[Halloween] Boss Doors and the MF Changes Posted: 13 Oct 2020 04:50 PM PDT Hey there again ghosts and ghouls! This is going to be a wall of unnecessary information for most of you, so scroll to the bottom for a tl;dr if you don't care and just want to know what you should do. At the end of the post for my guide that I made the other day I mentioned how nothing should change and everything in the guide should be up-to-date for this year but for some reason it did, I'd update it ASAP. Well, Anet decided to make me eat my words, and we got a fairly significant change! (As far as Halloween changes go, anyways) Those of you who read the patch notes or have gone in the Lab since release will probably know about the new MF buff you get from killing the bosses. Considering my guide was tailored for skipping the bosses, it shakes things up a bit. I spent the better part of the day collecting info and doing calculations and as far as whether killing or skipping bosses is better, it's a bit muddier now. So I'll break it down for those of you who are interested: The new MF Buff works as follows: Max of 75% MF bonus, 25% each (Viscount, Lich, Steve). If you link it in chat it says max 4 stacks, but so far I've found no way to get 4. There's a combined timer, 20 mins, and if it expires, you lose all stacks This timer resets with every boss kill Anet foresaw the whole "kill all once and then only kill Steve'' strat I was hoping for, preemptively said "haha nope" and made it so whenever the boss door (or steve himself) respawns, their stack of the buff is lost. Viscount and Lich have 26 min timers, meaning you have to kill them both technically three times in an hour to keep their stacks up. To be exact, you'll need to kill them 2.3 times an hour. That's 4.6 times in total. So, is it worth it? Well: Most competent groups can kill both bosses in under 2 min. Really good groups can get close to 1min 30s kill times or lower. We know that roughly Magic Find % = bags/hr. Bags/min would then be MF% / 60. The bosses also all have drops, which is usually ~11 ToT bags (2 large candy, 1 normal ToT), plus some other trash which I can't be bothered to figure out the loot table for. Calculations: Bags we would have if we just skipped (2 min) Calculation Result Time lost: 4.6 boss kills * 2 min each 9.2 minutes Bags Lost (300 MF): 9.2 min * 5 bags/min 46 bags lost Bags Lost (500 MF): 9.2 min * 8.33 bags/min 77 bags lost Bags Lost (700 MF) 9.2 min * 11.66 bags/min 107 bags lost Bags if we kill bosses and get extra MF (2 min) Calculation Result Extra Bags/Min from 50% MF 50 bags per hour / 60 min 0.833 extra bags/min Time Actually Farming 60 min - 9.2 min spent killing 50.8 min Extra bags from MF 50.8 min * 0.833 bag/min 42.32 extra bags Plus Total Bags from Killing 4 kills * 11 bags each 44 bags Total Bags if we kill Bosses 42 bags + 44 bags 84 total bags Bags we would have if we just skipped (1.5 min - 1min 30s) Calculation Result Time lost: 4.6 boss kills * 2 min each 6.9 minutes Bags Lost (300 MF): 6.9 min * 5 bags/min 35 bags lost Bags Lost (500 MF): 6.9 min * 8.33 bags/min 57 bags lost Bags Lost (700 MF) 6.9 min * 11.66 bags/min 80 bags lost Bags if we kill bosses and get extra MF (1.66 min - 1min 30s) Calculation Result Extra Bags/Min from 50% MF 50 bags per hour / 60 min 0.833 extra bags/min Time Actually Farming 60 min - 6.9 min spent killing 53.1 min Extra bags from MF 53.1 min * 0.833 bag/min 44.23 extra bags Plus Total Bags from Killing 4 kills * 11 bags each 44 bags Total Bags if we kill Bosses 44 bags + 44 bags 88 total bags ​ Okay, cool tables bro, what's it mean? tl;dr If your squad can kill sub ~1min 35s: Kill the bosses regardless of your MF If your squad can't: High MF (above ~560%): You need to kill within about 1min 40s to be a net gain. Any less and it's a net loss, so you should skip. Low MF (sub ~560%): You should kill them, just do it reasonably fast. If it's taking over 3 minutes, it's not worth it. ​ For anyone interested, I've updated my Looting the Labyrinth guide to reflect the new update. submitted by /u/xTeh [link] [comments]

PSA: Height markers on the minimap are working again! Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:02 PM PDT It seems to me that they have (finally) fixed those! I never thought I'd miss such a rather small feature so dearly. submitted by /u/Tungd1l [link] [comments]

How is this Game as a main "PvP" Game Posted: 14 Oct 2020 12:48 AM PDT Hello, I am looking for a PvP oriented MMO and always hear good things about GW2, but thats only when I hear about GW2, and thats sadly not too often, so I got some questions Is there any form of 1v1 PvP (I can't recall there being some, but maybe it changed?) How alive is the PvP (EU), can I queue up and get into matches consistently? Is PvP really completely Skill Based as in no Gear, MTX etc. matters? And also can I gear up with PvP or do I need to play the whole Story / Dungeons / Raids etc. (Not a problem for me tho) Thats about all the questions I have, thanks to any kind soul who answers :) Good day ! submitted by /u/saawry [link] [comments]

Candy Corn Gobbler - Need QoL Update Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:15 PM PDT Is anyone else disappointed they still haven't updated the candy corn gobbler to work like the wintersday one. Basically opens a mini shop to buy in bulk instead of one at a time. Ideally it would have two options for purchase the buffs and the costumes (so the people who bought it for either can use it either way). submitted by /u/PinkNinjaMan [link] [comments]

Mad King JP Daily Limit? Posted: 14 Oct 2020 01:01 AM PDT So I hopped on really quickly this morning to do Mad King JP. After getting into a fresh game and getting it, I decided "I'll just keep going until I fail." Over the next 2 hours and 15 minutes, I did it 42 times in a row. However, on my 43rd try, when I jumped into the clock tower, it just didn't let me "enter." I fell to my death and got teleported back to the waiting area. I figured it was a burst of lag or something weird maybe, so I tried again. On my 44th try, once again I fell to my death and got teleported to the waiting area. By now I had already resigned myself to quitting for the night, but I was PMing with some people in my lobby, and while doing so, I got pulled into another round. So again, on my 45th try, I 'missed' the clock tower entrance (fell right past the entryway) and got teleported back to the waiting area. My ping was 90ms, and I wasn't experiencing any other lag really. I could understand maybe making a mistake once, but three times in a row after successfully executing it 42 times in a row? Is there some kind of anti-bot measure or something in place that doesn't let you get too many JP completions in a day or something? Maybe around 50? Because I definitely got it at least 8 times before that within the last 24 hours. EDIT: I know exactly how many times I ran it in the last 24 hours: 65 (3 * 21 + 2). I've done the CT in previous years (2014), but not since the infinite achievement came out. So I definitely started 24 hours ago with zero // started "today" (daily reset time) with 23 (i.e., all 42 I got today were in that one chain run). submitted by /u/--orb [link] [comments]

[NA] Anyone else getting severe lag lately Posted: 13 Oct 2020 08:24 PM PDT The last few days GW2 has been completely unplayable for me. I am getting "casting lag" of up to 30 seconds, rubber banding back and forth and a ping that swings wildly between 200 and 4000. This happens consistently in all zones so it seems to be unrelated to the server lag in LS4/5 zones that I've seen lots of people point out. Thing is, I just moved to a new house and changed ISP so I am trying to figure out if this is an issue with GW2 or if I just got stuck with an awful ISP... submitted by /u/Camburcito [link] [comments]

Help needed for massive lag since Halloween event Posted: 14 Oct 2020 06:11 AM PDT Hi everyone, As stated, I get massive lag almost constantly and everywhere since the event started. Fractals have been the worst yet so the daily T4 became a challenge and I'm lucky I had a good pug. Do you know anything I could try to make it better ? Computer and connection usually have no problems at all and they shouldn't either now :( Thanks Edit : half my team was struggling like me, the other half no lag at all submitted by /u/Kaias84 [link] [comments]
