Human Zones and Totalitarianism

If I owned a farm, I’d expect the workers to actually work unless they were on a break. Thats what they get paid for. The player just helps seeing to that.

As for the separatists, they are the ones trying to ruin the peace between the humans and the charr. They are the ones attacking YOU. They are the ones all around ebonhawke attacking innocents, militia etc and in certain events taking over an entire part of ebonhawke. You knock on their door, they come out and try to kill you.. Yep, they are nothing but a terrorist organisation.

The separatists are a terrorist organisation, as simple as that. Any goverment with half a brain would try to stop them. They are doing far more than just “disagreeing with opinion”.

Also OP, you are reading too much into this.. Its also something that has been in books, movies, games since.. well.. forever so its not like its uncommon.

Because it is the real world leaking into fantasy in favor of the totalitarian/dictator.

The only leaking in from the real world on this subject are posts like yours to be honest.

Why are people doing dragon bosses?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Blackwolfe.5649

Blackwolfe.5649

Fun? Yeah, the first 10 times perhaps, but Ive killed alot of dragons. Once.. once I got a rare (not counting mats/medallions) and that in over 40-50 dragon kills total. I rarely do dragons now, they are simply not worth the effort. I have a higher chance actually getting useful stuff zerging orr events even if the chance of that is much much lower since the 14 nov..

So, again, why are people doing dragons?

Share your data about perceived strange drop behavior here!

Wait, what you are saying is that the theory of which you are talking about is that there is a loot pool that is shared between all players in an area and that bots/farmers are emtpying the pool of rares/exotics and if I go there there will be little good for me to loot since its already taken?

Not that I think that there is any merit to the theory. If it was true I’d be seriously kitten and question the sanity of whatever coder/dev that came up with it.

Perhaps not intentionally and not directly, but there wasnt a long thread about loot for no reason and there isnt a sticky about it for no reason. Whether it is due to an overzealous DR (or bugged which is what Im thinking) or something else entirely, who knows. It never was just an issue in orr either.

It was causing some minor graphical glitches. They disabled off-armor previewing for the time being while they work on preview improvements (one of them hopefully being the ability to preview on the trading post). Off-armor preview will return.

Sacrificing the mentor in all three cases was a cheap way of getting rid of them..

Tybalts sacrifice was the best though. (also he was the worst one to lose as I think he is the best of the three mentors. Forgal was way too stiff and boring).

There is a very simple solution to this which I use sometimes. Turn down the volume of the other sounds and keep music at maximum, then raise the volume on your speakers.

Sometimes I do it for the music, sometimes for the voices etc.

There is nothing keeping you from running everywhere. I do that on occasion, but sometimes I simply dont have the time to run all across a zone to get to somewhere, especially not if I just want to sit down and play for a little while.

In wow it was perfect, simply due to the fact that one might not want to run/ride all the time through places they have been a gazillion times. Just hop in a “taxi” and go make a sandwich. Perfect time for a small break.

No there is just the one, but abaddon is sealed in the realm of torment. When I said “not the actual” abaddon, I refered to the fact that its simply a statue or a depiction of some sorts.

Abaddon is also sometimes refered to as the forgotten god.

Well, you know, some events require you to hang around one place killing things repeatedly until the event is over. And then the next part of the event chain starts, requiring you to kill even more stuff.

And its not just hanging around a waypoint, it punishes people that run all over a zone killing things as well. Heck, currently it seems that even switching zones doesnt save you from the overzealous DR.

One big reason why so many people complain is because they want the game to become better, they want to keep playing and have fun and most of all they want anet to listen.

Sometimes hate is just another expression of love (even if hate is bad). If there was no love, the hate might not be as strong.

If it was only about making gold, I’d agree its a good solution.. IF anet hadnt said that they didnt want the open world to be a significantly worse source of drops, which it obviously is. Its horribly worse.

I dont care much for gold, I’d much prefer to equip my chars with stuff I make/find, and not having to run dungeons a bazgillion times and its much more fun to find the gear than buying/crafting it anyway.
