TwoQuestions posted:I just rolled an elementalist for wvw, as people keep calling for static fields and water fields on doors and the like, and I love it. I got more bags with my lvl 20 ele than I generally do with my 80 grenade engineer with full exotic Rampager's, and I was more able to heal/cleanse people attacking doors while under AC fire. You can buy the recipes on the trading post, search Recipe: Celestial Exalted to get a list of all the light armor ones. Last I checked they were the most expensive, although the price might have dropped since they are nerfing crit damage which will make Celestial gear far less appealing than it currently is most likely. If you really want bags from WvW zerging, roll a necro or guardian. weinus fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jan 23, 2014 |

I'd probably get the infinite gathering tools for my alt once they come back, they're that good. Don't really see the point in the salvage machine though.

I salvage all of the time and get annoyed every time my mystic kit runs out even though it is 250 uses. That plus I need to find more reasons to throw money at anet every now and then because otherwise I feel like a cheapskate. Plus robot noises! I wasn't aware it did that until today. I think that is what is pushing me over the edge beyond always wanting one regardless. Oh and the infinite tools are account bound now btw so if you already have some for your main you don't need to buy any for your alt.

I think I have been converted to casual eSports player. I jumped in on my Guardian and have been having a blast with Hammer/Staff 0/5/30/30/5. Best part for me is that I can jump in with limited time and just get straight to killing things. Not all rounds are awesome, but at least I'm having fun! Now, was there an eSports list that someone had going? Because I want to be on it. I can only imagine it's more fun with goons. (Aside from the part where I tried killing a Ranger from SFD the other day and barely made a dent. That was just embarrassing.)

After a while you get sick of the same maps and only one game mode, the pvp itself is fun but what they have is so drat repetitive it is not viable long term entertainment.

I'd get better value out of the salvage-o-matic and the Royal Pass if there was an easier way to share items between characters. I can never remember to put it in the bank before logging out and fetching it again which I switch to another alt.

It's just nifty as Black Powder in letting you pour damage onto something. Ice bow is also useful because skill 5 is a long lasting stun and skill 4 does a good deal of damage. I had no problems leveling my ele to 80 by exploring the map instead of grinding group events with a zerg in this manner.

So I've fought the cobalt and crimson wurm heads now, and it seems like crimson must be the easiest of the 3 just based on the fact that the amber one's HP never even goes down.  Cobalt seemed like far too much of a clusterfuck, but I tried it on patch night so it's probably marginally better now. We had about 40 people on an overflow tonight and got the crimson head's HP down to about 50%. To kill it we might have needed any of the following a) everyone in ascended berserker (or at least not greens) b) perfect might stacking c) twice as many people d) all of the above I'm eager to try amber and become incredibly angry at whatever goes on there.

So, BG managed to get all three wurms down, but then they had to take down the decapitated wurm heads in two minutes time. Normally, this would be easy, except the heads flop around and can't be immobilized. I'm sure there is probably a pattern to where they land, but that is yet another obstacle you have to overcome. Overall, I'm kinda impressed by how long this is taking and how much is involved, but making the megaboss just another group of wurms is a big waste of artistic talent and creativity.

I don't know, I haven't compared them side by side, but my impression has been that the new wurm models are somehow slightly redesigned from the old ones, beyond the colors. I might be wrong. Somehow the experience seems very fresh to me, maybe just because I've never seen such chaotic PvE. Yakety Sax would be appropriate if it wasn't so worn out.

sound_again posted:So I've fought the cobalt and crimson wurm heads now, and it seems like crimson must be the easiest of the 3 just based on the fact that the amber one's HP never even goes down. Cobalt's the easiest, I think. It was a bit harder patch night, due to a bug, but it was still probably the easiest then if you understood it (Cobalt was the first one TTS downed). Amber is definitely the hardest. Step 1) Kill a special Risen Abomination that leaves an AoE Step 2) At least 20 people need to get a special debuff from that AoE Step 3) At least 20 debuffed people need to stand in a spot with a red arrow, to get eaten by the wurm (I had problems with this step for reasons I didn't understand) Step 4) Inside the wurm, you need to pick up a speargun from a skeleton (this is hard if you don't know what's up because there are 20-30 people crammed in a small area so you may not even see it), and use that speargun to shoot a sphincter to get vomited out of the wurm Step 5) After being vomited, your speargun is left with a single shot, which you must fire at the wurm. Make sure you don't get downed! (I somehow lost my speargun without getting downed, I don't know why) Step 6) After 20 people shoot the wurm, it's a burn phase
