There must be some report function that can be workshopped into it. I don't think it's happened for a while, but some folks in our guilds would occasionally eat a suspension for a rather specific educational opportunity we've developed a reputation for providing to Teq event participants.

Had to do some menial tasks but other than the 2 week timegate from Draconis Mons, I pretty much have coalescence finished. I don't really care about the time gate (I'm 5 days in) but drat I had done way more poo poo than I thought for this, feels kinda good - though I suspect me doing the pvp tracks for the mastery meta achievement rewards kinda saved me a headache... hope Vision is as kind to me, I already have pretty much all the map currency I need stockpiled for that too

He was kiting mobs to attack them. Eg, smokescales will "kill" your mount pretty quickly if they get hold of you.

Sounds like maybe he was using the bristleback ranged attacks?

Bristleback is it? I still don't have all the names for HoT enemies down, it was the things that shoot torrents of scales, yeah. And since he was on a flying mount and people were trying to do something in the specific area it was hard to like, avoid them and killing them would only make him fly further out to get more making it obvious he was doing it deliberately, hence asking him to stop.

When people dismounted to fight them he'd fly up until the enemy de-aggroed making them invincible while they reset.

It's different when another player is deliberately leading them to you to do it though, and actively going out of their way. Most of those enemies patrol a specific area but have pretty big range on their attacks.

Doing the Vision achievements had me realize that oops! You need to do A Star to Guide Us mastery, I thought I got a free pass for every LW4 mastery achievements by doing the PvP tracks. Thankfully it wasn't that bad and I had (some) fun doing it. Just need to wrap up the Ishtan timegate, the Henge timegate (about a week left) and defend some stupid bridges and I'll have my trinkets. All in all, not bad! All in all I had some fun, but I had also the map currencies stockpiled and the ice shards to get some of the stuff like the kralk ore. So that kinda made me dodge the (much) less fun part of the trinket grind.

Sorry I've been inactive in the thread, I just moved to a new apartment and I'm getting situated.

But quick heads up, Raid Wing 1 training with a friendly guild [SILK] has been cancelled for today at 2 PM EST. Their leader, Ram, is quite sick. Assuming he gets better soon, we will do another raid training next Sunday at 2:00 PM EST. I'll post all the info in goon discord, too.

With that being said, I'm confident we could clear Raid Wing 1 if we have 10 folks express interest. As long as we have squad roles covered, and we're all logged in at the same time, the content is very doable!

So I've started doing dungeons to catch up on all the content I missed between doing the story with friends, and I really have to ask people who know better than me: is Arah bugged or are those oozes supposed to work like that? I kill one and it turns into a singular tiny one, I try to kill the tiny ones and they just disappear. That's cool, I assumed I killed them and carry on with my life, until:



Ooze Hill.

Wasn't the only place that happened either, I'd just find random deposits of tiny oozes across the map. Maybe they were supposed to be there? I have no idea.

Is there any disadvantage to building partial legendary armor sets and then mixing and matching? I have enough skirmish tickets for one piece of WvW armor, and it'd take a bit of the grind off of the upcoming obsidian set. Will I miss out on certain achievements? Is it somehow cost-ineffective to do just 5 out of 6 pieces?

It'll take some of the edge off the grind, but you might miss out on a cheev for the obsidian set.

It may or may not be cost effective, the wubs set is currently the most expensive due to the cost of memories of battle.

Gaz Posting Brigade :c00lbert:
You’ll get more than enough memories by grinding out the account bound Skirmish Tickets, which is the real bottleneck.

WvW armor is still by far the most time intensive of the sets even with all the new ways to get extra tickets.

The way the oozes work is that once you get them to low health, they'll become invulnerable, do a small animation, then split into two tiny oozes. They will then try to get back together and, if they do, merge back into a big ooze.

When the oozes split, they launch projectiles, and where those land is where the tiny oozes spawn. If something happens to the projectiles, they won't spawn the tiny oozes, and if only one is spawned will sometimes just despawn because it has nowhere to go.

Ooze hill is just ooze hill.

It only matters if you want the full set to be visually cohesive but you'll probably transmog over it so no it doesn't matter really unless you still need the tickets for either the backpack or rings

Oh, okay. So that hill was supposed to be like that and sometimes the tiny oozes just disappeared, gotcha. I'm able to solo most of Arah, the big dog man thing gives me more trouble than anything else in there because I guess I'm just bad at it, and it somehow stunlocks me to death. But with one or two other people I can do that poo poo fine, but at that point I might as well get all four to do the switch puzzles. My quest to see what else I can solo continues.

Excellent! We'd love to have you join.

For anyone else who may be interested, the video does a nice job of summarizing the Wing 1 mechanics. Only "requirements" are to have a role that fits into the squad (DPS, Boon DPS (Power, Condi), or Boon Heal) and exotic-level gear (easily obtained via the WvW vendor, all slots are stat-selectable).

If there's any particular role you or anyone else wish to play, we can try to assign it to you. I'm happy to swap roles to give others a chance to try theirs.

I'm in the [GOON] guild on NA, if you see a dude with crow-themed names, that's probably me. Account: Crowface.3287

Ram Silverose is the leader of [SILK], they're the friendly guild we're partnering with for raiding. Unfortunately Ram has been sick a lot lately, so we've had a few cancellations. If we end up cancelling again, we can try a goon run ourselves, maybe some SILK folks will join. 2:00 PM EST on Sundays is the time we've been aiming for.

Condition based Reaper feels lost in raids. At least as far as I've tried a couple and I don't really get what I'm supposed to be doing. Solo targets are weird, but managable... gettting insta'd by environment is less fun. I might try Berzerker next time I jump into raids, because atleast then I clearly know my only thing is trying to dps.

There is a huge mindswitch from fractals I've not figure out yet, but I've enjoyed the time being taught when I was in group. it's so much different than I expected.

I'll look up 1 and I think I was in on a 4. but, no kid this weekend and I'd be good to give it a shot.
