Whats Preventing You From Quitting The Game
Dayra.7405 replied to Rendalmj.3152's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
It’s very simple for me: I play if I am able to set me goalsI Pause till some come upLast year till June I did not really played,Then I had warclaw, skyscale and 3 LS episodes as goal and currently after I reached them get some more achievement points is my goal. If I got them I’ll probably leave till something intenersting is available again in gw2 -
You know the old metalband of Tyria? (I‘m just a fan, not otherwise related) Wow, just noticed: What a prophetic Titel for this 6 year old song : "Bloodbound" instead of "Bound by Blood" :)

Will 3rd Expansion happen at all?
Dayra.7405 replied to yefluke.3168's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
There will be no expansion during LS5. And LS5 should keep us (a bit) busy till end of 2020.A bit early to speculate what comes in 2021. -
[Raids] Why raids in GW2 stayed niched
Dayra.7405 replied to Yasi.9065's topic in Instanced Group Content
By "Mostly ignored" you mean content that is being run weekly by dedicated players compared to entire Living World zones that are -actually- ignored by everyone and rot without players? I am sure ANet has the statistics of total player hours spend inside to quantify such statement, unfortunately I don't.I've only my impression: some dedicated raid runner, are a nearly invisible minority among all players, and I am in a thread, where it is argued that this can never change. -
[Raids] Why raids in GW2 stayed niched
Dayra.7405 replied to Yasi.9065's topic in Instanced Group Content
I have amazing news for you!You already can play how you want!Make your own group and you are ready to go.Have fun. I agreee with ZeftheWicked, and the hours it needs to get a 10 ppl group is the 2nd reason to ignore raids. So my recommendation to ANet would be: Make 5 ppl random-lfg content out of raids, or be happy with that content being mostly ignored.Or more pragmatically: leave it as it is, but don't waste further resources into raids. -
Riding over the map and by that avoiding any combat and events has its price ;) Doing events usually levels fastestYou can also play the low level dungeons. You should also have some Tomes of Knowledge in your bank from the daily/monthly rewards.

Yes, but for that lvl 1 is most of the time enough, and that's 1 of the 31 mastery points to max it. (Advanced gliding add security, but isn't that often needed any longer if you have griffon & skyscale, and it's also useful to extend skyscales climbing by skill-8 to switch to gliding into an updraft to gain much more high your sky scale can get alone). But all this is much lower priority.
-
I did not read it, but I think:If you played PoF before HoT the mounts (esp. griffon & skyscale) change priorities dramatically, e.g. gliding degrade to mostly superfluous. E.g. yesterday I explored tangled depth with a twink and easily reached points that I remembered to be hard with full gliding and mushrooms.

What is your opinion about Jormag's gender?
Dayra.7405 replied to Terter.4125's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
So Siri & Co are female, too? ;) What's the gender of a robot building a robot? Or of a 3D-Printer printing a copy of itself?It's just the old-fashionedness of our language that let us classify everything as male/female. -
I think they behave like any normal company :)

What are your thoughts about the incoming nerfs to the Longbow Auto?
Dayra.7405 replied to anduriell.6280's topic in Ranger
In general 90% of all missiles seem to be blocked, destroyed, absorbed, reflected, avoided, not doable due to invisibility ...You only hit if you surprise your enemy, if he is a noob, or if he tries to run away (and is visible). So I don't think ranger damage needs a nerv, there are already much to many counters. -

Dayra.7405 replied to Terter.4125's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
That's our thinking/speaking about them, not necessarily their reality.We are a just bit limited in our language and thinking with respect to animated natural forces (dragons) or Gods.In the end all this is only a metaphor or analogy, that has it's clear limits. -
What is your opinion about Jormag's gender?
Dayra.7405 replied to Terter.4125's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Hm, Kraikatorik and Glint and Aurene are (magically animated) Crystals, did you ever discussed the sex of a diamond?Mordremorth was a plant, plants are usually bothZhaitan was undead, undead usually don't reproduce, but come into existence when something alive die.Jormag seems to be a collection of a snow-Crystals, something like a blizzard, do blizzards really have sex? I think as such he can split out sub-blizzards and maybe even rejoin them. -

Dayra.7405 replied to Terter.4125's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
None Dragons are Mono-sexual. Glint produced (at least) 2 eggs, but there was never a word about fertilization. -
Insanely high ping. Why is it so laggy?
Dayra.7405 replied to Realight.3507's topic in Account & Technical Support
https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201862998-Troubleshooting-Connectivity-Issues I've no clue where you are and which internet provider you have, how many clients does it have, if it is well know to "oversell" it's lines such that you have problems when your providers lines are over-used..My Ping is most of the time around 40ms, and I am playing gw2, so it's not the game ;) And the ping depends on 2 things: how long is the route. (what's the phyical time to transmit through the cables)how long do your packets sit in network-computer queues when switching cables. (this depends on how much capacity your provider has vs how much he sold)And the route you get depend on: where are youwhere is the game-serverand unfortunately also: network-politics, due to cost/provider-alliance reasons, you are rarely allowed to use the shortest connection, but you get the cheapest connection, and sometimes the cheapest take much longer. :( -

Ping is 99% responsibility of your internet provider. You have to ask him. -
Useful: Join a guild (to play Guild Missions, get Help)Hero points as you will get 2 new elite specs with the expansions GoldMaterial in your bankAscended equipment (Jewelery for Laurels, guild missions, Armor+Weapons craft or drop)Tyria Mastery Points via achievements (such that you can unlock auto-loot with just Exp after you got the expansions)WvW ranks (hard without mount), but you can even buy difficult Hero points from the content of Rankup chestsPlay Fractals & Fractal Agony resistance (useful for ascended drops)Tyria Map Completion is always useful (esp. if you decide to build Legendaries at some time)Buy LS2 (you can play without Expansion) for Gems (gold traded to gems), 2nd LS2 map (Silverwastes) is still good for gold/Material farming. Doesn't matter Exp there will always pleantyKarma only if you are short (less than 1mio)

You really ask if one prefers 1 of these 10 over the 11th? Lol. I want LS & wvw-updates & combat modifier (food, ...) reductions.
-
In WvW it is more open and suspenseful what happens. In PvE everything is fix, determined before it happen. To give you an example: If you did it once you know exactly how the Tequatl event happen.But if you attack a keep, you cannot be sure what happen, will the enemy appear? will he appear in force, who get reinforcements in time.You cannot predict that in a match (timezone) that is rather balanced and not empty.

Dayra.7405 replied to anduriell.6280's topic in Ranger
I don't think the base damages are the problem, all these cumulative modifiers are. -
I start to ask myself: Did some international player discovered the advantage of Baruch?It can be overstacked unlimited without getting full, has plenty space in early prime and supports good placement with a build-in night crew!

Is there another Expansion in the works?
Dayra.7405 replied to Vlad Morbius.1759's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
If LS 5 is as other LS, if will be 6 episodes, with an episode every 3 month, Prolog will start 17.9., episode 1 sometimes later, LS5 will keep us busy till at least mid 2021!A bit early to speculate what happens afterwards.
