I’m curious how you leveled in 3h…

it was possible to let one guy run level 50 veteran shiphands and invite you before the endboss, so you got all of the level 50 xp. 1 shiphand run was basically enough to get from level 1 to 18 and a run takes between 5 and 7 minutes if your gear is good enough.

You can solo the normal dungeons? Are the IA wipe-timers less important in the other instances? I tried soloing the academy but the bosses require 5 IA removal, and I didn’t think any of the classes had that much.

yes you can solo the normal mode dungeons. there are no IA wipe timers at level 50. but if you dont interrupt in raids its a wipe.

—the established strategy for dungeons has been “wear zerker, stack in the corner and spam your skills” for way too long. It’s a brainless faceroll that isn’t fun or rewarding (at least to me), and it takes less skill and effort than an early WoW five-man.

If I hear this assertion one, ONE more time, I swear to the old gods and the new I’m gonna take it as an attempt to troll and flame the thread and start reporting.

The Forums are starting to annoy me again. Better take a small break or stay confined in the trashcan.

Guys, come help:

Liadri was in the open world, not an instance. Just saying.

That’s a new low, even for our old friend here.

I’m gonna stop calling it PvF. It’s now WvV — World vs. Vayne.

He’s the reason of EVERY forum suspension I had. I bet he’s one of those extremely religious person with whom you can’t argue using logic or reason.

p.s. liadri would have been 100x better if it had been instanced, having to deal with the unoptimized flame effect and zerg causing massive lags. And lets not forget the waiting in line to fight.

Re: You’re So Vayne,

Yeah, the guy likes to just pick on any loose wording that is an obvious exaggeration and just dig in.

I can’t tell how many times I’ve seen someone used “we” instead of “I”, then Vayne rides in screaming “YOU DON’T SPEAK FOR ALL OF US” and completely derails the conversation over a pedantic detail that has nothing to do with anything.

“achievements” in GW2 to me are normally just grindy borefests so I never bother with them really. it’s why I have absolute jack all for AP when most of the people in my friends list have like 15k+ because for some reason the game is full of people mad enough to do “collect 50 <insert item here>” crap.

Well, yeah, I don’t do them either. But my point is that it was challenging (at least for me) and that’s why I think Liadri was challenging content. She was a little challenging at first (unless you’re Westhospu who put out that 5 second full zerk kill video in which case she may have been easy for you from the start,) but the real challenge IMO was in throwing those 7 or 8 orbs and then killing her before time ran out. It was a game of attrition and it was a challenge for me.

Also wtf 600 seconds (10 minutes) flood control?

Same here, yet I’m sitting on about 6k somehow without trying. Most of my guildies are around 20k. It makes my brain bleed to even think about

Its not like you really need to go out of your way to get 15k+ AP. I have just over 17k and most of the people i play with have around the same. I have gone out of my way for some achievements. Mainly the living story stuff because it was temporary and took no time at all (its a waste not to even try it and give it a chance). But the rest is just from playing actively since release and trying out various different bits of content.

Whats really challenging is keeping low AP. Anyone whos played a decent amount on a second account will know this. I always find it really amazing seeing new players with lvl80 characters and less than 1k AP. Because even when you skip so much content and get to lvl 80 you end up with quite a lot. So it makes me wonder what the hell did those new players do to get that far without gaining any AP (they probably got told to lvl in EotM or something stupid).

i think i have like 7k or something

but of course doing pretty much exclusively instances is practically devoid of AP gain so i never really got that high

to be honest i don’t even know how i have the AP i do have, like i literally made zero effort to get any of it

Heh, same here. ~3k hours and 6k AP. Dungeons only for this guy.

And you probably got most of them from random unlocks (accidental slayer/collector stuff) and dailies. I used to get my dailies done just running a dungeon tour back before they added the location specific crap.

It’s why I always laugh and refuse to join groups with ANY AP restrictions. It’s a joke, AP has nothing to do with dungeon experience in any way.

I actually like exploring other game modes when I’m satisfied with my favorite content and just need a little break. When I’m pulled into the game like that even if I don’t want to hit my normal stuff I’m interested in still playing, but, as it stands, I just log out and stop playing when I get tired of the stuff I enjoy.

Oh I will. Is it F2P already? I heard you get some bonus items if you have an active subscription when F2P comes. I just dreadfully fear a gemshop-like payment model for WS. Needless to say that I absolutely loathe the GW2 gemshop. It’s one of the two reasons for all the problems this game has.

The best thing w* (whiteside) has got going for them is that the Devs really feel like they’re gamers. In addition to their sense of humor they just seem like one of us you know? Not like the Anet showcases of content where we see P/P thief with PVT gear and Scorpion Wire doing Thaumanova fractal and dying at the first mob-pack aggro’d…

That’s why I’m confident about it. Their focus is different.

Sounds like they’re serious about avoiding P2W, so that’s good. While it’s not F2P yet, it’s $20 for the box, and there’s also a 10 day free trial: https://www.wildstar-online.com/en/freetrial/

It’s still $15/month until it goes F2P (first month free with box), but after the F2P transition, one of the perks is 4 months of the free optional sub, and you get all of your character slots, guild slots, etc grandfathered in. Plus some bonus items for your house. (Yes. They have player housing)

Exactly! They seem to release content and go “Hey guys, here’s what we made this time. What do you think?” and then actually respond and react to the feedback.

Here we get content releases as divine gifts descending from the heavens, that fall to Tyria to be forgotten.

Man, you guys are doing really good job at promoting Wildstar.

Heh. I know I probably sound like a WS fanboy, but really I haven’t been playing for even a week yet.

It’s probably not ‘appropriate’ to be promoting another game on these forums, but kitten it. ArenaNet has had more than enough chances to throw this community a bone, and they haven’t shown any interest in doing so. Lots of vague, empty promises, but those really aren’t worth much years down the line.

Meanwhile, there’s a game around the corner that is trying to cater to our playstyle. After all we’ve been through over here, waiting years for content that won’t come (and if it does, it’ll never be touched again or even acknowledged once it goes live, barring exploits/game-breaking bugs), I figure it’s worth trying to convince folks to let go of their hopes for this game to deliver content that it doesn’t care about and play a game that actually gives two kittens about instanced PvE.

Maybe we’ll like it, maybe we won’t. But it’s free to try at the moment, might as well check it out. All I know is that Carbine is doing a much better job of working with their players to develop content that they want to play. I just don’t see that here.
