Slaying Potions, the double-edged sword

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

After some extensive tank-and-spank sessions I noticed something weird. Slaying potions actually make you take MORE damage, not less.

I tested this with Undergrowth Webber on new TA path getting hit multiple times with and without Nightmare Court Slaying. Then I went to Arah and tested same with Undead Slaying on Orrian Villager.

You will still deal more damage so at least that part works.

I was kicked from CM for “asking” the first boss…
That was a pain in the kitten , every time you must run as a fool, jump, skip mob and boss… it’s quite boring.

WTF does “asking the boss” mean?

Roleplaying. Some bosses are pretty hot so it’s not completely new thing to ask them out.

Things often get quite heated.

[Suggestion] PvE Dungeons new mode

I also have some suggestions. I can’t believe no one had these before because they are really really simple.

1) Fix world hunger
2) Cure cancer
3) Make everyone happy

Who agrees?


They just can’t press a button to add more fun / challenge / strategy or fix stacking / full zerk. Ideas are really worthless without any suggestion about the implementation.

But I agree on adding Erotic mode!

Zhaitan... Wasn't he an Elder Dragon?

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

Spoiler alert.

While you were playing around with ships and stuff, Trahearne almost killed Zhaitan singlehandedly on his own. Unfortunately his fingernail broke when he was preparing for the finishing move and he had to abandon his mission.

But he was wise enough to have you as the backup force. Though you messed really bad by destroying your ship.

If you have any other questions about the story or the lore, feel free to ask.

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

It has been quite on/off for past few weeks because transitioning from old host to the new one didn’t go as smoothly as planned. Now dulfy is hosting it so it should stay stable for a while. You can access it with either www.gw2dungeons.net or www.gw2dungeons.com

Changes:
- guides for new Fractal paths
- all around content tweaks for better quality
- slightly improved UI which should work bit better on smaller resolutions
- new section (by Target) for builds and general info (early stage)
- health data added to enemies which includes Fractal health algorithms (lots of values still missing)

And as always, I’m looking for tips, feedback and people willing to help!

Not everyone plays classes that have access to several evades, blocks, invulnerability, massive melee damage. So there really isn’t a fair option for some classes. Hell there is a video of a full zerk warrior just eating the shadow aoe and clone explosions as he kills Liadri in under 5 seconds flat. This challenge is broken. Period.

You probably should first learn few things about the encounter. Or pay more attention when watching that video.

A nice trick to 2 man and sell fractals

in Fractured

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

I think it’s fair. Those people you kicked didn’t actually kill the final boss so they don’t deserve any final rewards (if they complain they are just entitled). And they also had fun during the run while getting rewards from that.

Why can an instance host be kicked?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

In my opinion selling should be fixed. Dungeon should track which players complete which events. Once the dungeon gets completed each player would get his share.

So if you solo a dungeon on your own you would get 5 x end reward. Or if you are on a pug group and get kicked at end boss you would get ~80% of end rewards (for doing ~80% of encounters).

Game Updates: Traits

Today I decided to start playing again more actively. I created a new character, used scroll to level 20 and started playing. During first 15 minutes I opened trait panel like 3 times to plan my traits and see where to put my next points only to remember that nothing is available until level 30. Then I remembered that even at level 50 I probably won’t have any meaningful traits available.

Today I decided to stop playing this game actively.

Still lots of stuff missing so please take a look. I’m next going to implement your feedback and suggestions and then focus on one dungeon. You can “vote” for dungeon which you think needs most help!
There are some issues with lower resolutions but we are working on it!

PS. Don’t forget to tweak settings or you may miss 18% of the fun!

Dungeon community ignored?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

As I can’t create any topics I will come here to derail this one.

It makes me bit sad to see how they implemented new fractals. With level reset I would have expected a real rework with huge amount of challenge and content. Not the reduced version we got.

Instead of having a linear progression where difficulty varies a lot and people can just skip harder parts they should have added a network. Basically there should be 3 variables, base difficulty, instability type and instability strength. For example with 10 base difficulties, 10 instabilities and 5 instability strengths there would be 500 levels which is bit more than current 50.

Also they could create really hard/annoying/gimmicky instabilities because each instability type would be an own path. Difficulty progression has several options. For example completing levels could give fractal experience which would unlock higher base difficulties while stronger instabilities would get simply unlocked by doing a previous level.

Then another idea is to split up levels to maps. So instead of going in and getting random maps you could choose which one you want to play. This would eliminate random/lucky rolls, reduce time investment and allow connecting instabilities to specific maps. As this would create 4th variable merging base difficulty and instability strength might be needed for clarity.

Quick sketch to hopefully illustrate my idea better. Actual implementation would probably be quite different but not going to process it further because I know I’m just wasting my time.

Why no /inspect ?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

Would inspect even make it any worse?

There are already players with specific requirements and gear-check. Current game already supports that kind of behavior. With inspect they could pre-kick more effectively meaning some people wouldn’t get kicked mid-run.

Then there are players who want good players but can’t be bothered with gear-checks. If stuff doesn’t go smoothly people will get kicked mid-run. Inspect would allow seeing these problems earlier (it’s not really rocket science).

Then there are players who want some decent players but don’t care that much. They may have to kick people who aren’t just pulling their weight. Again inspect would allow figuring these problems earlier.

Then there are people who don’t care at all and nothing would change.

Yes, more people would get kicked pre-run. But also less people would get kicked mid-run saving lots of frustration.
Would it be so bad if you could easily figure out people you want to play with?

You have to dodge the attack that summons skeletons (the animation is the same of the human male casting meteor shower, the exact same but faster). That, and the fear thingy (magecrusher exploding marks). There’s also the attack that supposedly knocks you down, but I didn’t dodge it and sometimes it does nothing. Satan knows why :/

People complain because devs could have implemented a system which would both reduce griefing and support selling.

Instead of the current system which just seems to promote griefing.

Why on earth would developers support sellers? Sellers make no good for community. Part of the reason why it is so hard to find a group for Arah, especially for a new/semi-experienced player, is because all ‘veterans’ are too busy selling instead of helping other people. Frankly, you can make more money in Dry Top or whatever the best open world faming spot is right now. Hell yeah, I even make more gold in EOTM!

p.s. I agree on the grieving part thou Arah sellers are the true grievers

Why would veterans need to help other people? Do they owe something to you?

Posted by: Wethospu.6437

Wethospu.6437

World Completion doesn’t include Dungeon Maps nor SPvP Maps. Therefore there is no reason why it should include WvW Maps just because they are maps.
Forcing different game-modes is bad design. Allowing different game-modes is good design. Period.
What makes exploring WvW even worse that it relies on awkward mechanics: switching servers, not playing the gamemode as designed, waiting for team-color changes, waiting for change in WvW situation. Most importantly, these mechanics don’t exist with rest of the World Completion. This makes the World Completion progression broken.

My suggestion is: PvE World Completion, WvW World Completion, Dungeon World Completion, SPvP World Completion and optionally Master World Completion.

I understand skipping when encounters are easy, boring and don’t give decent loot. When you simply gain nothing from the fight (fun, skills, wealth) why bother?
I also understand it if you are doing a timed run.
