Please do not add extra difficulties, the Raids are fine as they are. Do not bend to a few complainers who refuse to put any effort into the Raid.

This………….

There’s 0 need for “Difficulty Settings”. It’s designed to be hard content, if you don’t like that there something like 40 zones worth of easier content +dungeons and Fractals for easy mode.

Stop trying to break what doesn’t need fixing.

This post is the epitome of entitlement.

I’ll try to be constructive here, but the OP’s tone is very combative.

Gw2, and HOT, does not have a gear grind. Rather, it has skin grinds. And that’s great. Want to take a break for a couple of months? Your characters will be fine when you get back. They’ll still have good gear.

That said, people still need goals. For some, that’s pvp. For others, it’s a specialization weapon. You choose what content you want to play. And since the reward is a skin, you are not punished for avoiding content you hate.

You don’t need copious amounts of time to raid, once you get used to the fight. But if you don’t want to raid? That’s fine. All you miss are skins. And yes, legendary armor is a skin.

Pvp also has exclusive skins. I may not get them. But that’s ok. It’s just a skin.

Play what you find enjoyable. Almost everything you can do in this game has rewards.

No thank you. The Raid is designed specifically to have a place for harder content, no one forces you to play it but if you have the right attitude you’ll be fine.

Dragging things down to the lowest common denominator with no reason to aspire to be better at the game is not good for the community or standards of play.

Putting dev time on nerfing current raid content is an annoying thing for you to suggest.

Asking for a way to grind rewards in easy mode is awful (in WoW, due to lockouts having separate rewards, people tried to do them all for loot and it caused burnout and will cause you and your easymode raiders to have to deal with people who just want the loot).

If you don’t like raids thats fine, stop trying to kitten with them, please.

Why the dishonesty on premades?

Ravenmoon.5318

Oh come on. Quit crying. Most premades are just bunch of randoms that happen to not be braindead. Thanks to soloQ matchmaking being absolute trash I was forced to group up with bunch of people who I won once in soloQ. (Either that or uninstall Gw2 because I was being matched with trashy teammates versus skilled opponents)

We play together ever since, yeah sometimes we face enemy premades with voip while we do not use such a thing.

But do you know what so cool about that?
– No more blowouts.
– No more rage in losing because I know everyone is capable and they did what they thought was the right thing at the time
– No one talks back at me
– No one AFKs
– They all cleave and stomp and peel and ABOVE ALL ELSE
– They avoid outnumbered fights, instead they/we rotate somewhere else, even if it costs us a capture point.

After being stuck at sapphire T1 from soloQ I went up into ruby fighting teams of primo legends all the freaking time. But I kittening did it. Got me second tier in ruby, lost some pips, it got late. Will continue later otnight

'Placement' Season

in PvP

Posted by: MadVisions.4529

MadVisions.4529

for the two weeks leading up to ranked season, allow players to compete for placement in the actual league season, being placed in amber, emerald, or sapphire. This would prevent the majority of early-season stompings that happened this year, and it gives competitive pvpers something to do instead of hotjoins or unranked.

This would accomplish nothing, it would basically just be extending the season by two weeks.

???????????????????
i guess he means this should take place in the between seasons-time where ranked was disabled last time.
ppl who are lacking in skill gong to complayn though. i can’t really understand how can someone stand a humiliating 15 losing streak w/o thinking about " hmm. it seems i’m not good enough to compete in ranked, maybe i should practice some more in unranked before i give it a try again.". These issues are made up by people who clearly are new to pvp and want to progress right away even when it’s clear that the leaderboard is NO MORE supporting a badly designed GRIND BASED algorythm so they gonna face real opponents after season-start and not just a bunch of pve heroes.

S2 From a High-Level Player's View

in PvP

Posted by: Zuko.7132

Zuko.7132

Hi all. I’m Zuko. I play tempest for Best Team North Africa, which is currently invited to participate in the Challenger Cup to qualify for Pro-League.

So the goal of this new matchmaking is to make the league system more skill-based. So if you have high mmr (the game thinks ur good) you will progress faster and easier. If you have low mmr (game thinks ur bad) you might have incredible difficulty getting out of amber. How it works is you get matched with players on ur team of similar mmr. The opposing team has team mates of a similar mmr on it. However, your teams average mmr and the enemy teams mmr can be vastly different. If you are one of the players in the top 1% then you have a 99% chance to face an enemy team with lower skill than you. Likewise if you are in the bottom 50% you have a 50% chance to fight people much better than you.

The idea is that the good players will progress to higher divisions quicker and leave only the bad to average players in the lower divisions. Then the average players will advance leaving only the bad players. So as the season goes on your matches should start becoming more balanced, and divisions will actually represent skill instead of time spent playing like last season.

Here’s the issue with that. While I love the fact that I am progressing quickly as a reward for being one of the more highly skilled players, this type of matchmaking can be quite discouraging to a majority of the playerbase. If the game doesn’t already rate you as good, you will be more likely to lose and the game will think more and more that you suck. Anet’s answer to this is as time progresses matches will become better. I fear however that this new matchmaking will cause many of the new, average, and bad players to just give up before matchmaking becomes balance again. Call it quits and go home. And let’s face it, that’s bad for the game. I would ask anet if having the few really good players progress faster is worth angering and harming the gaming experience of the vast majority of the player population. Also for the unlucky people who actually are bad whether it be from being unable to commit enough time or just lacking skill, there matches will never get better as they are always going to be below average and so will always have more of a chance to face teams better than them, and will always be on a losing streak and thus quit the game.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

Thick leather price manipulation?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Wanze.8410

Wanze.8410

With items such as recipe of lyssa / dwayna / grenth – (these luxury items) lets take this example and compare it to real life items.

AUG 15, 2014
A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most valuable car in the world selling for $38 million at the Bonham’s Auction in Carmel, California on Thursday. But the gavel price disappointed the Ferrari cognoscenti, who predicted that the car might bring as much as $60 million.

The Car was purchased for much less in 1962.

In theory it is impossible to compare speculation on luxury items compared to ordinary bulk commodities.

Yeah, i think we basically went back to discussing semantics again, me included. Usually, if someone uses the word manipulation on this forum, it sounds to me as if the user thinks whatever he is using that word for, is something to be concerned about.

If we check the OP, Milkshake didnt use that term and quite neutrally asked for other opinions on the buy out.

Personally, its a buy out i wouldnt do but i wont say right now that whoever did it, wont make any profit off it. I just wouldnt do it because i wouldnt put so much gold into one commodity that already is traded in a high volume (i would spend it on a high supply item with no demand atm). And then there is the small problem with relisting those 2.5m sections. You could refine them into squares, so you end up with 2500 stacks of those. But will you be able to list and sell them all during a potential short term spike? Hardly. In order to profit, the buyer needs a long term increase in price, which wouldnt be too much of a surprise, if you check the graphs for sections and squares.

Since the start of the year, squares went from 600k to under 50k listed and sections from 7.25m to 2.75m, while their prices more than doubled.

So unless Anet changes something in the next 8 weeks, i wouldnt bet against its price doubling again or at least go up at the same rate, so it would be 50%.

I checked daily trade volume on gw2bltc (which probably isnt accurate) and it suggests that around 40k squares and 190k sections have been traded on a daily basis, so 350k sections in total. Which means that whoever bought it out holds around a weeks worth of demand, which means it will take several more weeks (data suggests 4-5 weeks) to dump his supply on the tp, if he doesnt want to decrease prices again and just brings the supply/demand into equilibrium.

Writing this post made me realize that this buy out is smarter than i thought.
The buyer identified a supply wall (75-90% of total supply listed at lowest listing value*1.3 – I posted a screenshot about true listing volume (value listed in a range of 130% of the lowest listing) from gw2bltc, data not everybody might have access to because i think i have special filter unlocks for that site, in the gw2economy subreddit).

He then checked the past trading history and realized that supply has been rapidly dwindling since the start of the year and realized that this trend might continue for the next couple of weeks or months.

In the past, Anet was rather slow in reacting to rebalance common mats in my opinion, quartz took way longer than i expected, last year and i doubt that they will make mayor economical changes before the quarterly update mid April, they tend to ship those in bulk. Thats still 7 weeks away and there is a possibility that t5 leather might gain another 50-100% in value in that time, depending on updates Anet releases in the meantime. I doubt that demand will diminish in that time and supply will go either way. It will depend on where the masses will play. Obviously, the HoT zones and other lvl 80 maps are the biggest faucets for t5 leather, any update that will lead the player base away from those maps (pvp league) will mean less supply generated, if there are updates in those zones, we will get more.

I’ve been crafting a daily Damask, Spiritwood and Deldrimor and I’ve starting holding on to them to see if the prices are better when Legendary armor comes out. What if I put several hundred gold worth of these items for sale and they are bought with RMT gold? It’s hardly fair to have ANet go into innocent accounts and remove the gold gotten from hours of farming then crafting these items because someone else bought gold from a gold seller.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Tier 5 material prices drop? whats going on?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ZudetGambeous.9573

ZudetGambeous.9573

T5 were dropping for quite a while as we got closer to HoT. People were unsure what would happen with the old legendary weapons so forging of precursors slowed down quite a bit. Additionally, HoT and Halloween dropped at the same time. Halloween introduced a huge supply of T5 mats, in addition to the large influx of mats by returning players in HoT zones. Finally the new legendary weapons don’t have forgeable precursors again lowering the demand for T5 fine mats.

As such they are basically worthless now. As normal population resumes over the coming months the excess supply will dwindle but the demand is still pretty low and Halloween brought in an unbelievable amount of mats.

Does Diamond skin need a nerf ?

Posted by: Crinn.7864

Crinn.7864

Except most diamond skin qq-ers are necromancer players like you who refuse to accept that you have counters and are not supposed to be able to win every 1v1.

Necros already have several hardcounters outside of tempests. Necros don’t need to have another counter.

Meanwhile tempests have no counterclass, yet at the same time tempests are shutting out any projectile heavy class, and any heavy condi class.

There is a reason the meta has been stagnant, and that’s because Tempests are holding the keys to the meta, and they ain’t letting anyone else in.

In the current meta conquest has grown stale and boring. Bunker meta there is no need to even rotate anymore.

In such there is more strategy in stronghold than conquest at the moment.

When it is a premade vs premade Stronghold is intense and flips sides at the drop of a dime. I can understand solo que’s distaste for it as you are right it can go cheese real quick.

By seeing the cooldowns of our utility skills, we can then more strategically use Death Shroud, promoting skilled play/counter-play, and it will help balance the necro as a class.
