Is RNG punishing enough?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

Stuff….

You’re really bored aren’t you. Run out of socially divisive topics did we?

RNG is fine where it is. At best it needs to be taken down several notches to give players more feeling of progression. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t take an average amount of time to get a given item, just means that there shouldn’t be a chance it would take an obscene amount of time to get an item.

I vote for this being the answer to the question.

I second that.

Wait so wvw is a waste of time but doing the same fractals ,killing the same mordrem, and doing the same raidwing isn’t? Lol @pvers

That’s not what the OP said at all. Read his post carefully again and the examine the sentence about ‘wasted time’.

7 ways I make gold in Guild Wars 2

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

I think you should watch the video, it actually tells you all the good ways to make gold, and even has a list of materials nodes linked in the description.

He also only has 230~ views, so he is not making mad cash with your precious click.

so, instead of writing a confusing wall of text how to make money, he made a video so you can just click once and relax while watching him explain that stuff, you people do realize it would take a lot of text and pictures to convey all the information in that 2 minute video?

So thank you Mr. Denwei, good stuff.

Agree! and, btw, too much finger pointing/accusations/harsh judgements (’poor taste..abuse of this forum) with out even going to check it out 1st.
Knew most of them already, but one I had never done. Extremely helpful and cheap because I had a few stacks in my inventory and needed to spend about 15g to make over 60g in a few minutes at the forge. 15 well spent imho. Next time it may cost me 25-30g, but still more than worth it.

Something I noticed about gathering in HoT

I also find that all node types become more rare (numbers reduced) and move from their more common locations when they are a daily, taking extra time to locate.
No tin hat—it’s just the way Anet controls things in the game.

When you provide some data to back up your collection, I might be more interested. We humans aren’t likely to notice when nodes are hard to come by, unless there’s a relevant daily. There’s a spot one of my character visits (provisioner tokens, ugh) and sometimes, there are 3 mithril nodes in range (enough for daily miner) and some times not — even in the same day, when I end up in different instances.

The spawning of nodes is random and unrelated to the not-random set of dailies.

No hard data, just my observations on the more frequent routes that I know very well. Some believe that all is random in the game, some do not. Neither side will convince the other to change their perception of the game regardless of who might be correct or if it is somewhere in the middle.

I know there are permanent rich locations,and forager farms etc, but the other ones tend to become rarer, more often than not when they are are a daily. It’s subjective, and is just my observations. So if you are just hitting the hot spots/rich nodes you might not notice.

You know that the daily...

At least I was lucky and the shooting gallery was open when I went and I didn’t have to wait around for the time gated game. Tarir assault was up so cleared that one fast too.
But ya—PvE dailys generally have many activities that are just bad, it just happened that this one was exceptionally so.

Sanctum Scramble is the worst adventure

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

For us older folk, having to study a video and remember just when to use some twitch reaction thing that isn’t part of the core game just isn’t fun. It gets stale pretty fast, as well as frustrating that we can no longer do things easily that we took for granted in our teens/twenties.

Anything that forces a timer on you isn’t fun. You can’t pause it while you take another look at the video to see which silly skill you have to use to proceed at a particular point, so it’s fail again and back to the start.

The fact so many mastery points are locked behind something that isn’t core game is a very bad design decision. Hopefully they won’t repeat the same mistake again.

+10 This is exactly I have felt about this aspect of the game since they were introduced.

Ultra n00b question

I just came back to the game after a year. So you have to give up your 3rd traitline to use specialization. Wonder why they just didn’t make it a 4th traitline in the first place. I have a ranger which means i would have to give up BM which seems real crappy.

Don’t worry about it. I tried the druid specialization, and didn’t care for it at all or considered it use full in any way for the way I play. Went back to the Ranger.

Make jumping puzzles great again

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

You say “Make JP great again” but mesmers have always been able to use Portal Entre on jumping puzzles. Mesmer portals are not ruining Jumping Puzzles since the only people who are affected by them are the people who use them.

Same with the character parking issue: there is not issue. I have a mesmer park at Portmatt’s Lab. I spent 800 gems (which I bought with IRL money) to make that character, levelled him. When he got to 80, I parked him there. I won’t use that character again until the next time it’s a ‘Daily Portmatt’s Jumping Puzzle’ to help others get their dailies. If you want to do that JP legit, you’re welcome to. I won’t force you into using my portal.

+ 1 It seems the OP has more of an issue with other players using a legitimate in game mechanic and wants to restrict its’ use for all because he doesn’t personally like it. It has no impact on him or the game.
JPs have many more issues that could be addressed but portals aren’t one of them.

Woot. I haven’t been facing the issue but nice to hear it’s fixed. Thanks for the update.

Hero Banners Usual Locations?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

^just want to add that it’s 3 commendations for 3 banners. I find it’s a good value compared to crafting.

But compared to the old way of earning banners, not so much.
The guild changes were one of the so called improvements that I disliked the most. It made it difficult for a small tight group. It’s just an aspect of the game I ignore now.

Nope—- totally catering to PVP/e-sports and raid, nerfing professions, ignoring bugs-some that have existed for 3 yrs or more. Hot maps —" four maps like nothing you’ve ever seen before." That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing.
Best part of HoT is gliding and can be used it in Core maps.

They screwed it up with the change on how guilds could get them to give out. They screwed over small guilds and made it too hard to for them t pass on the banners.

Just don’t AFK farm—-simple way to deal with it and not have to worry about the hammer falling. Just admitting it shows your are trying to get around the 3 ‘rules’. If a GM makes a decision, it’s Anets choice to do so regardless. (especially if there is a history or reports from others)
Anet can decide whatever they want whenever they want.
Rule of thumb-forget about what Anet has said -don’t AFK farm and there will never be a problem.

Alt-character macro's bannable?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Blude.6812

Blude.6812

Binding two actions to one key stroke will get a ban.

“The post made by Gaile :

Guild Wars 2 players are permitted to use macros as long as the macros are programmed with a 1 key for 1 function protocol.
This means that if you program a macro, it must require one keystroke per action. You may not program a single key to perform multiple functions.
For example, if you Press A and it results in the casting of a single skill, you’re ok. If you Press A and it casts multiple spells, you’re not ok.
You cannot program a macro to perform the same or multiple actions on more than one account at a time.
You cannot program an “auto-clicker” macro that, for instance, opens chests while you play elsewhere."

Better use of Karma Points?

I personally use mine on the Pact Supply Network Agents daily for the map bonus thingys, wittles down my karma that i have no use for, and when you see a map with good map bonuses, charged lodestones, powerful blood, giant eyes etc, i just spend them all on that map and cash in on the free gold

^this. Do it daily and cash in. Hold on to them for a few days. Nothing like seeing a few drops of 20 armored scales in one pass. They even sell ascended backpiece recipes from time to time. Use this for the daily locations

Asking on the forums won’t do anything. As someone suggested before, if it’s been longer than 72 hours, post your ticket number on the 3+ Days sticky at:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/GW2-Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-2

But don’t post multiple tickets or it’ll slow down the process and you’ll be put to the back of the queue again.

Good luck!

I believe he said he never got an auto response, so no ticket #. I gave a link that tells him what to do if not getting e-mails from support.

When you join the map you picked, right click on one of the squads ghosted (white not green) names for the drop down menu to allow you to join in the map they are on. If you are too late you my get a server full message and then you are out of luck, unless more people can taxi in players to the map you are actually on.

But now you have submitted more than one, you have made your wait time longer. You should have received an automated response that they will got your ticket and they will get to you eventually.
Check you e-mail spam folders to see if it might be there.
