The Ridiculousness of Crafting Precs

Okey three things
I agree its not the best that certain events must fail to get the right thing done.
BUT
For the first event, if you log on after after a patch update all maps are reset. Sooo there is nothing to defend and therefore you can get your event. What I did when I needed a similar event done.
For teq, try getting on a map not full. Log off when started and back on, prob getting on different server with fewer ppl. Then easy to get it slow to 75%.

Hello all. Figured I might as well try here like so many others have! I have played since close to start, + 1 year break pretty fast as I didnt feel the game back then. Then started up again and until now. One of my newest trends is leveling alts, got now a 77 ranger who I want a sweet animal look for (name is Ann I Mal, clever I know).

What I hope is for some generous player to gift me those new hawk wings, as that would fit perfect for my new ranger animal look. As a 5. year student money is short, and used rest of my gold on getting that char slot for my ranger and new love for WvW. If anyone wanna gift me those wings, I will be a happy player

I feel you.

WoW might be a sub based game, but atleast you get geared by playing the game.

In GW2 you get geared by buying gems with real money and converting them to gold.

In 1000hours of playtime I haven´t had a single worthwhile drop.

If you really mean you cant get gold very easy without a big value item drop or buy gems, then you dont know how to play the game right. Or you are like most on the forums and just cry for no reason

Preorder only gave a small window into HoT.

It didn’t warn us that WvW would be decimated, dungeons abandoned, small guilds kicked to the curb, loot nerfed, etc, etc, etc

Just take a look at the quote on the purchase page! =)

Quote: “Experience combat on an epic scale in our new World vs. World’s Borderlands map.”

It’s curious that the wording is so specific. Has anyone seen anyone on the new maps? I think I saw three on at once… but it could be less epic, I guess.

Well, I guess it could be epic if there were enough people playing on it. Right now, it’s just epic in its emptiness.

OMG! I could totes write 10 posts about how epic a failure WvW is since HoT!

Remember MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online , it wasn’t designed to do things solo . P

This is so demonstrably untrue that I can’t even believe you actually said this in public. I could fill up 10 posts with evidence that huge sections of just about every MMO out there has solo content – and it was designed to be solo.

This statement is blatantly and embarrassingly false.

And HoT got alot of solo content. And it was designed as such. Still ppl get mad because there is some stuff not made for solo. There is both, and that is good.

And since you could fill up 10 posts with evidence AND you felt the need to mention that, I would like to see it. Thx in advance…

Pay me, and I will.

As long as you got my point and keep the bs about stuff you COULD do to yourself most of those things are bs

You have no idea what I’m capable of doing or not doing. Claiming you know what I can or can’t do is even more BS.

If you say you can do something (but dont do it) and then use that as reason for saying someone is wrong, that is bs (no caps needed btw). Saying you got proof for something but dont show it, its “insert nasty word”.

What solo content did HoT get?

I can think of two things off-hand. Adventures and more Living Story. That’s about it.

Apart from what U said; exploring, lots of the HPs (yes, many can easy be soloed when learned), many of the smaller events can be done solo, the problem is more often other ppl joining in if not on an empty map (which ppl say many of the maps are there days, funny).

Vs non solo bigger map events, harder HPs, raids. Is there really more thats not soloable?

Probably forgetting stuff, since I dont play everything HoT has offered. Just now trying the adventures. fun for now. Achievements too if you wanna go into details can much be done solo (ofc point wise I will give this one more to the non-soloable as get like 50 achievement for killing the mouth in DS), but you get my point here hopefully

To sum up, you can easily run the maps (DS will be exception as it is blocked by the events, not liking that either), and do most new stuff (HP, smaller events around, adventures) alone without needing others to do it. I am first now doing some bigger events after getting almost all maps done. Sweet AP

it takes 80+ hours of silverwastes chest farming in order to be able to experience the raid.

80 hours of non stop grind.

Let that sink in for a minute.

I call bs. Have you done the math? Then show us. Also, ascended for raid isnt necessary as been pointed out many times. Sure most ppl might say you must have it to join them, but that is not a valid reason to say you MUST farm for ascended. You dont HAVE TO farm silverwastes, and you dont HAVE TO have acended for raids.

Deal with it or go home

Silverwastes gives roughly 10g per hour (often times less). You also need to do the meta event to get keys so that adds to the time. A full set of ascended armor if you buy everything off the TP costs roughly 700-800g and you also have to level crafting.

I have tried literally every way of making gold and Silverwastes is still the most reliable way to earn a bit of gold. Doing the full DS event I make roughly 2-4g total if I sell everything and sell all the mats after the event. That´s 2-4g for an hour and a half of playing the game “normally”.

And you DO have to have ascended if you want to raid with pugs. First thing that gets asked now when you join a group is to ping your gear. You also need to be the right class (sorry thieves, no raiding for you) and have to have the right build.

I don´t want to raid with a guild because then you have to follow raid schedules etc… which makes the game feel more like work than an actual game.

Thats your math? Way to many variables, cant take you seriously with that.. And yes, lots of ppl ask for it. But not everyone, its not a must. But I dont care, I got my sets and you wont see reason just because I say something. Enjoy silverwastes

@senario
Oh yeah, there are many bad deals on the TP, some things I would never buy even tho I might want it. Price is just too bad. Still, many ppl buy bag slots at that price (yeah I dont get it either), and therefore why put the price down permanently? And those bundles, off. Not for me either. But again, ppl buy them so why not? I would think they got more money lowering as more would buy, but hard to know if not knowing number on how many actually buys them. They must give a lot of money so why change? If they didnt get much sales, then the price might come down. Before that time, why do that right?

For the advertising, dont get how that does anything. It simply tell its a possibility. “Hey guess what, you can get lots of sweet gold from trading gems”. Okey, cool. I dont want that but hey, not like they are forcing me right? Do you dislike advertising on tv same way?

They made a good game, now they need to pay their workers. And ppl want to buy stuff to support the company or because they want the stuff. Those who dont want, dont buy. Whats the problem? The fact is buying these things, like gold, isnt pay to win. Its just to look better or have things more convenient, that is all.

What really grinds my gears if the simple kitten fact Anet has not been selling char slots on discount in a long time, give me char slots plz

Too true! In Maguuma, it’s I swung my sword, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, I swung my sword again, come on… still not dead?

Followed by wait… I was full health and I dodged! How’d that Axemaster insta-down me?

lol that’s cause you’ve been doing nothing but swinging the sword, kinda need defensive skills sometimes :P

Well… if it’s the axemaster you’re talking about, I’ve tried jumping, dodging, blocking, gliding, reflecting… haven’t gone online in search of a way to stop being downed yet (because there has to be some way to figure it out in-game), but seriously… I don’t understand this mechanic. If he dropped us to 1 hp, I’d be able to cope. I built up my stacks and I guarded them jealously until he cheated…

Break his breakbar before he stealths. Then he can’t use that attack. It does require coordination. It helps if some people can see invisible foes too.

The weird thing to me is that it’s random; there’s no clear indication (that I know of) of why he chooses who he chooses, or why he can 1-shot a massive Norn guardian tank with ascended gear.

It’s not really random. He targets pretty much everyone. It’s a killing shot. The mechanic is to prevent him from doing it at all.

Oh? Because I’ve been in groups where ~10 are targeted and the rest revived us when we dropped. Revived one of my friends a couple of times from it as well.

I"m guessing he targets a large AOE and some people just happen to be outside of it. But the target is still just everyone in it. It doesn’t matter how tank you are. If you’re in that target area, you’re going to go down.

And you can stop the attack by breaking the bar. The idea is for that never to happen. That’s the mechanic.

I always figured it was a certain number of players who get tagged and downed? When I have played the boss, not everyone is ever tagged even though they were all stacked on him. So those tagged get downed if not break bar, then rest just quickly heal. And then he dies in a bit. So if it is a small group I would assume they all get tagged. S very easy with a lot of players, dont need to break bar, just wait until downed then heal and keep fighting.

On topic, salute to you Vayne. This forums can get me so annoyed with lots of, in my eyes, kittenbad complains. Then you try to explain and show them wrong. Keep it up!!

Odd, I’m making more Gold off mats than ever before. And exchanging that Gold for Gems as the rate has been more lucrative lately.

I guess the ‘fix’ was undesirable for dungeon-runners, but great for us lowly casual gatherers.

This would be quite right in my eyes. Just dungeons that lost, lots of mats cost more now and can get you a nice amount of gold. I sold lots of mats not needed, have more gold than I have ever had (still not too much, but a few hundred).

And like one said here, Anet is a business. Ofc they need to get money, dont think they made this game for you guys to get everything free and never use rl money for cool stuff and skins. Not that you really need to, as you dont need anything in gem store to play

For a last comment, Anet! Char slots, I want them!!

1) “Moving liquid rewards to other types of content” is the biggest bullkitten I’ve ever heard, dungeons weren’t even the biggest source of gold anyways.
If they really wanted to balance the economy, they would remove liquid rewards from SW.

2) Elomite is right in everything he says, and you kitten well know it, stop pretending he isn’t.

3) This community makes me cringe so hard

/inb4 infraction point for not blindly believing everything Anet devs say

1) Do you hear yourself? That is bullkitten and you know it, “wasnt even biggest source”. It was the biggest source for raw gold. Materials in SW is sold for existing gold, aka no more raw gold added. It is already made by someone. Dungeons got a huge amount of raw gold. Stop your kitten

I would also like to say that for any person complaining about “bad” players (i.e. people who are not good at this game or at video games), kindly keep your comments to yourself and stop being a tool.

I am hearing a bunch of whining from posters that are belittling other gamers and mad that people are voicing their opinions about something they like. I really don’t care if you’re good or terrible at this game, you shouldn’t have to be criticized for your opinions.

There is nothing wrong with not being good at a game. If you’re having fun, thats all that matters. People being bad at this game do not effect anything that happens (if you honestly think theres nothing you can do to just avoid bad players, you’re lazier than the “bad players” are for not “l2p”). Honestly, your skill level of a game does not qualify or disqualify your opinion.

If some players are struggling with the content and feel they can’t enjoy it, then some skill levels are not going to have enjoyment out of the game.

Jesus “dad”. What a keyboard warrior. Protector of the weak. Calling everyone tools, does it make you feel good? Keep your opinions for yourself if you only want people to agree with your points of view. Stop acting like a, your words, tool. And those last two sentences makes no sence.. How cant skills help if you are struggling?

His point is not invalid.
You got lucky, good for you. Me and many others didnt have this luck. This encounter can and will most of the time bug out horribly. I wouldnt say anything if i couldnt defeat him in 3 tries, 5 tries, hell not even at 10. But i have done this boss for many hours now and i couldnt beat him because the boss broke everytime one way or another.
That is a good reason for frustration.
And yes, of course we do have to wait for a bugfix. But when and if this problem will be adressed is not known.
For those who were able to beat him, congratulations. But dont look down on those who didnt have that much luck and are stuck with this frustrating situation.

Why is it that people get so sensitive when someone disagree with them? “Dont look down on those..” Who did that? I did not. I am however proof it is possible to do. Cant say its all luck if I do it in 3 times and you not even in 10. Somehow you trigger the bug by doing something differently from me. Like the story chapter 14, It was a spesific way one had to do to not make it bug when finding signs from Rox.

It’s so people would be forced to play the horrible new content.

GW2’s core game was a fun, casual friendly experience.

Were soloing your story quests was simple, with plenty of WPs and exp to get to cap.

HOT thou? It has mob density that all but forces a group just to get to the few and far inbetween WPs, HPs that spawns champions require masteries or are guarded by groups of vets, events that spawn all over the place with enough mobs to eat you alive in seconds.

The mobs in HOT exist in 3 forms: does large area damage, knocks downs, does large aoe damage and knocks down.

I tackled the new content with Cavalier armor on, I’ll try Sentinel next because Cavalier is simply not enough to survive in HOT, but then again I get the feeling HOT is not meant to be soloable since not only do the mobs hit hard enough to kill you very quickly they also have plenty of hit points and vets are plentiful.

Are mobs currently over tuned? Should I stop trying to solo my story line?

All in all HOT feels like an entirely different game from GW2, it’s more like a hardcore “die at the 1st mistake” kind of game then the casual friendly game I liked…

Very disappointed in the new content, I’ll do it once to know the story then never again.

Tip from a seasoned fractal player. Get better. Its not about armor its about knowing what to dodge and the encounter mechanics. Sorry you can’t breeze through it the first week with a greatsword and zerker armor lol. Anet said be prepared to try new armor, utility skills and change traits often. Its actually not kittence you learn.

“Git gud” is not a tip, it’s a veiled insult.

I don’t run zerk, never have. My problem is not a lack of skill, my problem is that a casual game has stopped being so in the span of a single expansion.

It is a good tip tho, since many of your complaints is a sign of low skill not an insult, but I feel you might be too sensitive so you take it as an insult anyways so…

@OP, I dont know if this will help buuut… I got the quiver and it looks good!!
On a side note, blaming Anet for not being able to scroll the whole promotion page is dumb. I did, and I got it. And the minis didnt even show up before after the quiver went away (unless I remember sightly wrong).
Edit; electro beat me to it(:

Hello

I’m getting a little bored of the regular PVE, and saw someone commenting on a few posts about adding excitement with doing Roleplaying.

I am wondering if there are any quilds who is really heavy on that and got room for an extra member?

Kicking... Not Just for Dungeons anymore!

You did not read the lfg and didnt meet their requirements, I guarantee it!
In your words, you are a “moron”.

If they ask for someone exp and you are not, dont join
If they ask for higher AP than U got, dont join
If they ask for certain profesions U dont use, dont join
Of they ask for anything at all that U dont know, understand or got, dont join

Dont get why people got such a hard time with that. Instead they blame the dungeon community because they get kicked, calling it toxic. I have been kicked once because they wanted to play with their friends. Its a reason thats the only time
Read the lfg, or better yet. Just make your own!

Begging your pardon Valentine, but what do you not understand about this part of my post:

“even when I make sure the group advert is described as “Doing heart events” or “Join me!” or “Doing Orr events”

Anyway….

There’s no question about whether or not the dungeon community is atrocious, it goes without saying; everyone I talked to in the game, when on the subject of dungeons, says they avoid them because of the community… what’s more is, if they didn’t act kitten, there wouldn’t be 100 threads about it. The topic is the asinine behavior of the dungeon community, has started to leak into the open world (which, I guess was inevitable, unfortunately).

You are doing something wrong is the point. Only time when its not you who are wrong, its those even worse people who wants something special but dont post it. But if its correct U get kicked all the time, you must be doing something wrong. Just face facts. Cause I dont believe U always read the lfg when U join something. Then you wouldnt be kicked all the time, just sayin’

One more thing, most of the people complaining on the forum about dungeons, dont read the lfg. They are in the wrong. Most people are just not smart nowadays, and blame everyone else
