The LW story feels like it will disappoint

in Living World

I hope they take a break from killing dragons next season. Killing dragons isn’t really special anymore. I realize it seems weird, but I would like to take a backseat ride for an episode or season. Something like season 1 or the main story. Where we arnt really leading the charge, or were not really the single group of people who are saving the world, but supporting those who do, like the priory.

I kind of want to take a back seat and see the world grow, as opposed to the story needing to be written so that the player is the one driving the evolution of the world.

To be fair I thought that was a bad boss to teach that mechanic on. It should have just been a boss that only Aurene could damage, instead of a boss that only Aurene could damage AND a boss that refills his health.

Revive orbs in the LSE3 instances dont work

As title states. I used a revive orb when I was KO’ed by the abomination, behind the waterfall after getting the thaw elixer. I was given the option under the menu that said ‘restart from checkpoint’ and ‘exit’. It did not work, and used a revive orb. The menu option then became greyed out

Im finding instances to be very frustrating. I have died 3+ times on the abomination solo because I was hit by his huge, fast AOE before i could dodge.
A lot of the fighting mechanincs are not well teligraphed, again the abomination losing his daze meter and riving aroound looks like thats the time to do damage. At least it is with other bosses and champs. But it turns out thats when you need to get away and heal.
A lot of the instances are near unbeatable for me, as a randomly speced mezmar. And when they are beatable they take way too much time then they should. Its really putting me off and I doubt im going to be able to finish this LS update.
I do like the map, and its amazing the amount of polish in it. Its just the instances are ether bugged or unbalanced for solo play.

Will You Be Playing GW2 Less Post Patch ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neumonics.4603

Neumonics.4603

For now, yes, I was into the Living story, mostly because i felt they were really unique ways to use the old mmo design systems, also i think they were very cool social interactions, for my non-social self. Such as the darwinisum of learning how to beat the marionet, learnining what strategy was the strongest, and which one sucked.

Untill that stuff starts again, im waiting.

Game Updates: Traits

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neumonics.4603

Neumonics.4603

New trait system fine what ever, i havent played with it and i am willing to give it a shot, But what really put me off was that when I logged in i found that not only was my level 57 mezmar not able to level to master, but the 10 gold i spent on the book went to waste.

The least i could have gotten was a master skill book in my inventory for later use.

No Holy Trinity = Boring?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neumonics.4603

Neumonics.4603

I dont like this idea at all, your only real argument for the ‘’holy trinity’’ is getting people adicted to GW2. and infact, not having the holy trinity is why i play GW2.

Perhaps if they created 3 more classes who are just devoted to those rolls, but as it stands , no. I disagree.

Why didn't they remove warp costs too?

I dont mind the fee, but i do think its odd.

Please don't make traits start at 30

Posted by: Neumonics.4603

Neumonics.4603

I agree, the reason why i get to about level 60 and start a new chair is because its slow, but the reason i even got to level 60 in the first place was because level 1-60 was rewarding and fun.

Compacting that, and moving it to the later area isnt the best idea.

I think if they wanted to do this they should have given us more skills, perhaps 2 skill points at 30, and then extended the skill tree. as opposed to just killing the customization at lower levels.

Interesting community reactions

To me its a QoL change.

Its the same as it was before requiring a transmutation crystal to use a skin.
But now it is easier to preview these skins and apply them.
There is now also a use for the stack of transmutation shards(yellow ones) I had lying around.
You can apply the skin of a current item that might cost 20gc on multiple items for the cost of crystals that you might already have. (Eg, Lord T’s sword)

~ It is a QoL change with the advantage of gaining nice skins that are already on your current toons without having to buy a new item

I was happy before and am still happy.

Yah, This is the way i see it too.

Am I perinoid, yes, thats why i came here, to see how the community is reacting. And it seams like its not going to be that big of a deal.

I also think that those ‘happy’ people. Stop posting, or keep posting, and arguing, and then get seeded with doubt. And once a seed of doubt has been planted, it grows.

The only thing im kinda worried about is dyes being removed from drops, especialy with all the bad dyes out there, i would hate to buy 50 carrots and 100 potatos 100 times to craft the one die i really want.

GuestGate: the new LS Meta

How would you solve it? also, Why not guest to another server? Why always blackgate? The only reason its always populated is because people always think its populated, so people go there to find people, Its a catch 22.

Honestly, I think Scarlet is a dragon, I think the salvari went into Omadds box, and Scarlet, the dragon came out.

Impending Character Death

Posted by: Neumonics.4603

Neumonics.4603

My theory: In her layer ( Bat cave ) She had a map with 4 arrows, I imagine she will attack in 4 directions and our hero will split into 4 teams to head her off, around lions arch. The 4 ways into and out of lions arch.

At some point, probably tward the end of the patch, one of the weaker sides will lose, and that sides heros will probably get the ’’bad’’ ending.

Scarlet will invade and release the Dragon buried under LA, and the dragon consciousness who switched bodies with the real scarlet when she went into oMadds box will return into the dragon and we will get a dragon who fights us in LA.

We kill the dragon, and lose herose, Hopefuly get a wedding, and a few more heroes.

At least thats what i would do.

@gambit, You can not assume they had days of trying, perhaps it was their first time trying. And if people are blaming others for doing a ‘’bad job’’ then yes, i will call them out for being a**es.

First let me say that I love the story in guild wars more then anyother mmo. it has a great amount of stupidity and seriousness.

You have short plots, like Ho-Ho-tron, that pop up once in a while, and you have longer, multi-episode plots that i still have no clue whats going on, and I love that, its very LOST-ish. Thats what i used to love about TV until it started treating me like an idiot.

Infact thats one of the reason i love Marjory’s and Kasmeer’s story line, it started very subtley, as a lot of GW2 plots do.

Guild Wars 2 is very well written, but one of the problems I have, as stated, is that it depends a lot on how much you interact with the charactures.

Such as, I find Scarlet very unrelatable, I think they are trying to fix that this update, but the only real time you ever get to see her is when she says her monolouge before she kills you. Not a lot of time for characture building.

I, personally do not have a problem with people telling people about the wiki, but i also understand that, for some people it is more fun to figure it out for themselves.

I just did that now, and, while i agree that from the time that it started the tone has been getting worse. I think that is because people are learning how to do it, and when they learn how to do it they think that knowledge gives them a right to be mean.

It dosent. In fact that is the least helpful way to make people learn. The most helpful way is not to tell people they are bad, but to tell people how they can improve.

So the wiki think i think is fine. The blame is not, and I have just been adding anyone who has a negitive attitude to my block list. Then i just end up with a chat full of
“Nice trys.”
and “GL” again, EB, even in the worst of times is pretty nice. People who will call out people who are just ’’kittens’’ as one might say.

I agree, one of the reasons i really liked the secret world. It was a thinking mans MMO. With missions that included being dead to finish, and ‘treasure hunt’ type missions where you have to search the world using riddles. I really enjoyed that aspect.

I also enjoyed the hint they left in Scarlets Diary.

I do like the multiple people fighting on seperate platforms, increasing the tension. But I agree, there is no real reason to hang around aside from filling out the map, and clicking the towers every 4-7 minuets. But even farming for toxic spores was more fun because it was fighting, or looking for something. All through out sitting there the whole map was trying to think of a way to cercomvent the tower, by combining our inventory, or by calling out and warping to eachother, all of witch would really be cool, fun ways to build community. But later did we find out that it was just for the instance. And now im just loged out for an hour till the boss spawns.

Anybody know the release time?

This is one thing I wish was ‘fixed’ and I imagen one of the reason it never is is because there are so many other, bigger things to work on, but even on games with launchers that have maintnence updates, it is always posted in a single timezone, and I think it would be pretty easy to update it to a users timezone, even if they had to pick one.

Without it, even if they do have that information i am still alt tabbing out to convert pst to est.

None the less, its a great sign that a year later I still cant wait for the new update, CURSE YOU GUILD WARS.

From a coding perspective, Idealy it should be easy to just point the item to a different item, at least for the time being, or just fix the pointer.
But nothing is ever Ideal, Things like this happen. I can take a break.

The whole Idea of ’’servers’’ is pretty dumb when you have ‘overflows’ and instances.
