I’ve never bought any gamble box/key in any game and probably never will.

Only buying things I’m guaranteed to get, and know what will it take to get it, like bank/inventory slots, transmute stones, BL kits, even bought Rox’s quiver.

RNG things? Never.

I am not a huge fan of flashy weapons with dripping particle effects and prefer more elegant, simple and detailed skins.
The best pistol skins I have found are the Ebon Vanguard Pistols and they are honestly not that great.
On my main I use Imryldeen/ Khrysoar and I love them to bits, the detail on that GS is just astounding.

Have you checked the Lionguard pistols? They’re quite nice

What's with the obsession with humongous GS?

Perhaps there should be two different models of GS:s. One model for anime fans and one for those of us who prefer more realistic sizes. That would make more players interested in getting rarer skins and especially legendary GS:s and would not hurt anyone.

Hall of Monuments portal stone is a great way to get in a safe AFK spot. It’s free, you don’t have to logout, it teleports you to a safe place and teleports you back right there where you were when you are back.

This thing:

Of course that does not help the situation when you are unable to even touch your computer anymore, but helps if you have few seconds to prepare for your afk.

I not sure if I should admit it but I am a bad customer and have never bought any gamble boxes and/or keys in any game. They are not my thing. I’m paying only for things I am guaranteed to get.

But as long as the gamble thingies do not have anything game breaking, I’m fine with the companies using them as a money maker. Some people seem to be willing to use lots of money on them voluntarily so at least for now it’s kinda win-win situation. People get to gamble and companies get money and money makes more content.

Winter Wonderland Jumping Puzzle Debacle

in Wintersday

Posted by: Ameepa.6793

Ameepa.6793

Speed is the problem. Some players simply cannot do a jumping puzzle quickly, so making them timed automatically eliminates us from ever completing them. I can do the other jumping puzzles because they’re static and I can take my time on them to line up each jump. I still fall multiple times before completing any given puzzle (they are the worst part of the game bar none), but when they simply do not give you time to line up a jump at all, that is just bad design. Twitchmasters and Counterstrike players can pull it off no problem, I’m sure. Then they sit there and offer patronizing comments and explain how easy it all is. Well for some of us it’s not, and invalidating our experience by explaining how it’s so simple and our problems must be because we’re bad players is insulting and offensive.

Yeah speed is the problem for me with these JPs. My reaction time and mouse accuracy are not good enough for these anymore so they’re pretty much impossible for me to complete. Fun to try this one too of course but will be left uncompleted for me just like the clocktower.

have you tried increasing the mouse speed or even getting a faster mouse?

Hehe mouse is fine. With mouse accuracy I ment my own accuracy, not the mouse’s. Faster brain might do the trick

Thoughts on Ascended Gear? [Merged threads]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ameepa.6793

Ameepa.6793

I am simply devastated by this change. I used to love (used to) GW2 because it was the only mmo out there where I didn’t need a party for anything. Where I didn’t need to have a guild or friends. Where I could play alone and have the very very best gear in game. Even legendaries if I worked hard enough/was lucky enough.
But now you had to just come and cave in to moronic WoW fanboys whine who can’t live without carrot on a stick and you made this new tier of gear.
I can not express how much I am disappointed in you, anet and your game after this. Don’t give me this kitten about “it’s only 3 items” it’s 3 items already with 13 stats difference between them just for one item, 39 for 3 items. My enemy in WvW will have already 39 of some stat more than I do just because he does something I hate to do (dungeons).
Well…. You know… I’m sure you get a point by now so I’m just going to add this: unless you change this update to only exotic level gear with special stat only useful for dungeons, or unless you simply allow us to get these items nice and fast and cheap like we could get exotic gear, I’m quitting GW2 and you won’t see any more money from me. Leave gear progress, rewarding bigger nerds and elitists and overall idea of “play better to have better gear” to WoW. It does NOT belongs here. It won’t work. You won’t get ppl, you’ll only lose them.

Exactly how I feel.

Hiding Commander icons

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ameepa.6793

Ameepa.6793

Providing the option to hide the commander icon reduces a significant reason for getting the commander status in the first instance.

What do you mean? That a significant reason to buy commander status is to show up on everyone’s map in towns and out in the PvE world even if they are not grouped or doing the same thing with the commander(s)?

Sounds pretty strange reason tbh.

As far as we know Sylvari don’t age like humans do, and if they do its probably super slow. Even the firstborn look fine, not withered at all.

The whole Sylvari race is only 23 years old so we cannot really say how they age.

How have you managed to fill your guild with people you do not know? If they don’t know you, it means that you don’t know them either.

I have had my share of running guilds in the last ~10 years and even when I’m not running one in this game, I can agree that the guild system is different here than in other more traditional MMOs. I’m not saying that it is worse, just different.

One main difference is that people have much more freedom to choose how they want to play and do they even want to be in a guild. It may sound a bit harsh but in traditional MMO guilds are pretty much forced on the player even if they do not want that. If you are not in a guild, you pretty much cannot play the game. It is much harder to switch guilds in that kind of system because there is a risk that you may lose your ability to play the game, so people tend to stick around even if they would not like to.

Here it is not like that. You can enjoy the whole content even without a guild at all. As I see it, the main reasons here to join and stay in a guild are the buffs and purely the social aspect.

If player is only after the buffs, he will be in a guild that offers the best. If the player wants the social aspect, it is pretty much guaranteed that they will continue to look until they find one they like. They are free to do so. There is zero risk to switch and try other guilds if they are not enjoying themselves in some.

Nice social atmoshpere is much harder to create than objective based system. Leaders might be able to make people achieve some objective, but they cannot make people enjoy each others company. It happens almost by accident, if at all, just like in real life.

In some ways the chances of it happening can be improved by carefully planning on what kind of people you are trying get together. Is it the age? Nationality? What is the common thing between your members. You simply cannot just invite everyone.

Ok, enough rambling. :P

What does it matter what character people play? Just assume that everyone is male like probably 97% of players are. MMO is not a dating site

Some play human male, some female, some are charr, some are asura, some are tauren, some are undead, some are elves and some are dwarves. Characters do not have to be a mirror images of the players themselves. Shocking, isn’t it?

As opposed to other games where you have the same five skills and twenty you never use.

This.

Normal rotation in other games usually is exactly 3-5 skills and maybe 2 cooldowns per spec.

Those twenty other skills are ment for other specs or are pointless.

I was just wondering what are you planning on doing with bank tabs and bags full of inscriptions and insignias. You aren’t supposed to hoard hundreds of them unless you’re planning some kind of trading post thing. Usually those things are used immediately after making them since they are only one component of the final product, like 1) craft insignia, craft blade, craft hilt 2) discover/craft new weapon out of those.

Raw materials worth of hundreds of insignias are a lot easier to store because they go into collectibles and as you have noticed, insginias does not.

I would prefer it if the Achievement would be like this: Do Xdungeon or kill x enemies in wvw or craft xitems or kill x enemies in spvp or do a combination of these things. Something along those lines would be pretty good in my opinion. Like how the Hearts are designed multiple ways to achieve an overall goal.

This would be the best for everyone.

Like in this case I have no problem doing WWW, but I’m not very thrilled about the dungeon part of the achievement because I’m mostly a solo player and now I have to try to find a pug group for that.

This. It’s very annoying to have your screen filled with “Player X, the Bringer of Uneccessary Clutter On Your Screen” -titles

Sure I’ve collected titles in mmos just like everyone else, but never used any and always turned other people’s titles off if possible. Titles are my personal accomplishments and I really doubt that anyone actually is interested to see what titles I, or anyone else, have.

Soo if they add this, please add an option to not see them too.
