  1. It was changed in March of 2015. "This skill will no longer activate if a valid path to the target point cannot be found, except when acting as a stun break."
  2. I was poking around looking to see how viable (and convenient) an elementalist summoning build is presently. While I'm curious whether this will adjusted, not fixed, from what I'm reading there's a pretty big difference between persistent and "combat" summons. The latter has a duration; and everything with a duration gets 'killed' by mounts. Minis are persistent and also stick around, like necro pets. My assumption is that this is how it'll be unless they decide to truly revamp the idea of an elementalist summoner and give persistent pets. No idea what the tradeoff would be there with cost, power, etc. I would very much like to play one of these instead of undead pets, but I'm not holding my breath.
  3. I've made and deleted so many alts and so many race/class combinations that I have a few personally annoying checkpoints to get through before I know whether they can hang long-term. How much does LWS2 annoy me with the class? Is it too clumsy? Is it a relative breeze?How annoying is the voice acting right before visiting the frogs at the beginning of Heart of Thorns?How bitter is the VA when the character hits PoF? I've lost umpteen classes, core and elite, to checkpoint 1. I lost a 6 year old character to 2. I lost what I thought was my new main to 3.It's all good, though. All roads led to female asura reaper, the perfect answer to all problems. Except clipping.
  4. This bug is at least two years old. It's exacerbated by the fact that the workarounds (pet in slot 2, activate pet) no longer function because pet swap is disabled. This should have been a requirement to resolve before making this change. It was easy to reproduce, reported regularly, and the workarounds were common knowledge (at least in my circle). Edit: There is still one workaround that functions - merge before mount, un-merge when dismounted. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/26175/pet-does-not-spawn-on-ranger-dismount
  5. Seconding [TINY], great fun. The mechanics keep me playing. Most satisfying combat of any current MMO for me. Also and specifically the Zephyrite Paraglider. I like my mounts but I love hanging from the glider. Sometimes I just jump off of stuff for an hour or two when I intended to do something else.
  6. I just want to comment on this - the problem with masteries, to me, is that the bulk of them are not useful except for one map. Every one of those, from Itzel to Exalted to whatever those single ones were leading up to PoF, are ones I do not care about at all. I have to think they were cool toys at the time, but coming in late they are way too brief to be worth getting. The uselessness of these masteries have soured me on the idea of new masteries in new maps. I'm not excited about catching up to Icebrood because: oh look, more one-off masteries. I just want to use my own skills to do things, I don't want a weird time-gated semi-grind that won't be useful past the one map to proceed with the story. However, all that said: the fact that they finally are including HoT with the purchase of PoF makes me hope they are thinking about incorporating old masteries into new maps as well now that they don't have to be content separated.the fact they've acknowledged content needs to be designed for replayability and not just one-offs makes me hope they will incorporate more past masteries into new content.I know people who love new masteries no matter what they are. They feel like the masteries are a good substitute "progression" path to having to get new gear and new levels. It's all subjective.
  7. Little asura boo-boo (wheezematic calculator) hopping through the forestscoopin' up the skritt and boppin'em on the headDoooooown came the grumpy fairy and saidLittle asura boo-boo (wheezematic calculator)I don't wanna see youscoopin' up the skritt and boppin'em on the headI'll give you three chancesand then I'll turn you into a charr. I need a guild to hold me accountable, keep me from abusing skritt, and avoid being turned into a charr. Mostly on central time during the evenings. If this sounds like something FUZZ is able to do, please send me an invite. ~Orffi
  8. Each character will have 3 build template tabs.Each character will have 2 equipment template tabs.Each account will have 3 build storage spaces. For a limited time after launch people will get 3 additional storage spaces for free. Additional tabs will be sold in the gem store.
  9. Ranger in general is going to have an easier time because its pets are going to hold aggro, freeing up the ranger. But if you have to pick an engineer spec, scrapper will be more forgiving on tougher fights. The barrier generation in PvE is pretty good, and the hammer gives you a lot of defensive options. Thanks, good info. I have a scattering of 80s already, including ranger & necro. Just not satisfied with other classes. Engineer is just... fun for me.
  10. 100% solo PvE and story - which elite spec is the most forgiving when it comes to tougher fights? I realize that open world and story is trivial to most people. I'm getting older and slower, so trying to decide which to try first in light of the fact that I will regularly make mistakes in skill priority and reflexes. I still like to try to solo champ hero points and group events and the like.
  11. Are you on Windows 10? And are you monitoring your temps? Yeah, it turned out to be a memory leak from windows 10 updates. Any idea which one? Just rolled it back?
  12. I forgot to mention - I have a "gaming" laptop (they're never really designed for gaming), so some of the above is not applicable. I chased the FPS/performance rabbit through Google yesterday just out of curiosity and I experimented with undervolting last night using ThrottleStop and got a ginormous boost. Just putting it out there.
  13. You guys should read up on voice-actors, the SAG, the 2017 strike and the ramifications of it. You'll get a good understanding of why it's so complicated. Braham is subjective, but my own personal opinion is that Sam Riegel is a boss.
  14. FPS stuff is the most arbitrary and frustrating to deal with. I got the biggest performance boosts out of these: made sure that my graphics card was set to best performance (not appearance, not power efficiency or whatever)GW2.exe properties -> compatibility -> disable fullscreen optimizations (I think this was fixed but I never turned this off) and also the "change high DPI settings" -> override checked, which is probably what you referred toalso deleted gw2 cachein-game gains: character model stuff set to low/low, shaders to low, effect LOD on, native rendering, unlimited framerateWeirdest fix: in advanced power options I had to set the maximum processor state to 99% instead of 100% - this completely fixed my issue of going from 80 FPS to 15 FPS every x number of seconds.With all of this, there are still times when my FPS drops to 30 and nothing budges it. I reboot, sometimes twice, and it's back to normal. Something about Windows 10 is taking away resources from the exe and giving them to, like, Chrome or another prog and then refuses to free it up.
