Guild Wars 2

It would reflect badly On the DR system if botting was still “known” to happen? Or was that too cynical a response?

To me the issue of Fractal groups are many fold. My list:

Fractal levels. Higher lvl, better loot (generally)
Lack of LFG tool, Que, anything simple to connect to others of the same fractal lvl with eachother.
Agony compunds the issue thus giving folks now 2 numbers to battle against. (FOTM lvl and Agony)
MF. Thus never quite knowing if player X is even able to push through a lack of agony because they may already be lacking in combat stats.

There are a few other issues but are less focused on Fractals (From my POV, so i’ll pass on them for now. I wouldn’t be helpful if i didn’t add some possible solutions…

Firstly. For a “Casually” aimed game. You would think we would have a LFG/LFD que tool. Especially since Fractals seem like such perfect fit for it.

Que up. The tool checks your Fractal lvl, finds 4 others for the same. Want to set a lower lvl Fractal then your cap? have a imput for Frac LVL you want.
This helps in a couple ways. Finds more people for the Frac lvl your looking for. Helps those without Agony to run a higher fractal from randomly Joining. But lets Pre-made groups take whomever they want.

As far as MF. I’m not a fan of the mechanic in the first place, for full disclosure, But if they must have it, have it Party wide. Either highest gives that bonus to everyone, Or let everyone’s MF add up for every member.

Myself, i’d rather see it gone.

I agree with your idea. But If you have more than 1 city, the other one is usually a ghost town. (RPers aside. Bless yas)

LFG tool would help the issue even more i’d expect.

Wait wait wait wait wait…

So they were ABLE TO TELL if LOOT was dropping TOO MUCH or TOO LITTLE and ADJUSTED IT.

So why the kitten are we posting data in this thread again?

The same reason you let a 4 year old have his/her
temper tantrum and be done with it. They fall sleep and get quiet after.

It may just be my perception, but a while after launch when keys seemed to be drying up, i got none on my main.

Rolled an alt, got a few keys. Around lvl 30. Didn’t see another again.

Did a 3rd alt. Got a few keys. around the same time. No more keys.

RNG being RNG. Its nearly impossible to tell. But when my tin-foil hat feel off. The CIA beamed an explannation to me.

Give a few keys while their “young” and they might buy them when their old.

All i know is. Keys barely exsist now.

I started as a staff ele mostly, and even now i stick with it. Ele no matter the weapon, is as was said, about dodging, slowing, stopping and then popping alot of AOE. Its toughest( or was for me), especially with staff around 25-45.

It has seemed to me alot of the Ele has to do with all your gear, traits, etc coming together.

I actually run a burn/power build focused alot on Sustained AOE. I lightem on fire, pling them, and then rain down death. But as an ele, thats just the main focus. Every attunement needs to be put to use (though i use earth alot less.) And constant positioning and dodging is needed.

Even with the EA neft (which i miss, cause it gave me a good reason to get close once in a while, now i just chill towards the back) I still love my staff build. But in my eyes, if your an Ele, you must be constantly active.

Character Model Issues

Human, Female. Elementalist.

Hair Model/collering issue especially when running. When the hair model shown in attached Screen shots shows an off/oddly collored texture where the hair settles in a standing position.

While i choose a blond hair color, when running or moving it shows a reddish texture.
The same shows when equipping headgear that shows any textures outside the facial features such as eyes and nose.

Has been like this since i noticed it not long after release.
