An option to disable right click targeting

Dear Lesh,

I think we are approaching this from the wrong direction,
It seems to me that the players and the designers are not on the same page of the book.

The designers clearly intended for the game to be played with a certain control scheme where the right click targeting is a feature.

Some players using other schemes they are more comfortable with is running into this as a hindrance.

I think it’s easier to reach an agreeable implementation if we the players and the designers explain how we want the control scheme.

For me, my ideal would be mouse bound to stearing our character, w and s for forwards and backwards, a and d for side strafing, holding down right click for rotating the camera without stearing our characters, and left click to select targets and clicking on spells, the skills are also bound to keys like numbers for quick casting.
So for me, all I want from you is a setting to toggle mouse look, and the unintended right click targeting would be resolved for me.

not to be a jerk, but why isnt this fixed before the dredge fractal? =d

after that, i feel the next living stories should be a tyrian wide effort to commit genocide on the dredge. they arnt really useful to the society anyhow. think of it as the decision of the government of each race, after careful consideration regarding the events of Flame and Frost.

Something really edgy, with the potential to make players feel guilty but still be able to reason that it was neccessary, in the name of peace, and sanity.

Sylvari skirts bugged, need fix bad

I did not know this was an issue..

But now that you mention it..

I actually like the puffed out look, will be really sad if it got fixed per the demands of the majority.. Sigh…

The hell?

…. Well you can’t please everyone! But for all of us who play Sylvari and prefer not to have hoop skirts, let’s get this fixed.

It looks horrible as it is now. :/

Well, I am not going to knock down the majority for my petty preferences, but i always found that sylvari males somehow look better then other males, and now that I understand this problem, I understand that I always prefer the way clothes look on sylvari males.
The way coats frames the slender sylvari, the way they flow, and rest, i see it as making the sylvari look elegant and graceful. To me its a hallmark, rather then a bad thing.

How about paid bragging rights for players?

Dear Anet, would you like more money?

http://i.imgur.com/j265uxw.jpg

See this pedestal? See my pose?

Heres an idea, Make an in-game auction, where players can bid real money, or a currency that you can aquire with real money(i.e gold!).

At the end of every month, the highest few bidders get their statues made and enshrined upon these pedestals for the next month, in the pose they want; with or without weapons!

Why would players want these? because bragging rights!

Also Here is a bonus idea, donation boxes!
Donation Boxes placed infront of each statue that every player(with the exception of the enshrined players themselves) are able to donate some money to get certain special boons (that may be decided upon by those enshrined).
The higher the values donated! the more intense(or long lasting) the boons.
But why stop at donation? why not have the boons activate only after the devotees perfrom a /pray(or /salute if some are not comfortable with praying) in addition to the donation!

So how does this benefit the bidder? why would he pay so much to get enshrined?
Maybe he can have a stats buff? the more ppl that donated and/or /prayed to him, the more OP the stats buff; and if he was a Guild Leader, the whole guild get derivative (read: meak) buffs. In Addition the Guild also gets an IP buff.

So what say you? Maybe this instead of RNG? =D
Certainly i believe this is better then a commander tag.

So what’s the exploit? A little clarification so we can defend ourselves please?
Since you(ANet) is already aware of this exploit, and should be actively looking out for this exploit, there is no reason this exploit should be pose further problems for you.

RE: Herald Dialog Error

Posted by: Evning.8495

Evning.8495

If you talk to the heralds, somewhere down the line if you ask about the Priory Field Reporters, they will say there is one by the refugees in Hoelbrak, and another by the Durmand Memorial in Lion’s Arch.

There is no Durmand Memorial in Lion’s Arch, but there is a Durmand Dig Site, near a Moran Memorial.

The dig site is not actually related to Durmand himself.
So i think this is a typo error.

Hey its been a day, and i understand its a rather important date, i dont expect much done.

But Lifetime Survivor has been unrecoverable for me.
4.9/5.0
I asked once, and i ask again, is this normal for the bug, or is this only me?

I dont feel like playing until this is fixed, i worry that it would complicate and i would lose the achievement completely.

Is there an emergency task force looking to solve this bug or not? Or are you all going to coast till the next patch in 2 weeks.

Dont Let this bug become another sticky note on the white board.

Sympathy for the Champion Cave Troll

Today I walked by a lettuce patch.and started harvesting them.
All of a sudden, a veteran troll( or was it an ettin) popped up next to me.

Using my quick reaction, I shot an arrow at him and used the momentum to propel myself back away from him, next I proceeded to lose a few more shots and even tossed in some frag and gas grenades for good measure.

His life was quickly halved by my over powering abilities to critically wound his vital organs. It was at this point that I noticed something weird, the veteran had not moved an inch. He did not even lift his club. All he did was stood there, looking at me, as I clinically delivered his, what must have been an unbearably painful, death.

In no time, the veteran was stilled.

Without missing a beat and with an uncaring practiced reflex, I casually looted his earthly possessions, very sure, I would find nothing of use to me.

As if the encounter was nothing more then the sudden ray of the sun in my eye, I returned to harvesting what must be the veteran’s beloved lettuce patch, evident in the substantial size and verdant green of the lettuces.

It was only after much mulling over how something wasn’t right that I realized.

I had stumbled onto a mountain hermit’s property and he was just as surprised to see a stranger taking from his garden. Yet his first reaction was not to respond with violence. On hind sight, he must have been delighted to see an intrepid stranger up in the remote mountains, and serendipitously one that shared his interest in lettuce. Perhaps he was even prepared to share his treasure with a like-minded peer.

I can not begin to imagine his mortified emotions and fears when this brazen trespasser greeted his sudden presence with an arrow to his knee. However, he was a pacifist, he was already at peace with the world and himself, he led a relatively good life, his kids are all grown up, despite losing some. He has lived, anguished and loved; he was satisfied.

The veteran could see that he was no match for this well honed killing machine. There was no need to prolong the suffering or retaliate with more blood shed. This adventurer is new to the mountains, wounding him here would pose a grave obstacle to his foray into the mountains. The world does not need more meaningless deaths. He would accept his eventuality, he would bear no hatred nor grudge against the adventurer, it is the nature of adventurers, though he wish that one day, the adventurer would come to see life through his peaceful eyes.

I was a horrible horrible murderer, I had killed someone with no intentions of doing me any harm , hen proceeded to loot his possessions and I did not even register what nature of creature he was.

The worst part? I did not even need what he was carrying, I have more then enough gold to be comfortable. And the lettuces? I don’t even need them, I don’t even like eating vegetables, I have tons rotting in my bank. They were only a convenient means to complete my daily achievements.

Asura Gates are pretty boring in my view

in Suggestions

Posted by: Evning.8495

Evning.8495

IMO, Asura gates are Stargate rippofs. The only thing missing is the 7th Chevron so that I can travel to unexplored zones.

I have seen several things within this game that are mimicking other games…and it’s sad.

You mean the seventh chevron as in the point of origin, or the eighth chevron to go to other galaxies?..

Also, i think the loading screen takes long enough, a cheapo travel to most dungeons take a few loading screens. slowing down instantaneous travel seems counter productive, not that i mind either way.

I suppose, you could do something like a mist lobby, and all gates connect here, so you can exit to any gate you want.
in other words, move the lobby out of LA, and have the lobby contain more gates. like Ebonhawke, WvW, PvP and the currently locked gates in all the orders’ bases(i havent done my story, if they are unlocked later, dont tell me). Not forgetting the currently under construction gates in LA.

This makes it interesting as well as speeding up long distance gate travel.
for example instead of Grove → Lion’s Arch → Divinity’s Reach → Ebonhawke. We could have Grove → Ebonhawke. In addition, the lobby could even be designed with some minigames..

It says that i need 12 other achievements to unlock this achievement.

i seem to be missing some achievements at the time i took this SS.

[URL=http://imgur.com/d932B][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/d932B.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I only have 9 achievements completed, yet they apprentice achievement is already unlocked.

Is there some achievement that is hidden on the list?
Or is it in another category that i did not manage to find.

Why craft destroyer weapons?

in Crafting

Posted by: Evning.8495

Evning.8495

@NoOne (lol)

Could you elaborate that recipe please,
And what does it make?

And i still think destroyer weapons are too expensive for just a skin. there are other nicer exotic skins that are easier to get.
The dungeons skins for example.

Evning.8495

so by that logic =p
i hope we would be able to craft ascended items =p
this will mirror the current system of exotic = legendary.
And i think, it would be wise to promote destroyer weapons to ascended.

Evning.8495

Could you link me from where you learnt that legendary weapons will be promoted to ascended?

I have no proof, but i was told in future the stats would be exotic < ascended < legendary.
I wasnt asking to be able to craft something that would be better then the end end game items.

I accept that the destroyer weapons are very cosmetic, but unlike mystic forge weapons and legendaries, these are rather “meh.”
Its alot of work for not alot of bragging rights, when juxtaposed with the legendaries.

also with the inclusion of new item ranks, i was hoping that crafting would be able to grow with the game, i.e craftable ascended items.

Evning.8495

So I just started looking at my 400 recipes, and I saw that there are 2 versions of 400 exotics,
For example

http://www.gw2db.com/items/66738-carrion-destroyer-short-bow#
http://www.gw2db.com/items/56725-carrion-pearl-needler

They have the same stats, but the destroyer weapon is 30 loadstone harder to craft.

I previewed them in game, and it didn’t seem to have any special properties.
So aside from looks, why make these weapons?

And if they are completely similar, any chance that destroyer weapons will be promoted to become ascended weapons?

Camera Smoothing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Evning.8495

Evning.8495

i think i analysed why i prefer the old camera.

from what i understand, the old camera has an acceleration feature, which means it slowly turns up to speed.
the new camera is already up to speed, and has no acceleration.

since my fps is low, and that there is no acceleration, each of the early frames as i turn the camera is now vastly different, as compared to the previous camera.

maybe thats why i feel that the graphics are jerky.

Evning.8495

Hey, i am also interested in getting the old sluggish(from what i read) camera back
May i suggest you have a slider on camera acceleration?
This new camera is hurting my eyes a little.
I might get used to it in a few days, but that is an uncertainty.
I have a feeling this is actually a mix of low frame rate and the new camera.

And i am not touching my mouse settings as they are calibrated to my reach.

Yes, calibrated XD
