Siege Troll Discussion

in WvW

ghtchill.7613

First off, thank you John and Anet for finally posting a thread on this issue. I haven’t had time to read all 6 pages and I’m on my way to work, so can’t say much, but I was excited to see this thread. This is a tough problem to combat through game mechanics as I am sure you see. I hope you do come up with a workable solution, however in the meantime, I hope you have banned the most infamous offenders while working towards a programmed deterrent. Anet knows who the most dedicated siege trolls are because they have been reported by many people during this season and last.

Please ban these guys.

Thanks again John. Your time and attention to this issue is greatly appreciated by the vast majority of the WvW community.

Mawdrey 2 is the real problem

I’m with Xiahou. I’m not really interested in the back piece, perhaps I’ll make it one day…or not. I’m pretty sure I can get along in the game just fine without it. I’ve never done fractals or even a dungeon in almost 2 years of playing this game. I had enough of that in other MMOs. I do enjoy the fact that game gives people other options, although WvW needs something new. I also enjoy making a ton of money from a craftable item finally! It helps with leveling the the crafts I don’t have to 500 yet.

I have leveled all the crafts to 400 and now have 3 of them at 500. So I use the bloodstone, dragonite and fragments I get to make ascended gear…something actually useful. I have never had to purchase an additional bank slot to keep it in.

Lasica, are you one of these players that loves to show everyone how much stuff you have, like the ones in the ambrite weapons threads? Why don’t you refine all that and clear up the space in your bank? Once you have a stack of 250 each, even with 6 80s (I have 6 going on 7) you won’t need more. I use what I need and throw the rest out.

So, regarding the back piece…thanks Anet for giving me something I can make and actually make some money for a change.

I don't have anything to wear for the party

Exactly my thought as soon as I was introduced as the Commander of the Pact…in my dusty armor fresh from a Dry Top sand storm. I should have a special dress ceremonial Commander of the Pact outfit. And LOL even in my armor and weapons some silly human noble mistakes me as a server! Silly Humans!

You have to do Fractals to complete this next step for the back item? I just did the Part 2 last night and had to log right after so I didn’t look into what was required for the components. I’ve never been in Fractals in almost 2 years of playing this game! I’ve never been in a dungeon for that matter. I’ve spent most of my time leveling alts and WvW. I’m taking a break from WvW because it’s become stale, so I am taking it easy and actually doing the LS for a change.

Oh kitten! Fractals! Help!!!!!

This last chapter is really good (spoilers)

in Living World

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

I agree. This chapter was overall pretty enjoyable. I have to admit though I found the party investigation a bit tedious. It’s the one part I’m not looking forward to repeating, although I enjoyed being introduced as the Commander of the Pact. I remember thinking though that perhaps the instance should have given me some nice uniform/outfit or something to wear other than the armor I just used to fight in Dry Top. I laughed at the part where one Noble mistakes me for a server, I guess they missed the large long bow on my back and armor…hmmm.

The last boss was fun. There’s a whole lot of AOE for sure, but I only died by accidentally dodging off the ramps, like so many others. I look forward to repeating that fight on my other characters, if I can push myself through the tedious party again. I really wish we could skip ahead once doing it the first time.

Other than that, great job!

Achievements are way too hard

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

I’ve done a couple of the achievements (for the first episode), but have stopped for the time being. I just cant stand redoing the entire story over just for the achievements. But, they will be around for a while, so perhaps I’ll do them all at some point…but only on 1 of my 80s.

Also, I agree with those that we should be able to skip through the tedious clicking and dialogue after we did it the first time. It would be nice to be able to enter any section of the story with any of my characters at any point. That way I could use different toons for different tasks.

This! This above all else is why he has to die! I’d really like to ask the writer of the PS why they thought it was a good idea to have him say this at the beginning of every fight. I often thought, “yeah I know Trahearne, because I’ll have to rez you in about 30 seconds…again!”.

This is My Story - Tale of Love & Heartbreak

in Living World

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

Thanks for linking that, it was interesting. One aspect of the article that caught my attention was that they cut (saved) on marketing. This is something I’ve noticed with GW2, the lack of “splash” when releasing new content. Why would NCsoft cut marketing when trying to sustain and grow their “flagship” product? That’s never really a good idea. It was those WoW commercials featuring Ozzy Osbourne that prompted my wife to start playing that game, and then later myself. We played for a couple of years, until as you mention, they seemed to go astray. Point is, they made a marketing splash, and kept it up for every new release.

I was surprised however to read that Lineage was NCsoft’s “most improved product” and it’s revenue was going up and exceeding GW2’s latest revenue. I briefly played this game some years ago, and although I liked the races/characters and graphics, I found it horribly grindy. I wonder what changed.

But to your OP, I can see why your are disappointed. They did promise this was YOUR story, and that changed. My wife complained about the same thing as she played through the personal story. It has never bothered me much, but she was disappointed with it. It’s understandable.

One small thing though, before I wish you luck in finding that new game, it’s NORN not Nord! The Nord are in that other game.

Good luck in your search.

Interesting. Perhaps Braham gets taken out while saving Taimi, possibly in a history repeating itself scenario. Eir apparently couldn’t save another Asura (cant remember the name) with Destiny’s Edge, perhaps this time her son does save Taimi, but doesn’t make it out alive? Just a thought…

The other scene seems to feature a group of 5 players. Possibly open world, or even dungeon type instance requiring a 5 man group?

Rytlock Ritual End Fight

in Living World

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

This was not too hard. I agree with those that say that it wasn’t too hard and not too easy. I did it on my Warrior first and she’s very tough so could easily withstand the disco balls hitting her, probably took 15 mins honestly. I did it with my Ranger next (mostly Knights and some Zerker) and I went down a couple of times to the disco balls of flame, and even got hit by another just as I was about to get up, but did it in about the same amount of time…maybe a couple minutes more due to mender making it before I recovered from several downs due to disco ball waves.

On my ranger though it was a little weird, like the menders seemed to come quicker. I spent about half the fight by the door, and then I headed to the side of the statue to dps it with S/W and GS. I would have to run back to grab a mender, but they are easy to trap and take down provided you are not dodging a disco ball. I could dps down the statue pretty well, kill ghosts until Rytlok charges up the sword and then dps like hell. I got hit by a couple more disco balls in the last phase, but got it done. I’m wondering what it would be like with spirits up…

Next I am trying it on my Guardian and then my Necro. I expect the toughest ones will be my Thief and Ele, because they are squishy.

Anyway, it’s not too hard, and all in all quite enjoyable. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Yeah…there’s more than just the feet that bothers me about the male norn proportions, but that right there is a BIG one. I love my norn, but they are all female for this reason. I wish I could have some male norn but the proportion oddities bug me too much.

Alternately (apologize for this tangent) my only human character is male because the human female body styles bug me as well.

I don’t think that hair style exists in game now. I think I read quite a while ago on a similar thread that this particular hair style was an early version that never made it into the final version of the game for some reason. It’s certainly not one of the new ones. Too bad it’s not available, I’d buy it.

I really wish we could obtain these armors and or outfits as well…very Norn looking. But, on the same note I’d also like to see other armors from NPCs available such as the Risen High Priestess of Lyssa or others for example.

When I was new to the game and went to my first temple battle as an 80 I was hoping the armors I knew could be obtained would fit the temple, but sadly I learned they didn’t, and all the temple armors looked exactly the same.

I’d love to have the Priestess of Lyssa outfit for my Norn as well. It would great on my female Norn Necro and Ele.

Too much Single-Player content

in Living World

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

There’s enough content that requires group play. I played WOW for years and I honestly became weary of the constant grouping for raids because there was literally no other way to “enjoy” the game after level 80…

I have yet to complete my PS on any of my 6 level 80 characters, because I guess I arrived late and anybody who has done the last story dungeon does not want to do it again. Why, after soloing my way through this PS, should I be required to find a group to complete it? Not to mention that this particular story instance is apparently not one that invites re playability.

There’s lots of dungeons and lots of open group play in the game, in PVE, PVP, and WvW. Let me complete my PS and LS stories without having to look for a group.

Just my 2 cents…

The dialogue and voice acting are frustrating

in Living World

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

DougM, I have my own issues with the dialogue, mostly finding it a bit dry at times, but I have no issue with Kasmeer saying she’d like to get to know Marjory’s sister better during a time of dire impending circumstances.

It’s a very narrow POV to think that nobody should ever express a thought outside of their current situation regardless of it’s importance. There are many real world examples of people doing so. Surely you may have noticed some in your own real life. Certainly, historically, such thoughts were common…from the WWII soldier leaving in a day for an unknown mission with unknown consequences, from which he may not return, thinking he’d like to get to know that girl in the pub better. You get the picture.

Maybe Kas was thinking of the threesome, who knows. Point is, requiring characters in a story to only express thoughts of their main going concern is completely unrealistic, even from a game story telling POV.

Spartan Style Armor help

in Norn

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I forgot to edit later on about it being either the more traditional looking spartan armor or the 300 armor since I like both armor designs. Thanks everyone so far.;

Good luck in your search. Unfortunately Anet has not provided quite enough armor types that would completely suit a historically Grecian bronze age soldier look or a 300 look. Footwear for heavy armor is either too primitive or too middle ages in design, for example. You can get close to what you are looking for, if you are willing to put up with a few inaccuracies.

If you want to go less 300 look, then use the T2 Eagle legs and chest. The T2 boots and gloves work as well, I think. For her head, the Vigil helmet is the obvious choice. Shoulders could also be Vigil as well but there are a variety that would work fine.

Edit: Also try Barbaric and Pit Fighter pieces.

Tier 3 Light Cultural Leggings - sad face :(

in Norn

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

:( Sad face indeed! Personally, I think the T3 light cultural needs a revamp. It’s fairly ugly and the presence of jewels that can’t be changed make it even worse. I rarely see people wearing the T3 light cultural actually, which is too bad.

i’ve come across a few other pieces in-game (Stately chest, Masquerade gloves for instance) with jewels that cant be changed. Apparently an Anet designer has a fetish for a particular hue of gem. Adding jewels is a cool idea but one should be able to at least colour them as they would like.

Overall, however, I would love to see T3 light cultural redesigned.

Gold League NA Analysis: Better to lose?

in WvW

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

The swiss style obviously doesn’t work for Gold NA currently. Under this design SOS, for example, is pretty much guaranteed at least 29 points, without having to put in much effort and without ever beating one of the T1 servers. In contrast, the T1 servers would have to fight each other hard, while SOS gets a relatively easy ride due to the player/coverage disparity between the T2 servers.

In response, TC/JQ came up with a smarter strategy. Under this strategy neither BG or SOS are guaranteed easy 1st and 2nd placements. Having said that, it’s not a good tournament concept for a league with 6 servers.

Personally I think they should scrap the seasonal tournament idea altogether unless they can come up with a workable model that perhaps drops leagues and uses a different scoring system.

Rangers, why specifically do you hate them.

in WvW

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

Because warriors do more damage, have more cc, remove more conditions, have more stability/invulnerabilty/block, and have more innate tankiness? Why would anyone want a melee ranger in a group over a guardian or warrior? Why would anyone want a range using ranger over an ele, necro, or memser? They wouldn’t. Just because you can put on tanky gear, swing your sword, and tag enemies in a zerg doesn’t mean you’re helping out as much as other classes.

also lol @ spirits in wvw group play

Well now hold on a second. I have a long standing Ranger and have my issues with the current design, however, the guy you are responding to clearly says he enjoys doing what he does as a Ranger in a zerg.

Aside from the the obvious question of why you would have an issue with that, you seem to also disregard his contribution to the fight. So, based on that notion you proceed to tell him nobody wants him in a zerg. So to you his contribution, snidely putting his enjoyment aside, means nothing. Sad attitude, and not helpful. I could use several words to describe that attitude but my post would be deleted.

First, last time I checked there are no map chat calls specifying classes for a WvW zerg, as there are for dungeons for instance. Anybody can join a zerg, and do, and should continue to do so.

Second, the topic is why WvW players hate Rangers specifically. In your own post you acknowledge this poster is producing a result, yet it seems you hate his class because he’s not producing the result you think he should be. Again, that’s not the fault of the player. He enjoys his class regardless…you don’t, but he isn’t at fault for the class flaws.

In a way I agree with you in principal , apart for your dismissal of this posters stated enjoyment. Rangers are not what they should be. In reality, they aren’t “as advertised”. I think they easily could be, and easily could bring the benefits you and I think they should bring, but to blame the player is the wrong tactic. Put the criticism where it belongs, contribute to the overall benefit…blame Anet. Tell Anet you want your Rangers as advertised.

Rangers, why specifically do you hate them.

in WvW

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

Reason I don’t like rangers is the lame playstyle of 9 of 10 rangers I come across. You can be deadly as a beast, yet most chose to stand in one spot, not move the whole fight and swapping weapons? Forget it.

Bunker ranger trying to kill me with direct dmg? The result is same as with any medium class, you can’t go tanky and still hit hard.

Thieves kill you all the time? You have the advantage of your channeled skills still hitting a thief that stealths up.

So until rangers learn to move and use their skills actively, it’s 9 free kills for me.

Agreed. I’d say your estimate off 9 out of 10 is way high, and a bit unfair, but I get your point. Personally I move a lot on my Ranger and also swap weapons (to GS or S/WH) and I have seen plenty of other Rangers do the same. It’s just harder to be that very skilled player on a Ranger, IMO, until Anet makes some changes to the class and allows the Ranger to be what it should be.

TC

Rangers, why specifically do you hate them.

in WvW

Posted by: ghtchill.7613

ghtchill.7613

To even play in WvW as a Ranger I had to sacrifice a lot of damage to be survivable enough and then there wasn’t much a point. In a large group I could be somewhat useful providing ranged pressure at a choke, but as many have said there are classes that do that better. Perhaps if they lowered the barrage cd and make it not root us to finish, it would be more useful. And of course, as many have said, the pet is absolutely useless in large group/zerg. I have never ever had an issue with Ranger’s pets while playing one of my other 80s. I don’t even notice them, or quickly kill them…but usually I barely see them.

You make valid points; though I think ranged pets survive a lot easier. They still are stupid and take 30 years to hit anyone though. They need a consistent ranged aoe pet.

But I’m curious at the “sacrifice damage to be survivable in wvw part” complaint that’s been floating around here. Most classes for zergplay have to do that too. 0/5/30/30/5 is pretty standard for zerg guardians even though it does terrible damage and is very selfish compared to other guardian builds but it makes them bricks that can give whatever support they can. I suppose that has a purpose though, being the brick. But in any case, pvt is generally stressed in large scale wvw and we generally call dps zerkers “rallybots”. Plus the standard is usually to stack anyways so you can be close for boons. (which also makes range pretty lacking in surviving, honestly).

From what I gather though, the main advantage of classes like the guardian is that their traits can be gained with minimal investment. For example 5 in virtues offers a lot more support by turning virtue activation into giving a lot more useful boons. 5 in honor gives vigor on crit and synergizes with the 15 honor minor which heals on dodge. These traits all work together.

Ranger adept traits are mostly, quite bad or selfish and you generally have to trait much higher into the tree to get anything done. The synergy between the minors is well… pretty meh. Well, wilderness survival is good, but it’s also all selfish stuff… In essence, these things are really good in small scale, but it doesn’t make that big of a difference the bigger the numbers are.

Well what I mean is that, to me, as a “Archer” class I should be bringing speed (mobility) and high damage to the field. Unfortunately it’s much much harder to do with the current Ranger builds and be survivable enough against the other classes. It’s not impossible, and some people are good at it, but they are few. Yes my Guardian is tanky, but brings a lot of support and is a must in the current zerg meta.

You bring up a good point however, one that has crossed my mind many times and seems to be one of the biggest examples of “imbalance” in the game; the fact that a heavy armor melee class, like a warrior, also has the highest (or second highest after maybe a thief) mobility in the game. It makes no sense. On top of that, they also give the Warrior a long bow and a RIFLE! Again, makes no sense.

The real reason that people “hate” Rangers is because they have been handi-capped in a lot of ways and haven’t been allowed to be what they should be by the developers, plus, are more difficult to play to be as effective (or more) than any other class. This lends to the perception that the Ranger is mostly “useless”. The fact that a Warrior is more mobile and can even do more damage and lend more help to a large group, even with ranged weapons, tells us that Anet have not currently designed the Ranger properly. We should be highly mobile and hard hitting. We can be, but as someone else said, Rangers with that level of skill are rare.

Personally, Anet can take the longbow and rifle (along with its skills), as well as the high mobility, away from my Warrior and give these things to the class that should have them – my Ranger. I don’t think my Warrior would mind.

I’ve had my Ranger for a long time. She was my second 80 and mostly leveled in WvW (along with crafting and personal story). I rarely use my Ranger in WvW anymore, if at all. I have an 80 Guard, Warrior, Necro and Thief for WvW. I totally agree that in a zerg Rangers do not bring enough to the table. I am hoping to play more small group in the future, but it won’t be with my Ranger, it will be with my Thief who I feel is better.

To even play in WvW as a Ranger I had to sacrifice a lot of damage to be survivable enough and then there wasn’t much a point. In a large group I could be somewhat useful providing ranged pressure at a choke, but as many have said there are classes that do that better.

I seriously wish Anet would do something more for the Rangers to make them more useful in WvW. So sadly, for me, I stick to farming (solo) PVE and PVE Champ trains with my Ranger now.

Oh also, I totally agree with the idea of being able to stow the pet and still get the damage….that would be great. Anet, please look into it.

Haha, you totally got us there! Yeah, we on TC during SEA time outnumber the enemy most of the time and kind of feel bad about it. That’s why I said you guys need to recruit more.

;)

BA DUM TSS
trying not to get infracted because all caps trying not to get infracted because all caps

also it looks like i could have a successful career by getting a dollar for every open field ac dropped by jq even if they outnumber the enemy

Heck, I’d be a rich man if I got a nickle everytime TC ran from us with equal numbers. I remember when I used to be on TC, we used to fight, not run, must be sad times on TC now with just the fair weather militia to back you up, but they don’t show up when a T1 server is in the match up do they? Sad indeed, I remember someone on TC telling your vets to recruit before seasons started, and your vets saying that the militia would step up and that you all could count on that militia. Are they stepping up and showing up? I hope so, we want more bags, nom nom nom….

Dear JQ dude…Go to BREAD, you’re drunk!

Most Worthless? Puzzle Jumpers, regardless of class.

+1 broha!

That out of the way I’m curious to know the OP’s motivation. I’d like to know because honestly these types of threads vex me….they really vex me. I’m not easy to vex, but I am vexed.

I suppose if the definition of “useless” simply refers to classes that can’t throw out a lot of AOE or support like a warrior, necro or guardian, then I suppose you could call Rangers “useless” to a zerg.

In other words all classes should have similar abilities and do similar things in a zerg or they shouldn’t be there? Granted Ranger does have a few issues that Anet is promising to address, but I still enjoy my Ranger and don’t think I’m being useless while in a zerg. Far from it, I’m usually killing a lot of enemy as long as I stay out of trouble.

All classes have their uses in WvW if played right. I have an 80 Ranger, Guardian and Warrior and find them all useful in different ways. Unfortunately a lot of the people with the perception that Rangers are useless have never played a level 80 Ranger consistently in WvW and do not know how to play a Ranger. But I guess perception becomes reality…

Threads like this one just perpetuate the perception and aren’t generally helpful to contributing to the idea of balancing teams/zergs/groups with a mixture of all classes that use their unique skill sets to form an effective fighting force.

JQ/TC/Maguuma 11/1/13 - Week 3

And now for story time. It was a bright and sunny day on Mags BL when we visited. Now JQ had most of the map and were determined to erase anything TC established on that BL…

So after our slender presence was zerged out of the spawn tower, TC proceeded to skirmish the large (well la lot larger than us) JQ group. We rushed and fell back and rushed and fell back. We proceeded to do this until about 5 or 6 were killed instantly by Legendary Defenders. So, we persisted all 8-10 of us taunting them until lo and behold they chased, the whole bunch…

Cut to punch line, I have never seen an entire “zerg” get wiped by Legendary Defenders or ever heard so many /laughs go off at the same time. I was stunned to see at least 10-12 bags magically show up by my position. I was like, “did they really just do that! WTF?”

I didn’t take screen shots (I rarely do) or have this fraps thing going (hopefully someone did), but I wondered…JQ zerg, were you just goofing or were there really that many noobs in that big of a group? Please tell me. I will give you the benefit of the doubt of goofing, preferably.

Anyway, funniest moment of the match.

Its a cherished pastime in JQ, to see how far you can get into someones spawn/how many times you can reach the steps when it ports you back out.

Also, you make me feel like Mancen! I wanna Mance the night away!

So goofin then? That was funny. We haven’t had enough to laugh about, what with JQ map queues coming to our Garri and all. Thanks for the LOLs.

One guy made it to the top of the stairs, only to be mercilessly killed by invulnerable defenders…lol.

I think my personal best was being teleported out twice and making it back to steps before dieing.

That is impressive. LOL. You should do that more. Let’s make it a thing, JQ spends the rest of its time this week trying to see how many make it into our spawn and survive. Forget those towers, keeps and camps….you have enough points…we want lawlz!

We could RP as TC and surely the Legendary Defenders would let us through!

While doing RP walk? Yeeeees! Dooo it!
