I think Hellspawnxxx xplains it well on the MMO champion Forums as he typed back in may.. So im just going to quote what he said.
So has ANET said wether or not Dhuum will be in GW2 as in the Epic ban Hammer ANET wields. I loved watching Dhuum raise from the ground and scything a player into oblivion, Banning them from the game.
I think the reasons Guildwars 1 community was so strong and mature, is because ANET had almost zero tolerance for Botters, Hackers and Abusive Players. That kind of goes hand in hand with a none monthly sub MMO.
In some other MMO which I wont name but I will say I enjoyed playing for over 6 yrs in that particular MMO you seen alot of immature abusive behavior from players towards the community. Trade chat was riddled with racial slurs amd extreme profanity because the players being detremental too others knew that the game wouldnt Ban them. When your paying someone $15.00 a month they are inclined to look the other way in most situations that ANET would just perma ban you for.
The lesson of the story is once you buy GW2 ANET has your money so dont be abusive or exploitive because they will drop the Epic Dhuum Ban Hammer on you assuming Dhuum is also in GW2.
For those of you who are not aware of being Dhuum’d is. Its when ANET spawns a NPC to kill you named Dhuum and once you die your banned. Its very funny to watch heres a video enjoy…
Let me correct that, Not having a failsafe system on Events in the first place is pretty bad, what happens when there is no need for patches 2 times pr week anymore and a event “agenst all odds” (You know it will happen) bugs out. Players on that server are suposed to wait 14 days untill the next server maintnance?
Took me 30 min after the patch to find a Stuck meta event…
And it will stay stuck untill the next server restart as usual I guess, For godness sake, I understand noone is a big fan of Spawning/despawning in a word that supposed to be Dynamic, But get a reset timer on those events please untill their all fixed, A despawn shure would beat waiting for days to complete a Meta Event.
This time it was the meta event Ogre Wars btw….. I know I should post details but im Mighty tired of typing complete bug reports now.
Can someone please tell me how the plan to execute this timezone thing? Splitting up in 3 timezones would leave less than 10 servers in each bracket, where half of them might be “carebear” or low pop servers… I Fail to see how this could possibly end up in a intresting ranking system… All I see is 3 servers fighting the same players every second week.
They been broken?, To be fair I allways got xp and cash unless the destination alredy is maxed out on resources, Fair enugh as escorting a Dolyak in a safe area to a fort that dont need suplies shouldent give a revard in the first place…
Well, you probably got more experience on the area, But im afraid without a Retaliation buff, Pure burst Dps will be the one and only way to PvP….
After all no Condition damage gets returned, no bouncing attacks gets returned, and playing suport clencing a few stacks of might, and 1 rare 3 sec quickness wont really seem to be worth it?
What this thread sound like is that you should be able to exit the fort Endure pain – Spin to win down 20 other players, loot and charge back in…. IMHO if you play as a team, maybe eaven get some combo bursts, you wont die from Retaliation…
(Ps: camp a Cannon and u will still get the I killed a Horde Kick)
Retaliation is a boon which reflects some incoming damage back to its source. Damage returned is fixed per level and scales with power, increasing damage by 1 for every 13.4 power. At level 80, base damage is 267.
It’s hardly a huge issue unless you go Full power Full Crit, and 0 Vitality, then go Spin to win with no Boon Removal….
Retaliation is a conter to pure physical builds, condition damage builds is a conter to retaliation, cleancing/healing builds is a conter to condition builds, physical is a conter to clense/condition………
Why Stop hitting when almost every class can remove buffs, some can eaven turn them into debuffs….. If the meta game is high on Retaliation and other buffs, bring somthing to remove them…
Guys, atleast here in Europe we got 27 servers, with wery difrent PoP and PvE/PvP comunity, how come a lot of you act like we got a unlimited number of players and servers to play around with?
This is indeed extremely lame. When you can’t win, cheat. GG.
Not wery smart, Using this tactic on a large skale will most likely rank the server way higher than they are suposed to be ranked.
Have fun the next 3 months when they lock down the server transfers and battles lasts for 2 weeks lol. then agen im pretty shure the other servers will enjoy it big time
Why so worried about Nighttime raids?, solution is simple trow 10€ into the gemstore, trade them for gold, buy a Cannon upgrade for all Forts and towers you own. From what I seen the small nightime zergs rarly get trough a upgraded tower or fort. then agen, im playing on a low pop server.
