I like the design. What I don’t like is how close the sparring NPC’s are together. I can’t fight one without ending up 2 or more. Bad design.

It needs work like most other halllf asssssseddd features anet adds to the game while ignoring our feedback. My biggest complaint is that you can’t stay locked on a target once you turn your crosshair too far left or right. Maybe they’ve never played Ocarina of Time? This style was perfected over 19 years ago. It’s not that hard of a concept to grasp. But then again, we’re dealing with anet here.

Rune of the mesmer & sigil of paralyzation

Sorry if this thread has been made before but the search feature has been useless since the creation of this forum. It probably deserves its own thread…..

Anyways, the rune and sigil don’t increase stun or daze durations. So why has this not been fixed? Why not change the rune/sigil or just remove them both completely. Stop wasting our gold on items that don’t work.

Play as a berserker warrior using stance and signet. You’ll never worry about conditions again.

Keefe.3821

The only class that needs a nerf is warrior. It’s bad enough that they have a stance that resist conditions and are able to remove them using burst skills. Now with berserker they can remove them even faster and have resistance on their signet. Its ridiculous. No point in fighting a warrior with conditions anymore. As always, good kittening job bringing balance to guild wars anet.

Arrow carts need to be fixed. Why should we have to see what we are hitting if it’s under the aoe. This makes no sense and still hasn’t been fixed after all these years. What the kitten anet?

I can’t understand the match ups. Dragonbrand lost to YB and somehow we end up playing against JQ and FA which has the biggest server populations. Makes no sense.

They should make the desert bl the fifth map. Totally unclaimed by any server.

Big population drop after released desert bl

Keefe.3821

How much of the population drop was really related to DBL though versus the unbalancing effects of the new elite specs and the resulting OP boonsharing meta that was also introduced with HoT?

I stopped playing wvw for months because of the desert bls. Still sucks that at least one server has to deal with it every match.

Why do Upgrade Extractors still exist?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

I’ve never thought of buying them because I still have stacks of Black Lion Salvage Kits (never bought them, they just piled up from somewhere), and only use them on Exotic+ armor (usually sell weapons I don’t need, unless the weapon has a shiny sigil) or for the 100% extraction if I’m upgrading/changing weapons.

I rarely gets black lion kits now. Knowing ANET I’m sure that its not a coincidence.

Toggle on or off ground targeting

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

Can we get this option? The majority off the time I don’t need to or want to use ground targeting. As an engi I want to use the tool belt elixirs on myself, not throw them at the enemy. As memser I want to stand in my wells when I choose to (healing wells).

Its just a lot easier when I can choose what skills I want for ground tageting instead of forcing them on us.

A while back, necro wells and ranger traps could be changed to or from ground target with traits but thats not what I want. A simple way to individually toggle them on and off would do the trick. Like how we can disable or enable auto attack by using Ctrl + Mouse 2

How many quit playing WvW since new maps?

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

I don’t play the desert maps at all. Everything is fortified and the maps are too kitten big.

They need to bring the alpines back and stop with this autoupgrade nonsense.

The only way for the desert map to work is if they have only 1 map that with each server sharing it. Kind of like EOTM……maybe.

The desert map is a big mistake and EVERYONE on my server hates it. We even have guilds leaving because of that bullkitten map.

Keefe.3821

Well we’ve been matched up against Mag 4 weeks in a row and always come in second. When i say come in second, i mean they basically crushed us so we compete for second. I don’t get why they are still in our tier when they easily outnumber us 3 to 1. anet is so busy shoving new content down our throats that they ignore ongoing matchup problems. Great job anet.

White Sword Removal Very Helpful

in WvW

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

I’m on T3. Found the change refreshing to say the least. Even though we came a distant second, it gave our server the opportunity to cap the winning server’s territory. Before this change, they would have come along with their zerg/blob & steam rolled us. Heck, we even got lord room gates down in their keep before the blob overwhelmed us. No way this would have happened in the past.
The non white swords are going to have little impact on PPT. It does make life a lot easier for servers with smaller populations to roam & cap without being wiped 90% of the time.

This has less to do with white swords and more to do with ANET horrible job with servers match ups/population.

This is one of the dumbest ideas yet. We are outnumbered the majority of the time in Anvil Rock. Its hard enough defending when we don’t have many people on. Now our towers are just flipping without warning. That is unless we have a way point. So now I have to constantly check to see if our way point is contested; which if I check it too late we’re screwed anyway. Why was this necessary again?

I don’t know about the technical side but I’m sure they could make it work. It could be as simple as having designated spots in our inventory for the pre sets.

Not swapping but being able to change the 2 sets of weapons you have.

Ex. An elemental has 2 daggers. The first preset could be scepter/dagger. The second preset could be dagger/focus. The third preset could be a staff. Ect

Just a quick way to get what ever combination of weapons you need with a click of a button before battle.

Its would be great to be able to change the weapon combo depending on the enemy or situation.

I’m not allowed to post this in suggestions. Sorry if this has been brought up already but I i couldn’t find it in the search box. I think weapon presets would be awesome. It sucks trying to quickly get the weapons you need (with the menu covering half of the screen) when you have an enemy closing in on you. I’m not suggesting being able to change during battle but hot buttons to be ready when circumstances quickly change and you don’t have the right weaponry right before combat. At least 4 presets would be enough I think.

World Bosses/Temples during Oceanic hours

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

How do I find out where world bosses are located? Anytime I find out about them is at random when I see a large group all headed in the same direction.

I tried searching this forum but it never shows anything for some reason.

Bookmark this: http://us.gw2stuff.com/ it will show which events are currently active and their location.

Most meta events can be done with small groups (<5 players) except for Taidha Covington, Temple of Balthazar, Tequatl and probably Karka Queen.

If you play around server reset time, there’s usually a zerg that does all events, usually led by one or more commanders, just find out who this person/these people are and add them to your friends list.

Thank you

Pet names not saving?

in Ranger

Posted by: Keefe.3821

Keefe.3821

I’d point you to the notes if the search box were working. Using various google search tools, I still can’t pinpoint the actual developer response for you. However, it was explicitly stated a while back that pet names are not saved because of the memory allocations that would be needed and how they would create an unreasonable demand for storage on their end. The official stance on the issue is “working as intended.”

4 million players. Assume 50% of them have a ranger alt.
42 pets, but 3 are HoM based, so call it 40.
Name limit is, what, 15 characters?

(4 million) * (.5) * (40) * (15 bytes) = 1.2 GB of data they’d need to store max. At current hard drive prices, that’s about 5 cents worth of HDD space. I’d offer to buy it for them just to get the names fixed, except the cost of postage to mail them the check would be almost 10x the amount of the check.

And that’s worst-case. Any competent database won’t allocate the space unless it’s needed. So 1.2 GB is how much space would be needed if every ranger character gave every pet a 15-character name.

And as has been pointed out, you could just store the names on the player’s computer, and have the client dynamically rename the pet the moment it’s swapped in.

And as has also been pointed out, you could just recycle one name for all the pets, since clearly the game already saves at least two pet names.

I’m sorry, but that answer smells like a “I don’t want to work on fixing this, so I’ll just make up a technical excuse to confuse people into thinking it’s too hard to fix.” Every other online game, including GW1, remembers the name you give your pets.

This is simply a issue they are are too lazy to deal with and is now a pointless feature to have.
