Enough is enough! Living Story 3 Map CURRENCIES need to go in the WALLET!

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 12:46 AM PST

Yes, I know versions of this have been discussed since Heart of Thorns, but at least the "tokens" on the original maps were clearly "keys" and needing to store them in character inventories/bank was consistent, if a pain!

But the LS3 tokens are exchanged..... by merchants......in varying quantities.......for goods.....,,based on their value. I.e. They are currencies, no different than a dungeon token.

Yes, they are salvageable, so just have the merchant sell "bundles of entangled magic" (with RNG if you wish). Yes their method of acquisition is different, but that is already true for Unbound Magic, which is in the wallet.

Apart from the space taken, collecting these together across characters is a funless grind. For a while after HoT it was manageable with Shared Inventory Slots but now, with 4 HoT keys and 4 LS3 tokens and every prospect of more it has got ridiculous!

Please Anet fix ASAP :).

Chamber of the Guilty (Lore and Short Guide)

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 02:52 PM PST

The Chamber of the Guilty is a location in the new raid wing, Bastion of the Penitent. Within, you hear some of Saul's thoughts and memories.

Since it hasn't been posted already, I imagine most people enter this room, hear the mess of voices of Saul and people Saul knew, and believe that is it. There are actually full stories, however, that you don't need to simply pick out.

If you go to any of the four corners of the area, you will hear one specific conversation.

NW: Saul is gambling with someone. Saul gets a win with an enormous bet. Saul then proceeds to lose the next several gambles (sounds like they're playing dice) and begin begging for "just one more go." Saul doesn't have enough, so his opponent threatens "For every day you're late I'll break one of your fingers, and when you don't have any fingers left I'll break your neck."

NE: Hard to tell, but it would seem this depicts Saul robbing several different people for money. He justifies this with the threat of death from his opponent.

SE: Saul is drinking, hitting on the bartender, etc. It's implied that he hasn't payed for his drinks, and the conversation ends with him passed out drunk.

SW: This is Saul talking to himself, and it's the most recent conversation. He talks about how the Mursaat betrayed him, he was unaware of their true intentions, and he regrets his mistake. He says that he must escape and warn Hablion (GW1 Character, ghost in GW2) that they need to fight against the Mursaat, as they cannot be trusted.

Shouldn't the PvP Reward tracks consist of 3 armor pieces and 1 weapon instead of 3 weapons and 1 armor piece?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 11:56 AM PST

Considering that the weapons are a lot more expensive, and also that this would reduce the amount of clears of a pvp track from 6 to 2 for a complete set of equipment, wouldn't this make more sense?

forgive me if i am naive, but this immediately caught my eye as unfitting

Compilation of Lake Doric maps and resources: Optimized map completion, collection achievements, Jade Shard nodes, leather farm, and dynamic events

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 11:13 AM PST

Lake Doric for me is a much welcomed return to the lush green countryside of the Kryta region, and disregarding the bloodstone-crazed centaurs, it's the friendliest of the LS3 maps. I recommend you explore everything yourself first, and if you find it hard to explore some things, here are maps to help. Preview screenshot.

 

Jade Shards

Link - There are around 16 fragments of Jade Shard nodes which you can harvest to buy new minis and weapon skins. Unlike Winterberries, Jade Fragment nodes spawn randomly in the marked areas, rather than fixed spawn points. Jade Shard drop rate note.

 

Harathi Strongboxes (Leather Farm)

Link - On the northeast area are lootable chests and centaurs mobs you can kill for salvageable hides. Credit and Static Map: [FARM]

 

Cin Business Achievement

Link - Collect and loot 18 different items to get a Bloodstone/Empyreal converter item. Hover over the map circles for screenshot and tips on that collectible. White Mantle Rations are looted automatically so is not on the map. Credit and Static Map: dulfy

 

Letters from E Achievement

Link - Earn 5 AP by reading these 7 letters.

 

Lake Doric Events

Link - This map shows all the events that can happen in Lake Doric, and some collections require succeeding them. The events are timed depending on the map instance, so you can use the LFG to hop events. To turn off event icons on the site, use this link. Here's also a static map image by sb22284.

 

Lake Doric Map Completion

Link - Lake Doric is likely the fastest Kryta region map that can reward a Black Lion Key. Right click on the zone on the web map then: Map -> Draw Completion Route to see a trace of every map locations to complete. Another way to reach the Peach Tree area is from the centaur camp; behind their huts are some ruined stone blocks that you can climb.

 

Lake Doric Mastery Insights

Link - Follow the map completion route to reach two of the mastery insights. For the others "Lakeside Bazaar" use updrafts, and for "Melandru's Refuge" simply jump on the crack right on its ledge.

 

Inventory Cleanup Tool

Link - Your bags may fill up quickly with collection and miscellaneous items, use this API-key tool to sort out junkable items, and this Virtual Keychain for items you want to keep like keys and currencies.

 

All of these nodes and routes can be viewed in game using the GPS overlay app.

Condi Revenant Benchmark + Rotation

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 02:46 PM PST

Video: https://youtu.be/xfBAxMH45pg

Build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNApXmnfN2gSuJvQRHlboskyPU4S5IKor8ElFNFqdBBoBpd4DlwegJshA-TBSFQBETJS/U/pXPBg2pPAAnCgGq8SkKB7w+DkCYRlVA-e

Written Rotation: http://pastebin.com/mxQX3zPG

Unrealistic: 23,529

Realistic: 21,423


So some background to this build. Condi revenant was my first bad pve build. The goal was to make a condi build that brought more to the table than reaper for the current pve meta. The result was pretty underwhelming, but nonetheless I geared it for fractals and have been using it as my goto T4 character for quite a few months now. With the new wing released, my static ended up using this build for might/fury stacking on the first boss with everyone spread out. It got me curious what the optimal rotation for the build was and so I spent some time in the testing center to work on an official benchmark for this bad build. Let me know what you guys think! I'll add an FAQ to the bottom of this post if I need to later.

Why was the Magnetite Shard cap not raised?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 11:14 AM PST

This was also an issue on W3 release but was later bumped from 100 to 150 so that doing every event/boss would give enough shards to reach the cap. Now with the fourth wing also giving out magnetite shards for some reason, anyone that's already done the first 3 wings gets nearly nothing in rewards.

[Spoilers] Theory for the portrait on the bedroom.

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 03:04 AM PST

[Spoilers] last chapter. So uhm, yea, we saw that. Was quite funny for sure, but then it struck me, and there were a lot of pieces coming together.

We can pretty much assume, based on Caudecus' past, that the main reason for his whole actions was revenge against the Charr for Ascalon. Aside everything that came after, everything that might have corrupted his first true reasons, his motives originated in getting Ascalon back.

The mention of his veteran soldiers being with him in the carnival, the reason why the charr want him gone and dispatch a legion and of course the portrait. For my understanding Caudecus believes that Logan is the true heir to Ascalon, he has his picture as for him, he is his King.

This is a view that enhances the whole concept of fighting the ghosts of Ascalon and fulfilling the prophecy, as the part where Eir intended to give Magdaer to Logan.

Please spare a thought for the Pale Tree - Still in a coma and no sign of recovery.

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 12:59 AM PST

Baffled and depressed that this still hasn't been resolved or even touched upon for so long. Currently placing bets that it wont even be mentioned or touched on in the expac either.

If it was Queen Jennah, I`m sure she would be getting some top class medical care and people would be going on quests across the kingdom to find a cure. Just sayin.

Why is there no Legendary Weapons Showcase videos on the GW2's Official YouTube?

Posted: 11 Feb 2017 07:26 AM PST

Have I just missed it? I tried to search their channel and found 1 video for 3 years ago.

Honestly Anet approach confuses. They do not showcase gem store items well, (OMG give zoom and a good looking preview tab!!) nor do they shout about the new skins and or weapon they create. I for one love new shinnies and want them to shout about it from the roof tops, or at least maybe just make some promo vids?
