Death of daily rooms

Sharen Graves.1276

The vocal minority PVP “pro’s” wanted PVE’rs out of PVP to get daily.
Anet listens to vocal minority, over nerfs or over buffs- par for the course.
Instead of removing them in ranked games that the vocal minority QQ about.
Daily rooms are sadly collateral damage.

Balance
Too few Balance updates
HoT power creep. Clearly Elite specs are not side grades like they said.
lack of build diversity
Class Stacking
too much focus on Esports ( this is an old gripe of mine)
over nerf to end game rewards but tomes of knowledge are left alone.
No build templates

WvW Poll: Next Project Priority (Closed)

in WvW

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

This poll is loaded and mute as soon as it says more loot.

option1) No matter what you attached to the poll the one that has more loot is always going to win. It like asking if you want to keep the current system or add multimap looting like you have in AB. No one voted for this because it had clean up or or improvements. (not saying not one person did but majority read
“more loot that’s what I want”) This is also going to promote Ktrain and blobs.

option 2) Higher pop server in t1/t2 don’t want this system and have the majority of the WvW players. So it’s not going to get voted for. I mean having movement would be great.

The poll should have ask if players would like:

option 1) a 1 up 1 down system with a short explanation
option 2) Glicko scoring adjusting with a short explanation

Scuffy 2.0 will resemble MOX if not MOX himself from GW1. Zinn founded Rata Novus and that where Taimi is holding out. If not the story will tie into the research that Zinn did after being banished from Asuran lands (because he was a golemancer) she found it and improved on the design.

Seriously: Just play DH

in PvP

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

The DH does need to be turned down a bit. The low skill level is so bad you can spot it a mile away. TRAP TRAP TRAP.. AA..invul…invul.. block..block.. TRAP TRAP TRAP. stomp. I think if they remove the stun and increase the CD.

Or have the CD start when the trap is triggered. Doing this will affect all the traps in the game but it will prevent trap spammers and will promote smarter play.

But then again its it anet so an over nerf and removing of an amulet will probably be the out come.

Then it will be on the the next class thats OP plz nerf.

Sharen Graves.1276

1) yes please

2) Dont reset MMR. New players should start at the lowest MMR

3)2500 really? that’s a bit much but see your point

4)no solo Q. without it this is what we get.

5) will increase Que times and trolls.

6)legendary back piece not good enough

7)If they remove the cant lose tiers the division will show skill

8) agreed, individuals MMR, team average MMR, and parties need to be shown before the match starts.

9) repeat of 8

10) I don’t think they want us to have it because then we( the players) will have proof that somethings broken.

add my own here

11) remove the forced 50/50

S3 Matchmaking Ideas

in PvP

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

I say keep it simple.
Remove the MMR in Ranked.
Remove cannot lose tiers in Emerald and Sapphire.
Match making via division and tiers and pip range.

i.e You are T2 Ruby and que up. It will try to match you with 9 others in T2 ruby (5 pips). After say 30 sec it broadens the search 1 pip each side. So the search will be last pip T1, all T2, first pip T3 ruby. (7 pips) and every 30 sec it will broaden the search 1 pip each side until 10 are found.

Your Top 5 Suggestions to ANET sPvP

in PvP

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

1) Nerf Elite specs put in line with core specs. They where supposed to be a choice elite spec or core. With your power creep its not a choice if you want to be competitive.
2)Split PVP and PVE
3)Put the removed amulets back in and let us actually have build diversity. This would mean you would have to actually balance skill/traits/amulets.
4)Bi-weekly balance to said traits/skills/amulets.
5) STOP MAKING BIG CHANGES TO THE BALANCE. Every time you “balance” you swing the pendulum the complete other side. zerk to bunker ..bunker back to zerk.

Update on 4-Stat Amulet Changes

crusader amulet was really fine.

i demand a replacement !

maybe

1050 power
1050 toughness
560 precision
560 ferocity

call it templar amulet perhaps. a variant of marauder and paladin

It has toughness they don’t want any toughness in pvp.. They want high damage esport play. I mean gotta keep those 500 people happy on twitch.

Changes to Amulets for Season 2

in PvP

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

Oh joy….the bursty meta is going to be so much more fun. rolls eyes

I mean exact same kind of meta than the last one where no one dies and the first to capture a point wins.

Quaggan knows we don’t want a bursty meta or a bunker meta. Both are not fun at all. Removing amulet(s) (again) is a lazy way of doing something like oh lets say balance traits and specs. The main reason people went tanky is because of the power creep that has not been addressed. Why because esports.

Removing of this amulet is yet again removing builds. At this point they might as will just remove all the amulets and just leave Marauder and Viper.

The Nuke Meta

in PvP

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

The nuke meta may be fun to watch in tournaments, but it is not fun to be on the end of it. Especially as there is no solo queue. It is horrible facing premades, being focused down in seconds. This only leads to casual or new players giving up on PVP.

Surely we want to encourage more players, not put people off PVP altogether……..

This right here. This change is to keep the whole 1200 people watching the same 4 teams on twitch while kittening over the thousands.

And the claim that they have seen a growth in pvp over the last year and a half is true. But mainly because the lack of content in that same time span. PvP was the last area many people tried and with bunker builds it game them a chance to learn. But with the one shot meta coming they are leaving.

Upcoming Changes to PvP Runes/Sigils/Amulets

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

As usual over compensation. The balance in this game has been nothing but a one legged table. From one extreme to the other. yes more power creep that’s whats needed.

Elite specs > Core specs. Lord knows we don’t want core specs actually able to compete.

High risk more reward > play how you want

back to grinding pve.

[Feedback/Discussion] Fractals of the Mists

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

I agree with this and so do a lot of people lets start putting ideas on the table. Like a player run CDI.

1) and 2) Yes change the mechanics. Like you said some high toughness but low vitality, were as others have low toughness and high vitality. You can also have the some bosses have a high Condi with lower CD we the players have to worry about condi clear. Another would be a boss that has a high healing where you have to bust down the break bar to interupt the heal.

I agree the daily needs looked at too. Fractal daily needs to count toward your account daily like they did. As it is now I have to run the account daily to get any AP and then do my fractal daily. Depends on how PVP goes by the time I get to fractals it’s late and can’t help any guild mates with things. Moving them back into the account daily you will have covered all game types the players are interested in. (PvE, PvP, WvW, Fractels.)

3) I think the daily format in fine the way it is. 2 Recommended Fractel- Scale “X” and the run 3 Adept/Journeyman/Master. I agree with you the players are going to be picking the same ones to get it done faster. So I would make those three random for that given fractal range. So if the player decides to do Journeyman he could end up running a 21,34, and 45 but the next day end up running a 29, 37 and 50. If they add the Fractals back into account daily (see above) the players would run the 2 run scale “x” and then choose 1 of the Adept/Journeyman/Master. This would keep it interesting and not have any advantage over the other game types for dailies.

4) Rewards- The bane of every game. For me the rewards are at a good point for what fractals are now. For the same reasons you pointed out and what’s wrong with the fractals. Just long and boring fights without any real challenge. So Anet philosophy of high risk high reward is still good here. It just the 51+ are time > risk.
Now if they go back and look at the Queen’s Gauntlet with the Gambits. That was a good system. The more Gambits the more reward. That is a system they need to look at for fractals, but use the mist locks instead. Add this by 1) adding Fractal Mastery 5 for a player to choose 1,2,3,4,5 mistlocks to your fractal. Or reserve adding mist locks to lvl 75+. But the point will be the more mistlocks the more reward. That follows Anet philosophy of high risk high reward.
Changing some of the fight mechanics and having the ability to add mist locks. A guild can use them as training rooms for 5 man parties to use against raids. (Something like) Hey guys Raid Boss Monkey King has this same type mechanic as level 77 Mossman with x,y,z mistlock. Lets go practice our team comp.

Ok getting of soap box. To many ideas in my head. Over all Fractals have a good base to start building them up.

(1) The pumpkin head Moa in the preview image, how to get?
(2) what is the Gyve of Madness and how to get?
(3) Are all of the materials to make Night Fury in game?
Will Anet just go ahead and tell us the recipe so rumor mongers can stop ripping players off?

(4) What’s in the Mystic Chests? Are these the same mystic chests that dropped in 2012, dropping mostly junk but also materials for a mystic forge conduit?
(5) Are there recipes to craft the new weapons (there should be)

1) Out of TOT bags or buy on TP
2) Not in game yet
3) Still dont know yet
4) This is an item sink. With the price of leather and the RNG is get the items. Just sell the leather on the TP and buy the conduit
5) Nope AFAIK. Out of TOT bags or buy on TP

Deadly Betties is a softcore international guild comprised of adults who don’t act their age. We’re a lovable group of snarky individuals who enjoy discussing Gaming news, laughing at YouTube videos, poking fun at one another, and trolling (good kinds) new members. While we do get a kick out of behaving like kittenes we do take many things seriously. We have huge hopes of having a positive influence on the Gaming community. We’re also fairly serious about completing missions, quests, and things of the like without too many “kitten-kitten ” moments—-but we will laugh it up when we do screw up. We are PvX and have members that do it all. Even have one of those cray ones that play the TP.
Deadly Betties does not require you to be Meta. GW2 is made to play your build how you like and we support that in our members. Plus it’s fun to try out builds because they are fun.
We view Gaming as an opportunity to have fun and unwind after a long day. We will never treat a game as though it is more important than real life. We actually encourage members to do what makes them happiest and if that means personal time away from the keyboard, then by all means do it. With that in mind. If you are a college student and we know finals are coming up. We will ask how they went. If you have kid/s and they get sick we will ask how they are doing. That’s just how we are. We like to see ourselves as a small family than be a large guild.

Amulet restrictions is Meh. Should let any amulet to be used and have a (x) min fight limit. After the limit then implement restrictions. But this will be nothing but a burst fest and who has the better ping. At least let them use Carrion as an alternate for the Condi builds.

Also restricting the Mesmer so they cant inves and reset the fight. But nothing to the Thief.

Pushy Guild Representation - Right or Wrong?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sharen Graves.1276

Sharen Graves.1276

Anet allows you to join up to 5 guilds. Guilds that require 100% representation get no interest from me. In my opinion, you should represent a guild when you are participating in guild events. If you are on your own time it should be up to you.

But the real problem with the OP is not knowing that the guild would require 100% rep.

That’s how I run my guild. I would rather you find at least someone to do things with than waiting around.
