Guild Wars 2

The individual isn’t important for what you’re attempting to learn, only the aggregate.

I beg to differ… Both the Fortune and the Folley of isntant trading & Computer Networks in general is that other end of the Bell Curve always goes beyond 2nd to 3rd power Exponential when it comes to disparity (And thus, Manipulation and Influence). There’s real Math behind it too in our real economy where Disparity is pretty bad but its not nearly as pronounced as it is in GW2… (Atleast not what people imagine it to be)

TheOneNOnlyGeneralBama.9586:

Gold don’t really last in GW2 , we have alot of sinks and even more coming soon…with the measly 100s of gold i got from him , i still can’t afford what i want lolol

The reason you can’t afford this stuff is because the Cycle of inflation hasn’t stopped since last August when hardcore farming first started… It’s a total mystery that Gem prices are still as low as they are.

^ Improvements Random Loot tables for older dungeons are part of this Update ^
…that’s been stated atleast 4 times by 2 or 3 different designers, Wobels.

Also the only 1-2 pieces of Semi-superior gear you can get from FOTM, are rings(s) and a maybe a backpiece that may or may not even involve components from this Dungeon (b/c that backpiece is crafted in the Mystic Toilet instead).

Also bear in mind these rings might be Stat downgrades to some classes as they don’t have a standard Upgrade slot that allows for Cross-Spec’ing. IOW: The stats for the upgrade slot are built into the item and can’t be changed. Only the “Infusion” component can be changed and infusion only applies to a very specific Niche hazard you’re not supposed to be encountering anywhere else in the game.

^yeah, I also would take this one step further…

F3 to avoid boss aoe? Ha, that’s adorable…

Ranged Boss AOE’s are adorable…. (I pull pet out of those all day long)
Try F3’ing to save your pet when you’re Melee’ing Lupicus and he does the Swipe/Cleave.

There’s nothing crazy about that either… to compete with every other class, we HAVE to melee, and without Pets that can stand in Melee with us and “phase” when we dodge, we’ll never measure up to the DPS of other classes.

Try Gates of Arah now // Warmaster Chan if you don’t know what I’m Talking about.

We now effectively have ALL event mobs scaling up to Champions… including Nobles and Jesters who 1-shot every NPC who gets near them. This could potentially make Escorts impossible because the NPC’s don’t scale up in rank like the Mobs do.

Did Anet actually TEST THIS?

Is it intended to make Zerging impossible?
And what about events where there’s a Zerg nearby?
Are they also scaling based on players who are up to 3000 or even 5000 units away??

mtl.5921:

What if I want to be a super competitive player but not sure if I want to make a ranger my main? How’s the experience from 1-80, relatively speaking?

Slow …. but steady. (especially slow if you’re a bear’s summon)

Dungeons Explorable?? You’d better be good, otherwise bring War/Guar instead.
We don’t need anymore bad reputation floating around out there.
It’s bad enough we give hardly any buffs back to most teams.

? …if I only had a role… ?

Since Votes could be farmed or bought in stacks of 12 for 1gold… it was actually set up for GNASH TO WIN since the people with the most money were actually more likely to vote for Gnash, being Market Tycoons themselves …demographically speaking.

Why didn’t they?? You’ll have to ask them that.

Martin Kerstein.3071:

People here at the studio where as passionate about this as you folks, so we had both Kiel and Gnashblade supporters. I for example play a charr, so I was obviously on #TeamGnashblade.

That’s racist.

Then again I’m asuran… so Naturally I wanted to see the explanation behind the Reactor.
#teamHL2asuranversion

Ignore the CD… everything had ridiculous CD’s originally.
(some elites were 720 secs)

yeah, enjoy that 0.0125% chance at getting anything good.

Notice how they didn’t mention any separation of rewards by levels either, so camping the Champ Oak in queensdale will get a lot more people the “shinies” faster than the most skilled Dungeon team in Arah Path4 could ever get them.

Bannish to wall —>Immob --> Charge.
Ele’s get immobs too.

I’d call it a programming oversight… it doesn’t matter what the Cooldowns are or how difficult it might be to reproduce. …infact the more difficult something is to consistently reproduce, the more obvious it should be that it’s not intended, lol

My party did do it…I don’t know why anyone here is assuming that I failed it or they failed it just b/c I pointed out a bunch of bugs or irregularities in ANet’s own design philosophies with the Encounter. No, I didn’t carry them… rather I learned a Lot in a very short amount of time which I think was even better than simply waltzing through the encounter on “skill” alone. As I said, it’s not actually the “hardest” dungeon encounter nor do I see it as needing the most skill or teamwork. I simply see it as contradicting Anet’s long held design principles.

jheryn.8390:

Thoughts on The Pact’s future?

Yeah… its “future” needs to knock it the hell off with this constant “here’s someone you just met 5 minutes ago and oops, they’re dead or corrupted now … NVM but plz be sad over losing them anyway”… even though you could totally have saved them with enough skill if the mission mechanics wasn’t locked so tightly onto Rails.

Also… there needs to be a frikkin BANK in their base’s Future as well.
They got all this high tech crap but they don’t have a Bank for our sakes?

Quarktastic.1027:

Well…this thread isn’t pointless at all.

So, how often do you rotate your tires?

I change my pets between every big fight

I’ll also votekick other rangers in teams when I see them only using Bear/Wrongbow
This doesn’t make me an elitist. The OP is right, It’s been almost a year now…. training wheels should have been off months ago…. This isn’t soccer.

Bear is only for people who’s keyboards didn’t come with an F3 button and some fluke in their copy of GW2 in Options wouldn’t allow them to remap to another key.

Having bought the Deluxe edition, I find this “marketing” insulting.
I expect better of Arenanet. …or atleast I used to.
