Guild Wars 2

Robert Hrouda.1327:

We’re currently looking into solutions for this and another nasty case: Party leader leaving the party and ejecting folks from the dungeon, forcing them to restart.

One of the solutions we’re investigating to the problem you posted though, is for the instance ownership to transition to the new “party leader” so that instead of everyone getting the boot, there is a player in the party who becomes the new owner and the group can continue on.
I’m sure I’m making it sound easier than it really is, but that is one of the solutions we are investigating. There’s a lot of tech magic way beyond my pay-grade that needs to happen, but we are working on a solution to this issue.

I realy hope the solution is not this easy… because if the Leadership is changed so easyly… kicking the Partyleader will be possible as well (without any consequences for the other players/leechers).
Im no “kick before endboss”-Guy.
But to be save i always open the grp.

And yea, i don`t even kick the Clerics and PVT Guys (I call it… higher dificulty-lvl).
But the consecuences will be, that the zerks will die more often in such a grp (at least i do…).
So in the end i am the noob, who is always dying… kick.
Shame on me… my dungeonfinder-description wasn`t clear enogh with: “ZERK (Full berserk) ONLY 2Worriors, 2 Guardians, 1 Ele or Mes”…. and i get kicked by the two PVT Necros and the nice Bearbow-ranger… Thanks a lot…

If I make myself the work of building a group, looking, that the setup is ok and so on… I expect a certain amount of protection… Well i think everyone deserves a certain amount of protection.

So it would be better to give the party some elements to overwiev their mates. (i.e Categories in LFG, DPS-Meter, wse.)

I get you guys.
But realy… sometimes you can write things in the grp-Description… and nobody read it anyway…

Normaly I open a PuG, because the chance of beeing kicked is lower. If they do, they did the whole thing for nothing, because it was my instance…
Why I do this? Because I had some runs, where they kicked me at the bossfractal to invite a guildy or someone who pays… no thanks…
The LFG- tool should fix this situation (besides the usual bugs…).

I would make a clear- lineup plan. Say, what you want in YOUR grp: full Zerk, 2 Worriors, 2 Guards, Ele or Ranger. Friendly ppl., gearcheck…. Ask, if your ppl skilled the right things…

And remember… the LFG- tool is in Beta. So we should bring some awsome ideas to the devs… (Besides the limitations as "Language, gear, AR)
How about a “PVE-Ranking?”. (Fractals-Ranking is planned isn`t it?).
How about a player-to-player assessement. (Like SWTOR-WvW).
Perhaps a small DPS/DMG-Tool (with no concrete numbers…). (Bevore everybody starts to yell… i mean something like a green bar… nothing with “Player xy did yy dmg”.)
Perhaps the Player has first to agree to activate this in certain grps.
Or it shows only up, after xx Time or xx Wipes or something like that…

If this doesn`t work there is only one last option: Don`t go with PuG`s.
Even if we have all this options, we can never be shure of the other players. Maybe they have a bad day or a brother with no knowledge of the game is playing.
We could post our asc. bers. gear, but we can not be shure if Worrior XY din`t change to clerics after the first mob.

Thnx again Obal to provide us with this Informations. I hope it helps to transform some old ideas.

I was thinking about the 10/25/0/10/25 with Hammer, but it doesn`t make much sense. I guess if taking a hammer it will be 15/25/0/20/10 then.
But i would be very grateful if Anet implements something like a 2nd Build on switch… or even a third (vor wvw) and a forth (for pvp)

If someone has time to do this:
Since I have always PuG`s and everybody is thinkin`: “Just one time with pro`s…”; It would be great to see such a grp in full dinamic combat action. Let`s say in fotm lvl 49+.
I`m positive, that would bring some more perspective for rdms. (How a good grp operates, communicates, pulls, camps, moves…. and make a load of dmg)

The buffs are important and sometimes there is only one player who even takes Bufffood and this stuff…

Thnx Obal
So we can see the difference between Asc. and Exo aswell, if we compare the numbers with your earlier Vid?!

Thnx also to show the difference between full Cleric and the other things.

Could you do a direct comparison with your Hammer- Fractal-Build? That would be great! (Hammer-GS).

Ok, I already wrote a lot more, but I should really keep a low profile, so here is the short version:

So, if i am a masochistic Hammer/GS fetishist who loves Pugging fractals lvl 49, i realy need to have a second Guardian with xxx/25 or something who can purge more efficently? (Unfortunately there is not enough place in the group-description, to say all the things need to be said) … well… the ppl don`t read it anyway….
Atm I run with (15/25/0/20/10)
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQJASRlUgiC3FSHEfIFSWhC0mBAhQ1HiHMFYkHB-jwBBYfDRjKYIaZmERjJPoFXFRjVXDT5iIqWKgIGGB-e

But It bugs me to spend so much Points in Writh of Persistance and Master of Consecrations.
I mean… well… I loose 3% Vunerability and three ticks dmg @1k/mob (and have a shorter timeframe).

So what if I go for an unbuffed-higher over-all-stat-pool?

For example something like this:

Variations:

³ http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQJASRlYg6CHFSIEfYFSWhC0mBAdQVKin7BXwVBKC-jgBBYfDRjKYIaZmFRjt4qIas6aYKXER1A-e
⁴ Depending on current Buff-Setup I could variate Bufffood/Stack-Sigil (as proposed)

Maybe I didn`t think this through, but it says in this thread, that Crit-Chance is much more important than stacking Power and Crit-dmg. On the other hand, some ppl wrote about this matter… but I don’t see a very good alternative… Perhaps somebody can do the mats and combine it with real-combat-situation- knowledge
Is my dmg-modifier/support loss to big? (Regarding the PuG-Fact, that ideal Combat- and Buff-situations are rare enough?).
