The auto reply is generally the most important part, but if you see someone standing still with AFK over their head you won’t whisper them at all.

Or res them…

The Gift of Battle

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

Please Arenanet, consider putting the Gift of Battle elsewhere. It’s the last item I need to make Twilight, and I’ve been just running around in random wvw maps trying to figure out how to progress this reward track. At this point I am no longer enjoying my time playing, specifically because WvW is not fun. At all. Yet it is still the only way to obtain the Gift of Battle. Please, it’s all I need/want, and I’m driving myself mad because I’m stuck here for god knows how long. I almost never see a commander tag anywhere, so I can’t run around with anybody, if I try to capture objectives by myself I get stomped by huge zergs or groups and I’m at a loss as to what I’m supposed to do now.

I was doing wvw last weekend for exactly the same reason. I had no idea what to do but I ended up just capturing a keep and then just move on to the next one to capture which keeps max participation up and ticks 300+pts every 5mins with guild and wvw booster and generally people left me alone.

Its quite boring just waiting for keeps to get captured and may not be the best way but it’s consistent and ~9hrs later I had GoB.
1 week later and today I have Twilight yay! Even better I never need to go back to wvw and have to put up with the inane and offensive map chat ever again.

HTH & don’t give up…

QoL: auto-accept rewards

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

The problem with auto-accept is that… well people ignore stuff that they don’t interact with. Is it really a ‘reward’ if you don’t notice you got it?

There are plenty of examples of this in the game already: people with autoloot think they missed getting ground chest rewards at Tequatl & Other world bosses, many folks think they don’t get spirit shards, and very few of us have any idea how much (or how little) gold we get from foe deaths — these are all things autodeposited to inventory or our wallet.

I agree with this, I have found autoloot to not loot some boss chests and I’m not sure under what conditions it happens so I end up trying to loot them anyway just in case.
Unlike the OP I would actually like to see the autoloot from big chests appear as a bouncy chest to accept so it is clear that you received it.

As for the interaction how about a key bind for accept next reward, and let the enter key trigger the OK button on the dialog.

Sorry OP this is one of the worst ideas I’ve seen here.

GW2 Remastered?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

Like many of you, I’ve been playing GW2 since shortly after beta and while I’m not as active as I once was, I still really enjoy the game and believe it to be the best overall MMO I’ve ever played. When considering some of the games on the market and those coming out this year, visually, GW2 is starting to feel it’s age a bit. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I think that areas such as the character creation, some animations and overall graphics would be a nice improvement.

When looking at the new possibilities available due to current gen PCs, do you all think that Anet will ever produce a remastered version of GW2 that contains more detailed character creator and improved graphics? If so, I wonder if it would be something added to an Xpack or just a quality of life update.

What are your thoughts about the possibility of a remastered version of GW2?

What’s wrong with the graphics? – it sill looks great.
Maybe you’ve been playing too much SAB

I don't blame Anet for skimping on festivals

A festival sometime between April and Halloween would be awesome. Summer holiday festival anyone?

>and last year it was the patch notes, which did seem rushed at the time but it was different and I gave Anet the benefit of a doubt last year because they were working on the expansion (at the time I just assumed they were working on something big, which later I found was HoT)

You’ve missed a year, last April HoT had been released for over 5 months

Why just cats?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

I don’t know if this has been said before, or not, but why just have cats that you can add to your home instance? That only really feeds into one group of people, cat people. I personally wouldn’t spend even 1 copper to get these cats in my home instance, but if I were given the opportunity to add puppies, or full grown dogs to my home instance I would blow through whatever gold it took! Please?!

But would dogs make you a pot of soup?

Surely the only purpose is to delay the start of the next round so you can’t farm presents faster than the other activities? Same as the waiting for players takes ages between songs.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love it to be removed tho.

New graphics card?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

The usual advice would usually be get the best card for the budget you are prepared to spend. If you only play gw2, and the 280 does everything you need then you should be able to get some pretty sweet deals for one on ebay. However for some future proofing the latest cards from both mfs are well worth a look. Id suggest the Nvidia 1050 or 1060 range. I picked up an evga 1060 6gb a while ago and it handles everything I’ve thrown at it on ultra at 1280 (doom, witcher 3 etc)

Awesome names!

I have one question for Anet… I named my pet after my cat Booboo. A few months after I got a message saying that it was inappropriate.

What’s wrong about that name?

I guess like the forum the first 4 letters make the word kitten :-)

It would be really useful to be able to assign keys to ‘Deposit All Materials’ and ‘Compact’ in the inventory so we don’t have to go through the fiddly menu all the time.

Could we make crafting be instant?

Posted by: DocRimpel.5280

DocRimpel.5280

When it comes to crafting, I just wish all tab-categories began collapsed — that would be a dream-come-true…

Agreed. However I’d really like it to remember the expanded state of each category, per character.
Can be stored locally, no need to persist it server side.

Agree with the above points, the psu is easily improved and the evga 750 gold is the same price as the listed one. You are a bit limited for coolers for that mobo but if you did get a z97/lga1151 instead you have the cooler Master 212 evolution or my favourite the be quiet pure rock available.

Can you also introducr a 3o keys selling option?

+1. tho perhaps the option should be to purchase the number of keys remaining in the current price tier. so initially it would be to buy 30, but if you have already bought 1 it shows 29 etc.

And we shouldn’t have to wait 3 months to fix a bug ‘accidentally’ introduced in a release. By definition that is what a hotfix is for.

Keep in mind that Dulfy’s guide may not match up with the achievement panel checklist. It did not for the DT and SW badge/coin collections. I haven’t really checked the one for the diving master as I got burnt out doing the conversion tables for the others.

If the achievement panel checklist actually has useful descriptions then I wouldn’t worry about it. If it’s just numbers then I’d be aware that the JP you have been attempting may not the one that you need.

you would know if you had completed that jumping puzzle!

How do you turn off the logging of receiving harvested items? it’s completely flooding my chat window making it useless.

Yeah I’ve played the new build for only 10 mins and this is really annoying. Who thought this was a good idea??? tbh this issue deserves its own thread, which i had intended to make when i saw this…
Alternatively is there an option to turn this idiocy off?

Found it uncheck chat tab options/game messages/inventory. But thanks so much for the development time you spent implementing this game changing QOL feature

It’s always been there. It’s just that it got checked instead of unchecked in selections for some reason with this update.

Ok thx vm, just noticed the ‘Your <armor> took damage’ msgs too, it’t not obvious what that falls under, so should just disable all ‘Game messages’?

As we love currencies so much in this game, how about earning an ‘XP token’ each time you fill the bar which can be used to purchase items from an XP Reward Vendor in Lions Arch.
