I’m not blocking them because they are roleplayers but because they are filling my screen with stuff that is not in any way related to me and none of my business and making it difficult to see things that are actually for me. I have nothing against roleplayers or roleplaying, but I am not going to start modifying my otherwise very well working chat stuff just because of that.
So you expect the developers to spend their working time and effort to accommodate someone who is too lazy to accommodate for themselves? Players like you don’t deserve more attention, to be frank.
Oh, no I am not expecting anything from anyone and you are right, I do not deserve any kind of attention at all from anyone, that is why I am not trying to get it. The tools we have now do work for solving the problem too since the blocklist does not seem to have a cap. It might not be the ideal solution, but it is a solution anyway.
The rp channel is the same as emote, only you can turn it off separately, how is that not the same thing?
You answered your own question… “you can turn it off separately”
So, you agree its the same thing? Cause I don’t see a point to adding something that’s already in game other than to appease people.. crafting semi afk in the hopes of a guild member waving at them… because /guild and /tell doesn’t work anymore?
I believe it was me who gave that example and yes I agree with you, I might be stupid and patchetic for liking to see the texts of friends and guildies waving at me if I cannot see the antimation, and reply to that. That is why I was just suggesting the emote range to be lowered to be the same as /say so we all could be happy.
Other channels are also drowned in that flood.
Doesn’t really matter how patchetic it is but I rather block 10 random people than miss a message from a friend and that is what I am going to do until someting is changed.
You honestly cannot see a difference between having only one emote channel that everyone uses, and having two separate ones that can be toggled separately? One for regular emotes and one for RP use.
2 – Give an option to disable custom emotes (/e /me).
Why anyone would have emotes on if they are not an RPer is beyond me. Friends still do the “Hey! Over here!” wave on your screen so you know they are waving at you and you don’t get “Silver Invader laughs” spammed 20x in WvW, but you do you. I’ll be over here enjoying the game and RP.
For example because guildies and friends always greets me with a /wave and I always have something open on my screen (TP, bank) if I’m somewhere like the Terrace so I never see the animation, but I see the message.
Turning off emotes is not an option for me. Those two fixes would fix all problems.
Non-Roleplayer: "Give roleplayers a separate channel so I don’t have to see their Roleplay.
Roleplayer: “You know you can make a separate tab of your own so you don’t have to see it?”
Non-Rolplayer: “I shouldn’t have to do that!”
Yet the roleplayer should have to be forced a new chat channel to appease those who don’t want to create their own. And then get called names by RP-haters in the process of the threads.
Except that’s not how it is.
Non-roleplayer part is right, but the Roleplayer part in real is “turn off a whole public channel that also is useful for others than RP:rs if you don’t want to see it.”
And the second non-roleplayer part is again right, since it is really is not a good solution having to turn off a whole channel because of that.
Think of it like if there is 5 people flooding /map nonstop, does that mean that good solution is that everyone else has to turn the whole /map channel off?
Emote spam in DR has made me to block way too many people too and I really wouldn’t want to do that, but it is kinda only option since I am not going to turn emotes completely off.
Lower the emote range to the same range as /say is and most of these problems are solved. There is no reason why emote range has to be so huge that it can be seen in completely different part of the city.
It would not harm RP:ers in any way, but would spare outsider from having their screen filled with stuff that they have nothing to do with.
You don’t have to do that. You can turn off emotes in certain chat channels. It’s quite sad to block people just because they are roleplayers. Those roleplayers might one day be able to answer a question you have about a certain aspect of the game, and you won’t be able to hear their answer.

Why is it so important to roleplayers that EVERYONE has to hear the stuff they say? Why would it be so harmful if the range of /em would be lowered to be same as /say?
If I am having a private conversation or just chatting with a group of my friends, I really do not feel that everyone in the city would have to hear our conversation. I am chatting with the group there, not with the whole city.
Again, there is nothing wrong with roleplaying. The problem is caused by the channel they use (/em). If they would use /say channel, I don’t think anyone would complain at all.

Wait so this does nothing and nobody knows what it’s for, yet it’s somehow selling for 600 gold. What…
Many people have more gold than they know what to do with.
If that is the case they can buy a title at the circus instead.
I will laugh like crazy if, when the contracts are reenabled, the drop rate for these rocks from the caches gets upped to something like 50% of the time.
Why not get both? One does not prevent getting the other!
I love the new map , ley line gliding especially. I like the come back of hearts. I like the sunsets. I love the “new” feel to it and the nod to Guild Wars 1. I don’t like that I can’t find a Skritt to revive anywhere…
I think the point there was that others have the same right to play how they want as you have the right to play how you want. It is you yourself who has to make that decision.
If you insist playing with meta people, you have to adapt to meta needs.
If you want to play your own way, you have to find like minded people to play with.
Two groups do not mix well.
Choice is yours.
Sadly it’s hard to “decide” who to play with, it’s more a case of joining lots of groups and having them waste your time by going through every player’s gear to find the non-meta builds :/
Don’t join meta groups if you are not meta and they won’t waste your time and you won’t waste their time.
That’s why people are suggesting you to try to form your own group to find other like minded people to play with. They probably are not even nearly as numerous as meta people, but who knows, you might find enough to start the raid.
What you are doing now is trying to force others to adapt to your style because you do not want to adapt to their style. It does not work. Complaining about the exact same thing you are doing yourself.
You can make new f2p accounts (has only core game) for free as many as you want. They do have certain restrictions tho, but maybe they work for you since you don’t need HoT on them.
This thread is extremely demanding and unrealistic. The news sites are promoting the game. You can’t assume everyone who got “insider information” is abusing it, as every company has serious systems in place for that. You can’t even realistically prove any of them are, because you have now way of knowing.
No, not necessarily everyone but some of them, even a confession here telling how “we (content creators) do it and you just have to accept it”. Pretty good way to knowing.
Also people are not asking information to be blocked from the special people, but that the information (patch notes) would be release to everyone at the same time.
Watch the video closely and imagine the Kama being wielded in correct way (imagine real world hammer). The animations would still work perfectly and it would not look as silly as now. Actually they would look even better than now :P
Except in that case it would be a free for all fair competition where the fastest ones are the winners instead of what we have now where the chose few are the winners and others are not even allowed to participate. I’m sure you can see the difference here too.
The point is, it’s not a fair competition no matter how you cut it. People with slower computers. People who work when the client gets updated. People sleeping on the other side of the world.
I would rather have Anet benefit people who dedicate their own time to blog or create user content. Wooden Potatoes makes his living through the ad revenue his videos and subscribers bring. I’m not a huge fan, but I respect the sacrifices he makes to bring us fun and informative videos. So if it’s a choice between some random kid, or a respected content provider getting rich, I’ll go with WP.
It is fair if everyone has a chance to participate.
Arenanet could make this a smaller issue by getting that information out to players earlier. There are tons of ways. They could do pre-patch notes, a Public Beta Environment, Include into their pre-patch dev chats to name a few. Letting the same clique have a huge advantage every patch is BS. The only reason I can see someone defend this is because they are one of the few that get the info every patch and so of course they don’t want it to change.
The issue doesn’t change if you release the info one day or one month early. As soon as the information comes out, the first person who logs in gets to take advantage of the information. Whoever has the strongest PC, best SSD, and fastest fingers wins.
Except in that case it would be a free for all fair competition where the fastest ones are the winners instead of what we have now where the chose few are the winners and others are not even allowed to participate. I’m sure you can see the difference here too.
For the White Mantle to hit me with rocks from an absurd distance when on a glider. It’s gotten me and many of my friends killed when they stun us from half way across the map.
Can you change the title to reflect your post please?
It is really disappointing that the promoters are the ones who seem to be doing this, even admit it like that guy in that reddit post and rub it in the faces of regular players. Quite a way to promote the game and get followers.
“I am famous so I am allowed to cheat and the regular scrubs should just accept this.”
What if there’s the off chance that Seis moves by the amount of sensors she receives? I mean, she even says she almost has all the sensors.
The fact that two staff members visited could also mean that Anet was seeing if this method of gating was more efficient than timegating, and that when players realize Seis is gated based on the sensors players obtain, the event would kick into full gear.
If that was the case, it might have been wise to inform us about it :P
And add some kind of counter. People have been doing it for days now after all and nothing.
This rollback has cost a lot of players a lot of progress. So, take an moment to tell ANet what you lost to the rollback.
I lost over 600 gold worth of drops and sales on the TP, about 100 AP worth of progress on achievements, and nearly full stacks of platinum and hard wood that I harvested. I also lost 2 1/2 hours of gameplay and a full afternoon and evening of denied gameplay that I can NEVER get back. This had to happen on one of my very rare vacation days, turning what should have been a fun day into a severe disappointment.
Can you keep this kind of efficiency up normally or did it all happen to focus just into those two hours? I mean.. that’s extremely impressive!
Oooh it’s another “I want these things but I’m not willing to pay that much for them” -thread.
No. You can pay your subscription now if you want too and see how much you can get for it.
Lol, not realy. I just head the news on the changes for Black desert online and I thought. Hey!~ how would GW2 players react if Anet suddenly decided to do the same but WITHOUT the gameplay changing features.
Let’s call it a socal experiment. It’s quite funny really ^-^
Call it what you will, but these threads always sound like that. This isn’t the first subscription thread. Someone suggest the same thing once a month and always the idea behind them is to get a boatload of stuff for a fraction of the price they would normally cost.
Population really did seem to drop a lot during the last year when the focus was only on raids and no other content added at all. Now when Season 3 finally started it’s getting busyer again.
A lot depends on how they’re going to handle the game from now on.
They should be careful not to stomp too much over the non-raiders even tho the raids have been the main focus for the last year. There are still plenty of non-raiders left, and probably even more returning now when the season 3 finally started.
Locking things that are not even raid related behind raids might not be very wise thing to do.
Tried two bounties tonight. the 5 target, could find and see only 1 of them, Yanonka.
Other bounty was 1 target bounty, Brekkabek, only his pet was visible, Brekka himself was not.
Also fixing the range of /em being seen would be nice as well, as it way too large. Putting it as the same range as text I think would fix that and not sure why it has not been done all this time.
This should be done immediately and there is no reason why the range should be as long as it is now. I’m tired of seeing these endless roleplay emote floods while being in totally different part of DR. I have way more roleplayers on my block list than people blocked for real reasons because of this.
I don’t expect the game to entertain me. I learned long ago to entertain myself.
This is positive thinking.
A lot of people who complain, I sometimes think need to be spoon-fed entertainment. They say inside a computer game they’re bored. Bored.. inside a computer game…
To me, that’s kind of like sitting in a restaurant, not ordering anything, then complaining you’re hungry.
Indeed. Boredom is always caused by the lack of imagination.
