Can we have Heroes?

Game of Bones.8975

I would love to, but they want to promote group play.

There would also be the issue of lag and slowing the servers down. They already eliminate minis when the region is full before shuffling servers.

I solo a majority of the time and a couple heroes/mercs would help greatly, but I’m not holding my breath.

I let people know up front that I don’t know what I’m doing. Then they have the option of adding me into their group or not.

If I do something stupid in a Fractal I’m covered.

I used to run into hostile people before letting them know I was a noob.

Regrets on Legendary Crafting

Game of Bones.8975

After spending the time, gold, and materials have you ever felt let down by your legendary weapon? Did you think it would be so much more than it turned out to be?

Sure the animations are cool and swapping stats is nice, but for all the effort you could have made a couple ascended with the differing stats.

I knew they didn’t have boosted damage stats from ascended weapons.

What was the draw to make a Legendary weapon for you?

QoL: Add Keys to Material Storage

I’ve got a few dwarven keys in a couple characters that are soul-bound, taking up a character slot, and I’ve never seen a chest they fit. I’m a hoarder and can’t bring myself to destroying them and putting them in the bank (to save the space) is about worthless when I may just find that elusive chest and need them.

I do like the new keyless “chests” solution and hope they keep this up. It sure beats buying keys per region ala GW1.

I know there are a couple Soul-bound keys here and there, but for those others, create a space where characters in an account can share them (other than taking up a bank slot).

What about a compromise? Account Bound with a level requirement.

Year 1 Booster req. lvl 60
Year 2 Booster req. lvl 50
Year 3 Booster req. lvl 40
Year 4 Booster req. lvl 30
Year 5 Booster req. lvl 20
Year 6 Booster req. lvl 10

This would give the benefit to those long standing characters as well as put a limit on which characters may use the booster.

Is the ‘Kneel’ killing the Deadeye’s Rifle?

in Thief

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

After playing both Demos and the Stress Test with the Deadeye, I found it was easier to ditch the rifle and go with my standard DD elite or use DE without a rifle due solely to the awkwardness of getting out of the kneel.

The simplest fix would be to allow any movement (W, A, S, D, or Space) key to remove action or dodge into another kneeling position.

Too many times a standing shot turns into an obstructed shot when a character kneels.

If movement doesn’t remove kneel, allow half movement speed in stealth to move into a more advantageous sniping position.

If the kneel action is here to stay as is, I just hope I can work around it.

You consider this as an unapropiate name?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

It doesn’t matter what the players think is appropriate.

You may create a name that translates into something obscene in foreign lands and not know it. To you it’s innocent and accidental, but you have to change the name just the same as if you did it on purpose.

I’ve deleted Lvl 80 characters because I didn’t like their name after a while. I wish we could use a number of Transmutation charges equal to the level of the character to change names.

Mercs for Hire

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

As a game expands into new territory, the old spaces become less populous. Unless the game keeps expanding its user base to make up for those not playing in the old content areas. The company cannot control the user base for numbers of players, but it can control the AI behind the game and what is allowed to make up for the loss.

I didn’t hear too many people complain about the mercs being brought out in GW1. The biggest problem I did hear was the merc grabbing aggro or getting stuck. I saw many PUGs filling ranks with mercs or NPCs when there weren’t enough people around.

No one is saying you have to use mercs, just allow the option for those who do.

Mercs for Hire

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

Mercenaries are looking better and better. The gaming world is expanding too fast and group related objectives are become too hard to accomplish due to people being spread around too thin.
What if you were allowed “2-3” mercs on your character and if too many characters + mercs are on a map, you are told to kick a merc in 2 mins or the last one in your stack is automatically kicked.
Some retooling of the maps may need to occur to make sure world bosses don’t totally screw with those people just out farming or completing other objectives nearby.
Just a thought, don’t think it will happen any time soon, but I can dream.

Opening Elite Weapons

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

Several threads have brought up the fact of wanting Elite Weapons from the specialization track to be unlocked for the base character. Many people have brought up the fact that the specialization track has traits that help fight with that specific weapon and without it, why would you want to have them.

What if a new line of soul-bound quests were created to allow for these weapons to be unlocked?
Before qualifying to begin the quest certain requirements would have to me met first:

1) mastery of the line they wish to open. (Dragonhunter, Reaper, Druid, etc)
2) craft a machined variant of the weapon.
3) craft a new ascended version of the weapon to be soul-bound to the character

We had to wait like a year between HoT announcement and when it came out, during which ArenaNet didn’t do any updates to the game at all so uh,

Be grateful, my friend.

I got in right around the time HoT rolled out (I was happy with GW1).

If polishing things up is the reason, why not schedule it so there could be another full world demo weekend to show ANet was listening to our feedback and giving them another chance to allow players to use the characters in their full capacity.

Interesting Ideas for the future?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

I would like to see a third specialization line + the elite specialization for a total of four specializations.

This would allow for more options without a major change to the character. Even if you introduce a couple new non-elite specializations in the future, it could create synergy with the new weapons opened up with the elites. Right now the specializations only deal with the core weapons each profession has available.

I would also like to see another line of crafting somewhere between the Ascended and Legendary. To have limited abilities (1 or 2 traits) of Legendary weapons/armor without requiring the same mastery point progression. This would also allow ANet to reevaluate some of the Legendary weapons that are no longer viable due to lack of PUGs or successfully completing a structured event.

And I want Fuzzy Bunny Slippers!

Game of Bones.8975

The swap for having a character not in melee range was slightly lower damage.

I would rather have the first shot with lesser damage, but never know they were being targeted.

Weapon skills need to be a little more different; cause conditions: daze, bleeding, ham-string, or blind.

They have a month to deal the tweaking and I hope they take our suggestions.

[PoF Elite Demo] No Access to PvE Zones?

Game of Bones.8975

I played for 30 mins or so on each profession and got bored shooting at a target. I don’t do PvP even when I know the character and have the build I’m used to. Why would I want to fumble around with trying to experiment with one I’m not used to?

There are many ways to collect data and we, the players, cannot dictate how it is gathered.

I guess I’ll wait a month before I have my fun.

What is the rational for only allowing G1 Legendary to be sold? Why not allow all non-bound items to be sold? Wouldn’t this also be good for the game economy?

People who may not ever want to use a legendary shield won’t craft it, but if they can sell it for a profit, it may be worth it.

the german "translation" of the "scourge"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Game of Bones.8975

Geißel would be a more appropriate translation like Attila , die Geißel Gottes (Flagellum Dei /God’s scourge). But maybe Arenanet fears that Geißel can be easily confused with Geisel (hostage) and wanted to avoid this.

The “B” as a double “s” does not translate unless you know German.

I had a doctor named “Grobmann” (literally translated into “big man”) and I asked if his family used to be part of the German town leaders, like a mayor.

Weapon Range Markers

Is there a way to engage weapon range indicators when swapping?

For instance, swapping from a melee to ranged weapon, show (for the player only) a max and medium shaded range for that weapon for a half second or so. Something in gaming terms a PC would be able to determine due to experience and knowledge.

I’m not talking about the targeting crosshairs used for Barrage, Grenades, or other ranged AOE attacks, but something simple other than the “Out of Range” message.

Just wondering if I’m missing out.

A scourge is also a multi-tailed whip used as a torture device across the back of the victim to flay the skin.

I noticed my internet was not affected any other way. I restarted my computer, drank a Mtn Dew, and tried it for a third time. Again, in the exact same place, right before fighting Dzhudin Stormbreak, my internet cut out.

Please add Tengu, and here is why

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Game of Bones.8975

Game of Bones.8975

All of my character slots are filled up and I don’t have a max level booster: therefore I HAVE TO level any new characters starting from LVL 1. So that refutes your “not needing to level a character claim.”

Let’s say a new race is introduced in a future expansion. Every NPC who has a specialized racial reaction will have to have a new voice for interacting with my character across the entire “Known World.”

Modes of transportation are not race specific. Gliding for a Norn isn’t different than for a Sylvari or human. The size of the mounts may differ for Norn and Asura, but so do the sizes of greatswords and longbows.

I appreciate your enthusiasm in wanting a new race, especially the Tengu, but any introduced race has to; fit the story, be able to take on any of the current (and projected) professions, be able to “realistically” survive in any of the world environments, and have enough of a fan base to justify it.

I would like to see a demon-touched race or dragon-born race or something of the like.

They have to run a cost/benefit analysis.

Is it worth it financially to retool the entire GW2 line to add a new playable race? How many man-hours are involved in doing voice-overs for how each NPC will talk to the Tengu? Will the people buying additional character slots and Gem Store add-ons offset that cost?

What do programmers average per hour? How many hours would it take to think up the dialog from the beginning to current story-line? What do voice-actors cost? And the many other costs that I have no idea about.

If it were an easy fit into the current story I’m sure they would have rolled it out with the latest expansion.

Gaming is a business and businesses need to make money.
