Guild Wars 2 - TIL that kicking someone during a raid boss results in boss reset.


TIL that kicking someone during a raid boss results in boss reset.

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 03:31 AM PST

Just like the title states, this hapened to me, and I'm glad it happens that way.

This morning I joined a PUG group to do Samarog (W4B3). Everything was ok at first, we even joined a Teamspeak channel on GW2 community by some player's petition.

Then we did some attempts. It happened that the guy who told us to join TS (a warrior PS) died getting impaled for not dodging samarog's stomp attack nearly at the begining of the encounter.

The guy died early, although he continued to give some directions on TS. And so the encounter went on with minor issues. Someone else died at 28 % or so but anyway Samarog was going to die and timer had still 1 minute left or so.

Then it happened. Samarog was 1%, 8 man fully dpsing him and Comm kicked the dead PS resulting in Samarog vanishing and getting reseted, preventing everyone from getting the kill and the reward.

Though the group would perfectly capable of beating the boss again with minor issues, I decided to leave the squad since i didn't feel confortable at all with that comm. Who knows... maybe it could happen to me on next try.

Personally, I'm glad it happened that way, I just can't stand toxicity of any kind. Don't get me wrong, i'm not fond of people getting carried for free but kicking people just to no let them claim a reward is just plain toxic and unnecesary grief that you should keep to yourself.

Could we have an update that merges all the LWS3 map portal scrolls into one portal scroll?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 12:28 PM PST

Having a scroll for every living world season 3 map (bloodstone fen, ember bay, bitterfrost frontier, and now lake doric) takes up lots of inventory space :(

It would be nice if we could just have one scroll that lets us select the map we want to teleport to.

PSA: GW2 API is back online

As title says, the API seems to be back online

Dear ArenaNet, I'd like to buy all the gems. Outfits aren't cutting it, though. How about more QoL account unlocks?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 01:50 AM PST

Edit

Hola, that's blowing up. A small sidenote for easier understanding: all the stuff would get implemented as a free feature with the option of buying more of it for gems, just like every other part of the game. No gemstore exclusives.
Examples:
two crafting licenses come for free with the game, you can buy X additional licenses for a total of Y licenses.
Three armour-/build swapping slots come for free with the game, you can buy seven additional slots.
Everyone gets one emote pack, one voice pack for free and can buy two more.
Kind of like bank slots or bag slots. Whatever the numbers. You get the picture.

\Edit

  • shared gathering tool slots
  • gathering tool skins
  • more guild slots
  • more guild HALL slots
  • implement account-bound crafting -> sell additional crafting licenses
  • all the voice packs (not the different actor kind, the different lines kind)
  • lore-based subcontent outside of the Living World/Expansion cycle with some scholar explaining Tyria. (Yes, I'd pay to be able to walk with Trahearne through the Mists listening to him explaining the world to me. Don't judge me.)
  • emote packs
  • implement aura slots -> sell additional slots -> sell shared slots
  • animation packs for: running, fighting, idling, gliding, swimming, downed state, finishing someone, etc
  • town clothes! (j/k, RIP)
  • implement armour set swapping -> sell additional armour set swapping slots
  • implement build swapping -> sell additional build swapping slots
  • more bag slots
  • more bank slots
  • implement all the UI slots (tonics, toys, instruments, repair canisters, black lion merchants, etc) -> sell additional slots, all the slots, forever slots
  • wardrobe templates (if you really want us to burn through those transmutation charges)
  • ...a permanent transmutation charge!

Current major problems engineer currently has with gear/traits/weapons/meta that I hope one day get addressed/fixed.

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 01:30 PM PST

PVE

  1. No unique buffs such as banners/spotter/spirits. (Only class that doesn't have one, even necromancer has a unique buff for what its worth) EDIT: Also thiefs (unless you count venoms)

  2. Most complicated dps rotation and not top dps for its class. Condi ranger has a much simpler rotation and does more dps then engineer.

  3. Shield is totally worthless cause the cd's for its skills are way to high. If you are considering taken shield, just take hammer instead. Hammer has the same defensive skills as shields but lower cd's on them and better utility.

  4. Switch pistol 4 with pistol 3, making main hand pistol completely dps oriented while allowing the offhand the role of offensive support (bouncing blind and confusion and unblockable root/cripple) and defensive support (reflect, knock back/blast finisher and block/melee stun/daze/projectile finisher).

  5. Scrapper is mostly useless (outside a few fringe cases) and is a pvp spec. Look at all the scrapper traits, they are all mostly designed for fighting other players.

One buff would be making the trait applied force (numbers would need adjusting (3 secs of quickness every 10 secs isn't enough)) apply quickness up to 5 players instead of just the engineer, combing this (if the leaks are true) with a rev (which may give out alacrity from leaks) allows a rev and engineer to give these buffs to one subgroup and allows one Mesmer for the other subgroup, getting rid of the need for double Mesmer.

5.5 Function gyro has no place really in PVE other then rewarding the engineer for other players failure in their ability to avoid simple mechanics.

Allowing function gyro another function of say, increasing the damage done to a target by %5 for 5 secs gives the engineer (scrapper) way more utility and choices (Example: do I use my gyro to increase dps for this burn phase or do I say it in case a party member goes down?)

SPVP/WvW

  1. Base enginer has no access to stability. Base engineer has very little access to stability. This means the base engineer cant go anywhere near any enemy player cause he will just get chain cc'd and be dead.

  2. All of base engineer dps is projectiles. This means any reflects or projectile destruction complete takes base engineer out of the fight. The few melee options base engineer has he cant use (bomb kit, tool kit) cause no stability.

  3. Scrapper was super OP when it first came out and the first couple of nerfs to the spec was needed but scrapper has been nerfed every balance patch since release and its now a shell of its former self. A little love would be nice.

Elixirs

Elixirs are almost in a good spot, just get rid of the damn RNG component on them. Elixir H, Elixir U, and Elixir X, along with toss Elixir H, U B all have RNG components to them, completing hurting the use and effectiveness since you are subject to RNG.

Why does one of engineer elite skills have RNG in it, its complete BS. Would warriors like if banner had a 50% chance to maybe res allies or necros has a 50% chance of reaper form or plaque form? The answer is hell no, so why do we have to suffer the same thing?

Gadgets

Gadgets are another skill set thats just need a few small buffs to make them worthwhile.

Rocket boots for example: Why is there no evade frames/stunbreaker on this skill, when other classes get better versions for less (mesmer 1200 blink stun-breaker, elementalist 900 blink (can be used while stun) or warrior greatsword 3 has evade frames)

Small simple buffs like this makes this skills useful and be used

Turrets

Major rework needed

Kits

Medkit - need I say more

What lessons would you like the devs to learn from HoT

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 04:15 PM PST

So HoT was the first expansion and it received a pretty mixed reception. It has been over a year and the dust has now settled.

What could the devs do better with the next expansion?

Low-effort/Memes/Shitposts

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 06:10 AM PST

Hi all,

Following this post about low effort posts being removed the mod team have had a discussion about these low effort/meme like posts. It has been decided that they will be allowed to stay for the time being, if we decide that they are filling up the subreddit we will change our stance and will be more strict/remove them outright.

Whilst we can't have a defined rule about what is a low-effort and what isn't, (we have differing opinions on this matter) we'll be more lenient on what is allowed.

Meme posts are still banned, meme is being defined as being an image macro style post.

That being said, if you are silly enough to spend hours creating a portrait of Trahearne a cabbage with googly eyes thinking it looks remarkably like Trahearne it'll probably be removed.

Thanks!


Whilst I'm here I'd like to state that having a lot of upvotes doesn't allow a post to break the rules.

If you would like to filter this content then I would suggest using one of the [Fluff] filters.

Let's all wildly speculate about the balance patch tomorrow

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 09:20 AM PST

I was surprised to not see a post on this already, but it seems like it could be fun.

Personally, I hoping (likely foolishly) for a major overhaul of the Reveant class. I'm recently returning from a break, and last I remember PvE Rev was spamming 1, while condi was non-existant, and Jalis was pretty underwhelming.

What do you hope to see change tomorrow?

With one old hidden gem now used, are there plans for others? [spoiler]

Now that the room underneath CM is in use, do you think there are any plans for Cerebro and the rest of the jumping puzzle under Caledon?

With the new evtc log visualization tools you can create raid videos with animated DPS graphs. Partially explained in comments.

Tour of HoT for my Down Under Brothers & Sisters:

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 10:33 AM PST

After some feed back I'm doing a One Time Tour of HoT for the Australian/East Asian time zones. We'll start at 2am Server Time/8pm CST US (my time), which I believe spans 11am to 1pm in Australia (correct me if I'm wrong) Saturday 25 February (Friday my time).

A month's worth of Solo struggle in a day, granted a full day, with helpful commander and Moria our resident Mesmer said he'd be up for it.

Here's what's coming (except start time) https://www.tylers.design/game-tour/

Please invite your friends and guildies, and put out the word. It would suck to stay up all night and have no one show up ;)

Let me know if there's any questions!

Trix.

Hey guys, I wanted to share my latest fashion/screenshot efforts with you! Since I am completely in love with the story that is evolving in fractals right now, I gave my shot at one of Dessa´s krew members; if the engineer really gets buffed tomorrow this little rat will surely get to explore raids as well :) http://imgur.com/a/2NHii

HOPE and QUIP fully unloaded PSA

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 05:44 AM PST

Finally finished HOPE yesterday and was really excited to pair it up with QUIP on my thief. I'm one of those obnoxious players that likes to spam unload with dual quips. I was really looking forward to having a HOPE/QUIP symphony to perform for/on people. To my dismay, I discovered that unload only uses the sound effect of the weapon in the dominant hand. I probably could have done more research beforehand, but I really didn't see anything that would say otherwise. So I'm putting this out there now (even though we're 1.5 years out of HOT), in case anybody is thinking about making both pistols for this purpose. You get the purple glow around your body from quip, the footfalls from hope, and the arm effect from hope. Skills 4 and 5 use the quip sounds, but 1,2, and all shots from 3 are Hope's.

Can the decoration tokens from raids be updated to function like the fractal ones?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 01:18 AM PST

Now that we have 12 types of tokens it's getting really old depositing them at the vendor after the weekly clear.

If they can't be changed to a double-click-to-deposit, at the very least the confirmation box should be removed.

Deposit -> "are you sure?" -> yes -> repeat 35 more times

QoL suggestion: Let us sell/salvage Experience scrolls for Tomes of knowledge

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 07:11 PM PST

There are a lot of players that already have all of their characters above level 20 and every year on their characters birthday they get greeted by an absolutely useless item for them. I understand that Experience scrolls are a great item for people that want to key farm, or just create new characters all the time, but for a sizeable portion of the community they just sit in the bank, collecting dust.
Giving those players the opportunity to sell or salvage them for Tomes of knowledge's would add value to them and given how ridiculously easy it is these days to get Tomes, it wouldn't really create a lot of problems.

I'm interested in reading the communities thoughts on this idea, or maybe get some different ideas on how to make these items have more value to a large portion of the playerbase.

What would you like the next Legendary Focus to be like?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 01:22 PM PST

There is a lot of variety in the types of foci in the game right now. Books, scrolls, voo-doo type dolls, chains, etc. I would lean towards The Minstrel being on the light-hearted side rather than the more serious side. So the next one would be a little more serious. I think a cool idea would be a crystal ball of sorts. Maybe it spins around your character showing a reflection, and is origination for the attacks. Maybe it stays in one place, reflecting the last enemy you killed or a version of reality from The Mists. Thoughts?

Is Magic-Imbued Peach Core some special item?

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 07:04 AM PST

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magic-Imbued_Peach_Core

It is a part of "Cin Business" collection. Any other item from this collection can be acquired only once, but I am getting this core every time I am eating peach for a daily. Maybe it is needed also for something else?

Please ANet, use "This item only has value as a part of collection." more often as no using it makes me confused... :/

Also: Why are items from "Cin Business" collection not sellable? Sigh.

New Ranger Gearing Please Help!

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 05:20 PM PST

Hello!

I returned to GW2 after few years of break, I used the Level 80 boost on my Ranger and had a few questions about gearing! I currently have ~200g that I can use for gearing my character! I am following a Condi ranger build!

  1. Armor: Exotic Viper's! I believe that I will need to farm for the Auric Basin to get the Insignia, currently using Rabid. This will also require Leather 400?

  2. Weapon: I believe I should craft Exotic Viper's Short Bow/Axe/Torch which requires Hunters 400 and Blacksmith 400.

  3. Trinkets: Is it worth it to craft Exotic Vipers Trinkets + Rampager's Back or skip and go for Ascended? The Trinkets provided by Laurel does not seem to be good for Condi Ranger.

  4. Jewels: What is the best Jewel for Condi Ranger? I realized that this only applies to Exotic? Based on my research Exquisite Black Diamond seems to be the best?

  5. Rune/Sigil: After reading many guides I think Krait -> Nightmare/Trapper is the best and Sigil I will be using Geomancy/Earth.

  6. Crafting: Is there a point to level Crafting to 500? Is it only used for Ascended Armor/Weapon? Can I craft Ascended Trinkets/Back?

I am currently following the guides at: http://gw2crafts.net/total.html Thank you so much for your time and help!!!

Edit: Boosted Ranger not Leveled :(

Edit2: Just want to say thank you so much to everything for your help!!!

Constant server disconnects, definitely not on my end.

Posted: 21 Feb 2017 05:40 AM PST

Here is the screenshot of the code: http://puu.sh/udaKJ/01f41e0cad.jpg

I get disconnected every 30 seconds and lag hard randomly.

EDIT: http://puu.sh/udaRz/ce43c845af.jpg Now I get this for no reason and I've never had this problem before.

EDIT: This shit only happens in The Mists, nowhere else in the game is this a problem.
