Have it come in the mail, soulbound but you can apply it to whichever character you want.

Why soulbound if you can apply it to any character anyway? Seems like account bound would be simpler, like the karma from dailies.

Absolutely ridiculous. This is NOT what TC should be doing, or any server for that matter. It’s makes me feel like WvW is turning into some crappy PvE farm train where no one actually does the content as intended, and simply exploits it to get items and experience in the most optimal way.

ANet, please adjust the matchmaking system. Give us T2 servers next week so we can make sure this habit dies. This only happens because of lop sided matchups. While I salute CD and SoS, I don’t think it’s fair to them either for us to not try & simply goof off in this manner either.

Did phantasmal zerker get fixed this patch?

It took me a while, but here is a better explanation with an image.

The illusionary berserker uses an animation similar to warrior greatsword #3 where they spin and move while creating attacks. The attacks are circles (shown as pentagons in my image) that are created at frames in the animation. In this image I highlight the position of all 4 attacks. What this means is that based on the relative position of a iZerker to their target, and based on the targets motion it can hit between 0 and 4 times. The damage number listed in the skill fact is based on all 4 hits connecting as shown by the 4x next to the damage #. With a static target this is possible but extraordinarily unlikely. The movement is meant to help this attack hit moving targets, which is its primary purpose as a skill which reduces movement speed.

In this particular series of screenshots, 3 of the strikes (#2, #3, and #4 ) overlapped the target golem, but as is known in the bug only 1 damage floater was displayed. I am able to examine the golem health before and after and it takes 3 strikes worth of damage but again the visual damage floater is not appearing. We do not know why this floater is sometimes not appearing but because it is a visual bug only we have prioritized other fixes over it while we try to figure out the root cause of this issue. In the meantime, I hope this image shows more clearly how this attack works and what the real bug here is.

Here is the image: http://imgur.com/idkTMrl

Note: the 3rd attack is visually present in two of the images because of the timing of my screenshot.

So, basically what you are saying is, it takes 7 months to fix a floater issue?

Ponderings on Mesmer DPS

in Mesmer

Ah yeah, valid point – sceptre projectiles can definitely be reflected, GS2’s clone can be freely shattered (along with GS4 if desired) for a fairly significant amount of extra spike damage and of course you have a fair degree of “hands free” functionality thanks to phantasms.

So it probably all balances out once you factor in all the additional damage sources – GS is definietly my preference in terms of usability, I was just kind’ve shocked at how fast I could burn through the tentacles in Jade maw with a sceptre, compared to a GS (Where the tentacle tends to smash your clones so you’re more reliant on GS1) which led me to examine the numbers

I’ve seen guardians do that often, but I have to wonder if they packed most of the offensiveness into that skill, and left the others on a more defensive/utility basis. Spread out, all of GS abilities are offensive, some have defensive/utility aspects as well but the offense is spread out evenly amongst all the skills in my opinion. Looking at the skill descriptions, it looks like skills 1 & 2 are offensive, and skill 3 is more utility based. :o

ANet, RNG achievements are bad design.

I’m just a little confused here. You don’t need the achievement to get the shattered wings (technically you don’t even “need” the shattered wings). GW1 had two titles that were purely based on rnd/luck (the lucky and unlucky title) which actually had an effect on gameplay (if I recall correctly +2% chance for salvaging and retaining a lockpick for opening chests per lucky rank). And to actually max those titles, was pretty expensive, at least more money than I ever had.

I will say, that it would be nice if there was a cheaper alternative for betting that allowed newer characters to participate (and for balance just have it so they can’t win tickets, but can still win some extra silver).

What was the negative feedback with Crabtactular?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/southsun/Crabtacular-Achievement/page/4#post2136781

Basically, the achieving part was being really lucky. I personally do not feel like I’m achieving something if any kind of luck is involved. To me that’s just what it is, it’s luck. Adding this to temporary content hurts achievement hunters, and even normal people who cant afford tons of gold to throw into the mini game. Has nothing to do with the wings, but more with the mechanics of how the achievement works.

While scepter does more DPS, GS1 isn’t the way a mesmer should be doing it’s damage anyways. Once the guardian stops spamming 1, their DPS will fall much more dramatically, while mesmers can keep phantasms up, bleeds up, or shatter. In the end, I’ll take GS anyday. It’s probably useful in PvE though. I may be wrong, but I think that guardian skill can be reflected, while GS1 cannot. Also, GS1 can aoe line targets, thus it can’t be blocked by trash mobs or adds, whereas a common projectile will hit whatever is infront of it’s target.

Are we the best in underwater combat?

Aylaine.1036

rangers are immortal underwater.

I’ve stomped every single ranger I’ve faced underwater. Effortlessly. Between feedback, tons of condition damage, disables, confusion, and decent direct damage, they simply can’t catch a break underwater. They’re either running or dying.

Moa racing too expensive IMO

in Dragon Bash

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

My problem isn’t the odds, it’s that they put in a negligible money sink that only the super-rich can afford with rewards that are geared more towards casual players.

This game just doesn’t make sense. (Outside of buy gems > get stuff.) >:C

What’s wrong with a money sink for a purely cosmetic item? How does having in-game items cost in-game money not make sense? Plus, 28g is hardly something “that only the super-rich can afford”.

It’s linked to an achievement, that’s what’s wrong. RNG/Money Sink doesn’t sound like an achievement to me.

ANet, RNG achievements are bad design.

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

I’m not sure why Moa Racing is the way it is. Look at the negative feedback you guys got with Crabtactular. Same thing here, only this time it costs gold to get the achievements, which is even worse. I doubt you will change this before the event is over, much like the aforementioned Crabtactular, but I do hope future Living Story achievements allow you to achieve without the added RNG.

Any official word on this, or is it going to be like Crabtactular?

This is our latest response to all known bugs. He says in their dev environment it’s sometimes hard to duplicate a problem because it’s constantly changing. I wonder if they’ve fully been able to duplicate everything that’s been stated in this iZerker thread. It’s hard to imagine not, but who knows what they’re seeing.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/The-forum-bug-process

No need to duplicate, when theres a dozen videos showing it missing or only doing 500-1000 damage. Their living test environment, I.E. the players, have done all the duplicating needed.

I feel more attention given to bugs that are labeled as critical by the devs would be nice. Things like Phantasmal Berserker for example. It’s been almost 6 months, and this ability has not been fixed yet. There is plenty of evidence in the thread on the Mesmer sub forums to show that somethings wrong. My gripe is, someone chims in every 2 months with a fairly non-specific response on how it’s okay/no changes are needed, rather then giving us more frequent updates on the investigation. If major bugs, such as the bouncing mechanic prioritizing allies before players (turrets/clones/minions/pets) were fixed with the level of communication and speed that the ecto salvage bug were fixed, I really feel like things would go smoother for the dev team.

Theres like 2 SoS there, and people just have to spawn camp them? It’s a pretty kitten move.

Much respect for SoS though. You guys are hanging in there, and you’ve shown more determination then other servers that have been in T2 when the going gets tough.

That does not look like a 1v1. I’ll be on in a few hours, will hit you up for a 1v1 just don’t put me on YouTube I hate how they make my norn look.

It was, but the other guys always jumped in, and he would run to guards when he was losing. xD

Just wish the T1s would stop double teaming a T2 I mean really come on, then again even after your double teaming we still managed to grab SM 3 in a few hours time so I guess you have to double team to break a dragon. Took Fa and Tc 3 weeks to figure that out.

Mmm, tasty but I don’t think I want to bite. All I will say is this: the reason everyone gangs up on you guys, aside from forum keyboard cowboys, is because your stuff is easy to take. Just like when our stuff was easy to take, you and FA took it, and when their stuff is easy to take, we take it.

Don’t feel so bad, it happens to everyone. Hopefully our next matchup won’t be filled with trash talk. Remember what happened last time.

It’s still impressive that they can get so many people to cooperate like that. If you aren’t winning and handing them easy bags, WvWers on TC won’t typically won’t cooperate with anything. They’d rather go off and tie up queue space dueling, rping, and doing other random stuff.

Are you sure you’re on our server? O_o

Yup I am. It’s an awesome server, but trying to get people to cooperate can be pretty frustrating at times. Particularly on TCBL.

It can be, but we are seeing more people willing to sentry and scout/dolyak scouts too. It’s an improving situation, but it’s not as bad as you make it seem in my opinion.

I really hope the prior servers that faced DB last round are enthusiastic as well to see DB’s real potential in a Tier 1 setting.

Welcome to Tier 1 kids.

Good fights in EB last night. Amazing show by BG on capturing most the known map with one massive RISE and friends organized crew. For a second there we thought you were joining JQ on beating up DB, then you started taking our stuff.

Not cool.

took whole 100% DB side in EBG within 20mins of first reset.. so it was JQ turn but jq super fast on upgrading things with arrow carts .. it was little challenge as always.

Seeing all of DB side gone that quickly made everyone JQ lol.

DB couldn’t even manage itself in T2 before the RNG matchups. I don’t know why they wanted to fight T1 teams; It was obvious they were going to get obliterated.

You are uninformed. This has been a fun match, and T2 was quite even. I feel like DB is learning a lot, and we do just fine when we have the numbers. We just don’t have the population in WvW to fight off JQ or BG atm. That said, I have enjoyed this match up immensely more than last weeks lol. If we had the coverage the other 2 servers had this would be amazing Keep at it everyone, enjoying the fights JQ and BG!

I’m actually surprised we have done as well as we have! Very exciting!

The last 2 weeks you were in T2 was not even. Why, we never figured out, but the amazing push & numbers you guys had the first two weeks was absent in every way. If it were even, it would have been like the third week where we took the lead on the morning before reset. That being said, DB definitely has it in them to make T2 balanced and quite even. They just need to show up next time we all get into the fray. I really hope they do too, and that when we all do meet again, we can bring the tactics we are both learning in our respective tough matchups to the table too.

But otherwise, if I look at your last weeks in T2, I would say it wasn’t even. Maybe reset weekend was, or specific days, but further into the week things changed.

Those were the last two weeks we were in T2. Those are close matches, the graphs and points don’t lie. Just because we weren’t first doesn’t mean it wasn’t even or a balanced tier haha. The last week, maybe I’ll give you that one. But 28k is not some blowout lead How are you Toasty guys doing by the way? We miss ya :p

Ehh, agree to disagree. That last week, yeah, and also garri waypointed two weeks in a row. I’m not disrespecting DB, because I would have preferred it if it was like the first two weeks (with our level of participation of the latter 3 weeks). xD

We’re about in the same boat as you: learning how a T1 server works, seeing their tactics, level of participation, and getting smashed at certain intervals. We are hanging on though, just as you guys are. Maybe our reunion, if ever, will show the fruits of what we learned during this tough week.

Many on TC miss you too.

Man, it’s so weird seeing TC/SoS 30 man zergs. It feels dirty when you have 50 guys behind you. So used to tier 1 zerg sizes ._.

To be honest, we are missing a lot of people. Not sure if that’s RL or unwillingness to face SoR, but the people you are seeing now are mostly the ones who you will be seeing regardless of the score. We’ll keep fighting & trying & learning even if things aren’t going well for us. Normally though, I think we could be way more competitive. But yeah, we are missing a lot of people.

Also, to the Choo I chilled out with, much fun! Sorry about the passerbys :X

LOL that was me!

Lol. I schooled that mesmer, then in the distance…a snowman. So I was like, THIS ISNT EVEN MY FINAL FORM! So I transformed.

Also, I’ve followed the T1 threads for awhile, and always seen your signature. Can I try 1v1ing you? :O

Any time! But be warned I run the most annoying P/D thief build and people hate that

I run phantasm mesmer, so I get some iffy people too. Still, P/D Thief is one of the only builds I have trouble with from thief, so it should be lots of fun! I will contact you when I can and if you are on, you can kick my butt.

worst 3 traits

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Furious Interruption – by the name this trait should be badass, as well as it being number XII – I imagine the character wielding a GS, furiously using iWave with satisfying impact…
But 4s f fury on interrupt is nothing compared to many of the major duelling traits.

Retaliatory Demise – does anyone actually use this?

Chaotic revival – same as above?

Nope and nope… Illusionary defense is just plain boobies

10/10 would wat again.

That’s a fairly good trait IMO. It can add a good amount of damage reduction for certain builds. For a rabid mesmer or phantasm mesmer, I always take that trait.

Went into a Crab Toss match yesterday, there were only two other people playing. I assume with the really low population it should be a lot easier to complete the achievement. I really don’t think ANet is going to bother changing it at all before the event is up. Add me in game and I’ll help you get it done next time I’m online, I don’t mind. I already got it done the hard (read: lucky) way on the first few days of release.

I may have to try getting it again then, but if people pile up… :’(

Siege Ticking Dynamic Event

in WvW

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

Yes, or something like it. And also at least double the timers for all siege inside keeps and towers. The timers are having a negative impact way beyond their stated intent. If Anet is concerned about server load caused by siege pieces sitting around the map, get rid of something else, such as jumping puzzles, skill points and other PVE stuff that surely also creates server load and is of little to no value to the WvW experience.

Hmm. They upped it to an hour from 30 minutes in the last big update last week. I think an hour is fine personally. :O

Please change this to an actual achievement ANet, and not a luck based thing.

Siege Ticking Dynamic Event

in WvW

Posted by: Aylaine.1036

Aylaine.1036

So I was musing over some thoughts the other night, like how ticking siege is tedious and can seem like busy work to a lot of passerby’s ad they go for the next reward on the map, even if nothing is going on, many people will not tick siege. So it got me thinking, what if siege ticking had it’s own event? For example:

You port in or enter the gate, and siege icons are pinged on your map if siege is low or is getting low (and circled with small circles, color coded to indicate lower timers) then there’s a bar to fill. Each time you tick siege within the keep or tower, it’s filled up. Once you get all of it, boom. World Exp and what not. Basically, this would add incentive to siege ticking and out really help out in that area in my opinion. Some people do it, but most won’t. I understand why, and while ‘doing my part for my server’ is subjective, I think this could edge more people over to ticking.

Thoughts?

There was an ele from your guild who thought he could whirlpool me to death. He promptly died and then actually followed me to Bay for more. When he realised he wasn’t going to win underwater, he retreated to the shore. I just jumped around him and /waved and then some other people came along and killed him.

It’s all in good fun, no need to get mad.

Pretty much. I only posted it because I found it funny that I survived. ;D

anyone watching the t2 thread if how good sos is doing vs 2 t2 servers shows really how much all of us here in t1 would blow them out of the water in numbers

I’m only going to speak for TC, but a good portion of our population is taking a much needed break. The score doesn’t reflect our servers normal output, nor the output when we decide to rally people from outside WvW. SoS and FA are good opponents, but the population difference would be very noticeable if it was put forth. But that wouldn’t be fun for anyone, especially not us. What’s the point of winning by a large amount if it causes the other two servers to not even want to come out?

If you want to see how we do normally, look at the last 3 weeks with Dragonbrand.

I think it goes back to the post above, same thing will happen more likely with any of T1 facing the T2 servers.

I feel a few servers could be competitive in T1 that aren’t currently in T1. Win? Most likely not. But it wouldn’t be a faceroll stomp either. T2 has grown a lot and the coverage and skill needed to play there has increased too. I honestly feel like FA, DB or TC could hold their own here. Again, not win but hold their own. A good example of this is SoS going into T2 from a few tiers below, and hanging on. Many say they’re learning new tactics and adapting to the change. Any T2 server would do the same in the face of tougher odds and adversity.

Many people think of the TC some of you faced a few months back. We’re pretty different now.

I’m hoping so too.

Let’s just hope Devon and all of his talk of ~variety~ give us the chance to all find out.

I believe I’m one of the (if not only) CERN posting here at the moment. Would you kindly link me to the screenshots that were posted?

He’s referring to my post:

Not really. But nice try [NR]. Hope you liked my krait train.

He decided to bring CERN into the argument over a funny picture.

that picture def shows one thing. You CERN dudes never stick around for a small scale fight unless u have ur 50man zerg ball around the cornor

3v1 isn’t a fight, it’s more about survival in my opinion. If that’s a fight to you, then good for you. If I had 2 others with me, I’d have fought. But I got bored of juking you guys so I left you with the krait. Also, when running with our zerg, I don’t see any NR people. If you’re in the way when we pass by, that’s tough. ;D

Has RE sent a scout to SoS? We do lack NA coverage, so you guys would be of a lot of help.

SoS gets my vote, or JQ.

FA seems to be doing much better these days in terms of people showing up. Perhaps they always had the people to begin with?
