Guild Wars 2

Thank you Cyninja and Lucos-
Social experiment concluded.

just to be clear- i’m looking for the perfect combo of armour , trinkets , and weapons . looking for 100 percent condition stats-
A token list will be fine.
Thank you in advance for the info –
ps- already seen metta and qt. I much perfer the minds of the GW players here .

Killed while holding objective- Decay timer started at death- lost 2 tiers running across the map to find anything to Kill/cap or both to stop decay – Well Done ANet- Once again i’m impressed .
Working as intended

if your in a hurry as i am in every event i participate in … Salvage blues , greens, and every yellow that’s “UNDER” 30 silver. Pocket the matts and collect the money later at the Tp.

I have mixed feelings on it- I’m only there for the achievements- Game has the potential to be fun but often the feeling is Wolfs among the sheep- Now that my daily is done- zero desire draws me back to it- Too each there own but if you need the points …. you’ll have to endure the broken part of to get them.
Side Note- Who ever bright Idea to let the Health one Hide behind 8888. I hope you catch a VD and be with out relief of medicine.
Till then… Hang in there OP

Title says it all- Fix this please-Thank you

Did swamp a few times with the guild as it was one that we did for fun as a tune up for the rest of the fractals we dive into. Since the changes … we’ve pretty much quit do swamp… Not because we couldn’t complete it but mainly it just stopped being fun. Mossman in the tunnel is a nice change but bloomy…. (well reasons) just no longer worth the time and effort. We all agree it was time for a change but from one extreme to the other was just a major turnoff. Thank you for the effort but we will be passing on it for now

… yadda yadda yadda …

I find the 15000 gap fair exactly because of the reason stated above, it allows people to catch up. I’ve been here since beta too but I cant come online every day as I have other stuff to do. Now should people like me who cant play every day be perpetually falling behind? I don’t think so.

Also, Ethan, from the way you write in this thread you seem like a rather rude person and thus I’ve no sympathy at all

You ask the question so i’ll answer it. DO i think people like you who can’t play everyday be perpetually falling behind ? YES- It is pretty much the concept in any facet of life. How do u not understand that?
You say u want to catch up…..WHAT exactly are you wanting to catch up too… when did this become a race between u and i?
You call me rude and offer no sympathy…. Funny i don’t recall asking you for any.

I made the experience thatmany player with very high AP 25k + are bad at this game. For example not understanding their class ect.

Whereis the point in playing 1500 Days if you dont improve your Gameplay.

I’m not sure what this even means but i will say this .. If your over 20k in points right now… Your Pretty much the backbone of the game for the past 4 years. Because of your efforts , you’ve made this game what it is and what it will continue to be. All i’m asking for is a better compromise to this issue. Hell i’d take a reduction in daily points if it would keep me moving towards my armour goal- 5 points or even 3.
Let me put it like this.
Jill has been working as a waitress for the last 4 years in a major eatery and is making decent tips while making a decent wage {earned over that time}. Jack just recently hired on and immediately feels that he should get exactly what Jill gets and wants to catch up to her … but not by putting in the time and effort that Jill has as already put in.
Now for some reason.. Management decides that withholding Jills tips is the answer as basically “Shes earned enough already and that the paycheck should just be enough”. So according to JAck and maybe even a few customers.. this seems totally fair. Meanwhile the rest of the staff who have time invested over the years are also being blocked from the tips. Now the only thing left for them to do is to look for pocket change on the floor during cleanup hour to make up the difference.

Maybe i’m wrong … But i feel like the People who have been showing up everyday to a game that’s been bleeding players for a long time have been dealt a rather bad deal in that decision. It’s simply how i feel .

Ok I Did It.2854:

OP as it has been mentioned, you will not get a reply from Anet on this topic, so you may aswell give up now,

There are a lot of players whom think the cap is stupid, and needs revised, in a game like this CAPs are bad, espically during month long content droughts where you don’t get any AP,

If I had to guess those who think the cap is great and should stay are either causal 2 hours a week players, or players who cannot control themselves and feel the need to grind out every point.

As for the leaderboards they should be scrapped also, they are pointless now, they will not change, even if a new players starting today ground out every single point available they still wouldn’t break the top 1000, so why keep them at all,

I would love to see the cap removed to allow us to continue gathering points, the fact that up to 60k points chest as been datamined says it all

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Achievement_rewards

At the current rate no one will hit 40k for another 3 years given the way AP is handled in game,

AP from anything in game including dailies, is not about catching up, its about your own personal goals and achievements, but because ive supported Anet from day 1 and played daily I am now being punished for it, so that those who have not or have no interest may or maynot catch up,

In around 80 days ill hit cap, I just wont bother logging in anymore after that, whats the point, so I can watch those who log in once a week slowly catch up, because I can no longer gain.

Anet got this one 100% wrong, and I know others agree with it, when you take away someones ability to achieve something ingame because they enjoy doing it, they get bored and leave, simples.

To each there own, to all those who enjoy others being capped so they can no longer progress, hope you still enjoy the game when the AP hunters quit for a new game,

Also to the 1500 days question, in the early days of GW2 each daily gave 5 AP so you could get 25 a day, it was changed at a later date.

I really HOPE Anet do pay attention to this topic and finally give us a proper reply.

Maybe they should just add a tick box that you can use, you click it to continue getting daily AP and if you uncheck it you don’t, cause im willing to bet that if they put that in, all those saying cap is great I don’t want dailys etc, wouldn’t be long hit ticking that box.

This in a nutshell. Personally I rather they just scrap the leader board and let me get back to progressing towards me armour set- I’m seriously running out of things to do to hold my attention.

Daddicus.6128:

You are correct, Ethan, but only if your goal is to get a full set of BOTH skins (radiant and hellfire). If you want just one or the other, you can get it at 30,000.

However, please note that “full set” does NOT include the back piece. That requires 39,000.

What I don’t understand is why they have both a cap and a dearth of ways to get APs.

I’m more or less going for both.

lokh.2695:

This thread is relevant to my interests…

28.8k AP here, reached the cap a month or so ago.

I’m a bit divided on the cap. I can understand the reasoning they had when they implemented it, the whole “newer player catching up” idea, the “AP hunters may get stressed” idea did’t wrk out for me, never did, never will. But as I’m aiming for the radiant armor, it would have been nice just getting there in a forseeable amount of time doing dailies.

Yes, I’m an AP hunter. And yes, missing a daily when it gave me AP was sort of “stressful” and the thought of “whatever, i’ll just rech the cap a day later now” helped a bit with that. But I was always well aware, that it was self imposed “stress”. “Stress” I willingly accepted when I chose “having lots of AP and a shiny to go with it” as my long term goal for this game. I don’t understand players who identify this sort of “stress” as a problem outside of themselves that is ANet’s business to fix/handle/adress.

The problem with the “newer players catching up” idea is, that it does not make sense with the amount of AP they hand out nowadays.
The “core AP”(like weapon masteries, slayer-achivements, story stuff, crafting achivements, regular PvP/WvW/EotM achivements etc.) are the same for all players. The vets have them and the new players can get them.
The AP that come with new content can be done by the Vets(if they’re still playing oc) and the newer players alike.
The historical stuff from back in the days, on the other hand, is gone for newer players. Unobtainalbe, not an option, gone.
Now, the historical stuff from back in the days that is no longer available for newer players used to net way more AP than what they put out now. Flame and Frost gave 148AP, Secret of Southsun gave (me at least) 155AP, Escape from Lion’s Arch 96AP and so on. Wheras Gates of Maguma had 38AP or Out of the Shadows giving 73AP.

Newcomers will only catch up to vets, if the vets stop playing new content. If the vets need to stop playing anyway so new players can catch up, the cap didn’t do much. If the cap doesn’t help newer players to catch up on players who did the old stuff and still are playing the game, the cap can be removed and I get my shiny armor faster.

Or, the cap would make a lot more sense, if the average chapter of a LS would still net between 90 and 150AP.

Thank you very much. I could not have said it any better myself. At least you understand the frustration.

Warcry.1596:

Either way, you can’t tell me there are NO other achievements you can work on. Screenshot every achievement page on your account if that’s the case.

We will be here all day for that one- Trust me.. all that’s left is pure grind. Smc capture etc etc etc

Warcry.1596:

Yes, we’re in the area of each other, off by around 600. How is that not close when talking about 27,000? xD

Sorry – You typed 11000- you left out your actual number of achiev. I can only work with what you typed.

Orangensaft.7139:

Why would you need 7000? that makes just no sense to me

1) you can get a full set at 30k points so you should only need 2k
2) if you chose the wrong pants at 27k then you would need 33k to pick the other ones and in that case you would need a total of 5000 more points

but in no case would you need 7000 points.. ?

i think 2k more is doable with a bit of patience

work on PvP and WvW achievements if you havent dont that as those really give a lot of AP
Else just wait for more living story and slowly work on what you havent done

Once you reach 30k you will be happy and feel like it really is something special that only a veteran player can achieve
(and newer players will also be able to get it … but only after a lot of time just like people who started at release who have already spent that time .. so it is 100% fair)

on the cap for 15.000 daily AP
that was a very good decision from anet
1) like you said it allows newer players to catch up (even though they cant catch up on some one time only events)
2) it definitly shows enough dedication to get 15k daily ap… and would just be more AP without meaning since daily AP are basically free
3) it definitly releaves AP hunters and stops stressing them so they dont feel forced to do the dailies everytime without an exception

We will just agree to disagree-

disagree on just everything i said?

then please still explain to me how you need 7000 more points because i really couldnt figure that out^^

HEllfire back piece awarded at 39,000 or 42,000 Arenanet – the wiki is unclear on which
will be used. Either way your focusing on the wrong part of the arguement . SO for now we just Agree to Disagree.

Warcry.1596:

I like the cap. I started from head start and did dailies everyday, I’m at around 11,000 still.
Besides, 2 gold per day is still PLENTY of incentive to do dailies.

I’m also pretty sure there are several achievements you can do that you haven’t obtained yet. As we are close in points and I can still do PvP, Fashion, Scribing, and most of the HoT achievements, just to name a few.

Not close at all . 27,956 points is were i am .

Justine.6351:

poor you ;-(

ive been here since beta too, and only got almost 17k. I don’t really see the need for cap but its been there for what seems forever too. Deal with it?

Am dealing with it. Just simply asking the question to the powers that be.

We will just agree to disagree-

So the cap is 15000 for daily points and now I’m more or less stuck just shy of 28000 with only 1 goal of trying to complete my armour collection of the hellfire set. It would appear that i need at the very least 7000 more points- Was this intended to make sense to anyone . I am being told in map chat that this is so late comers can catch up- CAtch up to what exactly. Sense 90 percent of us have been here since the begining…. why does a wall now stand between myself and my future armour. Why now do those who came late to the party feel the need to catch up to all the veterans who have been diligently chasing down these achievements . This confuses me greatly and has pretty my killed what little drive i had left in this game.
The 2gold reward is decent but does very little for my resolve. Looking for a dev response on this one.

I confess…. I was bragging to Chuck Norris in L.A. about how i could fight within a zerg and not die.. To put me in my place .. He informed me that he could kill random people in WvW just by thinking about them. My Bad … I’ll refund your armour cost.

Spoiler Alert .. Dhuum’s awake .. all that banging of hammers in LA has finally kittened off a sleeping Giant.
End result ….. we are all going to die.

I’ve often thought about a particular heavy class that arose from the ocean.
“The Pirate "
The lore for this creation would be rather simple since most of the games story arc’s in Gw1 an 2 contain great deals of pirate story lines. Nightfall especially contains quite a bit.
As far as weapon sets go , well that pretty much would be easy to do \
Spear , cutlass(sword) , Dagger , pistol , torch, and this one is a bit of a stretch due to having to introduce into the game but I would love to see a Net (like that used in the gladiator style of combat Spear/Net combo ). Forget about it

Not fond of any summons but if it had to happen . I guess some of the possible choices would be A mermaid summon where the ground below turned to water an a mermaid hand would reach out an drag u into the whirlpool created for a brief moment of immobility or damage whatever . Another possible summon would be a Harpoon gun that would spawn out of thin air an launch a spear an rope to the aggressor (think scorpion in Mortal Kombat) and said weapon drags u back to the pirate where he guts u or stuns. again just spit balling here.

A third possible skill could be Artillery cannon fire . Horac or horak or whatever the hell his name is with that shoulder mounted cannon , Quite possibly the most underused character in the game made one hellva an example of how the class could be played.

A fourth Skill an this is for the trolley effect but I envision a skill that when used the pirate sings a old shanty song that dazes the would be attacker. this would be like the same manner in which the mad king would tell his jokes. only faster an shorter.

Also and this is not skill related but could you imagine this pirate with a Parrot on his/her shoulder that would fly out an attack the enemy F1 2 3 4 skills like the ele changing elemental fields. each f # key gets a dif response , or simply use the parrot as another money sink as a back piece. I"M sure 70 percent of the remaining players would love to have another option that doesn’t require an actual backpack, or silly kitten book. The quiver an the flower made sense. The rest don’t.

I have about a bazillion other ideas but since I know this won’t happen . just thought I would finally take a moment to for atleast a minute believe a Pirate class would happen in a game surround by oooh say Pirates. That’s a ref for gw1 and for the sole reason that LIONS ARCH even exists . Just my 2 cents no need for change .

oh side note. For those raring up to sink their teeth into this an rip apart these ideas explaining point for point why this is not possible. get a life . This post was a simple opinion piece.

mmmmm As the OP as I am commonly refer to , I think its time to put a few items to rest.

1. I’m an achievement kitten . I love doing them an I’d prefer they be obtainable thur quests an or karma events. Even scavenger hunts are great an I will gladly kill any boss in PVE to get that achievement done.

2. I have the money/gold to buy most of the achievements but I neither desire or have the will to burn thur it to do said achievements. to buy an achievement is cheap (my opinion an only my opinion.) that said I didn’t buy your game so I have no right to suggest or muse or even politely point out a way u can play your game.

3. In all fairness , I did start this thread in frustration . That’s my issue an I will deal with it but I had to get it off my chest. I know some people had inside knowledge of the happenings of the patch and it’s evitable spike of the prices . I also know that quite a few capitalize on said knowledge . To believe otherwise is insane but hey its a game.
In RL though in the stock market I do believe that would of been a crime. but as I will state . SEE —-——→ (my issue ).

4. I see that most of the people here who were commenting on what they thought I was suggesting , saying , whining, complaining , etc etc . (I love assumptions by the way ) were pretty far off track . Good efforts all a round but just no. ( and again , its my thread so I’m responsible for not being more specific) . The 1000 gold comment was mainly aimed at the blacklion ticket/scrap weapons. Unless u farm or grind the gold to buy the weapons off the bltp or pull out the credit card for a little swipey swipey to get the gems For keys for chests .You will never get that one done. Then that achievement pretty much stays empty. (Que the responses that are popular thus far.. { don’t like it , don’t play it problem solve } { you don’t need to complete it so fast , its ment to be a fun progression an you’ll get them later } {Op just wants to buy his way to done, so sad for him . } yeah an a few more that really just boggles the mind. For those who haven’t figured it out yet . I have a compulsive problem when it comes to collecting , it a slot goes empty for to long that holds an items , it severely bothers me . And before anyone say the rather irritating response . YES IT IS MY PROBLEM!. who the hell else’s problem would it be. My post is a frustration towards it , albeit poorly produced but when alcohol is involved …. need I say more . For those to young to drink , don’t start you see where this post derailed . Don’t let it happen to u.

5. Now for the last an final bit cause I know many are tired of this thread . I feel the need to show an example of my compulsiveness ( thank god it has nothing to do with grammar although I’m sure someone could correctively ripped this post apart with all the errors but then you would be showing your compulsive side) just so we are clear an on the same page (see first line of section 1.) In Gw1 just to have something to do for the latter end of the game , I farmed green weapons . I literally ran to a boss an killed it over an over again until it gave me what I wanted . After about 2 months , I had and still have every possible green u can get from a drop. Then I had to get the endgame greens (beat the game -get a token – trade for endgame green – wash rinse repeat , after using all my toons (45 I believe I had ) I had to farm the remaining gold to to buy the tokens from other players to finish the PERSONAL quest .(yes I have issues ) but yes I got all those greens as well . by the time I was done , I had pretty much farmed well over 900 greens -closer to 970/980ish but i’m too lazy to pull the spreadsheet atm . See section 1 , first line again .

Now that I think I have properly explained my position on the matter , I’m happy to put the matter to rest. If u feel though that I have missed something , then please feel free to shoot me a message an I will gladly converse with u in game. More then happy to hear your rebuttal.

Thanks again

Lol turned out me couch and pockets. $2.35 cents and a half eaten cookie. Welp 34,999 chest to unlock now .

15 toons an screw buying keys . what else ya got . wait i gotta go to a B.L.C.K.F.A.A meeting soon so hold that though for awhile.

Hello
I’m ethan an I’m a key farmer addict . its been 1 week since i went after my last key.
Now that the key farm is broken (my opinion) I’m now left with the shakes and the cold sweat. oh and i have about 35,000 chests . What to do , what to do .

For the time being morfedel we will just agree to disagree. Fair enough?
EZD . I’m glad you get what I was driving at .

best post in a long while , my hats off to u .

Morfedel : I seem to recall my statement was "time to farm all the " key word there is farm or more so to the point “Grind” . I am all to happy to just play the game. I would much prefer to "Just play the game all the time ".

The point is simple boys an girls . I have no desire to buy anything on the Bltp especially now that the prices of most of the GRINDABLE items are now so far out of range for normal players that completing some of the collections will now require a Grind fest.
Now for the ones who like this as a Long term goal. I’m truly happy for you . I wish I had your enthusiasm, I really do but I was made differently . The thought of an achievement I cannot complete do to A). Buying gems for keys for chests for skins that really seem like an impossible goal . ( by the way I will accept any advice u have in taking my leisure time an playing the game so that I may procure said skins cause u know they are so easy to get an all .) . Running around killing the same kitten monster over an over an over an over (frostgorge anyone) an over to obtain the item.
See Grinding –
But the real issue nightwulf is that karma an account bound obtainable items would of been better (really should of stated this from the beginning but it was just to tempting to see who the anet supporters were in the thread. ) and would of made much more sense. I am a completionist in terms of these achievements . Its how I play my game an the current roadblocks to my goals are perpurtrated by anet an its underlying goals of forcing ,<———my word , players to buy gems .

These views are my sole Opinion an are not those expressed by this broadcast station. Any claims otherwise are false.

ALL THE FARMS are pretty much gone now. All that’s left is the BLTP stock exchange an buying gems . MMM MMM sounds good to me . Time to play the game straight for the 14th or 15th time….

No I did it right the first time .
Grab a seat an a cup of coffee. Replace those batteries in the calculator an prepare that spread sheet . Now go an calculate the costs of everything in the collections that does not involve karma an or a quest to get . No seriously i’ll wait . oooh coffee sounds good right about now … Brb

We told everyone in our server an our guilds that if they had any alts or toons they wanted to level to 80 . " DO IT BEFORE THE PATCH". Anet does not disappoint , we knew from the start that the system would be broken after the patch. As for the new peeps, well you will find out very fast as most of our Vets have found .Your on your own. Good luck.

Thank God I have the 1000 required gold and the time to farm all the stuff I need to complete the collections . ERMM wait I don’t … oh well .. hats off to all the players who received the inside info . Those prices were inflated way before the patch hit. Go figure….

25 gems for a key makes more sense to me . Rng in this game already super bad and the chest rewards in general are utterly useless . At 125 gems a key , I simply just say no. But hey common sense left this game 2 years ago . Get that money while u still can anet.

<————-TC here
Lethe I appreciate u saying that .. but the fact is , this happens to us every week . nuttin we can do about it cept to keep moving forward . Anet really doesn’t want to get involved with this issue or any other we have on WvW . Unfortunate but as expected. On a side note though , if that’s how the siege trolls wanna play , who are we to complain. Its the meta they chose . I would just prefer to have a way to combat it. In the Military , if u find a spy or threat in your ranks , U can deal with it head on. Usually with a bullet.

MMMmm anet must be on to something here . Yes yes they are definitely on to something here but why stop there. I’ve been telling all my rich and I mean seriously rich wvw guilds that we don’t have enough gold sinks. Its high time the tax man cometh. Now that Anet has adopted a Government style of accessing fees. Lets look into what else we can correct the pricing on shall we.

Well first an for most , along with siege razor requiring 5 folks to get him started . he should also require a payment plan of no less then 5g per person. After all he his doing most of the work.
Second I should think at all siege should also receive an increase of price. After all if a person can single handedly drop 20 to 30 sup ac carts in hills . Surely they can foot the bill for each piece to 100 gold each. that will keep the siege trolls away as well ..WIN WIN.
Furthermore I feel that the overall repair amour thing for free was a huge mistake on your parts anet.. I mean lets be real.. Theres some serious gold to be made in that area alone .. haven’t seen a single player run by me naked so u know they are loaded enough to pay for it once again.. However lets upscale that as well. I figure since a properly runed set with buffs runs into the high 20’s to much higher gold prices. I think that each piece should only be repaired for 5gold each.
How else are we gonna get all these WVW players out of the bl’s.. They need to be in pve brainless mining all this gold for the expenses. Lets be real folks …how dedicated to the cause can u really be . and on a side note if u can’t afford all these very AFFORDABLE changes,, well I hear WoW is looking for new peeps. Personally ima stand right here in line a beg for these changes . I mean my god man , after we cap spawn tower keep an garri ,, how can we not spend all this excess loot an gold ..its just sittin there in our storage wasting away . YES ANET MORE OF THIS !!!!!

Lets be real folks …how dedicated to the cause can u really be . and on a side note if u can’t afford all these very AFFORDABLE changes,, well I hear WoW is looking for new peeps. Personally ima stand right here in line a beg for these changes . I mean my god man , after we cap spawn tower keep an garri ,, how can we not spend all this excess loot an gold ..its just sittin there in our storage wasting away . YES ANET MORE OF THIS !!!!!

We have received your request an actively acknowledge your need for WvW videos.
we are currently looking into ways to make said videos with our remaining active gw2 wvw guild teams. Please be aware that at this time we are unable to discuss these developments and are unable to provide the videos at the requested timetable.
We ask that anet bare with us as our developer filming teams continue their efforts to bring about all the changes need to construct said video in a timely fashion.

It is our hope that we bring to you the very best of our filming but until such time has arrived , we will continue to work in the background an avoid any an all requests until we feel confident that the video is both forthcoming an flowing with Greatness.

so in closing
When the time is right an we feel that the video passes with flying colors (Meets the requirements of all of Active WvW Guild Wars Players ) then we will feel comfortable sharing said Video with the rest of what’s left of the wvw Dev team.

with warmest regards

Rasimir its funny you mention that about the launching pad.. I’ve recently adopted the practice of closing my eyes right before the launch on the pad . I’ve found that works great at teq. In drytop its bit different for me though. A friend of mine showed me a few spots where in certain jumps u can grab 2 aspect crystals in rout to a jump for no where in particular.. its upon that discovery that I noticed that with extra time I can carefully navigate less stressfully certain spots that again really lead to no where which is fine . Helps me gain an endurance for the vision induced motion sickness. Its only in areas that matter or when I’m trailing a teammate an there is only one aspect to use in the perspective area we need to complete that all the comfort is thrown out the window. U got to remember that for some reason the first jump is almost always a freaky double jump which then leads to a good jump but then cycles back to bad jump… its then that taking your time no longer matters cause now your starting all over again.. this time however its with an increasing degree of difficulty due to the nausea now clouding the vision .

not to take away from your post.. believe me when I say your suggestions have not fallen on deaf ears. its the overall of building up to the point to where I can implement them is the only factor. Sadly though I still believe that a little more time on the aspect , and this forum post would of been altogether unnecessary . Thanks again to all the posts made by all .

Rasmir
I appreciate that guide. Some very useful tips you have described in your post an with the aid of a friend of mine will try to implement. The main source of my struggle with Games like these concerning my (VIMS) is when I’m no longer in control of my camera angle or the moment the game needs to propel me somewhere that I’m not in control of . An example would be the launch pads in sparkfly fen while fighting teq. Although extremely fun an amusing. the moment I make the jump the twitch effect happens where my camera angle changes rapidly mid jump. (Que nausea) . That’s a manageable feeling though for that jump is only needed three times evenly spaced out during the teq fight. plus the option to simply run back is great.

In the Dry top instance however is a bit more severe. I grab the crystal (que timer) an proceed to jump to the boulder or ledge that I’m aiming for and at the moment of the jump . The toon does a jump within a jump . only way to describe it is a funky double jump but does not actually go anywhere. then the sec button press leads me to wall face or ledge lower then intended that’s if I haven’t fallen in the crevice or canyon in the first place of the first jump. (clock still running -Crystal flashing) now begins the panic multi jumping to get back where I was before the crystal wears off. Now during that common cycle of events causes two reactions . The first is the jump it self dramatically altering of the camera angles causing the intital feeling of nausea to set in. forgive the comparison here but I feel It fits nicely here , It would be like a Mesmer Stacking Confusion stacks and conditions on me in real life with every additional jump I make. when that cycle ends. I use what is left of my senses an grab the crystal again an have another go at it . A mistake sure … but I try an stick it out the best I can as there is no path around it to get to where I want to go as in the TEQ example. Then after the 2nd and the (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ) Raging and extremely nauseated 3rd try I stop, unplug an lay down no closer to my objective.
The second reaction is the my recovery from the overwhelming feeling of debilitation. Afterward I resume game play in some other area of focus in a different map . Wvw usually. Kinda sad .. I love the new content ,, waited for what seems like ever to finally get a chance to sink my teeth in some new material only to find that what I waited for comes with a hardship. In the end though ,, my original post wasn’t to up root the content an change it dramatically … Im just looking for a fighting chance to enjoy what other’s have come to enjoy or hate depending on your prospective. After all , what else can I do but speak up . To remain silent about it would have been in itself a tragedy.

I appreciate that.

Very solid points made by both. Just to be clear . I’m not begging anet to redo their content just for me or more to the point others like myself. I’m simply asking for a bit of common sense when it comes to creating a feature like the aspect of assisted leap and then trying to use said skill in a window of 10 to 14 secs (still feels like 5 to me ) to frantically make a jump that neither caters to a storyline nor “puzzle” . i just want to ascend to a top of a boulder an know it neither required a “mez” nor a shot of Dramamine , or two other meds not really worth mentioning.
Do you really want me to believe adding a few seconds more would hurt the integrity of the new content.
Think about that for a sec. I mean really digest that. I realize asking anet to make any sort of meaningful change is pretty much pointless. I’m simply addressing an issue that goes on ignored if no one ever speaks on it .
Pope , although i agree with your statement “You simply can’t design around every single outlier. It’s impossible”. You can however take into consideration a small detail that for the most part would be over looked. Had the new content been release with the assisted leap skill set at 20secs or 30secs for that matter…. I’d very seriously doubt that not one player would of started a forum on the matter of "THIS ASSISTED LEAP SKILL lasts entirely to long ". I implore anyone to challenge that. but as you say Illconcieved, it is what is . somehow the phrase ’Sucks to be you " comes to mind as i read your post .

‘The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present and future. As our circumstances are anew, we must think anew and act anew.’

And so must we, ladies and gentlemen. We need to look at this old issue in a new way. Not simply for today but to make our tomorrows more rewarding, more fulfilling, more compelling because of the changes we make today. With your help we can think anew, and act anew on the new issues before us today."

Put simply.. I’m asking that you add more time to it . 10 to 14 seconds is not enough for the average player. Can’t really speak for the rest out of respect but for myself and who would agree……14 seconds to use a skill that is majorly buggy on a map that has incredible amounts of lag is insane. The timer on the skill itself is needed I fully agree but the limit u put on it dealing with the present conditions described above is altogether frustrating .

The second problem I have with the skill is all the pre phantom jumping before an actual jump takes place only to find myself warped to a distant or worse. undesirable location. can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve raged at the screen trying to attempt “very easy jumps” only to find myself no where I was trying to be.

The 3rd an final reason I’m asking for this very needed extended time for the assisted jump aspect is that in my personal life… I suffer from a form of nausea that triggers upon my eyes trailing fast moving objects or better put … Visually Induced Motion Sickness , also known as {VIMS}. although common in most, my particular illness hits abit harder then most with an after effect of a severe headache.

now I realized that the following comments will prob be in the neighborhood of “well why are u still playing if that happens to you”, " you can just leave the game.. etc etc and etc….. whatever.. I can tolerate a great deal of the content if certain actions don’t require twitchy screen movements ( " THE MAD KING JP almost killed me ..")I hated the fact that I never could attempt it more then once per hour. Now in Dry top , the Rushing to get to certain spots on the map within the window of time while dealing with lag an the phantom leaps are recreating that problem for me all over again.

Again not asking for much , just more then the 10 to 14secs (feels like 5 sometimes ) that is currently in place .

Flame on . I’m sure its coming ….

Seems normal to me ..Is anyone really all that surprised. Simply a S.N.A.F.U

went to the worm 4 times today ……..Complete ghost town. nice guide though to bad ill never get to try it.

BATTLE of L.A TAKEEEEEEEEEEE 3!!! I was quite fond of fighting the White mantle in the First Invasion. Then again at Claw Island leading up to The risen attacking L.A for yet a second time . Now , I’m just happy to burn it down myself . Go Scarlett!!!

One of the achiev’s is to open the chest five times an the reward for finishing the Nightmare LS is a key. I just don’t know what to say to any of that. Troll on anet .

I hate it when you open a box of Frosted Mini Wheats and you discover the entire box you got has almost no Frost on the Mini Wheats, seriously I might as well be eatting Total.

THIS ….. This why I read forums.
I needed that laugh this morning thank you for that.

GWen here For a Quick Update.

Welcome back BG an JQ (YOU 2 were missed)

Our Toasters , Coasters, Zombies , Pirates , Macs, cookies and that guy that parks our yaks near the keep have been eagerly awaiting this matchup for sometime now. Why even last night when I bravely faced 3O single handedly near the tower, When the dust settled an all those bodies an loot bags surrounded me . I knew in a instant…. The combination of herbal refreshment an beer might not have BEEN A GOOD IDEA. But those Skritt and centaurs had to die. By the way I found some Car keys, a set of gloves , a pink helm and half empty keg. If anyone is missing these items , please feel free to pm me in game.

I was approached the other day By Commander Chuck Norris , he informed me that he would like to get back into combat. Though I found his offer interesting, I’ve decided that this would not be a fair Start to this matchup. For those unfamiliar with is work , I’ll quickly list some of his handy work …
1} Commander Norris once Siege Garrison, Hills and bay while standing at the mystic forge in LIONS ARCH. The Cap took less then 10 sec.

2} I once made the mistake of telling Commander Norris that we needed to Deny supplies from reaching the Garrison in order to claim it for later. So he walked over to the first yak he saw an whispered in his ear. That yak ran like kitten an for a single week not one borderland received any supplies(ours included). We later found the yaks over in COF hiding in the corner of the dungeon.

3}Commander Norris has a habit of showboating in the lake between hills an bay. He sometimes wrangles up the krait an “forces” (their word not mine)them to Pull him around the lake just so he can do some casual water skiing. Now that the lake is gone, he now makes balloon animals out of the drakes.

4}Commander Norris is the only one I know of that can 1 Shot A Legendary Defender.

5}While roaming the map , Commander Norris came Across a group Laying siege to a tower an over heard them shouting for a treb drop placement but had little supply to build it. Commander Norris just smiled. Picked up a small rock an threw it at the tower. The whole structure was demolished in an instance.. You an I now know the area as the Ruins.

6} When Commander Norris arrives on a map , The other 2 servers on the map suddenly Get the outmanned bonus an letter in the mail that says.“GoodLuck” best regards Anet.

7} Commander Norris does not spawn Camp.. He literally stands in your camp unharmed an Roundhouse Kicks people Back to Lion Arch as they try to portal back in. Some refer to this a Troll move on his part But have yet to see anyone not find the humor is this. I mean I would do it to if I knew I could.

Their are more examples clearly but you can see why this would not be a good time to roll out a bazooka to a knife fight. (your welcome) Just remember he’s still an option on the table so no funny business. Okay okay just a little funny business, after all , Here at RP central…. We Welcome the Insane.
Good luck to all an Keep fighting the Good fight My TC brothers an sisters .
