Guild Wars 2: Post-Release Discussion

[Kiarax]

You can. It's a bit convoluted to set up but you can set up different playlists for different times. Combat, overworld, underwater, etc.

[NotGreyheim]

So my world (Dragonbrand) has been paired with Isle of Janthir (NA reddit world) and Maguuma (Goon Squad world) since yesterday. What a clusterfuck.

[Rhyis.]

Feels good man. Maguuma enjoying shit all day long.

[Kuya]

Is there any way to observe WvW scores outside of the game?

[Rhyis.]

I wish. That'd be awesome.

[Tagus]

I'm just hoping they get some of the outstanding issues sorted. They handled everything so well leading up to release, but it's crunch time now that the game has gone live. Every day that goes by with glitches, trading post issues, gliched mobs and quests, etc... is one day later that they can get to working on the stuff they want to implement in the future updates, like the player dedicated housing or guild halls.

They indicated that we will be able to not only see scores but map status outside of game eventually. This was all part of their initial promised mobile app, so it will be a wait and see thing for us now. However, once things are up and running, it would stand to reason we will see web-based sPvP, WvW and PvE achievement leaderboards as well as WvW match maps. There are a lot of little things I wish were in the game/available online these are things that we will definitely see. Even if its through third party usage of a first party API.

100% truth

[Arximiro]

Is there a way to view all the shit you have for sale on the trading post? I have a lot of shit that isn't showing and there is no next or anything to view it.

Got to 80 yesterday, where do I find decent gear for a level 80? All Karma vendors I see (running around Ruins of Orr) sell shitty blues and greens for like 800-1k karma which are way worse than the stuff I get from doing the main story quests :/

[Eanae]

Exotic karma gear is 42k and shows up when you own shrines. Each shrine has its own set. Other than that, craft or start saving up tokens from explorable mode dungeons. The 78 exotic set should be fairly cheep and decent enough until you can get 80 exotics.

[Kiarax]

Can also check the karma merchant in WvW. Speaking of, anyone looking for a decent weapon whilst leveling should check there too. It sells blues, greens and yellows for your level range (stock changes every 5 levels). So when you hit 50 you can grab a 50 yellow, 55, 60, etc.

This is also a good vendor if you need some vit on your gear (somethign I was lacking for a long time). Most of the gear has power + vit.

My Peeve about PvE

Trash is way over tuned, bosses are tank and spank, instance servers are constantly fucking up and bosses only drop blues and a shitty rare if you are lucky. The fact you have to farm over 1500 seals to complete a set, bearing in mind you only get about 60-100 per full run (thats all three paths fully cleared which take an 2h+ each) and that's if you find a group that are willing to farm them..

Didn't they say you get rewarded with a piece of that tier set after completing an explorable path? Cause all you get right now is a chunk of EXP which is useless beyond 80 and like 10 seals lol

Don't get me wrong, I do not expect exotics to be handed to me nor do I want them to be but you've gotta admit that's something ridiculous... I realize this is a PvP game but thanks for the giant turd you just gave the PvE community.

[Celeras]

I pretty much disagree with everything you just said. Most of the bosses I did were anything but tank and spank, and I've never even seen an instance problem. Trash is fine, if you have issues outside of the learning experience in AC then you probably need to play better.

Not to mention that chunk of EXP is pretty damn useful when you need 300 skill points for legendary purchases, and the game has a built in merit system.

[LidenbokValour]

You've not done many instances, or any explorables obviously. Are you saying you've never experienced people getting put on to other overflows, instance not entering some members in the same instance as you? Trash is not fine. 90% of explorables trash is far more enaging/difficult than any of the bosses. Go do CM Explorable where trash takes some strategy and bosses stand still picking their ass.

AC trash is fuck all on Explorable trash, just saying. And I've cleared AC plenty of times and other explorables.. I did not say I found them difficult. It does not take a genius to notice trash should not be harder than the actual bosses. Theres only a few bosses I have experienced that have a unique tactic to them and those where fun I do admit. But others are just zombie fests where you are throwing yourself at it until it dies.

Just sayin' PvE needs a lot of work.

[Kiarax]

They're pretty clearly tank and spank. Only everyone is the tank, and you're all getting spanked.

[Rhyis.]

Not since day 1-3 launch. The Join In command seems to be completely fixed. If people aren't getting in the right instance, they don't know the Join In feature.

Uhh... I've only been leveling and doing the main story, what are those shrines, and where do I get them?
