I’m working on a little series to help players who are very new to PvP to learn a little bit about how to play. The goal is not to provide a master course but instead to help players see that the game can be fun and can be understood.
As mentioned over in the wonderland that is reddit:
The video is a little long (I was rambling over an actual game I was playing)
The game play isn’t my best (See again I was playing and talking at the same time and trying to stay on a topic)
Nextly I wasn’t {gasp} running greatsword. GS bores me right now so I’ve been running s/x and staff just because I find them to be more fun.
I’m not the best SPvP player ever, but my goal was to help new players have another avenue to learn some basics of SPvP and not be afraid to try it out. If I’m able to convince one or two players to give this fun game type a go then it’s worth it in the end because the game is great and I want to see the community grow!
Immersion is everything. I have to have 100% immersion all the time or I will QQ. Don’t break the immersion or the game will be a ghost town!
Come on people. Let’s be realistic when we understand Turret Engi isn’t even the best build for their own class. I say this as a mesmer main who can get mauled by them. Be glad Anet is touching them at all. It’s the rock paper scissors game. None of the three is ever going to be satisfied.
Turret being conditioned is immersion breaking. You’re breaking my immersion. This is unacceptable. A turret isn’t alive how can it be poisoned or suffer bleeding?
If you nerf the turrets nobody will ever play engineer again. xD
IDK that this is necessary. What I think would help would be some higher locations so that when I place my anti-gravity turrets they would be in harder to reach places for anyone trying to get them. Or if you could make them float themselves instead of having to jump… that’d be grrrrrrreat.
I enjoy sidekicking as is… fwiw
MF causes issues with PUGs in dungeon groups because of giving up the extra stat to run MF thereby making runs take longer so less GPH and those running MF getting better loot while the rest of the party carries them through the dungeon. What one wears in PvE while farming karka is one’s own business. When someone is running it in a dungeon it would be nice to see it so you can make a determination. You could tell if someone’s MF comes from consumables or if they are running a full set of mf gear… that is if magic find were visible.
Game plays fine in Ubuntu with wine. No problems… doesn’t need a special client.
I could understand privacy if it worked like other stats, but it does not.
I was thinking of an idea for magic find. Personally I see a lot of people who hate it all together. I personally do not hate it all together, but I do think that there is one major issue that causes the outrage.
The main way is that people have no way to tell who is running magic find unless they are running sigil of luck. One thing that I think would be a good idea would be to somehow make magic find work more like a buff where you can see in some sort of status how much magic find someone is running.
Granted this would mean a lot of people running magic find gear may well have trouble finding parties, but it would also help put magic find in a place where it belongs. You are intentionally giving something up to gain a higher chance of getting a good drop in what you are doing.
Personally I will tend to run some MF on my accessories (all exotic), and as I play a support thief it fits with my build pretty well. I also run full exotic gear non MF for my armor. On my mesmer I wouldn’t dream of putting MF on as I run full zerkers exotic everything.
I do think there are builds that MF to an extent is OK but if it were visible it would make the trade-off more fair. Might even have groups out there that are “MF only” Where they may take a little longer to plow through the dungeon but have chance at greater loot.
Personally I usually run with my guild members and friends and my role is support and venom sharing. When I do my accessories are MF. We are coordinated and efficient and we plow through the dungeons we do. If I’m in a pug, however, I will take the mesmer and run my full zerker’s mesmer because it’s courteous.
So what do people think about displaying the mf% a character is running visably?
Nothing like a little Nerd Rage. Listen, ANET I’ll tell you this. Guesting as you’ve described it fixes the main issue that myself and most of my friends have had in the game. I’ve asked random people. I’d say 80% of the people I’ve talked to feel the same. Cross playing among Euro and US servers has never been something that was promised and at least you aren’t making it like other games where your character lives on one server and if you want to move servers you have to start over. Also even in games where you can transfer I’ve not seen one where you can transfer a character for free and even then you can’t play with friends on another server. But you gotta know if you change it… nerds will rage.
