Soon: “WTS spot in my server’s behemoth event, 5g”
(edited by havoc.8569)
This new reduced player limit allowed in zones (or just event zones?) is not the solution to chest event lag. My server had overflows during all dragon/behemoth events for the entire day. Unless you were camping an event 30-60 minutes in advance, you were not getting in, even at 4 am server time. And it’s a gosh darn weekday still. Having to deal with lag was 10x better than this non-stop overflow nonsense.
Yesterday I did not see a single overflow during my event runs. Today it was 90% overflows. I’ve done one dragon in an overflow (out of like 10 overflows), and zero on my home server. Bring back the lag if this is the alternative.
I have the word purple in my name and of course my armor is all shades of purple.
Yeah why did they fix an obviously OP food? My entire build revolved around it! One piece of food was the only thing that kept my glass behind alive! Surely that doesn’t deserve a nerf…
It’s pretty obvious food was never suppose to have that kind of effect. The fact that people fell on such a crutch and now are whining incessantly over it is just shows how ridiculous it was . You should be glad you weren’t banned for exploiting, just like the karma weapon fiasco. No game designer would have knowingly added such a thing to the game. I hope the Devs are just reading these threads and having a chuckle.

They fixed it by making it worse. Seriously we’ve all gotten used to this “bug”, to the point where this fix seems like a bug. A horrible, horrible bug.
It’s an issue because PvE engineers have been spamming heal key + 5 since the game launched. Now when we do that all of a sudden we’re using our weapon 5 skill. Also the delay means less efficient swiftness stacking.
I have grenade kit too, but I NEVER use grenade kit to keep swiftness up because it was a pain in the butt compared to med kit.
After getting little to no fixes and huge nerfs last round, do they really want to continue doing things that make people want to play their engineers less? It’s already the least played class. Yes its just an annoyance… an annoyance to remind me I have other classes I can play.

Same issue. Talked to Tixx (probably in an overflow), clicked the loot icon dialogue, never got anything (lots of room in inventory). Chest shows open both in overflow and my server’s LA.
Never spoke to any NPC in the Mists, I only use it to get to LA.

“We want the Warrior to be capable of good melee damage in a sturdy body. They can still do some decent damage at range.”
ANET is so far off in balancing the classes its amazing. There is no way you can justify the nerf when there are classes out there that are astronomically better.
wait, i don’t get it, what was special in that video?
edit – do you want me to track down and kill that dude? i’m pretty sure i’m fighting blackgate atm.
Since we’re talking about grenades here, are you implying you can kill a ranged class in pvp with grenades? I’d like to see you kill my warrior with grenades.
p.s.: It won’t happen
Grenades do jack squat underwater unless the target is 1) not moving and 2) against solid surface.
If the target is moving away from you (or even perpendicular), the grenades will miss. If the target is not against a surface, 1-2 of the grenades will go right past them doing nothing.
To conclude, do not use grenades underwater.
They have a few more classes to nerf, then they will roll out with a class swap item in the gem store. $$$ Cha-Ching $$$
Only a mere $25 to restart enjoying the game as everyone’s favorite Guardian or Thief.
Just play a Thief. If they haven’t nerfed their damage now, they never will.
Thieves and warriors got buffed, yay!
Well , they buffed their more underwhelming weapons (longbow, pistol respectively).
If only engineering kits got that kind of treatment. Nope just nerf the only good one down to the level of the others and call it a day.
Highest damage assuming every thing hits, which is a BIG assumption. I’d like to think I have gotten pretty good at leading targets with grenades and I still miss 30% of the time on anything that moves, and only if they’re crippled the entire time. If they’re not crippled and chasing people around, its more like 70% miss rate.
Hell even IF the target is not moving, you are not guaranteed to have all 3 grenades hit unless the target is massive.
Guardian or thief, everyone GOGOGO.
What other range weapon misses completely every time a mob changes direction (besides flamethrower LOL)? What other class weapon takes up to 3 seconds to register damage (in a 10s encounter you’re doing nothing for 30% of that time). What other weapon loses DPS dramatically (down to zero at times) if the user has to stay mobile? Anet, please enlighten me.
And I never understood why grenades were nerfed in PvP. Who even uses grenades in tPvP? How do you even hit an actual human being capable of unpredictable movements, besides random luck? I would like to meet these players who were making grenades OP in tpvp, and get next week’s lotto numbers from them.

The great lie of engineers: If you want use kits’ skills, you must do extra clicks.
The slowness kills the versatility.
Precisely the reason I dont use EG for the heal. By the time I switch to it, use the skill, and and the healing finally starts, whoever needed it is either dead or healed up or not standing in the AOE anymore.
Just craft up a warrior to lvl 80…
Lol no. Go guardian for straight up PvE facerolling. Go thief for facerolling with a twist (stealth to bypass content, permanent blind, etc).
Bonus: Both also faceroll pvp
Do the brilliant designers at Anet realize grenade DPS isn’t just what you see on the tooltip? Do you realize grenades can do ZERO damage depending on whats going on? We already have an offset to the high DPS of grenades, its called mobs walking out of the ****ing AOE. It’s called having zero DPS while we have to dodge things (in most cases unless you can just circle the target at the same radius).
The fact that it gives us carpal tunnel is another thing no other class has to deal with.
Whatever, I’ll just go make a Guardian like everyone else. Happy?
So nerf the only kit they buts eng on par with other classes…..makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense:
Cause they plan to make kits scale with weapon damage too – Confirmed by a red post
Cmon, keep up, people! You’re all so behind the curve.
So why the heck did we get nerfed before this planned offset was even in place? I’m now certain Anet just likes to kitten everyone off.
thiefs and mesmers teleporting away when you try to heal them when they are in no immediate danger of death.
This this this. Half the time they teleport to their deaths. Eevry time someone teleports when they were perfectly safe, I secretly pray they end up in a big AOE.
Same thing goes for female humans wearing heavy armor. The shoulders look too small, while the boots look too big. Please make the shoulders closer to the size of norn females, and take away the norn female-sized boots.
Was running HotW today. Completed Path 1 around 6:30 pm EST, before daily reset. Then did Path 3 shortly after reset, followed by Path 1 again and finished both at 8:15 pm. I only received 30 tokens for Path 1. I did not run Path 1 twice in a row, nor did I run 5 paths in 2 hours or w/e that one was. Why did I get the 50% DR hit?
No everyone has time or wants to spend any more time than they have to in a dungeon. If you want to farm mobs, then go farm mobs. If you want to farm mobs and do dungeons, well that’s your problem. The fact that you’re using magic find gear makes me even less likely to give a kitten about what you want to do.
If the majority in the group decides to skip, then that’s all there is to it

It’s pretty funny, and so easy to spot. I was at Cursed Shore zone in. Saw a bunch of random name characters pop up then disappear (oh they must have used a WP). Shortly after they reappeared in front of me again, at the same spot, and it wasn’t under a WP. How… ohhhhh
Did you log on that day?
No? Awww poor you, here’s a chest.
Yes? Then you must have looted a chest, you get nothing! (in Willy Wonka voice)
But what about the people who disconnected? Shut up.
So cleansing burst used to be instant condition removal, when did they change it? Because as of right now it NEVER removes even a single condition for me, I just figured they broke it and it would eventually be fixed. Really getting annoying having zero condition removal without speccing alchemy for 409.
It’s a bug that’s always been here. Sometimes it activates instantly, sometimes it doesnt at all, or there’s a delay, or its still on cooldown but shows like its not, or the animation doesn’t show… so many things that make it completely unreliable. Same thing with flame turret and the smoke.
I think they said they’re working on it. My problem is they didn’t realize this would be an issue until after the backlash. It’s scary when devs are this out of touch. Doesn’t bode well for the future.
see that’s the thing. i do apprecaite the fact that ANet is trying to do something different, and release new content every month, for a f2p game? that’s pretty darn awesome.
I hope you’re joking. Have you played other F2Ps before? The whole business of F2P is constant events to peddle new shines in the store. I’m not saying it’s wrong, they have to run a business, but you seem to think Anet is doing charity work or something.
Offensive slot = **** now I have to waste extra relics to buy the 225 one.
There’s absolutely no reason why there isn’t an offensive only infusion for 75 relics. Offensive offers no benefit over defensive. Why is offensive treated like omni-stat?

I’m talking about the shard farm that you even mentioned. You said the average joe cant get Arah armor, but you’re wrong. People have been doing easy shard runs since the beginning to get a full armor sets. Arah armor doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.
I just meant plenty of people have exploited Arah in the past, so seeing people with Arah armor doesn’t mean anything because you dont know how they got it. It’s not some prestige armor so TC should stop complaining as if it were.
Today i was doing level 10 fractals to get more rings. I had 10 agony resistance. From what it says at wikipedia i should get 0 damage at level 10 from agony. But jade maw was able to erase my whole hp pool when it used agony. I think there is a problem with agony calculations…
Did you forget to wear your rings or something? 10 resist should enough to take no damage from Maw on 10. It definitely won’t come close to killing you. Hell you can live with 0 resist if you were full HP and used a heal (might go into downed stat though).
I feel like people forget that the game has been out for less than 5 months.
I feel like people forget Anet has dozens of other games to learn from, all of which have been out for years and years. Also their own game GW1.
When the game first came out, I remember u could get shards from chest in Arah, obviously alot of ppl started jus farming the chest instead of finishing the full dungeon, and evenutally it was patched.
Somehow when Anet implemented the new dungeon reward system, they failed to realise a simple fact that ppl is gona farm shard the same way again if u allow champ and bosses to drop bags that contains shard.
This is really a bad thing cuz it deminishs the value of Arah armor and weapon value, Arah used to b a dungeon with some challenge and u wil need to work hard in order to get its armor set, but now every avarage joe can get it with ease as long as he or she put in the time for mindless grinding, it is really not fair for ppl who hav put in the efford to learn and beat the dungeon properly.
You mean people who have put in the effort to exploit the dungeon early? People were already decked out in Arah armor from those early shard runs. Sorry but having Arah armor doesn’t mean you’re 1337, it just means you exploited Arah instead of CoF as far as I’m concerned. Arah armor is right behind CoF armor in noob level.
I disagree. Usually, those events are quite funny and provide good loots. If they don’t close the doors, nobody will do them, which is a pain and not funny.
Why would anyone want to do those events besides to get into the dungeon? If you want to kill waves of stuff, go to Orr… you’ll get more T6 loot. I have never seen a single person want to do those gate events just for the sake of doing them.
These pointless events just make running old dungeons even more of a hassle than they already are (thanks to the fractal blackhole). I know they mean well, but anything that repeats just becomes a grind. When has anyone ever went “Ohhhh battle for gates of CoF for the 100th time, I feel so immersed!” The second time I had to do that crap I was completely over it.
So if you could already farm 3-5g an hour in other spots, what reason did they have to nerf this? Was this easier then 5 people in MF gear running in a circle 1-shotting world mobs? Certainly not.
Stop trying to turn a casual game into something else.
I was curious so went into dredge and found the fake wall after 15 minutes of looking. Ran over to Ascalon map, got inside, but didn’t see the vets that normally follow you. I ran all over too, killed whatever I could, even killed dulfy.
Oh and to add to the bugs:
Dredge Fractal: If you jump on to the ice in the middle of the boss room as your group is teleporting to the next fractal, you will be left behind (similar to holding hammer as your group teleports out of cliffside fractal). Reviving at checkpoint puts you back into the correct fractal.

Omg spoilers, you’re getting coal.
How is agony brilliant when it was done by developers 10 years ago, and generally disliked and phased out?
Got booted and cant log in now.
NM its working for me now.
If you jump over barricade in Ascalon do you still get NPC support?
Yes. Like all NPCs that follow you, they will teleport to you when you get out of range, even if they are dead. If they aggro something they aren’t suppose to, you just have to wait until they die.
Finally! DROPS! Thank you. Hopefully it’s a chance-to-drop system, not a 100% guaranteed weapon drop?
Edit: oh, and please, rework your existing dungeons with the implementation of this system in mind. Makes things so much more fun and worth doing. I hate the token system.
Not sure if sarcastic or Anet employee.
grenade engineers
This is a build, not a profession, every build isn’t well suited for every situation. As a thief I don’t use my standard weapon set on this boss either.
Yeah the only build that actually does damage. It’s either grenade for damage, elixirs for support, or some kitten build because Anet won’t fix half the classes in the game.
I’m not saying I’m the only one affected. I’m saying its stupid to force people to use some subpar setup on a boss that’s already overtuned compared to other bosses.
RNG rings is easily the worst time I’ve had with this game. It killed any desire to play, including doing things not even related to fractals. I dont want to play my alts, I dont want to continue farming for my legendary, I just dont want to click on that GW2 icon at all.
At this point I’ll settle for a ring with NO stats, just an infuse slot. This is the opposite of fun. No ring again today doing 10, and really not in the mood for 20. Wasted 5 hours trying to do 20 yesterday, got grawl for 3rd fractal EVERYTIME and not one group could stay alive during his transitions.
Seems like all the decent players have either gotten lucky and passed this junk, or quit.
Grawl shaman is even more overtuned. Way too many lava spawns with way too much health. Also the whole concept of the fight is just completely unfair for a grenade engineers. I get carpal tunnel doing that boss.

I have to point out that all mmo rng have problems with steak of bad or good luck, because they usually are not true rng system, but what they call in mathematics “pseudo random” system, and that is why some people after so many run never get anything, and other drop all the time. Pseudo random system have that exact problem of creating more string of bad or good luck than it should. This is not something new in mmo, in fact it happen at pretty much each new mmo, and is the source of the problem.
Name a modern MMO where you can’t even pass gear you dont need to someone who does, or at least have a group roll so you can see when you get ****ed by RNG (oh I rolled a 1, oh well) instead of getting just slapped by an invisible force.
You’re right, this is not something new in MMOs. This is something most developers have been going away from for years now. Anet already had a token system with their original dungeons that did away with this RNG nonsense, which is what makes this regression back to RNG all the more frustrating. You can argue for and against the gated content issue, but this RNG thing is just archaic. Fire the person who gave this the go because they clearly have no clue about game design in 2012.
(edited by havoc.8569)
I think they just want to turn this into an 8 year old MMO. Gated content and RNG progression. So everything is right on track.
Also quit complaining about the wrong stats when there are people who haven’t even seen 1 ring yet. The wrong stats doesn’t outright kill you during a boss fight. 1st 1st world problems.
(edited by havoc.8569)
So find someone who’s an aggro magnet and then have them down-state tank.
Nothing during my 10 run tonight, trying 20. If nothing I might just take a long break. This is just sucking all the fun out.
