Did they ever state why they never will bring back Super Adventure Box? World 1 was awesome, but World 2 was a step in the wrong direction.

Phoix posted:Yeah, this was kind of crazy to me. I expected way more out of the weapon/armor sets for a full priced expansion. It felt kind of gross that they immediately had new sets in the cash shop. Honestly, this is part of what's been killing the game for me. The endgame is all about pretty princess dress up, but everything cool is either three years old or in the gem store. It's lovely.

Four observations that may or may not help people:
Personally, I aim for gold in: Beetle Feast, Wings of Gold, Drone Race, Salvage Pit (this one is SUPER easy, especially if you're the only one in there), Tendril Torchers, and the Ley-Line Run. I usually get silver in Sanctum Scramble, Floor Is Lava, and Bugs in the Branches. The other ones I haven't really bothered with. Skaazi likes Fallen Masks but that's locked behind Exalted 2 so I haven't really tried it. Getting gold in adventures is mainly figuring out the most efficient route with the most shortcuts possible, and once you get it once or twice it's usually pretty easy to replicate. Anyway this is a lot of words I hope it helps somebody

I can't find enough tendrils in tendril torcher to gold.

They're tricky. There are a bunch blending into the big vines lining the path beside the airship. If you like bug me today and I'll show you my route.

So is the mistward armour only available to revenants? I like it, but rev wasn't really my thing.

I would think that once you unlock it you can use it on any (heavy armor) character.

I've found the best way to stop a Druid from healing is to just 100-0 them. I recommend using a Chronomancer. http://gfycat.com/WelldocumentedAgedHoverfly

If you want good experience for the HoT masteries, try finding an organized Dragon's Stand map. Tons of veteran+ mordrem mobs spawn in each lane and there's good guides out there already to get the gist of what to do. That and the final boss fight in the map is pretty cool.

Hearts never bother me, but leveling my rev made me hate a good chunk of them, i think the adventures are meant to be there to give the feel of the hearts that are more then killing mobs and picking up items like the combat training in queensdale and the stealthing one in blaze edge, and the aventures are all well done and i enjoy them more then hearts.

You know what I want? I want GW2 to copy Destiny's "strike"-type mini-dungeons. It's almost what Fractals are, but clearly Fractals aren't worth putting actual work into, so let me give ArenaNet an idea that will require even less work. I'll call them "Missions." Basically, just make them strings of like 3-5 encounters, balanced for five players, ending with a cool boss fight. As long as each encounter is distinct and cool on its own, we don't really need more. And I say "encounter" because some of them can be mini-puzzles or jumping/gliding/bouncing challenges. Go ahead and reuse open-world areas and scale-up some reused Living World season 2 and HoT story boss mechanics (because some of those are really neat). Put a few of them in each zone. Give each of them like one skin that is a random drop and can only drop from that Mission, and then have them give some sort of currency we can use to buy ascended armor (so we can "gear up to raid"). I'd have a lot of fun with that, I think, and I imagine they'd take an order of magnitude less work than new Fractals or dungeons would. They don't even really need new voiced lines or anything. I just want some fast, fun 5-person stuff to do in HoT. Harrow fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Oct 31, 2015 |

Has anyone started crafting the new HoT precursors yet? Part of me hopes that the new legendaries will be less about gold. The expensive precursor crafting tells me that ArenaNet wants to keep the original legendaries primarily as shows of wealth, but maybe the new ones don't have to be.

The first books for the new legendaries aren't in game yet.

If you want a real lovely experience, do this, but crash during the very last boss phase, and receive no reward whatsoever, because the game makes no effort to keep track of your pre-crash progress.

Yeah if you are going to attempt this at all step one if turning all your settings down to the bare minimum. Step two is praying to the arena net gods you don't crash anyways. Step three is find a group and hope you can get back in your instance after crashing.

My friend invited me to a map that was gonna start the final DS meta-event. I got completion but didn't have enough crystalline ore to purchase the inscription. Who knows when I get the next chance to finish it!

Finished the storyline, last mission dragged a bit, although opening my Victor's Cache and not getting a vision crystal wasn't particularly great. Even if it was, despite the wording, RNG. Which it shouldn't be.

Finally got gliding and bouncing so the game is a little bit less of a pain, although I still ended up rage quitting when trying to do a story step and a mushroom bounced me straight up to an apparently immortal frog and I died a million miles away from the nearest waypoint. I'm sure I'll get back to it eventually but drat if this convoluted vertical map combined with the lovely mobs and sparse waypoint placement doesn't do everything possible to make me want to stop playing constantly. Here's a free tip Anet: inconvenience is not the same as challenge. Mad about games.

mind the walrus posted:I don't know if guides are even out for the Tyria points yet. Other than map completes I'm not even sure how you get them (and if you're doing precursor stuff you probably already map completed) Yeah, I'm not sure completing the maps actually gives them. I'll try to work on a higher level one to see what it does.

word of warning to all you goons who want to make one of the new stat set armors: a full set takes 1,200 flax seed so start saving it

Are any of the new stat setups cool? I've been as happy with my assassin's gear on scrapper as I was power rifle, so I haven't really looked into them. I did find some book to let me craft minstrel chest pieces in some ship wreck pod, though.

I did find some book to let me craft minstrel chest pieces in some ship wreck pod, though. Marauder's (Power, Precision, Ferocity, Vitality) and Viper's (Power, Condition Damage, Precision, Condition Duration) are both looking really good. Minstrel (Toughness, Healing Power, Vitality, Boon Duration) was popular in PvP until it was banned, afaik. They provide an interesting balance between the old 3-stat sets. Marauder's is basically Berserker x Valkyries, for example, while Viper's is great for hybrid builds. The added condition duration and boon duration on the other sets are really nice for some builds, too.
