Just curious. I find it annoying to constantly type in my credentials to simply be able to view the forums. This appears to be a recent change; why was this?

For a game that has an endgame almost entirely consisting of cosmetic changes to your character…yeah, this feels like a major blunder.

Night Capping and YOU

I just wanted to chime in on the red phrase of “They too are paying customers.”

This is faulty logic. I don’t want to spend as much time farming/playing, but I want to experience having a legendary, cater to me because I too am a paying customer, etc.

In all seriousness, your servers are classified as north american or european. This is somewhat awkward for aussie players, but beyond that, I believe a “reduced point period” is worth considering. Telling me that the reason for no changes is some incredibly small fraction of your playerbase wants to play outside their region or are extreme nightowls playing wvw at 4am is, to be blunt, laughable.

D/D for WvW is the future

D/D seems like it would be good for intercepting reinforcements or roaming around the secondary objectives. This build is really tough and damaging in small fights. No two people are not on fire. Just pretend that the amulet is actually W3 gear of a similar focus.

Quick Glyphs + signet build. Genius

In my opinion, the diminished returns system simply should be disabled/removed until a working fix can be implemented. The playerbase shouldn’t be penalized for someone else’s mistakes.

My idea how to reduce "nightcapers".

These “that’s not how real war works!!” claims are hilariously bad.

Go ahead, delete your character once it dies once in WvW. After all, there are no respawns “in real war”. I’ll wait, take your time.

It appears I was misinformed then, ouch.

Thanks for the answer though.

Super-suggestive Title, I know.

So I’m trying to make mystic clovers, using the (1x) recipe. As a reminder, that’s 1 glob of ectoplasm + 1 obsidian shard +1 mystic coin + 6 philosopher’s stone. Take note: 10 stone = 1 skill point, so 6 stone = .6 skillpoint.

The recipe should yield either t6 materials (bloods, scales, bones, etc) or clovers. My yield? 2 Crystals . This isn’t supposed to be one of the possible yields, is it? I effectively put in X + Y + Z + .6 skillpoints and yielded .6skillpoints.

Suggestion to vastly improve WvW

Here goes, a bold proposal:

Swap current out-manned buff (+MF/EXP/karma) with the Orb bonuses. Servers that are ahead/hold orbs gain benefits, while those that are significantly outnumbered have a mechanic that lessens the burden of being out-manned.

Risen Grubs disabled? Why?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Disabling loot/exp off ALL grubs in the game (caledon, random spawns in orr, event spawns) is, without a doubt, the most ham-handed way of resolving this situation.

What would be your solution to the problem, keeping in mind it has to be implemented quickly, minimal development time so as to not let the problem exist for too long as to impact the game any more. People need to look up the term “temporary.”

-First, excuse my failure to quote properly.

My proposed solution? Almost certainly equally ham-handed, but removing the giant(s) from the game would have fixed the issue (while still allowing people to kill random grubs along the road/kill them in low level zones).

Alternatively, changing grub spawns to every 25% life loss by the giant would have worked as well.

99% of posters here don’t understand exploit to have that meaning. They believe exploit = cheat.

A patch was scheduled/promised for tonight. No communication about the status of the patch is disheartening/unprofessional.

Actually, I was doing an event during which grubs spawned. My choices are to either: exert effort to kill them, for no possible reward; or b) let them kill me. If grubs are THAT profitable to farm (doubtful), they should just be removed from the game.

“That content has been temporarily disabled. Please try again later.”

This message should never appear without some sort of prior explanation. Just why am I unable to kill risen grubs again? Poor communication begets angry consumers.

tldr: Risen Grubs (at least in straights of devastation) no longer give loot/experience, for no apparent reason.

Servers are completely messed up tonight. While I sit here unable to log in, my friend called me to tell me his gun is shooting nearly at nearly double its normal speed. Are servers getting rolled back?

This thread interests me. 3 week back-up on freeing up names? Are there really “millions” of names to free up? :|

Bugged reward for world completion!

I completed 100% of hearts, points of interest, vistas, and skill point challenges yesterday. I thought I had taken my first steps towards obtaining a legendary item, but imagine my surprise when I did not receive either the “gift of exploration” or the “gold star” by your name that signifies 100%!

Please look into this bug so that others do not share in my disappointment.
