Taygus.4571:

you expected different?
Most outfits aren’t made with charr or asura in mind.

Check the asian look outfit with boob holes on a charr female, looks dreadful, they didn’t change that.

The latest armor/outfit additions always had a hole for the charrtails. Some of them even have special decorations for the tail

No, I don’t, not anymore, I have given up on Anet. Incompetence and laziness across the board.
There’s one new MMORPG with cat-like race coming soon, there are no issues with the tails.
There are like 2-3 pieces with no tail clipping as far I remember. And even the charr cultural is not perfect.
Why should I expect anything about tails..right?

ProtoGunner.4953:

What exactly is the problem? I don’t get it.

The tail clipping? Not sure if serious…

I will just leave this here and hope Anet employee will come and answer me if this is acceptable in 2014(whether or not bought with real cash or gold).

Don’t stack like monkeys on banana tree.
Simple.

lordkrall.7241:

I wonder if they will ever be able to do anything at all that will not lead to people complaining like mad.
Heck I am almost certain that even if it was added and given for free people would still find something to complain about.

The price is steep, but it is in no way impossible to get.
300g is rather easy to get nowadays, especially when we no longer have repair costs, which basically means that the only thing that drains money in WvW is upgrades (since you can get siege with badges).

The problem is that there need to be gold sinks, and I know that I personally prefer a gold sink like this than something that would be “forced” upon my for simply playing (such as repair costs).

And if it’s not Krall to come over to whiteknight Anet again, I don’t know who else will .
We are complaining because there’re reasons to, not because we enjoy it. So don’t be so “certain” that we will still whine if it was free.
No, 300g is not impossible to get… It will only take how many months for hardcore WvW players??? Because I just sold all I had collected during the past 2.5 months to buy a tag for 100..
300g is not easy even in PvE nowdays. Are you living in some parallel universe or some kind of your imaginary world? Every profitable thing that we find – gets nerfed, and then they politely remind you that you can always buy gems with cash and exchange them for gold. Repair cost was never an issue. You can never have enough badges to buy all the siege you need as a commander.

Ragnar.4257:

Culling fix, siege timers, party boon priority, finally getting around to account-bound wxp, kicking offline party members, even greying out dead name tags. Some people complained about those things as well, but the majority liked them.
…
At least use your real account DVon.

Those were fixes, not features… but ok.
Krall is not DVon…? At least I hope not. He is a guildie, or was, haven’t seen him online in ages, unless he has left the guild. But it’s true – in every criticizing thread here or on le reddit, he’s there, trying to defend them so hard that makes me sad.

How to kill completely WvW 101 – By Anet devs.

here’s a video for you though

Oh, noes.
You want help from WvW community so you can promote your game through how awesome WvW is even though you really haven’t done anything to actually improve it, aside from a new map that is not even WvW. And “GvG” arena that is flat like a pancake.
Not to mention how you treat us…

lel, constructive discussion and you only whine about what should be removed without any arguments to actually back it up why. The only condition that needs to be removed is torment – in game where moving is core mechanic, torment is just wrong. Nothing else needs to be removed, only reworked, but that means it will affect PvE, and WvW is in the same bucket with PvE.
Looks like a just a just another thread where you seek attention.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Sick-of-condi-builds-when-roaming
^ a thread with few constructive posts.

Isairyu.5106:

All Is Good.
Man, if you can’t get money IRL, will you complain about it? Is it God’s fault? Goverment? Laws?
“Get rich or die trying” man…
This man from “I do dungeon everyday” like classic worker. Its ok. Middle class…High class…lumpens…
Easy money man. Easy.

With the big difference that GW2 is a game. Not kitten RL. People come here to relax.
Not sure if troll or just lack of active brain cells.

Sure thing they do. GW2 EU/NA is profitable, but not as much as they wish so they don’t care. And there’s the Chinese milking cow. Who would even go play Wildstar if they weren’t angry and gave up on Anet? They got their deals with NCSoft…

I don’t know for the rest but this game badly needs team deathmatch arenas and ratings. They are obviously never going to add GvG system, but if they want PvP in this game to flourish a real competitive pvp mode must be added. Because camping caps is not skill, it’s not competitive in any shape or form. The native PvP population is really small, the majority is rank/chest farmers.
All good PvP teams left for a good reason.

3+ days and no response from devs. It’s just sad….

Jaken.6801:

1. No, i am against stacking, but that is another topic.

2. No, farming in general is a way to play, which exploits a system to get the greatest benefit with the “least” amount of effort.
The type of effort does not matter in that case, since the goal is the gold in the end.

The Champion Lootbags were put in to give people an insentive to do harder enemies in game and not ignore them.

These prooved to be so profitable that the champtrain was born.

Something that was designed to reward people for doing a challenging content was reduced to a mindless pinata and i cannot believe that was the idea behind this system.

However i am not against a farm in general. people should do what they like, but not intrude into other peoples enjoyment of the game.
This is something that has happened here.

3. There are several instances in which people reported that they got pulled in the train and thought,t hat this was the “only” way to play.
Yes, some people are so “easy” to manipulate.
Queensdale is a beginner zone and exposing such behaviour to new players so early in the game is counterproductive.
GW2 is a game that is “supposed” to be played by knowing your class and its mechanics. There are a lot of mechanics in this game people have to learn.
A mindless follow the comander and press 1, in which every diversion of the planned route gets scolded by the zerg (some more, some less, it depends) is indeed a toxic enviroment for new players.

As Queensdale is an introduction area, this kind of “content” should be only there in a reduced manner.

4. Which gear do you “need” to buy? As far as i know you can easily get your exo equip done without farming and just playing the game.
Of course if you want some specific skins, then you might have to do other stuff, or be lucky.
Again, you are worked up, because the “shortest” route to your goal has been compromised, so you have to resort to some “slower” routes to get to your goal.

5. You vent your anger here about other not resolved problems in the game.
Yes they are still there. however calling them out and saying that they “do not care”, is a rather narrow perspective.
Maybe these problems are much more complicated then you and many other players can imagine.
With thousands of players playing 24/7 and only a certain amount of people to work on problems, who do you think will be faster finding faults in the system?
Players of course.
not everyone will tell them how it was done, so the devs have to figre it out themselves, trying to reproduce and fix the stuff.

At the same time people demand for new stuff.

Yes, you can complain, but they are only human and they can only do so much.
Yes, it feels slow and it feels like they do not listen (where they should be a bit more open about which problems are on the table and which not), but they can only go, step by step. One problem at a time, since resolving one, can open another one.

Calling farming an exploit? You must be new to the MMORPG/ARPG world. I welcome you. Also here’s a definition of what farming is

Farm(ing)

The act of accumulating currency or items by constantly killing a mob or repeatedly performing a series of actions.

In D2 have done thousands Mephisto runs. And so in MMO dungeons/raids
Apparently, farming in games is a legit activity. Who would have thought?

I don’t know if QL was profitable, but the rest champ trains were under 10g/h before the nerf of champbags few patches ago. It was never profitable, it was only easier, since you could do something else between the waiting. It wasn’t " challenging content " neither.
People pulled in the train and thought,t hat this was the “only” way to play? lol. Not sure if serious…
Since the 15th april’s patch I’ve bought two more armor sets and runes, and yes, it’s expensive. Valkyrie/Cavalier can only be crafted/tp.
People make posts about wvw cheating for months, threads are deleted, some even banned from forums. Anet plays dead. And you tell me it doesn’t mean they don’t care?
The problem is easy to fix, but what to expect from someone who can’t fix a tooltip text-error for 2 years?

Whiteknights everywhere.

Get More Gold!

Remember that you can exchange gems and gold at our currency exchange on the second tab of the Black Lion Trading Company! Currently, you can get 1 gold for about 15 gems and 50 gold for about 670 gems!

How convenient…
Looks like soon there won’t be any other way to obtain gold but through gems only.

Ehm… what are you talking about.
Most of the “farms” that are being “nerfed” are based on exploiting fundamental issues with the game in general.
These are several problems that have to be addresed one at a time, to prevent unbalancing the game (further).

If player get a lot of money in a very short amount of time for something that should only give a little bit, then the idea was good, but the execution failed.
Subsequently adjusting the system to do what it was supposed to do is the right thing.

Complaining about system failures and that they are fixed so they cannot be exploited is just wrong.

Yes, there are instances in which these failures create new and interesting ways to play, however champ trains and the like, mostly in low level zones created a toxic enviroment for new player.

You as high level mass zerg champ train give the impression to new players that this is the way to play the game, while there are so many other ways to obtain what you want.

also you can still hunt champs in other areas of the game. They just reduced it in the low level zones for new players -_-

Oh and your coment about gem to gold… yeah, how about paying a bit of your money for a game you do not pay for aside from the initial purchase price.

How dare them to remind you that there is a way to give them money for their service and even getting something for it in return.

How could they do such things to the poor poor people… who just see their own easy benefit…

It`s a game and no gold farming simulator -_-

Oh, please… "exploiting fundamental issues ". So running around the map and killing champs is exploiting, but stacking in dungeons, etc is fine?!
I agree people should not insult each other when someone solo a champ out of the order, but to call it toxic is just an exaggeration. Anet doesn’t care really.

New players are not stupid, they know there’s more than the champ train. Why not let the people “play the way they want”? It’s up to me if I want to farm champs or stack in dungeons.

I don’t mind buying gems with cash from time to time to buy something from the store but I’m don’t find it appropriate and fair if I have to convert it to gold so I can buy some gear, etc.

You are right though, this is not gold farming simulator. Now lets make every non-depositable item obtained through TP account-bound and stop the mindless flipping whether it’s a bot or human. Maybe materials too, but will need 2nd vault for the account-bound mats.

Funny you talk about fixing “exploits”, yet real exploits in game remain – like flying golems, and people hitting you from beneath the wvw map. But of course it doesn’t affect the economy, so why bother fix it?

ZudetGambeous.9573:

If you can get rewards in the game then why would you spend $100 a month in the gem store?

Anet has nerfed every farming idea/location ever found in this game without fail.

^ This.
They already started to nerf down to the ground anything profitable to farm.
They nerfed the crit damage, resulting in less damage overall, which means more time to finish dungeons => gold from dungeons rewards now flows into the economy slower.

Also looks like people of Stackdara spend more time in EotM than in WvW. Wonder why ^ ^

4k power is almost impossible, i think you mean attack in that case my attack is about 3.3k(attack might not be visible anymore i believe), i think warriors can have like 3k power with like a super power PVT build with half bloodlust stacks done, correct me if i am wrong.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fJAQFAhg1dc8GoIAwiZC6A-TRhXgA8q/Ms/AgyPHlgg6ACAcA87vBA/+bf7bpAiYZE-e
4k+ power with 25 stacks of might and food/nourishment.
Even higher with the bloodlust stacks but not optimal imo

All nice and impressive, but where is your critical chance? and how would you get 25 stacks of might if not in a zerg or party?

lol I said it’s not optimal
Yep, no crit chance. Could use accuracy sigil and precision signet, it would be 20% without fury. Alone you can get 8 stacks from sigil of battle and signet of rage, which is 280 power. And 100 from guard stacks. 3585 is still not that bad. Though through many weapon swaps you could possibly get 25, not sure.

How was it higher than announced? They said 10% OVERALL damage nerf but crit damage % would be higher. Some builds/classes are hurt more than others but I don’t see a huge deviation from 10%.

Not that I agree with the nerf, just saying it was announced correctly.

According to their own article – 10% overall for full zerker build. Lets see warrior…
Acended trinkets, armor, scholar runes and weapon used to be 109%. Post-patch is 72.6%
36% are simply missing. Not even close to 10. But almost 4 times higher than the announced.

learn2math, 10% crit damage is NOT 10% overall damage

lel, even if we take it as they mean indeed overall damage rather than critical damage, it’s still more than 10%.
Pre-patch 10 damage, 259% multiplier, crit 25.9.
Post-patch: 10 damage, 222% multiplier, crit 22.2
Loss:14.29%

You are welcome

More than 36%
No, seriously, I need someone from Anet to explain how come the nerf is four times higher than what they said.

At level 80, it will take 15 points of ferocity to gain 1% bonus critical damage, which means that there will about a 10% decrease in overall damage for a full “berserker” build.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/learn-about-critical-damage-changes/

Well… Nope.
Now basically Warrior’s Discipline is 20% from 30%. Zerk weapon is 8.5% from 10%.
Ring from 8% to 4.5% etc.
It looks to me the nerf is higher than the announced.
Anet dev to come here and explain it.

I’m not even full zerker, I just found myself with 27.3% less crit damage, while full zerkers only lose 10%.
What kind of logic do you have Anet ?!?
Or this is how you want to push your beloved condi meta?
Really would like to hear a word from Anet how this is even reasonable …

German servers are like mobile acs anyway.
No.

Lalangamena.3694:

because we don’t have 25% direct damage reduction runes and then 36% direct damage reduction food.

if there was one, your commander would heavily invest in these and just whirl in symbol to remove conditions.

lel, and what is armor(toughness+defense) then?
Anyway, the food and the runes are reduced condi duration, so if it would tick for 1s, instead of 3s, but the whole constant condi spam from some builds, I start to doubt if it’s an efficient counter. Plus in organized play with 10 support guardian/warriors everything is being cleansed immediately, so why the melandru runes and lemongrass then.
For roaming it’s terrible to fight heavy condition builds…

Female Charr warrior.
Have a guardian and another warrior, female Charr again.

Personal favorite – Find a moose in game.

Probably easier than finding an option to disable it, amirite?

I take great some in charRacters creation and aesthetics and don’t like to be ruined just because some anet employee who lacks creativity thinks it’s funny to make my head 1/2 the size of my body…
Soo..funny… It also clips through my armor because obviously they can’t do it properly even.

If there were cheaters there would be option in the report drop-menu.

• What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?
  - Skill lag, rubber-banding, movement lag, timeout then dc
• What server are you on?
  -Aurora Glade
• Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?
  -Yes but very rarely
• Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?
  -Nope…
• Do you experience the lag at very specific times?
  - From morning til late night is horrible on EB, even though my server got outnumbered buff. It’s much better after midnight.Home Borderland seem to be a bit better. Zerg vs Zerg on EB = guaranteed lag. Even if 30-30 or so

Lol yeah, queue is not broken at all.
I was just pushed back from position 3 to 59 and you are telling me it’s completely working, FIFO, etc.
I have a serious question – has any of your devs graduated with CS?
Thanks for wasting my time.

EB is really bad since when they released the league system. But now in round 2 is just terrible. Whenever I go there it’s just lag – morning, noon, afternoon, prime time, late night. Lag. It’s getting ridiculous, if you can’t manage to make WvW properly working – just shut it down… And for some odd reason home BLs are way better.

On queue for 4.5h hours already…
This is worse than the start of the league, come on, I want to play, not to check my screen every 30s if the queue has popped up.

Terrahero.9358:

Skill lag is not going to be fixed

The issue is in the engine of the game itself, in order to fix that a big chunk of changes would have to be made to the engine. Which will mean having to redo making Gw2.

Its not going to happen, obviously. They work on minor things to help people along, mostly those on lower end PC’s. But even the biggest gains in optimization are so small it goes unnoticed.

Skill lag has nothing to do with lower end PC’s. It’s completely server-side.

maeggle.6021:

20 omegas, oh my… You want to WXP-train hard, you gotta pay for it. Seems fair.

Back in the old days™, we used rams (with a limit of 5 in closer proximity), catapults (same as for rams), arrow carts, ballistas and trebuchets to siege an enemy for some epic battles. Funny thing is: Except for trebuchets, they won’t despawn on server reboot…

I hope you are trolling.
Even if they were crafted they still cost lots of gold, so the price has been paid.
I don’t know how is it on Kodash but on the server where I play people build lots of golems for fun, nothing to do with WXP, if you care that much about wxp you are playing the game wrong.

SpehssMehreen.5897:

assuming your telling the truth, I would recommend you take it up with support and not post on the forusm accusing anet blah3x, if its true and your omegas somehow disappeared support will help you

Should have pointed out they weren’t mine but enraging none-the-less. And whom should I accuse if not anet ? This is not the first time all the siege disappear after patch. It needs to be stopped.

They are all gone after last night’s patch and restart.
Seriously this game proves every time to be nothing but one giant gold sink.

Nobody should be “punished” for not utilizing the TP. It’s like to punish someone’s who hasn’t joined a guild… Oh, wait… MF bonus and stuffs.
Stating that WP’s fee should be even higher to reduce farmers it’s just so funny when all farmers guest on worlds, create overflow and the regular players can’t get to the dragon(most of the time Jormag). Hopefully at the end of March this will be over.
Ok, so the TP is global but still doesn’t mean it can’t get over-saturated. And because it exists doesn’t mean I can’t use “IF it doesn’t exist”. As a webdev maybe I like that word. lol
I highly doubt any of you would be ok to sell their stuff to vendors and be happy with their profit between WP and events loot.
Oh, well. Nevermind. Can’t argue with the radio, right?

Kaimick.5109:

Bigsexy.8302:

I think you forget I must go back to where I’ve been at before. Another 4s fee and I’m actually losing a silver.
No, I don’t rant because I don’t make it back – I do and selling stuffs to TP. Is it really that hard to understand what I’m talking about? I think it’s more than clear. WP fees are out of proportions compared to what a NPC would give you for the loot. For “God” knows what time I’m saying it – stop thinking about the demn TP and compare NPC-WP.
The fees are obviously designed bad.

I do and selling stuffs to TP

then you say

WP fees are out of proportions compared to what a NPC would give you for the loot.

if your selling Yellows to TP then you have enough like you say your doing, then you say your selling to a vendor, which one is it?

How about you go to another area and do another event you may 3 silver yet again, maybe even more if you get better loot.

Not many people have any issue with the cost of WP, but there are always a few that do, and they are usually doing stuff and make more expenses than they need to make and then blaming WP cost

Sir… I wonder how put to it to not offend you and break the forum rules but.. you are not really among the brightest persons I’ve seen You lack logical thinking.
Anyway, what if I don’t want to do another event though? lol
What if there wasn’t actually TP and only vendors? Because TP is a users tool and it’s flexible, doens’t depend on devs. Or what if the server and its TP were so populate and the competition is so strong the prices are barely above vendors? I know it’s very unlikely to happen but not impossible. You can’t design a game and just throw some vendor prices. The profit from vendors should be like the minimal wage – to be enough to cover your very basic expanses. And teleporting is a such.
Btw no grinding involved in the scenario.

Nope, but you are right, you are forced to farm to recover the silver you have invested into WP. It’s unlikely to get back your silver with 3-4 kills, it will take you more. No game should make you do this.
I’ve played lots of MMO and have to say GW2 is the only one I’ve seen with that problem. In other games I can literally throw my whites to the NPC and cover my expenses..

I think you forget I must go back to where I’ve been at before. Another 4s fee and I’m actually losing a silver.

Adam.4103:

I don’t even understand why you’re complaining, you can’t ignore the TP in an argument like this, any high level rare will yield roughly 25 silver at the moment. And as has already been stated the WP fees are covered by a single event. Pointless rant is pointless.

O rly?
Just finished another Jormag. Loot – about 6 silver (npc) and 1s from the event itself. Total – ~7s. WP fee – ~4s. Not really a deal.
And once again you are talking for users economics when I’m talking about the relation between NPC prices and WP.
/sigh

Mind some people like to keep the mats they get from events for personal crafting.
And what when map completion is 100%?
And yet again we talk about TP prices. Omnomberry is 9c at NPC. How many do I need to gather so I can payback my teleport???
Yes, I do gather every nod I see but I think you too have missed my point.

Because you obviously haven’t read that my idea is teleport’s cost must be adjusted with NPC prices. Not to mention I’ve seen stuffs on TP with lower prices than I can get from NPCs. lolwut?!
And I don’t think anyone likes to be forced to do dungeons to get gold or to be long-time player.

No need to lock just because you don’t get it or you are filthy rich.

I know it’s been on the forums for so many times but the more – the better. The prices are just unbearable and I think my “rant” is justified.
Lets ignore the market and focus on the “system” – NPC prices. TP is entirely depending on the community.
A teleport from LA to Cursed Shore costs me about 4 silver. On average, a rare item that may be found once in a hour(or more if some good MF gear) costs avg. 2s(some might be almost 3s). It means I will have to sell 2 rares to NPC to get my money back. It’s even worse with mats.
The teleport fees should be adjusted according the profit can be gained through the system NPCs.

/rant

Same here.

Bags don’t spawn on the dead bodies, they spawn at your feet.

Oh lawl… I’ve never noticed really. Anyway as ranger I try to move constantly so I can deal damage from sides and behind, maybe that’s why I’m loosing track of the bodies.

On a serious note, as much as I like my Ranger, at a point where I was strapped for cash playing her was making it worse, yeah sure I killed people while roaming around but getting away from ganks (that were sometimes invisible) was futile for the most part. Mediocre damage and clunky dumb pets don’t help either.

The only time your gear doesn’t take damage is from falling deaths.

Ikr. Almost always get killed by thieves with 3-4 attacks. Makes me feel like I’m again mage in WoW where goblin rogues kill me that fast. XD
