is magic find from food working?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neural.1824

Neural.1824

so two of my guild mates spent an hour and half grinding one area. they had one with the magic find buff from the pumpkin food (cant remember its name but it came from the Halloween event.) the one with out the buff got more items then the one with. and yes the one with had a magic find of 275 from the buffs while the other had 150 magic find. wondering if this is a fluke or if magic find from buffs is not working?

There is no way to actually prove that Magic Find is or isn’t working, and Arenanet knows that their faithful players will, just as above me, spout the “rng is rng” mantra to cover for it.

I was wondering: I can check with the team, of course, but perhaps the “free play” period was designed to allow people to get into the map, choose their location, and be ready to start a round of songs. If that was eliminated, might there be complaints about how we players are always joining in the middle of a session, which means we’d lose the ability to get maximum rewards? I’m just speculating here, but it crossed my mind.

How about instead of eliminating it, switch it to the front of the game?
Have free to play first.

-Allow’s people ot get organized on the map
-More friendly to new players that may not know how to play
-Longer window for people to get in at the start of things

Well, the sadists at Anet have won. I feel as if part of me has been brutally violated into complete numbness, and that numbness is likely the reason that I feel nothing at this point.
I tried for half a year to play their twisted loot games, playing daily, running dynamic events, dungeons, conquering castles and temples. In the end I have seen my standards slowly degrade and be chipped away with every loot drop containing nothing of importance.
Today I simply gave up, just like Anet fantasizes everyone will do. I took the gold from items I had looted and sold, along with money gained from rewards, and used it to purchase the remaining T6 mats I needed for the Gift of Fortune.
If I ever get a precursor, which likely will simply be purchased as well, my legendary will shine just a bit less now. I likely won’t use it, to be honest. Finishing it now is more of a going-through-the-motions act. I have 3 components to it that are useless without making one. In the end though, instead of crafting something worth looking at proudly, it will serve only as a reminder of how messed up this game is, and using it would merely be a reminder of my failure.
So congratulations Anet, you’ve played the psychology game and managed to push someone to break their own rules in order to obtain something you deliberately placed out of reach.

I am asking them to “flip a switch” and restore the animations exactly as they were before. (Hopefully it’s that easy).

The thing missed here is that the rewards overall are continuously compounding. The more MF you have the more rare the items you get, the more rare the items you get the more MF you produce from salvaging that item and it’s ectos as a result, the more you ectos you have produced the lower the price overall of MF and in the end there actually becomes an MF standard for playing because there is indeed a specific amount of MF, unkown to us, that allows you to reliably acquire items of sufficient rarity to continue the cycle.

It is basically economic suicide.

Do please show me where all those rares and exotics are that I’m supposed to be getting. I’ve been salvaging over 100 items per day for nearly a year and I’m still only at 245%MF. I see rares no more often than my account with 75% MF sees them.

MF does not have remotely the effect that you think it does.

Guild Issues (venting anger).

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neural.1824

Neural.1824

The only reason people represent a guild is because the guild has a social environment that makes them want to represent the guild.
As a guild leader, it’s your responsibility to cultivate that environment through rules and limitations that create a space where people want to gather.
For example, if your main chat is a free-for-all that is often toxic, political (but I repeat myself), or polarizing, odds are you are going to wind up with people who rep other guilds unless they feel like getting into an online **** size contest.
Creating limits (such as a “no politics” rule), and then enforcing them, helps create a place where people can gather and not feel like it’s going to be an argument every time.
I’m sure there are guilds who will claim that they allow their members to talk about politics and everybody is just one big happy family. That’s fine. There are always exceptions. There are people who get precursors for drops too.

Bottom line, if people aren’t repping your guild, there’s a reason for it, and it’s up to the leader(s) to fix it, not the members. Requiring representation is a turn off for many.

Also, if your guild is thriving, and you see people who are constantly not repping. Boot them kindly. Kick them from the guild, send them a mail saying something to the effect of “Just doing maintenance of guild membership to trim people who don’t ever rep. Nothing personal, we’ve sent you an invite in case you want to be part of the guild still.” and let it go from there. If they really want to be part of your guild, they’ll accept the invite.

RNG Conspiracy Conundrum

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neural.1824

Neural.1824

“RNG is RNG”
The main issue here is a lack of understanding regarding the nature of programming. This is a videogame. It is completely possible to program a discriminating loot system, automated or not. Doesn’t mean the company is going to admit it. In fact, from a business standpoint it would be a good idea to have one and keep something like that a secret.

Thank you for having the guts to point this out, even though I’m sure you’ll get flamed for it.

The fact is that from a business standpoint, Anet has a lot to gain by gaming the system, and doing so is not illegal. Nor is it stated anywhere in the EULA that the loot system is fair or impartial. People have simply assumed that Anet is this pristine snowflake of a company that is apparently staffed by individuals who are the most philanthropic, blameless, infallible, perfect individuals to ever walk the earth, who would never for a moment consider doing such things, even if they can be proven to increase profits.

Are the new weapon skins seriously 2 tickets?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Neural.1824

Neural.1824

Maybe there’s a glut of tickets? Scraps drop more frequently since the chest revamp.

If there was a “glut” of tickets (there’s not), the supply on the TP would be high enough that the prices would be marginally higher than the skins which cost 1 ticket. As it stands the prices are running 2x normal, reflecting the normal average ticket value.

If there is some sort of problem with too many tickets, they can further nerf key farming. There are a lot of people who still do that once a week and a number of them on multiple accounts.

Anet simply cannot leave the Black Lion Tickets alone. It seems like every half year or so they have to try some new gimmick which has the same general result of making the players mad.

First it was locking the Immortal skin set in with outfit bundles (which they have apparently forgotten. At the rate the skins are accessible via gem store purchase it will be years before anyone could complete the skin set).
Then they thought it would be “cool” to make Privateer weapon set Account bound, thus forcing players to, one way or another, buy black lion keys.
Now they are breaking from the 5 year old standard and doubling the initial ticket cost.

The results are the same. People upset about it. The whales just buy what they want, because dropping $500 on gems to gamble with black lion keys is nothing to them. Many casuals just ignore it, while a few spend gold on the TP to buy the skin they want, and the collectors are forced to decide just how important it is to complete a set (side note: due to the Privateer skin set, which is locked behind RNG, and the sovereign set, which requires tokens that are no longer available, it is potentially impossible to complete the goal of having all skins of a specific weapon type.)

Maybe we should wait until we see things implemented before we make demands that make us look silly due to insufficient information.

The OP is simply asking for a reversal of purchase to compensate for the change listed if/when it is put in place.

It is a simple solution to a problem that arises with the change (if they make it), however I don’t think people trust Anet to do something that involves common sense in this respect.

IF they make the magic find change, I would also like a straight refund. They can just remove the amulet from my character and leave the space empty, and drop the laurels back into my balance.

To Hell with Tonics and Outfits! They did a rotten job of matching the Town Clothing pieces together to make Tonics. I’m not sure I would bother transmuting my Tonics into Outfits because of the poor combos they thrust upon us.

My solution? RESTORE TOWN CLOTHES! Put them back in the game EXACTLY AS BEFORE! Keep Outfits. I’m not saying to get rid of Outfits (though I’ll never buy any). But there is NO REASON Town Clothes could not be put back into the game. Darned few pieces (mostly hats) were turned into Outfits anyway. Just un-Tonic them and give us back our mix ‘n’ matchable non-combat clothing!

Agreed. They shouldn’t have gone this route to begin with. It was a rude, poorly thought out, insulting move on their part.

That explains that instance but what about the 101 other cheap shot mechanics used to artificially make this game challenging. I think many will agree that being insta gibbed or perma locked downed to death by an attack that has its telegraph hidden behind dozens of spell effects (or cheap post processing) or unblockable attacks is nothing but annoying and frustrating and cheap.

Gimmicks are Anet’s speciality. Just remember “death..good..” isn’t just a risen comment. With every one-shot kill comes a repair fee of over a silver. One of the largest passive gold sinks in the game, and that’s what all most everything in the game boils down to. Forcing players to spend more money (be it in game gold, or, to Anets preference, RL cash).

Until Anet learns how to entice players into spending money as opposed to trying to force them to, we’re going to be stuck with gimmicks.

Rank 30 WvW Required for Gift of Battle Grind

That is utter bullkitten. They’ve basically made it impossible for a casual player to obtain a legendary without (shocker!) buying one outright off the TP.

I’ve done my map completion, I’ve gotten everything but the precursor, and I’ve played a lot of WvW just for the heck of it. I’m not exactly a casual player, but I’m not hardcore by any means, yet I’m only rank 11. I could understand if it was rank 10. That is achievable and by the time you hit that you’ve learned a lot about WvW.
Making it rank 30 certainly won’t help the issue of zerging either.
What next Anet? Require completion of fractals up through level 50 in order to get world completion?
They should just stop this crap and remove the legendary crafting process and sell them directly in the gemstore for RL cash only purchases. That’s what they want.

Neural.1824

A message from John Corpening and John Smith:

We’ve noticed some changes to ascended drop rates that are below what we were expecting.

See, this is what I don’t get about your development team. Why are ascended drop rates below what the developers (you!) expected? You developed the content, you programmed the rates, why would they be different than what you put in or anything other than what you 100% intended? Did someone on their own simply have complete control over fractal rates with no oversight? This design concept seems to run rampant among your developers and is most apparent when reviewing material storage, boxes that open into more boxes, zone-specific keys, etc. (it seems like your internal teams do not communicate changes well with each other, which is a poor reflection on management).

It’s deliberate and intentional obfuscation.

Unless they are using some system cooked up by the Mad King himself, drop rates are finite numbers that exist in the system as variables which they have complete control over. Making it sound like there was some result that was “Unexpected” is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The drop rates are what they set them to be. There was no “mistake” in the changes made. They took off and nuked it from orbit, and now want us to believe it was an “oopsies” moment.

This “warning” was worded in a very loose and vague manner, which is quite concerning, as it opens the door wide for moderators to moderate according to their personal opinions of individuals, such as myself, who are unhappy about how Arenanet chooses to do some things in the game.

The American legal system should be a perfect example of how just about anything can be taken personally. The users are now basically free to comment, but at the complete mercy of the moderators, even if said mods have had a bad day.

This moderation post, coupled with the collaboration post combine to paint a picture that could be clearly interpreted as “positive input only”.

Vulgarity, threats, wishing real life harm, and so on have no place on the game forum, I think most would agree, but right now the impression that Arenanet is giving is that they are thin skinned. No-one there seems to be willing to consider that the reason there has been a steady growth of negative commentary is that they are starting to upset their player-base.

As silly as it sounds, I do believe that the armor should go with the “six or none” theme. If the char anatomy is anything like feline anatomy, then ..it resolves itself.

If Anet ends up insisting that we go the two breasted route for female Charr and Asura, then I want “anthro” choices for humans. Cat ears, cat tails, etc.
