensity Regen is placed in priority (aka the druid) and will be used first (as noted by Stack 1-5 in priority). Current raid meta (staff druid) regeneration would look something like this assuming 100% boon duration on Chrono and assuming a Chrono applies 2-3 stacks depending on if they are Continuum Splitting or not during that particular rotation.
With new Druid Quick Drawn Call of the Wild regen, the stack would look something like this by the time the second CotW alacritized occurs.
Now the chrono has another 22.5 seconds before the next set of Regen can be applied that would be long enough to overwrite any of the stacks (18 if Domination build). This means Stack 1 would continue to be used until II phantasm regen is applied. This could mean that it gets overwritten immediately at 6s or linger for another 3 depending on the timing of when the phantasm application occurs. In worst case scenario, it will overwrite at 6s meaning you'll have gotten 10.8s worth of Druid regen used and the resulting stack will look like this on application.
This would in theory repeat itself for the now new stack 1 until it would look like this; however once again you're using 10.8s worth of Druid regeneration
You will have used 10.8+10.8s worth of druid regeneration which = 21.6s. Notice now that CotW CD with traited and alacratized the CD is 18s. That means that before you even use all the regen, you would interrupt between B and C which would give you D.
Now in Illusions, that means there's another 4.5 seconds before SoI and/or II procs come off CD and overwrite Stack 1 in which case when it does, you'll get
In scenarios A through E, Druid regen is still primary stack being used. E after 6 seconds becomes A and the process repeats. Once again I emphasize that this is with a 100% boon duration chrono (aka a minstrel's chrono) (100% boon duration is additionally not 100% necessary; 83% boon duration assuming perfect exectuion will still get you permanent quickness/alacrity so anything above that does give you some play room for missing rotations or speed or interrupts) So the aforementioned 21.6s of Druid regen being used can infact have even greater time because the Chrono's regen values won't be 10 and 6, they'll be something lower.
TL;DR: Magi's Warhorn Druid obsoletes Minstrel's Chrono if running a Magi's Warhorn Druid; Condi PS's are regaining some damage because they're not forced to use boon duration/might on crit food. Chronos should be running Berserker or Commander's (if required tanking) combinations. The build relies on Quickdrawing Call of the Wild with Alacrity to fit it within Sigil of Concentration's buff window. Build in action can be seen courtesy of /u/Enko63 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC82oQR0Sj-4a8umY9QZtng [link] [comments] | ||
Warmaster/lightbringer/magisters backs seriously need to be reworked. Posted: 15 Feb 2017 03:46 PM PST This has probably been said before, but for 105g, not being able to select stats like assassins is silly at this point. On top of that the reward for doing all 3 is pitiful at best, while this isn't the first achieve that hurts, it really is an obvious one. Its HoT exclusive so its not like there should be an issue with even giving it some more of the most basic stats. You only need so many berserk pieces. Thoughts? edit: at least let us salvage/mf/resell the costs, it just clutter the inv and is a pain to get rid of [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 15 Feb 2017 12:54 PM PST After opening a few thousand champ bags on a mid level character and salvaging all the stuff, over time FPS drops like a rock. Just would be nice to have a way to even temporarily disable the loot notifications on the right from scrolling, or even showing up. [link] [comments] | ||
Theory on "E" (Read all) SPOILERS!! Posted: 15 Feb 2017 12:49 PM PST Hello everyone I've been thinking a lot about the identity of "E". Given the notes of "E" in the new patch we could deduce that he is a person with influence in Kryta even among the seraphim, to whom they have to spy on Logan. I've been thinking of a specific person "Lord Faren". Think of the following, there are few influential characters in Kryta who start their name for "E", who appreciates Lady Kassmer so much, Loyal to the crown so much to risk saving the queen in previous patches against scarlet, that tubiese information about The top vines dry the seraphs he has on his side could have helped, also if you look at the last patch is near a woman who later in the assault to the mansion caudecus is seen that is the white mantle. And they will tell me, the first thing Lord Faren is a fool and little thing and second his name does not start with "E", but now I will tell you first of all put the first "F" of faren on the "L" of lord and they will have As a result an "E". Possibly not this theory but why but give so much play a character? By Namp [link] [comments] | ||
[Spoilers] Things we learnt in 'Head of the Snake' Posted: 15 Feb 2017 02:34 AM PST
edit 13. Aidan (Ranger from GW1) has a descendant in Lake Doric! So guys, any speculation on what will happen next? where will we go? what are we going to do? Thanks for reading by the way. Feel free to correct me/discuss anything I've mentioned. Thanks :) [link] [comments] | ||
So due to the new raids/LS I've been playing through gw1 prophecies. Posted: 15 Feb 2017 03:53 PM PST And from the bottom of my heart, the very dark depths of it. Fuck the grawl trash mobs, allright. Maybe some other creature will face my ire later on but, man, grawl. They're everywhere! Even the devourers are less annoying. Also I'd like to thank that_shaman for this amazing map that helps me roughly coorelate the areas in im with gw2 versions http://guide.thatshaman.com/ [link] [comments] | ||
GW2ACT, an arcdps log parser plugin for Advanced Combat Tracker Posted: 15 Feb 2017 07:54 AM PST Hello! I've been using arcdps since it became legal and Advanced Combat Tracker is my all-time favourite DPS parser and log analyzer, so I decided to make an .evtc log parser plugin. You can download the latest version here: GW2ACT v0.1.2 Disclaimer: This is a "Proof of Concept" plugin, may break in ways you can't even imagine, so use at your own risk! That said, it most likely won't set your PC on fire or anything like that. I'm actively working on both features, fixes and making the code cleaner and less error-prone, so please be patient. Technically it's closed source (mostly because I simply don't feel like properly publishing the source code), but I make no attempt to obfuscate or make it difficult to decompile so feel free to decompile and look into it if you don't trust me. It has no network code, but ACT does (for example the auto-updater). Installation:
Now ACT is ready to parse your arcdps .evtc log files. Usage:
Misc. information:
Planned features:
Important: Please send error reports to me, with the problematic log file and possibly the stack trace from your Advanced Combat Tracker.log (this is not strictly neccessary if I can reproduce the error). Version History: 0.1.2: First public version - Theoretically it can parse most of the arcdps log files out there (except maybe very old ones) - Tested with arcdps feb.15.2017 and some earlier versions [link] [comments] | ||
I know anet doesnt want to do anymore underwater combat, but can we have more info on largos? Posted: 15 Feb 2017 05:38 PM PST As the title says. For those who arnt aware these guys are hunters from the unending ocean. Like quaggans they were pushed out by horrors from the deep sea dragon, but unlike quagans these guys are know for martial prowess and bassically being a race of assassins. I just want to learn more about them. [link] [comments] | ||
Question for long time GW2 players Posted: 15 Feb 2017 08:52 AM PST Hi, Ok so I have never really played GW2, but recently I have noticed lots of hype / talk / etc online. Now the game is like 5 or 6 years old and it seems like there are still a ton of players. So my question is, why? I am a big fan of playing a game, and sticking with it for years and years, so what is it about GW2 that has you long term vets still playing. What makes the end game so enjoyable that you log in day after day instead of looking for something else? Im a big pvp guy .. so im hoping lots of answers swirl around this. I dont think GW2 has open world pvp though which is a bit of a deterant but im curious as to what it does have to hold end game players for years and years. maybe its just a solid title and there is no hook, or special feature to GW2 vs other games .. I dont know. Curious about the game though for sure. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
Does Anet have concept art for the non-humanoid Raid Bosses? Posted: 15 Feb 2017 07:01 PM PST I think it'd be really cool to see, I'm a big fan of the boss design, especially in Bastion of the Penitent and would love to see the concept art associated with them. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 15 Feb 2017 01:23 AM PST Hello Reddit! We are back from a short break and ready to begin again \o/ For those that have never heard of us here is a quick introduction: We have been organising raid groups since August of last year. We usually do 3-5 groups per raid night and we have 3 raid nights per week. Currently the raid times are Tuesday and Thursday 19:00 UK or GMT time and Saturday 18:00 UK time. This post is for the Thursday raid. This week the staffers will be posting as well. I am one of the staffers of Roald. We will start with the easier bosses and work our way up. We are getting between 3 and 5 groups per raid night. Each boss is killed often more or less (Matthias and Xera not as often). Raid will be around two hours in duration not including the time it will take to organise it (Duration can be increased if things are going well or we are very close to getting a boss down). Requirements:
Those that decide to participate, please reply to this thread with your IGN, classes in order of preference and any comment you might have and be online at the start of invite times on the day you chose. Please make sure you meet the requirements above! 30 minutes before raid start we will start inviting people in a 50man raid or if we have more than 50 people (which has happened several times) I will start crying and create the groups beforehand so it helps if you can let us know when you can't make it before the raid starts. Everyone will be split by roles in different groups. The comp used will most likely be 5-5 so for every role (if there are more people than there are spots) a random number generator will be used to select the appropriate number of people. (healer, condi, ps, flat dps etc) We apologise in advance to anyone we will not be able to take, but there are only so many spots. Don't give up! We now have plenty of commanders and there is always more than 1 group. Usually there are 3 groups and at times 4 and even 5 groups at a few times so far. Even though there are several groups, there will almost always be people that are not taken. We apologise in advance if that happens. As stated above we are using RNG to fill up groups if we have more than the required number of a given role (mostly happens with flat dps) If you want to have a higher chance to get orient yourself to the classes that are rarer. If you are the type of person that believes that we owe him something, because you signed up, please don't. Also don't be afraid to approach me or one of my staffers or anyone on our Discord in game no matter if you have raided with us or not. We need a few more commanders exclusively for Tuesday and Thursday.Leave me a private message for more info. Note: Going forward it will not be only myself posting, some of my staffers will be doing that as well. You can read about our plans here: Next phase Some of the raid events will be streamed on https://www.twitch.tv/roaldconduin if anyone is interested. [link] [comments] | ||
Not So Secret JP. Have they changed the "leaping wheels" recently?? Posted: 15 Feb 2017 02:10 PM PST Hey guys. So, working on Dawn atm. One of the things I need is near the top of Not so Secret jp. Been a while since that one, and tbh, was hoping never to have to go there again as long as i live. But anyhow, the leaping wheel thingys, in at least two places has been changed since I went there last, the thing is, I leap over the thing I'm supposed to land on. That or I have been extremely lucky untill now on landing where I want to land. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 15 Feb 2017 12:11 AM PST It's been a while since I've seen one of these, and I always enjoy seeing everyone's ideas, so let's do it. I'll start. Warrior: Monk
Thief: Thug
Necromancer: Sacrificer

Is the GW2 community seriously okay with different map zones being stuck in their own time periods? Posted: 15 Feb 2017 07:58 PM PST Having the different maps stuck in their own time period goes against one of their design philosophies that sucked me into Guild Wars 2 four years ago. An "Evolving" world where our choices matter. Yes I know this is fancy PR speak and that our choices don't really matter, but an evolving world is still nonetheless a great aspect of any game. To see it grow and change over the years as you play it. But saying zones should be stuck in their own time periods to appeal to new people is not only a bad business idea, since new people aren't the people who are investing money into the game, but makes the game stagnant for veterans who have been playing the game for years. Are you going to be okay with the game 10 years down the road 3 - 5 expansion packs later and Kessex still has still not recovered from Scarlet's attack and Orr still looks like a desolate wasteland for the sake of "Personal Story" that can always be instanced? Is it because it'll feel weird for new players? Well I hate to say this, but too bad for them now they have an incentive to actually check up on the game regularly like those who missed out on Living Story Season 1, I was one of these people and I moved on. Story matters, and telling a cohesive story matters, the story is not cohesive when certain zones are stuck in the past. If Jennah's bubble was visible in Queensdale, and you're helping out a newbie and they go "Hey whats that purple dome" you then explain to them what it is, it might even pique their interest, looking into youtube for this story what's it about and even purchase the game. Say what you will about Collin's reign, but he did the world right by evolving existing zones. There should be a mix of these two instead of just constantly pushing out more and more new maps.
