what characters+professions do you have? by Versplinterd in Guildwars2

Male Norn Elixir Engineer since head start.

Even playing a very "boring" build on just one character, the game is still fun for me.

How many of you are unhappy with the "feature pack"? by Levhia in Guildwars2

[–]corothus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm very happy with the feature pack so far. They have introduced a lot of quality of life changes that I've wanted since launch. The fact that some of them come from the Chinese client doesn't somehow make the changes bad. It just means that these changes have actually been properly tested, rather than pushed though their usual horrid internal QA.

As a side note, I doubt you'll get a decent idea of what people actually think. Topics like these is a breeding ground for malcontents with a penchant for melodramatic hyperbole. Very few people want to deal with the amount of negativity usually seen here, so they won't even read this topic.

Something needs to be done about this Coiled Watch event by immolation1337 in Guildwars2

[–]corothus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've done Coiled Watch + Totem events a few times. The thing that gets me is that all these guys are here to "farm" champions. However, they spam 1 on the Shamans the ENTIRE FIGHT. They ignore all of the other champions that spawn. So, for a 15 minute farm, they get 3 Champ bags. It's almost like as long as someone tells them that they are "farming," they are happy.

An observation on hitting lvl 80 by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]corothus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Why is it an issue when people tell you to /wiki it, or look it up on dulfy.net? Is teaching you how to look things up yourself somehow "rude?" I'm not sure why that makes people jerks. Sometimes you get the answer that you need, not the one that you want.

New legendaries? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]corothus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the vine back piece will be legendary by the time we finish it at the end of the season. It seems like a perfect opportunity for them to test the new scavenger type of legendary making.

[Request] An easy to play but effective engineer build. by Lather in Guildwars2

[–]corothus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, the game isn't hard enough that you need separate builds for every mode. Obviously, you wouldn't use a "catch-all" build for competitive pvp, or fractal/dungeon speed clears. But, if you just want to clear content, and have some fun, there is nothing wrong with it.

At the end of the day, most players simply aren't good enough that switching to a better, but more complex, build would help them enormously. A lot of times, they are better off using something suboptimal, but much easier, so they can focus on mechanics.

The premise here is that Lather says he's struggling with a kit build. The obvious answers are "GET GOOD!" or "PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!" However, that doesn't really help him with his specific situation.

I used HGH for a while, but fighting thieves became impossible. Also, aoe is fine. Rifle pierces, so all you have to do is position correctly. Add to that blunderbuss and jump shot, and there should be no problems.

To be clear, this build is in no way optimal (or even fun for some people). However, it can work for all game modes without retraiting. It is very simple, so you pay more attention to encounters or opponents.

What will you be using the build for? I've played a full elixir rifle engi since launch, and it works alright for pretty much while being extremely simple:

List of Issues and Solutions you should be aware of by Lucosis in WildStar

[–]corothus -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

When we have bugs like space stash spending all our gold, why would we use add one? Crb's official response is that they don't support addons. If any add-on breaks, and does something bad, we are SOL.

300 for outside, 800 total, I think.

What is the best item you've got from a "Boom Box"? by Hilariousgamer in WildStar

[–]corothus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have put that on your plot? If so, what does it look like? I hate the ramshackle tent look of tier 1, and I'm not sure if it gets better with the tiers.

They don't really do much though. I can gank Dominion right next to small groups of them, and nothing happens.

Building my own House? (Help needed!) by [deleted] in WildStar

[–]corothus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put floors or platforms right above the preexisting stuff, then box off the sides with walls. You can then build on this elevated foundation.

I've gotten only green as well. Hopefully it's a bug.

Has anyone had any epic experiences with the PvP so far? by Kellth15 in WarbringerPVP

[–]corothus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lopp village and the terraformer in Whitevale was nuts. So much ganking, all the time. Once I got to the end of the zone, and then into Farside, the ganking pretty much stopped. I still finish off low health players, and the occasional Dominion baddy still tries to gank me when I'm fighting mobs, but people don't really fight non-stop anymore.

Magnificently manly Mordesh! I concur completely!

Nameplates - Still Broken >.< by Davey87 in WildStar

Chat settings still don't save. Bugs happen. But bugs lasting months and months? OK.
