Lucky and unlucky title progression points

I have noticed that in Dalada some mobs, especially the bugs, rezzes one member after getting killed whats up with that? Also they dont count toward the point thingy

I'm at rank 5 and it took years and years and years of doing like 100k gold at a time on this shit, rank 5 is 2.5x what it took to get rank 5, and then the last rank is 4x that

>>2210397
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/False_Death

>>2210357
Lucky adds 3% per rank to preserve your lockpick on all characters
Once you hit 30% retention rate it starts to snowball and you save shitloads on lockpicks

>>2210404
I think Lucky is 2%, Treasure Hunter is 3%
Treasure Hunter and Wisdom both improve chance to not destroy shit from salvaing by 3% per rank

>>2210404
using lockpicks is already a loss and the money and time used to get to max lucky will never pay itself back compared to just farming other things desu

>>2210429
I have enough money that I'm doing all four of the titles just to max them. I don't care for the giga expensive skins or OS shit, so titles is my next best use of money

I found a Bowstring of +20% enchantment duration, any ideas for builds that come to mind?

Okay cool, so now can you add reforged mode to NF so I can do ironman NF and actually afford to buy skills for my heroes?

I don't understand the Reforged changes. Just call it easy mode?

>>2210472
Their metrics probably show new players start with Prophecies but then quit because it has such slow pacing and progression. These changes won't really change anything for experienced players, realistically, it just means a noob has an easier time buying armor upgrades and skills even without doing every single skill quest.

>>2210470
I just want it to become a toggle I can click even on existing characters and not locked to making new ones. My old LDoAs can't enter Piken Square and it's fucking annoying.

Reforged is just alpha changes. They'll merge it eventually, and until then you definitely don't want to accidentally bork your characters with something that's broken.

I was thinking it would be the badge for turning on all other badges if they continue to make them.

What should the other God covenants be?

Balthazar, something about honor and bravery? Disables partying with players and H/H. So, true solo challenge.

Grenth, maybe like a timer that counts to your inevitable death and tracks campaign completion time. Like a speedrun mode. Pairs well with Dhuum.

Lyssa should be something chaotic that increased randomness in the playthrough. Maybe scrambles skill acquisition or loot somehow?

Dwayna I have no clue.

>>2210470
You get hero skill trainers and every expansion after Prophecies showers you in gold.

>>2210529
The first thing Grenth did when he overthrew Dhuum was let people use resurrection magic, so it only makes sense that he should give people a way to get their Dhuum badge back after losing it.

I'd install toolbox if I could cut everything out except for the thing that tells you when an item is valuable on kamadan.

so in the new mode i can't just get my mercs and mesmerway through the entire game? i might actually have to play the game?

if you have a shitmaxxed hero team, DoA HM clear + Mallyx gives you 25-30 gemstones for about 2hrs of work (+ probably an extra 10-20k of value per run in random shit), which can still be reliably moved for about 1e each

You could also just sit on the poor people rings, it costs virtually nothing and it's about same speed as sitting on the expensive rings. The only difference is your lucky title progress is a lot slower (lucky title is easier to gain points in than unlucky).

I think about 50-100k will probably get you through full festival on the poor people rings.

>>2210918
Do your zaishen dailies, any daily that gives at least 50 copper coins = 1e, most dailies give 100-150 and can be done with real players. Nick is also pretty good, you can usually farm his items in an hour or 2, 5 gifts equal about 10-15e.

HA ZC is technically the best money making method for your time spent. >>2210934 you only need to win first 2 battles which never have real humans 99% of the time it's basically PvE. We have several people in guild who like to do this daily you could probably join for it.

>>2210478
>new players start with Prophecies but then quit
its absolutely this
prophecies is garbage

>all forms of making money basically devolve to spamming WTS in Kamadan for hours on end
even nick gifts I don't get hits on for 15e and I see people trying to sell them 4e each

>>2210978
4e is crazy in the current economy. 3e is a fair value to sell at, 2e if you just wanna be done with it.

Also not true either, mat farms tend to be pretty profitable depending value of mats (bad time right now) you farm stuff like plant fibers/feathers etc... sell to mat trader for gold. Same with the gold rune farms (also a bad time right now lmao), couple runs roll a high value rune and make big money.

>>2210989
bad time for almost everything right now lol, i'm glad i poopsocked the snowball fight

>>2210478
>>2210976
they're trying but I don't know if it'll be enough to actually make proph stay fun, it just moves so slowly.
they almost need to totally "reforge" prophecies, that is, redo all of Ascalon so that by the time you hit Yak's bend, you're level 20, with max stat armor available, Lion's Arch at the very latest for level 20 and max stat armor and weapons, party size should be 8 starting with LA, and 6 starting from Piken's/the Breach and Diessa area/Courthouse/Nolani academy
Like they drag you through all of ascalon as 4man party which is really constraining especially for hard mode.it's advisable to caravan from at least Yak's bend to vanquish the shit.
But Kryta, Maguuma, the Desert, all 8 man level 20 content.and it'd still be the slowest paced campaign.

>>2210989
even at 3e I stand forever but 2e seems like a kick in the balls.

>>2211010
Yeah I usually will quickly look over the current listings, for example right now I see like 3 people trying to sell GotT for 3e, bad time to sell right now. But maybe in few hours nobody will be selling which is when I put my listing up.

GotT can be kinda rough, you can also try to undercut people and go 5/14e.

This is a bad week to sell, jade shards means EVERYONE has GotT and EVERYONE is desperately trying to sell for festival. Best time to sell is weeks with an annoying item to farm.

>>2211012
finally got a hit, but yeah when nick gifts are easy they can take time to sell, when nick gifts are annoying they sell pretty fast.
everything else I have to sell like weapon mods and stuff, I basically just cruise buy orders, the length you get to spam an ad is crippling to being able to try to spam so many things like weapon mods
and then rare skins that aren't q9, basically just have to hope you're lucky when someone's actually looking to buy one, cause trying to sell you will be there forever.

>>2210978
That's definitely one aspect I don't miss when I play newer MMOs. I want to play the game, not play Happy Merchant for an hour.

>>2211030
yeah the only weapon mods that sell fast are desirable +5 sr wrappings, even aptitude not attitude and forget me not take a while to move

>>2211037
yeah but some dumbasses will claim "oh it is good to interact with people, and it rewards (((salesmanship)))"
no it rewards having 0 life and a second account that you can spam on 24/7, and flipping.
the ~*<<>>*~ is not salesmanship or even really effective

>>2211042
Half the people selling shit in trade chat are bots. You're not going to get a lot of meaningful social interaction out of them.

>>2211007
emergency 8 man party from lions arch onwards would increase player retention for the poor fools tricked into starting in prophecies by 6 gorillion percent

>>2211060
No, even if you're a hapless noob 6-man party is plenty to brute force the missions in Kryta and Maguuma. Crystal Desert, however...

>>2211060
The low mob density in those zones would let you steamroll everything, even with a party of shitters.

>>2211133
I thought about it but my main problem with it is you can't trade/drop items for other players. This means if you get a cool item someone else in prog can use, you can't give it to them which just feels bad.

If they changed it so iron man characters could trade with iron man characters (which is part of the "official" ruleset) I would be down for it.

For our NF prog I'll let people decide what covenant we pick for that then, but that is several months away.

>>2211094
obviously if they make it 8 man and level 20 all the enemies and spawns would need to be adjusted.
it'd be a big undertaking but it'd bring prophecies experience up to what people experience in Factions and Nightfall.
Proph just drags on in comparison (even though when it was new it didn't feel so bad, there wasn't much to compare it to and level 20 is a pretty low cap), and no heroes makes playing without humans to play with at the outposts suffering,trying to do missions with level 3 henchmen, and limited skills available.
Yeah I get it for veteran players it's not a big deal and they can solo everything without the henchmen even but new players get in, they go through pre, then in ascalon they want to do missions but there's no players at the outposts and they have shit gear, and only the starter skills to work with usually. they just quit.

>>2211390

>>2210996
>>2210989
I think there was a generational level of rmt to fuel HoM stuff, which destroyed so much gold and ecto that combined with increased activity from farms, somehow we're going into boardwalk with ectos being worth over 7k. It's a really high price for January. In general, the ecto compared to what it can buy is really strong right now. I'm betting a lot of new or returning players actually are making obsidian armor for the first time and it's affecting supply

>>2211442
Yeah it is pretty surprising ecto hasn't dropped personally I think it's cause new players aren't planning ahead like all the players who've been playing for years and are aware of boardwalk events. I'm still convinced it's going to fall once the festival start. You're definitely right about obi armor though driving value up, the number of people trying to buy sapphire/rubies at any moment for vabbian HoM armor is crazy.

qrd on the canthan new year?

40/20/5 is almost certainly better than 40/40 with 16/15 dom/fc, despite minor DPS loss, because a 40/40 with no inspiration will likely run out of energy, and 16/15 dom/fc can replace inspiration skills with extra damage skills like chaos storm or power spike.

EBSoW may or may not be as good as it looks on paper. I'd guess, not quite as good, but still strong, assuming you're not going against heavy AoE where you need to run out of the ward/flag heroes apart. The naive DPS my sheet gives me assumes you are just spamming the skill non-stop off of CD, whereas with a full bar, with 15+ FC and 68% HSR (20% and 60% multiplied), you may not be able to actually use all the skills on your bar, because stuff is coming off CD so quickly. Plus, while DPS goes up, damage per energy remains the same.

Last year, ecto dropped to ~3.5k IIRC. Or maybe that was during anniversary idr. So buying it during the festival, then selling it later when it is high, is usually a decent way to get some 'free' money if you don't mind waiting for it to bounce back. It may be different this year, though, given Reforged may shake up the dynamics of the economy a bit. I'd say if ecto is still 7k+ right now, it's probably worth taking the gamble on it dropping, and selling some off. It's not as guaranteed as it was in previous years, but I think it's still a safe bet.

At the very least, if you're hurting for platinum, offloading ecto for doesn't hurt, as long as you're not doing it when ecto is rock bottom, which it likely will be soon.

>Fronis Irontoe

You can still easily put 3 mesmers in line formation in an ebsow while keeping any two of them out of nearby range to each other. ST and BiP can fit in too.
Though that gets clunky in tight spaces and I usually settle for keeping the mesmer line only adjacent-range apart from each other.
Also I suppose you're getting less value out of prodigy insignia if you have them because you'll be out of energy more than you'll be waiting on CDs.

Some obsessive nerd on Reddit has a spreadsheet of every job posting they've put up for the last like 4-5 years describing an Unreal-engine project that's an MMO in an existing franchise (a recent one actually said "you will be developing the Guild Wars story") and unless you think they just hire dozens of people with specific skillsets that are not applicable to GW1 or GW2 and have them jack off in the breakroom, they're working on something. Existing employees have changed their job title and said they're no longer working on GW2 or GW1 but are still employed at ArenaNet, and one even got moved back to GW2 and publicly said it was because he found working in Unreal frustrating. The NCSoft CEO literally namedropped GW3 as something in development when he got yelled at in an investor meeting and nobody ever even denied that it was in development, it just got walked back to an "our focus is on Guild Wars 2" non-answer.

If you can manage to convince yourself that there's an alternative explanation for all of that, you're welcome to do so.

It means that heroes can only use skills that your character has personally unlocked, rather than any skill unlocked on your account.

I'm workshopping a melee hero team right now and I'm looking for some feedback.

The cornerstone of this team set up is the ele and the paragon. The ele build is actually insane, with master of magic I can use primsatic insignia's making my ele an 80 armor ele additionally with elemental flame all of my hexes are spamming burning condition. Along with a crapload of anti melee skills.

Combined with my paragon who is running "They're on fire" making all enemies who are burning do -37% less damage. For my paragon I am thinking about dropping either Anthem of Weariness, and maybe Anthem of Envy, but I'm not sure what to stick there, my first thought is aggressive refrain (for faster attack speed) but since this is my only hero with a res I don't want to risk him dying due to low armor. Another idea would be SYG for extra armor. Haven't decided which skill to replace yet, but probably envy.

I'm running an avatar of dwayna for AoE healing, also has order of pain + blood bond for more damage + healing for melee. I'm still considering running an order of vamp necro on this build but I can't really fit it anywhere and having less than 4 melee heroes in a melee team feels bad.

The other avatar is melandru for AoE condi removal so blindness is ineffective. I might swap to dwayna for better healing and just run runes of clarity for anti blind but I'm undecided, avatar of melandru might just be overkill. I decided to run Rigor Mortis over Barbs for anti block since this build doesn't have a good answer to block skills. I might change that to Barbs, or drop Harrier's Haste for barbs later.

The smite monk is pretty standard, I went Empathetic for better hex removal over RoJ since RoJ causes scattering (bad for splinter + 100blades/VoS). I might drop this later for smite necro running order of vampire, not decided.

I'm probably going to have my avatars run firey scythes to trigger Mark of Rodgort.

is this worth anything?

>>2212769
lmao

>>2212770
I've been really toying with what class to play this team with, I was between rit and necro for a really long time necro could run something hilarious like tainted flesh, or even scythe necro with EBSoH, lots of possibilites on necro, but the ele build looks kinda fun too.

This build has lots of self healing/self prot, good amount of shutdown my main concern is the lack of res currently but I can't figure out a way to include anymore on any bar without impacting performance. I'm still very mixed on smite monk the more I think about it the more I'm starting to lean toward N/Mo smite necro so I can run more enchant removals and free up my avatars to run /P for res + "Go for the eyes"

>>2212727
an engine that handles large encounters better. larger encounters are what 99% of players are doing everyday.

Smiting support is BASED, but that dude is gonna run out of energy like a fat bitch ten seconds after she hears Taylor Swift is two blocks away.

There are so many good Paragon elites that are NOT Incoming. Anthem of Fury, It's Just a Flesh Wound, Cautery Signet, Song of Purification... also I don't see Glowing Signet on there at all.

Throw Save Yourselves on your paragon if you need to and free up that warrior slot?

Can't comment on Dervishes because fuck 'em.

Rather than all that shit in your Rit build, I'd run a Weapon of Three Forges MM build.

>>2212771
https://guildwarslegacy.com/forum/thread/24473-pc-vabbian-tower-shield-q8-command/
probably

>>2212785
Yeah I really wanted to slap Anthem of Fury on, but then I remembered I only really have 1 character who is using adrenaline which is the warrior. It's just a flesh wound might be a good choice if I end up dropping my avatar of melandru but as it stands melandru + smite condi/empathetic is a crazy amount of condi removal. Cautery for same reason. Song of Purification would be better if I was running a spirit of infuriating heat or Dark Fury but my paragon hero doesn't have a good way of generating adrenaline on his own, I'd need to put an IAS. I originally had glowing signet on bar, but after looking at the bar I realized I didn't have any skills that would require me to put energy management on my paragon.

I toyed with putting infuriating heat on my para for longest time, but only my warrior really benefits from that.

As far as rit yeah I'm super divided on it. The problem with 3 weapon forge is a lot of the weapon skills are just meh, esp compared to running spammable GDW + splinter. I'd be trading shudown + spike damage for better defensive sustain + ease of use. MM though is a super interesting idea I didn't think of that. Combined with Dwayna derv that might actually be a better idea, the only problem is my smite monk's only going to be able to maintain 2 SoH's (I plan to give him a +5 SR to manage his energy). I had intended to manage the other 2 SoH's on my bar. So I'll have 2 melee heroes without SoH. I'll try both later and let you know how it goes. But MM rit would let me drop melandru derv in favor of bone minions + spirit gift hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Can't run SY it's PvE only skill. Did you mean SYG?

>>2212771
leadership shields are the new hotness

I still have a Khabuus daily. What if we all logged in and kissed in Bogroot Growths?

>>2212829
I meant Watch Yourselves, my bad.
The neat part about Weapon of Three Forges is that it affects the minion too, so you could potentially get hard spikes if you roll lucky.
You can also keep the smiter and add Judge's Intervention.

>>2212841
Well the thing is I don't actually need any more space on my warriors bar W/A doesn't have a good res, I guess I could drop Death's Charge to go /Rt or /P for another res but I wouldn't need to drop Watch Yourself then in that case.

Problem with smiters is what to drop for Judge's Intervention. Can't drop smite hex it's my only hex removal on team (and OP). Smite condition goes pretty hard in this comp too, but I guess it's maybe optional if I go for the flesh wound para, would suck to not run it. Reversal of Damage is really good skill, and smiters boon makes all my smite skills heal for 70 HP instead of 35, but I guess it's not strictly required. Not running SoH on a smite bar feels bad, mirror of disenchant my only enchant removal on team, I guess power drain might be optional if I'm running a +5 SR but Judge's is an energy guzzler.

Thought about it some more and I think you're right about flesh wound para. Changed him to flesh wound, changed melandru derv to dwayna for more healing. and I swapped onto weapon of 3 forge minion master rit. Also put SYG onto para instead of weariness, plenty of sources of weakness on this team already.

not sure what to do with the orders derv, i think getting a real spike out of oop would be pretty rare

>>2212900
The empty slot on rit was for three weapon forge, MM rit not as good otherwise. aura of lich will be funny but not as good. I considered masochism for a while, on your build its 100% justified, but I don't know how I feel about it still.

Controversial but I don't think this team needs a BiP. Probably better off putting order of vamp there and changing order of pain on the dwayna derv. Boon of Creation +5 SR rit has too much energy. MoM might be dicey but glowing gaze should keep it going. And +5 SR smiter is pretty efficient with energy.

Hexbreaker aria on para is honestly a really good idea holy shit. Derv enchants count as spells, I'm definitely sticking that on my para's bar. I'm not sure about chest thumper though, I don't think this build has a source of cracked armor (maybe replace order of pain with weaken armor.

I don't think I like your MoM ele, if you're going play melee ele you may as well run starburst and go for whirlwind + lightning touch as well for AoE memes. 80 armor is tanky but I don't know if I'd risk it up close. That's a build I'd have more confidence on a player to execute over a hero.

Mystic healing is a really interesting choice to put on that dwayna derv bar, I like it. I don't know if meditation is worth running with only 2 enchants though. Maybe replace with another earth flash enchant. Or replace pious concentration with a flash enchant (esp if you're dropping order of pain).

Thinking about it more, zealots fire is a good idea on this build given rodgorts burning. Judge intervention also works now that we are running minions. I'm very conflicted on your smite monk lmao, might be better to go N/Mo for better energy management desu.

>>2212833
>leadership shields exist
huh
I didn't know that
I mean I usually have enough in command to use a command shield anyway, but I suppose there could be a build that uses leadership and spear mastery and leaves the speed buffs to heroes, but I always like to use go for the eyes (really helps with energy) and find their weakness anyway.

So realistically how do you even play ironman if you need space for kits mats keys consumables books upgrades loot? And that's before you can afford fully upgraded bags.

>>2212949
you either consume the books, or toss them. You have 1 10 slot bag dedicated to mats that you need.

another 10 slot bag dedicated to consumables/ID kit/salvage kit.

If you're running multiple weps/armor you have a 5 slot equipment pouch (not too much work to upgrade to 10 slot). Rest can go in your 5 slot belt

and loot can go in your main 20 open slots. It's not as bad as you think, this is assuming worst case as well that you are hoarding 10 different kinds of mats (for what reason?). and at least 8 different consumables (you really won't have more than maybe 5 in your inventory). Along with 10 different weapon/armor you don't want to trash.

Unless you are Kensuke, in which case you perpetually have 6 open slots and you dread finding something potentially useful.

>>2212949
you'd just have to not do books or only have 1 at a time, the real bitch is having mats for armor, you might have to make due with collector weapons, and farm greens for weapons.

>>2212900
I think orders is 100% worth it if you're going to have at least 3 physicals, this set up has 5. For 5 seconds every scythe attack gets +11, the para's attacks get +11, and 100 blades gets +11, it'd be better if we had a necro (+16) but it's honestly worth it. It also helps provide cover enchants to allow mystic healing to work on full party.

I incorporated some of your ideas I liked. I think SoH is too good to pass up on, especially for the VoS derv + 100 blades warrior.

On my dervs I gave them shield of force instead, its 12 second recharge which kinda sucks, but its a free AoE KD and weakness. Whirling charge is actually better with higher wind prayers because you can instantly end it so its some nice IMS + AoE.

I'm tempted to put Lyssa's Haste on here which would be REALLY good, but I don't think they have the energy management for it. Going to experiment a bit and see how they handle their current bars, worst case maybe I get +5 SR scythes so I can drop meditation for lyssa's haste.

I also decided I NEED enchant strips on this team, so I replaced rigor mortis with rend enchants (cheaper too for better energy managements).

The player character needs to run technobabble its such great shutdown combined with melee heroes/minions.

>>2212933
weapon of three forges just feels a little thin without a bunch of minions that are there to fight rather than die, ideally bone fiends, so i leaned into the minion bomber avenue. three forges+ebsoh+oou bone fiends would be how i'd go but that's a bigger change in party comp.
yeah bip's just there as a security blanket, especially for the mo/n.
only source of cracked armor is aura slicer, not sure if paras use it correctly.
my thinking with the ele was that adjacent hexes aren't great on this build because anything standing adjacent is probably going to get quickly blendered by hundred blades or sand shards and frozen burst + grasping earth are the cheapest and fastest recharging nearby hexes. other idea was dropping frozen burst and mark of rodgort for incendiary bonds plus whirlwind. or just dropping death's charge for shroud of distress or something and let them run in after the derv and warrior have established some attention.
the smite/death monk is a meme i've been trying to get working for a while and it always comes out feeling like it's one skill slot short of functionality, but mark of rodgort + TOF + zealot's fire might be the excuse it needed.

>>2212960
consider chilblains, maybe on the ele. deep freeze, incendiary bonds, mark of rodgort, glyph of lesser energy, chilblains, mark of pain, and do something else with the second derv's secondary?

>>2212964
chillblains 25e cost is too nasty MoM doesn't give discount either.

The paragon would be ideal person to stick blood ritual on, but I like his bar too much to change anything. I don't think heros use chest thumper efficiently, aura slicer only does cracked armor to 1 foe need AoE cracked (could go for that AoE cracked armor derv enchant but I don't think its worth running on derv) without multiple cracked armor targets para is unlikely to land it.

The problem with the ele build is due to MoM + elemental flame the ele hero will be delayed into any combat encounter and they won't be able to get a good frozen burst or grasping earth off in time. Your build is the sort of build a player could execute well which is why I was considering doing this on my ele instead.

I think weapon of 3 forges will be alright because it's still massively benefitting 4 melee heroes in addition to potentially providing some healing/survivability to my MoM + N/Mo. I'll let you know how it goes.

>>2212944
its pretty comfy running command at minimal while spear and leadership is maxxed

>>2212949
Most of the junk you'll pick up while leveling is merchant food, and it'll be a while before you can afford enough gear for multiple sets to be a problem. You can sell most of the stuff you pick up regret-free since you can't trade with other players. The only real issue I see is when you're trying to farm mats for armor sets, since you'll have the mats clogging up your inventory until you can visit an armor crafter.

>>2212952
I'm already loving the idea of ironman to rewire your brain to ditch all bloat, because hoarding everything across an account of characters is fucking tiring. Now I can delete runes and upgrades and useless weapons and consumables without even flinching.

>>2212989
hmm.. if I'm not using finde their weakness, even small investment like 3-4 points is still beneficial for go for the eyes
which I would often have at least 1 martial in a team to benefit from crits It's cheap spammable energy management and also refreshes HR
so I guess still worth using even with dump statting command if you got a leadership shield.
The factions one is pretty nice, but that's gotta be so rare.

Even more aggressive mtx
But in all seriousness, probably a better new player onboarding. Gw2 is confusing as fuck to get into because of the way the expansions aren't required to be played in order but then the story won't make sense and it still won't make sense cause you need living world seasons which are different from the newer expansions but actually you didn't need to do any of it and you should rush the skyscale cause you are going to get gapped in movement for the big trains of people. And it's STILL extremely gay

>>2212727
>>2212754
More genders, unironically.
I expect custom pronouns and a thinly veiled "orange man" antagonist if we see a new game from modern Anet, whatever it is.

kyaaa! a meeting with emperor kissu?

>>2212727
If they're smart about it, it'll be more like walking things back than adding things. The pacing of GW2's combat is way, way too fast for a mass-market audience to be able to play it competently, so moving back to something that's closer in speed to GW1 would help them a lot.

All those dumb ideas that GW2 had at launch like permanently making the UI incapable of reasonably targeting other players because "play the game, not the UI," not wanting to have party roles and then walking that back in the very first expansion, trying to be so precious with their class design that most of the familiar fantasy archetypes that people like to play either aren't in the game or aren't really viable. All that stuff makes group content massively unpopular in GW2 compared to how it was in GW1, and if they got rid of it GW3 wouldn't have to rely entirely on openworld blobs for content that people actually do.

Knowing ANet they'll probably just march themselves off a cliff trying to be the 400th failed MMORPG with "action combat," but I think their best bet would actually be to make it sort of "Guild Wars 1.5."

captain dwooid here

>>2214676
some builds I just think enchantment is more necessary, especially if you use any enchantments you can't maintain 100% but the enchanting wrap either gets you there or gets you really close
what I really need necro part for is bow.
>let's make a class where their main stat reduces the cost of their ranger skills
>okay, but how do we balance it?
>we make all their skills be 10+ energy while they have a 25 energy pool and 3 pips of regen

enchantments always get stripped and im sick of it

you know, after having experimented around with shortbows with experit focus, I end up not liking it as much as flatbow with read the wind. The extra range just trumps the energy management of expert focus, it's why I need a necromancer bow grip, so that I can just go with flatbow and read the wind.
I just don't want to buy one because my ranger is kind of a low priority character that has already done all the content (aside from WoC HM I guess)
so basically he just gets used for zquests and maybe shining blade bounties.

alright new mixed armor set

>>2214865
i use flatbows for long range harassment, shortbow when they get up close. both have the same rate of fire so the flow stays the same

Am I going to regret it if I roll a Melandru badge but NOT a reforged badge? Would they add some insane changes to reforged Factions and Nightfall? Fuck

>>2214936
you don't get the updated henchmen

>>2214936
i wonder when they will decide the reforged changes are sufficiently tested and roll them out to everyone

>>2214902
yeah but then something gets out of flat bow range (usually chasing a caster hero that is fucking running cause anet designed Hero AI so fucking bad) and my character wastes time running to get in range

Reforged only applies Ascalonian Chads, Canthan Gooks and Elonian niggers get nothing, as deserved.

I wish every class was balanced like warrior or monk

>of the assasin upgrade finally drops
>it is for wand
Thank you Guild Wars very cool

>>2215103
?

>>2215252
Centralized around~2 elites unless you're doing something very niche?

>>2215216
Canthans are Ascalonian-adjacent though

>Reforged skill cost retuning - To make it easier to acquire more skills, we are lowering the skill cost progression curve by roughly half and lowering the cap to 500 gold.
Is this change for only skill trainers in Prophecies or skill trainers across the whole game? Would be weird if only Proph skill trainers are cheaper and capped to 500g.

>>2215588
Clear limitations in mind, no/bad bar compression, made to function as part of a team, shitty primary stat
I want everyone miserable

It's been a while since we've had any longterm shitposter. Most people drive-by with some gay GW2 comment and leave.

canthans are honorary ascalonians

gooks are not honorary anything
yellow fever fags just want to okay their fetish

>>2215944
LOL

Outside of standing on rings and the final event, what is there to do during Canthan new year and is any of it worth doing?

>>2214134
Once I get a different job it'll be easier for me to run more guild events. Hard running stuff on 12 hour shift schedules. Next month I'm on day shift again so maybe I can try to finally pencil in that HM DoA full run I've been talking about for the last 2 months now lol

Also the GW3 cope in this thread is getting annoying. Yes the shareholder meeting in Korea ""accidently"" mentioned GW3 for no reason about a game not popular in asia, that doesn't even make up more than 5% of NCSoft's total yearly revenue (Not even largest PC game). Definitely total accident and not because they know something (even if you assume best case, why is anet seeking ncsoft approval for GW3?)

Those job applications for creating an unannounced MMO in unreal engine with "an existing IP" are totally not about anet's only IP, it's actually a totally different MMO like GW1 remaster, or maybe a GW2 remaster.

This yearly expansion release schedule people have hated and releases less paid content than people were getting for free? That's just the best anet can do, they're a small indie game studio after all, totally not working on another project behind the scenes because the studio has been desperately trying to work on something other than GW2 since PoF.

Unrelated, here's a job posting from 2 weeks ago for a senior writer narrative designer on their unannounced project

>The Senior Writer/Narrative Designer (Contract) is responsible for the narrative design of assigned game. Designs, writes, revises, implements, and/or edits the narrative of Guild Wars from smaller episodic events and systemic dialogue to the overarching, character-driven story.

I'm sure this is just them announcing the next GW2 expansion will be done in unreal engine. And it will have an overarching story.

Please fuck off back to your containment /vg/ thread and go cope over there.

Not much, lunar tokens are pretty profitable if you wanna do those quests. 1 stack of tokens is worth like 10e. (3 stacks of tokens = 1 stack of lunar fortunes which sell for 25-30e)

Any of you know how to disable a gamepad? Seems to be no option to outright turn it off. I can't idle in the boardwalk because GW registers me using my controller in other games and moves my character. ;_;

I blame you

>>2216738
HB as in healers boon, or HB as in healing burst? Both are pretty meta.

RoJ tends to be pretty meta too but I guess that counts as niche. Same with judgement strike. There's still a lot of very good monk elites, you just never see them because people meta slave and pugs demand UA so none of them have to worry about bringing a res (even though its a bad choice in many areas). Along with ST so there's no reason to bring prot.

Warrior has a ton of good elite options too the meta for it is even more open than monk. No idea what original poster on about you wanna know a class that has the shit end of the stick?

Paragon. Literally only 2 usable elites, no real player is going to run Incoming (and there's no way a pug team will accept their paragon playing incoming either). You are either HR, or you are Imbagon with Focused Anger.

>>2216798
>Imbagon with Focused Anger.
Soldier's Fury and Battle Rage work, too...

>>2216800
was just gonna say I prefer soldier's fury if not using cons, it's sustainable and it's downside is in aggressive refrain as well, while focused anger generates more adrenaline, it's also not sustainable without consets, so you lose out on some of that extra adrenaline over soldier's fury

and "Incoming" is used in some speed run builds where having constant IMS is more important than adrenaline gain during the boss fight, bogsc I've done uses it.
I also definitely used it in WiK's second to last mission where you're just running and have to keep NPC's alive.

But the point is still made that Para doesn't have many viable builds.
The entire motivation line is used by pretty much 0 people ever.

>>2216831
>while focused anger generates more adrenaline, it's also not sustainable without consets
wut
ive used imbagon as my go-to for 95% of content (dungeons and vanquishes and missions) without consets and it has not been a problem

>>2216831
Incoming is only used when SC people are too cheap to use cons. Birthday cupcake + Essence hit speed cap easily and cost very little, and if you are worried about cripple or slow hexes slowing your SC down by 5 seconds, rock candy can easily negate it. The only time to run Incoming in an SC comp is when you have a para but don't have the inner strength to ask them to run something other than a para because you feel bad for them.
