[Feedback] Latest Black Lion Chest changes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Using 1 slot for tot is very bad imo
also hate i need to type the name to delete the chests, i delete chests all the time and now will be annoying to have to type

While people are all over the trashes inside that Black Lion Chest aka rng box, all I know is that now I have to waste time to type Black Lion Chest to delete the thing that keeps clogging my inventory space for no reason.

I don’t care about rng box. Black Lion Chest is a worthless item that are not valuable in any way. Supply of that thing will never be lower than the demand. Whoever made this idiotic change, I hate you.

VB, Night Meta event to extreme?

One thing that absolutely makes me raging is the Day Cycle. It’s tedious, takes too long, and unrewarding.
Another thing is that all the effort can go down into the toilet if Night Cycle failed.
Difficulty is ok. Coordination is ok. The work to activate Night Cycle is NOT OKAY.
I just had an organized map that worked hard in Day cycle, but the Wyvern boss decided to troll everyone by spawn under the platform aka impossible to kill. We had to stuck at T3 forever.
That moment when I realized I’m an idiot and wasted 1 hour+ to end up with nothing, no words could possibly describe how angry I was. Kudos to people organizing, but I’m done with the Day cycle none sense.

Elite Specializations & Hero Point Feedback [Merged]

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

Hi, I feel the need to say something that is important in regard of the design of this HP requirements and Elite specialization combination/balance.

We are all casual here, and some people are fortunate enough to have a lot of playtime, but…

Please respect and put in consideration to people who have only a short limited amount of playtime.

Hero challenges are not all appropriate/viable for us. Some are solo-impossible, and there are times where we cannot get anyone to help. Some are blocked by high level of mastery. I spend an hour trying to locate the challenge location and get demolished by champion/found out I need tier 4 mastery in Verdant. I asked the map for help, but it was 3am PDT and no one replied, and it feels really bad.

Lets connect dots here: Elite specialization require 400pts right? So you made Hero challenges in jungle worth 10pts for that purpose, and because of it you think the difficulty should be higher. This concept is simply wrong to the bone.

What I want to suggest is to look at Elite specialization, Hero challenge, and its difficulty as a whole package in order to efficiently solve/balance the problem here. 400pts is simply unfriendly to people who like playing alts. IMO I think this game is revolve around people spending time playing with different professions. However, at this current rate I don’t think a short playtime would let me unlock even one elite specialization before Xmas or 2015.
I don’t have 100% old Tyria map completion, and I do not ever plan to tackle on it for HP.

Then there is Elite specialization unlock-progress-blocking trait problem. I spend my first 60pts to unlock new weapon, but it costs me an entire trait line just to enable it. Can’t I play with my new weapon first? Why does it have cost so much. In the beginning (core GW2), weapon skills and traits are separated, so why are we forced to tied them together? This really is counter intuitive, especially knowing HP being fairly challenging to obtain, and elite progression is slow enough due to the cost. There becomes little to no point in actually play the partially unlocked elite specialization.

One could argue that we were unlocking traits on our way to lvl80. However, all these challenges and monsters we have to deal with are all post lvl80 difficulties. Traits are what makes the professions powerful in post lvl80 contents, and that’s why I said there is little to no point in actually play the partially unlocked elite specialization because it feels like I’ve just nerf’d myself in order to play it.

I expect something to be done ASAP. I’m not happy about the current state. Please don’t repeat the same mistake as in NPE Trait Issues.

Game Updates: Traits

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Tken.1986

It’s like you’re asking us to offer suggestions about place settings and silverware while there’s a dead skunk in the middle of the dinner table.

What’s the most offensive trait unlock location? I find the trait system revamp in its entirety to be offensive. I don’t think it makes the game better in any way, shape, or form. I think it made the game worse. I think it takes all the fun out of trying different builds, which makes it something we have to get through to get to the ‘fun stuff’. I don’t think any tweaking or adjusting will help.

Please: just put it back the way it was.

I’m on the same page with him. I extremely hated this system. I know you guys will make it so that the majority of the players will accept this change in future, but I will stand on where I am. I will never accept this unlock system. You first give us all the traits, and we learn the function of each. Now you tell new people to go fetch them or buy them, and make them realize some of them aren’t even worth to unlock.
For new players, the easiest way to unlock traits is to ask vet players what traits are worthwhile. Basically, they don’t even need to learn now. It is just a brainless time-consuming activity.

In a simpler concept, it is like:

A brand product’s price increases (trait vs. trait post patch), so some customers will no longer purchase that brand. I am one of those customers.

I don’t care whatever reasons are behind this change. What was given shouldn’t be taken away.

OK, looks like paragraphs are too hard to understand. I’m going to demonstrate this trait unlock nonsense into simple conversation between veteran player and new player. New player is very casual, and play only on weekend for 3 hours each. He currently has 20g in his wallet.

Vet player: Hey what build are you running?

New player: oh, it’s 6/6/1/0/0

Vet: oh that old (blah) build. You should try the new 0/0/1/6/6 meta build. It’s really good!!

New: Ah ok, brb unlocking traits.

(ONE MONTH LATER)

New: yay, I finally got the traits for new meta!

Vet: Hey, long time no see. We are now playing 0/6/6/1/0. It’s newest meta build. You should try it! It’s amazing!

New: ………..How long did it took for you to unlock all traits T_T?

Vet: Oh, all of them were available and free to swap as we level before the feature pack.

New: ………..Sorry, I gotta go now cya later.

(New player uninstalls GW2)

I hope you can understand how bad all these are. The part that truly demolished the new player is knowing that he got ripped off by this change because he did not join the game earlier.

Game Updates: Guild World Events, Megaservers, WvW

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

Here’s my feedback report: Experiment have failed.

By experiment I mean the combination of Megaservers and World Boss encounter changes.
It’s totally not viable in this condition.

World Boss run literally died for me. The pre-events SHOULD NOT be allowed to activate while the boss spawn time IS OFF. For the past few days people continued to rush to complete the pre-event BEFORE the spawn time IS ON. Which lead to the event being finished BEFORE BOSS HAS ANY CHANCE TO SPAWN. Which mean boss is killed before he is born, and it counts as boss being killed, so try again 2hrs later (sigh…)

This mess on top of a megaserver, we cannot coordinate efficiently any more. Players from different servers have DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENTS TO ADAPT.

More on World Boss encounter changes:
there’s a 15 minute window between each world boss activation time, but please understand that there are bosses that can DIE WITHIN A MINUTE. I don’t want to afk for 15 minute after EVERY SINGLE WORLD BOSS.

To score them individually:
World Boss encounter changes: -1,000,000% (1000% unnecessary changes)
Megaserver: 50% (I like the idea, but there needs to be more adjustments)

I propose:
Remove World Boss encounter changes, this way megaserver could really stay for good, and people won’t blindly complete pre-events and ultimately stop boss from being spawn.

Engineer and rifle: Can we be cooler?

Like warrior. I mean skill animations. This thought had popped in my find whenever I see a warrior using rifle. They weld rifles like a boss while we engis….. (sorry, I don’t really know what to say here.)
Warrior’s Aimed Shot has a different animation that is the toon in kneel position when casting, but engi’s Blunderbuss is still the same animation as auto when casting the skill.

Oh and I just remebered Scarlet in the LA update: she is originally an engineer class, and she uses rifle LIKE A BOSS. (now I’m super jealous.)

Another thing that annoyed me for ages with rifle is that why does my toon have to yell every once awhile when attacking? Feels like he’s doing Taekwondo.

Anyone dislike rifle animation?

Hate money?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

or You hate giving them money?

Anet hate money? Seeing this made me frustrated. I think its the opposite. They need it.

People who spend gems to buy things should have the right to give opinion, BUT not everyone has the right to complain. People who convert gold to gem shouldn’t be complaining. You are basically obtaining things for free. It is the people who paid for the gems should be complaining. They give money in hope of getting better product and service. I know some people do not have the chance to farm gold 24/7, so they paid money. I am the type that do not enjoy gold farm or play trading post games. I am willing to pay money when Anet presents something I like.

I fear that gold to gem system will slowly ruin the game. As casual players who willing to paid money gradually decreasing and hardcore players farm gold to get everything they want, the company will slowly lose its financial support. That would then leads to unable to deliver quality content. Maybe I’m exaggerating, but I really don’t see gold to gem system as a good thing.

Assault Knights Created Contradiction

in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

…Between easy and difficult. Here’s why:

Easy part:
For a few classes, only auto attack is effective. Ex: engineer and necro. This fight is so easy that I don’t understand why people get killed. The boss stuns on every third attack, stop meleeing. Super easy to counter its AoE pull. Even if you got pulled, dodge right after the pull/stun and you will survive (I guarantee). So basically this fight is button pressing between 1 and V.

Difficult part:
It’s not really possible to take down any knight at all if there are less than 30 people fighting, which happens all the time in OF’s.

Stop blaming other players, plz

I probably prefer more towards what everyone calls a “casual content”. It is easy to do. It makes me happy. That simple.
My numbers from /age is so large that I don’t think anyone would call me a casual player.
I also enjoy the content that requires skillful play. Not all thought.

At first, I thought the marionette fight is actually decent, but after that I have encountered numerous failing. It just frustrated me to the bone and I Alt+F4 the game to cool my head down. I went over duly’s guide over and over and swear that I will beat those wardens. Yeah, the group and I did it on the platform, but all I see is other platforms wiped. Welp, nothing I can do…………….
The new designed encounter thought better than Tequatl, it still has plenty of flaws.
You can’t exactly call every players that made a mistake a bad or casual players. Many are hardcore players as well. Why do they whine like you guys then? Because they did their part at the best, but others failed their part, which are being labeled bad/casual players. You guys basically just insulted your family.

It’s not even any player’s fault anyway.
Please don’t blame other players, they are as angry as you guys too.

On the other hand, I’m still disappointed with the content designer. I think everyone should focus your anger at the platform encounter. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. “The disability to help other players…..” I thought this was an effort of the whole server. NO, actually we are counting on the few individuals to do the work. Oh and sickness debuff lol what a joke.
There will always be people who are pro, who are good, who are not good, who are…well…bad.

Yeah, the feeling of helpless sums up this update for me.
I’m also turning into a casual player due to the continuous disappointment.
Again, please don’t blame other players, they are as angry as you guys too. No one expected this kind of unforgiving content.

Consumables Nerf

If there’s something that caused so many problems, it should be deleted.
Now, this consumable will stay in game where probably only 1% of the players are going to use it. It feels like I work for 30min, but get pay with a 5min wage.
Yes, you are certain that the summoned creature can stay for 5min.
But I’m also very sure that it couldn’t survive for more than 1min.

Is this why necro minions are so weak and have a very long cool down?
Sounds like the game servers are in a very bad condition, so this kind of measure has to be taken.

How do you use A.E.D?

I know it’s not great. I just wanna know how are people dealing with this new healing skill. For me, things are getting worse.

1. Pop too early: wasted, heal very low.
2. Pop too late: that 1 second cast time is enough to kill me.
3. I cast it before I get the last hit, but 5 seconds already passed, mob’s attack missed. Then I heal too little and killed by the next hit.

The name A.E.D sounded so cool, but the reality is….

December 10th Balance update

Tken.1986

About Energized Armor and Blood Injection. Increased conversion from 5% to 7%.
To be honest, I am really curious about what make you guys decide to add extra 2%. I really still don’t see any point in investing in this kind of trait at all. In addition, this kind of change to me is like a filler only to make the list look better/longer.

Explosives IX – Accelerant packed turrets: I suggest redesign the trait to something else.
Even when playing with turret build, I would not go for this trait. This is one of the most questioned trait in my mind. With turret skills’s extremely LONG cool down. I would want my turret to stay alive as much as possible. Although the trait has nice knock back effect, still, doesn’t make sense with the super long cool down of turret skills.

Turrets: * of course, turrets needs the most adjustments.
The cost about the skills are far more than the benefits it can bring.
1. Super long cool down (maybe not rifle turret), brings down utility’s effeciency
2. Super squishy
3. Super weak raw damage

The Real Problem is Time

Time limit is only challenge there, if there is no time limit 10 ppl could just autoattack it and kill it eventually.

Indeed. I don’t expect time limit to be remove , and I don’t wish for that kind of lazy adjustment. But 15 minutes limit is really unfair for the players that can only play when majority of players are sleeping.

I didn’t know that the fairly easy Jormag have 30 minutes lol.
Time does not equal difficulty tho

The Real Problem is Time

in Tequatl Rising

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

The new Tequatl is on a whole new level compare to the other World Bosses.
Let’s assume that the other World Bosses are at a difficulty of level 1 to 3 while Tequatl is at level 10. At this point, things are still okay.
Then there’s Time Limit:
Every World Bosses now have a 15 minutes time limit until the event fail. Different bosses have different encounter with different base difficulty (include HP) to scale with. Apparently, we are expected to do level 10 content like level 1 to 3 content. Which is given only 15 minutes to do the event. To be honest, I would’ve really enjoy this event even if it has to take a good long 1 to 2 hours.
Who ever thought of this idea needs to think harder. In the long run, people rarely bothers with this event anymore. This will have a 99.9% chance being turn into Karka Queen Ver. 2. I am pretty sure if this event becomes like the permanent invasion event, I won’t bother because chance of winning ain’t gonna happen.
Time itself can be the issue:
There’s certain peak time for high, and low player population. This makes chance of winning even lower.
And there are other problems such as Overflows:
Being put into overflow pretty much determines that its going to fail.

I’m not saying time limit is all bad, but on this difficulty with the amount of time given is completely unreasonable.
However, the requirement for high player population is absolutely horrible.

Don't want "Party" as a requirement

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

THIS IS NOT ABOUT DUNGEON

Ever since the champ drop was introduced, I kept having this thought. One of the reasons that made me play GW2 was that I don’t need to worry about stealing someone’s mob. Partying with people is great, but I also like solo play especially in open world meta events. I like that feeling of freedom, and meet people eventually. GW2 has been very promising until the recent change.

I am really sick of lfg and lfm. Now you may say nobody force me to join, but please let me explain the disadvantages (I’m sure many of you noticed):

  1. If I don’t join a party, a lot of times I don’t even get any loot.
  2. 95% of the time, I enter in the middle of a champ fight, I don’ t get any loot.
  3. I already made sure I tag it, but still not enough damage to get any loot.
  4. Killed the champ, got gold medal for the event, and zero loot.

Zergs are everywhere. Sometimes the best I can do is to land 1 or 2 hits then the champ is dead. Really is somewhat frustrating. I don’t even do farming.
I remembered in one of the demo play, a dev stated that, “You don’t need to party with anyone else. Everyone at the event will count as a party.” or something similar to that.
So this part of the game happening right now isn’t the original Guild Wars 2 that I’ve been enjoying. I hope the designers of GW2 can understand this.

From the campaign info given, it’s possible they could make both.
Anyway, if I imagine when they add the new instance to FOTM and nothing else being changed at all everything being the same (yay, I got Underground Facility), I wonder how many are going to rage.
Finally, I hate FOTM.

There is nothing wrong. What the OP did was trying to encourage people to be nice.
But apparently, there will be people who put this waaaaaaaaaaaaay in their competitive heads.
You need to realize that people have different goals: get achievement, get the title, enjoy the race, or just loot chest.
Calm down and talk to others. If you don’t like current groups’ goals, just leave and rejoin another race. It’s that simple. I don’t get why some people have to talk bad about others.

But there’s one kind that is absolutely evil. Also mentioned in the above post: some pro-athlete join a friendly match. That’s not all: I encountered the one that refused to leave the friendly-match group, so everyone left in the end. It wasn’t nice at all, just kitten-bag move. Basically just taking advantage of nice people. Best of all when we ask why couldn’t he rejoin other race:

He replied, “I lose silver.” (dunno what to say)

This isn’t a permanent content, some of us won’t have forever luck to get to the first place.
If you think the title will be meaningless for you, well…… that’s just you. Just like someone whining about twilight being too common, a matter of time.
Don’t know what more I can say to make my point clearer.

This is what I think that’s going on:
Frist, using the Wintersday by putting items directly on gem store. They found out that the profit is lower than the RNG chests.

But if that was the case. They are stupid, and I hope not. Even though they sold it directly, but if I recall, they are not exactly attractive. I guess only a few actually bought it. I too was happy to know that they were available until I saw the actual thing.

Another possibility is that this is the 2nd test:
So they can compare it with the Wintersday patch. Though I don’t think they should be compare to each other. I mean, come on…………
Winter weapons vs. Fused weapons, really?

Future plans:
I have a feeling that they will likely be continued as RNG chest only items. Yes, awesome stuffs and skin are only available in BL chest. But to please those wanting to do direct purchase through gem store, they will put on two or three useless town cloth/minis once awhile. This is all too familiar with the Nexon MMO’s I’m playing. This is perhaps a trend in online gaming industry.

Since the ticket cannot be traded, fused weapons (and the ugly eye weapons) are count as “Priceless” items. Whether or not it has value is wholly depended on the individual. They cannot be artificially be judged through TP. So far the designs did not match my taste, so they had little to zero value.
RNG is RNG It will probably never get my attention.

Stealth and why it reduces depth and skill

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Tken.1986

Tken.1986

I generally hate to deal with thieves. Stealth is the main reason, but does not apply to mesmers. Stealth on mesmer to me is more of a defensive move. On the other hand, stealth on thief is just a pain. Its just annoying to even think about what to do next. They have Back Stab, and that’s what killed me 99% of the time when I’m alone.
*If I engage to fight, I lost my target every second
*If I run away and out of swiftness/invunl skills, I got Back Stab to death

Really don’t have much choice. I learned that (on certain profession) you can use AoE to immobilize/knockdown skill to try to counter stealth, but that’s not really a guaranteed method. Its just a chance to deal with it, and I still can’t see that thief.

I was really disappointed in Anet on this part. Many other old MMO had implemented some sort of skill to have the ability to cancel (like boon removal) or be immune to stealth.
I really don’t understand why instead of create a counter to the stealth, they continued to just N-E-R-F. I tried to play thief before, and like many mentioned, their core ability is stealth. I rather recreate this profession if I nerf the ability to a useless state.

I’d hesitantly echo this, depending on what happens next week. It seems that a lot of folks are betting on us hitting T6 or 7 (admittedly mostly through wild speculation), but statistically it seems that T4 is going to be about as far as we go. We’re currently operating with basically no dedicated WvW guilds. That is, we’re losing by a margin – but not hideously – in T3 solely on the strength of our PvX guilds and militia. We don’t really have any more to lose and we’re still not losing that badly.

Heya, stepping in here to take a look at a possible future opponent. SoS has actually fared worse against Yaks’ NA than Ehmry has. Going off of that, depending on how big your sea/oceanic presence is, you could end up anywhere from high t6 to low t4. If I were to guess, I would say SoS will mellow out in t5.

We still have one of the largest oceanic profiles of any server so yeah…. I highly doubt we will fall further than t4, like a previous poster said, our strength is based off militia now. you never know I guess.

Congratulations! You guys got the most oceanic presence. Keep emphasizing it and make yourself look like a winner.
So, like 99% of the accomplishments are done by oceanic presence right? or did I misread the bazillion posts in this thread? I almost felt really bad for those who have to play NA time in DB.
I hope Maguuma’s got some oceanic presence, otherwise have fun playing with doors^^

Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeease. Stop with the innocent talk. DB
For the past two weeks we have all play defense for most of the time.
You guys really don’t belong in this tier. WvW right now its a joke.
You got numbers, large numbers to jump the other two servers regardless of the time.
Neither impressive nor surprising, rather laughable.
This is the most unbalance match ever.
Talk about just having fun. If I have to play defense for yet another week. My sanity level will probably drop below zero.

Mega Boss loot changes

I don’t play Merchant.
Sounded like a Reasonable way to solve things. While many argues that the server guesting abuse still exist, I’d be surprised if they actually “fix” guesting.
It’s not so easy (or rather impossible) to change people’s behavior/action, there will always be a way around. Farmers will always be farmers, and you can’t really stop them from doing it.
I like this change. Set aside other things (AKA garbage loots, drop rates). Now, at least ANet has decided to do something to control those annoying farmer behaviors that have been preventing me to enjoy PVE since the dumb patch. I was never aiming at the chest loot. I went there to greet the World Boss and play with them. If I want loot, I go to FOTM. (sad but true)
Maybe this change will cause inflation blah blah, ecto price blah blah. This is another topic that’s not related to the change we’re talking about.
-Please refer to the “Depressing Drop Rate and Why do I get so many garbage loots?” section.
Even with the One Guaranteed Rare per chest. This Only One rare drives farmers so desperate that almost everyone can smell the desperation.
Don’t you think something is very wrong?
This is Sad, dear ArenaNet.

Yes, its lower than before. It’s so obvious it’s laughable now

About the chests from world events

Why? Why is it a daily thing now?

Meanwhile I still getting blues greens with ZERO rare.

Pointless.

I like to do the dragon event (dragons are cool), and I used to not really care about the Garbage Chests. Now, the chest is a one time thing. It just discourages me to even bother with the dragons anymore.

Graphic and performance quality-post patch

Today, I log in the game do to some dragon event. Not to mention the lag… I literally afk dps the shatterer, and FPS is 5 at the time. (My usual fps is around 45 before patch) More importantly, I’m not sure is just me or…, the graphic quality went down so badly that made me log off. When I zoom out I see my character pixelated like I was playing on my game boy…. I even had culling and lagging issue in LA.
Same old Nvidia and same old medium setting with FXAA, I have no idea wat in the world had happen to the game. The only thing I know is that I updated the driver to 314.07 yesterday.

I wish portal never exist in the first place

I love mesmer, but I hate being command by people around to portal this, portal that, blah blah…etc
I’ve always hated the swamp level in FOTM because some people just don’t even want to try running when mesmer is in the group. At least one will start commanding me to do this and that with portal. Among those commanders, at least one will not recognize When the portal is visible, and blame me for not laying down the portal for them while the portal is RIGHT THERE. Some will then call me stupid because I didn’t do it the way they want.

I always port the farthest person. I start by putting down the 1st portal at the destination then run to that person and port him while he grabs the thing. It works about 95% of the time.
This time I met a group where the commander wanted me to port all three people at one location. I kept trying, but it never worked. Either 1st portal past 60sec into cd or 2nd portal 10 sec duration ended. I was being asked why I did not put down portal while I keep explaining HOW PORTAL WORKS at the same time.

I’m not enjoying this.

Class Specific Gear Boxes

To me its kinda meaningless to get that box.

Armors are categorized by Light/Medium/Heavy.

They are not bounded by Professions except weapons…

Am I going to gamble chances that I’m going to get the weapons I don’t want?

Mesmer Skill 2 when downed: BIG Problem now

The Mesmer downed skill 2 I swear teleports you to a WORSE place, 100% of the time. If there is no worse place, it will teleport you to the SAME place.
O.

I know right lol SAME place!!!

The wp change is a good change, but what makes it the worse thing ever is the unbalanced dungeon fight encounters. If bosses did not have one/two hit attack, super wide range mutiple AoE, or super rapid attack; wp reszz wouldn’t even happen in the first place. They are just using the easy way out to try to solve the problem.
Another obvious meaning less change is the Nightmare Vines of TA for example.
Lets say:
Before: they spit 3 AoE’s with 5 damage each
After: they spit 5 AoE’s with 3 damage each
So even though the damage is tuned down, the fight just got more brutal.
3×5 = 5×3 = no change at all

Arah Explorable: Do it this way

I want to know the possibilities of completing Arah exp mode for every classes.
Here’s the rule: Maximum 2 Heavy classes

Please state the formation of your teammate’s classes, your class, and how many times you die (not down state)
Also is it pre-patch or post patch.

My best experience is with none heavy class, and we manage do finish Lupicus, and I think I died two times.

Just saw the “Phase 2” talk.
So right now, we are having a half-baked pie?
No wonder I kept throwing up.

What an excuse for the laziness…
