A lot of the MF peoples’ argument seems to be that you can still use MF and be “good enough”. An example of why this is wrong: say you have 5 people doing dungeon runs, and 2 are using MF gear. As a result, the runs take 15 minutes instead of 12. Sure, you could argue that 15 minutes is good enough (only a 3 minute difference, after all), but it adds up. After an hour, you have done 4 runs. If all 5 players were using optimal gear, you would have done 5 runs. As a result, the 3 players contributing the most have gotten 20% less loot, and the 2 contributing less than their full potential got more than they otherwise would have. See the problem? Yes you still finished the run, but your decrease in efficiency is still hurting your teammates.
Your absolute effectiveness with your MF gear does not matter, only your relative efficiency compared to using real gear. You could have been the best person on your team, even in your MF gear, but you would have been even better in other gear. That difference is costing your teammates loot. Getting more loot at the expense of your teammates is selfish; asking you to perform as best you are able is not.
It is the same way with engineer grenades, and it makes no sense. Range should not just be absolute distance. It should be based on max horizontal distance, and max positive vertical distance.
I think that its just the 1 attack on grenades, not all grenade attacks. Its a little bit compensated by a couple of the other attacks now dealing damage, we will have to see how much overall DPS suffers.
I used to go into overflow every time on Crystal Desert, tonight I haven’t gotten in once. Had two groups of 5 dispand tonight because we could not get into the same instance for fractals to start. It has been very frustrating.
Happened to our overflow as well, sad times after spending a couple hours getting to that point…
- Craftable – There are a number of weapons that can be crafted from materials that come from Halloween content. They are exotic and they have their own stats. You can craft these at any time of the year, but there are certain components that will only drop during Halloween. Since these weapons are really cool, we allow you to rent them from an in-game vendor in Lion’s Arch. They’re pretty cheap (you can buy them without paying gold) and yes, they expire in four hours. Basically, everyone will have a chance to get in the spirit of the season. To that effect, these weapons have auto-scaling stats but you can’t transmute them. For those of you who want to stay “festive” all year round, you’ll have to delve in the content and put the weapons together.
So, you can either rent the skins, or craft them permanently? Or do you pay the crafting materials to rent them temporarily?
