Do it. The games quite a bit better than when you stopped playing.
rangers are terribad now
I haven't played in 13 months, but I'm thinking of playing again...what have I missed?
My guy is level 80 and I had 100% world completion (put in 500 hours in less than 3 months of playing). Now I'm missing a couple of vistas and waypoints, but I don't see a new area on the map.
Name is Varax if anyone remembers my character. Charr Ranger.
Just got back into the game, only level 21, how do I get into the tower of nightmare, theres tons of enemies luring outside. Also seems very dead, its a rare site to see anyone wandering around
Wow. Just wow. World vs World is SO much better when your join your server's mumble(or teamspeak, whatever service). The awareness of what is going on is amazing. Even if you don't have a headset, get in there! Wish I had done it ages ago.
Anyone know how much truth there is to this?
god i hope new weapons come sooner rather than later either way. this game needs a breath of fresh air in the combat area. or ya know, get rid of passives and make traits fun.
The tower is hard content. If you're having trouble getting inside, you'll get freaking slaughtered in there alone. You need a party. This doesn't have to do with you being level 21 and upleveled (I've taken alts in there at that and below) but just getting better with your class over time.Just got back into the game, only level 21, how do I get into the tower of nightmare, theres tons of enemies luring outside.

Last I knew (from a dev interview/steam) they have a few guys looking into the possibility of giving all professions access to all weapons. But they were still just toying around with the idea and seeing if it was feasible. That was three or four months ago.
Any PvE Guardians out there that can help me out?
After today's run with my friends in Fractals, I realized our team composition isn't so great.
We're:
Engineer, (me, Pistol/Shield)
Engineer, (Dual Pistols)
Mesmer, (Not sure)
Warrior (Greatsword / Longbow)
Warrior (Dual Swords? / Longbow)
I have a level 80 Guardian running http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mccz0oz9MmaGbmmvNbm0x0xaoaqMkqo8khT707khT7070M7kNc70V7owX70m and full Valkyries set (armour and weapons) in the wings, that I'm thinking of using for Fractals/Dungeons when running with the group. But I've got no idea what I'm doing, or how best to help the team. We seem to lack condition removal for some reason (Mai Trin was giving us hell on Fractal 1, for pete's sake).
Any suggestions as to what I should do with the Guardian, to raise our survivability? I'm trying to bolster confidence a bit, so we can tackle harder content together.

I think one thing that those responding to you sort of glossed over is that the biggest benefit you'll be bringing to your group comp by being a guardian is "being a guardian." Guardians are inordinately useful in Fractals, and unlike many classes even a nowhere-close-to-mastered Guardian can substantially benefit a full party. From having the experience of being in a party with them alone I can tell you that if you toss Wall of Reflection and either a couple shouts or Purging Flames on your bar, you'll make a huge impact regardless of what Fractal you're on or weapon sets you're using. You can use the Fractal level progression to employ increasingly complex tactics and specialized loadouts for individual encounters as you feel more confident.After playing only Engineer for so long, all this is pretty overwhelming.
I finally reached level 35. Is getting the cultural armor worth it? I have 16G.
Oh right.
And the most important fractals tip.
NEVER let anyone else host.
F'ing idiot just tried to "Swap to guardian!" at the Grawl Shaman. Oh well, it was shitty group anyway. A nearly *done* shitty group, of course.
I'm sad to say I didn't even consider this. I'm not a mixing set type of person. They probably didn't consider it either.I mean the following - if I want a mixed set of cultural/dungeon armors from the new vendor, I HAVE to buy the WHOLE sets. For example - I want the Tier 3 Human Cultural Light Armor chest and leggings, the Citadel of Flame boots and gloves and the helmet and shouders from the Arah dungeon. To get these items, I need to buy all 3 sets, which will cost me a total of 100 000 glory and 80 gold!!! It's just ridiculous.
That's why they should allow us to get only individual parts of said armor set, like only the chest or the leggings.
He also said there was a low chance at something good, but the chances of it actually being considered good by the playerbase is even lower.Rewatch the Stream again, and at one point(around the 25min mark), when they are demonstrating the luck drops, that clown Hugh, bought few mystery boxes, and they turned just as another rank/win chests, which everyone have few stacks of.
I was busy all weekend, but I ran by GAF yesterday and posted in that thread last night.Actually, I'm getting only positive posts in my suggestion to compensate previous solo/team arena wins:
https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pvp/pvp/Compensate-the-already-won-Solo-Team-arenas
Too bad, that's pretty much all we can do on the matter. :/ I tried to contact Grouch via ingame pm, but he was streaming the 2v2 tournament, so I didn't want to disturb him.
Don't forget the traits. New weapons mean new trait support. Although this also gives them an excuse to drop some of the traits no one likes.I think it's more about the work involved. Adding an entire new weapon archtype is not a small deal.
Why would you add new weapons when some of the existing ones are useless/broken and the traits need to be overhauled? They need to do the opposite of adding new shit when the stuff they already have needs more attention.
So Wintersday looks like it'll be even more fun than last year, they're really improving some stuff, and adding some new stuff, which is awesome like the donation army.

I've been experimenting with Microsoft's gif looping algorithm:

I'm quite sure those who you're referring to easily eclipse 400 hours a few times over There's a lot of depth to be had by those who seek it, that tons of players, perhaps even most, will never be touched.Damn, when I read posts like this, I always realize that you guys are playing this game on a whole different level. Makes me think: what the hell have I wasted 400 hours on???
Man that's awesome.

It's funny, I've had friends in from out of town and barely played Sunday and didn't play yesterday... then bam it's patch day and I'm definitely feeling the itch. Gonna be doing mostly Wintersday stuff tonight but I really feel like squeezing in a CoE run, if anyone is interested.
December Kills GAFGuild. Thanks ANET and Santa.
No that sounds pretty good.Count me in for a CoE run later tonight after 9pm or 10pm...if that is doable for you. If you want to run it earlier go ahead and do not wait for me.
It's okay your avatar has a cute hat!I'll play again at some point.

After December 10, there will be just four releases left in the current major world story arc, which we like to think of as season one of the Living World. There are some major unanswered questions that remain: What is Scarlet trying to do? What is the motivation behind her actions? What are the do not touch devices? What will Scarlet do with the knowledge she has gained from her various collaborations? The answers to all of these questions, and one epic finale that will rock Tyria to its very core, await you in 2014.
So, I started playing pretty recently, and I don't know the story that well. Where should I look it up? The wikia? The official site?Would scarlet be using those do not touch things to awaken primordis?
Hi Gaf Guild. I've been playing GW2 for about 2 months, since I picked up a new computer and wanted to try out something modern to play on it.
My main is only about level 67, but I'd like to throw my influence points toward something greater than I. (I would like to take part in some larger stuff at some point, I still feel like a stranger in a strange land.)
I planned ahead and I'm already on Stormbluff. My ID is Sonicbug.7341 if anyone would like to drop my an invite. I'll try not to embarrass myself too badly!

Sort of depends what you're looking for. What Kos is referencing are these weird machines that are throughout the world right now that say "Do Not Touch" and shock you. They're a total mystery at this point.So, I started playing pretty recently, and I don't know the story that well. Where should I look it up? The wikia? The official site?
Not sure, actually. It would be great if someone could check if the "Fractured" Meta is still live when the patch hits today; if so I imagine the story fractal instance is still around too.Anyone know if the reactor story mode is disappearing today? I haven't logged in to play for a couple weeks, so I never did that.
I'd assume it won't, but...
Yeah, I was talking about the story in general, the links you both posted are perfect, thanks a lot!Sort of depends what you're looking for.
