Hmm…maybe I’ll get around to it after I am done grinding in the SAB. They changed that too so it will take forever to get your baubles. Spent 95$ since the champ loot revision in support. I won’t be spending a dime for a while with this kind of stuff coming down the pipe.
Yeah, complete nonsense. Add finishers to the store then add mobs to PvE that can be finished.
Mobs that can be stomped, but CANNOT make use of the new finishers. If you stomp one of the Twisted mechs, you use the standard, generic pole, not one of your fancy expensive finishers. Go ahead and try it out if you don’t believe me.
I’m not saying ANet won’t enable finishers for future PvE stomps. I’m saying they DIDN’T enable them for THESE stomps, which makes it absurd to claim that they added THESE stomps to sell finishers. It’s like you’re saying a cracker company made new extra-salty crackers so people would buy their new juice boxes while casually skipping over that they sell their juice boxes and new crackers on completely different continents. It’s crazy tinfoil hat logic and nothing more.
If anything, we should be annoyed that ANet DIDN’T enable the finishers for PvE stomps. They just released this shiny new finisher system, so why not let us use it everywhere it’s relevant?
I know we only use regular finishers on the invasion mobs. I never said we used the new ones. I said they can be finished.
I didn’t say they are trying to sell them for this event. I said they were trying to sell them. I don’t think they sold as well as they thought to just PvP and WvW players. If they want them to sell then they would have to make a purpose for PvE players to use them. They should sell a lot of them if they do it right. Players like eye candy.
The OP asked why we had to finish them. I implied it had to do with the new finishers. I clarified it later that I thought they were going in the direction of using finishers in some PvE. Someone had already posted about the use of finisher mechanics in PvE ahead of me and I didn’t think I needed to.
I’m not annoyed by it. I just think they are testing it out.
My original post was horribly vague so I see why people thought I was saying something else.
They also work in WvW which means they can and will work in PvE if they enable it.
It’s certainly technically possible for them to enable finishers in PvE, but they haven’t enabled them for PvE, making the argument that they added stomps to the new Living Story content to sell more finishers nonsense.
Yeah, complete nonsense. Add finishers to the store then add mobs to PvE that can be finished. Wonder what the next step is. Should see it in an event form sooner than later.
Because they added finishers to the store. They were trying to sell them. That is the exact reason why.
Except that finishers don’t show on anything other than PvP; and finishers were originally designed to display PvP rank.
THere was a time when you couldn’t see the rank of a player unless they used their finisher in PvP, before they did the updates to add spectator and ranks displaying on scoreboard.
Stop making ArenaNet seem like a greedy company, this is just ridiculous… especially when stomping clockwork doesn’t even show the finishers EVEN if bought from the store.
Wrong!
They also work in WvW which means they can and will work in PvE if they enable it. It’s fairly obvious the direction they were going with that design.
No one is implying Anet is greedy about anything. Other than maybe RNG boxes. They can make a dollar however they want. I myself spent 80 dollars in support of them since champ loot went live.
WvWvW involves PvP /facepalm
I have spent over $1,000 in this game. Not because I was forced to do so, but because I support the company.
They are still two different things. WvW is actually considered PvE.
I’m glad you support the game. People should if they like it. I have no idea what that forced part is about.
So killing other players is considered PvE? Who came up with this madness?
I don’t consider WvWvW serious PvP, but to consider it completely as PvE is non sense.
I consider it more like open world PvP myself. It’s balanced and set up with everything from PvE though.
Basically all I was saying is if the finishers work there, they can work in regular PvE and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in an event in the future to get PvE sales on the finishers. Especially since this was the only thread I seen someone complaining about it.

If anything more gold is being removed from the economy due to cheap players converting gold to gems instead of supporting Anet with a gem purchase every once in awhile.
Yeah, I did it a bunch too. That was the first time it ever happened. I won’t attempt it again though. Luckily I already had that map in my achievements.
The only problem I had with the overflow was on the final phase. My regular server finished the event and I used the waypoint to get closer to one of the invasions. It put me back on my regular server. I was kitten ed.
That’s easy to avoid though because you will get the pop up to return to your regular server. Just don’t waypoint after that. Sucks, but what are you going to do?
It says I cant participate in event because im in the overflow and need to wait.
Been waiting forever.
On some events and servers if you are in the overflow, you cant help with the invasion.
You need to go to the zone that the event is in within 10 minutes of getting the message. Otherwise you will be thrown into an overflow without the event.
I almost forgot. I ran into Dulfy in Maelstrom on Tarnished Coast walking with a guild bounty mob. She was tracking his path. Again, I don’t think Anet has anything to do with it.
Not sure why you say Anet is pre-releasing info to her either. Anytime I’ve checked out that site after a patch all the info wasn’t there yet . I looked on there to see all the Zodiac skins and they weren’t all up yet. She posted as players sent her the pics.
As far as I know it’s all given to her by players that help her out. I don’t think Anet has anything to do with that.
I think a lot of them look really nice. I don’t even know what to say about people who think the ones from GW1 are better. I laughed when I looked at them in comparison. They looked like Everquest or Morrowind weapons. I remember when I thought my ranger epics were awesome in EQ. I guess maybe nostalgia or something.
Glad you guys are having fun, but I know if I logged into a game with a bunch of snowmen, animals, and other goofy stuff like that I would have got my money back right away.
2 rifles and a harpoon gun. The lack of pistol skins has gone all the way back to Mad King. Anet just hates pistols I guess. Even the legendary is sad. A clown gun. SMH
Do any of you guys have it? I was wondering how our staff animation looked with it. I know our animation looks kind of funky with some staves like the Halloween Scythe.
I like the staff but would rather just sell it if the animation doesn’t line up right or looks off.
Inspect would be fine if it had a toggle like a lot of other games. In other words it would be up to the player if they wanted to let you see their gear/build or not.
I’d like to see an axe with the sickly green “Occultist Flame” animation put on it for necro. I was sad to see that put on a torch instead of a scepter or axe. But I’d like to see that added to more necro weapons than just those two.
I love these threads. I always get to see who the guys are that just can’t take it.
I knew a guy on a NWN2 rp server that quit the game after losing a duel. He loved his character roleplayed him as a bad kitten seasoned warrior and just couldn’t take it that he got beat down in seconds. These people remind me of that guy. They are still feeling that beating or afraid it might happen. HILARIOUS!!!
Welcome to why you have no support from your opposition. Try empathy, I hear it works wonders.
Opposition? I’m not in a debate about this. I have absolutely no concern for peoples opinions about a feature that can be turned to auto-decline. To me they are just whining for the sake of it.
I’m about 80% sure dueling will be implemented one day. Too many people want it. Look at the thread.
I count 30 different people in this thread – give or take a few either way. You were saying?
-edit- When you don’t care about people’s input or feedback, they tend not to care about yours.
This thread comes up all the time. People ask for it all the time. You’ll see another one asking about dueling in another few days. Unless the people wanting my opinion on it are devs, I couldn’t care less. I left my thoughts on being for it already.

I would love to see dueling put in. So many beautiful places to duel and use the terrain. It could be implemented so it wasn’t a bother to those who didn’t want to duel.
I’ve stood outside a dungeon a lot of times waiting on others to arrive and wished I could have had some friendly duels.
In their desire to make every second count they couldn’t be bothered to open them. Then they broke one of the first rules in farming 101. Never put all you eggs in one basket.
Glad to see Anet spreading that love around. Happened to me back in F&F when I ran that dungeon 40-50 times and no drops. I quit for 2 months. I quit caring about event titles or the rewards from them. Welcome to the club!!
I love the way they set the reward for that mini though. I get to see the tears from all the players that tell casuals to grind gold for rewards or buy and trade gems. Or even better the guys that say they don’t play for rewards crying about it.
Just let him play. Let him explore the world on his own and find what he likes. A guy I bought the game for actually took off and started doing vistas of all things. Then started doing city map completion and a few JPs. Never thought he would have got into that.
I wouldn’t play tour guide though unless he asks for help. It takes away from that sense of wonder you get when you first start an MMO.
I love the holo. I think the the different races having varying tech levels and styles adds to making the game very unique. Lion’s Arch is sort of a melting pot. I suggest players that prefer a more medieval or high fantasy atmosphere go to DR, Hoelbrak or The Grove.
I thought it was a good idea till all the goofy skins started spilling over into the armor and weapons. I wish they would have made minis, pink Quaggan backpacks and all the other stuff like that part of the town clothes.
With how big games have gotten and the millions of players these days it’s no surprise. It’s just a matter of time before someone puts a real life beating or worse on a dev. Look at all the crap that has gone on between players over the years. People are too serious about these games.
I haven’t been able to find a way. If I get downed I try to attack the nearest vision of mortality, but it has too much health.
From the rift portal balls. Those are the balls that pull you to them. Kind of got to get lucky to rally from them though. If you are close target it and destroy it.
Yep, it’s pretty bad. Good thing I have two accounts and parked a toon from my other one in front to rez myself. Anet were fools for making that long run like that. Should have had a WP or let the NPCs rez players like some do in WvW.
Best thing to do is to find a dome with people that aren’t farming and just wait your turn and rez each other.
I beat it with my necro in full zerker gear. I still think Anet are idiots though for putting players through that. Putting one shot mobs and a long run back is sure to kitten people off. They seem to be pretty good at that though.
