looting is horrifically tedious

There is a link between Anet making money and the way looting works. They aren’t going to make it easy for you to sell your inventory junk anytime soon.

This is the thing, of course. We now have showers of loot all the time because it constantly fills our bags and encourages us to buy inventory slots with gems. Plain and simple.

Coming back to the game after a 2 year absence, this is the thing that I find jarring about the state of the game. It has been such a positive experience otherwise, but the loot situation just feels broken.

even people with inventory/bank slots still have to deal with sigil/rune spam. theyre screwing over everybody with this nonsense. whether or not you have bag slots you still have to either run to a vendor to sell them or delete them one by one.

I don’t think the chance to get higher mats is significant enough to warrant using anything but a Basic Salvage Kit. Unless, one is salvaging Rares or higher. I believe there is information in the Wiki about each salvage kit and salvage rate.

crude kits( which stack to 15, instead of the normal 25,) have 0% chance at rare materials.

the next one up which more conveniently stacks to 25 has a 1 in 10 chance of getting rarer materials

mystic, masters, and silver fed kits have a 1 in 4 chance at rarer materials..

Are you saying a 1 in 4 chance is not so much better than 1 in 10 ( even 1 in infinity) to warrant using it?

If so, you either just dont care about getting higher level mats or your math is just bad.

What is the issue that needs fixing?
Salvaging has never been guaranteed to only return items that have value.
All the “useless sigils” can be sold to vendors.

If you read the post you would know.

“All the “useless sigils” can be sold to vendors."

are you saying you would like to loot a little bit, port, come back, loot a little bit, port, come back, loot a little bit, port, come back, loot a little bit, port come back?

There is NO good argument against fixing this issue. I dont even want to hear it. this IS an issue that A LOT of people have. Pretending this problem doesnt exist is just willful ignorance.

or would you like to buy black lion merchant every 30 minutes to sell your sigils to. Which, even then, takes time to do and slows you down.

I dont even want to hear any argument that pretends as if this isnt an issue. it is an issue. It has been an issue, and should have been fixed a long time ago.

seriously, can SOMETHING be done about these useless sigils/runes on every piece of gear?

“use cheap salvage kits” well then you have a much lower chance of getting good mats from salvaging.

And ask yourself, should ridiculous sigil/rune spam even be a trade off of getting better mats? makes ZERO sense to make that argument. The trade off is already that the better kits cost more.

I dont care what the devs do to fix the issue: but here are some things i thought of.

an inventory item that eats ALL non exotic sigils AUTOMATICALLY. I dont care if it doesnt even return you any copper at all. returning like 2 karma per sigil would be usefull and not overpowered.

Master salvage kits that DONT recover sigils AT ALL

REMOVE sigils/runes of blue/greens on level 80 gear that drops from chests/monsters. Who the hell even uses these in the first place? most people atleast have rares, and if not, they can simply buy a cheap ass green sigil if they want to use a green sigil from the trading post.

I spend atleast 4 times as long looting AB than i should have to due 100% to these useless sigils/runes

make them salvageable themselves

make ALL kits have a toggleable feature to enable/disable recovering of upgrades

I literally fought a necro today on my gaurdian.

I had the talent to turn condi to boon

i had soldier runes

i had 3 shouts.

i had trait that remove condi every 10 second

i had heal skill remove condi every 10 second

i had convert to boon utility skill

I still was kittennig slathered in condis even after i countered his corrupt boon with with convert condi skill and shouts

also, the entire fight i have to watch my condi bar to make sure im only using shout to cleanse important condi, which makes my awareness go down. cant watch the necro for skill cues or even know other enemy around until theyre already attacking me thanks to this stupid shlt

it is either run or die against GOOD condi necro if its 1v1

guild wars 2 combat system for PVP has been flawed since its conception and its the main reason why gw2 pvp isnt fun for most people

that said its certainly fun to play as and like i already said its great for PVE. you can defend it for pvp but the fact that the pvp population is what it is will not agree with you.

Do you play as a DH or as a core guardian?
Because if you play as a DH and die against a necromancer you’re seriously bad.
But looking to the skills you mentioned you’re using a core build focused on support and boons against a class that ANet chose and fixed only to fight boonspam builds.
A necromancer will always win against a class that spam boons because have a large amount of fuel for his skills and damage.

Also your build seems to be not optimal. Starting by your use of Signet of resolve, that is the worst heal skill in sPvP you can use (1 second of casting easy to see and interrupt) and the choice of your traits and skills, you play an old build good Only in team fight, hoping to fight a Reaper (not only a Necromancer but his Elite Specializzation) that totally counter your entire build, with no offensive utility and maybe not even full offensive weapons.
if you want to kill a necromancer, go in Meditation with GS/Sword+shield(or focus) and burst down the necromancer faster as you can.

If you play a core support build in 1v1 you don’t have to pretend to kill anyone.
No matter what’s your amount of condi clean, if you can’t kill the enemy fast enough you’ll be covered by conditions. And to fight a necromancer spam buun is the worst choice you can do.
Condition damage had been powered up enough to make someone able to kill you with it, then is easy to think that no one is able to totally clean the conditions all the time long. Unless you play a warrior… but that’s another story.

You’re only a big L2P issue, nothing more.

Like i said you guys can try to say its specific players who need to learn to play, but the fact is the majority of people who play gw2 dont enjoy pvp because of the issues i bring up.

keep making it seem like its l2p but thats just willful ignorance and not helping anybody except yourself when you want to justify your time spent in pvp. The way condis work is just not fun when you have to play against it in pvp, and i was aware a bunch of kids would try to tell me to l2p if I gave an example of a build. I could have used literally any build and any prof as an example, and people would still tell me to l2p because people have an ego issue where they think anybody who complains about how the game work’s is in fact just bad which isnt the case. Even when I did well in pvp and/or won the game i still didnt have fun.

even if i was bad the facts agree with me, not you. spvp in gw2 is at this point an after thought. not many people actual enjoy it, relative to the amount of people who enjoy wvw and pve. This isnt a coincidence, and that doesnt mean everybody who doesnt enjoy it just needs to learn to play. GW2 would have died almost instantly if it was just spvp, but would still be going as strong as it is with just wvw and pve. spvp is a niche area and many people who play it currently suffer the actual gameplay of it just for achievements and rewards.

So you used a boon spamming build against a boon corruption build and expected to not have to pay any attention to your condition cleanse?

shouts remove condis from me. 2 at a time. i only used them after i had condis. and then when i had a bunch of boons they corrupted them. and after that i used convert to boon skill to get rid of all of them, but then they just reaplied all the condis anyway because thats what im complaining about. You kids need to stop trying to poke holes in legitimate complaints and defending kittene mechanics just because you think youre better than everybody who complains. Youre not.

it doesnt matter what prof or what class you play. you will get slathered with condis despite even building 100% maximum condi cleanse/remove/transfer whatever because thats how guild wars 2 is.

The only way they can be handled is if a team aoe cleanses constantly or just cc locks/kills the caster but that alone tells you that its kittening stupid.

It works for just about everything.

theres two damage types.

condi and direct damage.

building vitality/toughness and using boons like protection mitigates direct just fine.

building vitality and using condi cleanse hardly makes a difference to condis.

so no.

If you want to be totally immune to conditions, that’s not balance, is just a L2P “i don’t want to be killed by conditions!”
Conditions can kill you as direct damage do, just slowly and hardly.

Against every single build in this game, if I lose, I last longer against a condition build than against a direct damage build.
Direct damage still kill you easier and faster than conditions. if it is not, then the enemy is using a hybrid build and killing you with both direct and condition damage.

Conditions have to be able to kill you and you can’t clean them all. Just learn to clean the “condibomb” if the class is able to make one, then all the other damage is a normal damage. Just wayt to clean more stacks instead of clean the first 2 and die against the other 20

Cheese Builds

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Envy.1679

Envy.1679

Cheese is often something that works very well in a relatively small area, as well as being something not usually done

Like something that wins 90% -100% of the time but only vs a small % of player’s youll actually run into.

This doesnt have to be a build, it can also be a playstyle or specific play.

For example, here is an example of Cheese in league of legends:

https://youtu.be/uBORCUQ8jyY?t=53s

The play wasnt standard and required little skill, however it instantly killed his opponent.

One example in guild wars 2 I could think of is the old warrior Mace F1 stun and then frenzy+hundred blades. Most people will have some kind of way to get out of it or mitigate the damage, however some people might get caught and it will devastate them. That is cheese. Even more so if his entire play style evolved around that combo.

DDOS Attacks

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Envy.1679

Envy.1679

If you are serious

step 1: open command prompt and type:

ping google.com -t

for 5 minutes and see if you get any high MS or request timed out, etc

if thats good and you think you might actually be “hacked” or have a virus or whatever along the lines of that just format your PC.

Any commercial PC place will do that for 50$ or more but its not hard to do it yourself. Back up the files you want to keep via external usb/harddrive or something like google drive and then format

Reinstall windows and you will guaranteed 100% not have any viruses unless you happened to back up the and put it back on there.

By default all ports on windows are closed until used by something that needs it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

The way many ddos works is that they request info repeatedly. They cant request anything if you dont accept requests in the first place. You should read about ports and ddos and you could probably fix the problem yourself. A virus’s job is to open a port to requests. “hey this port is now open let me request the same thing from this guys PC a few thousand times a second” but wait dont you see whats up here? This works well to take down websites, because they cant serve other users because they have to upload the request, but you dont have to serve anybody. Not much, anyway. its highly unlikely the badnwidth you use to upload the info they request is enough to lag your internet.

The reason websites cant fix as easily as somene who is just running a PC is because they cant differentiate between the real and fake requesters but if you know everythign youre connected to youll know everything that isnt supposed to be requesting stuff from you, and it actually is possible to prevent your personal computer from benig vixtimzed by DDOS.

Its kind of ridiculous to even suggest this is a DDOS attack on your PC though. it is most likely just internet packetloss.

This is further demonstrated by the fact that low bandwidth does not make you lag, packetloss does. People with 50kb/s connections can play gw2 without any lag in game as long as they dont have packetloss. The info needed to communicate with the server is tiny. Thats not to say that bandwidth cant be squeezed so hard that they drop packets, but this almost certainly isnt a ddos attack. its just packetloss.

An item that eats sigils WITH NO CONFIRMATION

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Envy.1679

Envy.1679

Why is this necessary?
Because you can’t be bothered to vendor them?
What would this new rune / sigil gobbler give in return? More junk? Oh goodie (not).

How about we just add an option at the merchant to sell all runes / sigils akin to what you’re suggesting as options on this new item. Wouldn’t that be sufficient?

So you’d rather go to a vendor instead of having it in your inventory all the time?

I go to a vendor now. It’s not like there aren’t vendors all over the darn place. The only real exception to that is WvW.

There really wouldn’t be any point to carrying this new item in my inventory because it’d be clogging it back up with more junk for feeding it the junk sigils and runes. I suppose yay for more salvaging, except when (like the other eaters) it gives me something grey and I have to go to the vendor anyway.

I just don’t see the suggestion as a QoL improvement.

I updated my post, doesnt look like I did it before you posted this.

Also “clogging it back up with junk” Where did you get that idea? I didn’t suggest anything like that anywhere in this thread whatsoever.

No I didn’t see the update, yes I responded before the update.

In regards to the wallet, I think I was on board with that one to some extent. I didn’t feel it was something negative, depending on how it was done. However, that’s neither here nor there regarding this topic.

You are suggesting a new gem store feature. I am questioning the purpose of that feature and whether or not it can be achieved via another (potentially more viable) method.

No, your suggestion didn’t say anything about giving anything in return for eating the sigils / runes; however, I really don’t know anyone that is going to buy an item that is going to eat their items and give them nothing in return when they can vendor them for at least a few copper (as inconvenient as they might think it is. C’mon, people post kitten on the TP for 1 copper more than vendor price which says they very much care about getting those coppers). They are going to expect / want / demand something. At which point, if it works akin to Princess and such, you’re just going to reclog your inventory with junk, resulting in you going to a vendor anyway.

I am, in a sense, trying to suss out the full thought process behind your item and how it might (or might not) fit.

“You are suggesting a new gem store feature. " another thing I never said.

" I really don’t know anyone that is going to buy an item" An argument based on something i never said. Also making assumptions about what other players will spend money on. Assumptions within assumptions.

“you’re just going to reclog your inventory with junk” The same thing I just told you I never said. Its also almost as if you think itll be impossible to work around that and make it not produce junk.

The purpose of the item is to remove sigil/rune spam in a more efficient way than currently exists. you keep making assumptions that happen to be negative and using those assumptions to say “no this item isnt needed”

Would other ways to fix the same problem exist? certainly. but thats not a sound argument to shut down this way. This isnt directed at you, but in general, you cant say a solution wont work because theres also other solutions.

Before you say, “destroy them” or “put them in mystic forge” or “vendor them” Stop right there. Dont want to hear it. Thats not the idea and my idea would be better than all of those.

Sigil spam is stupid, salvaging stuff is so unnecessarily tedious with them. Would be even better if the item that ate them could just be rightclicked and had options

You know that there are some salvaging kits that give more sigils and some give less?
If I have full inventory with a lot of collected stuff I only have a handful of sigils left after I used my copper-fed salvage-o-matic to clean my inventory.

So, I think a better and more consistent way for people that don’t want any sigils at all would be to make a salvaging kit, that does not give any i.e. blue/green sigils.

Actually with this idea people are free to use mystic salvage kits (which stack at 250)without having to worry about sigil spam.

benefits:

higher quallity salavage obtained

dont have to waste inventory space on cheap slavage kits that dont stack to 250

sigil spam is gone

There is no idea here to discuss … would it be nice to have something available to deal with sigils you didn’t want? Sure, but that’s not really an idea that can be implemented.

I don’t think right clicking the item that ate them for options would make much sense; most of those items have 25 uses and you aren’t always eating armors/weapons wtih them. It’s just as annoying to set the option for each of those as it is to sell sigils at the merchant.

Frankly, I don’t think the problem is worth addressing; it’s just a small QoL fix.

The item wouldnt disappear. You would set the option and the next time you double click it it’d eat runes and sigils based on the currently selected option. It would remain in your inventory afterwards. It would be a a big improvement IMO.

“Im not interested in arguing why its needed. I was right one time before therefore I’m right again!”

I bet that will work as well for me as it does for you.

Its more “I know people will argue against good ideas just because people like to argue.” Also, that isnt called an argument. Thats called an opinion.

My actual argument is that sigil spam is stupid and that it should be remedied.

The part about my knowing it is a good idea is called an opinion. Learn the difference please.

If it’s an suggestion then you should be willing to argue it to refine it and make it better, not try to close down discussion by calling everyone who wants to discuss this suggestion argumentative and against it. That’s not how suggestions work. A well thought out suggestion with the problems hammered out is much more likely to be considered by ANet than some half baked idea that someone put up then refused to discuss to try to improve. They’re busy people you know, and if you don’t think the idea is worth working on then why should they?

“refine it "

AKA balancing which I already stated I dont care how its a balanced that’d be up to the developers. Thats not me saying “im not willing to balance it myself” thats me understanding that if the item is considered the developers will balance it themselves if they implement it. Its a complete waste of time trying to “refine” it.

Its one thing to suggest a complete feature (which I did) its another thing to try to say exactly how it’d be balanced.

Why is this necessary?
Because you can’t be bothered to vendor them?
What would this new rune / sigil gobbler give in return? More junk? Oh goodie (not).

How about we just add an option at the merchant to sell all runes / sigils akin to what you’re suggesting as options on this new item. Wouldn’t that be sufficient?

So you’d rather go to a vendor instead of having it in your inventory all the time?

The reason I put “dont want to hear it” in th epost is because I expected posts just like this.

I know my Idea is good, but people will argue it even if their input is even worse than the idea in the original post. Some people have brains that are just inherently argumentative and automatically want to argue about everything. I know my idea is good. So im not going to argue “why its needed”

Same thing happened when I suggested gold be shared accross all charcters before wallets existed

“But I would never use sucha feature!”

“But I LIKE running to my bank to give gold to my other characters!! Bad idea OP!!”

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/suggestions/combine-gold-for-all-characters/first#post1842746 Despite me just 100% knowing my idea was good people were still saying it was bad

“I don’t really see why this is needed in the game” literally a quote from this thread equals the same thing as your "Why is this necessary? "

Its almost like people cant learn from past experiences.

Its more, “I understand that some people will argue against even good ideas because some people are just naturally argumentative.”

And its not just once, thats just one of the things I could provide actual proof of.

Im not using that previous thread as validation, im using it as an example of how people argue against good ideas. It’s also why I don’t feel the need to argue why my idea is good. I know it is. Its an opinion. I can have one.

Your post here is completely invalid.

I go to a vendor now. It’s not like there aren’t vendors all over the darn place. The only real exception to that is WvW.

There really wouldn’t be any point to carrying this new item in my inventory because it’d be clogging it back up with more junk for feeding it the junk sigils and runes. I suppose yay for more salvaging, except when (like the other eaters) it gives me something grey and I have to go to the vendor anyway.

I just don’t see the suggestion as a QoL improvement.

I updated my post, doesnt look like I did it before you posted this.

Also “clogging it back up with junk” Where did you get that idea? I didnt suggest anything like that anywhere in this thread whatsoever.

Before you say, “destroy them” or “put them in mystic forge” or “vendor them” Stop right there. Dont want to hear it. Thats not the idea and my idea would be better than all of those.

Sigil spam is stupid, salvaging stuff is so unnecessarily tedious with them. Would be even better if the item that ate them could just be rightclicked and had options

1: Eat All runes/sigils rare and below

2: Eat all runes/sigils green and below

3: Eat all blue runes/sigils

4: Eat all runes/sigils.

What do I get from this? Selling them and getting a few copper/silver/gold is better than nothing.

Dont know dont really care. the quality of life is more important than the useless amount of currency to me as it currently is.

so you’ve come up with half an idea? Nice.

No ive come up with a complete idea while leaving the balancing to developers.

I’ve probably made 60+ gold on all the sigils I’ve vendered.

I could go to mechanical turk and make enough to buy a McDonald burger too. But why though.

Is this a gemstore item, and if so how much would it cost? If it’s sold by an NPC vendor, is it infinite or does it have a set number of uses and then you rebuy. Does it cost to use it like the copper fed salvage kit costs?

thats all up to developers, but the idea in general can be asked for

idea for boon ripping

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I am not a big fan of the current condition system in the game, so yes unless this and its availability for all classes is revised i do not care for another condition. You can call it Paul for all i care, condition damage and the connected gameplay varies too much from gimmick to push over. While similar is true for boons i higly doubt that exchanging one poorly implemented mechanic for another is the solution to overstacking.
Regarding your bait and attempt of putting me into the position of a power peasent i suggest you try to be less condecendig or might recive an answer in kind. This however is not the foundation one should try to build an argument on.

You even missed the pun in beging afraid of condition… Shame on you

Edit: if i am not clearly unterstandable, english is not my native language and i write from my phone, thus autocorrect proves to be quite the condition.

It simply feels like If I hadnt presented the mechanic in the form of a condition you wouldnt have had that reaction.

If any class gets boon ripped by any class, they shoudlnt be able to reapply the same boon within 3 seconds. That is my suggestion whether or not it is in the form of a condition.

This does not add an actual condition to the game, it only deals with boon spam.

Yeah well if you think the game needs more condition and even ones you can not cleanse have fun. i see no reason to bumb this threat if you just want to drive the condi masterrace agenda. Have fun.

It’s like the word condition scares you.

Its basically a cooldown. You could call weapon skill cooldowns conditions.

You’re attacking the idea for the use of the word condition instead of arguing against the mechanic presented.

Yup give a boon when ever you cleanse a condition that can’t be stripped and makes you immune for those condition. Sounds rather bad? Well there you go. I sincerly doubt we need more conditions in gw2 while the existing ones aren’t well implemented.

Thats an hilarious example of a strawman argument
