Thanks, I tried searching cinematic and cutsceen and saw 0 posts lol
I have had this really bright light on the left side of my screen. So which ever character is speaking on the left side almost looks like they have the sun right in their face because face/armor/everything is so bright.
I have been having this issue for past few days where my right click will not start dragging my camera around with 100% accuracy. I’ve played in windowed/windowed fullscreen/fullscreen and the issue does not seem to go away. I know it is not my mouse because I don’t have this issue in other games/MMOs. I have the Right-Click to Attack/Interact box unchecked.
So I the personal story mission Tower Down and the towers I needed to destroy were invisible until Tonn destroyed them. The invisible towers were causing camera issues making is difficult to fight off the mobs surrounding the towers.
Whilst I’m sure a lot of your points are valid and are indeed problems Arenanet should seriously look into, it would have perhaps been better to make the posts look more presentable grammar and punctuation wise, or it just sort of looks like a rambling mess.
I do agree with most of the points above though.
i’m sorry my third best foreign speaking language is not good enough for this academic gathering.oh wait…we are on the forums of a VIDEO GAME.I think i used correctly enough sentences for someone to understand what i mean.Being a grammar gestapo on forums doesn’t add anything to the discussion,and just makes you look like an kitten
There was no need to get upset over his comment. It is fine to not have perfect grammar for a language that isn’t your primary language he was just saying you should try and neaten it up. You can still do this by using the edit feature, however you getting mad has sort of diminished whatever points you were making.
By the way, I do agree with a lot of your points about the state of these dungeons. The only thing I would add is what I’ve posted elsewhere on these forums. We are in dire need of a Hard Mode., something along the lines of Guild Wars 1. Let the party decide on which type they want(normal or hard) and as for rewards either let hard modes reward more gold and tokens(well this should be a given and there regardless) but the major thing is add new tokens for hard modes that let us buy very nice armor skins(almost like a legendary equivalent meaning people know we worked hard for this) The new armors should not be better stats and when ArenaNet adds ascended armor/weapons to the game they should not be only obtainable from running hard modes.
(edited by YaHiKoDrG.3467)
They need to bring back Hard Mode from GW1, that way you can have your casuals stick to the normal mode and still do content and let your skilled players have a challenge for themselves and you could just have it reward more tokens or add new skins to the vendor, because we all know it will cause a kitten storm Hard Mode should not reward better stats for gear or be required for ascended armor/weapons when they are released. There is no problem tho with having almost a legendary armor skin available only from Hard Modes so everyone can see your accomplishment.
I think without seeing the video/pictures it is just a bad few ruining the name of a guild/server. I have respect for SBI on how they responded to when Wild Bill would exploit into SoS towers. All we can do is report, move on, and becare about posting “proof” here because it can be seen as “sharing an exploit” and ArenaNet can over react and ban the wrong people faster.
Take a break from either WvW or the game, I ran dungeons nonstop past 2 months and really enjoying WvW. My friends have actually started playing again so they want to run dungeons and I can say that if you take a break from what you are currently doing you will come back refreshed and be able to enjoy it more. Most of us agree tho that having to wait till February for the major PvP patch is way to long but hopefully for January they don’t do new content but focus on revamping current content.
It has been happening more since Wintersday started but I am not getting credit for taking towers and keeps. Sometimes my event log won’t even give me a status on supply camps.
@YaHiKoDrG,
I don’t know when this person bought the gems, but I do know the dev post on only 2 available toys was well before any mention of the Tixx fix (at least that I had seen).
I don’t want to argue with anyone. I think both points brought up in this thread are valid, and I hope ArenaNet takes this in to better their next event. However, I don’t think it’s fair to completely to shrug off a complaint without trying to uncover the real issue here, and that is ArenaNet’s poor communication to their players.
I agree ArenaNets communication skills leave something greatly to be desired, but after the Lost Shores mess up and the late gift from them for those who d/cd and some people even got a karka chest when they didn’t d/c at all. I would say take this advice for all future events if a bug happens for some kind of reward just wait and see what ArenaNet does to compensate those players who were effected.
So I purchased gems to get all the Tixxs’ Mini’s then later there is an update and I can now craft another in game. This seems unfair to anyone that made the purchase from the gem store.
pffft, hope you learned a lesson
I don’t think that’s very fair to say though. There was an official ANet post stating we’d only have enough for 2 toys.
I don’t want to attack ANet for trying to offer a fix for people not getting rewards, and offering an extra toy. However, there is a serious (and very well known) issue with their communication.
Yes there was a post saying we could only make 2 then there was a post saying ANet was working on a fix for Tixxs gift, the point is still valid you should have waited. The event is going on till jan 3rd there was no reason to have to buy them that second. Even if you spent gold for gems you could buy gems anytime and WAIT hell if it turned out you didn’t need as many gems as you thought you could sell them back(you would make more gold back than what those gems were worth when you bought them) or saved them for the next event
People complain about only getting two pets for free. ArenaNet gives everyone enough cogs to make a third; people complain about already buying the others with gems.
Lovely.
Watch now with 250 more cogs people will complain about the price of stuffing and glue
ArenaNet had said they were working on a fix for those who got a bugged Tixx reward so no my statement is completely fair. Yes there was no indication we would get more cogs but at the same time ArenaNet was not fixing issues.
Patience is a virtue.
Learn from your mistake to rush and buy things long before the event is was over. There is no harm in buying gems and waiting BTW but there is no need to buy the items on the gem store ASAP.
Wheres the vendor for frames?
the ugly clothing vendors now sells the frames
You could maybe use them to make the transform tonics with the other 3 toy pieces you have. I’m not sure what that needs though.
nope, if you put 1 frame into the mystic forge the others grey out
Ya this would be great to know because just seems like 200 cogs is a tease and a waste of inventory space. We had devs saying at the start of Wintersday that you could only get 2/5 pets, is that still the case and if so what else can we use these cogs for then?
I don’t think they need to raise the cap on bleeds but let each player stack their own bleeds. IMO that is the one problem with PvE condition builds is that players share stacks. I think it would require a lot of fine tuning but let everyone have their own condition stacks on a monster(this should not apply to pvp/ targeting a player in wvw)
Go scout, stealth yourself then charge #4 to full you should 1shot anyone who has just a bit of damage dealt to them and they won’t know when to drop the present b/c your stealthed
Just to make sure you all know this, you can dig though these forums.. there is an in game LFG tool being developed(don’t start speculating what is good or bad just yet) but it is a good sign for the players that this is in development.
As for being worried about posting your character name on gw2lfg.com it is not as bad as you are making it out to be. You are not asked to make an account to post of the page so means no email or passwords required. When asked for a character name you don’t need to type the name of the character you are currently on, an example is if on lfg.com I use my warriors name but am currently looking for a group on my engineer people will still auto join into my group with my warriors name.
Have you posted on gw2lfg.com? It really has helped me find groups for the older dungeons.
I think you have 2 well thought out ideas for attacking siege, but if you want to also balance it out attack vs defender we need some new siege for defenders to use.
quick ideas since I’m about to leave :P
tower upgrade “Buckets of tar” pour down ladders not only doing large amounts of damage to the siege but lockout out players from using the ladders for a set amount of time.
tower upgrade – “needs a better name” :P but a crows nest with multiple cannons built on it. allowing you to be more offensive while defending.
Should only be useable on those who own bells but can’t play them with any skill :P
no, the cog reward is account wide so it doesn’t matter which charatcer your the same account you rerun it. If you run all 5 days you will get 500 cogs enough for 2 out of 5 minis
Um… everquest didn’t have that 10 years ago (they don’t and never had any sort of auction house either). They barely have a functioning preview today.
Lets not derail the topic on Everquest but keep the focus on our lack of previewing all items lol
Well I think the #5 skill doesn’t belong on the ranger but I would love to see the Ranger longbow get a skill like the #4 on the slingshot. Ranger Longbow is all about distance = damage so why wouldn’t a charged up shot make sense, almost like going back to the old days in WoW with a Hunters Aimed Shot
This makes no sense to remove it, as other have stated I would preview light on my warrior just to know if I wanted it on my mesmer. Also I would preview it on a character of a specific race to see if I wanted to make another class of that race. Like previewing light armor on a charr warrior to see if I want a charr elem.
Most people are happy, but why is it the weapon RNG was removed since halloween but minis were added. People are upset about losing something like the spook-trio. The upset players aren’t the same group from halloween it is a different group asking why their stuff was changed from the previous event.
I think everyone agrees regardless about RNG minis or have to pick only a few out of the total, we just wish ArenaNet would be more clear with us
Maybe we can get an answer to that – what is ANet’s philosophy here? Will the rewards be similar from year to year?
I’m not dev so take from this comment what you will but looking at any MMO and even GW1, if they do have these minis again next year they will also have new ones added to the list so your collection will keep growing without ever letting you catch up.
Guys. GUYS. Before you get mad about the main 5 minis: You can get two BY THE TIME HE HITS LION’S ARCH. He will then stay for like… another 2 WEEKS. Plenty of time to get the rest then see?
Also the other pets can drop from the Giant and Personalized gifts at a low rate.
This is where ArenaNet hasn’t been clear it seems you only get the cogs once per city clear. so a total of 500 only. It does not seem like they are a daily reward, and seems even less likely since the toy minis are going up in the gem store
wow 350 gems for 1 green mini. at least its guranted, but still. At halloween we got 3 minis for not much more. anet is getting greedy
My money is on NCSoft is getting greedy and squeezing ArenaNet a bit more
Foostivoo the Merry can be made by combining any combination of the 3 other minis(snowman/inginirarium/golem)
I don’t care for minipets, so if I choose to make two of them, I will likely put them on the AH.
The toys are account bound so you can not sell yours
You can also go out into the open world(i farmed Frostgorge Sound) and the candy icons on your map are location of presents and sometimes toys will spawn for you to kill.
Edit: but no I have not gotten stuck at kills but try killing the open world toys see if that helps
Arenat is obviously trying to remove any use of coordination and communication within the game. First it was the turtle, now this. What will be next.?
No more superior siege?
Guilds cant put more than 10 on each map?
Using a third party voice com is considered a hack and will cause you to get banned?
Food buffs no longer works in WvW?
All players will get 1 set of gear to wear in WvW?
All players will get the same 5 skills to use in WvW?The options is many Kittennet The next move is yours.
Edit: No more turning on the commander tag – Why would we have pugs following us, taking up a portal slot from a geared and specced guildie that is on voice coms?
Great way of making more distance between the casual and the core WvW gamers.
Think you’re over reacting just a bit I think this change was mostly due to ArenaNets poor game engine and being unable to really fix the culling issue. I don’t like the change but was clearing over powered with how the culling worked. Now the problem is getting people to not use the portal is you aren’t in a golem
As much as I understand the need to merge/remove duplicate threads I would suggest you do not respond to them in said thread because it is filling up the dev tracker with posts saying “this thread is a duplicate/copy” Instead just send the author and anyone who posted on that thread saying “This is a duplicate and has been removed/moved to this -link- thread” So users can see the meaningful posts on the dev tracker.
I think going back to the 8man groups would be fine for something of this large a scale… but I think if you add more players being able to scale the damage of mobs and their HP might be a pain.
And less people will use if they force someone into your grup taking from you the choice.
And yeah, I´m really lazy, i prefer to wait playing or using map talk to really talk to people instad of spamming LFG in LA.
Yeah sooo lazy.
boy you seem upset that there is a possibility to include something to help form groups. There is absolutely no difference from auto forming a group than spamming /map or posting on gw2lfg, no matter which form you use you are still rolling the dice on the quality of group members you are getting. If you happen to be one of those who discriminate what type of members you invite then find a guild and run with them. I love how people thinking spamming /map or using the website is a form of socializing in guild wars 2. Most of the dungeon groups I’ve joined from gw2lfg the only word anyone has said to each other is “is this for -enter dungeon-” And when I’ve done FotM with pugs its 50/50 on if they are any good.
On the topic of auto warping I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing it but just like repair bills warping yourself to a dungeon takes a small amount of gold out of the players economy and we can already see how badly it is getting. Even if you only need one person to zone into the dungeon while the rest of your group is in the zone everyone still had to take themselves out to that zone in the first place.
If you put the LFG in a auto form groups system lots of people will never use them because it´s not our freedom of choice, just something forced on us. And when you take the freedom of choice people will be very angry.
the LFG tool will never please everyone but it is clear by MMO gamers they are lazy so while some people will dislike it others will still use it. I would say a compromise would be add a function that lets you either sit and invite/be invited or to just auto join the first group available
Whatever too Anet implements needs to be cross-server.
It doesn’t need to be auto-join and auto-port you to the dungeon, but it does need to let you state very specifically what you are looking for, and if it isn’t auto-join, it needs to be very browsing friendly.
Basically, it needs to be equal to, at minimum, the LFG site, or will be largely useless and wasted development time.
I agree on some of your points but the LFG tool should do the following IMO
Should be cross server
Should auto form groups
Should NOT auto warp players into the dungeon
It should NOT allow players to queue up for explorable mode unless that have finished story mode on that character. As much as this would suck for those with alts it will get people running story mode again, and avoid the issue I have run into using gw2lfg.com where you get a full group with no one having access to explorable mode.
If you think the AC “shortcuts” are bad, run SE CoE CM… it is awful and ArenaNet needs to get on the ball fix these short cuts and prevent players from using them. There is nothing wrong with skipping trash but if I can jump over terrain or stand on a box to prevent a boss from attacking, it is a major problem making dungeons unfun.
I’ve noticed this too, as I run my warrior with dual axes and fairly close-fitting armor. Really didn’t think much about it, as I’ve become used to both gaps and clipping depending on what gear is in use and where it it’s located. If it is indeed an intentional change to compensate for something, I’m going to guess it’s a “best option” sort of thing, where you’ll get some anomalies and some “fixes” to the visuals as the changes are probably a global thing, rather than anyone spending time manually playing with the models or templates (or whatever the proper art-guy jargon is) in specific cases.
The biggest problem I have with my warrior is before the axes sat on my characters hits and they felt like my character was wearing them. Now they are just floating and are clipping into my characters hands which is far worse IMO. I dunno GW1 has a bunch of armor clipping so this change just seems weird. I understand trying to fix the charr/asura clipping issues but I felt humans were fine as they were.
Other people have mentioned this and what I read in another post is that Twilight isn’t considered for the reward. It’s either Dawn or Dusk..
I think you meant Twilight alone doesn’t count, neither does making Sunrise alone. To get the achievement for a Greatsword legendary you need to make Eternity, or atleast that is what has been posted on the forums before.
So I noticed after the last patch on my warrior the placement of my axes while sheathed have been changed to be placed further out on my hips, This makes them just floating and not part of my gear. I don’t care for the “slipping” you may have seen but atleast the weapons looked like they were on the players hips. If you don’t want clipping base weapon placement based on the armor, or move them to the characters back.
FotM was an all around mistake, I enjoy the content but not the RNG involved of ring drops, and then having a stock pile of fractal relics I can’t use because I have nothing left to spend them on.
When dungeons were in development they bosses/chests use to have a small chance to drop the dungeon weapon/armor from them but that was removed and then they just left the tokens to purchase the gear which wasn’t bad because you knew exactly how long you would have to work towards your goal.
Now with FotM you have a small chance of getting a ring and then another small chance of getting the ring you actually want. Then at 20+ you have an even smaller chance at receiving an infused ring and guess what have to pray that infused ring is the one you want. ArenaNet NEEDS to add rings to the fractal relic vendor so we aren’t getting blocked in progressing by bad luck. Doing Jade Maw and knowing you are going to die because your luck sucks is not fun.
The fact that we shouldn’t need it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it, and I don’t mind using it. It works pretty well and to stay in your line of reasoning, it get’s work off of Anet’s hands so they can work on other (important) things (like the precursor scavenger hunt).
the scavenger hunt is not more important, also 2 different types of development, the LFG tool is a bunch of UI requiring a lot more devs to work on it and having it made would fix a lot of complainants about having to /map for long periods of time for players for the PvErs. The scavenger hunt if it happens to be a gather these mats/go to these locations. like the baby black moa was in GW1 it will not require as many devs to develop.
We do not want to take the pressure off ArenaNet for not having an in game tool, that is the whole problem, it is clear the players want one there is a website built just for LFG. More pressure we put on them the sooner we get an answer on when they will add their own. Remember the last dev post about a LFG tool was that they had no intentions of working on one in the foreseeable future which is a big problem.
Once again people miss the fact that we the players should not need to use an outside source for something that should be in the game. I understand players who push gw2lfg are trying to help the community but it is also letting ArenaNet be lazy in developing their own in game LFG tool
Yeah I’d just like to point out that I have not been able to do a single dungeon yet due to real life constraints and more importantly being forced to rely on others.
Can we just have some henchmen like the old days so people who don’t feel like pugging for an hour can just get a dungeon out of the way? I mean I still haven’t even seen the inside of the first one yet.
I don’t WANT to play with other players, I hate being forced to play with other players, I can’t get tokens unless I do a dungeon, I can’t do a dungeon because there’s no one to do a dungeon with.
This is idiotic and is kind of ruining this aspect of the game for me.
If you don’t want to play with other people a MMO is not for you, that said if there was a LFG tool that helped form members across all servers it would greatly shorten the time you have to waste waiting to actually do the dungeon
