I kind of disagree here.You can do most T4 with off meta builds. Once the balance patch hits, I'm gonna be trying T4 with HealRev and Quickbrands to see how it is.It's just easier with the current meta group. The problem here being, some people don't like how others play, which is a crap way to think really. We all can play how we like, if you (generalisation) don't like it, don't join other groups with those requirements ^^That being said, anyone can post whatever LFG requirements they like. My usual is 'F+P+Brain and cookies (and whatever professions are lacking in the party, like Chrono/Druid/DPS etc)' I don't use it often because I prefer to not clog the LFG with another group listing, if there's already some with similar requirements. I've found the real problem is people slapping on a Meta build, then not knowing how to use it, or how to modify it on the fly in CMs especially.

Just another example, I joined a group last night that was at Arkk on CM, obviously had people leave because of multiple wipes, I said ‘I have 12kp but I know my shit’, we wiped a few more times.I asked the Mesmer (LNHB/ Legendary armor and 30kAP) if he was running Disenchanter (me being a Spellbreaker knew it was unnecessary). He was... I told him to switch for Well of Precognition, and then we killed Arkk. Amazing. Just goes to show, eh? ^^ I had also drank 5 beers. XDOh, I have 13kp of Arkk now. I’ve not had the best of luck with Cosmic Essences haha

My Necro is a Norn Female and she looks amazing, slightly tanned skin with white tattoos. I’ve gone with blue and dark purple colour schemes to match Nevermore and Ad Infinitum.I deleted my first Human necro for an Asura necro, then she was deleted in favour of Sylvari, then I deleted the Sylvari because it wasn’t quite right either. I made my Norn necro last year and it’s perfect. I’ve always had a necro too since I started playing 5yrs ago, so the previous iterations weren’t young characters either.

The only way I can think of 4 on the first map is if you do the chef (which many gave up in frustration) or utilized the bug for the one in the grotto. Once you get raptor 3 you can do the memory game. Most people had to branch out to other maps to get the points needed to level their raptor to 3. You really do not need to branch out to other maps for the 6 points you need for Raptor 3 at all; The ones that don’t require any other mount (only Raptor if at all);(Achi) Pahans Memory Game (A Trip Down Memory Lane, has a map icon)(Achi)Pot of Soup (Just a Sip, has a map icon)Amnoon Bazaar Insight (has Map Icon)Old Amnoon Insight ( has Map Icon)(Achi) Reins of the Raptor, requires basic raptor and to do the Hearts in COCO Bounty Tour (3 bounties, 1 from each board location) That's 6 right there, all in Crystal Oasis, none requiring more than the basic raptor. You get another 2 MP from doing Blazing a Trail and Night of Fires, which doesn't require more than the Raptor. That brings your total to 8 points.

I think it’s very bold of you saying a player who’s maxed magic find and now stores it on a mule, has exploited somehow. That’s not very fair because you don’t know how other people play, or how efficient they were in farming/salvaging. I’ve probably played less hours than you over 5.5yrs (if your claim of 10+hrs/day is accurate) and I’m at 295%mf. So did I exploit too? Smh. Recently I’ve been going up 1% every 2-3 days, that’s 30,000 luck, or 150 Exotic Essences of Luck. It’s not surprising how quickly it will all stack up once it’s capped.

They are, in tier 1 and 2. ^^

Efficiency is an absolute for some players. Time constraints is why. Nobody wants to spend an unnecessarily long amount of time dying/wiping/gg on the same fractal. It’s dull.My usual posting when starting an lfg for t4 dailies is ‘f-p-brain’ I tend to join other parties though that ask for similar f-p-t etc. Why? Because food and potions are available to all players, and they boost your stats, why would you not use them.You can tell a lot about how people will be just by the food they use sometimes. You see any magic find food and you know they’re not too serious about efficiency (outside of the boon duration variants for fractal Chrono) One thing that does bother me is players that join groups that ask for something specific, and the player that joins is not even what was asked for. I had a thief join when the lfg stated Druid the other day. No relog, so he was kicked. These problems in this thread are solved if you create your own lfgs or read what other people are asking for. I take spellbreaker into t4s now, and Chronos are delighted in 99/100cms when I zone in because it makes their job of providing alacrity that much easier. Yes, these meta groups that ask for bs for CMs because a condi warrior is easier to find. The ‘elitism’ has always been in game, it’s just moved from dungeons (4 Warriors 1 Mesmer), to Fractals which run efficient groups for maximum group buffs. They’re still doable without that setup, but more often than not, the meta group is smoother and quicker, as long as those meta players know what they’re doing (That is the biggest factor).

I think this was changed. All seasonal decorations are available at Fion permanently now. Will have to double check when I log in (Edit: I've checked, yes they are available permanently now, and not in season.), I remember it taking me by surprise though when I went to check the cost of the Solid Ocean pieces. Regardless, I don’t think buying lanterns is a good enough solution. Some players don’t belong to a guild, and others either don’t like Scribing, can’t be bothered, or do not wish to donate a decoration to the guild hall. I personally will craft one/two statues each year (Year of the Rooster was different because of our guild name, so I made 4 of those statues) the rest of the Lunar decor doesn’t really fit in with the Windswept haven. So even though there’s no storage limit, those lanterns will go to waste if someone is just dumping their luck. Plus I’m not using my own resources to refine thousands of lanterns!

Which is why the more valid option of asking Anet to split daily and monthly AP reinstate monthly achievements with its own cap/thresholds/DR is better.

Seems people still don’t like to read ingame text. Too confusing.

You need to have earned the Triumphant Armor (t1) from the reward track to unlock purchasing the Triumphant Hero (t2 Exotic or Ascended) armor from the Skirmish Vendor. It unlocks per piece, not per set also.

I suppose enjoyment for some comes in competition, but Daily AP being capped doesn't stop that, unless you had earned absolutely every single AP in the game upto now. No? Ok then, your friends got bored, they most likely would have gotten bored regardless of the cap or not, given time.Every achievement has a cap in game. Why should the daily be different?

Let's get this perfectly straight, you are NOT being rewarded less than another player who has not reached the cap, you have already earned the maximum AP for the daily. That. Is. IT.Every player is capped at 15,000AP for Daily and Monthly combined, and every player can earn the Reward chests/2g from the Dailies regardless of the cap. I agree with the non-transparency of the cap like other Achievements such as you mentioning, Agent of Entropy, Hobby Dungeon Explorer etc. I also agree here, I made a few posts on the old forums about this when the Daily AP cap discussions are brought up, yet 'the daily AP keeps vets playing'. No, it doesn't regular and repeatable rewarding content keeps vets playing.

Twisted Watchwork Mountfit Bundle! Megaplease with an omnomberry on top!

Talk to him, and go through his dialogue, and look for the Karma icon. No need to do anything.A lot of info is missed if you just click through.

I’d love to only be able to see NPC and my own skill/weapon effects. Options are good.I’d just like to be able to see a boss, and know it’s skill animations for attacks, that would be good!

There’s a cap of 15k for dailies and monthly combined.

Oh, that would have been cool if someone mentioned that amidst all the NPC chatter. Anyway, thanks for that. Makes it nice to know i'm not just stuck until who knows when. Pretty sure as a shade spawns Braham yells “Use the Divine Fire!”Since the whole instance is based around using Divine Fire, it was obvious, to me at least, to use it to kill the shades. Quite symbolic of light conquering darkness. Learning encounters by doing, paying attention, will go a long way in HoT/LS3/PoF/LS4 storylines.

Buys RNG Mount adoption Licence, complains he gets a basic skin from it...You knew the risk when you bought it.

It is possible for a solo player. You need to use the Divine Fire to kill the shadows...As you say it is pattern based to finish the instance.

Don't run in all Leroy Jenkins and think about positioning? Don't run in all Leroy Jenkins and think about positioning? Think about dodging, blocking, evasive weapon skills, Aegis, Regen, Skill slot 6, Stealth, using 'tankier' traits/stats? At level 80, you have all core traits regardless of how many HPs you've done. The game is definitely playable with core traits. If you can not do the content with whatever meta build you're running, you shouldn't be running the meta build. Most are built as 'glass cannoning' the content, which means unless you can mitigate damage else where (By the points I made above) you will die. A lot. Pretty sure a lot of players like the 'less waypoints' thing, it means you explore more. Since Repair costs were removed too, it balances out the death punishment. With mounts and Gliding, it definitly does NOT take you 15 minutes to get back to where you were on any map. Do I do Open world/Story content solo? Yes, all the time, it doesn't frustrate me at all. Hate to ring the old bell, but this is totally Learn to play. You can always spot people who rushed through to the Expansion content and wonder why they die a lot.

I agree. Shiny stuff costs.

Winter’s Presence always cost about 1000g. First year it was drinks for Masterful Toast, now it’s the Essences of Snowfall/Mischief. You can also finish both Essences outside of Wintersday. Given that you can get 2g per day doing just your daily (730g/year), that’s A-ok for me. I took 2 years to finish this collection.

Sassy human female characters still want their idle animations back!

Only if it was just an Aura infusion (no stat/ar, but open to it being upgrade-able, still remaining account bound in all forms) and I could withdraw it from my achievement panel, since it is an achievement reward. I like that I can spend just a transmute charge and use it on my other characters. I just want to use a real shoulder item.
