Guild Wars 2

Malchior.5732:

I’m not sure on the math, but I think that Condi Rev just isn’t great for PvE currently. The new mobs move around a lot, but several bosses don’t and anything in the old content barely moves either, so your Torment will do pitiful damage and your Poison and Burns are just bonuses really.
If Roy follows up with that trait that increases Torment damage on enemies that stand still, then I guess it’ll be more viable in more places.

If you watch some of the raids from beta weekend you will see that raid boss generally move around a lot more and takes more then 30 seconds to kill. So I think torment damage will be one of the best condition damage to stack with the raid coming. The old content is really too vulnerable to being burst down.

It sounds counter intuitive to make torment damage increase on stand still enemy when the whole point of the torment condition is to do double damage when they move . . . .

What he should fix is the venom enchantment trait and lower the ICD to 3 seconds or something. Hell just reduce the ICD for some of the traits in corruption. . . it so dam high . . .

Spontaneous Destruction . . .25 seconds . . .
Diabolic Inferno . .10 seconds . . .

And just get rid of Maniacal Persistence . . we don’t need Crit chance with herald trait line which is almost always 100% taken in pve. :/

Scipio.3204:

Gambling is serious business , it could cause addiction, you could lose a fortune etc. It is illegal in many country for anyone who isn’t 18 year old yet. Now, the law’s definition of gambling in my country is: Every game counts as gambling, where the player in exchange of money or any valuable possessions, under certain circumstances he has a chance to win money, or other valuable prizes. Winning or losing depends solely or predominantly on luck.
Now we all know in the black lion chests you could win items of different value, and with the gem/gold conversion we can even tell how much does an item worth in real money, also it depends purely on luck what you win. Also black lion keys main source is the gem store, you can buy them with gold , but you also can buy them with real money .
I’m not in law school, therefore I don’t really know what fall under the category of gambling and I hope someone here knows. But for me the keys feels like they are gambling and at least should be restricted to 18+.

I think you miss one major point where this case will not hold up in court is that you agreed to the TOS. Which states that nothing you own that is tied to this game is yours all of it belongs to ANET, the only right you have is to play the game.

Also age restriction means nothing in a digital world, where you simply click yes and move on. Unless you enforce a overbearing rule like Korea and demand SSN / Official Government ID upon account creation (or bank accounts . . . .). But then even if you try to restrict the age down to a more “mature” audience. People will still gripe about it being a “gambling” problem (unless the rate of return for BLC is increased).
