Just to clarify:
It’s actually significantly cheaper than a sub fee. The $20 you spend is the initial cost. It could also cost $10 + Gold, or no money at all if you have enough gold.
Once you have a server, it costs 480 gems for 20 days, 960 for 40 days, 1440 for 60 days. That’s less than $10/mo if only one person is supporting the server. Anyone can apply time to servers. Also, don’t forget you can convert gold to gems.

Here I was, trying to condense all my suggestions in an easy-to-read bullet point format, and now you want me to limit it even further with separate issues and the how-to’s? You think I want to spend 5 days worth of making posts of every individual suggestion with all the benefits, potential risk factors and why it should be so-and-so? Are you paying me?
Why should I bother with more restrictions when these CDI topics are all a farce anyway? You guys knew the Ranger has had severe issues since launch and now we are called upon to fix your game?
So I am just going to copy-paste my earlier post as I don’t have time to suddenly translate all my suggestions and follow a ‘format’ like it’s a board-meeting. My list is easy enough to understand and I don’t need to explain every single issue in a multi-stage format. Sorry to be blunt but this is your game, so please deal with it.
Because the more restrictions they add and the more formatted every post looks the easier it is to sort them into categories and summarily dismiss those they don’t like. I’m sure they could get some underpaid temps and interns to do it though seeing as none fo the suggestions will ever go anywhere.

Personally I’ve always felt that the difficulty scaling in Fractals is a bit redundant. After all, once the creatures have started to one-shot you, does it continue to matter that they keep hitting harder?
It’s almost like I’m talking to an honest to goodness flesh and blood human.
That aside, the pace at which anet adds (permanent and instanced aka real) content is far to slow. Removing randomness would allow for people to work on speedruns and increase replay-ability. RNG has never worked in this game (see engineer elixirs) and should definitely not play a part in dungeons or what are supposed to be skill based encounters.

Also please also be aware that there is a lot of judgment around Scarlet when the arc has not completed yet. I agree with many of the points being made at a foundational level but please don’t assume that the direction of the arc is understood by all just yet.
Chris
I hate to break this to you, but unless she has some magic pseudo science device that’s going to remove the idiot ball from the character, we (I) don’t care.
It’s not like a book or movie where 90% of the way through suddenly we get to see the antagonists point of view and after the conclusion we get to go back from the very beginning and apply that perspective to the events and appreciate the deeper meaning behind everything.
All those story arcs are over and done with never to come again, unloved and unmissed, regardless of any reason scarlet had to mess around with the dredge/norn, charr, southsun and krait. It no longer matters since we won’t be able to back and re experience these (awful) events.
In short; we (I) didn’t care then, we don’t care now, and we’re not going to care no matter what the tramp does next (unless she’s going to use aforementioned idiot ball removing device)
Next time you introduce an infamous genius sociopath antagonist renown and reviled the world over try and make sure the players have heard of them. On second thought, just don’t.

Thief’s survivability is some of the worst in the game if you’re able to catch them.
Catching a thief? What a novel idea! Why hasn’t anyone thought of that before!?
You have gotten what you paid for, all that remains is biweekly gemshop pushing.
Let’s brainstorm some scenarios if we did this, FOR SCIENCE!
If death shroud = survivability, and we allowed necros to have death shroud from the start, then how could that change how necros play? How would this affect certain maps and the balance of those maps? How would this affect the meta? How would this affect other classes?
Also, if we gave necros death shroud, should we give warriors adrenaline? Should we give thieves initiative? Should we give everyone everything they ever wanted?
Ultimately, what I’m looking for is the reasoning, and why you feel this would be a positive change for the game. I’m curious, because it’s easy to say “I want, I want” without saying why.
Because the necromancer lacks other means to mitigate damage. We have no blocks, evades or vigor. None. Everybody else does but us.

Can you explain to us how this is balanced? Right now there is no way for a necromancer to avoid being assist trained and yet we keep getting our survivability nerfed. It makes no sense.

Trash mobs don’t have too much hp, stop making parties with “tanky dps” and they go down very quickly.
That’s just not true. I speed run AC and CoF a lot with a group of 3 glasscannon thieves (pure DPS. C&D for 5k, backstab for 8k.) and either 2 warriors or 1 warrior/1 guardian and we still find that a lot of trash mobs are better skipped because they’re HP sponges.
Really? Trash dies very fast. If they would die even faster they might as well be renamed to rabbits.
Wonderful, I’m happy for you and your group. You can kill the trash mobs and those that choose to skip can skip and we can all live happily ever after without people coming to the forums to complain that other people aren’t playing the game they way they want.

A comment above mentioned how our QA runs things in the best gear, and has some other false statements in it. Our QA run dungeons and test bosses with multiple characters using different gear combinations/levels, and characters who are both level 80 and the dungeon’s base level. As well, we have people throughout the company of varying player skill testing these things before they get pushed out/patched in. After all that, it has to be signed off by design leads who also play it… so there is plenty of balancing and work done on a boss prior to its release into the wild.
So why is everything so bugged/poorly thought out on release? There must be a disconnect in this process.

The key to understanding the understanding issue is in their recent blog on the Living Story. What they have given us so far are ‘teasers’, not actual content. There is also a reference to developers rolling off other projects now available to expand upon the story. The monthly events had to happen as they are a key value proposition for Anet. So, absent the ability to provide actual content, they occurred as ‘teasers’. I would expect the content to be fleshed out more properly over time and this should make the story more understandable. TLDR: You haven’t been able to get it because there has been nothing to get.
Correct.
So a vague and convoluted answer is the correct way to think about a vague and convoluted piece of content?
Basically the devs were busy so they only had enough time to make 2 weeks of content and stretched it out into two months. Now that they’re done fixing minion AI and solving world hunger (pfffffft) we’ll return to our regularly scheduled hitting things til they die.

yet what’s this i see, Arah path 3 has new mobs spawning that were not mentioned in the patch notes, yet no increased rewards from the path itself.
.I did add 4 veterans to path 3 at the start. Having to kill 4 veteran mobs isn’t such an endeavor as to give more rewards for doing it. Considering also the difference between say the Seer path and the Forgotten path, it’s still easier and faster while rewarding the same amount.
I’m going to give you my honest opinion:
Everytime you make changes that aren’t included in notes or “increase difficulty” by upscaling mob hp (without also increasing rewards for the increased TEDIOUSNESS) or double timers (Hello Magg) it makes a statement to me akin to “I hate the playerbase.”
There is no reason not to include the details of every change like that in patch notes, as many other people have said, instead of nerfing the dungeons people do you should examine them and bring other paths up to their level of fun/rewards/time spent.

I want to give them some slack but the very ovbious and glaring errors that appear each time a patch is pushed out (to stop exploiters/people doing speed runs not to enhance the experience for anyone else involved), it’s clear that a minimal amount of QA was done if any at all.
How did they not test the DR code on the new token setup?
How did they not check to see that new tokens stack with old ones/convert old tokens to new ones?
These are elementrary things that should have been adressed or caught early on in this patches QA.
