Anyandrell.6238:

Cracks me up when I see people suggesting kickstarters to a company that has a revenue of several tens of millions of US dollars. What you gonna do with the kickstarter? Raise enough money to buy the air freshener in the company’s restrooms? Because I doubt it will be enough to buy tp for a month.

You are quite oblivious to the size of things kickstarter has funded/help fund so far, do you think a game like Star Citizen is something to scoff at?

but I agree with you somewhat, I doubt the reason we are not seeing an expansion is lack of funds or something like that.

OP you are a top class hipster, careful to not stop breathing one of these days because “everyone else is doing it too”

JK, I know how you feel about this and while it never stopped me from playing a class/race combo it does influence my choice from time to time when it comes to armors/faces and hair styles.

taxing in pvt kittenters will not improve the breach sucess at all, and most of the “breach hoppers” will just hit the boss enough to get credit and move to another boss so they can get 4 parts.

Encouraged by game design, I can’t blame them.

I agree, can’t really hate the players for doing it… indeed I even caught myself doing the same when I was kittened trying to get the bladders.

I would rather have the extractor on a shorter duration + a cooldown and instead award everyone one bag of organs for every boss that is beaten during a breach event, this way everyone would “try hard” to get it done properly, I think.

SW in general is heavily favorable to what many would consider “bad behavior” like tag and run, that map could certainly use a little rework on how the rewards are given out.

Shivan.9438:

it’s going to get to the point that maps are full and can’t reach breach.

If you’re willing to put in the effort, it will always be possible to push a breach regardless of how many people there are. I’ve done it entirely solo by rotating through 2 forts at a time, capturing them, defending them once and letting them fail. Since doing this is only worth 1-3% progress, it’ll take around a few hours and is simply a waste of time. What makes it worse is that I have done this a few times in an attempt to solo the bosses and have had zergs show up at the last second.

“Is the zone full?” “Taxi in more people!”

People who say this when it’s almost time for the breach are the real problem. You don’t need a zerg. Breaches are best done with only 3-5 people, assuming of course they’re not bad players. Advertising your instance is just making it easier for abusers.

This a 1.000 times, taxing in pvt kittenters will not improve the breach sucess at all, and most of the “breach hoppers” will just hit the boss enough to get credit and move to another boss so they can get 4 parts.

There is no cure, you will keep clicking forever :/

Knowing anet they will likely fix this by removing all windows from the game.

I don’t even understand the “muh immersion” arguments that apparently motivated the changes, even now when you look closely to the characters they are probably looking anywhere but at the person/group they are talking to, or adjusting the hair/looking to the sides.

I fail to see how what we have now is any improvement over the old stretching and kicking the ground animations, but I guess the devs know better, right?

I have two warriors and two eles, mostly because I lost hope of ever getting a race change. Also the duplicate toons happen to have crafting with recipes I wouldn’t be able to replace so easily.

Superior Rune of Michael Bay (6/6)
(1) +25 power
(2) 50% chance to trigger an explosion when struck
(3) +100% explosion radius
(4) +10% damage when not looking at explosions
(5) Gain 3 seconds of immunity when an explosion occurs
(6) 50% chance to trigger another explosion when an explosion occurs

Congratz for making it more miserable than it was

I have posted this before but it is indeed a huge stepback and I can’t believe they are enforcing this system with new releases. I can only especulate if such releases are taking the place of regular armor, in that case I would be double kittened ;_;

Never buying a single piece outfit, no matter how cheap they make it.

I really think they haven’t done this yet because they screwed something up like they did with the old sigil system and it would need a lot of rework @codes to add race change. Personal story isn’t even a strong argument, could always change race and rework your personal story through some comic like Mass Effect did with Genesis.

Anyway OP, I’m afraid you will have to just suck it up like I did in the past and level another toon if you really want it.
If you haven’t leveled a toon in a while remember that now you must unlock traits doing whatever or really rackup on those skillspoints and buy everything.

If you want your female to look exactly like a male the solution is already in game: Total Makeover Kit

You are welcome.

Tonberry.7824:

So I bought the new shadow assassin costume from the gem store and then realized that you cant replace individual parts of the item set because its a “costume”. I’m just wondering why this costume system is doing this, why can’t we just buy the costume for gem and then have our own say in how we want to mix and match? Isn’t one big part of mmorpgs standing out and sort of being different from the rest of the crowd? Why implement the costume system in the first place? Did people beg for this to be included into the game?

On another note, is it just me or do the designers at GW2 really need to step up their game. A lot of the light armor gear looks horrible (especially the ones on the gem store) and medium armor sort of follows that train as well. It feels like all the love is going towards heavy armor and even at that sometimes they look ugly as hell. I can understand if low level gear looks bad, but when you get to end game wouldn’t it make sense to have good looking gear?
Don’t get me wrong, there area few OK looking armor sets out there but none of them really have that jaw drop effect where you think “I NEED that gear”

Just Anet being super aware of what people want in their game.
Limiting player’s customization options in a game driven by cometics must have really sounded like a fantastic ideia in their HQ.

Azhure.1857:

Start a thread out of curiosity. You’ve got my attention.
Insert veiled insult in opening post to many of the players in this game that may or may not respond to your thread. You’ve lost my attention.

+1 for this.

apparently OP can’t wrap his head around the idea that some people can and want to play more than 2 hours each day since launch.

I was thinking the same thing one of these days, absolutely +1

• Gathering nodes are still randomized on every map instance.

To the people complaining about this. You were exploiting the fact that you could know the node routes and thus get the same nodes on multiple characters. I understand that you’re upset they’ve removed the exploit, but it’s good for the game overall.

Holy kitten, you heard it here people, using an external site like orrmaps.com was an exploit and you should be ashamed of doing it.

How in the name of god was this an exploit? Gathering specific mats would be a tedious and msierable experience without the help of those maps. On the same note world boss timers or temple status sites were also dirty filthy exploits as well?

That is what I’m trying to figure out, you might wanna ask Lankybrit.4598 for a good reasoning.

Spoilers: you will be disappointed.

This thread was really amusing, some people are beyound delusional if they think legendaries still hold any prestige.

Well I’m glad it is not official, if the next LS was powered by the same people running the twitter accounts I would be seriously worried.

I will never understand why people choose to fool themselves like this.

HOLY CLEAVAGE!!!

http://dulfy.net/2014/02/19/gw2-zodiac-armor-skin-gallery/

GW2 just became the Side Boob Hour

I want one with the original skin ;_;

How come we can’t even dye the blueish stuff?

I would consider getting if it was possible.

A)

Can’t really stand LA.

Same for me, DCs and lags spikes are getting too common.

What exactly did you expect after a year of content that was literally “press 1 to win”?

I will forever be thankful of Deadeye allowing me to farm 2,200 gold off him.

So your telling me, you farming this guy for roughly 120 hours in two weeks… you sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar.

Let’s give this man a hand!

2200g would be more like 30 to 80 hours. As a warrior, I was even averaging at least 28g an hour and I’ve seen some thieves do up to 70g/hr.

How exactly was the thief making more than double bags than you each hour?
600 or so bags could be achieved with an empty arena, now a thousand bags?

Unless you are counting some RNG strike like “he got 10 lodestones in those bags!!” I don’t see how it was possible.

Took me well over 40 tickets but this is it, been a while since I felt rewarded in any PvE content.

Major props to JustinProCrew @youtube for giving me a clear idea of what should be done.

Ress the person once and leave the arena, so E.

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

5-6 hrs farming this a day is casual right?

“midcore” at least.

Anyway I wonder how good is Queen’s Gauntlet farming in general compared to other stuff like champ trains, maybe the profits aren’t that far off?

akamon.2769:

one thing thuogh, on a side note, at 5 times, 5 times!! last night after i empowered with another guard, i switch back to sword, yellow text.. fight starting soon.. i get ported in, then i get ported right back out right away. has anyone else experienced this? not sure what was going on.. but that was 25 tickets gone down the drain. :// and it was only happening to me as well.

It always seems to happen if I get ported to the arena as I’m about to finish the empowered animation, with other classes it never happened.

People like OP and the greedy attitude in general are the main reasons I want to see this gauntlet farming gone.

KOPPER.1458:

I seem to be having an issue then. WOR seems to do a lot less damage, he is charging the head shot in melee then teleports in instant kills me. Lack of ascended makes that big a difference in dps?

You certainly need more DPS if had tight clear times before as you have less damage coming from reflects, you also need to use blinds when you know the killshot is coming and maybe use your shield of wrath/zealot defense when he is doing the other regular attacks.

Try to observe other guardians doing it, fill bloodlust stacks downstairs and use damage increasing food/oils if you really need and I’m pretty sure ascended isn’t needed at all.

I can’t check the game yet, but I have heard the following:

quaggan aggros immediately
deadeye will shoot you immediately once you spawn in
reflected shots hit him back for 10-20 dmg
deadeye no longer teleports to spawn in 10 seconds

I believe 4 gambits is still doable if these are all the changes, when I first got with my guardian around it I would never use WoR to kill him, then I moved to thief due to the less downtime between fights.

cannons.8109:

All I see are warriors everywhere queued for the gauntlet farming deadeye. I tried doing the gauntlet for the first time today and got nasty messages from the mob of warriors telling me to leave their arenas. It was like conga lines where they would go in, kill deadeye in 3 seconds and get back in line over and over. After i died on the pirate crew, all 5 of the warriors stood around me and wouldn’t Rez me. I don’t mind the farming, but the attitudes of these people are annoying.

You will find this behavior everywhere that is a money spot, try killing a champ "out of order’ in Orr and see how many people will send you nice messages.

This is pretty much the life of some people, just have pity on them and move on.

apologies for double post.

sorry, i haven’t been following too much.. did they change the mechanic of the fights? or just changed the loot drops from 7?

Just the loot from 7, it is now possible to actually lose a little bit of money if you win the fight.

The inconsistency is quite disturbing if you ask me, they should either undo Subject 7 changes or make changes to Deadeye soon.

Impressive, I was thinking with myself one of these days that many things Guang was once mocked for saying are now coming to be accepted by a good number of people.

In the old days of the almighty AH anchor groups he was one of the first I saw saying that AH builds or anchor in general were mostly useless if your group knew the encounters, I remember the initial reaction was something like:
“You need an anchor everywhere” then some months later “You need an anchor for high level content” and finally “Anchor isn’t needed”.

Then there was the ranger and engineer viability versus warrior stacking and I’m sure there is more as I was never that active in the other forum.

TL;DR Guang is pretty cool guy.

Warrior does not have the upper hand this time, thieves can do 5 gambit as well and they do not need to use an utility with 60 seconds CD like the warrior. I’d say even guardians are better than Warriors this time since the only CD you really need to wait is WoR and you get kills before the first shadowstep.

But yeah, just wait for the nerf tomorrow, then go kill champs in CS or something.

I’m experiencing the same issue, the loading screen takes forever.

Nikaido.3457:

The higher reward for AC doesn’t really make any sense vs dungeons like CM and SE.

This was my first thought when I saw the list.

The game could have something in place to encourage rookie training though. I have recently played another game where your first 10 runs in some instance would give you some personal buffs like a free out of jail card(ress) and even a party wide increase to the final boss drop rates so long as the rookie stays near it when it dies.

While we don’t really have good drops in GW2 at all, that system could be adjusted to grant extra tokens per path with a rookie, as to make up for the extra time spent teaching yes?

Anyway, hope OP got some help, this community can be kitten sometimes.

It will be funny if sometime later in the year anet adds new crafting mats(for ascended stuff maybe?) and the “orichalcum grade” picks are not enough to mine it.

I think the “exploit” was just people using guilds as "on demand mobile banks ", less true banks upgrades, less gems sold and etc.

Nothing against people selling slots and whatnot, but why would you ever want the DM title if you wont be able to “uphold” the title?

I mean you might join an arah group later and know nothing about the dungeon, some DM huh?
It is like getting a champion “x” title and be killed by every hundred blades/heartseeker spammer in spvp

+1 for playable skritt!

In particular, there is a skritt “collector” in Queensdale that cracks me up everytime.

So much for no gear treadmill huh?
glad I already got my money’s worth out of this game.

Homeless.8095:

Bots are heavy in WvWvW now as well. There are at least a dozen together in the lake killing krait in the SoR, DH, SR match. Granted, there is not currently a queue for our server due to the match being very one sided so it probably is not prohibiting our players from coming but it is still very annoying. If any DH or SR folks read this, go destroy the lake bots for us.

So it has come to this eh?

I think I’ll just take a break until anet do something about this ridiculous bot issue.
