Ashantara.8731

Story-wise, both episodes were truly well written and executed (regardless of what one may think of the tedious hearts or the unfinished map meta). I thoroughly enjoyed LWS4 and never thought I would say this, but I miss the level of quality...

Well, I'm glad that none of the armor sets I have chosen seems to have the issue, though one of them is below the waist (and I've had used several other armor skins before, but never seen a steam):


Perhaps it is related to the graphics settings?

And your point being? I merely stated that I disagree that it was "the same" as with raid armor and explained why. Your response is only re-enforcing my point that thers is a huge difference between WvW/PvP armor and Raid armor.

I disagree on this. For those you simply have to play WvW/PvP. Raid armor also requires you to remember dozens of things that need to be done in and outside of raids in order to finish your collections - it's a lot more stressful than simply playing a certain game mode.

:+1:

That's always been the case with recipes.

Just curious: is this related to the armor worn? Because I can't notice nor ever have noticed this on my single female norn character.

Have you already spent an Icebrood Saga Mastery Point on Dragon's Boon upon completing the track?

The Drizzlewood meta (the southern part in particular) is way more exhausting (with all the jumping across the map and the treasure spawns at the end^) than any of the DRMs, which are just tedious if anything from having to repeat them daily if you want to do all the collections.

P.S. CM = Challenge Mode = you are being challenged, hence the time limits and mechanics are fine.

Aren't the Azure/Crimson sets account bound? :o I just finished 3 of them, and they cannot be sold at the TP.

5.

Well, it did not work against Ryland, no matter how often I pressed the Special Action key, and I was standing right next to him. :( So the _key_ to this is **breaking the defiance bar**, which we all know is not a thing in the Snowden Drifts mission.

...or you might just notice it more often. ;) Since PvE isn't a constant running up and down a hill, it's probably less noticeable than in WvW:


> @"Will.9785" said:

Get good teammates and it's easily done. Just focus, don't stand in the various AoE (there are safe spots) and dodge the growing circle on time.

> @"Cyninja.2954" said:

> The the 2 different types of DRM final bosses, [...]

So, and that was my question, they have to be used against the final boss of a corresponding DRM - those are the ones referred to as "_new_ icebrood champions"?

So... the Azure ones, for instance, say: "Must be drenched in the blood of a **new** icebrood champion. Use this in a Dragon Response Mission to temporarily gain a skill."

Has someone done this already and can define "new" for me? Are those the regular final bosses at the end of the DRMs?

Just added screenshots to my first reply. It's like that all the time, sometimes up to 90° (see second screenshot).

It is. It may not be a new chapter, but it definitely has new content (which some might not be aware of if they don't frequent the EotN).

No, but it makes supporting _your_ group more difficult at times.

You know what they meant was that you constantly have to keep an eye on where your subgroup is (they are rarely sticky), which makes stuff like using your elite stability skill a pain in the behind, as it is applied only to those in front of you in a cone radius? ;)

1. Only if I get compensated for my ~4,000 Transmutation Charges!

2. There are "barbers" in each VIP area.

> @"Adamixos.6785" said:

> Yeah, this is really annoying. It actually happens right after your character is CC'd (knock down, launch, push back, etc.)

There does not seem to be a clear rule on what's causing it. Sometimes I just run around with a zerg in WvW without fighting and my character starts tilting with the terrain. At one time, I was casting as a HFB on a ledge and my character tilted 90° in the air, feet on the ledge. When I stopped casting, it normalized for a bit. Totally random.

> @"Shaogin.2679" said:

> How would that be any different that what we previously had?

Huh?!

Instance owner = instance closes when they leave = totally pointless and stupid mechanic

Party _leader_ = squad leader = manages who stays and who has to go

> @"Shaogin.2679" said:

> I mean, they could still kick whoever they want [...], and they would be immune to being kicked themselves

Exactly. That's what the OP needed in order to keep the intended function of the group _they_ created (namely what was stated in LFG: beginners run) and not be kicked out of their own party.

I wasn't talking about instance owners (it's a good thing _that_ was removed!) but party leaders who can manage the group, just like a squad commander.

This, and also make sure you didn't pick "Sell Instantly", in which case the money directly goes in your bank.

Old thread, but since it was brought up again...

> I was running 100CM last night with a group of first timers. We got up to the final boss. Then, due to RL, people had to leave. So I LFGed for more, clearly marking the group as for first time 100CM players. 4 People joined me, then after one run (failed at 16%) demanded to see my title (all of them changed to theirs) and kicked me out when I reminded them the group was for first run people. Essentially, they just wanted to get the completion and stole my last boss instance.

> This is why I keep saying we need to remove these kinds of titles. Give a group a method to say "you aren't leet enough for us" and they will use it to discriminate.

Actually, just making the person who started a party of five the "squad commander" would easily solve the problem. This mechanic should have been introduced a long time ago.

Titles are fine.

P.S. One thing you learn quickly from creating groups in LFG: _some_ people can't read or simply don't care.
