Will vendors be updated for PoF?

in WvW

Posted by: Cronos.6532

Cronos.6532

We will be adding a new currency that is similar to Proof of Heroics that will allow you to buy new sigils, runes, recipes, and hero points from PoF.

Awesome, thank you!

One more question, will these be available in skirmish chests, like proofs of heroics?

There will be a new skirmish chest with the new currency in them.

Thank you for not updating the existing chests. I hate when people who hold on to unopened chests are rewarded; keep doing this in the future.

I’m okay with this, but personally I was expecting you guys to add the Notarized Desert? Heroics to the vendor a few weeks after the launch of Path of Fire, rather than add another new currency.

Since these people were from EG the same guild as you, is this insight into what they plan to do or have done?

no; only those kicked were the ones involved/aware of the account sharing

I say instead of a crown, put a dunce cap over their heads that can’t be turned off…

It would not deter future buyers because the buyers are now only prevented from participating in pvp (which they did not participate in previously), they are pve-ers. In no way was their regular routine game play affected (aka pve and some wvw for pips). Slap on the wrist for the pve-ers. But better that something was done as opposed to nothing at all.

The buyers are down $400 each and I doubt they are getting there money back, Abjured did there job and got them first place, not their fault the buyers had likely never pvp’d before thus making it super obvious they paid someone to play for them.

Credit-card chargeback.

Fighting cats in home instance

No support. Probably one of the worst suggestions here. Not worth development time. Home instance isn’t a player-owned house. You can’t reverse accidental personal story decisions that impact on your home instance.

Key ring or equivalent is coming soon. Pieces are like sand, just use them and make the keys. Opening Aether chests isn’t worth it nowadays anyway

WHOA WHOA WHOOOOOOA there. A key ring is NOT “coming soon”, please manage your expectations. I have indicated that I would prefer to address keys through a key ring, however, I have NOT found anyone to do that work and it can’t be me personally. Considering that, a key ring is currently in indefinite limbo until I can find someone willing to take it on as a side project.

welp time to cancel my subscription. hey psst I’m a software engineer let Tom Stankus or Kevin Simons know I’m available for a remote position :^)

I’d also like to suggest Aetherkey pieces.
I know many will say that they belong on a keyring, but:

  1. They are not keys, just pieces, and
  2. People have been wanting a keyring for a while now, it still hasn’t happened, and removing them from mat storage in case a keyring is added doesn’t sound too hard.

Consider removing Unidentified Fossilized Insect and have someone make it so its vendor equivalent (3x Sandy Bag of Gear) drops instead once the Ambrite weapons collection is completed. Would probably make Dry Top-dedicated guilds even happier.

!!! ATTN: webdevs / Support site link dead

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Cronos.6532

Cronos.6532

Hey, the Support link at the top of forum pages is dead. On every other place on the website, it links to support.guildwars2.com which works. On the forum, it links to en.support.guildwars2.com which has a dead cert, so browsers like Chrome will never let you access the support site. With the recent ArenaNet post that literally suggests clicking this link to contact support, this should be fixed.

Could we get better boss balancing please?

I will note that this mission would have been WAY more fun, across the board, if we’d had access to Bloodstone gliding powers.

Seriously. And not just this fight, but other situations as well. The gliding skills are among the best things from this LS season, and it’s a shame to see them dropped like a hot potato after the first episode.

But… Episode 4?

When? Just because the same team made it doesn’t mean they implemented it. personally I don’t care for Episode 1 being the only one with those masteries; I’m fine with that. Episode 5 would probably be the second most fitting one to have them.

Reasons:

  • Recently, evil server admins have taken a liking to kicking players when the match is about to end. The options for reporting a server (“Exploiting”) aren’t very descriptive and action is unlikely to be taken, at least give us the option to hide servers which we’ll just be kicked from if we join.
  • Hide annoying servers which are “Private” but not Passworded
  • Hide servers from which I’ve been banned
  • Can’t be done with Filters
  • No Filters exist for “No Progression” servers

"The Head of the Snake" delayed

Cronos.6532

Hi all,

Sadly we’re not going to be able to launch the new episode “The Head of the Snake” on its intended release date today.

We were hit hard by the Seattle area storm and resulting power outage. We’ve been working to bring everything back online as quickly as possible, but after a series of setbacks, it’s become clear that it won’t be today.

Please accept our apology. We’re going to keep at it through the night and hope to be able to launch tomorrow, but obviously we can’t promise anything.

Mo

Please launch it at the regular time tomorrow as opposed to as soon as possible

Anyone else can't really feel environment?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Cronos.6532

Cronos.6532

The music. Some maps have gotten music that fits the environment (the creepy Orr theme, for instance, or the beautiful peaceful Ascalon theme etc.), but many don’t. And forget about the useless “dynamic” combat music: it either kicks in too late or it continues playing long after the fight is over. It’s really quite unfitting, so I keep it deactivated.

It only kicks in when fighting groups of enemies, so accodemtally hitting a mosquito doesn’t play a whole track. HoT has its own unique music, so keep it on.

New Scoring System

in WvW

Posted by: Cronos.6532

Cronos.6532

How is 5, 4, 3 any different from 3, 2, 1? In the end, the server in third place will be 2 points behind the server in first place, and 1 point behind the server in 2nd place for every skirmish in those positions. After 10 skirmishes with the same results, the third place server will still be 20 points behind the first place server.

How is this any better than 2, 1, 1?

1st doesn’t get 3x as many as 3rd place and 2nd doesn’t get 2x as many as 3rd place. Seems good to me.

The next release won’t have an event style boss like STK or Trio. Not saying we’ll never do them again, it just didn’t fit in the next release.

Siege the Stronghold and Prison Camp are the ones that give weekly rewards like the big bosses, but will it have a minor less-rewarding encounter like Spirit Woods or Twisted Castle, used as an interesting transition between bosses?

Our immediate focus, besides scoring, was to bring the Desert Borderlands map back, in the mixed borderland setup, that the community recently voted for.

Now that both maps are available to players, at all times, we can begin deciding if we want bloodlust to become a feature in Desert.

Make it so you can farm WXP by capturing Ruins, and make shrines similar to ruins.
