I’m going to give ESO a try. I was in Beta thought it was boring then I found my grove as to how I like to play it. Then time flew by.

As far a GW2 goes.
I’ve got full ascended one one char. Enough to junk to make another full set of any other type.

7 level 80s. I just didn’t like ele or it would be 8.

Spread across my chars I have probably near 1000 rvr ranks. “Not a lot compared to some people.”

Used to do PVP daily because I could do it faster than doing the pve daily.

Tried dungeons but the stack method is a joke. Still did most paths.

Wasted 2 nights on broken Knights in last Living Story. I forgot to go to the final Conversation in DR.

The whole stacking zerg is ridiculous and a boring. The whole AE hits 5 targets makes WvW broken by default to me.

So for me it’s time for a break nothing left to see here moving a long for a while.

If your die in melee get out of melee and range. Constant range DPS is gonna beat someone who is downed 6 times. Just like pvt is gonna beat zerk who is constantly downed.

I’m personally not killing anymore of them. I’m at 13 killed with loot on one. That’s around 2 hours of time actually wasted killing them. Not to mention time wasted in zone waiting. Time spent farming stupid blades to make sure I had enough for 2 BPs with no chance at looting cores. I’m putting in a ticket for my 60 boxes. I’d recommend everyone else do the same. #AssaultKnightsLootBroken Sorry to people who haven’t killed hologram.

Not getting loot from Legendary Bosses

I’m getting loot less that 1/3 of the time from knights. Trying to get cores for a BP is impossible at this rate. Playing 2 hrs a night you get the possibility of 6 knights a day. I’ve been lucky to get 4 knights with one drop. Only time I got a drop I was solo. Right now I’m feeling pretty stupid for farming blades.

What ? Doing LA 6 times could give you enough blades for one Pieces or recipe are selling for a silver. How on earth is having multiple chars effecting this? None of these drops are level dependent. I have enough to make 3 right now.

The problem is not blades. The problem is the complete BS of crafting to 500 for ascended.

I play quite a bit, I do log reasonable amounts of time in game. However, I do not have large blocks of time with which to do farmable content. The amounts of gold required to get 500 in all the weapon and armour smithing crafts which I would require to fully equip all my mults with ascended gear is absolutely ludicrous. So rather than favour one class/mult and get ascended crafting for that one alone, I have chosen to refuse this entire ascended cow trollop.

I, and everyone else with many mults, basically has 3 choices: farm grinding, lay down real £ on gems with which to buy gold with which to buy mats to participate in this garbage, or not bother at all.

I was all fine and dandy with not having ascended gear/crafting until this (likewise legendaries which, for the most part, are stupid). Now they have started to properly discriminate against mult/altoholics by adding special features like this which are accessible ONLY through participating in their grindcrafting.

I have a level 80 in everything but War and Ele. I’m leveling a War now 55 I think.
So I started slowly leveling Crafting skills I was already at 400 in all but cooking and artificer. First weapons because everybody needs weapons. So I did weapon smith then huntsman. Picked a char and made 3, to give to it. Next Leatherworking because that char I picked was a thief. Chest first because it takes the most mats. All the time banking every time gated Item I could make as I raised skill in the other professions.

I spend 15 minutes a night on this project roughly I have at lest 20 of each time gated item. It takes between 1 to 5g a day to do this depending on how much silk crap I farm. It’s doable in and hour and a half a night some time I skip a day because I don’t want to spend the gold. If I did dungeon runs it would be faster.

All I want is to have a glowing Spinal Blades. I care not about its colour. But because Anet appears to hate people who play multiple characters (I have mults, not alts), I will never have one.

Great job Anet! Thanks for locking some of your most loyal customers out of content!

Rescuing people I still came out with around 200 on my level 50 war I was leveling in LA. Probably because I cleared the road for them to run. I’ve got enough for the 2 backpacks I want to make now.

I was having to go afk a lot the other day. You do get booted if it’s to long. The rewards for afking suck. Even with that I bet I directly rescued more civs by encouraging rezing and clearing their path than the misma zerg farmers.

There were a whole group of players camping the location, waiting to kill everyone who wanted to get the Golem Parts. I was lucky to quickly snatch them up before they could kill me… but still they did kill me.

This is the perfect grief killing opportunity.

And you way pointed back exactly like you would have anyway even if you didn’t get killed. Then you left the map never to return. Have you never ran to something and grabbed it pretty sure you were gonna die in game ?

Was it really that horrible?

I got knocked off a cliff because, I was not watching what I was doing well enough.
As I was falling I thought, nice one. Running a necro with no stability. I was knocked off 1 time in hours. I didn’t fight on bridges. I let people come to me across. It was sad I didn’t get to fear anyone off.

People can knock TTS if they want, but some of them took the time to guest to GOM and lead us in killing Teq the first time and help our commanders learn it. If you’ve done Teq you know how boring the setup and wait is.

So knocking people that are willing to do that to help some guilds and pugs is just plain pathetic.

Why do people always complain when something is hard and requires a little coordination ? Do people really want everything so easy and boring it’s just run in with a random zerg of strangers and beat it down?

If you don’t want to be a little social and put some effort in something then don’t. Let the people that do, do it. Why is that so hard for people? I just don’t get it.

I’d say people fail because because of unbalanced spreading on entry. Last night there was 3 on one. I also don’t know why but it seemed like red circle instant missiles maybe it was lag. I’m normally much better at evading but I was a half second behind. I’ve killed all the other champs but from getting hit the second I loaded on it was a personal bad run.

What I find the most interesting is the sixth image… there are shown many different combinations between races of Tyria, but only 3 of them have “clear” lines.

Out of these 3 combinations, we already saw 2… so it is reasonable to think that the last one is coming soon.

You forget the Air pirates. I think it was a combination of asura tech with the pirates that made the ships viable.

That games have been dumbed down to accommodate the insta fix players that want to have no consequences for their actions. So, there is nothing hard anymore and masses can complete everything as it’s their “right” to do ?

I’ll agree the adds are ridiculous. Other than that this is funny. People wanting the game to walk them though it. I’ve played games where all the boss mobs were hard and we had to figure it out on the fly. There was no youtube walk troughs. Add to that if you lost your corpse you lost your gear. And people complain “we didn’t know what to do and it was hard”. Is that what gamers have come to these days?

Damage done = (Weapon strength) * Power * (skill-specific coefficient) / (target’s Armor)
Both with full runes of Ogre Full Zerker is every single item. Jewelery and Infusion.

Full Berserker Exotic Great sword swing 96.0099 = 1047 * 3275 * .07 / 2500

Full Berserker Ascended Great sword swing 103.24724 = 1100 * 3353 * .07 / 2500

The total is a 6.8% increase not counting traits or sigils.

For 10,000 Cuts it’s like a 500 hp dif but who is going to stand still for that. So for people with the exact same skill level Ascended should win but evading one hit would negate the damage difference.

In my experience the RvR zones weren’t full. There were no quick response ways to get to a keep. The call went out an a huge force showed up and ran for a long time. You couldn’t smash down doors quickly. You had to carry the right kind of supplies and it made you slower and cost money. Taking a keep was an undertaking not a quick zerg activity. Defending a keep was far easier than taking one. Each realm had unique but similar classes. Ah the forums would be a joy with ranting of this and that class is OP.

Fixing both P/D and P/P

Posted by: Arnon.1563

Arnon.1563

If you reduce the burst on Unload you are going to take the only real burst away from P/P.

As it is right now the only real use for P/P in WvW is bursting on low hp people and finishing the downed off. I’ve been running p/p for over a year.

You want to take a weapon set with no real escape option and try to make it a cond build which would be better to slot venoms .

SB does as much or more auto damage as Pistol, has some escape options and helps in siege.

I’d say increase Unload burst along with Auto.

People on the upper tiers think their experience is the norm. I have never experienced and organized karma train. If we get a 40 person zerg it’s considered big. I’m used to being outnumbered in fights. We have to try and use strategy because of this.

No the simple solution is to increase the cap on AOE damage. Increase it to 10 +.

If people charge in as a stack they should pay for it in lives. Anyone knows you spread out to take less damage from shrapnel. This game needs that one basic military rule.

How do you find perma invis thieves dangerous. They are annoying. Last one I encountered I just droped a bunch of wells and marks and ressed a “friend”. “my necero” The one before that I just got tired of and ran off droping bombs behind me. “my engi”.

Maybe on my non invi mesmer or my venom share thief I’d have problems. I’m not sure about my a/h gs ranger. It’s a new build but damage need to be tweaked.

What's going to be the next linen.

Posted by: Arnon.1563

Arnon.1563

Your points are very valid. If it’s not plat I really don’t see another linen. I have a 400 jewel craft char and don’t recall any usage of leather in that or food. So they’d have to add another base mat to each or dramatically decrease leather drop rates. Which they might.

However I wonder if they take into effect how this effects new chars and their ability to craft armor that is useful. I used to make armor for my alts as I leveled them up “rares” Now it isn’t worth the cost. Easier to save the cash and buy stuff with WvW badges etc..
