Guild Wars 2

I don’t think people have a problem with how challenging it is. But a problem with if 2-3 idiots get on a turret it is a fail. We can’t control who gets them first. Then it is even worse in over flow.

…if you’ve been paying attention at all it has been repeatedly pointed out how badly a few people or even an individual can troll an entire event by either using a turret poorly or just not doing anything at all while in it; with the only real recourse being to either accept incipient event failure or to do something that violates the spirit of the game like pulling mobs to the trolled turret to kill them. Neither are good for the long term health of this game.

We need mobile bundle pickups that perform the same type of functions as the turrets; in the same manner that charrzookas are handled at Jormag’s lieutenant. This would side step the issue entirely of a few people being able to block event completion. They wouldn’t even have to be as good as the turrets as long as we could get enough people using them as a safety valve.

Well, Berserker builds are probably the most OP specialization in the game, so it’s nice to see the Soldiers and Knights get a chance to shine

I honestly don’t think that’s necessary. As someone who’s top 100 in structured PvP, I can safely say bleed cap has no influence on any PvP fight. In world vs. world, it’s even more limited because there’s so much condition cleansing everywhere.

>Doesn’t actually read the title of the topic
>Posts anyway.

It is very aggravating that they are soooo focused on PvP, when a large fraction of guild wars players are PvE focused (including me; I HATE any kind of PvP). What about us Anet? You can’t just cater to one ‘clique’ of users :/

GuzziHero.2467:

I run Knights on my warrior. First time I have ever known to be favoured over ’zerkers

I run Knights on my Guardian with runes to help with getting downed up – first time I’ve seen the build that suits my play style deemed ‘useful’.

’Zerker is favored in everything, can you guys just deal with not being the stars for once?

Condition damage would like to extend a warm welcome to all berzerkers, you are a most welcome part of the “honourable order of unviable damage”. We hope you will make yourself at home and enjoy all future meetings at all major world boss events.

If too many people in the map refuses to waypoint when dead, .

I thought Anet designed the game so people got rewarded when they helped someone down or dead?

So the Teq content is designed that if you die you have to waypoint cause no one will help you, what sort of game design is that oO? I thought they were against this type of thing?

Its simple. It takes too long to rez someone from fully dead in combat. You lose too much damage.

Stop being lazy and take the 30 seconds to run back(not directed at you).

I stand by what i say Stx, you can’t design a game which promotes community spirit to take it away in an event which makes it every man or woman for themselves. No wonder so many groups fail the event.

So people should res you, while your body lies in a poison cloud and get killed themselves? When there’s already 20 other bodies lying around? If you are waiting for someone to res you, you ARE playing for yourself.

Seveleniumus.5973:

Exactly, that’s why beating Tequatl doesn’t make you a better player.

We aren’t ever going to change their minds, because for once in this game they can feel “elite”.

? ranger is not bad for dungeons. sword warhorn is pretty freaking great. And they are good in open world in the sense that you can just stand back and bearbow the hell out of mobs without taking a hit.
although yes 90% or more of rangers are bad at dungeons especially the kudzu twilight guys

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

Party merge means 3 people can join Cookie and I after we duo all of path 4 and kick us instantly. This feature needs to be removed.

You’re only rp’ing on Tarnished Coast anyway.

It’s rather hilarious when the water wave will deal 4800 to me and yet intsagib my pet. If there has ever been an example of pets needing either more damage reduction or to receive stat bonuses from our gear it’s this event.

No reason an npc with equal or more life than me should one hit from something that does less than 1/4 of my life.

This argument is not misleading in the slightest.

If I have food on my guardian that gives 20 boon duration, I’m not getting 200 stats and 20 boon duration. I’m getting 20 points into the virtue tree worth of boon duration. These are two very distinctly different things.

Also there is nothing permanent about food. At all.

That being said I believe that some food is completely imbalanced compared to other food and that some food is too good in general, such as the -40% condition duration food as well as few other egregious offenders.

If you do not want to teach the player what to do or how to get better, then go use another grouping tool, as your really not a team player for your server.

Rozbuska.5263:

-Level restriction

No, please

- Class restriction

No, please

- Gear rarity and stat type restriction

No, please

- Let party creator see players gear and build (like in SPvP)

No, please

A giant NOPE.

This update is complete crap

Players wouldn’t “abuse” the guesting system if this living story ‘event’ didn’t require them to.

A-Net should have forseen this. They shouldn’t have made an open world boss so hard. What they should have done was simply change the mechanics of the fight to be more engaging, while also making an instanced version similar in difficulty to the current Teq. The players are simply reacting to the system put in the game by A-Net. I don’t honestly see how you can place blame on the player base.

Stx.4857:

Actually, considering that guesting works the way it does.. he does have the right. Don’t like it? Blame A-Net.
You can’t blame players for just trying to do what it takes to down him.

You’re absolutely correct. Until the fight gets tuned so it’s doable by smaller servers smaller servers will continue to guest on bigger servers to down him. It’s the nature of the beast and you really can’t blame the players here. Are they really supposed to not do the content just because they’re on a server which can’t do it?

Trust me, I know how frustrating this is having been locked out of my main instance for days now but blaming the players is the wrong way to go about it unless they’re scumbags buying slots from squatters and abusing join to deprive queued players of slots.

Morrolan,

Worthless because they’re now taking up a slot on my character and not doing what I bought them to do. The two rings had lower overall stats, made up for by magic find. But, they removed the magic find without changing the other stats.

Blaine,

Thanks. They told us we would be compensated, and they told us that the MF would shift to account-based. Neither have occurred.

My account MF is 4%. I was well over 100% on each of several characters. I lost a LOT of value, and I don’t know how to recover it. Plus, the Pirate runes I’ve been collecting went from really valuable to complete garbage.

Couple this with the speed of updates and I’m ready to stop playing. It’s like losing an old friend, but I just can’t take this kind of crap any more. You would think they would have learned their lesson with the changes to Cantha in Winds of Change that they had to reverse. But, I don’t think they can reverse this easily.

The thing is, both ANet and the “never used MF” crowd actually have a point. They shouldn’t have to do all the killing while we who have MF do all the collecting. It’s just that ANet destroyed whole characters over night.

For only the fourth time I’ll not be getting my dailies today. I’m just so frustrated at having to rebuild all of my farming characters’ gear that I don’t have the will to fight any more. Maybe the young guys can pull it off, but I don’t have it in me any more. I just want to play, not have to reinvent my account. Sad. 7+ years …

Blix.8021:

celestial items still have more stats on them than other sets, you and everyone else who are complaining about this are doing so completely without merit. If you bought celestial stuff for the paltry magic find gain, that’s your own fault

Nevertheless, the set was nerfed without compensation and we weren’t given the opportunity to swap sets even though other sets that were only altered were allowed to swap. It doesn’t matter whether someone bought the set for the MF or not. The fact of the matter is, Celestial gear is less useful today than it was yesterday, period. Maybe it’s still good, maybe it’s not, but why not give us the option to decide that for ourselves like the option people with Traveler and Explorer gear were given?

Achievement Points should be renamed to “Game Points” or “Tyrian Points” or what so ever… They aren’t Achievements. The GW1 achievements were a 100x better than the ones in GW2.

Less is more, quality over quantity. Meh

Yeah, if it wasn’t for Dulfy you all would have to actually play the game or worse (GASP!), search for things!

*Trembles

Okay, I’m always really supportive of what Arenanet as a whole have done, but I must say, the marketing/managers who made the decision to make so many events on such short time schedules really did choose poorly in my opinion. It forces the devs to have to work on new content to stay on schedule, probably instead of the backlog of improvements they’d prefer to make, and when I work long hours myself, including on weekends for the past 4 months, makes it hard to get in enough time to join in any of the living story content. And I REALLY want to.
Not a lot that can be done now, but I agree with at least that observation.

The new Tequatl is on a whole new level compare to the other World Bosses.
Let’s assume that the other World Bosses are at a difficulty of level 1 to 3 while Tequatl is at level 10. At this point, things are still okay.
Then there’s Time Limit:
Every World Bosses now have a 15 minutes time limit until the event fail. Different bosses have different encounter with different base difficulty (include HP) to scale with. Apparently, we are expected to do level 10 content like level 1 to 3 content. Which is given only 15 minutes to do the event. To be honest, I would’ve really enjoy this event even if it has to take a good long 1 to 2 hours.
Who ever thought of this idea needs to think harder. In the long run, people rarely bothers with this event anymore. This will have a 99.9% chance being turn into Karka Queen Ver. 2. I am pretty sure if this event becomes like the permanent invasion event, I won’t bother because chance of winning ain’t gonna happen.
Time itself can be the issue:
There’s certain peak time for high, and low player population. This makes chance of winning even lower.
And there are other problems such as Overflows:
Being put into overflow pretty much determines that its going to fail.

I’m not saying time limit is all bad, but on this difficulty with the amount of time given is completely unreasonable.
However, the requirement for high player population is absolutely horrible.

Fungalfoot.7213:

And you seriously mean to tell me that this is how things should be? That this makes for an enjoyable gameplay experience?

Of course not. Teq doesn’t seem to be designed to be an enjoyable playing experience. Just consider this a part of a “challenge” – one more thing beyond your ability to control that can make you fail the event.

Anet trying to force this sPvP eSports bs is what’s messing this game up. GIVE UP ANET, YOUR SPVP SUCKS. NOW FIX YOUR PVE PLEASE. ty
