Death and Taxes Competitive PvE Tournament!

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

I do have 2 questions. Do organizers intend to organize more of those events and if so do they intend to participate in next editions?

If it’s fun and successful for sure we’ll do more. Whether we participate will be up in the air depending whether we can establish a system where there would be clear enough rules that no bias could come into play. This one is really a learning lesson proof of concept so we’ll evaluate it afterwards.

It is impossible to establish rules that no bias would come in play. If organizers participate, there will always be a question whether or not they were neutral. It is very naive to think this is possible.

editted for politeness.

Thanks for the philosophy lesson Socrates.

I’m just saying organisers shouldn’t join. Or if they join and compete vs another team, atleast let someone, other then the organisers or guildies, judge if that run went according to the rules.

Same problem.
Though I can log in, but after some minutes I get the same code as the OP. After that I dc and it takes me +/- 10 mins to log back in. After the whole process start over in a never ending cycle.

All that hard work to get to 80 for nothing. What a slap in the face!

Stopping Chomper as a warrior

I used a mace/ shield set for this and GS. I would fight Chomper and Strugar both at melee range and targetted Chomper. Everytime Strugar raised his arm to throw meat, I would use mace F1 to stun Chomper and then quickly run to grab the meat. And so on..

I don’t know how to quote, so i copy/ pasted the next text.

“Sorry to double post, but I forgot to add this:
Here is the number of bugs(by number of posts in their bug thread) of each profession:

Warrior: 30
Engineer: 146
Elementalist: 166
Thief: 190
Ranger: 202
Mesmer: 220
Guardian: 258
Necromancer: 570

A few things stand out here:
-Necromancers have almost three times the average of the other classes number of bugs.
-Warriors have 1/5 the bugs as the next least bugged class.

What this says:
-Assuming that Anet does plan on fixing these bugs, forget class balance, it seems that they have been unfairly prioritizing Warriors. This results in power skewing toward that profession since it is working closer to 100% as intended.
-Necromancers have the biggest reason to complain. However, only 6/26 first page threads are about Necro specific complaints. This is in contrast to Rangers who have 20/26 being complaints.

For the other professsions:
Elementalist: 7/26
Engineer: 7/26
Guardian: 1/26
Mesmer: 4/26
Thief: 6/26
Warrior: 3/26"

I’ve read somewhere that Jon Peters plays a warrior. I’m not sure if this is true, but assuming it’s true, then to me it’s very clear that he unconciously or conciously puts more effort into fixing the bugs on warrior then on any other profession.

Anyways I hope ranger gets fixed soon.
