Do you want us not to farm champs?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Arcade Fire.4895

They want to control the economy.

Nerfing farms even though Queensdale was pretty bad because the tables were already nerfed to kitten is one method of doing so.

It’s also going to make people more inclined to purchase gems → gold.

There is barely anything left to make some gold in this game but no one seems to really say anything about it.

If you don’t want to play Zerkers then don’t play with zerker only parties.

/thread

No, not thread. The argument now if the ethicacy of those parties. For very specific runs that need a single individual fair enough, but when you’re doing it purely because you just wanna run the same speedrun over and over as defined by someone else, thats not ok, and the fact that half the parties out there at are all ‘lvl 80 Zerks only’(three dungeons later, same situation), there is a problem.

So who are you to say what’s unethical or not lol?

They wanna play with berserkers, so let them be.

You want to play with whatever you want and no one is stopping you or telling you to do otherwise.

It’s just a game and stop stressing over what people are doing as long as they aren’t being offensive to you or anyone.

We’re all just playing with our own time so its just best to mind your own business if no one is offending you personally.

Seriously. I don’t care to carry people anymore nor do I want to put in 20-30 minutes into a path when I know I can complete it in 5-8 (even less on some dungeons).

No one is forcing you to run with zerk-only groups.

The final nail in the coffin was the huge nerf to farming Orr with this crappy megaserver change.

You at least had a little bit of a chance to maybe get lucky with a precursor drop while still being able to farm income through heavy moldy bags and various drops but it got nerfed so terribly and it’s driving up the prices for mats/pres/etc.

Fused Gauntlets?

Will we ever be able to acquire Fused Gauntlets again? I totally missed the first part of the F&F Living Story and couldn’t get the fused gauntlets.

I really like the skin and I was wondering if there were any plans for people to be able to get them again.

Why won't... anyone help me...?

i think megaservers ought to be left for the lowlevel zones (say 1-50) and should be left out of orr.

megaservers in orr has completely ruined the economy. there’s literally no farm left and it’s driving precursors and mat prices (t6 specifically) up ridiculously high. i don’t know how you guys intend on fixing this otherwise.

most precursors are 1100g+, t6 prices are 40s+.

PvE thief damage is good. Learn how to play your class. The thief I do team arenas with is pretty solid also.

It’s definitely a player issue.

Runes of Strength Over Scholar?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Arcade Fire.4895

Arcade Fire.4895

Strength runes have better use on a character that can consistently stack might. e.g., Elementalists.

Scholar would still be better for both Warrior and Ranger, especially if you’re following current meta build for the classes.

Thief.

They are in a good place right now. Pretty good class with good dps, utility and mobility.

They are also very good in PvE. Engineers are not so hot right now. Can’t speak for Engi PvP though.

Best class to play using conditions?

Necro and Engineers are pretty condition heavy but with the way the current meta is, condition damage is pretty underwhelming.

What type of play are you looking to do? PvE/sPvP/WvW?

Orr farming was a really solid way to make money but it’s been nerfed with the most recent patch.

Here are a few things off the top of my head that you can do to make some cash though:

World Boss Train – attend as many as you can regularly. Salvage everything for the ectos to use/sell.

WvW – if you’re on a big/active server, it can actually be very profitable around prime time hours.

Dungeons – Do them regularly too. Try to atleast do AC1-3, SE1+3, CoF1+2, CoE1+3, Arah1-4 (if you’re capable) as regularly as you can. They are super easy and give decent loot.

Farm Orr – Try to make it to every Balth/Melandru/Grenth Pre+Defense event if you can.

Champ trains – FGS/Queensdale. I don’t think it’s worth it anymore because the loot tables were nerfed horrendously and the people tend to ruin it at times.

Good luck!

Honestly, I am okay with not having every legendary have a trail. I like my FSP the way it is.

However, I wish they’d make the weapon auto-sheath optional and give us a way to turn it off. FSP and Infinite Light look so much better unsheathe.

Ranger/Thief are actually pretty good for dungeon/fotm. But they are gear/build dependant (like all classes really).

Necros are okay for fractals. With the way things currently are, most dungeon fights are too short for Necro to really get any solid DPS out. Maybe they can address that if they ever release new permanent dungeons.

But really, just start your group if you don’t want to join those. No one is forcing you any which way. Play how you want to and they can play how they’d like.

I have mixed feelings.

I like that the megaservers allow me to run into other players in random zones. It makes leveling a bit better/easier/less boring but the megaservers have completely ruined farming Orr for extra money on the side.

I feel like I’m part of a small minority that actually enjoyed farming for cash. One of the main things I love about this game are the aesthetics and collecting weap/armor skins. To be able to do all that, I need to have cash. I used to guest and farm Orr temples whenever I had the time but now I can’t do so.

It wouldn’t be so bad if there were other viable ways to do it but I feel like everything else has been nerfed pretty badly (FGS/Queensdale loot tables). I know I can do dungeons and I do them regularly, but you can only make so much.

You know no one is forcing you to run berserker right? Just don’t join the groups that ask for it.

I honestly like the way it is without the trinity. I do miss my old paladin tank/healer but it’s nice to NOT have to wait around for a tank and/or healer to come around to start a dungeon run.

I see the benefits to the idea but I’m worried about it killing Orr temple farming and driving the costs of mats/precursors up even higher. It’s also rather inconvenient that I can’t simply guest to catch an event that’s up now.

Infusing Light of Dwayna

Light of Dwayna is not infusable at the moment. It doesn’t show up in the forge at all. Wiki lists this as a bug and I didn’t really see any other threads about this.

Is this a bug? Are there any plans to fix it to allow us to infuse it?

That the Marionette event is a good step in the right direction. It’s actually given my guild something to do together as opposed to standing around in LA afk.

Please improve on the Guild System, Missions and Reward system next. It’s in dire need of an overhaul.

Does anyone else wish the particle effect for the Infinite Light was a bit more noticeable?

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the weapon for what it is and I’m aware that I don’t have to take the name literally but I just wish it was a bit more “flashy” as some of the current weapons in game. The weapon “Beacon of Light” is more noticeable and offers more “light”.

I’d like to perhaps see the particle effect a bit more intense or even have a painterly afterimage like sunrise/twilight.
The weapon is quite expensive to craft/buy, I’d just like to see a little bit more out of it you know?

Can we have a serious talk about the current state of ranger pets? All I ask is for a few minutes of your time.

It’s pretty clear that there is no such thing as class balance nor is there really any effort to maintain it given the most recent updates. If there was, we wouldn’t have berserker warriors/mesmers running around acting like elitist kittens and shunning other classes out of the game. Nor would Guardians be so faceroll while other classes have to struggle.

You want to give ranger’s ZERO utility…fine. Atleast give us our pet’s some use.The current state of ranger pet’s is crap. I’m sure they do fine in the world zones (but that shouldn’t be how changes/updates are based on) but they are completely useless in dungeons even with paying 100% attention to controlling it. It WILL die and it WILL only hurt ranger DPS (if you even want to call what we do dps anymore). But please PLEASE buff ranger pet survivability.

With the most recent living story dungeon, it only proved how crappy the class is. Zero utility with laughable DPS. Not to mention, your pet is dead 99% of the fight.

Increase pet survivability. I am tired of having it dead and by my side through dungeon runs.

P.S; it’d be really useful if we could perma stow pet’s away. I don’t even know why this has to be requested.
