Guild Wars 2 : Random Question Thread

Great, thanks!

In the end everything WvW related depends on your server and who you are up against. Unless somebody is from the server all they can do is share their unrelated experiences with you since yours will bee 100% different

Capping supply camps (not with a zerg) almost always gets you 2 badges from the Supervisor. Your tier may be different, but usually defense is the quickest way to get a lot of badges. Nothing quite like manning a cannon and being surrounded by bags of loot. But you'll need enough people on defense to actually kill anyone if you want to get badges, etc.

Based on http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Command_line# I have mine as "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArenaNet\gw2.exe" -testVerticalFov -bmp, but my screenshots are still taking as jpg. What am I doing wrong? :/

[Corrderio]

Is there a site anywhere that lists logging/mining/gathering nodes?

I don't know about the bmp, but you can leave the -testVerticalFov out. They included it into the game a few patches ago.

they change every reset. their may be a map maker for ori/ancient logs on your server, but aside that you gotta make your own

That should be helpful. Right now I'm trying to stock up on crafting crap so I can get my weaponsmithing leveled.

I think my best haul for one run is 60 orichalcum ore. Feels like cheating that i can do that per character.

[Arcana]

Yeah it seems alot but when you take into account the price and how much time you spend per character it's not that great, takes me about 1-2hrs depending on placement per day doing it across 3 characters. working on a 4th character now and its going to get to the point where its only worth while doing sound & southsun each day because the rest of the time could be spend running a dungeon/fractal and making far more in return.

[Alderaan]

Takes me longer on 2 but i mine and chop everything.

[Arcana]

I try to specifically target Ori/Ancient only, occasionally i'll get sidetracked, but tbh i have one of those sites that has the maps of all the nodes listed so i work out an efficient path everytime theres a change. avoiding nodes buried within jump puzzles saves a hell of alot of time.

I think that was the issue, I don't remember seeing that update, thanks

I've never ran a dungeon before in GW2 and I'm looking to start Fractals soon for the Monthly. I currently play a Thief, using a condition spec with mostly rare (might upgrade to exotic soon) Carrion gear and D/D + SB setup for pretty much everything. For the Thieves that have ran fractals or people who have ran with successful thieves, do you have any tips or recommended specs?

Edit: Blah, posted in the wrong topic. I meant to post this in the class discussion. Oh well, I think it still works here.

If you read guru or official forums, most thieves will tell you to go full glass cannon burst build. I personally hate playing with glass cannons because i end up rezzing them every pull, especially thieves.

I personally run a balanced build with S/P + SB. The blind from S/P is invaluable for certain areas.

There is value in having full Berserker's gear to use on easy shit, but make sure you also have another build/set of armor ready.

I'm gonna be trying this build soonish: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User.../Thief/Acrobat I want to get full berserker's gear first before I change the runes on my current set of armor to use that build.

Do I have to rezone for a jump puzzle's chest to reset? Or can I camp it and wait for it to reset after the 24 hour peroid?

EDIT: Got my answer. Just reset by me.

Really? This is new... at least the WvW puzzle chests require you to leave the area far enough for it to "unload" in order for it to reset.
