Question about GW2 assets

in Community Creations

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

Are Guild Wars 2 assets (like class icons and skill pictures and stuff like that) protected by copyright and therefore cannot be used in merchandise without expressed consent from ArenaNet?

I wasn’t quite sure where to ask this. Sorry if it’s off-topic.

Stealing from US (again and again)

For the “if you don’t like it don’t do it” crowd, you seem to forgot that these achievements are only available for the event and are gone forever. This means that achievement completionists are forced to pay the gold. Like someone else stated, it would have been much more appropriate to instead get the achievement from donating something else, like maybe the Wintersday weapon skins as toys. Something to keep in the theme without it making it just seem like a money grab.

I’m also against the tri-color key achievement because there’s no way to get the key pieces without having to purchase them.

Jumping Puzzle Raaage...

in A Very Merry Wintersday

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

The major flaw with the puzzle is the change to the exploding presents. The issue comes when there are a lot of people jumping and all the presents seemingly explode all at once. Then there are the scenarios where some presents are gone, but not all, and everyone sits there and waits for someone to jump on the presents to trigger the rest of the explosions. When I complained in map chat people told me to just wait until I was by myself to make it easier but that never happened because there was always a constant stream of players coming in.

One thing that I thought was odd was the disappearing snowflake platforms. I thought it was cool adding the constant damage because I figured it meant that the snowflakes wouldn’t disappear anymore as the damage would still make it a race. Yet, they still do disappear and waste everyone’s time.

Also I don’t like how there are rounds. I was in the middle of doing the jumping puzzle when all the sudden a screen came up blocking my screen and I was like WTF and then I got teleported back to the start.

Challenge: Dev LiveStream of Dredge Level 41

in Fractured

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

This would be cool but the devs won’t do it because they would probably just embarrass themselves and they would have to admit to having made faulty design decisions and they’re not willing to do that. They’d rather just keep the fractal as is and have people just complain endlessly about it on the forums.

I could potentially see this as a boss mechanic, but I don’t think I’d want a whole fractal like it. It would encourage grief. Just imagine being in a pug and someone is repeatedly damaging team mates (on purpose or on accident). The team would most likely kick the person and would have to find someone else to join.

There’s no need to change the players for the wintersday jumping puzzle. The jumping puzzle was designed with the fact in mind that last year a lot of people were complaining about the Mad King Tower.

There was no real chance for the Abaddon fractal, they wouldn’t be able to shoehorn Scarlet into it. It was a rigged poll.

Maybe Scarlet traveled back in time and influenced Abbadon to fight against the other gods.

The car is annoying because it takes so long. The bomb part is annoying because for it to be smooth you need a thief. I can’t comment on the panel part because I haven’t done the fractal since the change.

Fractal Leaderboard

in Suggestions

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

I read that the new fractal leaderboard is a “first come first serve” format which I think is, kind of lame. It essentially just creates a race and once the race is over that’s it. Whoever is in first is in first until they add 10 more levels.

I think a better solution is to reward players Leaderboard Points after finishing a fractal. And how I think that should be handled is that 1-9 gives 1 point, 10-19 gives 2 points, 20-29 gives 3 points, 30-39 gives 4 points, 40-49 gives 5 points, etc. And to keep people from doing the highest level fractal all day just for Leaderboard Points I think the reward should be given from the daily rewards. As a side effect this would also encourage players to play on the lower level fractals, increasing the pool size of players so that newer players can adequately find parties. And the reason why higher leveled fractals give more points is because unequal content should not be rewarded equally as a rule of thumb.

I don’t think the leaderboard should be affected by player performance (i.e. times died, dps, etc) because I think it could promote bad behavior.

Of course this brings up the question about how this can be implemented in a way that players know what’s going on. Perhaps it can be shown as a reward on the daily screen. And so what players know what it means exactly, perhaps you can put a NPC in the fractal lobby that shows the leaderboard in-game. If the leaderboard is show in-game then more people are exposed to it which would hopefully mean that more people would compete in it.

Soulbound/account bound needs to go

in Suggestions

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

I know this is going to be ignored, but that’s ok. I need to get this off my chest at least. One thing that has always bothered me about MMOs is the concept of items being bound to your character or account. I feel as though I am being penalized by binding something to me. Guild Wars 2 is supposed to be taking the annoying things about other MMOs and throwing them out the window (one example is gatherables).

A lot of people have the notion that people shouldn’t be able to bypass content by being able to purchase items from that content. However I like to look at it from a different perspective. If someone receives a reward that they don’t want, then it’s not really a reward. If I get an item that doesn’t have the right stats or isn’t the right level or isn’t for my profession or whatever but it’s soulbound, that item is useless to me. You could make the argument that you can salvage it but salvaging is RNG. You could make the argument that we need soulbinding to encourage people to salvage, but people would still be able to salvage whatever they wanted and the fact that you can only get certain items from salvaging (ectos, the ascended orb thing) is enough of a reason to warrant salvaging. We don’t need artificial encouragement to salvage. One easy example of a reward not being a reward are the ascended rings. After you’ve done fractals for awhile ascended rings just start to pile up in your bank. It can get to the point to where if you get one from a daily you just go “oh great, another ring…”

I feel that this could also create a more interesting market. Also if it encourages more trading then it would remove more money from the economy. The only exception I think is that items received from karma should be account bound, since that is the nature of the beast. Karma could be the currency used for super special items so that karma could actually have a use.

Skill point in home instance

in Tower of Nightmares

Kojiden.8405

That would be kind of cool if it gave a skill point every day. Maybe just 1 a day max. That would give people (especially newer people) more reason to go to the home instance. I have like 200 skill scrolls in my bank. It’s not like 1 a day is going to cause chaos.

Ranger shouts

in Suggestions

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

I feel that the ranger shouts could be made to be a little more interesting for PvP. The pet could be used to counter certain playstyles to make the ranger more of a counter-based class to make them more unique. Here are some examples that may or may not be good.

Protect Me: Have there be some kind of penalty for attacking the player. I know the pet absorbs damage, but I feel that it should also encourage enemies to attack the pet instead of the player. One idea of a penalty could be for instance having the pet give the ranger Retaliation until the pet is dead. Or maybe something that buffs the ranger, like having the ranger absorb some of the damage to heal him/herself whe he/she gets attacked. I dunno.

Guard: This could be changed to be the anti-stealth ability. The idea would be to place the pet in an area to keep stealthed enemies from going through it. So maybe the pet could see enemies as though they aren’t stealthed, and if they hit an enemy it unstealths them and applies Revealed on them. Though given this change you may have to make it so that the pet doesn’t go invisible so that stealthed players can see the pet. The pet should probably keep the protection buff, though so they have something against non-stealthed players.

Sic Em: With the Guard change this ability would obviously have to lose the anti-stealth. I think this ability should be used to temporarily disable a target.. So maybe it can apply a Daze and also maybe Torment as well. So that they do have the option of running but if they do it hurts them and so they need to decide how to deal with the situation. Though with this added you might want to nerf something, like change the damage increase to 25% or something.

Search and rescue: This ability could be the new stealthed ability. It would be cool to have a stealth rez. Although there needs to be a debuff put on the pet for the duration of the stealth. For instance maybe it puts stacks of vulnerability on itself so that AoE damage tears through the pet.

And to make the abilities easier to deal with, there would probably be some sort of symbol or something that appears over the ranger’s head that shows either that they have activated a shout, or have a symbol over their head depending on what shout that was used. I like the idea of having just 1 symbol and making the enemies figure out which shout was used.

No male heroes?

in Tower of Nightmares

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

Considering the wide-spread negligence of female heroes in video games, I say it’s a good move. Funny to see the reaction of some people as soon as not 99% of all video game characters are male…

I’m seeing a lot of responses like this one in the thread. It’s a little disheartening. Some people think there should be a few more male NPCs in the living story, and all the sudden it’s some sort of attack against women and all of womankind. Then there’s the people saying that nobody would be saying anything if it was all males, and that’s a flat out lie. Then there’s people saying that it’s ok that men are under-represented because women were under-represented in the past. It’s hard to have any kind of real discussion when people act like this.

marjory and Kasmeers work relationship?

in Tower of Nightmares

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

Here’s a couple of issues within this thread:

1) What difference does it make it characters of the same gender are close? Obviously the writers aren’t providing all the details, and rightfully so, because you don’t want to open Pandora’s Box in this day and age. Clever hints allow the player’s imagination to go where it goes.

2) Don’t assume all close relationships are sexual in nature. This goes for both same or opposite gender couplings. I have a guy friend who I buy stuff for all the time, but that doesn’t make me gay nor place us in a relationship. The term “brotherly love” comes to mind.

Obviously how it’s going to go is that Kasmeer already has a thing for Marjory, but Marjory does not have a thing for Kasmeer. However events will occur (probably in the next update) that will put Kasmeer in a good light to Marjory. This will start to change Marjory’s feelings for Kasmeer but isn’t enough quite yet. Later something else will happen that clearly states that Kasmeer has a thing for Marjory, which will cause Marjory to suddenly discover that she has a thing for Kasmeer as well.

This is a really common storytelling trope. The reason it doesn’t apply to Logan/Rytlock is because the trope has a pre-requisite that one person needs to have a crush on the other first. And neither Logan or Rytlock has a crush on the other. So this trope does not apply for them.

The question will be if ArenaNet milks this to push an agenda or if they will try to make it seem natural and seamless.

Yah it seems the living story is all about gurlpower. Scarlet in the spotlight, Queen Jenna in the spotlight, Marjory, Lady Kasmeer, Kiel.
Logan and Faren only make an appearance when they need someone to fail (comicaly).

Some more character diversity would be great.

Having the male act like a buffoon is a pretty common male trope. You see it a lot in advertising.

Anyways I do agree that there needs to be a couple more prominent male characters. Though this may not have been as much of an issue if people voted for Evon Gnashblade. :P

Blackgate here. I know that if there were no guests that there would still be a queue, but it wouldn’t be extremely long all day long. Even if I log on at like 4am there is still an extremely long queue. I’ve only been able to get on the blackgate server once on Sparkfen since the patch came out.

Limiting guesting in some manner would help I believe. I think something should be done with guesting for the 2 weeks that the tequatl living story is up. For instance maybe make it so you can only get rewards from overflow or your own server.

World boss notification

in Suggestions

Posted by: Kojiden.8405

Kojiden.8405

I don’t necessarily disagree with the concept of adding the timers. However I feel that it would now be beneficial to somehow have an alert to players when a world boss event is starting. If I remember right Rift had something like this. We could have a chat option where it tells us in chat when a world boss spawns. And if people don’t care about world bosses then they can just uncheck it in the chat tab options to hide it.
