PPS: Anyone interested in fast late night Arah runs?

You can always hit me up, if you learn how to oneshot!!!!!!

I’m afaraid I’m not good enough for learning to Oneshot(((

Did Arah Fullrun PuG tonight. Or atleast, I tryed to. 1hr 30 Minutes for 4+2, then I left after we managed to kill belka after a few horrible skip fails.
Best part was the thief laying a blackpowder field right inside like 10 spawned grubs from the previous fails. After p2 I leave, wishing them good luck…what happened then can be seen in the screenshots.

PS: I advertised as “no OS Lupi”, and I’m the guardian that “failed” the OS.
PPS: Anyone interested in fast late night Arah runs?

Today I read this in the lfg:
(well, can’t link image, see attachment)

I joined because I smelled a chance to play my heal guardian! But it turned out they were just playing berseker. Though I was disappointed, it became one of the fastest and most fun Arah runs I had. If you guys read this, Thanks for much fun!

Awesome. Good to know these Potions aren’t lost forever. Thanks for letting us know.

Happened to me, too. Lost around 12, I think. I switched to use them instantly now.
A sort of announcement would be great, so players know that they can disappear.

Thought it’s a month old, I’ll bump this. I have experienced similiar, but way odd things.
It mostly affects whirling wrath. Sometimes(sometimes, even more often), when hitting Whirling Wrath, the full animation goes out, but the skill does not activate. Instead, the skill gets activated for a brief moment, and then immidiatly interrupts without me doing anything to cause it. Then it is on the usual cooldown caused after interrupting a skill(3,5s?)
The animation still goes through. The full animation. I havn’t been able to replicate that problem on the dummys so far. Anyone experienced something similiar or has advice how not to get affected by it?

If you got some knowledge on how to work with 3D Models, you could extract them with a tool called 3D Ripper DX. I’m not sure how far this affects the third party software policy, as it should not interact with GW2 itself, but with the memory it uses. It returns a whole “3D Screenshot” for dx9 applications, and I know a lot of people used it in GW(1).

(If it’s not okay bringing such things up here, I apologise.)

Gedekran.1487:

I’ve gotten weapon mastery there on quite a few weapons, though I still need to finish off a few.

…and of course, again, you will only need them whenever you see people farming there. sigh I hope you won’t get far with it.

You’re claiming the player did nothing wrong. Don’t you think it’s wrong and bad player behaviour to come back to the overflow and kill the exact same bugs that the others did, allthough you had the opportunity to do it somewhere where it would have been way better?
What is the logic behind doing something at a worser location – besides harrassing other players?

Funny how it’s always the same people defending the farmers.

The point is the guy didn’t actually do anything wrong. He was killing monsters. So what if other people wanted to kill those monsters too? They should have been faster. This is exactly the point of the current system – and most players are content with it.

The CSR in question clearly prioritised the desires of the farmers over another player. That’s not fair or right, and it sets a precedent that can only negatively impact on the game.

Do you wish to play an MMO in which the only remaining players are farmers who log in every day just to mash 1, and log out as soon as they’ve made X amount of gold?

He didn’t priorise anyone. Not greatly. He moved the single person out to another overflow of the same map. Where he could persue his interests. If it was priorising, it was priorising the majority, not the farmers per se.

Theftwind.8976:

Two points I gathered from the reddit..

" Player was moved from the map and placed in a different instance of the map
Player attempted multiple times to zone back into this specific version of the map, "

Those two points, if true, tell me that the player was intent on grieving one group of people. His intent was not to farm as he could have done that in the instance he was moved to, his intent was not to progress a quest or story as again he could have finished that in the second instance. In that he made many attempts to get back to a specific instance where he could grief a specific group of people then he deserves what he got.

Thanks for emphasizing. Any normal player who knows the details should judge and think this way.

Also, somehow, this makes me sad. Sad that US gets such a great anti-bad-player-behaviour support – and EU is kept alone.For instance, there is a very bad spammer on the DR-Map(most likely the one with a lot of Drakkar Lake players) I always end up. Person keeps chatting about genoicde to people who use smilies, all sorts of racist propaganda and stuff and threats on players life. If anyone from ArenaNet US reads this. Please help! EU Support does nothing…this is happening for over 2 years now! ;(

tolunart.2095:

There’s a response from an Anet employee in the reddit thread. The player in question was moved away from the area and warned not to continue his behavior but deliberately disobeyed and went back to continue griefing. This was directly observed by an Anet GM and appropriate action was taken.

Whether you agree with them or not, when a GM specifically tells you “don’t do that,” don’t do that.

So if you were running along and saw, say, a group of moas and started killing them… and then an Anet CSR messaged you saying “please stop killing these moas” you’d stop?

What about if you were walking down the street and a police officer stopped you and asked to search you for no reason? Would you be okay with that too?

People who have power often abuse their power. Blindly following instructions isn’t a good thing. The player in question wasn’t doing anything wrong. Killing ANY monster in this game is completely fine. If that’s no longer the case, then that means players can be banned for (as I suggested earlier) logging onto a level 80 character and killing all the monsters in a starter-zone event before another player has time to tag. That level 80 is “griefing” the lowbies – but I’m sure most people here would agree that any monster is fair game…

The point is you can’t pick and choose when to apply rules, especially when the rules are “I just feel like banning you for ‘griefing’ because some greedy players whined about you.”

It was probably not stated clear enough. Said player was moved to his own overflow where he could farm the Lightning Bugs as long as he wanted.
He came back to the other overflow to interrupt the Balm farmers. He got warned again. His account got suspended.

The point here is that this player was doing this on intention, to keep the others from farming. Apparently his client language was english, but he refused to reply and explain himself to the said GM. He came back after he had been sent out of the area.
So…do you really think this player had honest, game-related intentions instead of just griefing?
In my opinion, the GM acted right and as he should have.
PS: In before someone comes up with slayer or weaponmaster achievements, keep in mind you don’t know what this player came for. And even if he came for those, doing the achievements there is always a single-player thing. Therefore, if the spot is blocked, he would have to find another anyway.

I love it, too. But! maybe one of the more active Developers in these forums hear us out and add back the removed parts of the body. I dobut it would cause that serious performance issues. Just the rest of the legs should also do the trick,unless you go underwater. And who does that, besides for the occasional renown heart heart or Honor of the Waves.

I suppose less work and less render time for something that can’t be seen from ‘normal’ gameplay view. If you’d take a close look at all other armors and outfit(With 3DXRipper for example), you’d see that almost all usually non visible parts of the bodymesh(or underlieing armor meshes) are cut out. Guess it follows the code: You can’t see it, you don’t have to build it. Just that it didn’t work out on that outfit all too good.

PS: It was on all original Guild Wars Skirt-like Armors, too. Best example were dervishes, male and female.

Syrcaid.8591:

Okay, which one of y’all did this? |8

Guess I got to confess. In my defense – it was too tempting not to!

Guess they are just at the very bottom on a very large to-do list. And I belive they won’t rise all too soon. I got a set of accessory with the Azurite Stats myself, but I guess I am one of very few players having them. And I doubt even less do or would want to use them.
Maybe they will come if there will ever be a shift in PvE Meta.

Yukito.9012:

Thanks Nia for letting me tag along. I’m happy to announce I have now completed this dungeon and and earned all but 2 of the achievs associated with it If anyone else would like to group up to help me with those two (the electric floor and foreman spur ones) feel free and I’d be more than happy to help you with achievs in return

You forgot to mention that you are suffering from “acute luck” by getting an aetherized nightmare weapon in your first run. Gratz on that. And all others:be warned!This player is extremely lucky! :>

Sarahfull.4930:

Aww. Ill see what I can do, are you on Na by any chance?
I have work in about 15min so I cant help just yet, although Ill see what I can conjuor up in about 4hrs time when I finish work.

Sarah

Assuming Na = North America, no. I’m in England and on the server Whiteside Ridge (will add this info to my opening post). I’m not expecting any immediate help, which is part of why I made this forum post. I hear this path can take upto 3-4 hours so it’d probably make things easier to arrange a date rather than just see who happens to currently be free.

Hey. We are going for a round of aetherpath in a few minutes. You’d be welcome to tag along. All we require is for you to pay attention to explanations and a full damage build(As we got our own support damagers).
If you can’t make it, it would be best to make yourself familiar with the path first. Videos – especially on the clockwork endboss – and gw2dungeons.net should help greatly!

Did I mention I love Mistforged Hero Weapons?

Wethospu.6437:

99% sure it’s about world bosses.

I was thinking the exact same.

Nevertheless, if there is raid contant, I hope there will be an alternative with fewer players. Leave us the choice, with how many people we’d like to go. Like in the Evon/Ellen Instances. That would be awesome.

Bloodstealer.5978:

This isn’t a new issue.. Coil was just another example of it… of course it takes time, which is why they should be taking tougher actions to dissuade those players that are going out and actively seeking events that are able to be exploited so unhealthily, whilst working on a gamewide solution.

Sure, it’s not a new problem. But imagine, a huge community behind you, all with forks and torched, just waiting for you to do a mistake. And they are constantly yelling “More Dungones!More Endgame!More Fractals!Better WvW!Better sPvP!FIXFIXFIX!More Content!More, better, wider,…”
Never forget how huge GW2 actually is. How much effort they are putting in communication now(It feels like half of the company is busy talking to players, and it’s still not enough^^). Give them time, a solution will come for sure.

Bloodstealer.5978:

Lol.. they chose yet again to fire fight the issue.. wonder where the next one will sprout up from.. watch this space!

+

I assume they are working on fixing the problem. But I suppose that takes a lot of time. You don’t have to forget that this game is very, very complex in it’s structure. There are many ideas to address this problem in the forums. And I suppose many more ideas on ArenaNet staff meetings. But you got to think these ideas through completely, then find a smart way to implement them, then test them.
Imo they would have to rework large parts of the Event system.And I think a year is probably a valid timespan in order to achieve such a good rework. Anything else could be flawed again – and abused again.

So, give them time and let them hotfix until then.

Tryxtr.6295:

Honest question:

If you’re trying to do an event, but for whatever reason you can’t, can’t you just go to a different overflow and try there? I’m not trying to take sides, or continue the pointless arguing that’s been going on for 6 pages. I just honestly want to know. This is the beauty of the megaserver. You can leave the map and come back in order to find one that lets you accomplish whatever you’re trying to accomplish.

Trying to visit a karma merchant in one of the temples in Orr? Keep zoning out and back in til you find one with the waypoint uncontested and the merchant up. I do it all the time.

Trying to complete a specific event but for some reason it’s not up? (ie Coil) Keep zoning out and back in til you find one where the zerg isn’t ruining it.

Trying to zerg farm an event (ie Coil) but you found an overflow where they’re completing the event? Keep zoning out and back in til you find an overflow where the zerg is failing the event.

Am I wrong in thinking that this is the easiest and most adult solution? Isn’t this an excellent use of the megaserver? Isn’t this easier than immediately turning to: “These players aren’t doing exactly what I want so I’m going to get upset until they stop” …?

For background:
– I wanted to complete the Coiled Watch event chain for achievements, so I found a map without a zerg
– I wanted to farm the event to see what it was like, so I found an overflow with a zerg on it

So simple.

Did you even read my post? Its impossible to do this now cause as soon as you find an empty map the game now forces you to find a non-empty one or you get put into one in a few minutes (not an hour like it says).

Hrm. i had similar problems maintaining my empty map. Dunno if it’s a bug, because when I leveld my thief, I had no problems with it. If you are on EU and trying to find an empty map, I’ll be glad to help you. Just PM me ingame
(Well, or probably not necessary anymore, update is incoming)

Gedekran.1487:

My point still stands. You should not get abused for wanting to complete an event.

I absolutely agree. You should not. But you also should not feel the need to complete an event just to make people mad.

As I’ve said before the event is being completed to help out people to complete their living story. Something you chose to ignore. No matter how much you try to twist it, that fact will not change.

I’m not twisting anything. It is a fact you complete it on one server, and them search for another to complete it. It is a fact that you are disrupting farms on purpose. If you really want to help. Choose 1 Server. Keep it farmfree. Taxi in people. Build contacts to farmers. Let them redirect people to you. Treat >everyone< with respect.

And Laurelinde, I couldn’t agree more with you.

It also hurts me to see the cause of helpin players being abused for deliberately taking other players fun.

Gedekran.1487:

…

And there is the problem I have with you. And probably many more. You can’t always do what you want, when you want. An MMO nowdays is a complex, social structure. A community. And as thus, it is based on compromises and patchworks every day. Whether it is which Heart or Event you do with friends, which dungeon you are going to play through, if you do decide between fractal or sPvP. If you play in a group – and nothing less is what it’s about, just that the group in GW2 is in size of thousands of players.

Allthough I agree that there is a lot of toxicity going around there, you of all should not deny that it is raised by those who want to do this Event now, now at this exact moment, on this exact server and nowhere or notime else. It is that stubbornness that brings flame and hate. Of course, lots of farmers are stubborn, too. I realised that when I was trying to keep a server free from farm. Nevertheless, almost all of these people are NOT bad people. They are ordinary players (I got to underline that again). I got a lot of friends doing Coiled Watch farm. I did it myself until I realised it’s really not worth it (At least too me, it’s helluva boring). And you said it yourself, some of these players are toxic. SOME. Not all. Why do you want to ‘punish’ all of them so badly?

Also, you say you are an adult. Is it really that adult to constantly seek out farmed servers and do the Events they are doing?To me, it doesn’t seem that way. There are enough unfarmed servers, allthough hard to find sometimes. There is the lfg tool that may help you find one. I just don’t get the full grasp of why you want to disrupt their farming so badly. It’s not helping, I am very sure of that. If you were to help others, you’d do it like I do.

And then again. I want to underline that we are all individual, human beings. And everyone, farming or not, deserves to be treated with respect. Even when some of these individuals do not do it all the time. Allthough it’s a game, everyone still has the same human rights, no?And you can’t loose these rights. No matter what you do. No matter how inhuman you may be. Which is my plea to you again. Treat them with the same respect you want to be treated. You don’t want to get flamed while doing the event, they don’t want to get their Event dileberatly disrupted. I hope you got the point.

It’s a sad state when wanting to complete an event for whatever reason marks you as a griefer. Though I guess it’s to be expected from the very people who are truly grieving others by up-scaling the event so it fails, shouting verbal abuse when their failing fails and then try to quantify the reasons one would want to complete an event as to be trolling. There should not be any such event in game where other players question the motives of another for wanting to complete it.

You keep repeating yourself.
And you didn’t answere my question, yet.

I saw no question, only a statement to incite.

As addition to the Dry Top
If you find a good group, you could(could, lot’s of effort) farm TA Aetherpath. There are usually 2-3 Aetherized Metal scraps per run. If you stop after the big group before Foreman Spur, you could complete it in round about 20 Minutes. Then disband and do again(As the subsequent rewards of doing a path aren’t really worth much).
Not sure how much this is affected by DR.
Also, do your daily CoE fullrun. But a little side note from my personal experience: After you got around 50 Charged Cores and a handful of Lodestones, they stop dropping for a while…

Good Luck farming your Lodestones!

warduke.1780:

Didn’t you see the screenshots in this very thread?

Those screenshots are taken by a player who deliberately instigates flame, hate and toxicity. I doubt he asked nicely if someone helps him get to an unfarmed server.
In before, if he answeres, it will be something like: “And now I got to find a specific server in order to complete an event? …[Random Phrase that ANet should fix that]”.

To me, it looked very much intentional. My guess is that they saw some players starting to artificially rise the price, as 1-2 Contracts dropped per day, tops. Buying them for 2k Gold, putting them back in at around 5k. Probably a message, a slap in the face, for all those trying to mess with GW2’s economy.^^’
PS: I bought mine for 1999g. Never was so happy before in Guild Wars 2. Thanks ArenaNet for giving me the chance to get this wonderful Item!

I like completing the event.

How many times do you need complete it? I don’t mean to make a personal attack but I do question why you are there if not to troll the farmers. I checked earlier and found a map within minutes that was not being farmed and had people doing the event to completion. So I think this thread a bit disingenuous.

So you are saying there’s now a limit to how many times a person can complete events in this game? Then what happens, get labeled a troll? There should not be any event in game where a person wanting to complete it, no matter how many times, should be labeled a troll such as you are trying to do right now with me. So no, I’ll keep completing it because completing events is fun at least to me.

No, there is not. But I suppose you do see yourself as a social individual, no?If not, don’t read further. If you see yourself as one, you should act as one. Let’s say you completed the event four or five times because you like to complete exactly that special events. Thats fine. But up to a certain pointer, as a social individual, you should realise you’re taking the others fun. And a game should never be about taking someone elses fun. That you’re doing that can be clearly seen on your screenshots.
So, now I ask you, how are solutions made? They are not made by a single faction pressing on their demands. They are made by compromises. So, what if you try and focus on finding a compromise between you doing the event and they doing the farm?Let’s say: They help you find an unfarmed server where you can do the event as much as you like. That would require both sides to put in some effort, but in the end, you can both do your stuff.

There should not be any compromise needed in order to complete an event. If taking the fun from people means completing an event, then Anet needs to rework that event when not completing it takes fun from me or others who need it for living story.

And until that happens, you will continue to wreak havoc and instigate flame? What does that make you any better from those who farm?
You are actively making them angry by your actions. And the “I want to complete the Event” is just an excuse. In my opinion, you’re just after rage. The rage of the farmers is your reward for doing the Event. Maybe another example might make you stop. Imagine this:
You’re randomly placed together with people for the challange. The challange is, for example, getting across a river. If you succeed, everyone will get 30$ Price money.
Then, a tall old guy and a much bigger guy with 2 guns come, right after you all tryed to start that challange, and offer everyone 200$ for not completing the challange. Under 1 Condition. Everyone agrees or those who disagree leave the team for the challange. Everyone agrees to the conditions – but you.
So, what would you do?Would you really take the chance from your teammates(After all, thats what they are, friends. Even if there is the one or other idiot)?Or would you rather give in for the good of all others?

What I am trying to make you understand is that ArenaNet won’t fix this before Tuesday. Probably Tuesday in 2 Weeks. Until then, we need compromises! And if you really would be so interested in just helping people – then help not only those who want to do Living Story, but also the farmers. They are no bad people. They are ordinary players who like the rare chance for lots of shiny loots. In the end we’re all human, no?And we should treat eachother as such, not as some monsters who just flame – as you are currently doing all the time in this thread. Thanks.

PS: If I offended you slightly, that was intentional to get your attention. If I offended you a lot, I sincerly aplogise. I just want to make you understand that what you currently do is just bad and wrong and does not help anyone.

That would require both sides to put in some effort, but in the end, you can both do your stuff.

Okay, so instead of further argueing, I am going to suggest a workaround for the time being. If this works, we might be able to keep this farm alive longer. Everyone would have Profit. I’d like to make a guild for Taxi-ing to unfarmed worlds. But in order to make this work, I’d need full cooperation of the main farming Guild on EU(which is…[FARM]).
So far, none of them reacted to my whispers or mapchat-writings. So if anyone would be so kind and ask them if they’d be interested. The concept would be:

We’d create a guild with people willing to taxi when they go afk/semi-afk or willing to help people find an unfarmed server. If someone has time, he/she represents. If an active farming commander finds somone wanting to do the Living Story, said person gets redirected to someone currently representing, who then can hopefully help.

I know, it’s a lot of effort with almost nothing in return, but I would like to see a more peaceful solution instead of constant flaming, blaming and harassment…

Gedekran.1487:

This time they insult another player trying to do the living story. Accused of being trolls, and the classic calls for mass reports. Now there’s a conspiracy of wanting to complete this event is because of bot farmers not wanting to cut into their profits or something. Some don’t understand others have motivations different than their own. Wondering why people would complete the event if it cuts into everyone’s profits.

As you are so eager to help people out. I have gotten a PM being asked to taxi those willing to do Living Story on US. Sadly, I play on EU.
So, if you are really not just there for creating bad atomosphere, why don’t you try helping on US? ;-)

In an effort to reduce the flaming and ‘toxicity’ I started searching for unfarmed megaservers, then offering a taxi for those wanting to finish their Living Story. Besides the usual problems(…getting Spamblocked by ArenaNets Filters), it worked nice. So I encourage everyone with some spare time to do the same, as a workaround until ArenaNet comes up with a change.

PS: To all thoses farmers. It would also be nice if you’d not abuse this ‘service’ by using the taxi and then declaring the not-farmed server as your new farmserver. Just…find another one!

E: As the spamfilter is more mighty than me, I’d appreciate any help. If you willing to do some good, PM me ingame to try and create another safe haven for those who want to do the Living Story =)

That’s so backwards.

Well, backwards or not, I could help a few people finishing their Living Story! To me, thats worth being “backwards”. Better than waiting – no – hoping that ArenaNet changes something soon.

In my opinion, the Aetherpath and the rewards are good as they are in the moment.
They reward those who take the challange and optimize their tactics with the chance at a rare weapon with a decent price(if they wish to sell them).
I’ve been running the path on a daily base now for a while, mostly half-random, and so far it took us never more than one hour, mostly ~35-40 Minutes.
Though this Dungeon is hard for the first time, it really get’s easier once you get the hang of the bosses and the Events(Like the Ooze puzzle).
Even if someone is a beginner in this path, it is easy to learn. But: Most players do not want to learn. They want to join in the party with no experience at all and then expect a fast run. But that’s not how it works. On my dailie runs, we’ve been rejecting a few players with this attitude.
What most people neglect to do is to make themselves familiar with the Dungeon Path before they try it. If players new to such paths would do this, they would have had less troubles beating it. And in fact, that is what I suggested to everyone by now.
This path really isn’t too hard, and it has been a lot fun to me the last weeks. The challange it brings every day when having another random player in the team, the hope of getting a rare Aetherized Nightmare Weapon one day, I would hate having changed to this Dungeon path. I like it as it is.

Not true! Returns two results.
Honestly, the search function was disabled to this current condition a few weeks after release. Either they don’t want us to search their board, want us to join Fan-Site Boards again or just want to hire more employees for board moderation. No matter what it is, I have no hope of this getting fixed before release of the next ArenaNet game…

Roughly Estimated. My hardware is brand new, worked fine so far. I’m almost done with DL’ing, and 3GB is quite precise.

I’m just downloading about 3 Gbyte. Why. Why? :/
The Wintersday stuff was only 300 Mbyte

Maybe because that “hotfix” patch is more than 1.5 Gbyte large.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but if you just stick together and run clockwise/counterclockwise with IMS, you avoid most damage by running and the rest by dodging.
Important for this is to have enough IMS and to gather up right before the barrage phase starts. Then all got to stick together. I did this a few times (also during AR times), also with randoms, and it always worked out the first/second try. I rarely needed more than two.
Playing Guardian as side note. (+Aegis).

Let us start a petition for a change…and to get our Robert back!

Hey all!
I honestly havn’t red much.
But I started searching Orr a little. My results are:

- The Megill-Event and the Maggots still reward a lot Heavy Bags. I soloed the event in around 10 Minutes without MF and got 10.

-Risen Spiders reward T6-Dust. And the drop rates are totally okay. I killed some here and there for random, and got the one and the other Pile of t6 Dust.

So, if people would start farming orr again, maybe prices will drop again soon.
