Guild Wars 2

Hissatsu.3174:

There is either such code or severe problem with game’s RNG. It is very easy to notice in WvW.

Proof:
I farmed first 300 badges for my Invader Bow by getting 1000 WvW kills. (Remainder came from jumping puzzles i think) Drop rate on a big sample was ~3 badges per 10 kills. Next time, i hit 1500 WvW kills and… I’ve not even reached ~50 badges! Drop rate cut down like thrice, wtf? I waited for a day, and next day, i’m getting badges at higher rates again.

Yesterday my guildie compained in TS that for whole day (we raided WvW for 4 hours) he got lots of kills but barely any bags. He was pvping all day. Obviously the system “kicked in” for him and penaltised him for WvWing to much.

I understand you must fight bots, and you cannot announce such stuff (because then bots would work around it) but this exact way to combat bots is ridiculous. That is because a lot of times in MMO, you know its a good idea to find a good “farm spot” and farm it. Breaking this is like breaking one of the pillars MMO stand on. Especially if this is hidden (and you have items that drop very rarely, so its not obvious wether you’re unlucky or were lucky previously)

If this is true then Arenanet just broke their own game. ^^

All of the OP points are valid and especially the latter part of the post regarding
1) actually making profit by crafting instead of selling the resulting items below mat prices
2) selling items on TP is a no go at 15% cut and being undercut all of the time
are of critical importance.

They are all worthless to create because they sell for like 1/10 of what the mats are worth.

Yes, it can be (and I even agree it should be) out of combat! It’s just so you dont have to search all your backpacks all the time for where the frigging focus went from when you switched to staff and do that while running around and oh look you’re in combat! and all this bs like every other minute -_-

It sort of destroys the skill, because noone wants to run forwards, just to get thrown backwards again and then use up part of the swiftness bonus to continue running and make up for it. Also, it’s pretty disruptive on yourself. The description of the skill is even totally different than this behaviour (the description is fine).

In both pvp and pve I have to switch weapons manually all the time, which is extremely annoying. I switch between staff for swiftness while travelling as well as AoE healing and far away attacks and a layout for combat on actual engagements. This is really a pita, I’d actually go as far and say the class is partially broken like this. Why should other classes get the ability to switch weapons and elementalists don’t? It doesn’t make sense really. Thanks for your time.
