the improvised weapon set is loving amazing

the sword is the bars of a broken window with the shards of glass still attached

the hammer is an anvil glued to a stick

the greatsword is a bunch of sawblades glued to a pole

I want that entire set and it annoys me that it's for claim tickets cause I don't have enough of them

The last tier for some of the Pact masteries is five million XP. Good luck with that now that dungeons are gone.

I jumped into the Halloween area cause I figured I could get xp and do the seasonal event at the same time then found out you can't gain xp for masteries in the Halloween area lol

ANET got this hero point stuff the wrong way round. People want to play the new specs in the new content.

Right now you play the old specs, finish everything then you get the new spec... with nothing for it to do.

Yeah I've been focusing on trying to get hero points to use my elite and I was pretty incensed when I managed to glider my way to a point that I guess is only supposed to be accessable through a burrow (since it's really low and the only way out is a burrow) and it didn't let me use it at all :geno:

I did an event in the first HoT area where you had to plant bombs at the base of a giant tendril while crashing helicopters fall all around you and it was cool as hell. The new areas all look and feel really cool I just really hate the overtuned enemies combined with the sparse waypoints.

So are there more Pact Tyria mastery points than are needed? Because if not that means if I want to get 100% masteries for Pact Tyria I have to buy the rest of season 2 that I don't have. :nallears:

I don't know about effectiveness but I'm at least having a lot of fun with it, just chopping things with an Axe and turning berserk mode on to chop faster. Also head butting to stun myself and punching people so hard they go flying backwards is great.

Make sure you dentists have been collecting the crystals from the guild hall ore node everyday, you'll be able to buy the new skins tomorrow from the trader.

Speaking of these crystals I got one the other day and just shook my head when I realised you couldn't deposit it in the bank storage tab so it's just sitting there eating space in my inventory. Glad the storage tab/wallet seems to exist solely so anet can forget about it whenever they add a new crafting material/currency.

Every now and then I consider crafting a precursor but then I 1) look at what the cost is for even the first part and get discouraged and 2) remember I can't even finish it because I don't have enough mastery points to get the last two precursor masteries and I can't be assed to go around and collect like 15 more Tyria points :geno:

Does anyone know how fast legendaries sell on the TP? I got a scepter precursor drop during the HP train yesterday and was thinking of crafting up the Meteorlogicus and selling it since I have a lot of the mats on hand already and it would get me like 3x more gold from a buy order than just selling the precursor. I was curious though how fast it would move if I put it up as a sell order since I could get even more gold doing that, but there's no point if they don't sell and it just sits there on the TP forever.

It's really loving stupid that the new guild buffs fall off and that you can have only one at a time

I don't get why they went from having them all on all to the time to how it is now

At the very least they could have made it so the buff you pick sticks around forever and not this sorta janky rear end implementation where it's just a 24 in-game hour buff, which is just long enough to not have to refresh it regularly but short enough it always ends up running out on me without me noticing :mad:

NEW HP TRAIN POLICY

Since it's been harder and harder to gauge interest and round up enough goons to actually run these lately, I'm going to put a new policy into effect: If you want to be in Tuesday's HP train, send me an in-game mail at Schpyder.2917 sometime on the preceding Sunday or Monday. That will give me enough lead time to just go ahead and say yea or nay when I log in on Tuesday (and update the MOTD to reflect), rather than sitting around in-game waiting for people to log and voice their interest or not.

I'm just going to assume you already figure I'm going to show up and thus I can be lazy and not mail you

Also send me a mail/steam message when it does/does not happen so I can know whether or not to login tia

An easier route might be getting an ascended backpack from one of the vendors in Bitterfrost/Lake Doric/Ring of Fire/Bloodstone Fen. Not sure who sells what but they're ascended and you can pick vipers.

Time to grind a bunch of unbound magic I guess

Anyone now I'm legit curious as to what you have to do to get an exotic Vipers backpack if it's just easier to get an ascended one instead. Also on metabattle it mentions for condition builds you have 1 Sinister ring and armour piece. What's the reason for the 1 Sinister piece?

You have to if you want an HoT legendary. Also, yeah, precursor crafting is an expensive trap. Anet calculated how much materials it takes to craft them based on how much each precursor was selling for at the time, so the requirements are all over the place instead of being standardized in a sensible way. Also the second collection can go gently caress itself, it's just a giant mat sink that adds nothing worthwhile to the process.

(also their solution to "precursors are too expensive" was "precursors are just as expensive only now they're giant material sinks too", because actually making them cheaper would make the TP barons go e-flaccid so they couldn't possibly do that).

I mean I knew they purposely made them expensive so they'd be similar to TP prices but it's hilarious to me that they based the collections on the prices at the time instead of just standardizing the prices or anything, basically defeating the purpose of having precursor crafting in the first place

A new player should avoid HoT like the plague. It's fine after you unlock all of the masteries, but it's got a super steep learning curve overall. And when the new xpac launches, it's probably going to be a giant pain in the rear end because all the maps require huge zergs to do the metas, and the masses will likely move on to the new content. poo poo, I tried to do dragon stand 3 times this weekend (Friday and Saturday afternoons) and each time the maps were dead and no lfgs to be found.

That's a shame; I've been meaning to do some DS to knock out some mastery points but never got around to it because multi-hour metas that are on a strict schedule suck when you only have limited time to play. Also just lol at having to schedule when I play the game around when the map metas happen over something like Silverwastes where I can just jump in at any time.

Skill 5 - go prone and stealth. Locked in place but can dodge. Get extra (huge) range on weapon skills and double projectile speed.
Skill 4 - nuke skill with very high damage. If it hits you can shadow step backwards.
Other skills rip boons.

F1 - becomes targeted Mark. Builds malice every second. Traits and skills interact with malice.

Gets cantrips.

I'm super boring so this is extremely my poo poo and I would like to know more

Anyway here's hoping they learned from HoT and the launch isn't a giant mess that drives a ton of people away; most of the people I used to play this game with who quit because of HoT's launch are finally playing this game again.
