Warrior: How to faceroll Liadri

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

It took me 27 attempts before I realized something that made this fight really easy. The one shot aoe circles always spawn in the exact same order. In P2 you can stand on the edge of the safe zone and just walk back and forth as the side right next to it becomes the new safe zone. Killed her easily after that.

I wish that they did not cost tickets, makes learning fights through practice very very expensive.

[Sollution] Condition Stacking & Boons

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

The whole idea isn’t to buff condition damage from any single source but to allow multiple condition users to apply their damage. If 5 players attack a target with direct damage all of them deal 100% of their damage to the target. If 5 players attack the same target using only condition damage then only 1.5 of them actually deal any damage due to the bleed cap and the way poison and burning work. Nurvus is just trying to level the playing field by making both damage types viable.

Give Commanders a Guild Commander Option?

My guild has been wishing for guild commanders for a long time. We run multiple groups and it can get confusing keeping them organized with no commander icon as we don’t want to disrupt the rest of the maps forces by running one.

That is an interesting idea. If Arena.net has any qualms about allowing players to change classes at will then making them level 1 in the process would certainly eliminate those qualms. This could also have the bonus of allowing a race change and reset the personal story while getting to keep your wvw rank and legendary weapons.

Imagine new maps that would appear for a limited time and servers would fight over them using the same WvW point system. The winning server gets something unique like a trophy in their citadel. The mists is a breeding ground for interesting stories, they can literally do anything they want and it will make sense because its in the mists.

An option that can be toggled on and off would be fine. For party sized groups you will still be able to join each others instances. For guild wide groups I could see full underflow servers presenting the same problems overflow servers present now so an option to turn this off wouldn’t be a bad idea.

No living story deserves to be this hard

in Sky Pirates of Tyria

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

I spent a pretty substantial amount of time running the Aetherblade dungeon. The difficulty of the fights was fine (I’ve solo’d the laser golem boss and two manned Mai. No enrage timer on bosses makes most content trivial if you are patient). The duration of the event however should have been longer.

Two week long content just doesn’t seem like enough time for players to get to fully experience the dungeon content. A lot of players in the pugs I ran with had never even gotten past the first boss after a week of trying to run the dungeon.

Bad players exist and while I dislike that they never learn or improve their abilities (watching the boss fight when you are dead instead of alt tabbing to youtube is a GREAT way to learn the fight). I still think they deserve more time to clear the content. A month would seem to fitting for a decently difficult dungeon with some rather infuriating achievements attached.

Why does Anet let scammers happily play?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

In other games that supported player trading I would screenshot the player in question agreeing to the details of the trade (You agree to craft me this item in return for these materials and gold, etc). The very few times that people attempted to steal my stuff I just filed a ticket with the screenshot and got my items back a few days later.

Obviously Arena.net wants you to use the trading post but as Saturn.6591 mentioned Arena.net does state that “While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players.”

Scamming is a form of fraud so it’s against the rules.

yeah have to honestly say… this is one of the more terrible ideas i have seen.

While I had an interesting game mechanic idea for a different game where players could place bounties on other players head and pay out currency to people who returned with their ear. It really is just a terrible idea that allows people to grief other players endlessly and does not fit in this game at all.

Jumping Puzzles and Mesmer portals

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

I don’t understand why people are making a fuss over mesmer portals in JP’s, if you don’t want to use a portal, don’t use it, play the game the way you want to play it, its as simple as that. How would nerfing portals help you in any way? Increase the population in the JP to block your view of jumps? Comon now… People can choose the way they want to play the game, and some people are incapable of completing jump puzzles, so why make them suffer?

As someone who loves jump puzzles, i complete my jump puzzles normally, but sometimes i even get annoyed with not being able to make a jump, and when i’m pressed for time i don’t see why using a portal should be illegal.

Achivement Points.

in Bazaar of the Four Winds

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

I like the current system of dailies and monthlies giving achievement points. Why should I be punished just because I bought the game a few months earlier than someone else? If you are trying to level the playing field then new players would have to be given gold based off average wealth too or they would be far behind in that respect as well. It makes no sense to punish older players by taking away their rewards for their time investment.

Based on the requirements given to us by the devs for this achievement it must be bugged. I have completed the requirements on 4 separate occasions and have never gotten credit. In my last run I never even got hit by a single cannon shot nor took damage from any ground aoe during the cannon phase nor immediately after it. I’ve but an obscene number of hours into running this dungeon for this one achievement and this is costing me my sanity.

WvW NPC improvements

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

Basically allow the NPC kill squads sent out by camps, such as the centaurs or skritt, to actually take objectives. It would give incentive for players to keep these camps under control. Currently they don’t really seem to serve a purpose.

Players ignore the centaur camp and a series of dynamic events expire increasing the centaurs forces. Centaurs send out raiding parties which assault and attempt to take nearby supply camps. (This already happens but they just die to the guards.)

Take it a step further and have a series of dynamic events expire and the centaurs attack and attempt to take nearby towers.

Changes like this would have no effect on active WvW maps but they would create a more interesting battle field on some of the underpopulated worlds. NPC camps that belong to a server, such as the quaggans, would simply capture the camp for the server they are allied with.

The home instance was said to be the location of your personal housing when it is implemented. Since every person will have their own player home and will use the same area you can see the complications.

Make PvP players pay...

in Suggestions

Posted by: Spencer.1386

Spencer.1386

Currently, PvP players get 100% free trait/equipment…

So when a new meta comes out, in 5-10 mins, they can sort out there new builds and be back to playing what they love PvP…

PvE/WvW players face huge costs in gold/badges of honour/dungeon tokens/laurels to change builds/adapt to new meta, sometimes by the time we get it spot on the meta changes again.

ITS UNFAIR…

I think PvP players should start paying a gold cost for trait changes and 1 laurel per equipment changes. Then they would know how PvE & WvW players feel. Only when the pain is shared will you understand…

What is this I don’t even…
Why would Arena.Net charge gold costs in a game type that has no gold rewards. WvW has gold costs because foes drop loot and events grant gold. Spvp does not.

Dynamic Combat With Static Monsters

None of you played Guild Wars 1 did you. The AI in GW1 was amazing. Monsters fought as coordinated groups that used their abilities cooperatively. They actively avoided AOE effects and where challenging for most players. Players would form group comps with skill sets specifically designed to counter the mobs because they where so effective at killing players.

Spencer.1386

What would this accomplish. Down scaled characters are already ridiculously overpowered to the point where I can one shot mobs in lower level zones. Down-scaling is an amazing feature that allows high level players to play with low level players without completely destroying the sense of balance. Every friend who tried to play WoW with me either got power leveled by chain running dungeons or told to go quest by themselves. In this game I can actually play with them in level appropriate content.
