We are sitting in front of PCs because of a very rich man who shaped the world closer to his liking by using his wealth.

They're throwing all the pandemic stress on the players backs... This part of the game existed way before this pandemic situation began tho.. And imo, doing some casual content for a weekend doesn't really count as grinding in my books. Imo, grinding has to make you feel miserable and be tedious and annoying, and if doing a few hearts in ls4 makes you feel that way, then playing any content in GW2 must feel like torture xD

As map changes, I think your corpse will get teleported to a wp and some player should revive you eventually.. xD I'm not sure if this happens only in some maps like dragonfall and such that teleport all players at the end of meta.

Saddle is the grindy part ;) I also suggest getting griff asap, there's as much point sitting on a pile of gold in MMOs as there is on sitting on a pile of resources in an RTS game, better put em to good use and make more quicker :P

The divided skills between modes are a huge deterrent for me. It took me ages to get to a decent level of skill in PvE, and taking an underpowered core build into a PvP environment with completely different specs for the skills I already learned so I can learn new specs to get skills to play in a different mode that will have different specs once I get them back there, all while being fodder for people who want quick kills is not something I’m interested in doing. I understand why the skills are different, but the bar is too high. I know some of you are MMO gods who know everything and don’t understand why carebears cannot just do everything the way you do it, blah blah blah. Good for you. It doesn’t help me. It's just like any other hobby, you gotta spend time training if you wish to get results. And I'd suggest not to treat it like it's something serious, it's just a computer game after all. 99.9% of the players are in the same boat as you, we're all just fodder if we are put against the very best. Most people really aren't very good at all, and are simply smashing buttons and following other people around the maps, and I'm definitely one of those :)

As a support srapper, combos are about half of what im doing in pve, and thats quite a lot of combos as my apm is higher than when i played starcraft. Frost field adds so much mitigation that its almost silly.

I bet he plays a mortar engi xD

Yea id say go into t1/t2 to get your memory running, healing in t3/4 and forgetting something nasty sucks xD

I would also follow your advice, as that's exactly what I did when I wanted to check raids out. Just got a chill LFG going and it went really well :) The only thing blocking people from getting into raiding is in their own mind, same as with most things in life that require effort. Just work on what you wish to achieve and remember that it's not a race.

Talking: the action of talking; speech or discussion.

Basically that's all mmos these days, it's very hard to find random people to talk to. I suggest joining a guild if you're looking for social encounters.

> @"Sir Alymer.3406" said: > It's easy, rework the fractals to now be a chain. Queue them up and immediately go from one to the next with no inbetween to Dessa's lab. Doing it this way gives your group increased rewards at the end of the final one in the queue if all fractals are a daily (CMs don't break this chain). Those that leave before you get to Dessa's lab are robbed of the increased rewards and have to deal with a 5 minute dishonor where they can't use the LFG. Carrot is always better than the stick, best idea so far.. But... If someone leaves, it's gonna be hard af to get a replacement.

Instruments too! I wanna be miniflutist :3 edit: just thought that has anyone else noticed that sometimes in fractals with frailty, you can actually equip instruments even if it tells you that you can't transform with a transformation effect applied. Whats up with that? is there anything that really prevents it from happening for reals or not because it seems to work quite often in the shattered fractal after you jump through the portal with the cutscene.

Imo, real healer QOL would be to see condis in squad ui.

Just tested it and I was definitely wrong, so it turns out it's possible to mine two nodes and mount as a scrapper without any special gear requirements at all.

The vial is a jewel that is used to craft the infusion, you simply tried placing the wrong type of an item into your equipment. For crafting the actual infusion, you place the vial into the mystic forge with some crystals, mist essence and a +9 infusion that adds stats. edit: I also gotta wonder what wiki you're reading as this information was available in seconds by going to the vials wiki page.

I effortlessly hopped to WoW after experiencing PoF (and of course because new expansion launched). I still play but not as much. If open world mobs were to be made harder like many repliers seem to dream of (which means 1/2 playerbase dying most of the time to the mob, not just downing, outright dying), I wouldn't be able to enjoy open world anymore. Don't you get tired of whacking mobs all the time? Might as well put a target dummy or combat simulation that gives loot after it dies in middle of LA. **Don't you get enough combat satisfaction in fractals or raids?** I just don't get you people. To me whacking mobs becomes boring quickly, especially when I'm not there to whack anything. In personal stories, combat is (to me) just a way to gate my progression. What is so fun wasting time on AI? Even punching a bag irl is more understandable because it affects your body in positive ways. Maybe I just wouldn't be able to understand. Either way... what you said goes both ways. > You can opt out of combat in OW by playing stealth builds very easily, capped concentration should let you mine a couple nodes as a thief or scrapper and should even give you time to mount up before stealth fades. As combat is the only reason why we even put clothes on our characters in this game, I find it very strange that getting into brawls is perceived as a problem anyways, isn't that kinda the point of the game? Are you sure that a combat focused MMO is what you actually even want to play if you find it boring? I've met a lot of people in Elite Dangerous who actually wish to play Universe Sandbox but for some reason buy a game where all the space ships come equipped with weaponry when bought, then complain when anything or anyone attacks their ship. This reminds me a bit of that.

80 has been the max level since the game released, you can keep using the same stuff as this sort of a gearing problem doesn't exist in GW2.

Just do the lower tier ones, that's where you're supposed to train for the higher ones. Fractals are supposed to be the hardest 5 man content, so imo it's to be expected that you're gonna have to challenge yourself under pressure a bit. You're gonna get more surprises as the tier goes up btw, many bosses gain new mechanics that you don't see on the lower tiers and the combinations of instabilities will force you to think up completely new ways to beat some encounters :)

Quoting from last thread, ANET should sticky this stuff on the front page. I've quit playing a couple MMOs in the past only because of patching issues. I have to do this edit after every patch now or the launcher either doesn't start or the download gets stuck at some random %, so it might be a good idea to make a shortcut to the hosts file to save some time and clicking if you run into this problem after every patch as well from now on. > @roughneck.8936 said: > I had the same problem today ,the solution i found after digging thru forums comes from Healix.5819 and it works. > Open a command prompt (search , type cmd ,right click run as admin) and enter following(you can copy&paste): > nslookup origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com 8.8.8.8 > > Copy one of the addresses (it changes every few days and there are usually 2) for my region its currently > 52.206.178.33 > > Search the start menu for notepad, right click it and run it as an administrator.

Remember to remove the line when you're done(i never did still works). This advice is from Healix.5819 and it works,i used it twice before in the past(after digging thru today i came across and remembered his posts ) and also helps with stuck downloading update and so on so forth.>

Scrapper is a viable support for 5 man pve tho, pop is almost op combined with cleansing field, fumigation and cleanse gyro. I'd say that it's a lot harder to play than most other supports tho, as you're pretty much playing pvp with your targeting circles but instead of killing people you're healing em. Some fractals also spam so much chilled condi that you can provide perma alacrity for the party during those encounters, and We Bleed Fire instability is a nice source for aegis.
