Do longtime players get free items too? (Wizard Hat; Merged)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

Wait, does that mean every time they have a promo, they have to give existing customers the promo items as well? Why is it that in this game the player base feels so entitled to getting things from arena net?

Personally I think the developers and arena nets representatives are being way too nice in the way they deal with us customers. They are spoiling us, and divide they we’re turning into these greedy entitled little brats.

I’m glad in the recent posts made by Gail that her tone shifted towards a much more frank and in your face attitude. I mean if the player demands are so unreasonable in arena nets should have no hesitation to let the player base know how unreasonable they are being.

I think this being a free to play game really makes it a valuable purchase and at the same time you have to realize that if they gave all these items away then people would have less incentive to buy things from the gem store. Besides game purchases the gem store is the only other source of profit.

I agree there must be a lot of children who play this game or something. I imagine parents think this a wonderful alternative to a wow sub.

How to compete with teleporting bots

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

For the record, not all teleporting miners are bots.

I’m not a bot, and I’ve gotten into the habit or parking my alts in front of resource nodes when I’m done with them.

Then when I decide to play next, I quickly pop onto each of my alts to snag the ore sitting in front of them before moving on with the character I want to play.

Ya this I log out all my characters by the rich ori in southsun cove. I often wonder if I’m being reported.

Please explain the Server Population system

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

It’s always a matter of definitions.

What is considered online population? Did they actually state this and if so, did they define how they measure online population? For all I know they consider someone online population if they logged in in the last week. Just saying.

Without an actual and precise explanation of what they measure and how they interpret these measurements, we will never know and I seriously doubt Anet are willing to divulge how they do this, simply because it allows manipulation.

Its per account on the server not people currently playing.

Writing on a phone so not going to quote it. They tried to edit there post to make it confusing. However you can find all the quotes by googling for it. It has nothing to do with people playin that’s why you see so many high pop servers where there is no one playing.

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

It’s already been stated by staff that a server’s population is in relation to online population, not accounts on the server.

No that’s not true, I mean that would be the common sense thing to do. So with anet you already know for a fact its the opposite and a dev posted that its accounts per server not logged in.

I guess there afraid if it was the way you believe it to work the peak amount of players would crash a server so instead they keep track of accounts.

More Armors

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

I guess, since they can’t reproduce the quality of armour design of GW1, they decided to throw stats on it instead?

I collected nearly 50 elite armor sets in GW1 and it was fun to do, even when some of it was grindy. In this game I never got that thrill of “wow that armor looks awesome”. I just found one or two sets that looked alright and that was it.

Same its been extremely bugging me since I’m getting multiple characters to 80. I mean what am I going to do throw CoF armor on them all?

Thats like buying a burger at a fast food joint for 5 bucks yesterday and then today they are having a buy 1 get 1 free on the same burger…does that mean you should get a free burger today because you paid for 1 yesterday. Nonsense even thinking like that lol…

I have to agree. If you bought some from the store and it was on sale later doesn’t mean you get that deal.

5 signet/zerker warriors everywhere

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

I don’t think its a problem with the build its a problem with the game. Warrior traits make them go melee. Great sword does the most with hundred blades its like 10k I’ve pulled up to 17k and I know other Warriors have pulled more. Where as the support is standing around doing ranged. Of course those warriors are pulling all the hate from mobs. If you pulled more dps you would be going down instead.

Granted every class can play poorly. When a warrior plays poorly its just that much more apparent and the signet thing is a bit silly. I personally blame anet for design the game the way it is if they didnt make a trait that basically said hey use all the signilets everyone wouldn’t be.

Sure we can stand around using bows and rifles and give up massive damage. Then wed be like you.

There’s something that’s been bugging me since the AMA. Chris said that Ascended gear is “designed to fill the ‘Time’ gap in regard to the distance between exotic and Legendary in terms of progression.” If that’s the case, why didn’t they release the Ascended weapons first? Wouldn’t that make more sense since the only Legendary-type equipment that we can get right now are weapons?

Because they didn’t come up with ascended gear until recently aka after legendaries.

Yeah, they did. However the Patch broke more than it fixed.

That list was pretty huge bet you can’t name more things “broken” than fixed and I’ll be impressed if you get past two.

I understand the point of the thread but to whine about it right after a patch is just wrong on so many levels. Show some decency.

Jumping is broken.
Cliffside Fractal is broken.
The fixes for broken dungeons aren’t working.

That’s 3 right there.

20 more and you sir are a winner and not a a whiner. Fixes not working doesn’t create a bug. Cliffside Fractal has been broken. So you got one.

Cool man, you win the internets. There are no problems with this patch. Nope. None at all.

Never said there wasn’t but no one here can name anything but the jumping bug which they said they know about. Not to mention the point of the thread is about them not working on patches RIGHT after a huge patch. WTF? At least give it a week or something. Nobody sees anything hypocritical about the timing?

I’m not one to wine, I enjoy the game and will keep playing. But the last patch messed up jumping in a way that makes it difficult to time yourself. I would’ve rather kept jumping functional and deal without the fixes until they could’ve done them without breaking jump.

I agree but to assume everything will be perfect is kind of whining. Not to mention they IMMEDIATELY addressed and acknowledged that issue so what else do you want?

Bad heal fix

AerictheBoss.9172

I think you guys are over reacting, from what I understand there is a limit to the amount of people who can receive the benefits from most spells. By allowing these heals to prioritize NPCs/minions that belong to you in a large fight like against Jormag’s Claw you don’t go off healing everything except what belong’s to you.

The word prioritize is used, not only or something else.

Sound, is it full and complete?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

I’ve always had issue with the sound I don’t know if anyone else does so I was just curious. For instance walking and such doesn’t have a transitional effect based on what your walking on, sand for instance sounds different than grass. The clanging of armor is a nice touch however. The sound of swinging such a huge great sword at something often sounds like it’s being wield by a fairy. The mere tink, tink, sound reverberating.

Music of course is excellent. It’s all these other sounds that bother me they don’t seem to have the weight associated with their actives. It’s always bothered me, I’m an extreme audiophile and I just can’t get around it.

Are there any sounds that bother you that just seem out of place?

I haven’t noticed a huge decrease with the diminishing returns. How long till you feel their effects?

Depends on how fast your killing thing and such. But karma DR is about 30 minutes when your really grinding I know this because its been a compaint for many on wasted karma boosters that dont do anything after dr sets in so most likely loot is too. You have to realize DR doesn’t stop good loot only diminishes the chance for better loot.

Guardian weapon DPS (simple Mists tests)

in Guardian

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

Actually Kangyi’s calcuations aren’t that useful for different reasons – in situations where you need to apply sustained DPS over several utility skill cycles, trait spec matters. I wouldn’t use greatsword without honor in real application because it is the least defensive weapon.

Putting aside the fact that most non-boss battles last for 1 cycle or less, what would be a lot more useful is DPS calcs for the most popular trait specs. I actually don’t know which situation calls for max DPS on the guardian since they’re horrible at being glass cannons in general.

The point of the calculations is to denote an acceptable average to conclude what is what. Just because your not going to fully utilize the weapon does not invalidate the data on potential.

I think the problem is math is to hard to understand, the concept even harder for some. There’s probably two out of ten people that can comprehend. What’s even there. Not because its harf but because most people are at grade 5-8 in math knowledge. I think he did a really good job with what he had. Its more than acceptable.

Its an unfortunate fact if he used words like good better ect it would probably be received better.

My numbers that use actual numbers and calculations are a “guess” while your random flailing is “real”. Okay.

It’s not “hard”. It takes time. Every fraction of a second matters. If the mouse isn’t already in the correct position, you could loose whole seconds. This the same reason is why your estimates aren’t as useful as real tests. You’re not using accurate timing data. GIGO.

Whole seconds, huh.

Don’t get worked up man this is America math is not well known here. They don’t realize everything is math, math is pure fact. To argue with math is to argue with fact. They don’t realize this.

1. They’re not allowed to alter such information, because they’re being checked by more than one company. If they altered their own information there would already be a case about it. So no, don’t tell me that the information is altered.
2. I’m seeing people EVERYWHERE.

The game is not dying. Snap out of it.

For sure, and thats the reason under the numbers in third independent sources….

If you take for example Xfire you could find a non stop raising in the numbers of players… oh wait…

http://beta.xfire.com/games/gw2

And now you could shout about Xfire being a non valid source, but please when you make it put a better source of number of players (and not the Anet load in the servers btw)

How many people that are playing Guild Wars 2 are using Xfire? You can only measure the percentage of people that allow to be measured. Example: I have Xfire for streaming, but I haven’t even switched it on for half a year and I did not register guild wars 2 on it. I could be better measure with steam, me having 200 games on that, but even then I did not associate Guild Wars 2 with it, because I couldn’t be bothered. So in total, no measurement is accurate, because it’s not measuring all players. It can be measuring as low as 5% – 10% of the players.

That’s what you call a sample. When CNN does a poll they don’t poll the entire nation they take a sample and usually those samples are correct. Everyone should remember how accurate samples were during the election.

Make farming better

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

I think one of the big problems this game has is the economy. Nonbot farmers are being punished around the clock. Why make it take so long and make it so difficult to gather resources. Most games know your going to gather resources so they conveniently place nodes outside of typical hotspots where mobs are. This game puts champions next to theirs. This game requires you to wait a long time. Other games by the time you’re done gathering everything, all the nodes have respawn. This game 24hrs for rich nodes.

What do you think if the game allowed an easier time wouldn’t it solve so many issues with casual crafting and event larger items?

Because I want them sitting here, all day, talking with us about what it is they’re doing instead of actually doing it. They have a huge update coming out in 11 days for Wintersday – I IMAGINE they’re working on that.

And frankly, I’ve seen more dev posts on these forums than I have for WoW, EQ2 or any other MMO I’ve played.

I’d agree with this but how many days, weeks, months do they really expect us to wait when a lot of this stuff should have been done before release. The devs for all those other games deliver. I haven’t seen anything delivered except what people feel as punishment via DR. I like the fractals but man they have really taken over.

I just wanted to find out what the communities thoughts were on the newest holiday about to land in Tyria.

Personally, I believe that the toymaker will arrive in each city, bringing love and joy and blah, blah, blah. We will get a hat or something unique and the festivities will begin.
In the midst of the celebrations, the toys will start to go haywire, destroying anything in its path. It will be the players duty to restore peace to each of the cities, spanning over a week long conquest to rid them from the world.

I also feel a mini dungeon or jumping puzzle in the form of the toymakers airship will be in the mix somewhere, judging from the past events.

I am looking forward to reading your speculations, queries and concerns about the patch, and I have faith that Anet will succeed again in another fun event!

I think it goes without saying he will be in each city think they might have said that too. Honestly if there’s not armor or weapons I don’t even care about the event all that much.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: AerictheBoss.9172

AerictheBoss.9172

If I interperate the wiki correctly, the more you trigger DR the longer it stays, account wide, until daily reset. So grinding for 3 hours doing shelter/pent could trigger it quite a bit effecting you for the rest of the day, or not at all. No one is really sure what ANet consider “normal” play. Would be nice if they defined what they consider normal so we can all adjust our “farming” styles to fit.

I find it triggers after 30 minutes to 1 hour doing chain events. That seems insane to me.

Bot Creep

Why not take a real stand on the botting in game. All accounts who have been caught botting will be per-ma band unless proven that the account was hacked. Make it a load in screen message. Stating that any account that has had gold sent to it from that toon will also be per-ma banned.
A: you will get the account the gold farmers store the gold on.
B: you will get the people who support them by buying gold.
C: Most gamers are social people, who hang out with others. And in most cases these people will not drop the game just because one was banned. Hence that person who was banned will most likely,,, after much nerd raging,,, go and buy another account. Bam another $90 buck in your pockets.
AND please don’t try and say we have no way of tracking that because your telling fibs. For a small fee per week both my wife and i will do the job for you. Just give us the Authority on our account to do so. I would personally drop your botting numbers by 90%. And when players QQ about it, ill happily reply to them with "thanks for your $90 for the game client. if you wish to play GW2 with your friends. Go buy another account and next time purchase through the GW2 gem store. Yours sincerely GW2 personal &** kicker.

This plan assumes you know exactly who is botting and assumes they can id where money is coming from. Id don’t think they hire psychics.

I’ve heard a mixture of things, from Anet’s own mouth. They’ve said that they want to make Ascended the step between Exotic and Ascended. They’ve also set they are going to give Legendaries Ascended stats once Ascended weapons come out.

No one has any clues about armor, there could be something for Wintersday, there might not.
