Lots of events are actually parts of overarching chains of events. In order to prevent people from ever "losing" an event, many events have a "Win" path and a "Lose" path, some resulting in mini-bosses or larger bosses depending on outcome.

I recently have been running around the Norn areas and one set of events involves needing to prevent some kind of ritual, then if that fails they build some kind of totem, followed by the opening of a set of portals to summon ice elementals, and then finally a Svanir Shaman shows up and creates a fairly large scale battle and lots of blizzard effects over a lake of ice. The overall key to spotting bosses is knowing which events lead to which other events in sequence and to know that a boss is at the end.

Another dumb one, but is it possible to raid a dungeon with people on another server yet? If so, how?

**solracht** · 2012-09-26 13:39

Patch-caused issues aside: Form a party, tell everyone to go to the area the dungeon is in, have someone step into the dungeon portal.

I don't know if there's a distance check for the pop up window. We always make sure everyone is close to the portal.

**Kiarax** · 2012-09-26 15:49

Just gotta be on the same map, distance doesn't matter.

I heard this game sucked complete donkey balls... Whats it like now? I doubt I'll give any game cept FF14 a 2nd chance seeing as First FF14, SWTOR and Tera all ended up a complete failure and went f2p.

**Aevis** · 2012-10-05 01:58

I don't think anyone posting here would say it sucks donkey balls, since we're still playing it. I'd also say that you get enough content for what you pay, even if you rush to 80 and quit. nobody can tell you if you will end up doing just that or continue to enjoy it. there's also no trial version available.

GW2 is so bad it already went F2P. Wait, shit...

For a game that costs $60 one time only this game has easily given me what I feel is several hundred dollars of value and I'm not even close to having done everything I want to do ... and yes, I'm having fun doing it. Contrast that to say Diablo 3 which I feel barely gave me $60 of enjoyment before I grew immensely bored.

Yes, GW2 has lots of issues going on for people who are grinding dungeons and certain high level content and even the various PvP modes depending on who you ask. Heck even a bunch of low level events are bugging out. But this game has such a huge amount of pre-level 80 content (that doesn't ever get old due to you leveling up) that I would still easily recommend this game to anyone even remotely considering getting it. My only advice ... don't rush to 80 if you pick it up. Aside from WvW, level means almost* nothing ... this game does not follow the standard MMO "nothing to do 1-79 ... everything is waiting for you at 80" model.

This is the kind of game where I log on, think "hey I see X on the map over there, I'm gonna go get it" .... then suddenly I realize its 5 hours later and wanderlust has led me across 3 zones and dozens of events that I actually had fun doing, only to realize I never got the thing I originally left town to get. That to me is pretty awesome even if one day this shit does eventually get boring.

leveling is actually too fast. I did leathercraft 275-345 yesterday and got 8 levels from that. now I'm 70 and haven't stepped into a 50+ zone except for getting the dragon waypoints.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-10-05 13:39

I'm confused how that's a bad thing.

**Corrderio** · 2012-10-05 14:54

Assuming I got this right, if I craft 4 items of the same prefix/quality in the mystic forge (Let's say for this example 4 Berserker's Greatswords of masterwork rarity) is there a possibility of ti's rarity being upgraded (In this case, from Masterwork to Rare)?

**Arximiro** · 2012-10-05 15:02

I tried doing that and I didn't have any luck, only tried a few times though.

**Wycor** · 2012-10-05 18:17

random question.. If i have two weapon with a rune that gives "power XX after kiling a monster up to 25 charges", I would get 2 differents stacks of charges? For example mystic axe

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-05 18:42

You can only have one stack of charges at any time. Even if you use a different sigil you can only get one (so if you have +power stacks, swapping to a weapon with +precision sigils would do nothing). As an aside you also can't stack 2 of the same sigil like Damage+5%, you'd only get +5% still even if you used two.

yes it possibly could go from green to yellow, though you have a higher pool of equal level items that its more likely to be transformed into.

Is this a recent change? I remember going into SPVP about 2 weeks or so ago with double Bloodlust sigils and getting 2 stacks per kill.

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-06 19:44

Oh my bad, yeah using 2 of the same sigil will give you 2 stacks per kill. What I meant was it isn't possible to have two different stats stacking.

**Corrderio** · 2012-10-06 22:46

So is there any good places to farm for Exotic/Rares? Only events I've seen them in other than map completion is Claw of Jorg and w/e that dragon is that spawns in Sparkfly Fen

**Prothescar** · 2012-10-07 01:16

craft them

**Arcana** · 2012-10-07 02:34

The events in cursed shore give alot of mobs for potential drops, need lots of magic find and alot of luck not hitting the DR cap.
