You see, Mordremoth wasn't awakened at the end of season one. Well, at least not how we all thought. The sudden burst of magic from the drill hitting the ley line actually overwhelmed him and killed him. In a strange twist of fate, with both Scarlet and Mordremoth dying near the same time, Scarlet's soul rode the ley line to Mordremoth and her soul inhabited his body, saving him. Just like Jennifer Love Hewitt's boyfriend's soul moved to another dude's in the hospital when he died in that Ghost Whisperer show (don't look at me, my wife watched it). So, in HoT, we're just fighting Scarlet in a different body. Later, taters.

I just noticed they posted some new post-BWE3 dragonhunter changes. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/guardian/Dragonhunter-updates-post-BWE3-launch Highlights include giving spear of justice a pull and traps are now instant and give you boons when triggered. Fragments of faith is now a stun breaker as well.

Definitely preview it first before dropping any gold though. It does not disable facial hair, so if you have a manly norn beard, it clips right through it and looks terrible.

Liquid WXP is going away. You will soon be able to buy hero points in WvW which will auto-complete PvE hero points for you, so you can earn your elite spec in WvW. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/earning-hero-points-in-world-vs-world/ For the don't work from home crew: quote:Greetings, Tyrians!

Has there been any word regarding the missions to claim guild halls being gated behind masteries? If they aren't in the starter zone, I'd imagine you'd need basic hang gliding or some other mastery to get to the required zone. I was just checking one of the guild hall blog entries and it says "your guild will actually have to reach the ruins, which is an adventure in itself." That makes it sound like you need to make it there by foot versus getting a free teleport. Hopefully everyone has time to get the associated masteries by the scheduled claiming time if required.

Have you met the stealthing frogs that take you down in seconds yet? They're the best. Especially when you are doing an event with a whopping three people and it thinks the proper scaling is to spawn an elite and two veteran frogs.

I can see it now. Anet reduces the number of hero points required to fully unlock elite specialization (or something similar). The first few responses are "THANK YOU!!!!!" They are soon followed by "I already put X hours into your kitten gating mechanics and finding other players to complete these ridiculous jungle hero challenges. What do I get for already having done this?"

Wow, the final story mission is a real piece of work. One boss bugged out in my favor. The next boss was bugged out making it unable to be completed. After starting over, I finally got to the final boss. Too bad that bugged out numerous times putting objects you have to interact with in the middle of the sky, so I fall to my death trying to use them. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow or when there are patch notes about fixing the encounter.

BobTheJanitor posted:That Mordremoth fight is a buggy mess, eh? Twice through it and dying to bugs out of nowhere was enough for me. Trying to channel on those rifts (if they don't spawn in mid-air) while taking random damage from I don't know what, and every little bit of damage interrupts the channel bar again. The updrafts lift you, except when they don't. Braham (or maybe it was Canach) will shield you, except when they don't. And when some random poorly explained fight mechanic downs you, your NPC pals might res you... except when they don't. But there's no mid-fight checkpoint, so rewind 10 minutes and start over again! Speaking of NCPs not resing in that fight, I had quite a nail biter. After finally giving the last mission a shot after it being a buggy mess for me last week, I ended up getting knocked out of the sky during the final flying phase and falling off of the platform. I figured I was hosed, but the game teleported me back onto the platform in a downed state. Do the NCPs res me? No. Instead I'm dropping my heal symbol and spamming 4, hoping to come back. At this time it goes into the final phase and I'm about dead when the trash mobs come by. I managed to rally off one and pull off the victory a couple minutes later.

CLAM DOWN posted:True Shot is totally going to get nerfed I hope not. I don't play PvP, but I think people are just terrible. On the guardian forums, people had been asking for the root to be removed at the expense of losing damage because stopping in place is too big of a tell and everyone just dodges it. Then HoT launches and people are crying that true shot hits them too hard, nerf it, wah wah wah. I'm assuming these people are just terrible. Dragonhunter is the most fun I've had with my guardian in a long time. I hope it and other eite specs don't get ruined because of PvP balance. They should just split the skills between PvE and PvP if they believe something is such a big deal.

I'd just like if they replied to issues posted on their official forums. It seems like there are more posts of "Look what dev X said on this reddit thread" on the official forums than responses from devs on the official forums.

I enjoy the new zones, but I wish there was more variety to the event chains. If you go to an outpost, you're running the same event chain every single time. It would be nice if there were multiple chains or at least a few steps in the chain that picked from two possible events for at least a little variety. There's also the fact that it might be difficult to get higher tiers or complete metas when people get too burnt out. For the next expansion, I'd like to see at least a few regular zones. No phases of fancy meta events, just throw in a few zones to explore on my own time with plenty of singular events or chains like in the regular base Tyria zones. I also kind of hope we don't go after yet another elder dragon right away. After fighting modrem non-stop for a year an a half, I don't want to just move on to something like nothing but destroyers for a year and a half.

This is one case where I think roleplaying wouldn't be totally lame. "I am a mercenary hired by the Lionguard to kill so-and-so. I have 100G riding on this mission. If you can double their offer, I could look the other way."

If these changes are true, that blows. I wonder what the thought process behind it was.  Many servers have population issues. How can we ensure more people are in WvW during a match up? I know, let's make them create teams with a fixed number of players! Then when they sign in, they will feel obligated to play only WvW during the matchup, ensuring there are bodies in every map! But what about the casuals? Surely, they still want to experience WvW. If WvW doesn't matter to them enough to play it exclusively, they can go where the objectives don't matter either. 24/7 EoTM!

It's obnoxious that it displays constantly whether or not you have the person targeted unlike the other tags. I could see displaying it automatically in HoTM maybe, but I don't give a poo poo about seeing it when I'm out and about. But I guess they need to take every opportunity to remind people about esports because the banner on the load screens and event in the upper right of the screen aren't enough.

Trebuchet King posted:Is there a...map, I guess, or similar providing a nice route to round up enough (or as much as possible) of the mats for spiritwood planks/deldrimor ingots per day? I know for iron there's that canyon thing in the NW of Brisban but it'd be great if I could streamline, I guess, the process. For Iron, I just hit seven waypoints that have a guaranteed node close by. A couple of these spots occasionally have another rich node near them that you'll see on your way to the guaranteed one. The wiki will point you to the locations of the nodes. [&BEsBAAA=] [&BF4BAAA=] [&BMAAAAA=] [&BF0CAAA=] [&BKsAAAA=] [&BJMBAAA=] [&BGMAAAA=] For the platinum, there are a couple guaranteed spots in Mount Maelstrom that I hit (the one by the ruins w/ the priory dudes, and north of Mark II Golem/in the water), as well as the one in Timberline Falls (in the underwater cave by the skelk). With the iron and plat combined, that's more than enough to kick out a deldrimor ingot every day. Just pick up any iron/plat that's near you on your way between the waypoints as well. I actually made an app with all of the waypoints that I can just click them to copy them to my clipboard to easily paste them in a whisper to myself. If you don't get too distracted by soft wood and other things, you can knock all of these out in under twenty minutes.

SAB is returning a la Darkness Falls. Whichever server in your WvW matchup has the most keeps claimed gets access. This will be their plan to reinvigorate WvW. But seriously, they should totally rip off DAoC and add a Darkness Falls like PvP dungeon.

I hopped into WvW Saturday night and had some fun in the new maps. Maybe not as much fun as this guy though. Hopefully they don't screw it up too much. WvW was always a fun place to hop into back in the day. I think the new maps are fun and a nice change from the old ones. I don't think would hate on them so much if there was enough population to fill them. The whole guild alliance thing that was making the rounds sounds terrible though. Before doing anything that drastic, they should just look at weekly WvW participation per server and then lump the servers together into alliances.

Isn't the story that the game originally didn't have hearts, but they were added because initial testers were completely lost without the game telling them where to go? As in "Here, play our game without standard quests. Instead, dynamic events will happen around the game world that you can participate in! But where do I go??????????" It's amazing how dumbed down players and MMOs are these days. My first MMO was DAoC. There was no in game map. Horses in cities had specific destinations and you had to jump off mid travel to run to another town to get on another horse to your actual destination. Oh, you want to know what stats a piece of gear has? Right-click it, so a window appears with some basic info. Then hit Shift+I to get another window with detailed information. I played for months without knowing how to do that.

Generic Octopus posted:Sounds fun. Oh, it definitely was a pain in the rear end. I'm not saying I want those aspects back. I just think that over time games (of all genres) have gotten so hand-holdy that players expect it. You accept a quest in a Bethesda game and it tells you exactly what to do. There's an icon on the map of the person you need to talk to that moves around as that character does. If they changed that to a general circle on the map tell you the vicinity of the character, people would complain and just resort to GameFAQs instead of trying to find the person themselves. I have no problem with hearts existing. I just found the notion of people going into a game that totes not having standard quests/quest hubs and then feeling totally lost because the game isn't telling them what to do/where to go funny. If you don't know where you are supposed to go, just start exploring. That's what was done back in the day before NCPs had exclamation points over their head. You explored and found the content.

I miss the temporary content of season one. Sure, season two's permanent content was nice in the fact that you could experience it whenever, but I liked having something new to do every few weeks. I came back after my first break during the release where Scarlet's armies were attacking a zone every hour. Sure, lots of the content was just zerging a bunch of baddies down, but it was more fun than playing through a couple hours or solo story instances. If they had more frequent open world content, I'd be logging in all the time. I don't even care about getting my daily reward every day any more.
