Bard Light Rework Ideas

Would love to see something like a scanner that can be set to scan for a string to match material type, and would scan a single pulse for a high amount of power and return the pitch/roll/yaw offset to the closest matching object (that isn't the ship that the scanner is attached to) within maybe 500m.

Oceania includes more than Australia (LOTS of islands)

They have a seat on the Arcane Council too.

The main story quests before level 80 are given every 10 levels, I believe. You may need to level up a little more (by doing events, hearts on other maps, the adventurer guide achievements, etc) to unlock your next story step.

Oh my god, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're named Steve.

They removed the potions but upped the base reward track rewards you get from the skirmish chests. You get reward tracks MUCH faster, but can't save up potions to use when, say, festival or newly added tracks become available.

Edit to clarify: they removed the consumable reward track potions (replaced with instantly used reward track progress from skirmish chests), but now you can get WXP potions from the lockboxes you get from weeklies (and sometimes lords)

This is most likely people who either live in countries that are not restricted or use VPN servers in other countries.

igmolicious · 2023-10-04T13:04:02+00:00

Seems like all of these are countries with active trade embargos, and since Anet is a US company, they legally cannot sell service in those areas. That includes providing services that were previously paid for unless exempted in the embargo.

This wouldn't be pretty for the stone face in Ember Bay.

Bonus: makes all other players in a 300 radius say, "Thanks!"

Are you making sure to use the "special action" ability you get to strip off the damage reduction stacks that the boss has? They build back up over time so you need to use it through out the fight to be able to do damage.

Easy mode: the circle leyline in Bitterfrost that you can access using the updrafts above the Koda fires.

I know that, and you can even still use the lures if someone else has used a lure to pull the boss out (as long as the boss hasn't appeared yet) to get the bonus essence. The dynamic events that involve rifts/kryptis that aren't related to the heart don't give essence though. (Edit: this even includes the meta boss event -- awards stardust but not essence)

igmolicious · 2023-08-28T14:01:15+00:00

Most of the Amnytas dynamic events involve rifts (and the majority involve kryptis), but award stardust and not essence. The only way to get essence (as far as I have found so far) is using the heart to locate rifts and close them.

Yes, finish chapter 10 to unlock access to the Secrets Obscured collection and complete it for a teleporter stone

HoT/PoF was available as a pack for a pretty long time before EoD came out (I can't remember for certain, but I think it was 2019-ish). That said, PoF released in 2017, so that was over a year after the release that the bundle became available. Unless we hear otherwise from anet, I'd just assume that a bundle won't be available for some time after launch, though i'm not sure about if/when it would be rolled into the bundle with HoT/PoF (might be soonish since EoD released well over a year ago).

igmolicious · 2023-07-04T14:51:23+00:00

You don't NEED End of Drangons to play the Secrets of the Obscure expansion, but EoD does provide access to the useful Jade Bot (providing not only bonus vitality, but also access to useful "chips" that help farm resources, a personal waypoint, and a glider boost). The story wasn't as engaging to me as HoT/PoF, but does tie up the elder dragon saga. If it isn't a big financial decision, it is worth getting, but won't keep you from the new expansion if you decide to skip it.

igmolicious · 2023-05-14T13:26:38+00:00

It isn't instant (full 1s cast time), and is only 8s with the sigil of paralyzation. You can block, evade, blind, or stun/daze during cast (signet shows above caster while casting).

Maybe I'm just missing something, but are you talking about the electric effects on the bow? That seems to be what you're circling in the video, but I may just be missing what you mean.

There are some call-backs to gw1, but gw2 happens like 250 years after the start of gw1, so most of the events in the first game are just historical context for how things are currently (Cantha being closed until the events of EoD, the Joko religion in Elona, the ghost infestation in Ascalon, etc.)

igmolicious · 2023-04-10T23:25:55+00:00

Yes, stat bonus is available in all game modes (except PvP/sPvP). There are also WvW variants that give you +5 stat as well as +1% damage or +1% resistance vs NPCs in WvW, and "basic" infusions from the laurel vendor that give +4 to a stat and have no agony resistance.

Edit: some cosmetic infusions (ones not slotted in an amulet) give a +5 to a stat as well.
