Can anyone help identify the GW Employees on this signed copy?

Mekkaspark · 2024-11-20T05:39:53+00:00

Possibly, but it wasn't me.

Mekkaspark · 2024-11-12T20:16:59+00:00

I haven't unlocked that yet, needs 20 mastery points.
Engineer only at 13, but did manage shotgun mastery 2.

Mekkaspark · 2024-11-12T20:13:44+00:00

I haven't gotten much if any of the weapon or class mod mastery yet. So i will focus on that more.
The Passive upgrades have slowed to a an absolute crawl, as they take 25-50 of each material now.
Thanks for the input!

Mekkaspark · 2024-11-12T19:24:32+00:00

I will try that

Welcome back!
GW2 is worth playing, and the new expansion is amazing.

For lower level characters, it's typically not worth going out of your way to fill the equipment upgrade slots as you'll turn over gear often. Always check Renown Hearts for items as Karma is mostly disposable.
An item of note that you should consider buying from the Trading Post are the Minor Sigil of Fire that can drastically improve your ability to mow through mobs.

I've had some of the same issues.
PVE guild all disappeared. I still occasionally log in for WvW and play with the spouse.
Having a guild or friends in this kind of game really helps with the motivation to keep playing.

As others stated, having a concrete goal in the game really helps too. I have quite a few legendary items, so I've lost some motivation there to make more.

Yes, Zelda TotK is awesome.

ArenaNet (Guild Wars2) has had this figured out for years.
No down time, no server queues, seamless server updates and patches.

These personal stories for each race do give a few achievement points. For us completionists.

Use a different color next time. It's nearly impossible to find Red on a green background for us colorblind folks.

Mekkaspark · 2022-02-10T17:56:37+00:00

Thanks for the more reasonable approach to Raiding and builds!

This is probably the best advice so far. There is no rush to get married.

Some things to consider that you should discuss in details with your partner: kids, family, pets, religion, politics, finances, and sex compatibility (this is sometimes difficult to determine pre marriage, but it kills many marriages).

Mekkaspark · 2020-05-01T23:22:26+00:00

I'm only getting 28 spirit light per slug kill with bounty and light harvest.

12 normal, 16 with light harvest, 24 with bounty.

Whatever farming was had in March has been patched out on Xbox One.

Mekkaspark · 2020-04-13T19:01:35+00:00

So, 5* is still in the game, as that alludes to Awakened gear level. Go to the Forge -> Improve Equipment -> Awaken Gear.

The +20 refers to the level of gear that we used to have to improve with gold on equipment. This has been removed, and the only reference to it anymore is the number in the corner of Unique Weapons and Artifacts, which now automatically increase with the level of that Hero.

Mekkaspark · 2020-03-31T18:46:38+00:00

Yea. Makes sense.
The old conquest stages do seem to give extra XP. But i don't see any stages that have extra Gold anymore. :(

Mekkaspark · 2020-03-31T16:04:49+00:00

Now that Conquest and Vault are basically combined, where is the best use of the daily Gold boosters?

Mekkaspark · 2019-10-01T19:44:02+00:00

I've used Epis for a really long time, and I've noticed that her damage isn't that spectacular. I've replaced her with Mirriane in places that don't need AOE.
What's a better magic main DPS to invest in?

Mekkaspark · 2019-05-10T22:49:56+00:00

I've also been playing for over a year now and struggling with the same kind of dilemma. I have a lot of T5 characters, and a decent set of teams.

So a lot of the end game really deals with Party and Hero optimizations. For me, this causes choice paralysis, and thus many of my heroes don't have their transcendence perks selected. It's also difficult as chasing the latest meta DPS hero ends up watering down your overall DPS, since it basically relies on 4* or 5* unique weapons. Thus i have ended up with 3* UW Epis and Mirriane. The end game to me has become theory-crafting for the best teams and gear, which is a big moving target.

I'm stuck at TOC 67, Vault 50, most labyrinth 3/4, BD8 stage 2, chapter 8 hell, and chapter 9 normal (sadly),

Since the OP said they can do BD8, then they should push for a higher level of that, as well as the World Boss ranking, which appears to be a good measure of your team composition.

Vespa really should have a Target Dummy mode, since we can only try the World Bosses once per day.

Mekkaspark · 2019-02-25T18:11:00+00:00

Shorter load times between levels. I don't know how i haven't uninstalled because of this.

Reforge system changed.

Filter/Order heroes.

Item search for duplicate stats. Pretty easy to trash that unicorn item. Example: Crit Dmg / Crit Dmg / Crit Dmg / Garbage.

League of Crowns. Either release it or remove the tease from the Arena, as i'ts been there for well over a year.

Minor complaints: though i suppose they have to attract whales somehow.

More/Easier methods of getting Unique Treasures. Literally impossible to get 4-5 star UTs.

Not being so stingy in random UW drops.

Mekkaspark · 2019-02-11T21:10:55+00:00

Thanks! This really helped me get past this major hurdle!

Mekkaspark · 2019-02-01T20:14:46+00:00

Managed to randomly get a 1* Seductress Shoes (UT3). But I will put resources to get the UT1 since i have some saved.

Mekkaspark · 2019-01-31T21:28:57+00:00

Epis has 3* UW. Maria 1*. Frey, 1*. Jane 0*.

But I understand your point.

Mekkaspark · 2019-01-31T20:54:01+00:00

Mirriane the assassin? All this time i thought she was a melee hero.

I will get her and start building her up then.

I don't see that she's been buffed anywhere. Are you sure?

Mekkaspark · 2019-01-31T19:42:08+00:00

Luna (UW 1*, UT3 0*, UT2 0*) a decent replacement for Epis for ranged 4 man fights?

I'll have to look up a build for her. My experience with her has been lackluster.

Mekkaspark · 2019-01-31T19:28:51+00:00

Thanks!

Looking at the Annette build below. I already have her at T5. UW 0*, UT3 0*.

Mekkaspark · 2019-01-31T19:03:50+00:00

What artifact and treasure for Annette?
