Vol.5241:

So in the other thread a dev just confirmed that they nerfed that spot due to bots.

I guess everyone will have to suffer rather than ban those specific bots.

People that actually wanted to do events like it was intended are not suffering at all. So no, not everyone will suffer.

as i have mentioned before, when the needle doesn’t poke your flesh, you don’t feel the pain. one day when this happens to you as wind and water moves around, it will be an enlightenment

if you were here @ launch until now, you would have seen alot of zerg groups farming in orr. the only reason why most maps turning into an “Echo” map, is because they have been nerfed to oblivion. silently and deadly.

remember the fotm rush? why? let me tell you why.

most chest in fotm when launch give at least 5 loots for first 3 stages. last stage always gives 10 loots. at least 2 lodes and a core. nerf came everyone quit. unless u have no choice trying to get backpiece.

Orr nerf at cursed shore, etc etc. i cant list them all there are toooooooooo many. try googling around.

I was here at launch though. I was late by 2 weeks to start fractals but I have never, ever seen the last chest give 10 pieces of loot.
And everyone quit? It’s the easiest thing to get a group for, only overshadowed by cof.

i wish i had screenie but never did expect the loots to be nerfed that badly. and yes it does give 10 loots @ maw last time, even 2 months ago but still that depends on luck. now im not sure.

usually i get about 3 lodes/cores mix with few exotics/rares.

the last time i did it, it only gave blues and greens. and maw only drops 5 loots.

remember the days people run in just for the chest cuz they give high chances of exotics.. not anymore sadly.

you dont see people asking for fotm 38/48 anymore do you? i only see people asking for fotm 1, 10, 20, and thats about it.

and also honestly speaking, nobody wants to go fotm nowdays. myself wont bother.

i mean, honestly. if every chest have a rate to give 80% white, 10% blue, 5% green, 3% rare and 0.5% on exotic, with 1.5% misc orbs will that be ok?

that is the feeling/vibe im getting tho. you guys want it tougher. harder to get things, stuff on tp to grow in price until its totally impossible to buy and then complain about it when its too late. or to your advantages. :/

yeah those spots i do know. but the main point here in this post is :

Why are we getting Punished because Anet is fighting bots?

Why are we considered as “BOTS” or treated as one because there are a few running rampant?

I really wish people would stop quoting the dictionary…anyways…

This was absolutely NOT an exploit.

If a quest specified you needed to kill 10 Undead….but you killed 15 instead, accidentally or on purpose…would that be considered an exploit? Would you report yourself for doing so?

Right, because making sure a word is used properly never helps things :p

This is quite simply a game design/mechanics exploit. Not saying that if it was a crime it’d be a life sentence type crime or even just a “minor” felony (this type would be a misdemeanor). While I don’t doubt this will get changed (probably just remove the drops/exp) I don’t see them banning anyone over it.

why do you guys use the word “exploit” so often? because you think its not right? so not right means exploit?

who are you to judge if its an exploit or not?

it was build this way, intended to be, will be. is that not sufficient?

everything you don’t like is an exploit?

god bless america.

If it was intended they wouldnt have changed it

This counters your reply in full.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

There were an excessive number of bots at that location on several servers, so the spawns during the event (only) had their loot reduced. No changes were made to any creature outside the event, including wraiths in other locations. We tried to find the simplest, safest change possible. I hope that answers the question, but I really don’t want to get into a debate about “What is farming?” or “Does farming hurt the economy?” or “Economy? It’s a game, who cares?”

Not once did he mention the word exploit.

read all the quotes.

when i started this game, it never lagged at all.. nowdays with all this fighting bots and stuff, we get rubberbanding, random dc, loots nerfing, etc etc issues… when can anet provide a proper solution to this issue instead of punishing everyone in Tyria?

imagine if obama makes merchandise have a tag with 50% tax involved because rich people are avoiding tax? is that fair?

It’s eminently possible to make gold in game. I made 10 today in about two hours, playing inefficiently.

As to the OP? I’m not fond of the spider hatchlings being spawned by the Veteran and the veteran hatchlings spawned by the champion spiders. They drop no loot, are a pain to kill (the vets anyway) and add nothing but tedium to the fight.

show me where. dungeon or orr? what about t6 mats? how many?

if you did not get t6 mats, what did you get?

if no t6 mats, what happens when even TP runs out? its so cheap, blood and scales are up to 25s each. maybe it should hit 1g each like lodes

btw, im talking in general, and im farming/grinding for mats. not gold.

I ran around Orr for two hours; mostly farmed nodes, which I sold. I did a Jofast’s, a shelter and a penitent. I also wasted (from a time = reward standpoint) 10 minutes killing a Champ Risen Wraith because it took 5-6 minutes for people to get the message to move away during the life drain phase. I got about 40 Moldy Bags in total, with maybe 7-8 T6 mats in them. Sold them all along with 31 Ori, a stack of mithril, a half stack of wood, omnoms, etc.

likely u got 30 bags from those penitent events, and maybe 10 more from odd mobs. ores only from nodes.

i have rows of orich and mithril, pretty useless but serves as a backup instead when i need them.

back to point. after all that 2 hours and u got 10 gold. how much t6 mats in total did you get? that you sold? i mean, bloods, scales, bones, totems etc. not including leather, gossamer and mithril/orich trash.

10 gold can only get you about 38 bloods. or 10 icy runestones. or a crafting recipe. (that is by sacrificing loot you get for gold and converting back into a different mat.)

to get full set of 250 of each t6 mats and 500 ectos + lodes etc. how long does it take to get them?

or just to fill up your bank?

BobbyT.7192:

Between punishing people for trying to do that event legit, and punishing those that actually punished the former. I’t s a good thing Anet picked the latter. :P

one day when something affects you, whether here or somewhere else, and people laugh and are happy about your misfortune due to the way things are handled, that day will be the day of enlightenment

Julie Yann.5379:

I think the logic behind it is if they keep us from accumulating in game wealth we will have to spend real money in the gem store instead of just trading gold.

still its “in the name of botting”. what did we normal players do? we did not hack, we did not steal, we did not rob. why are we being punished?

if they be transparent and state :

“We (Anet) Do NOT want YOU (Players) to accumulate wealth in-game, We (Anet) Do not want you to get Anything by Playing. You must PAY to GET something. Buy GEMS or GTFO.”

i will gladly accept it and move on to another game.

i dont think anet is covering that with “botting” i think. but if it is, please do state it black and white.

Paul.4081:

If my name was Colin you’d have lost me at I

nope. I would be lost in statistics. One person doesn’t really matter. Whole players matter. Right now the events are the way that I like them. If majority of the players wanted intense farming we would see massive farming spots.

if you were here @ launch until now, you would have seen alot of zerg groups farming in orr. the only reason why most maps turning into an “Echo” map, is because they have been nerfed to oblivion. silently and deadly.

Vol.5241:

I bet you’re talking about the veteran/champion spider at shelter’s gate? I still don’t understand why they made that change.

i mean in general. everything as one.

every time you see a nerf, a patch, its always good on patch notes fixing stuff that’s bugged. but underneath that cover, there are still plenty of things anet can do without letting you know.

its pretty simple for them to change a value on something via server side, its either a .cfg or smth. even more simple an executable that can scroll and pick what to change.

due to the nature of it being server sided configurations they can keep it under wraps…

its just the values, no contents have been changed so i guess they can keep it off the patch notes.

last time everything drops something.. now due to the excuse of (in the name of) “bots” and “botting” and “Exploiting” etc, everything is reduced to ash.

also the claims from people saying thakittens an “Exploit”, its just silly.

most players here don’t really care for each other honestly. its all about me, myself and what i want.

its a competition, what i have you cannot have. i must be the sole person that have it.

have you ever seen it in-game? on forums? i bet u do.

point is, make it fair. all for one, one for all.

Anet, this isn’t just you vs botters. what you are doing is affecting everyone else in-game. you don’t need to farm for the materials, you can get it with a click or just edit the database for stuff. hell, you can even have equips with 99999 on all stats with full 150 trait points.

now, what we as a player want, is just a chance to achieve something. every time we players try to get something, you guys remove it so it becomes pointless to even try.

why must us players suffer because you are fighting bots? do you not have another alternative? can you not “detect” this changes? can you not make it so 3rd party software users get auto banned before even getting into game?

how is this fair? you fight botters, we all suffer. where is the logic in this?

there are alot of nerfs since release regarding to farming. never ending. why us? why do we have to accept your “bot preventing” policies that are hurting everyone instead of the bots themself? they can still make bots that run around maps killing stuff. ive seen quite a few anyway and reported.

so, is there a better solution for this issue?

god bless america.

lol i knew that “botting” was “related”. so, is there another way to prevent this botting issue instead of punishing everyone else?

urm.. its not about grinding anymore or farming mate. its now more like saying “DO NOT PvE”

look at launch.. look at now. its totally different. most people i know dont farm anymore. they only wvw since they have legendaries etc. some just plain quit from the multiple nerf patch.

i dont know how many new peeps come in but the old people i know are mostly gone only rare few are still here. reason is quite simple, drop in gold bars or gtfo. that is the vibe i am getting from anet.

those people that are complaining about the nerfs, soon enough they will get hit by the same issue and regret being such a pain atm.

why am i saying this? cuz ive seen so many. they only change toon names still same person. long ago they complain they cant this and that, 3 months down the road they say “ kitten i wish that event still exist”.

its a constant cycle. some rich peeps or those that already have stocked up on everything will come in and talk like a boss since they dont have to do it anymore.

if you guys really want a change, do something that affect the whole population/game.

something severe

no content changes were made, but server side configuration has been. which includes certain area mobs drop rate changed to 0%

is that what you mean? :p

if you guys really feel so strongly about this, you guys actually have the power to change things. stop farming. kill the tp. inflate everything till the point of impossible. when its at breaking point, there will be a solution

we have been ringed @ the nose like a farm cow by anet and the people that call “farming” as an exploit. why not show them what happens if people just plain stop doing farming?? let them farm their own stuff. let them farm their own gold. make it as if TP or trading NEVER existed.

make it to the point where even when you have gold, the items are not available for purchase

within a month likely it will start to collapse and break apart.

Hi there, i have a query.

is the servers for guildwars 2 tier 1 wvw map incompetent to handle mass wvw fights?

everytime there is a big wvw fight, skills are unable to be casted basically. its like standing still to get hit. you see people moving but skills cannot be/wont be casted. normal hits doesnt work either sometimes.

this is a quite major issue since its been happening for a long time without a solution.

is there any fix to this issue that is swift as other glitch patches?

is this issue going to be here forever?

very sure Anet “staff players” do notice this issue. im just hoping for a solution or ETA or straight NO, if its not getting solved.

ty for reading.

seen it quite a few times :<

first encounter was “golem in a wall” from jq, then waypoint hacking etc @ bgbl

then in eb, magic portal into towers without breaches…

then today a mesmer appeared inner bay @ jqbl, made a portal and jumped out to portal others in, was good tho, nobody took the portal. or the portal was too far

btw there was no breach to inner bay. for quite awhile. also tysm to the guy that have been building flamerams @ eb supplycamps hitting thin air ghost gates and also inside bay, inner and outer

somehow i think its better to play with fraps on :/ or anet implement a system to start catching them :<

having this issue over 1 month ++.

everyday noticed lag from GMT+12 5pm onwards to GMT+12 1am, dungeons cannot be played, wvw is impossible. fps remains at 100 – 220, moving around is fine but then when you hit, it will take awhile to see any damage dealt. sometimes you just get a disconnect.

15 minutes ago doing bg jormag. impossible to cast skills or such until everything is over. jormag still alive and kicking after it being dead for 25 seconds on my screen. then warpspeed died.

the lag today is worst. totally unplayable. no way can you do fotm or arah or even coe. you are dead before you see any skill effects.

can anyone from anet help out with this issue? its very frustrating for us having this issues and not get a fix. have talked to isp they say everything is fine. not sure where is the problem. please do help and respond asap ty.

Edit :

also while doing jormag earlier, had this weird problem where i get ported around idk how. wp to the nearest towards jormag, walked to jormag and see him, then get “ported” to hotw waypoint. walked there again to the pact bazooka, get ported again behind the ice shard. then run around again ported back to front of the ice shard then get knockback all the way a few times. cannot pick up weapons on floor, cannot cast skills.

happen to me very often too recently. run pass, pick it up. u keep moving forward. at maw… grabbing a crystal and moving forward = tentacle agony kitten

was doing simin earlier but boss seems to go invul when pushed near the statue. have to stop hitting, wait for awhile, then hit again until it turns not invul. whats with that?

was using a warrior when it happened.

tried method, hit 50% boss disappear,

4 sparks, boss 100% hp reappear, drop hp to 50% disappears

1 spark, reappear, dps hard boss went invul for first 10 seconds. “invul without the blue invul sign”

happened 3 times in a row. give up.

does network lag issues contribute to this? having bad lag issues to guildwars 2 only. every other games seems fine.

well, it could have been better with an additional dungeon option instead of the do or die situation.

or maybe its time for me to just move on. will see since they gonna do another patch.

Strifey.7215:

Dungeons are easier now because they keep nerfing a bunch of stuff that people complain about, unless you mean “easier” because you could death zerg before.

There’s no way using gw2lfg takes 3 hours to find a group, even when I ran a story mode on an alt with 2 guildies and 2 pugs, it took like 5 min to fill out the 2 pug spots.

i had 2 guildies and a friend trying to fill one empty slot for 3 hours in lfg and LA shouts “TA”, had to 4 man all 3 paths at the end cuz its takin too long a wait. first and last pug dude went offline when he cant work with the worm boss. sub 1k achievement points.

so, idk what time of the day u play but when im up its like hell to get a group up and ready. i had to pretty much 4 man ta cm se a few times.

no way for you but yes way for me, i was sitting there waiting. 3 times i posted on gw2lfg lol. that was right after the patch.

and, dungeons were NEVER hard, its just because u didn’t understand howto. and most new players do not know how and why even after watching a youtube movie about it.

before the patch coe was doable, after the patch, they are still doable, problem is that nobody is willing to guide new players into coe or arah anymore. unless u got a very very cool headed friend or player to take you thru it. no wp = no way to see or experience the content. yes you can see it all, you can feel it all, but the dead person sleeps it all.

and with ur ps, it aint happening in 5 – 10 minutes if you solo lupi, its a repeating circle stability hold the line and retreat/save yourself / invul elite run for a guardian or dolyak siggy balanced and endure pain + signet of rage for a warrior.

meh how do you expect to guide guildies thru arah? you ALWAYS solo lupi half way down the road cuz everyone is dead via the bloody aoe.

even worse now since shield of avenger is nerfed, we cant even hold lupi off with his aoe right after invul to gurantee everyones survival. lol

oh yeah, im a cry baby, when ure all alone in the bloody game with ur “elite friends” and nobody else, that would be your perfect bubble and nobody is gonna burst it

so yeah, well thats what im trying to say. its not just about me or the old farts ingame that knows everything too well. its all about the new players that are trying to understand the content.

the changes are more less like punishing the new players because they are new and virgin. how long will they take to succeed? would they have the patience to wait and learn?

i don’t care who is playing honestly, i just want people to play with when i am online. heck, you wouldn’t wanna be online if there is nothing to do ingame would you? or maybe switch to a different game.

every early bird ingame have either made their gold and stuff via early mystic forge precursor “magic” or orr maps “bigbob’s” version of loots. the new players now actually suffer from inflation of item prices and etc. and also alot of rich players are manipulating the blacklion market “TP”. newbies aint surviving well, instead they are pretty much farming for the rich people. rich peeps stay rich, the poor works like kitten.

maybe you are in a decent group try for once takin all 4 or maybe 4 man it with another 3 peeps with sub 500 achievement points then you will feel the sting.

also to add, ac is for lv35 peeps, ive done ac with a lv30 toon before with 3 others at lv35 and 40 and one at lv80 suceeded and it was fine but everyone is experienced with it.

compared to a group of 5 people at lv80 with sub 700 achievement points x4, you will feel the bitter sting of failure

also the forced kills at ac, we cant skip stuff anymore making it a pain. i dont know how or what you think but doing ac over 300 times is abit too much repetition. nothing is dynamic, the world ingame is not “realistic”.

when i say that, i mean that its fake, we cannot stand on cliffs to attack things, we cannot hide and attack. nothing like wvw or tactical use.

there are no terrain advantages, no out of the box thinking allowed.

sigh.

its not about the exploit fix, its about the waypoint being unable to be used. its not the case where we are ress-rushing or wtv its called, but sometimes ress is just impossible in certain situations especially guiding new players. how can people learn when things are set to be at elite mode and they are “barely legal”?

i dont really see the point in all this tho, i wouldn’t have said anything on the forums and stayed as a mute all the time if i had the choice but for Christ sakes, cant they just make an elite dungeon mode instead of ruining the fun for another group of people?

people learn and advance slowly in steps, as you have learned before all those patches that have occurred. if this was implemented from the start, i got nothing to say, everyone started the same. but changing it half way is just.. sigh..

do you remember your own first ac run? cm run? coe or arah? imagine if you cant wp, you dont see anything. there is no “experience” in that staying dead.

people just stop trying after awhile. not everyone have the patience to sit stand and wait for something to work or use a pen and paper to write down what the have to do in a “game”. you do realize this is a game right? you dont get a real achievement from here right? there is no such thing as PhD in GW2 skillplay right?

Lol, I love how when describing how it is just a game, you still focused on the REWARD for the activity in your examples.

Games are for fun. You do something, its entertaining. It doesn’t matter if you complete it, or if you win, or if there is a green ribbon at the end. Its about challenging yourself, or entertaining yourself in some way. So yes, I do know its a game.. but I am not sure you do.

because i take it as a game, i don’t want to spend my life thinking of ways to do a certain thing to get the reward. it is very repetitive, and also tough job to guide new players to do the “right” thing. it is not fun when a game turns into additional stress when things does not work out after a lot of tries.

first of all, you got to understand this is not about just me, i honestly dont give a rats kitten if this goes to the kitten, it aint hard, close and eye its done. but the time used to get it done. its not enjoyable when people start abandoning ship. walk away and leave.

have you notice the sharp decline on gw2lfg for dungeons? those players with 400 – 800 achievement points, some with green gears or rares, go in, die, a few times, and they go offline. some with 2k achievement points just says “mate im goin off after this daily”. meh wtf is this? i want to have people to play with, especially friends. everyone is gone u get it? nobody left to play with. 3/4 of my friendlist is offline, sometimes its only 5 people on lol.

this so called minor change, is making life hard and tough for the beginners. you are maybe an old fart “in gw2 aka old player”, but heck man, what about the new dudes? before they could see whats being done, they already dead somewhere somehow.

there are roles but its turning into elitism mode. only the elites can play the game now.

Wow.. a minor change to something that should never have existed, and a few weeks of potentially challenging dungeon content (that is in no way required for anyone) before they get rebalanced has everyone all ‘doom and gloom’.

Wow.. a minor change to something that should never have existed, and a few weeks of potentially challenging dungeon content (that is in no way required for anyone) before they get rebalanced has everyone all ‘doom and gloom’.Seriously, the only people that make this game split between ‘elites’ and ‘casuals’ are the casuals who just up and quit.

My usual group of 5 contains: Mesmer, Guardian, Engineer, and 2 Thieves.

Sadly, you know what our solution was? For our Mesmer to change professions to Elementalist so she could spam heals and condition removals along with the Guardian.

To me, that’s just wrong. The whole point in GW2 of not having ‘roles’ as so many fanboys cheer about…is that you are supposed to be able to do content with any combination of professions you want. But, it’s simply not true now. The moment you need someone spamming heals and condition removals while someone else tanks is the moment you have the ‘Trinity’ back. Only it is in a crappy and watered down form.

Mesmer couldn’t swap to nullity field (assuming condition removal and not healing was the issue)?

There are roles in GW2, nobody ever said there weren’t. What they said was that any Profession could fill any role. Roles being Support, Control, Damage instead of Tank, Healer, DPS.

there are roles but its turning into elitism mode. only the elites can play the game now.

Why is it that the people that played gw2 since launch gets the benefit of doing dungeons, orr maps etc easily to gain karma, loots and also their legendary and now made tough for the casual “few hours a week” gamer’s?

when the game just launched, everyone got everything in large quantities and also had exploited everything they could. by exploiting i don’t mean bugging or whatsoever instead what im saying is that the things were far more easy to obtain.

now after changes, dungeons become harder, more demanding, time consuming, makes a loss in repair bills. how is this fair to the beginning players etc?

most of u that posted here and complain about dungeons being too easy, how many of you are complaining about it? and what about the other part of the world that’s being silent and just playing the game in frustration?

maybe the “noob” players or casual players or whatsoever you call it, should just quit and walk away and let the elite gw2 players rule the game? “you could as for a refund idk if it still works :x”

for the old players or those that already got everything they want, maybe its easy for you. heck, don’t forget you were once a noob yourself. when you drink water, always remember of the source. you have it you don’t care, you don’t want others to have it because u are jelly and want to feel superior, complain, make it a living hell for others. is that how it is?

is the game turning into a nerf festival? are we supposed to spend years to get properly geared?

gw2lfg groups are getting lesser and lesser, newbies that join dungeon quit half way because they cannot cope, friendlist goes oh im just doing dailys and gonna go off, some dont even come online anymore.

is this the start of a dying game? :/ im about to quit myself since everyone i know is more or less not playing anymore. this is not fun, its stressful. maybe you want more perfect players, looks like its going sideways.

if this game is about elitism, sorry man, i think im out. im here to have fun with people and relax not to get stressed. not that i cannot do it, but its just to tedious.

talking about soloing lupi, its not that hard, its like walking a dog around a park. nothing special just takes awhile.

about alpha? hes kittened, aoe? just dodge. spam ooze? kill it so he gets bugged or stunned.

what else? dwayna? all about dps and timing. easy.

meh but heck what are the new players gonna do to get to that level ? be able to do that? gear plays quite a big factor in terms to survival to a new player. those so called small difference in rares to exotic ammounts up to about almost 200++ points in difference. sigils and runes costs a fortune. how on earth are new players going to progress and forward? time? how long ? years?

most of the people benefiting from the changes are those that already have the means to obtain and go further easily, or are perfectionist in terms of gw2 play skills. but if that is what you are aiming for, why not wvw? that requires more skill and tactical thinking. defend, attack, guard, trick, decoy, etc. works from a book called “The Art of War” can be used in play. will give u more tactics. or even spvp if u want skills.

people doing dungeons are more or less trying to advance getting some gear to deal with wvw and spvp or other things.

if you really want a challenge in the bloody dungeon, why not request for a different instance? make it “Elite Mode” “Explorable Mode” “Story Mode” ? maybe elite mode gives more loots and stuff? or if u guys want it a perfectionist mode where u have to kill every single thing including the rat on map, could easily make “Perfectionist Elitism mode” ? yeah? or maybe make Elite Mode/Perfectionist Elitism mode mobs and boss 9 levels higher? that would be a challenge wouldnt it? :/

ye this sounds kinda angry, i am. why? everyone is gone, im alone. where is the meaning in playing? :/ everytime people hear the word dungeon, they go “ah f it, its nerfed and unplayable.” jeez man, this is turning into an old school korean mmo where grind is the key factor to get items and progress imo. finding a bloody group for a dungeon takes hours sometimes nowdays. usually its pretty much instantaneous people will /join or /invite. now u wait. sit front of dungeon for 3 hours and wait. wait for what? might as well just log off. 3 hours of my life wasted waiting for some virtual fake thing to happen. sigh. depressing.

wait for most players to hit a brick wall casual players buying gems aint gonna be super “elite” since the super elite can buy gems off gold. cant even find group now for dungeon) takes 3 hours to find a ta group. 1 hour to get an ac group and fail hard. oh well lol. hope people dont start rage quitting and leave. aint no fun playing with only the “elites” in an artificial enviroment. :/

path 2 :

hall of champions, detha doesnt initiate the event where the ghost spawns and she repairs the cannons/mortars/wtv. (bugged all 5 – 8 runs) yesterday…

hall of champions, detha talks to the ghost and follow us walking around instead of repairing cannons/mortars/wtv. ghosts doesnt spawn…. today….

path 1 :

walked past the tunnel but boss doesnt spawn…. cleared whole catacomb tunnel area still didnt work…. yesterday..

any suggestions on what to do? sigh…… its silly really… getting bugged when whole place is cleared lol.

im playing on cursed shore atm and the 3 days ive been doing events here, ive seen like 15 botters just on the penitent zone… they walk the same route, hit the same time, never talks, do not reply to party requests, nothing.

are there anything done to stop them from botting? or at least an active person to run around the map banning this people?

also will provide some screenshots about some person admitting to be a botter etc. i think its a troll but it might be true as well :/

with all the botters around…. they hog everything :< what is the point of playing a MMO when everyone is a robot? might as well just play an offline game :<
