Today while opening a Black Lion chest I received a previously unlocked mini
(Dwayna’s Messenger). I was under the impression that you wouldn’t revive duplicates of previously unlocked items that can not be traded i.e. account bound. Is there anyway to trade this in? or am I stuck with it like my 6 copies of the Queen Jennah mini?
….is there any reason in particular you guys push these out at peak times, mainly server reset? I think I speak for a most people here who get annoyed when you get the dreaded message
“A new build will be available in 10 minutes”
“You game will restart in x minutes”
“You game will restart in x minutes”
“You game will restart in x minutes”
oh I was afk for 30 min now I guess I’m stuck on an empty map.
“You game will restart in x minutes”
Most of the time this happens when people are waiting for the Tequatl reset and most times you have to get there between 30-45min for a decent map. If you miss the first message in chat you come back to an empty map. It will screw your whole W/E run up for the night since you will be behind the main maps. It would be nice if these seemingly daily updates were pushed out during off hours like in most MMOs. Not sure what the deal is here.
If anything at least explain why this is the way it is so we understand.
Used search function just to say I agree with this idea. GW2 needs more downtime content, fishing, card trading/board games, maybe some “clicker type” and other mini games, a game within a game.. One should never have to leave GW2 to find different types of gaming genres to enjoy, even though we can. I would even support some items being sold through the BL store. It’s long shot but just throwing that out there.
I didn’t read any of the posts,I think $29.99 would have been fair if this is all we get, but correct me if I’m wrong….Isn’t this like buying a new season of GW2? I mean I expect them to continue to expand upon things beyond this expansion.
Reporting crashing as well mostly in HoT area when I have settings auto detect, but I crashed at Tequatl as well. As soon as I put my settings on performance it seems to stop. A few folks said the 64 bit client was more stable, for me it seems to be the same.
You’re right anet doesn’t owe me anything, just like I don’t owe them anything. This white knighting isn’t really helping btw. You can actually kill the game you love by driving people away….look what happened to Star Wars Galaxies. People got fed up with the super fan mentality and eventually the game died. Who wants to dump money into a game with people like that? This goes back to the saying “have fun playing by yourself”
They are asking us to pay just about the same price as the base game was on release, for a fraction of the content.
Exactly,i won’t be buying it,not just for that but mostly because they do not listen to feedback,ever..and im so dissapointed in all these skill changes and trait switches and the direction it’s going,besides theyre unable to fix the lag in WvW,add greed and i don’t see why i should buy the exp pack sadly.
They can’t even fix the loot bugs and tab targeting glitches or the movement issues where you are stuck going the opposite direction your camera is facing…..and this has been /bugged many times…anet doesn’t listen to feedback at all. This expansion is the perfect opportunity to vote with my wallet.
I guess this is why there are smart money wise people in this world who have assets and worth, while others blow money frivolously on anything shiny and live pay check to paycheck. xD
“Hey bud, buy this car! it looks cool, we aren’t sure if it runs well and we can’t show you everything or even let you try it till after you pay for it, but take our word for it, you’ll love it. "
I was online in WvW with my guild at an event, about 15 of us there. Most of us bought the preorder on the spot. None of us ran to the forums or Reddit and started screaming. But most of us love the game and think it’s worth the price.
The people who don’t love the game, might well think this is expensive. It might be a bit overpriced, but that’s all it is…to me anyway.
If the people who are complaining didn’t love the game they wouldn’t be here at all. Big difference between loving the game and being blinded by love.
Hold on to your money. I honestly from what they have shown and promised, it is worth 15-20. 50 dollars, I better preorder fallout 4. 50 dollars is beyond comprehension of what it’s worth.
Besides, the preorder is recommended for the new players getting in. But for the current players, hold on to your money. This is plain ridiculous. Unless you want the rytlock mini and the good gem deal, go get the ultimate if you can afford one.
this
I can wait 2 years for a sale when they throw it out for $10.
Anet posted on reddit that they will offer a HoT upgrade for players who just bought the base game. I don’t know what the parameters on those orders are, but it’s something they are doing.
So the longer you have played, the worse deal you get? Sounds about right along the lines with how cell phone /cable satellite companies treat their old customers, new customers always get the best deals. Only problem is, it’s not like you can leave gw2 and then come back. xD This is a news worthy debacle.
The ppl who complain on the forums are 1% of the playerbase, so who cares. I won’t miss them.
If they stop playing it will be healthier for the community and maybe new, fresh blood will complain less with this expansion.
I remember a similar argument on the City of Heroes and Warhammer Online boards. I hope I don’t have to point out the irony in their past and your current opinion. Sincerely.
Not to mention SWG. SOE said complainers were the vocal minority, we all know how that ended.
I feel this is highway robbery on the part of anet. I was hoping for a character slot if I’m gonna drop $50(which I feel is too much based on the amount of content we are getting). Not pleased, voting with my wallet and I refuse to buy this expac.
Well lets watch your happy thread and compare it to the unhappy thread(s) and we shall see, also watch facebook…you will see plenty of kittened people there too.
On a side note…..waste of money imho. xD But glad you’re happy *snicker
Status:
Leaving items in the mail to make it easier for ANet to fix it if they weren’t supposed to be sent to me. Because HoM is still messed up for everyone thanks to the last goofed-up reward (not for me, I already got everything my 3 HoM points allow, but I feel sympathy for others) and I don’t want to be part of another such problem. Even though the 18 slot boxes would be nice
lol this made me laugh. I’m sure someone would appreciate the effort, but lets be honest, most of us have already used the items like me. I thought maybe it was some promotion or something I missed the announcement for. The only thing that could fix this is a roll back at this point to remove the item from everyone, and that would cause so much angst its not possible. Next option is just to give it to those who have not gotten it.
Hopefully for your sake they just don’t retract all the unopened emails and let the ones that were opened slide, you would miss out on a free gift lol
Holy cow! My best friend made Cult of the Wind all by himself, I totally just texted him a video and his response was, “Hahaha, sweet!”
For those of you who don’t know, Cult of the Wind is an independent game developed by one person, where you run around pretending to be an airplane and fight other players in a capture the flag like map.
I think it’s likely a coincidence, and I highly doubt it’s a direct reference to the game, but still pretty sweet to see people mention his game.
things get real messed up in that game and I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe.
So pretty much no one knows why you can get all gold metals for each battery phase event and reduced chest returns. I’m gonna chalk this up as a bug and NOTworking as intended. It’s sorta like the vanishing champ loot bags during the great jungle worm event which has been bugged since launch. Hope it gets fixed soon, but somehow I doubt it will.
If you guys want to know what a grind is you should have played Star War Galaxies back in the day when their idea of content was mission terminals. I remember spending months killing lairs of the same critters to unlock holo professions, then force XP, then once I unlocked Jedi did months of spin group XP grind on Dantooine all while trying to avoid being killed by player Bounty Hunters that if they killed you would leave you with a huge XP debt that would take weeks to regain.
Yes there are some things in gw2 may feel grindy, but grindy and advancing tend to go hand in hand. The real question is are the goals and rewards balanced and achievable in a time frame that is fair? I would say yes in most cases, and the things that were not, have gotten better (cough* ecto drops from salvage).
I imagine they will only get better as the game moves forward. If you are feeling winded from farming gold or mats find something else to do. If anything take a break from the game for a bit and come back after things improve in your favor.
Ok this seems to be a bug, but i could be wrong. I got gold all phases and only got 3 chests, two different times. Sometimes I can get bronze and silvers and get all 4 chests. Is there an explanation for this? Maybe dev could chime in and explain it if it is not a bug so we aren’t frustrated and feeling ripped off?
(I know this is an old topic, but I figured why start new one? I searched and if this was answered by someone please point me in the right direction. )
Another option would be to change the frame according to the rarity, example bellow. I know some people also have problems with red, and fiding a color that works for everyone can be tricky..
That way no matter the color problems it would be possible to distinguish the items.
In order to prevent hidding the icons, this difference could be shown only when we are using a kit to salvage the items.
That would be easier to see without covering up the whole icon. For me when there is an exotic between two rares and it looks like I have three rares.
(posted here since I can’t post in the suggestion forum)
Seriously, I can hardly tell the difference between what anet calls orange and the yellow. I would call it goldenrod to be honest.This has led me to salvage exotics more than a few times by accident. Most times I do my salvaging on the go to make space in my inventory and as soon as see the exotic sigil roll by on the right side of my screen I’m like, oh crap, what did I just salvage? I have for the most part just “dealt” with this and chalked it up as my own carelessness, or lack of ability to discern the difference between (anet orange) and yellow, but at this point I feel it’s at least worth asking for a change.
When you get a drop you don’t always see it as “exotic” It would be really helpful if the thin bands around each object was bigger, or better yet changed to red, or I would even be willing to accept a more orangish orange color.
I dont think they are blaming the good rangers, they are blaming the bad ones. All it takes is one troll to (m)uck up a system. Take collision detection. Cant be in the game because you just know “one guy” is going to stand in the wrong place and keep everyone from passing.
Its not just rangers either, thats why any fix should apply to all kb or pulls.
To simplify my solution even more.. just apply the “leap” mechanics to kb. ie. if immob, no movement, if cripple/chill partial.
Thing is though, Rangers KB works 100% of the time if no lockdown, Thief scorpion wire (pulls) to counteract the KB maybe 60% of the time if no lockdown…if it works at all. This is why Rangers are hated, their ability to troll with this works anytime they decide to use it and there is nothing you can do about it.
I’m not sure if this has been brought up before and if has sorry.
I’ve been doing the world event chain for months now and have noticed that some folks playing the Ranger class have been using KB as a form of trolling, by knocking back content out of the reach of other players purposely. This is doing nothing but kittening people off and causing animosity.
I don’t know if it’s possible, but could we get a range adjustment on KB applied so it’s not knocking stuff back out of the range of other classes ranged capability? I really don’t see a point in KBing mobs more than 900.
Thanks
Oh noes! You have to pay attention to what you’re hitting with Press #1 and Face-tank world zerg train tactics. The horror that it may move and players would be forced to follow and …. (wait for it) …. (its coming) …. react. * gasp * Oh no I didn’t.
Yes I realize that some rangers don’t always use the correct skills at the best of times. I do. However the long knockback also has its place. Tequatl battery defense comes to mind first.
PvE is already so disgustingly easy… please don’t whine over something like this.
Normally I couldn’t be bothered responding to such an immature and ignorantly formatted posting such as yours but since you felt the need to defend your position in such a inflammatory manner, I shall retort.
How about you go chase your kills across the lava in Mount Maelstrom during Mega Destroyer and see how long you last with your medium armor. Or how about when you are meleeing a mob solo and it’s pushed away so far you have to go chase it down and by the time you leap to it, it’s dead and even thought you spent the majority of the time knocking down it’s health, you get no credit or loot for the kill. That sounds like fun right?
Now imagine that same person follows you around doing that for a while until you were like f this and just log to a different overflow to get away from them. Tell me you would just laugh it off and say “that’s ok, he’s just a Ranger being a Ranger I’ll leave so he can play”. Maybe I can come in with Scorpion Wire (if I get the skill to work) and drag Champ aggro right on top of you while most of your skills are in cool down and you have no time to evade so you die fast..then we can all have a laugh right?
Thing is my pull skills are hit or miss, Ranger always has the chance to KB as long as the mob isn’t locked down, and the cool down is less then thief SW….it’s a balance issue and it needs to be addressed in some form. We re supposed to be countering mob attacks, not worrying about what other players are doing and trying to counter their moves.
Just reduce the range of the knock back against PvE mobs for these PvE fans so they can stop crying about their loss of 1second farm dps.
Yes and disable it in wvw, please as it’s so nice to see opponents escape due to knockback.
Carry a range weapon, cripple, immobilized, pull, freeze, or knockdown and adapt.
I’m a thief, my max range is at 900 and I have few of your suggested utilities and I don’t really want to see the rangers on my own server as my worst enemies.
Edit: If I could kill them I would though.
Edit²: Those who interfer in my fights, use their stupid knockback carelessly and have the nerve to then tell me that they had to trade their 6k damage against my 16k.
Edit³: Spelling
Yeah I play thief too and sometimes I can use Scorpion Wire to pull it back, but most of the time someone else has locked it down or another ranger pushes it back out again.
And as to the person who said KB does not work on champs, BS…this happened tonight and is the reason I posted this thread. My best ranged weapon is short bow (The Dreamer), so the range isn’t as good as long bow. I feel this is a mechanic oversight and it needs to be adjusted, or make it so KB does not affect anything over a normal mob, and that would include Veterans, Elites, Champions and Legendary (and yes you can KB and pull Legendary mobs).
Its stupid as hell that you have people pushing mobs all over the place just so they can watch people can chase it around. It would be one thing if the mob was moving on it’s own, but it’s players doing it…it’s just annoying I don’t care who you are.
The very reason why an opponent ranger doesn’t survive me – knockback – I’m really going after rangers because I hate knockback that much.
Just had a discussion with a friend who mains ranger and well, if a ranger storms into a camp I’m just soloing and knocks back the mob I’m just finishing we both miss out on 16k damage I would’ve been able to dish out without knockback.
So, no idea how to change it, I would like that it has got some effect on the ranger as well so they don’t use it thoughtlessly.
Something needs changed. They use it to push mobs out, you end up with no loot. Really annoying.
