Where to draw the line?

Charming Rogue.8071

I just don’t get how a game with so much potential, could end up in such a grindfest. Holiday’s are supposed to be fun, yet they suck out all the fun parts. There’s so many and easy ways to make money off the gemstore by just adding rehashed items people want, yet they add crap like fireworks or new boosters (who the heck buys this crap?).

If only there was one sane person left at arenanet that could make all the right decisions for them, cause for some reason they always pick the exact opposite of what people want.

“You want easy to access holiday items? lol think again”

“Oh, we read your feedback, the holiday items costs too much. You know what? We’ll just make them 50 times more expensive, you’re welcome.”

Snowflakes - Outrageous Overreaction

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Charming Rogue.8071

Charming Rogue.8071

After the massive banwave with the karma exploit I doubt that anyone would knowingly exploit and risk a ban. I wouldn’t want to risk all the time and effort I put in creating my characters over a few hundred golds. Sure it’s a lot, but not worth it.

First I heard about it was a thread on this forum saying: “How to use 1 ecto and make more”, or something. Sounded like a regular thing, never once did the word ‘exploit’ pop in my mind.

Also, the way this guy tells the story is exactly how I would do it too, and I’m against exploiting. Crafting items, salvaging them and then selling them back on the TP is a normal thing and not considered an exploit.

I’m glad I didn’t notice the snowflake thing, cause I would’ve made millions not knowing it was considered an ‘exploit’.

As sad as the story is something tells me he did it more than 100 times or so nobody would say “yea i did it 15,952 times and i didnt think it was bad.”

I would. Considering I crafted a few hundred rares from silk, and sold them back to the TP for profit. That wasn’t an exploit, was it? Made about 50g doing that in few hours. Am I going to get banned now?
Now it’s obviously not viable anymore, it was just a quick ‘gap’ between craft material and the crafted item. Like the guy said, after I did it (and more people caught on) the market stabilizes. This sort of thing happens all the time on the TP, any active TP trader knows this.

You're Not Zerker?! *kicks from party*

If you don’t want to play Zerkers then don’t play with zerker only parties. All indiscriminate accepting parties don’t check for zerkers.

That would be possible, but when something goes wrong when doing the dungeon, it’s blame the “non zerker” phase as the boss didn’t died fast enough and we wiped.

Makes me wonder though, if you’re not running zerk, and you’re not keeping the party alive. Then what are you doing?

All you whiners, listen to the OP.

Comparing an in game event and repeating the superbowl for eg is different on so many levels

You don’t think there’s additional costs with these events? What about the people who have to work overtime?

Idk where I said otherwise. Do you pay to watch the Superbowl at home ? No. Did you pay $ to play a working game ? Yes.
“Watch it on yotube " I can’t exactly get in game loot from yotube.
Inb4 someone says “I pay electricity to watch the superbowl” lol

You payed money for what you signed up for. An MMORPG to play. You didn’t pay for the dynamic events, that’s just an extra that arenanet is giving you. They don’t have to add this stuff, they do it to make their fans happy. But some people are just impossible to please, I hope arenanet gets this.

I have the Acolyte of Dwayna title, and the way I unlocked the Feathers of Dwayna was to craft the legendary Dreamer. I sold it on the TP after I crafted it and I am now happily running around with my Acolyte of Dwayna title.

I did this pre-patch, but I don’t think it matters because when you craft the Dreamer it automatically unlocks the skin in your wardrobe, which is what you need for the title.

Charming Rogue.8071

This thread is too big to read it all, and it’s probably already mentioned before but….:

PLEASE don’t change Tequatl times like this. The times you’re putting his spawn in are times that people are either sleeping (4 am) or in school (1 pm). And for me personally while I’m at work (7pm). I know other people who have work at that time too.

For us you’re putting the Tequatl spawn times at hours where we won’t be able to do Tequatl at all anymore. What’s wrong with the 2 hour daily spawn time? I can’t speak for other servers, but Desolation has been killing him for at least 8x a day since people have figured out the mechanics.

I’ve also yet to receive a Tequatl Hoard, regardless of killing him 2+ times a day since release. You’re killing me here with these changes.

On a different note: failing a wurm attempt now means you have to wait 8 (!) hours to do another one. How can this possibly be seen as a good idea?

I was disappointed when I found out about the current costume system. I thought it would be like the one in gw1. It’s stopping me from buying any outfits here, because I don’t like it being a one-use (I have to get full exotic first, else I also have to spend MORE gems on transmutation stones later).

If it was multiple use, I would have bought all the costumes already. hint hint

Also, the town clothing is a big fail. I’ve never seen anyone use their town clothing. It’s just too much of a hassle to switch every time.

For a ‘high’ populated server like Desolation, the instances shouldn’t be as empty as they are now (except for Orr of course). Balthazar is always contested, and I feel like I’m walking around the world alone. It’s really stupid.

I support the idea of an ‘underflow’ map. A simple popup with: “This area doesn’t have a lot of players, so an underflow map has been created. Do you wish to go there? Yes/No/Re-enter queue”

Legendaries shouldn’t have been tradeable in the first place. This is a good step into the right direction where Legendaries actually require you to achieve something. Rather than mindlessly farming gold.

I love Lunatic Inquisition, but it seems every game I get into now people are spamming mad king says. It’s not really fair when a ghost can just sit back and spam that skill until you do the emote, get killed by the amount of times they can use it, or they catch up to you from the stun. At the moment it is way too OP, the game mode is fun, but getting killed from spam is annoying.

Thanks for reading!

You know what’s OP?

The fact ALL the villagers can get hammers and completely destroy the ghost…

Funny, when I’m a ghost and see a group like that I see free kills.

Fear —-> choose a target —-> Mad King Says —-->Repeat

Depends on how many you’re dealing with and how coordinated they are. if they trade off chaining 2, and smashing you while you’re down, game over. yes you respawn, but in the few seconds of lag between respawn and ability to respond, they can smash you down again. it’s quite fun to watch.

Spam dodge, problem solved.

To be honest, villagers can’t win. Ghost are just way too strong.
They kill you in 2-3 hits, they have fear, stuns, can force you to stop from long range. They have a legalized wallhack.
If you can’t win as ghosts, you fail pretty hard.

daily’s or monthly’s, which both can be completed in less than 3 hours of work

I play a game to have fun, not to have an extra job.

This is probably the least grindy game I have ever played, the experience gathering is so organic and diverse it never feels like a grind, and kill the same monster hundreds of times is probably the least efficient way to level.

I don’t think he’s talking about levelling, but more about grinding gold or materials to make weapons (including legendaries)

So the results are +/- 118g 35s 2c in gold, 2335 Gems in items (assuming you have use for all the items I listed, since that’s personal.) which in 1 currency would be 4088 gems with a 4000 Gems investment, or 274g 96s 27c for a 270g investment. With the potentional of +50-150g if you wait patiently with selling the Ticket-Weaponskins.

Yeah, but all that stuff is useless XD (At least for me anyway). I’d rather buy a cool armor set or something with gems. Or a Bank tab, Or infinite tools. Or character slots. You know, things that actually matter!

Party leader leaves - Sorrow's Embrace

Posted by: Charming Rogue.8071

Charming Rogue.8071

I think this is more than just coincidence, it’s happening all too frequently lately. As soon as the second to last boss is cleared, they suddenly have to go and you’re removed.

In reality they’re just using the saved progress to invite their friends or guild mates and give them easy access to the tokens, this needs to be resolved and the players that are exploiting this mechanic punished.

That doesn’t work. If the leader leaves the group he gets kicked out of the dungeon himself. As this HAS been fixed. It’s still annoying though that if the leader actually has to go, or leaves too early, that all players have to suffer for it.

Starting to think that they might have been right all along. But I just can’t give it up. At least the game is directed towards casuals and as such I’m playing it as that. A casual game. It’s pretty insulting that they try to force this game into esports, because you can’t make a casual game into a competitive one.

Really, if you got all exotics, ascended trinkets, whatever you really do not have to spend gold on anything. When I was making my Legendary I rarely had more that 10g in bank now I am spending 30-40g every couple of days on gems and gear for alts.
