Unidentified gear

I don’t know if anybody brought this up yet, but I find it very annoying that you have to put Unidentified Gear into invis-bags so they don’t get slavaged when you try to “Salvage All”…

Major Concern- Mounts and "motion sickness"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Rabe.2456

I suffer from motion sickness myself, but thankfully had not any issues with the mounts yet. I recommend setting the camera as far back as possible and always control it by holding down the right mouse button.

I contacted customer support the day the patch went live but did not get any response (or compensation) yet. Did the list not include any people that played on the old version while the patched version was live already? We killed Slothasaur but did not get any loot that day.

Vengeful Hammer issues

So it’s probably known that this skill deactivates randomly (presumably when there are obstacles in the way), but it can even disconnect from the player character.

Proof in this video.

I’m really sorry to say this, but I found the presentation of this LS episode abyssmal. There is a lot of important lore happening every few seconds but I feel like a big part of the GW universe was just butchered in less than an hour. The main reason I like to play the game these days is to explore the world and dig into the lore stuff – but now I feel like I can’t really take it serious any more.

The new map is pretty nice though, thanks for that – grappling hook is great!

Ominous little clouds in the sky

Did anybody notice these four little clouds everywhere around at least Frostgorge Sound and Bitterfrost Frontier? I saw them above the Ridgerock Camp and Ice Floe Waypoints, the ones in the screenshot are above the Maw of Corruption PoI. What could they mean?

One correction to the map, the one in NW Dredgehaunt is II-V not V-II

You are right, fixed it real quick.

Darnit, now I have to repair the body again :p, thanks for the update.
But may I ask where you found the map file?

I got it from the best gw2 dataminer around: http://blog.thatshaman.com/p/historical-guide.html.

You mean locations that the second device takes you? The class 2 rifts are not available yet the last that I heard.

Yes sorry, I meant to say the class 2 device, mb.

Dragon Stand Still Robs Players

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

That STILL does not address the fact that ANET has not created any sort of failsafe for when crashes DO happen to permit players who have disconnected for whatever reason, whether crash or network failure, to reconnect to the map they were on, and receive the rewards for which they had been working.

This definitly is an issue that should have been adressed even before the release of GW2, cause it has always been a pita.

Fen Event Conflict

in Living World

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

^ Agree on the problem, though my suggestion for a solution is to display a summary of running events at the right hand side of the UI, in some kind of summarised form.

So much yes! I suggest exposing ALL event timers and active events for the zone you are currently in inside a special UI popup window. I would also like to see a ‘track event’ button to see the progress and location (-> map marker).

Would also reduce the common map chat question: “any events?” :P

why did you remove hearts

I dislike the thought of Hearts coming back just from reading about it, but we’ll see how it works out.

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

Weren’t Hearts shoehorned in pretty late in development because they didn’t have enough events? They wanted players to stick around at one place long enough so they are more likely to encounter an event. I think the HoT system with outposts is a much better approach, as Hearts are tedious. Also Outposts and events tell story much better, wouldn’t you agree?

Bloodstone Crazed Creatures Event

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

Sooo… does anybody know what the indicator is that is supposed to show, if a creature has recently been killed in the map (as stated in the patch notes)? Cause I’ve just now been killing moas in Brisbane for 45 minutes straight, checking the scanner every few minutes to make sure it’s still up, but no crazed moa to be seen.

Bloodstone Fen is a really nice map when you just want to play for like half an hour and get the dailies done. I wish they’d done more with the areal skills, they’re really fun!

Rework Revenant Sword

in Revenant

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

I feel like the invulnerability for Unrelenting Assault should start as soon as you press the button. Especially if you are fighting against a group of more than two people the skill becomes practically useless. What definitly needs a fix is the issue with casting it on an enemy that’s close to an obstacle, where the skill just completely breaks and goes on cooldown.

Also I feel like Precision Strike shouldn’t even have multiple projectiles. They’re unreliable as is and deal too much damage on a single target imo.

Dragon's Stand is Awful

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

Dragon Stand was a nice experiment, and I actually enjoyed it the first few times I played the event, but I also see the problems with it. Also OP should stop whining and give some actual constructive criticism, so we might be able to see improvements in the future.

I think for maps like DS there should be some kind of ingame mechanic where you can queue up for the next cycle, or even start a new map once enough players signed up and accepted to start it.

EDIT: Regarding HPs and Vistas etc. There really shouldn’ t be any on this map, honestly.

If you look at it his way, nothing that allows someone to be carried by a good group has any prestige whatsoever, because you can never know if they did it legitimately or just threw gold at the problem until they got what they wanted.

Just like in real life.

DirectX 12 and HoT

Looking at my GPU using 100% of its ressources all the time, I don’t think DX12 would have any real impact at all. Maybe only on systems with really kitteny CPUs and bad RAM clocking.

A queue system with options to distinguish between “I want to explore” vs. “I want to complete map metas” would help. (Actually queuing up for a specific instance should’ve been in the game since megaserver release, but whatever right?)

If you have this differentiation of map types you could imagine putting stricter requirements in place, like gettin kicked out into an ‘Explore’-instance if you are not participating in the metas.

Edit: Also what about giving people a real interface to organise maps?

Anet never told people that it’s a cheap way, it’s a non RNG way to get precouser it doesn’t mean cheaper, easier or faster to get.

They just forgot to make it a FUN way. Anybody farming iron by coincidence?

That’s your opinion, for some people if they can’t get what they wanted for 1g in 5 minutes they will consider it not fun. If you don’t like time consuming and gold sink you shouldn’t be looking at legendary in the first place. They are not meant to be cheap or fast.

So you agree it’s not fun?

VB meta and you

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Rabe.2456

Rabe.2456

Apparently the majority of players still don’t know what a break bar is, or simply don’t care. I tend to think it’s the latter, reminding everyone of the Shatterer event, where no-freaking-body moves their kitten to take down the healing-crystals…
Imo the events should simply be impossible to complete if you can’t even time some CCs with a group. In my dreamworld, all those players who don’t care will never do the event again and VB becomes more fun to play. \o/

Edit: Thinking about it, the third possibility is that players simply don’t bring any CC at all. Bummer.

Anet’s goals for the story seem to include the eradication of all remaining GW1 lore, so I doubt it’s Evennia.
