| Making Elemental Sword a RNG drop was a shitty move Posted: 28 Mar 2017 12:07 PM PDT Honestly. Just spent 300g to open 10 chests without getting it. There is a reason I saved up those claim tickets. To be able to get the skins I wanted on release. Praying to RNG gods for drops PLUS making it account bound on drop so you cant sell if you get two, or buy if you are unlucky is just not cool. /rant [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Old Kaiser Snake Weapon Box now has Crimson Assassin Tokens in it Posted: 28 Mar 2017 10:23 AM PDT Something interesting I noticed was that in my bank, my Kaiser Snake Weapon Box) from the Course Load achievement last year (completing 8 dailies) was renamed to "Super Adventure Weapon Box". Upon taking a peek inside, there is a new item listed on the bottom - 8 Crimson Assassin Tokens. Super Adventure Weapon Box Options Not sure how many tokens you need for a weapon (perhaps you get one a day and you need 8? To keep things similar to last year? Or maybe the Course Load achievement will give out this chest, and they didn't feel like adding all the weapons in the chest so they just gave tokens instead to be exchanged. Then again, why would it give 8 instead of 1? Perhaps there are other sources), but if you prefer the red weapons over the orange ones, make sure you don't miss this option! (for those who haven't seen the red weapons, here's a picture of the Crimson Assassin Sword).

| Cairn the Indomitable was also updated today Posted: 28 Mar 2017 12:53 PM PDT Direction of his hand attack is now marked by arrow on the ground (like Sabetha's flamewall). It also seems (require more tests to see if it's true) that this attack is done in more randomized direction than before.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2017 05:19 PM PDT Hey guys. Maybe you remember me from last year, maybe not, doesn't matter. I don't post much here anymore so I feel kind of silly spending all this time writing this, but there are a few things that stick out as important to me that I wanted to share with the community, and mostly, with ArenaNet. I made a post last year praising ArenaNet for bringing back the SAB, which brought me back to the game, and got me to spend a few hundred bucks on HoT and gems and whatnot. Brought back a lot of people actually. It was disappointing to not get World 3 but whatever, at least we had SAB back. I hoped next year we'd get World 3. But over the last week, ANet's repeatedly stated on Facebook that they're not going to work on it anymore, referring to last year's statement where they committed to "fixing WvW". And in today's patch notes, they specifically called out Worlds 1 and 2, but nothing about World 3. Well, 2016's over, and what happened to WvW? Worlds were linked to fix the population problem, Alpine BLs are back along with a single DBL (a great compromise, IMO), scoring was revamped, reward tracks were added... and that was it. They tried to add new stuff but those failed before they even tried testing them out. What happened? But hey, I get it. Plans change. So if they only made ultimately trivial changes to WvW, what did ArenaNet do in 2016, the "Year of WvW"? For one, they figured out how to pump out new Legendaries. And not just one, but multiple, and they show no signs of slowing down. They reworked Living World to make it more interesting and more rewarding. No more instanced story missions that are downright irritating to play through, we have full-on maps with heart quests and meta events and mechanics (oh my!). Even the story itself and the characters in it seem better written now, like there's a clear focus and an end goal we're working towards. They continually tweaked raids to help perfect them, and gave us more raid content, something no one was really expecting until the next full expansion (whenever that is). And most importantly, we got an ArenaNet that listens and responds. Remember WvW deployable cannons and repair hammers? Remember the compromising that finally got the ABL back? Sure, it was frustrating at the time, but looking back, those are really the highlights of the year for me. It's awesome to see ANet taking community feedback so seriously. With that said, I'd like to go back to SAB for a minute, just because it's so important to me. Look, I know it's only a once-a-year thing. I know that it's not great for free money like Lunar New Year or farming like Halloween, but in my opinion, it's by far the most fun. It's what is going to keep me coming back every year to experience the horror of Trib mode all over again. Heck, I even have a group of friends who are signing up specifically to play it with me. So ArenaNet, if you're reading this (and I think you are), I want you to know two things. First, great job on last year, I really do mean it. You did the impossible and made me like Living World content. Hell, I even like Taimi now, and getting me to like an Asura is quite a feat. Figuring out Legendaries was a huge token of goodwill to the community. So the WvW changes ended up being pretty minor, but hey, you listened to your players, and I cannot emphasize how much I respect you for that. Keep up the good work, and I'm sure 2017 will be an even better year. Secondly... I'm extremely disappointed that you're abandoning SAB. I held out hope and now that hope is dashed. I know it's petty and I'm just one person, but I really want to show just how committed I am to this and how much SAB really means to me. If you really have no intention of finishing up the SAB, then I'm sorry to say that I have no intention of financially supporting this game. I love GW2, and I'll probably still play from time to time, but I won't be buying more gems, won't be buying the next expac, and if GW3 ever happens, you can count me out. But if you can promise me that World 3 will be here, if not this year, then by next year at the latest, I will literally drop the money to buy every single piece of SAB-related content you throw up on the gemstore from now on (provided I still have enough to pay rent, of course). Accusations of cash-grabbing be damned, I'm dead serious about this. I will be that guy. ArenaNet, I love you guys. It's been a tough year but you came through as champions. You really did. There were ups and downs and I still see lots of room to grow and improve, but when I look at where you were last year and where you are today, I see upward momentum. Keep it up, keep listening to the community, keep creating good content, and please... please give me SAB World 3.

| Posted: 28 Mar 2017 02:42 PM PDT Unlike most farms, this farm's gold per hour is highly dependent on the capabilities of the players. You are advised to use pre-made groups rather than pugs. The main goal of this method is to finish the fractal on level 40 as fast as possible, loot the last boss chest and repeat. The only other loot you'll be taking is from the Flame Legion mobs spawning inside the fractal. The main reward from this method is gold, but you also get a good amount of karma (if you need that for any reason). We choose level 40, because it is the highest tier of the Molten Duo fractal (the fastest fractal), that is susceptible to burst DPS. We tried many other levels, but 40 seems the best. However if your group is really slow lvl 10 might be better. We prefer 2 Elementalists, 1 Zerk Druid, 1 Mesmer and a Warrior to have Might, Fury, Quickness and a lot of burst DPS. Firestorm First PoV: Berserker First PoV: [Coming Soon] Ranger Rotations Effigy: Frost spirit while running, glyphs, LB 2, Axe 4, Axe 5, Axe 4. First Boss: If Firestorm: Frost spirit during cutscene, glyphs at the end of cutscene, Axe 4, LB 2, LB 4 If Berserker: Frost spirit during cutscene, glyphs at the end of cutscene, LB 2, Axe 4, Axe 5 Second Boss: If Berserker: Precast CA 4, GoE, LB 2, Axe 4, Axe 5. If Firestorm: Precast CA 4, GoE, LB 2, Axe 4, Axe 5 Invul/Evade: Glyphs, LB 2, Axe 4, Axe 5 General: Depending on the group GoE has to be timed with the CC. Warrior Rotations Effigy: Double Evade + Healing skill + FGJ while running, Headbutt, F2, F1, GS 2, evade inside, GS 3 back to group for portal. First Boss: If Firestorm: FGJ before cutscene, double evade and healing skill + FGJ at the end of the cutscene, GS 2, GS 3. If Berserker: FGJ before cutscene, double evade and healing skill + FGJ at the end of the cutscene, Headbutt (can be used from range to hit bevore he gets visible) , F2, F1, GS 2 , GS 3. Second Boss: If Berserker: Pre evades, Headbutt, F2, F1,GS 2 ,GS 3. If Firestorm: Pre evades, Headbutt, F2, F1,GS 2 ,GS 3. Invul/Evade: Pre evades FGJ, Heal,GS 2, GS 3. General: A big misconception is that warr is supposed to be the main CC of the farm, which is wrong. If CC is lacking it is usually the mesmer's fault. For example: Possible mesmer shield 5 CC If your mesmer is slacking and CC is bad/slow mace 5 can be used at the start of a fight. Elementalist Rotations Effigy: Air Overload while running, Glyph, Air 5, Fire 2, Fire 3, IB 3 + 4 (Fire 2 + Overload if needed) https://youtu.be/V5Yz0dNtflg First Boss: Precast Glyph + Air Overload, Air 5, Fire 2, Fire 3 https://youtu.be/AE4z51dKJP8 Second Boss: Precast Fire 5 + Fire Overload, Fire 2, Fire 3, Air 5 https://youtu.be/k0gYSxJ85NU Invul/Evade: IB 4 + 3, Fire 2, Fire 3, Air 5 https://youtu.be/WhKvVkaHB4o General: It is important that Elementalists use "Bolt to the Heart" instead of "Fresh Air". Mesmer Rotations Start: Portal as you load in Effigy: Precast Well, Shield 5, SoI, 4, 2, Focus 5, F1, Portal, pull mobs. First Boss: If Firestorm: Alacrity Well before cutscene is over, Shield 5, SoI, 2, F1, F2, Healing Well. If Berserker: Quickness Well before cutscene is over, (Continuum Split if you have cd problems) Shield 5, SoI, 2, F1, F2 Second Boss: If Berserker: Precast Sword 3, Timewarp,Sword 2, F1, F2 If Firestorm: Precast 3, Shield 5,Sword 2, F1, F2 Invul/Evade: Timewarp, IB 4 + 3, Shield 5 (SoI if no Timewarp) ,Sword 2, F1, F2. General: F4 should be used to prevent interrupts or to prevent losing your scholar buff. If CC is lacking for the "Berserker First" way, the Elite Well can be used, but then IB can't be used for possible Firestorm evades. General mentions

| Posted: 28 Mar 2017 10:27 AM PDT Currently before you enter the Basket Brawl minigame you can use a Writ of Speed, boosting your movement speed for 30 minutes by 10-15% of the ones in the picture. It doesn't get removed upon entering and you also can't use it while in the instance. This is also true for alot of Minigame type things, Mad King Clocktower for one. [link] [comments] |
