Completely Pointless Revamps?

The way I see it, the recently announced changes to levelling are in response to the complaining about the new trait system.

In case you don’t recall, tons of people were complaining that now gaining a single level feels meaningless and unrewarding, especially up until level 30.
With the new changes, they’re “fixing” that problem with new rewards and UI changes that make levelling feel important.

Anyone else missing LS1 ?

Dungeon selling: request deposit

Another easy solution would be to allow us to set passwords to LFG groups. That way, people will have to send you the payment up front before you send them the password to join.

Every scammers wet dream

If anything, by communicating with the scammer by whispers/mail, you get to keep his name and the conversation that allows you to report him a lot easier. You’re much safer from scamming than with the current system.

Reports do nothing. Also with your idea, you still lose your money. At least with the current system you can enter the instance and open the map to determine whether or not the path is actually completed up to the last boss. People that do the paths aren’t the ones scamming.

I’m not sure why reports do nothing, but that’s for ANet to solve. Once the scam is confirmed and the scammer is punished, the gold can be refunded to the victim.
Maybe the current system protects the buyers more, but it doesn’t protect the sellers (which have the most to lose, IMO). It’s definitely not ideal and nor is the new one.

Dungeon Instance Owner change FTW

Hello Ryan,
thanks for this information.

Any tips on how to get name of those trolls that kick you from your own instance quickly?
There usually isn’t time to write anything down or to make any screenshots.

Thanks in advance!

There appears to be some nice debug messages for party join/leave that I’m going to see if I can turn into “LFG Messages” in the chat log which should make this easier…

But this won’t help much with preventing griefing. Increasing the required votes to 3 or 4 won’t do much for dungeon sellers either.
A good solution would be to allow LFGers to enable or disable kicking from the party when they make the LFG. This should also be displayed in the LFG entry.

New ideas for gw2

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Axelwarrior.9084

Axelwarrior.9084

There are quite a few problems with your suggestions.
To point out a few:

City raids: From what I know, the devs have already made it clear that they don’t want fighting events in cities.
Hairdresser: There is already an item in the gem store that changes your hair.
Guild Shop: I’m not sure why you’d need something like that. Care to elaborate?
Racial Factions: Although I would love to make actual villains as characters, I would hate to see the conflict while playing. Why would my character defend Tyria by defeating World Bosses and helping Destiny’s Edge in story dungeons? Why would he kill Scarlet? You can’t have it only affect the personal story, when the whole game revolves around you being a hero.

I’m seriously laughing at the people saying dungeons will suddenly become fun now that FGS is nerfed. Guys, the mechanics are still the same.

If anything already boring encounters will only become even more awful…

FGS barely made them tolerable.

By “boring encounters”, do you perhaps mean fights where you stack in a corner and face roll on your keyboard to quickly deal with all the enemies and possibly avoid dealing with their mechanics?
Because you can, I don’t know, NOT do that, if you wish.

Which profession is the best for pvp?

FGS is still the best Elite for PvE and WvW (roaming)

And FGS will still be one of the best PvE elites still, but in line with the other professions elites.

Explain to me how it’s the best. How is FGS better then any Ele rotation? Without valid arguments this is just like saying the sea is blue.

FGS is pretty much mandatory when WvW roaming, as an escape tool. Without it, pretty much any decent Warrior, Thief, or even Ranger can catch up to you.

As for Tornado, that usage was pretty ridiculous.

I’m not sure what you’re complaining about on Vapour form, since they only changed the animation, lol. And you really shouldn’t complain about downed skills. They’re all useful in certain situations.

So you’re comparing a 180 cd to a 240 cd that does twice less damage (?) and can’t be shared with a second person? I HOPE this one won’t be meta for sure.

Do you mean half the damage?

By the way, we don’t know yet how they’re planning to nerf it. They might remove the unintended use entirely, or just nerf it, in which case it might still be a better option than bear form.

Farming in Orr

Posted by: Axelwarrior.9084

Axelwarrior.9084

Fine then, we wont discuss it, but pve in this game is really easy. Nothing in it is hard, and there needs to be more ways of making money than dungeons.

Bro really? We’re not even making as much as the people running dungeons, even when we do fail events. Stop being jealous and trying to get every other fun way of making money kicked out of this game. If people like you keep kittening it will get nerfed again and then my favorite social spot and farming area will be gone, all because people like you got kitten :/ “oh noes open world farmers may be makin close to as much as i do, better whine and qq about them even though they dont affect me at all!” Seriously, leave.Orr.Alone. We aren’t harming you or anyone for that matter, most of us are just there to farm mats and whatnot. Us getting more drops will actually help with the high prices of mats on the tp right now, big time.

We’re not your enemy, not sure why you think we are. Even when we fail events we still don’t make the money that you do. So no, you’re not out for “justice” you’re out to ruin Orr again. Stop acting so jealous and entitled and let us have our fun out in Orr, we’re not hurting you.

Ugh. You don’t even get the point, do you?
I’m not jealous of you. Stop thinking so high of yourself. If I wanted to, I could come and farm myself. It’s not like you’re farming in a VIP spot or something. There’s nothing special about what you’re doing.

And, again, I won’t believe you make less until you prove it.

Lastly, check out my original post. Did I mention anything about having relentless hate and anger towards Orr farmers? Did I rage and scream about how it’s bothering me? Did I beg ANet to ban all farmers and nerf the event?
Hint: No, I didn’t.
The whole purpose of this thread was to get information. You brought the hate into it.

failing an event is not an exploit

Failing an event because of being unprepared or poor play isn’t an exploit, BUT, purposely failing an event to reap the benefits(drops) OVER AND OVER AND OVER IS.

the benefits (drops) are the same per event whether it fails or not and doing an event over and over is definitely not an exploit, thats why we have DR

When the event fails, though, it re-starts faster and the “rewards over time”, if you will, are more.

You didn’t answer my question on the first page

Right, I thought it was obvious…

Basically this is a champ box and materials farm. Very little gold is generated.

Since the idea is to sell all mats/exotics on the TP the increased competition drives prices down. This is good for everyone from an economic point of view : the offer is slowly meeting the demand.

Right, I didn’t think of it that way…
But the gilded coffers also drop gold. Not much, but it definitely adds up when you’re getting them constantly.

You realize if it is in fact an exploit you are likely to get banned as well for making a public thread and increasing the popularity of it right?

So making a thread to ask about reporting people for doing an exploit is gonna get me banned? That’s even more ridiculous than the exploit itself

Rules of conduct:
You will not exploit any bug in Guild Wars 2 and you will not communicate the existence of any such exploitable bug (bugs that grant the user unnatural or unintended benefits) either directly or through public posting, to any other user of Guild Wars 2.

There have been other threads about this very same issue in the last few days and they all were removed from the forum. Then you come here and open a new thread explaining where and how to perform the exploit. On top of that you would want to report the farmers so hopefully they get banned but you don’t want anything bad to happen to your account even though you’ve communicated the exploit via public posting. The irony lol

You should have submitted a ticket instead, asking a GM to solve your doubts instead of making the exploit public.

I asked whether I should be reporting the players doing it and how I should do it.
Also, the message you posted refers to bugs and not events. Saying the location of an event is quite different from saying how to complete a dungeon without fighting core bosses or something

Now farming is an exploit too? GW2 community makes me sicker day by day …

ps: Remember what happened at the ember farm. ANet just changed the event.

/thread

And at the linen farm, people were banned, apparently

These are two completely different situations and issues.

And yes, they are gaining an unfair advantage. If I’m busting my kitten off doing dungeons all day to make gold, I certainly don’t want people making more gold than me with a lot less effort.

Proof? Source? Reliable statistics? Envy is one of the deadly sins, don’t do it mate.

May be so, but ANet has not explicitly announced their opinion on this method yet. Until they have, we can’t know for sure.
Sure, I can’t reliably prove that it’s true (and never said so), but you can’t prove that it’s the opposite either. And I’m not being envious. If I wanted to, I could join in on the free gold as well. What I want is justice and fairness.

ANet don’t like to confirm or even mention exploits, why do you expect that? They just simply punish for it. Therefore, following the thing called common sense, you can assume they will do the same as in a previous case (ember farm), nerf the event upon failing.
Stop with the non-sense white knighting, it’s unhealthy.

As for the envy thing, if you make less than 5g per hour with farming, you do something horribly bad. If you are lucky, you can make more sure, but it’s RNG and also path selling can be more profitable, but thats out of the question now.

You do realize you’re going back and forth right now? You say it’s not the same as the linen farm, I say we can’t be sure without ANet’s confirmation, you say it’s the same as the ember by “following common sense” and then I proceed to say we can’t be sure etc. etc.
I tried really hard to make sense of your second paragraph and see how it contradicts my comment, but I’ve failed.

Implying that running around Orr for several hours does not take effort and work. Don’t get me wrong, I run dungeons too. Most of them take zero effort. The only ones that take actual effort are aetherpath and arah. I run a set of dungeons every day, it’s easy peasy. You have to be an idiot to be bad at them. What I’m saying is that there should be more than one way to make good money in this game. As of right now you run dungeons, become an econ pro and flip the tp, or pay with your credit card. I would rather not have my favorite farming spot nerfed, I have fun there. This is a game, you should be able to make money doing something you deem fun.

On the dungeon topic though, you can’t be serious. If you don’t think running into a wall with FGS and stacking everywhere to avoid boss mechanics is exploiting than you need to go see a doctor. Clearly dungeons where not meant to be ran that way, but we do it anyway, and it hasnt been stopped by Anet. Dungeons aren’t difficult. So why should Orr be “fixed”? Even with the event failing we still make less than you. So stop crying, keep running your dungeons, and leave us farmers in peace.

I’m not “implying” it, I’m straight up saying that you can do the Blix farm one-handed, with one eye closed, your dodge key disabled and while watching your favorite show in a different window. Are you seriously trying to say that running dungeons doesn’t take more effort?

As for the other topic, I said that it’s not related to the issue we’re discussing here. That’s why I don’t plan to talk about it. If you want to complain, make a topic on the Dungeon sub forum and I’ll be right there to discuss and present my opinion.
As for the “we still make less than you”, I’ll believe it when you prove it.

Dear OP

why on earth would you report somebody for doing something that has literally zero negative effect on yourself?
Don’t be a tattle tale, nobody likes tattle tales. You should have learned that when you were in school but some people never seem to get that lesson.

Stop being a square everybody, let people farm if they want.

Thanks.

Like I said above, all I want is justice and fairness.
If you replace the word “farm” with “exploit”, you might see the error of your thought process.

Would be cool if you stopped acting like a brown nosing preschooler who is tattling on his classmates to please his teacher. Seriously. If anything they’re helping the economy by putting more precursers and such on the market. Orr farming has been nerfed really bad, it’s not as great as you seem to think it is. They’re not gaining some huge unfair advantage over everyone else, if you want money and items go do it too.

If ANet considers it an exploit, you can’t just tell people “go do it too”.
And yes, they are gaining an unfair advantage. If I’m busting my kitten off doing dungeons all day to make gold, I certainly don’t want people making more gold than me with a lot less effort.

I’ve done it, dungeon running still makes more. Drops are bad dude. Dungeons could almost be considered an exploit at this point anyway “stack here” “stack there” “pewpewthis”, a lot of things in this game are not going as anet intended them to. I highly doubt they wanted us to stack in corners all the time and kitten. I just don’t like it when people call attention to orr. Even when we fail events like this we still don’t gain more than the dungeon runners, orr has been nerfed really badly. I don’t want it to get nerfed worse :/

What happens in dungeons is a whole different topic.
You don’t like that you’re making less (according to you, at least) than dungeon runners?
Even with the most ridiculous tactics, killing bosses within seconds with 4 FGSs, dungeon running is still a whole lot more effort than what you’re doing. Of course you should make less.
