Guild Wars 2

Magikarps used Splash!

Not sure why you’re whinging, your magical hammer wells can’t immediately stomp an NPC and win a keep, so you want to get the game mechanics changed?

No wonder Amarathy yelled at you in GChat XD

DeWolfe.2174:

Yes, if the circles up, find the lord and pop the War Banner. War Banner rezzes all NPC’s within a radius.

Considering BG run’s more full map zerg’s than any other world in NA, I don’t know what your complaint is? For the rest of us, it’s something that helps the outmanned worlds.

Dude, we can’t counter MERC and not expect to hear about it from Karps.

Yeah on SOR we have the human element. One that does not care about raitings. We actually enjoy fighting other players that have the will to wipe us. That PPT is for wizards and trolls.

highly doubt anybody on SOR wants to appease a RNG computer. TC / SOS have been great sports and tip of the hat to them for puttin up with SOR.

Now I demand JQ and BG

Currently, the Combo System has the Combo Initiator (Combo Field) and the Combo Finisher.
Combos, however, are heavily dependant on AoE effects that create Combo Fields.
Meaning whenever ANet wants to add a Combo Initiator, it must be okay to add an AoE as well.

I have a few suggestions to expand upon the Combo system that makes the game cooler, but also gives ANet more versatility in the designing of Skills:

1. Combo Essence (placeholder name) – Add a new Combo Initiator that only affects your skills and is displayed as a temporary buff on yourself rather than an AoE on the ground.
   Example: Ride the Lightning could give you Combo Essence: Lightning for 5 seconds, and then you can use Arcane Blast/Wave to trigger it.
2. Combo Mark (based on Capn Evan.4586’s Target Combo idea) – Add a new Combo Initiator that works like a targetted Combo Essence,. It’s applied as a temporary debuff, and causes Combo Finishers used against the marked target(s) to create a Combo.
   - This allows ANet to design Combos with more fine tuned balance.
3. Multi-Element Finisher – Add an X to the Combo Finishers, representing the number of Initiators that can affect the finisher simultaneously.
   Example: “Combo Finisher: Projectile 2”
   This means if 3 Combo Fields were created in this order: Fire, Poison, Smoke, your finisher will apply Burning and Poison, but not Blindness.
   - This allows ANet to balance each Combo Finisher individually, allowing certain skills the ability to benefit from 1, others from 2 and some even from 3 Combo Initiators.*
4. Combo Finisher: Whirl – Change Combo Finisher: Whirl to produce 3 waves with 120º radius each, in a smooth, whirlwind motion, covering a total 360º around the user, rather than shooting random projectiles. Range of the waves can be lower than the Combo Finisher: Projectile, but higher than Combo Finisher: Blast.
   - My reasoning for this one, is that random projectiles simply don’t reward player skill.
5. Combo Finisher: Cone – Add a new type of Combo Finisher that instead of affecting things in a circle AoE, affects everything in a cone.
   - Applies the same effects as Combo Finisher: Projectile/Whirl.
6. Combo Finisher: Line – Add a new type of Combo Finisher that instead of affecting things in a circle AoE, affects everything in a straight line.
   - Applies the same effects as Combo Finisher: Projectile/Whirl.
7. Combo Finisher: Strike (by Conncept.7638) – Add a new type of Combo Finisher that works for Melee attacks.
   - Applies the same effects as Combo Finisher: Projectile/Whirl.
8. Combo Breaker (by Conncept.7638) – Allow some abilities to destroy Combo Fields within the radius and remove Combo Essence from affected enemies and Combo Mark from affected allies.
9. Enemy (prefix) (insert type) Finisher
   Ability makes use of enemy Combo Initiators instead of friendly Combo Initiators.
   Friendly Combo Field: No Effect
   Combo Essence on Self: No Effect
   Combo Mark on Target: No Effect
   Enemy Combo Field: Works as a Friendly Combo Field normally does
   Combo Essence on Target: Works as Combo Mark normally does
   Combo Mark on Self: Works as Combo Essence normally does
   Example: Enemy Projectile Finisher 3 benefits from up to 3 Enemy Initiators.
10. Omni (prefix)
    Ability makes use of both friendly and enemy combo initiators.
    Friendly Combo Field: Normal Effect
    Combo Essence on Self: Normal Effect
    Combo Mark on Target: Normal Effect
    Enemy Combo Field: Works as a Friendly Combo Field normally does
    Combo Essence on Target: Works as Combo Mark normally does
    Combo Mark on Self: Works as Combo Essence normally does
    If available, a finisher will benefit from both a Friendly and an Enemy Initiator.
    In the case of Multi-Finishers, it will benefit from X Friendly and X Enemy Initiators.
    Example: Omni Projectile Finisher 2 benefits from up to 2 Friendly plus 2 Enemy Initiators.

I want wvw loot bags to automatically go in my bags. Same for PVE.

I really like the way loot drops in WvW. Hoping that this will eventually make its way to PvE. Not sure how many sparkles I have left behind in shallow water or under the crush of a Temple zerg.

== Problem ==
This topic got me thinking:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Selling-a-Precursor-The-Hunter

It shows in my opinion that the current system of the listing fee on the trade post is broken when it is limiting poor people to make money.

The listing fee is an amount of money you have to pay to list items on the trade post. This is done to prevent people to make bogus trades or use the TP as storage. (put an item on the TP for 10 times the normal price so it is out of your inventory and you cant pick it up later)

The amount is 5% of the value. if you for example get the precursor dawn you can make a lot of profit on the market. Currently it sells for 515 gold. The listing fee however is 5%. So you actually need 25g75s to be able to sell it. This is for many people a steep price. Besides the listing fee you also have a tax (10%).

Both the listing fee as the tax have the function as a goldpit. Every MMO need several goldpits to keep the game economy from inflation and its actually a good thing. Still it should always be possible for poor players who got lucky to sell on the market what they want to sell for the price that it is worth.

== Suggestions ==
1: Remove the listing fee of 5%
2: Raise the tax to 15%
3: Add a penalty to the removal option of 5%. If you want to take an item your selling off the market you have to pay 5% of the price you where asking.
4: Add a warning if you put something up thats worth more then 20 times what you currently have saying something like: ’ Listing this item means that you can’t remove it again from the market with your current funding. The remove penalty is (insert amount of money). Are you sure you want to continue?? Yes – No.’

== Effects==
This suggestion doesn’t really change anything. You still have the money sink, you still can’t use the trade post as a free storage, but it does allow poor people to make a profit if they have a lucky drop

Nothing quite like being acknowledged in team chat by a string of quacks.

How many ducks can [OCX] chuck if a chuck-a-puck duck can cluck while [OCX] ducks under a duck?

Just a little remark – Teamworking is not equal to division of labor
In some superior world, even a single guild is nearly strong enough to handle a whole map
In most of time, all they do is simply fight alone in the assigned battlefield
So there may be many big names in a world, but it doesnt mean a true co-opreation

TBH in SoR’s asian prime time, every guild run like a chasing dog, move from world to world to save each other since we are outmanned everywhere. If you dont like that , SoR is not suitable for you. But talking about teamwork, I can proundly state that all of us work as one team. That’s the only thing make us survive T1 week after week

I can not +1 this enough. Well said For Someones Glory.

To Grekkz, sNyc, Stealth

It’s rough dirty business trying to find a suitable home for your community with so many special interest groups lobbying. So rather than trying to pitch WvW viability, ambitions, self fulfilling prophecies.

I’m just going to say this, SoR server community is stress tested, and time proven. The same core guilds exist on SoR since it was in 17th place. And would if it was still 17th. SoR community is peerless, with GSCH taking the role as dedicated curators of the server community solemnly. As such, as a community driven PvX guild, SoR was the only choice for OCX.

As intotheblue iterated, we would be ecstatic if AFS chose SoR as their home. As for your preferred play style it would be supported on SoR. Recruitment for a SEA guild isn’t over saturated on SoR as it would be in other T1 servers. And speaking from experience you will lose some people moving so this should be a top priority.

In WvW, AFS was a cornerstone to the SoS WvW community. And shall be on SoR if you choose. Your guilds tenacity and dedication to your art is beyond scrutiny. If you call for help on your map, it won’t fall on deaf ears. Like a good neighbor, SoR SEA/AU guilds are there. When your house is burning down we’ll bring buckets and stay all night putting the fires out. And won’t ask you to buy us a drink and shake our hand the next day.

On SoR we’re looking for friends.

We’re not here to compete with each other. Unlike some SoS expatriots. SoR guilds won’t swoop in and dilute the potency of your hard work and try to take the glory.
