Oh hello there!
First of all i would like to thank you for the first reply
Next i would like to say that i was trying to be constructive and pass my opinions and suggestions and potentially start a constructive debate and what you are doing is agressively trying to shut me down so don’t be offended if I seem to ignore 90% of your reply. What you suggest aren’t solutions. Instead you ask me to ignore the things that bother me when i’m simply trying to be constructive and contribute to making Guild Wars 2 a better game.
Yes I realize the curent “meta” might be working as intended. But that bothers me and I proposed a solution (I am not pushing it onto anyone again, just trying to be constructive).
My last point was a minor rant but that’s simply because i feel that someone that is maining a warrior gets better quality content than me, just because i chose to main a profession not mained by Colin… That is all.
You said “I can tell you’re the type…” and proceeded to act like you know what kind of person i am from a single forum post… I don’t usually do this but i’m bored right now so let me respond in kind:
I can tell you’re the type who mains warrior and likes swinging swords. I can tell you have alot of free time which allows you to do alot of mindless farming so RNG every now and then rewards you. I can tell you’re really excited about Berserk.
(I have limited time i can sped playing so i just wish to be reward when i try my best and when i’m not rewarded have that justified – AI: “you didn’t try hard enough thus your reward is smaller”)
– That is all
Hello all!
This is my first time posting on the official forums (or atleast creating my own thread) so please go easy on me and if the thread is inthe wrong place just move it
I did think about replying to a couple of threads over at GW2guru, but then i figured if i summarize some things and make a decent writeup the thread might get more attention on the official forums.
My ideas to bosses and combat in PVE in general and RNG and loot. I’ve been brainstorming for a while and i’ve seen people on different forums complain about the same things i’ve been noticing so…
Here are my ideas:
- RNG: Make boss chests from world bosses, dungeon boss chests and dungeon chests in general award players loot according to their investment in the event/dungeon. What i have in mind is implementing a system that somehow measures the contribution of each person involved in event/dungeon run (measure damage dealt, healing dealt, number of conditions/boons applied, number of downed players rezzed, defeated players rezzed etc. etc… quite some posibilities here) and when loot is awarded take each individuals contribution into account and increase chanses of them getting higher value loot. That way people that just AA Teq and don’t even bother with defense events may still get hoard, but their chances of getting it will be lower than for players that are madly running all over the place and assisting wherever they can. That way you could avoid complaints like these: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Cursed-RNG-Not-fun-anymore
I’ve also found myself in situations where i was doing high level fractals and at boss i basically soloed the boss from 30% to kill and the guy i rezzed 5 times and he still ends up dead is the one getting ascended gear while i don’t even get a ring… that doesn’t really feel rewarding and does not encourage me to play my best.
- Combat/bosses: What i mean by “combat” is really the current zerker meta which is all about getting a boss into a corner and DPSing it down as fast as possible. then when 4 people in the group die and I’m the one left standing i get ridiculed for not being zerker…
My idea here would be to reduce the health of bosses (mainly thinking dungeon bosses here) and then implement mechanics which make boss immune to damage (block, resistance, avoidance, ghost forms (AC p2) etc. Then create mechanics to remove those resistances. That way the boss fights can be much shorter than they are right now, but only when the mecanics are played correctly. That would give organised groups with a variety of builds an advantage over unorganised full damage groups.
A similar idea is suggested in this thread: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/95081-emphasizing-non-dps-roles-in-gw2/#entry2358636
I do believe that my concept is abit more flexible and more elaborate however I won’t get into too much detail now because i’d like to keep this as short as i can.
It’s just that lately i’ve found myself craving some WOW (even though i hate it andi made a promise to myself never to touch it again) solely for the mechanics and tactics in dungeons and raids. I love GW2 but i really don’t like seeing “full zerk, gearcheck” etc. stuff in LFG (yes as suggested by guildies I can form my own group and still have fun but that doesn’t change the fact that the current meta is broken – in my opinion atleast)
- Warrior: this is mroe of a general wondering than a suggestion… As someone who mains elementalist I feel that my main profession is being neglected or rather that warrior is being favored over it. Some time ago someone told me something along the lines of “Warrior is ANet’s baby” and at the time I didn’t think much of it. But after seeing this: http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=36349 (yes i know it’s unofoicial and it’s not that hard to make stuff like that up on your own but i wouldn’t be surprised if it really came to pass). What really bothers me the most here is the fact that warriors get a brand new skill type while other elite specializations so far hve only been getting an existing skill type previously inaccessible to them. I know I’d feel less cheated if warriors got traps, tricks … whatever really, and then the new skill type got introduced later with an update or something. It just makes me feel that someone who mains a warrior is getting a little bit more from the expansion than I am…
That’d be all from me for now. feel free to add your own thoughts. Hope i didn’t offend anyone, all credits for the articles in the links go to the original authors.
If you read everything till here i thank you immensely for your attention.
Cheers!
