I was once called a “heart seeker spamming nube” on my thief once, when in reality I killed them with a combo of scorpion wire, basilisk venom + back stabs.
Another time I was called a “stun breaking kitten” on my ele.
My guard was called a “blinding spamming kitten” by a warrior when I took them out with a combo of stun breaks, blocks, blinds and burning.
Bads will be bads, and bads will insult as a result. Just ignore them and kill them again. They’ll come at you kittened and thus play even worse.
The way characters sit on the carpet are awful. Female character flashing panties all day…. should have came with a more appealing way for them to sit on it…
So yeah, considering making a mesmer now that it seems the feature pack gave them some nice stuff. But I’m just wondering what builds people are having the most success with? Is it safe to assume for PVE the favorite is still sword/sword + sword/focus?
How many times do you need complete it? I don’t mean to make a personal attack but I do question why you are there if not to troll the farmers. I checked earlier and found a map within minutes that was not being farmed and had people doing the event to completion. So I think this thread a bit disingenuous.
So you are saying there’s now a limit to how many times a person can complete events in this game? Then what happens, get labeled a troll? There should not be any event in game where a person wanting to complete it, no matter how many times, should be labeled a troll such as you are trying to do right now with me. So no, I’ll keep completing it because completing events is fun at least to me.
Yeah I saw TC’s match up this week and had to look at it a few times to make sure I was reading it right……..like………..this basically vacation week for TC.
I can’t believe you’re complaining about LB ranger. It’s a one trick pony, and most of the LB rangers currently playing are band wagoner’s and free kill points.
We want you to know that we’re working kitten fixing bugs in the New Player Experience system. We’re also using this opportunity to make a few changes to its design to take into account the feedback we’ve been reading. We’re aiming to deploy the fixes early next week.
Thank you
Good to hear, I’ll hold further judgement till then in that case. Thanks for the info.
It’s good this system may get fixed. Maybe. A year from now. Because I’m not sure what ANet is doing, but they’re not doing it fast.
Still, if this system is working as designed, they need better designers. If it’s not working as designed, they need better QA. Either way, the quality of the NPE is beyond low.
They’ve generally fixed patch bugs pretty fast, from my recollection.
Mesmer
But in all seriousness, as I said when this was first posted, I’ll wait and see.
While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!
So the intended result was for it to not work anymore?
Why wasn’t this told in the blog? Not exciting enough?
Clearly it would have made reading the blog far to complex.
Guys, this is a bug and we’re working on fixing it right now. I want to take a second to remind you of two things that we’ve mentioned before: First, if you see something that you think isn’t working properly, please use /bug in game so the right people can be notified immediately. (Talking it over on the forum is fine too–sharing the details with us and other players can be enormously helpful)
Second, datamined content is unfinished and subject to an enormous amount of change, so it’s always a bad idea to make assumptions about a situation based on it.
5 months ago it was: The VIP system and items will NEVER be coming to US/EU
Now it is in the game files and it is “unfinished and subject to change”
I’ll remain skeptical… If VIP comes to US/EU I will be gone and I will do my best to take everyone I know with me.
Now to be fair, that was mined a while ago. As were many other things that never made it in.
I can see it now. As a new player, You spend a few pain stakingly minutes getting up that really hard puzzle. You finally make it to the top waiting to get your chest, but wait! Instead you are greeted with a message: “Sorry, you cannot get this reward right now, try back when you are a higher level”
When does all this stuff about the game being too complicated/confusing for new players end? It’s a wonder how some of us made it through the first two years 0_o. If things need to be simplified that much for new players, I feel pretty special right now.
Uuuh………they might be level gated also, gonna test after this teq map I’m in.
The screenshot says it all. Ladies and gentlemen; we are witnessing the end of an MMO (or the jobs of certain upper level management heads).
I can’t possibly fathom the data to suggest new players were too stupid to click on goggles and leap from a cliff. Something has to be done about this. All of this precious development time wasted on useless gameplay limits.
It just really confuses me. Like I can’t think of ANY gain for the players OR Anet from changes like this. I just can’t fathom why they would do this.
While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!
Just horrible that they’d lock this away. Unnecessary backtracking since you’ll have to come back at a later time for it. Read on Reddit someone couldn’t interact with skillpoint, undoubtedly also locked behind some level requirement.
It appears Jumping Puzzles start at 21, I had a scroll-leveled Necro I logged into today just to verify she was stripped of her utilities (which she was, lost my 9). At level 21 I had Jumping Puzzles pop on screen with my level unlocks. Could anyone with a lower level char or free slot please verify if JP chests can be interacted with if under lv21?
The delay is probably due to Halloween festivities / paranormal goings on throughout Tyria. (One can only hope anyway)
This also means there will likely be another break in the LS in December / January for the return of Tixx and the infiniarium for the Christmas holidays.
Personally I am ok with the delay in the LS if it is for these events.
Unless, of course, these events break the immersion of the new living story.
That is true. Also how do you level / time gate Halloween and Christmas so that you aren’t overwhelming new players?
It is really sad that is virtually impossible to pin down the direction / vision of the game. So many things just contradict one another.
I swear if they level gate any of Halloween…….god I’m terrified of how my friend will react if she finds she is unable to participate in all of it, she is so looking forward to it.
I’m loving the new leveling rewards and I’m actually excited (created 2 alts since yesterday) to see what is the next reward.
I’m motivated to level up now,it actually feels like a whole new experience,and I’m loving it (:
So,yes,I’m against the rollback.
Tbh, I don’t think it’s the rewards people have an issue with, that is a good change.
What is stupid and completely insulting is Anet thinking we need to wait till 40 for a full skill bar, or new player’s would not be able to comprehend it. Not to mention the other level gates now in place.
If they absolutely refuse to change this, we should be given the option of this new version, or the old version (with gear rewards for leveling) upon creating a character.
Unrelated: I love people who disagree with you, say they’re gonna do something else and stop arguing, then whisper you the final word and then block ya before you can reply.
The standard complaints about this game usually involve the open world being way too easy. It’s much easier with everything unlocked. But you can still pretty much 1 your way through everything if that’s what you want to do and you know how to kite.
Breaking News: All weapon skill get removed to make the game more challenging!
Seriously, that’s a stupid answer. Making the game more challenging by cutting the ability of the player to react properly to certain situations?
I love how people take one paragraph out of a whole respond and then try to claim the answer is stupid. Totally out of context.
I’m not saying it’s better because it’s more challenging. I’m saying that the complaints about it being harder are quite silly to me. At least to me it wasn’t much harder at all. It’s all the other stuff that makes the change good for me.
I wish people would see the forest instead of the leaves sometimes.
Remind me to poke a friend who isn’t still sore about City of Heroes about starting up a new account and I’ll have to run an experiment how long before they decide to crawl back to WoW.
That’d be interesting, seeing how a real new person goes.
Well, I already found 7 new players completely confused (they started just before the patch from what they told me) as to why the suddenly could not interact with a skill point.
A friend of mine who started playing a day or so prior is absolutely disgusted by the changes, she much preferred the old system.
And Vayne, I’m sorry, but I can possibly believe you’d be foolish enough to support this. It teaches new players nothing, it improves nothing for them, and it just makes everything so much more tedious.
That video was dripping with sarcasm yes, but he also made nothing up. He said it exactly as it was and you’d be a blind fool not to admit that.
How about you find 7 players that started after the update and see what they think, since that was the point of that conversation.
Common sense dictates it’s best to have the opinions of a new player from before and after so they have (some) knowledge of both version.

For any of those player competing for rank on the leader boards I’d sure as heck say it’s p2w.
So imo. NO They should not.
Honestly, do people actually pay attention to the leader boards for AP? I thought it was agreed a while ago they were joke.
Anyways from what I saw it looks like what, 1 AP per tier and some scraps for the black lion weapons? It’s not like it’s 50 AP like it is for a amberite set.
