Guild wars 2 path of fire thread


I just finished the HoT story and working my way through season 3. I've got an 80 revenant and Mesmer, working on a ranger wise currently in the 50s.

Anything worth getting on the gem store? I picked up a copper fed salvage o matic for ease of use and just keep it in one of the shared inventory slots.

What's a good way to get gold? I've just been salvaging what I find and selling mats on the trading Post.

Rytlock is voiced by steve blum isn't he?

You might end up getting better prices by putting gear you get as drops on the AH depending on what it is.
>>
>>386033491
Most of the gear I've had drop is worth under 1 gold, though I've gotten a couple worth over. Gold seems a lot more rare than other MMOs I've played, like with WoW in a couple weeks you can make a few thousand gold and sustain your sub from it right off the bat.
>>
>>386033361
>one of the shared inventory slots.
Is this a slot that is shared between all the characters on your account?
>>
>>386033361
infinite gathering tools, bank space, extra bag slots
>>
>>386033896
Yes, I got one for "free" with each expansion and you can buy some in the gem store. Up to a Max of 17 I think.
>>
>>386033729
Yeah, GW2 hasn't really had any major inflation since the start of the game thanks to gear never getting any better since the game launched, and the global auction house.

No, people do, but you can run through entire leveling zones and never see another soul. Unless something is tied to a daily activity, it's empty.

Alright, since I'm a niggardly cunt I only have 5 character slots to start out with but I'm quite happy with the setup I have right now.

>>386036125
There are still dungeons, and people do still run them occasionally, but they are one of anet's red headed stepchildren - they haven't been looked after for a long time, and probably won't ever again. Only worth doing them for the unique dungeon skins.

You'll still find a lot of people doing the vanilla stuff but you need HoT for the current endgame, Raids, Fractals, HoT meta, LS3 maps.
>>
>>386036125
Dungeons have been replaced by Fractals which are mini dungeons with increasing difficulty, there are 100 fractal levels and 17 different fractals.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractals_of_the_Mists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGZPSBod6d4

You can find people to run the vanilla dungeons but it's mostly going to be low level new players, the dungeons are very hit or miss and actually super hard when you have zero knowledge. They're just relics from release time when the devs had no idea how to make their combat system work.
>>
We need more information on the new elites. They all seemed boring except for rifle thief. I was hoping ranger would be able to turn into an animal but got my hopes crushed.

Obviously we don't know til PoF comes out, but how are Warriors in PvE/PvP as a whole?

Yo my dude, just gotten back into the game.

Dailys are a decent way of making gold.3/3 daily is ez gold, can get it in two or three sPvP matches and I think in WvW (Yet to try WvW)

Fractals are pretty good too! Lots of lewt in them fractal boxes.

Core Gem purchases would be just bank space IMO, everything else is just for a touch of convenience

Absolutely nothing has been done to address your concerns.

However, they did add heaps of new costumes, heaps of new bosses to zerg, heaps of new areas to zerg through, and even a glider system that is intrinsically linked to their cash shop.

This is a good MMO and we must be excited about this.

I am still baffled at the fact there is no way whatsoever to get any glider skin ingame besides taking out your credit card.

You can get like 3 glider skins in-game (besides the RNG ones in the BLC chests) without using gems, but yeah, unless you farm a lot and get gems with gold, most of your options are limited to the store.

We're essentially playing someone's awful fan fiction that couldn't be published anywhere else.

I'm just saying that to me that's the lazy way out. Instead of having a nice reward for a quest or even having to work out to obtain something, you just grind a bit, convert to gems and pop, cool shit appears out of nowhere.
It kills any value an object can have. You never ask "damn, where did you get that nice gear?" in this game, because the answer is always "lol fgt, I bought it in the gemstore"

The problem with the game is everything is so black and white and shallow.

It's literally almost always "IM THE BIG BAD GUY FUCK ME"..

"I will stop you, big bad guy! Because IIIMMM the HEROOO"

"I am a dog and i hate the human for being a coward"

"I am a human and I hate the dog because it is a dog".


annnd CUT. Great scene guys, we developed the characters really well, and I feel we told a good story. Rinse and repeat every every season, every year.


I mean where's the orphan's from these wars that are living by themselves in a haunted wood?

Where's Logan's mistress that he killed out of shame and burried in some inhospitalable place so that the queen won't ever find out.. that's now a ghost wanting revenge on him?

Where's the storyline about the down-syndrome having Asura that wants to compete but simply can't and the player gets to make a decision and a quest-line exploring euthanasia, abortion and pro-life?

Where are the actually good storylines? These are things I'm literally pulling out of my ass in 5 minutes of thinking and they seem better than 99.9% of what this fat whore has come up with in a full time job for the last 4 years.

It's a crapshoot DESU. I wouldnt risk it.

20 bucks for HoT is about as low as you. An expect to see it for a while, I wouldn't expect a sale or price decrease until the holidays/after PoF drops.

I wonder if they would have gotten less pushback if they spun the expansion as coming with HoT and being priced at 49.99, with an option to buy the expansion alone at 30. It's exactly the same deal, but phrased in such a way that puts it as HoT coming with the expansion, and owners of HoT getting a discount.

There was serious inflation for about a year, when people could farm 5-mans and make a hundred gold a day for an hour or two of work.

When HoT dropped they brought in an economist who proceeded to gut the economy, gut all gold sources, and impose gold sinks in as many systems as possible to deflate the economy and drive gem sales.

Crystal Sands (targeted) (not in water) 0.25s C 20s R

Deception. Draw in shards of crystal sand that confuse foes they pass through on their way to your targeted location. The shards form a Mirrage Mirror upon reching their destination.

Damage: (6x) 636
Confusion: 1 stack (duration?)
Range: 900


So the enemy at the very center of the target will get hit by all 6 shards and get 6 stacks of confusion? Cool.

Reaper condi is going to get nerfed you know. It's obvious that the Scourge is supposed to specialize in condi. There are already food nerfs to balance out the new specs coming in next expansion.

But yes as of now Condi does more dps than power reaper but you must have incredible uptime in all your conditions and be able to dance around multiple cooldowns. Whereas a power reaper you can just spam a few buttons for big results

No it's not. GW2 has actually had DEflation for a while now, so the devs added a bunch of gold to the economy, like 2 gold for finishing a 10 minute daily achievement. After 2014, GW2 had basically no inflation.
>>
>>386052963
It's not big results though. Even of you go the old build with Scepter/Dagger + Scepter/Dagger and Curses/Blood Magic/Reaper you will pull more dps than Power ever will.

The only worthwhile items in the gen store are the infinite tools and bank slots.

How to make gold? Farming fractal level 40 and sell the boxes you get is the best way . If you can't into that then you can farm silverwastes loot train which can be accessed by f2p players. If you want a little more variety you can farm the repeatable dungeon achievement. I think it requires six different dungeon paths to be cleared then it gives you 10 gold and a 150 tokens-of-your-choice box.

I got the game from some chinese guy back when it launched and it was pretty crappy.

I will! It will be nice to be kind to people as part of my roleplaying as a heroic character, the kind of person we should all aspire to be.

F2P lets you play half of the base game, while locking you out of some features, to prevent free accounts from harassing and playing the AH. You have to buy the expansions to play and unlock any of their content, and in doing so, you also get the full base game with each one.

You'll genuinely have a hard time finding places that dont have people running around, unless you happen to zone into a dead instance (upon which the game will pop a little window up asking if you want to migrate to a more populated instance of that zone.)

I cant decide the game's value for you, but there's worse ways to spend 50 bucks (or 30 if you just want the new shit). There's a free open beta weekend coming next Friday, give it a shot and see for yourself.

I disagree with this post.

Top three hardest classes to play efficiently are elementalist, engineer and Mesmer.

>>386057491

im glad you did but consider this. Boths ele and engi arent hard to play since their rotations are rather simple. I mean, mashing most damage dealing skills off cooldown as in engis case, or mashing f3 switching to f1 or f2, landing a crit and mashing f3 again ad infinitum isnt exactly difficult brain-wise. In the case of warrior you need when to engage, disagage, keep your distance, switch weapons to cleanse etc etc its a quite difficult balancing act as compared to the ele. mesmer has the most difficult rotation out of all classes. revenant is just batshit and thief is mash skill 2 on sword to win the game or do your gay man dagger bs or stuff spam or whatever fuck thieves

I didn't know he was there so he must really not stand out. I didn't do any fractal since the new Lion's Arch though.

I played GW2 at launch for about 6 months with a friend, he had been playing GW1 for around 6-7 years and I played it for about 100-200 hours.

Alright. I don't have hours and hours to play gw2 anymore but I have a level 80 mesmer and she's my only character. But I wanted to start a new character. Thinking elementalist.

What is my fastest way of leveling up without the level 80 booster? What about without mind numbing boredom?

>>386069107
don't you get guaranteed boost when you get the xpac?
>>
>>386069528
>>386069107
You also get smaller level boosts as birthday gifts
>>
>>386069107
Playing variety. PvP and WvW both have reward tracks. You don't have to be good to proceed, although if you're actually good in pvp you'll be earning shit faster. Reward tracks give tome of knowledge (1 level /book). Logging in daily = login rewards and I think a couple of them grant XP or the tomes.
Doing story quests in batches. It prevents you from getting bored of the story, and gives you a break from pvp/wvw.
You should have birthday boosts on your character if you've had them long enough. Activate them on other characters for nice bonus XP. You might be able to find cheap xp foods on the market so using them will be a little nice addition.
Do some story dungeons, they give nice XP.
If you come across an event that seems small, do it.

In general though, basically the only way to prevent burnout is to not speed level. Play a variety, and you'll reach max pretty fast.

You get 1 with pof, and 1 with hot if you don't already have it.

Yep. The bucket thing is cute too. And the mechanic they introduced with the map is fun.
I love Lake because they did a really great job thematically with it. Feels like a core tyria map, but definitely doesn't act like it. Fastest dailies were nice, and also dat leather farm. I also really love the backpiece the map offers. I can understand why some don't like it, it's definitely not as eye catching as Blood is.

It's not intense in this game. As long as you aren't getting cc'd by high level mobs, you can roam freely.
It's not the best XP, but map completion helped me appreciate the scenery a bit more. I'll never do it ever again though, at least not until mounts lmao

I think that last 3 chapters are pretty good, story starts to shift towards something interestng and does not focus on sjw guild, only relevant character left from them is taimi since braham is gone, charr was never relevant, kasmeer is just too retarded to comprehend events. I hope whoever took story now will shift more and more into gw lore instead of interactions between them

The story has gotten better, but I don't think it's worth paying for them. Watch them on youtube or something to catch up if you feel the need. The rewards were pretty nice though, but again I only think so because I bothered to log in every once in a while to get them.

For anyone else in thread, even if you don't have the xpacs, make sure to log in after every LS update. You unlock the episodes and save the money until you decide to get the xpacs.

Oh, and Episode 6 is still active so log in!

You literally need HoT to unlock S3 content. I still think it's dumb that they get locked under a paywall since how little content HoT shipped with.

Nah, without HoT it's unlocked granted you log in, you just can't play it. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Season_3
I think it should come default with every HoT purchase, especially now that PoF is out, it'll be a way to easily pad out content but oh well.

Somebody redpill me on this, is it worth getting now that it's like 30 bucks for vanilla+PoF? Is Heart of Thorns worth a buy too?
>>
>>386072792
It depends, I think that 2 months of time is enough to play through HoT but if it is worth it? I can't advise on that. Only thing that will be relevant still from HoT will be elite specs which are quiet nice since they alter a bit the way you play your class and give you access to one more weapon type

Only you can answer whether or not an MMO is worth it. Sorry m8, but it's one of those things where some people just can't vibe with MMO, in their case even if an xpac is $5, it's not worth.
If you've been playing vanilla and like the game, yeah it's a great deal - the price of HoT at launch for HoT+PoF.
You'll probably want to get HoT anyways for the masteries like gliding which is used in Raids for instance, and for the elites - but most people are going to be playing PoF elites around launch anyways due to it being new.

I assume you mean the Nuhoch Wallows, which are completely useless if you have waypoints or rather waste a couple extra minutes running or gliding to places.

Depends what you liked most about ritualists. For example engi turrets are basically spirits, they were even used for a super popular farm in gw2 just like ritualists were used a lot for farming shit. But, I suspect most rit players won't actually enjoy engi.

I was hoping we'd get a Togo legendary for the Revenant to scratch my Rit itch.

Ex WvW commander here. WvW was meant to be a large scale pvp, not pve.

Also, Scarlet is a marysue bitch.

The average person isn't going to hit the weekly cap, and so the time gated thing is just to stop there being a massive discrepancy between people who can and cant play more than 8 hours a day give or take.

The materials required are really REALLY standard given what it does, and there are way easier ascended backpacks you can get for like 1/7th the amount of effort, you just need to get one for every spec you plan on running.

So yeah, for a super 100% cosmetic piece of armor, it takes a bit.

Very important question please respond!

For those of you who enjoy Guild Wars 2, what do you actually do in the game? What do you start doing once you log on? How do you spend your in game time? I really need to know.
>>
>>386082223
>what do you actually do in the game?
Mix of things. pvp, wvw, dailies, gathering, crafting, fractals, fashion wars, and when guild has free spot some raiding. If there's a LS episode, I usually play that week of its release, and then go through it again for the rewards. Once in a blue moon I feel like being a cunt so I'll run an HP train or do a beginner-ish zone map completion.
BTW I don't take any of the above super seriously. If I get bored, I just stop playing. Which is this game's strong suit I feel due to no sub fees. If anything I just need to log in once every 3ish months.

I get what you're saying, and when it first came out I started trying to get the WvW backpiece. But honestly the people who are going to get it are the people who actually WvW for the sake of WvW more than anything. People have absurdly high WvW levels as it is, levels that take hundreds and hundreds of hours. To them, the grind is the game, and thats how it should be.

Normal rewards, titles, things like that are for the average person who wants to dabble to get. But grinding out the absolutely top tier reward for WvW is gonna take approx 2 months.

you get some hero points, go into the hero menu panel, go to one of the tabs, and at the bottom there should be an unfilled "Reaper" bar. Spend your hero points to unlock and then equip it in the trait menu, and then also unlock the rest of the skills
unless you're in pvp in which case you don't have to unlock anything just set it as a traitline

Yep. Even moreso if you're an autist that just likes seeing a bunch of numbers float on the screen due to all the damage ticks (like me).

The Golems barely had to move, and the link of portals allowed us to flip things very quickly. Largely redundant now, but it was fun as fuck. Most servers I've seen do janky Portalling, where the golem sits at the portal waiting for the mesmer to hit max range.

Our way was more efficient, by going backwards with the chain, so Golems reach a portal, enter another portal ready for it. Crossed huge distances really fast.

The guild has been dead for years now.

Yes. The Mursaats and White Mantles are in play again. If anything the recent stories heavily reference GW1 base game and soon you can access Elona in the expansion.

How's this character?

I can't decide what to play.

I have an Elementalist at 73 and this Revenant at 14. I'm gonna boost one or the other, can't decide. I don't like boosting lowbies, and I think I might just pop the Ele up for the bonus shit.

I want to go full-autist completionist mode on one character, but I can't decide who to do it on. Elementalist is good, but I'm not really feeling the class. I'm sick of alts and just want to main something permanently.

Do you want these fucks to write a Cantha story?
>>
>>386095047
I'd recommend maining an Elementalist since they're pretty versatile at what they can do due to having access to all four elements at any time, which means owning more than 1 set of armor and weapons, each with different stats, is important. They can pull off a decent tank and healer, and excels in DPS.

Revenant gets gutted over and over and Heralds usefulness has been taken over by Chronomancers.

Go bald or go home.

According to the trailer, Joko is still in rule to the point that some human peasants think that he's the rightful ruler.

Say what you want about GW2 but holy fuck there's so much to do in it. Beat HoT (which was mediocre at best, I'll admit) and working on Living Story 3 which is surprisingly great.

Each chapter has a whole new zone attached to it, so there's 5 brand new zones after HoT and the new Path of Fire expac is bringing back the crystal desert.

At this point they've got to be running out of places to put new zones when you look at the entire map. it's amazing

White Mantle are already back to being unimportant, unfortunately. A year ago a story mission came out where they came back as the enemy only for them to be defeated by the most recent story mission released last week. We killed their leader (Caudecus Beetlestone) and they fucked off to the part of the world we don't have maps for (Isles of Janthir).
We haven't actually gotten to Elona yet, as it's in the expansion coming out in September. Trailer says Joko is still there, Sunspears are unknown, but they have been name dropped in different expansion-related things.

>>386096162
A chance to get ascended equipment from doing dailies (You do high level fractal dailies and you get all of the chests from each tier of dailies)

Higher count of earned fractal relics

Loot variety is usually high-end tier

One of the best ways to earn money in terms of PVE contents pretty much. Doing it daily can easily earn you lots of golds by the end of the week.

Isles of Janthir are most likely since they decided they just had to make the White Mantle relevant again, and their last known movements was going back there as of the newest living story crap. Probably won't be until third expansion, if this game survives that long, or LW season 5 if they double up one season right after another. I assume S4 will be in Elona somewhere, following POF's story.
>>
>>386097097
Balthazar was betrayed by someone, presumably the other 5 gods, who left him weakened. We don't know why yet.

Considering that Balthazar is the bad guy for staying on Tyria, the Gods presumably have a good reason to stay in the Mists. Probably has something to do with not interfering against the dragons, considering they seem to destroy Tyria whether you leave them alone or kill them. Lose lose situation.
>>
>>386097097
Something, we aren't told what, started fucking with Balthazar at some point and made him so angry he came back to Tyria to start stealing Bloodstone and Dragon magic to refill his magic meter that was being drained from him.
No other gods are back that we know of yet.
Nothing about Kormir

Ok downloading as we speak. The human gods from guild wars 1 were some of my favorite aspects of the lore so I kinda want to play through this now.

>>386097097
No explanation for that Kormir bit I think but Balthazar is just incredibly pissed off that the "other gods had somehow took all of his powers" and he's been meaning to gain it back by eating all the dragon powers or something like that. He's not necessarily full blown evil, he just doesn't care for mortals anymore and will do anything to get his powers back.

Funnily enough, Balthazar worshipers are overjoyed by this and some are going as far as joining him on his quest.

>>386097175
It doesn't take that long to reach level 80 and getting the skill points for Herald, you'd have nothing to lose anyways since you're not paying for a sub. It's nice to have options regardless.
