Seriously… I have items that I wanto to transmute, but I don’t want to permanently lose the “other” item.
An official statement from anet on the matter would be nice.
Stop this RNG crap already.
Give us tokens for the mini and the jetpack, I’ve ran the facility 30+ times and got only crap, it’s kittening annoying.
Don’t put unique vanity items on a RNG table without giving alternatives, for kitten’s sake!
I see what you’re saying there ace… I am speaking of WvW and did not think of it in PvP or PvE arenas; however, any class (in WvW) where an individual can keep re-engaging over and over is ridiculous. I just watched such a match from a tower. 1 Necro, 1 War, and 1 Ele all attacking 1 Thief. For ~8 minutes, they all battled 3 v 1. No one died; the thief just kept disappearing, then healing, then re-engaging. Possibly applying such a nerf as mentioned previously only in WvW areas would be more appropriate?
This should have been a top priority and I find it incredible it’s not in game already…
Simply put, we need a PvE wardrobe where to store our skins and not lose them on usage.
My bank is full of items with skins I like, but I’m not using any transmutation stone because I don’t want to destroy the old skin. I like to collect them, but I end up not using them because of that.
You would sell a lot more transmutation stones from the shop if you simply gave us a wardrobe where to store and collect our wapons/armors skins and use them freely as much as we want without fearing to destroy them.
Hm… sounds fun. Not sure how this could fit into our current plans, but I’ll think about it. I’m a HUGE fan of the original LoZ. It is THE game that made me realize what my career should be. I’m actually in the process of doing a personal remake of it with photographic art. I’ve been sculpting the creatures over the past several years as a hobby. You can check them out here:
Seriously, I know it’s supposed to go like halloween and christmas event… but it’s just too kitten good.
I actually think it’s the best addition to game since launch.
Seriously Anet, leave it in game.
Agree 100% with 2 and 3 (there are other flaws that are driving people away, but I’ll stay in topic here).
Don’t fully agree with 1… most people are just WAY too accustomed to the trinity, so they can’t (and/or don’t want to) understand how this game works. I don’t think they’re hard, but they can be VERY annoying due to some stupidly obtuse mechanics.
Apart from that, I understand that not everyone has the same skill level, so I concede that another difficulty level (exactly like TSW… speaking of which, “elite” difficulty it’s very easy anyway) would be nice for a different audience.
Agreed – not just the tooltips, but the traits too need specifics added to them. There are so many traits currently that say vague things like:
“lasts longer” ? how much longer?
“increases damage” ? by how much?
“burns foes” ? how long a burn?
“effects are improved” ? improved how and by what degree?
“…heals you” ? how large a heal? any internal cool down?
etc.
I’m sure most players go to the wiki to find out the specifics, but we shouldn’t be forced to do that. The details should be in the game.
This.
Also, the wiki doesn’t scale down with your level/stats/weapons.
I’m usually very critic about many things done by anet since the release… but this time I want to say THANK YOU to them.
They addressed two main issues (event loot and guesting) in a good way. Sadly, people started abusing both of them causing more problems.
And yes, it is a problem, the lag on these events is unbearable.
Warriors: PvE gods
Guardians: PvE support gods.
Thief: WvW gods. You don’t even need to be skilled to take down 5 other players. If you’re skilled, you can even take down a zerg if you want to.
Party chat also gets deleted when you are kicked. Imo it prevents verbal abuse toward other players.
Cant tell you how many times ive been bootes before maw or a final boss for nothing and wanted to give someone in that party a piece of my mind but couldnt.
But you can’t report them if they kick you at last boss or if they verbally abuse you.
I’ve been victim of hate speech a few times (not many, to be honest… the community is quite mature) and I wasn’t able to report them.
Officially no, it does not. Anet has said chests are specifically exempted because they didn’t want people to feel forced to carry around 2 sets of armor and swap before opening every chest.
Unofficially, it really feels like I get better loot from chests when I’m wearing MF gear, but my sample size is a far too small to make any meaningful conclusions.
I run full MF (except on places like Arah, fractals 11+ or CoE where i run full berz. But something like AC? Full MF all the way), and I’m very often the one who dies the least. I know my character skills, I know the instances, I know the bosses. I contribute to the group more than most people I pug with.
And for the ones who say that running MF is egoistical… seriously guys, do you play for the other people or for yourselves? I do dungeon runs for money and loot, and MF helps me achieve my goal.
Just get a working brain and stop being sheeps and bleat “OH NOES MF GUY IS SLOWING ME!!1!” just because someone else said it and THINK. There is nothing wrong with full MF (most of the time).
Edit: I want to add that I would be very, VERY glad if they removed it altogether from the game. I hate having to use it, I think it’s a stat that shouldn’t be in the game AT ALL.
Did any of you do another event prior to fighting dragon? It’s possible you’re hitting the DR if you completed another event beforehand.
Explain this.
In details.
We have DR on dragon chests?
Seriously, this is HUGE, it’s a major hit to your credibility (well, what’s left of it).
You “forgot” to tell us that there is DR on events too?
Apart from the “lack of memory”… do you realize that there is no fun way for us to play the game anymore? We can’t farm orr, we can’t farm events… what the hell are we supposed to be doing?
And what else have you nerfed/ninjafixed without telling us?
So, I just did a Shatterer event. Got a gold medal for it, but the chest didn’t spawn for me.
This is the THIRD time this happens to me after last patch.
Fix it asap.
Said so, since I don’t want to appear more negative than I really am, I would say that I like how you’re working to make it all fairer to everyone, more than you already did at start (I really apreciate tokens for armors and weapons, I really dislike counting on a random chance for your dream item. Well… you just have to fix precursors some way.).
Anyway, I don’t really understand why use laurels instead of karma or achi points… we already have way too many currencies, are you planning to add more and more with time? You realize it will eventually become a mess?
Basically – impossible to know unless you’re ANet and they’re not telling.
And they probably don’t know either. http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Wi_Flag
There are a lot of things that can influence and bug the RNG generator (think of the DR bug, but not only that).
Anyway, at this point I’m pretty sure there isn’t really a working RNG. And I’m not talking about the fact that computers can’t really generate random numbers (we all know that, at this point, I hope).
Just an example, this is a personal observation shared by my ex-guildmates:
One of my ex guildmates had an average of an exotic drop every 6 rares. He always got at least one rare every dungeon run. The same person dropped 2 abyss dyes and 1 celestial. The same person dropped a Dusk during a CoF run.
All this just playing casually, not farming (he doesn’t play that much), and without any MF.
This is just one positive example, and I’m sure most of you can share similar stories.
This is just void speculation, and people should stop trying to pass if for a fact.
It is far from speculation and has been tested time and time again in different threads that covered the issue. There are many many posts of people experiencing better drops rates and quality once they removed magic find. You can start with the numerous closed loot drop issue threads and continue with the thread Anet opened about loot.
I’ve read them.
Fact: There’s a real big problem with loots, drops and DR. This is beyond any doubt (and it’s probably intended to push gems sales).
But apart from that, I’ve never seen any extensive test of the full/none/various percentage of MF gear. Just some subjective feelings.
So, no. I’m not convinced and people should not pass it for a fact.
MF increases the chance that your next loots will be of rare tier but that’s about it.
Actually if you are one of the unlucky ones , magic find lowers drop rate, lowers % equipment drops, and increases % of fines/bags/salvageable. It is talked about many times in different threads and the general conclusion around all those posts is that it is not working “as advertised”.
This is just void speculation, and people should stop trying to pass if for a fact.
There’s been several reports of players being given a full refund for the game and the gems they purchased as a result of being banned for the snowflake exploit.
Is everyone banned from this eligible for a refund or only certain people?
Cat look at it this way, players who didn’t attend the one time event got a chest. You could probably get a full refund if you told those in charge that you like cheese. Be sure to volley logic out the window!
And people like me, who attended and disconnected when the giant karka died thus losing the reward at the end, didn’t get their chest even after petitioning for it.
I disagree. They should not have gotten a refund. They paid for the services, exploited those services, and were banned per the ToS. If they were smart enough to print ectos by the hundreds/thousands, they would be smart enough to know it shouldn’t be happening and stop.
This also happened over the holidays when i am sure a lot of their staff were not around to fix this issue.
It’s not that easy.
First, ToS are just plainly illegal in many states. Any signed ToS or EULA is completely void, for example, in Italy.
Second, any arbitrary difinitive service interruption would ask for a refund in many states.
Third, the service interruption (ban) was not based on clearly stated rules so, even in states where the ToS is completely legal it can still be appealed in court.
Basically, Anet would risk a lawsuit and a lot of bad advertising from it. It’s way safer and cheaper for them to just refund the banned players.
I never used this system to make gold, I hate people who exploit the TP and the already kittened up economy (which is a DISASTER and my biggest complaint about this game)… but it’s no reason to ban.
It’s anet fault, that’s how they programmed the game, they have testers and all and they are fine with the kittened up economy (because they want to sell gems for gold) so you can’t blame the players to try to make some kitten money.
Oh, and what about the godskull bug abusers? Were they all banned too?
Because, you know, those guys are most likely the very ones who control the market now.
It seems that in the attempt of removing the “Holy Trinity” from the game, defining your character has become quite a problematic aspect of the game as there are quite a number of limitations one cannot overcome depending on which profession they choose.
We are told any character/profession can fulfill any role in the game. This is true to some extent… but if this was the case, why is it that some professions have a lower health pool compared to others?
This is one step in an attempt to restrict what a certain profession should do.
For example… What if I wanted to tank as an elementalist? The low health pool coupled with the stats of light armor would not even compare to that of a warrior. This suggests that the devs still want professions to play out in a particular way.
So in the end, you wouldn’t choose to tank but instead do what an elementalist does best… Cast spells and not the the focus of enemy attacks.
There are also other factors you can bring into the equation such as skill functions and traits. However, the trait system has its own set of restrictions also making it difficult to define your character.
So, if you choose to have professions in an MMO, you can’t really avoid having a “Holy Trinity Model”.
I am against the trinity as a concept (it’s an old, stale and outdated mechanic with too many flaws), but you are right to some extent.
Will anyone do a fractals run at 30+ without one or two guardians? Thought so.
I failed to make it on the restart but they did not give me an option to restart even after I asked nicely. I know we are currently WvW rivals but is that an excuse to treat me like garbage?
Yes.
I would do the same thing.
I’m pretty sure your not telling the whole story.
You probably weren’t pulling your weight.
Honestly the fact you made a post about getting kicked from and FotM makes me think you were whining the whole time they were killing the boss and he decided keeping you around was not worth the effort.
You don’t kick anyone for any reason at last fractal, period.
