Will the Mac client make it out of beta?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Kain.9127

Kain.9127

In my opinion they probably should not have created and advertised a Mac client to start with. Since we are such a tiny customer base that they don’t have the resources to support they should have just not produced the product. This would have resulted in 0 frustrated Mac customers that are waiting for at least some information aside from a generic, “No news at this time.”

Even if they came here and said something like, “Sorry no work on the Mac client is being conducted due to such as small customer base. We have no plans to provide support at this time”, some of us would be happy with that just knowing.

Obviously they saw something in such a small customer base or they would not have developed the client in the first place. And yes, I still find it humorous how fast they recognized, communicated and solved the gem store bug for such a small, insignificant customer base that contributes next to nothing to their profits.

This. My friend paid 60 bucks for this game, to play on her mac. It was completely unplayable. No trading post! Among other issues. It absolutely blew me away that they charged her 60 bucks for that garbage. That was in november, nothings changed.

Ive been telling people to stay away from this game since that. A company that would allow that sort of thing to happen isnt one I recommend to friends.

I took a few months break from this game. Left when sor got into t1, now this server is just full of elitist kittenes.

Looks like you’re talking about the entire server based on what just a few people from there says here. That’s no good.

Nah, I’m saying this after playing wvw for awhile and seeing the difference. Its easy to notice after being gone for awhile. All the people freaking out about “get in ts or gtfo” sor was never like that. We promoted ts use yeah but the good commanders communicated with everyone in map still.

Maybe I just miss alpaca.

Hmmm with this evidence it certainly seems much more plausible the reports I heard of on reset night jq/sor working together in each other’s ts server to double team bg relentlessy that night.

Which is a pretty kitten kittenbag move. BG doubled teamed us for months with sbi and then tc. We held second. Everyone hated bg for it. Now we’re doing the same things they do? Classy.

This is like asking people in pre nerf cursed shore to stop holding mobs, etc. This is like asking at Lyssa for people to stop standing in middle and goto ledge. In my experience, any high population server will be as greedy as possible. There was a huge differnce between ex-server JQ CS/Lyssa Farm and my previous servers. JQ was ruthless but honestly it makes you better. You learn to get to them quicker. It was pointless to try to convince people and in a way

This might not be your playstyle, but they might have limited time or want to farm it. Or they want to do it fast etc. To the early bird, gets the worm.

I play on SoR. Its a high pop server. The early bird gets the worm, sure. But there are a lot of birds out there. We started working together and waiting for each other. The people just taking them and not sharing, we’d see them coming and exclude them from holos. So they’d waste that time running, then they’re SOL and have to wait for the next holo. Then hope one of us doesnt get there before them and snag that one too.

People learned. They realised they could get them a hell of a lot quicker by working together. Instead of being a kitten and then having 10 other people actively working to shut you down.

If they have limited time, again, you get more doing it the way im talking about because it eliminates competition. You’re no longer showing up to a holo just as someone else takes it. No matter how fast you are theres someone there faster. Now that we’re waiting just a few seconds and sharing them, we’re getting more holos faster. Simple.

So screw your playstyle. It doesnt make you better. Working together to achieve something makes you better, this is an mmo. Go it alone and screw other people over all you want, it wont get you far.

This server has been tight since this game came out. We work together on everything. Hence our rise up the wvw ladder. JQ shoulda learned from that.

A little courtesy goes a long ways.

actually, all you gotta do is let all the other people know who is taking them. I give people a couple chances but ive only had to mention peoples names twice now. Apparently everyone in the region wouldnt wait for those guys.

So if you get someone who insists on being an kitten about it, just call it out in map chat. We’re getting WAY more holos like this. People who were nuking them before even switched to weaker weps so they can tag them without 1 shotting the holos for everyone else.

A little courtesy goes a long ways.

I started farming holos in fireheart rise figuring it’d be quiet over there. There were several people determined to kill the things before anyone else could. Even after grouping with them with some guildies these people would kill the holos instead of waiting 5 seconds for other people to catch up and tag them.

Now these things dont have much hp, thats true. Its no excuse not to share. I moved to another zone and would wait if I seen another player approaching the holo. At first everyone in that zone was the same as in fireheart. After waiting for people they started returning the favour.

Theres no need to be a bunch of greedy little pricks about things. Work together and you end up getting these holos easier. It made me really happy to see people start waiting, so spread it around. You see someone else coming along dont rush to kill all these things before they get there. Its shared! If your pixels matter so much to you that you have to make the game unenjoyable for someone else perhaps you should rethink some priorities in your life, cus thats pretty kitten pathetic.

Everything arena-net releases is buggy as hell or broken it seems. Grenth anyone? Why not make public test servers so you can have several thousand volunteers going through your releases letting you know whats wrong BEFORE you release it? I play eve online, it works great there. It worked good on WoW when I played that as well. The type of people who go out of there way to download test servers and play on them are generally good about reporting the things they should.

Are there reasons not to do this?

I’m interested to know the pros and cons of test servers if anyone knows more about them.

January 2013: Flame and Frost prelude [Merged Discussion]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kain.9127

Kain.9127

i think this is getting confused, as per the prelude you can buy infusions for laurels, what i was arguing for was that the base infusion included on infused ascended items be on the items you can purchase as well as the non infused version, like infused rings drop from higher levels of fractals infused whatever can be sold for more laurels.

with the changes to fractals, if i understand them correctly i will be able to join higher level fractals as long as someone in the party has done them, thus agony will be present, ill still be progressing from lvl 1 to lvl 2 and so on, but if my friends are on lvl 113 ill still need lvl 113 agony resist to be able to play with them, if i dont want to just be a burden dieing all the time due to not enough AR (exploit strategies aside) and the longer i dont join the fractals grind, the farther behind the average level ill get, how likely will it be for me to find a lvl 1 fractals pug exactly 11 months from now to start gearing up? cause im not betting its high

Kind of my point earlier about the whole..“Why do you need agony resistance if you arent running fractals. And if you want to run fractals, why are you complaining about running fractals to get the agony infused ascended gear?” My whole stance was that some folks want to almost sidestep grinding in fractals for agony infused ascended gear, AND then run high level fractals. Have their cake and eat it too.

this is a cyclic argument, I don’t want AR to run fractals I want AR so I’m not prevented from playing with my friends in part of the game should I wish to because I’m gated out of progression. if I just wanted to farm fractals id be doing it right now, what I want is to be able to play any part of the game I feel like dipping into on any given day with my friends and not be segregated from them because of poor design. someone mentioned earlier if infused items were available outside of fractals people wouldn’t do fractals to get them, they’d just do the other activity and fractals groups would die out, isn’t that a problem with fractals itself not being fun enough to merit player attention without forcing people into it due to being the only current location of BIS offering superior rewards to every other part of the game ( hope DR is getting fixed in the upcoming patches )

Alright, let me get this straight. You want Agony Resistance to be available via the infusion which could be bought using Laurels. You want Ascended gears to be available outside Fractals.

So what about Fractals players who spent hours saving up just to get our first Agony Resistance infusion? First you guys complained that it isn’t fair that PVE players do not have the options to get BiS ascended gears. Now that it is available with stats, you want an easy way to obtain Agony Resistance via Laurels. Really??

Comparing daily/monthly achievement to Fractals run, daily/monthly is a cakewalk but you want the same reward as players who painstakingly save up for Agony Resistance infusion via Fractal runs. For once, run the Fractals. Earn your Agony Resistance. Stop being self-entitled.

tl;dr:
Pre-28th Jan patch Fractal players:
- Had to level up fotm 1 to 10 to get a chance to obtain ascended ring to slot in Agony Resistance in order to proceed further. If no ring from daily chest, have to grind for another 10 daily fotm to buy first ring with Prestine Relic.

Post-28th Jan patch:
- PVE players who complained about ascended gears get to easily obtain ascended gears with Agony Resistance via daily/monthly achievement (cakewalk) without having to go though Pre-28th Jan patch Fractal player’s hardship.

CoolStoryBro.

Hardships? No one forced you to run fractals. We all knew they were realeasing other ways to get ascended gear. Anyone that took that kittenty buggy fotm grind for a few extra stats shouldn’t be complaining about it now.

Why should wvw be excluded? World exploration reward is used to craft legendaries. You have to fight in wvw to get tokens to craft legendaries. You have to play both sides of the game. Get over it. Want pve only? Great! World exploration isnt just a pve thing. Thats that.

Not to mention all the people that would start complaining about balance issues because x class beats y class every time.

That said, I do miss being able to just practice with my buddies.

I tried running them. Gave it a good go. But 3 out of the 4 runs we did, someone disconnected. Then you’re screwed. Pretty kittenty of Anet to wait on a fix for that. As it stands now they’re broken so I agree wholeheartedly that they shouldn’t be a requirement for anything. After so many failed runs due to disconnects, no one in my guild will do them. I’ve only seen my gm disconnect once in the months weve been playing together. Of course, in a fractal.

Everyone complaining about being pigeonholed into the fotm, anet sayin they agree and they dont want it that way. Im starting to think Anet likes to just say what people like to hear. Monthlies would be a great way to get people to run other dungeons.

Currently all you need is 100g and you can be a rally point in wvw. Leading your team to honor and glory! Problem is since this is a game where you can legitimately buy in game gold, anyone with money can pay to lead people. I understand you don’t want to have any ranks in wvw, so there’s no kitten contests, but the requirements of this should at least require you to have some knowledge of wvw.

A character should have to earn say 500 badges for it, + 500k karma. It would weed out some of these credit card commanders. I watched a commander treb an empty supply camp, for 15 min’s after we capped it.
I have a huge list of examples, that’s just the most recent.

ANet have obviously never played MMO’s like WoW where acquiring legendary weapons actually have you out doing a raid and a legendary quest line instead of simply grinding 24/7 oh and having DR in the game just immediately makes me think they want us to just bot and afk and the other obvious motive getting us into the gem store.

You cant sneak inside the structures when they’re owned by other servers. Only way to get those pois/vistas is to capture them, or to switch servers. Capping them isnt as hard as you’d think. People in wvw are mostly sheep. Even most commanders. Just buy some siege blueprints and lead a group of people to cap what you want. You may have to cap several objectives to get to yours but its all fun.
All it takes is one person running up to a gate and dropping a flame ram to get 5-10 sheep to stop standing around and build it.

Kain.9127

All the vendors in iron marches sold a certain style of weapons. Its changed within the last week or so. I logged on my warrior and now all her gear looks like charr cultural garbage, or steam, instead of the gear style it was before.

Is this intentional? if so, why, and are you giving out stones for people to fix their gear into something else they like, since you switched it.

In a game where the only point in acquiring end game gear is for cosmetic purposes, its kind of ridiculous to switch the way it looks randomly.

Does anyone know where else I can find the wep skins that matched iron marches karma vendors?

To not allow checkpoints in storyline missions? I just spent 15-20 mins in ossuary of the undead, a lvl 76 storyline mission, and then DC’d. That was boring enough as it is but to have to do it all over? Not a chance.

I’ve been playing this game for 3-4 weeks now, it seemed absolutely amazing at first. I’m really seeing now that there are so many little things wrong with it, its too much I think. Filters on the ah for example, why not a feature to remember them?
Nothing to tell you when a friend logs in/out or likewise with guild members, unless I’m missing it. Why?

Every class having so many of their traits and skills not work or work incorrectly after the game being out for this long is also just plain unacceptable.

It seems like a great game but, it needs some serious work. Has Anet said anything about the bugs other than “we’re working on it” ? Dec 4th I go back to eve online, hopefully Anet gets their kitten together and fixes this game.

I just started playing this game a few weeks ago and was absolutely blown away by how great it is. Then i got over the “new and shiny” phase and started noticing the bugs. It seems about 1/4 to 1/5 of each classes abilities and traits are bugged and not working at all or improperly. Not being able to complete the storyline? It wad absolutely unacceptable that that bug was allowed to remain for months.

Just as I was reaching end game, fractals were released. I cant begin to describe how dissapointed I am to see how that was implemented. Between the bugs still in game and their inexcusably shoddy release of new content, they wont get a dime further from me.
