No Loyalty Bonus

in WvW

Posted by: Friggarn.9451

Friggarn.9451

We need to update the loyalty pip description.

You need to earn at least 75 pips for 3 weeks in a row to earn the loyalty bonus. We wanted players to have to participate in skirmishes to be considered loyal.

Hello, I’m not quite clear on this.

So you need to get
75+ pips on week 1
75+ pips on week 2
75+ pips on week 3

And then so long as you remain on the server, you will get the loyalty bonus?
Or will the streak reset if you miss a week, and you need to do all 3 again?

Needing to earn 100+ pips weeks 1, 2 and 3 is correct. If you miss a week you will need to do all 3 again.

*Edit: It should be 100 pips not 75. So you need to complete all of Wood Tier for 3 weeks.

I dont agree with that i’m sorry.

Just being on the same server for 3 weeks should net you the bonus pip.

I agree. It was supposed to discourage transfers, not stop people from taking a week off. Please change this.

Series of Disconnects From Game Server

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Friggarn.9451

Friggarn.9451

3-4 times as well here since around 8-9PM EST, game and forum are unavailable for about 1-2 minutes. Not long enough to do a tracert to find out if there’s an issue down the pipe.

Other web services are unaffected from what I can tell.

I’m guessing it’s Level3 but I can’t confirm.

edit: It’s 100% Level3, I was able to complete a tracert this last outage (now happening every 30ish minutes) – it’s dying between Chicago and Dallas Level3 servers. I can’t find anything online about this issue yet though.

Viper's Exotic Armor... Sooo expensive!

Posted by: Friggarn.9451

Friggarn.9451

It’s currently the price of most of the new exotics – mostly because of the price of flax. It should come down a bit, but not to 1-5g range. Maybe 8g-ish

It cost me 10-15g per piece of Wanderer’s as well.

seems ridiculous.

LS2 is optional content – boo hoo, ANET announced that if you didn’t log in during LS2 you’ll have to buy with gems. I feel no sympathy at this point.

Can you go back and play most temporary content in any other B2P games?

The expansion is $50, end of story. The base game is now worth $0.

The 2 Copy Movement

Posted by: Friggarn.9451

Friggarn.9451

Simple fact is veteran players are being screwed. Joe Schmoe off the street who has never played the game before can walk in , pay $100 and have the entire game to explore. Me, I paid $60 for the game two years ago and now if I want the same perks as a brand new player its going to cost me $160. That sounds real fair to me. Its not like we are the players who built the game into what it is and made the expansion even possible or anything, right?

I figured the cost of the expansion would be around $40. For just the expansion. It never occurred to me that I would basically be subsidizing new players so that Anet could give them the base game for free, something I paid $60 for. I feel like I am being screwed. Its not about the money, I could buy the full $100 expansion for all 400 of my guild members and have pocket cash left over, its just offensive to me that they would not give me some preferential deal or treatment for being a “founding” player.

Did Joe Schmoe get the past 2 years of free gametime and all the memories you may have gotten? This isn’t an Apples to Apples comparison. Joe Schmoe missed out on Season 1 and has to pay for Season 2.

Or, it could be that the expansion itself is $50, but in an attempt to attract new players the core game comes ‘free’ to them if they bought the expansion at the same price as the rest of us.

It’s a common marketing and economic tactic that works wonders, not a single quality MMO hasn’t done something like this before.

Do you believe the expansion is worth $50 though? Not to dismiss the work ANet put into it, but from everything we’ve seen it’s a mini expansion, it doesn’t offer nearly as much that every other quality MMO’s expansion does at this price point. The only thing that could justify this price is if the core game was bundled in with it at a 50%~75% discount or if ANet has been really coy and is actually including an entire continent in HoT to surprise us with.

I hope it’s the latter, because if it’s the former I have to really wonder if we’re going to be saddled with an extra account every time an expansion comes out.

That’s worth exploring – if you don’t think they’ve added enough to justify $50 then please do not purchase it. Perhaps closer to release we’ll know if $50 is the correct price – but doomsayers complaining about the ‘core game’ included as driving the price up are just deluded.

They’ve been pricing the core game at $10 many times the past year, they’re just valuing it at $0 for this instance.

PITCHFORKS!

No new character slot is the ONLY thing we can see being a problem here, everything else is just extreme crying – the price is where they feel the work is worth – if you don’t you’re not required to pay since you’ll be able to compete just fine with the base game.

MMOs commonly include the base game with their Xpacs to get new customers. I’m not sure why there’s so much whining about this — we’ve enjoyed the base game with tons of free content for years.

Remember when new players got free skins etc with new copies and old players didn’t?

Yeah, they have to attract new players.

Halloween Skrit Wrapper Weapon Skins

Friggarn.9451

Or wear one of those shiny metal hats.

I love it when people use the “Tin Hat” response when an attorney has already weighed in on it.

If I want a Black Lion Key outside the nearly non-existent drop rate, the nerfed key farm, or from map completion, I’m safe to convert in-game gold to gems. Buying Gems with cash then spending them on the keys (or candies for Halloween) can net you jail time now for illegal gambling.

But hey, what does an attorney know?

And yes, they specified the Black Lion Key from the Gem Store and anything else that could be purchased in the Gem Store that can give you a random chance at something that can be considered valuable enough that a player could be tempted to sell for real money.

You do realize you could sell the Halloween Skins mentioned and the Permanent Hair Stylist Contract for $300 USD each and other players would pay it since it is a saving of around $50 USD in Gem purchases.

And before anyone mentions the Legendary Weapons, those do not come out of the BL Chests and they don’t come from a raffle that you can purchase “tickets” from the gem store.

It is not gambling unless it’s sold for real money. That’s the defacto truth, all of your “coulds” hold no weight, regardless of however you’re spinning “attorney” speculations.

How in any way would a County/State office see or care that you played a video game, entered a raffle that accepts virtual items, and gives out a virtual item as a reward? It’s a video game.

You seem to forget, that (due to Second Life, and WoW account sellers) there was at some time serious push to make all the virtual income taxable by the state. Yes, in US. IRS was really serious about that. It fell through, of course, but it wasn’t because “it was a video game”. Technically, a slot machine can be also considered to be “only a game”.

In this state, if there is no skill involved, it is a game of chance that you paid real money for. Already had an attorney in the area clarify what in the Gem store would constitute to illegal gambling and I avoid them unless I convert in-game gold to gems for it.

And thanks for reminding everyone about the IRS trying that stunt.

Yes, it is entirely possible you could be in trouble IF you sold in game items/gold for fiat. If you did not, there’s no possible way it is gambling. None.

Yup, with a skin, they’d have to make 1 for each armor class, then make sure each piece for each armor class doesn’t clip with any of the other hundreds of skins already in the game.

We get it. We know some of you want skins and only skins. There’s plenty of us that actually prefer outfits though, for the numerous reasons listed.

I’ve been guesting on Blackgate, and they seem to get it almost every time I’m in there. I’ve opened about 60+ Ultimate bags. The trick to getting main server is logging off right at :50 when you get your bonus bags. Then a little after :05 log back in, you’ll be in the main server before the Aetherblade event is done.

While Symbol of Swiftness change is nice.. atleast it had a +1 second recharge on swiftness ability now it’s better.. Mesmer’s temportal curtain hasn’t been touched.. doesn’t add swiftness if the player already has swiftness, it’s quite annoying at times when that happens in zergs or champion runs or even dungeons.. it’s like a wasted skill when the player gets swiftness right about the time he puts down a temporal curtain

This would be a welcome change, to add to your swiftness timer, since swiftness is supposed to stack, every other buff stacks either intensity or duration, but the ground effect swiftness doesn’t? It just does not make sense. Nerf it a bit if you’re already over 12s swiftness, if you don’t want too big of stacks, I guess.

Looking for PvX / WvW / Semi-Casual (JQ)

in Looking for...

Posted by: Friggarn.9451

Friggarn.9451

I am currently a pretty active player, since my WoW guild died off – I’ve been playing since early beta. I came to JQ because it was a main server for old DAoC refugees, and I had planned on playing a lot of WvW, but currently that is difficult without being guilded.

-Past experience with UO, DAoC, WAR and WoW mainly.
-Mature for the most part, being 31 y/o
-I work as tech support from home, so I can be on in game usually between 5PM and 4AM EST, though 5-10 I can get busy.
-Currently have a decked out 80 necro with condi and pow gear, also an 80 Warrior I can work with. Also working on 6 others, slowly.

I’m looking for a semi-large guild if possible, where there’s always a group wanting to do things, but something casual that can get harder-core when needed. The part I loved about my WoW guild is that most of us live in Mid-Mich and still get together for parties, and are friends on FB/Steam. Not expecting miracles in this regard though.

Contact here or Hulk in game.
