Yeah agree 100%, im in no way into RP but I bought the noble outfit and then the top hat item, I had not bought any outfits or clothing items from the gemstore before and was disgusted I had wasted all those gems tbh..

I considered pushing for a refund but meh prob too much effort.

I always make sure to do the Nahpui Quarter mission when it comes up for Zaishen Dailies; I get a lot of feathers from that mission, what with all the tengu.

Yeah I tried that mission but was not as effecient for me sadly..

I made all my plat farming feathers in jaya bluffs, with a rit/ele build you can solo easy, does not take long to do a full run and can get a stack per 2 rns easy, they did sell for 7-8k a stack at the time, but was real easy money for me.

Basically you kill anything with feathers on it..

I am with OP.

It is not that Anet have got in the april fools spirit that is the issue here.

Its the type of prank and its timing, highly unsensitive.

Sometimes there is a funny film due to be shown on the tv one week, but something tragic happens in real life that relates to the film in some way, the film gets rescheduled..

The joke is really poorly timed..

Server does not matter, only time you will find a grind is when you see an awesome skin you like on tp and realise it will take weeks/months of farming to get it.

[Suggestion] Award more money from events please

Posted by: Ricky Da Man.5064

Ricky Da Man.5064

5 to 10 silver would be great. getting less than 1 silver is really bad

If they did this, you would like it for about 10 minutes. After that, the prices would climb 5-10 times and you would STILL be unable to afford anything using event gold.

Most normal players cant afford alot of stuff on tp as it is anway, not everybody wants to farm 12 hrs a day or play the tp.

ESO brought me back to GW2

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ricky Da Man.5064

Ricky Da Man.5064

My problem with ESO is it sways too much to the MMO side..

The combat (while you can block and swing your sword etc) Is all about the skill bar, that is about as anti TES as it gets..

The whole game is level gated..

Entire zones are blocked off by quests..

NPC’s are static lifeless objects..

Enemies are static lifeless objects..

the zone layout is bad, you should have access to all of your alliance zones from the first starter zone..

Overall they gave a middle finger to the majority of normal TES players to appease the much smaller group of MMO loving TES players and the game suffered..

People wanted an elder scrolls game where you could adventure with a friend or 2, they went too far.

That is heritage armor, not legacy armor.

maybe because you’re not a TES player?

Pretty sure that I’ve spent more hours in the TES universe than most other games combined. If you try to whisper a character named Vivec in GW2, you’ll get me. No I’m just about as hardcore of a TES fan as it gets…

That being said, ESO doesn’t deserve to be called a TES game.

Yeah, I don’t think TES players would necessarily enjoy/like TESO, it’s just way too different from the other TES games because it’s an MMORPG.

Also, TES games were always about their mods that fundamentally change the game, I seriously doubt Skyrim would’ve been such a success without all those amazing mods. But since TESO is an online game, it must remain balanced, so there are no actual mods in the game (only UI “mods”/addons), therefore the highest selling point of a TES game is removed.

More recent TES games have sold heavily on consoles, infact they make pc sales look tiny.. you cannot mod on console.

i love ESO, the lore is interesting, the quests are dynamic, the world is alive all the time.
it even has a battle system that can be used by your self, unlike GW2 it’s not all autopilot.

it’s still to each their own but to say it’s a bad game shows ignorance, clearly there are plenty of ppl saying the exact same thing about GW2 and do like ESO.
i like both, GW2 for the fantasy settings and fast battles and ESO for the lush world and self control of battles.

if anything, GW2 is less what GW1 is while ESO is more so, based on player skill not time and gear.

I love Elder scrolls games and ESO is rubbish, skill bars dont belong in an elder scrolls game, AOE’s dont belong in an elder scrolls game, level gating content does not belong in an elder scrolls game. The world is so static its sad.

NPC’s do not have routines, lives they just stand there or walk back and forth..

In game inflation and gold sinks

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ricky Da Man.5064

Ricky Da Man.5064

Gold Sinks and the whole economy become flawed the moment you factor in Gem to Gold conversion.

You can have all the gold sinks in the world, when all it takes is a swipe of a credit card to get more the economy will suffer.

To post above ^^

You cannot honestly say some of the higher priced items are not that price because of gem to gold conversion.

I’d take a look into how the gem exchange works and why it hasn’t affected the economy..

It does not matter if gold is taken from one player and given to another, players will still pay a higher price because of how easy it is with gem to gold.

Foray's into 4k the Beautiful Sequel

I don’t know if I’d recommend downsampling in GW2. IMO the native supersampling AA is good enough. Here’s a very loose comparison:

1080p with SSAA:

http://i.imgur.com/L35drBC.jpg

4K downsampled:

http://i.imgur.com/qriHOEk.jpg

The difference is obviously there. If you take a look at the ropes of the windmill, they’re noticeably less jaggy in the 4K screenshot. However, this change makes FPS drop from stable 60 to unstable 30 on my GTX 760, makes the UI tiny and forces you to run the game in fullscreen instead of windowed fullscreen. It’s nice for taking screenshots, but less practical in action, unless you have a very powerful PC and a big monitor.

Fair play, am struggling to spot any difference in the screens..

Ok, so last time I played the frostgorge train was in full swing on deso.

Now I am looking around and struggling to find anywhere that makes gold as fast…

I heard about the silverwastes, but after an hour of trying to figure out what was where etc, I made 1 gold…

Anyone got any tips on how to make a solid gold income in game right now?

Why a paid expansion makes sense

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ricky Da Man.5064

Ricky Da Man.5064

This behavior make me incredibly angry. You paid 60 dollars once (I guess loudest screamers 20 in some sale) and you enjoying game for 2 years. I have over 5k hours played. And now you scream because you will pay a little bit more for massive expansion? Remember from gw1 those expansions had always content worth 2/3 of orginal game. Out there are 60 dollar games what you finish in 5 hours with overpriced DLCs what you finish in 20 minutes and yet you still complain about expansion what can bring you addional lets say 4k hours of fun? Dont be ridiculous..
Anet never had problem with splited playerbase they are competent and I am sure they will come with something innovative just trust them.

What I said in my original post is exactly how I think they should approach an expansion, If they do it that way I would be very happy, the company would profit massively.

Dont get me wrong, it would likely mean every single piece of content introduced would of been designed with how much they can stuff into the cash shop in mind.

Infact, It will likely be like paying to get exclusive access to the new store items!

My exact fear if the expansion is NOT paid. When their model is gem shop driven, you get gem shop centric content. If their model is based on selling a couple million boxes or digital downloads, the content itself becomes pivotal.

You mean like GW2 itself? Each and every one of us paid for the game, yet the content is always gem store driven. what would make an expansion different?

From a very basic economic standpoint, the higher the profit motive the higher the incentive to produce a good product. Paid content is more likely, in general, to be better content because of that corollary. My wallet is open and waiting ArenaNet.
