Why are people ok with glory booster removal?

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

What about people who spend gems in the store to buy Lion Chest ( so glory booster ) and people who bought directly Glory Booster with gems ?

Then they ended up wasting money, just like how I spent $80 to get digital deluxe edition and a year later it ends up selling for $60 instead.

I at one point bought glory boosters with gems, before they had gold quality tournament chests at every win. I am just going to have to deal with it, times change.

Why I've changed my mind on Ascended

I’m positive those timed events are balanced off having exotics and not ascended armor. That would make the events near impossible since a mass majority of the game only has exotics.

Honestly though, the only problem I have with ascended armor is the sheer amount of gold it takes to get it. I spent over 200g just to get pieces!

Haha, there was a time I did buy glory boosters with gems. Right when the game first launch and it was actually difficult to get them. Oh man, if there was only a way to refund them now.

I have literally two stacks of glory boosters now. There’s not much they can do with them, glory itself is being removed.

Why in the world did you keep glory in the first place when you could have easily traded it for Gold? We knew months ahead that glory was being removed.

Frostfang : Offhand effects fixed?

Unfortunately like other games art bugs are pretty low priority. IN world of Warcraft Female trolls have never blinked since beta. Tauren have no eyes in the portrait either. Both of those never fixed. We are not even sure if they fix it on the model updates!

IN the original Guild Wars there were several clip issues with weapons that were never fixed either, unfortunately with art bugs you just simply have to live with them.

Quality of Life Features?

I think they should remove all insignia plans for ascended armor and ascended armor to be reworked to allow you to swap stats on it.

It’s just too risky to make ascended armor, spend 300+ gold on it and just find out there’s a better stat distribution you didn’t know about prior to making it.

Skyhammer has literally put nothing but bad experiences in the game.

I mean really, people abused sky hammer to farm glory points for 1-2 months before they decided to “fix it”. Virtually every tournament player hates sky hammer, are there any positives to this map?

Randomly getting d/c'd

Posted by: Chase.8415

Technically speaking, upgrading your security programs to be more strict doesn’t do any good if you suspect that there is something wrong; once a virus is in your computer its a lot harder to remove. Virus checkers are more of a prevention and does not guarantee results when you are infected.

When you are experiencing technical issues, especially with disconnecting at random intervals unfortunately you end up being the only person and asking for technical support is really not going to get you anywhere, even with official support channels.

Your best bet is to check for router issues, and or flatten and reload windows on your computer. You can be fighting with this for hours, or you can spend the time to reload windows and fix 99% of your problems with a computer.

Client crash = Desonorable BAN

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

If all it took was to convince the game you crashed to avoid dishonorable it would be abused.

There really is no solution other than to stop crashing and get a more stable computer/network.

You are causing your teammates to lose if you keep crashing all the time, if you don’t have a stable network then perhaps you shouldn’t be playing tournaments.

Lvl requirement for tournaments

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

I do not support rank requirements into getting into tournaments. This goes against the heart of the game in regards to PvP with everything being accessible from the start.

If you are actually good in PvP eventually your MMR will rise to the point where having a low level in your team is not frequent.

jk, match making doesn’t work
supposely top 1000 match
yes, it was 4v5 too
and such crap happens more often than actual normal matches

That screenshot is baseless as there is no indication of when it was taken. You could be trying to claim that it happened recently, but significant changes have been made to the MMR system and from my experience I have never experienced it worse unless I was the same MMR as a new player.

seriously – you say wvw don´t get enough attentition and spvp too much?

even read patch notes?
arenanet devs don´t care for spvp while WvW get all the new shiny things

Wrong. PvP AND WvW are like forgotten step children. PvP received 3 new maps since launch and that’s about it. WvW received OS, eotm, and a rank system.

Compare either of those to the amount of PvE content. PvE is the love child.

Actually I’d say they are about even, PvE has only gotten an achievement system and fractals. Nothing else is new in PvE in terms of content, the rest is quality of life.

Resetting the personal story might be a problem for some, some may view it as lack of effort from the development team that all of their personal story was reset. Believe me, people will complain just about anything.

When the account wallet came out, people complained that they use their bank as a form of money management to prevent them from spending to much, and since the account wallet all funds including in bank were merged and it ruined their gameplay. I am being serious on this, people will complain.

There’s a little bit more work that needs to be done before providing race changes, such as cultural armor.

Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do in this situation but wait, or you can delete your main and re-roll another race. I used to be a born, but now I am a sylvari.

Levels - why do we have them?

It was originally intended to remove levels entirely, but they eventually moved into a kickback system where you could boost a low level into a higher level. They scrapped the idea and went with downscaling as it would feel to odd for a new player

You could always right click your equipment slot and find the exotics and equip from there.

Wait for it, its coming exclusivily at gem store, the bag that now unnequiped weapons go directly there!

Wouldn’t be exclusive if you can buy just that right off the BLTC.

There’s no need for diminishing returns because there is no gear inflation, they simply exist in other games because they increase the gear level every few months which causes several balancing issues.

Why is there a red team?

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

I don’t see this a problem because

A) Your screen is slightly tinted to the color of the team you are on.
B) Your unit frames are colored to the team you are on.
C) You have an option to turn of dyes and make them team colors.
D) When you are standing on a base, it becomes clear which team color you are on.
E) Mini map teammates are your team color, rather than the class colors.

Are you trying to claim they do not deserve top 11 because they have a 50/50 win rate? You do realize leadearboard ranking is based off a hidden rating. If he killed someone in the top 5 one game and lost 2 games against the top 10 his leaderboard ranking would theoretically increase

I was at 88% rating.

Lost a match.

Went at 90%.

There must be black magic involved.

Nope, rating deteriorates every hour. Your matchmaking rating however does not decay as fast. So it’s possible to lose a ranked match and gain rating, because your true rating (MMR ) was higher

If you were top 10 and went away for 2 weeks, you’d be like 80% and if you lost one match you’d snap back to top 50

Does Leaderboard decay affect your mmr?

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

Your MMR stays the same I believe. I didn’t play for two weeks and one win snapped me back into the top 700 again; from the bottom 50%!

Character Swapping mid match

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

This is what happens when you complain about leavers. People were abusing this and swapping characters in the middle of the match and not having to worry about staying until the match completed.

This is why it was returned. Pick and choose your battles accordingly next time.

Does score influence your rating?

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

This would not be a good idea because of the fact that there would be people who do not cap any bases but instead farm kills for the best points; or they would cap a base but not defend it and come back later.

This causes an issue because the whole point of the glory point rewards being redesigned was the fact that defenders in particular did not get the best glory amount, and it encourages team play rather than aiming for the highest points for personal glory.

didnt fix a thing

in PvP

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

There are players that play bad at rank 50, locking it out to rank 20 would make no difference considering the entire match system is based off a hidden rating.

In other words, if you are playing bad and performing the same as those rank 20’s, being rank 60 or rank 0 wouldn’t make any difference.

I was playing in gold tier tournaments at rank 4 when this game first launched, I was killing people beyond rank 10. It did not make a difference in skill level

I guess you’re just going to have to buy character slots, or not use the heal skill. They’re all bad anyways.

Mystery Coffers

PSA; gold conversion rate with winter’s day gifts is 5k glory 4gold o_o

what gold conversion?

You’re able to buy 10 gifts for 200 glory, then sell them in the black lion trader for 14 silver or so. So basically, if you’re buying mystic chests you are literally throwing money away, about 20 silver each chest.

I guess from an economic standpoint, its not really adding gold into the economy, since it comes from other players.

So… You make this thread about you leaving for 2 years but don’t share with us where are you going? How rude >:-/

Haha, I actually don’t know where I’m going yet. It’s for church business so I could be sent anywhere in the world. And the technology I mentioned is because the church has strict rules on when/where/why I can use technology. I’m hoping I’ll be sent to Africa or somewhere in Europe.

Rules about usage of technology… still at war with science, huh?

LOL, I honestly cannot take any religion seriously if they start restricting the use of technology being the art of evil.

But if thats what he wishes to do and thats his beliefs, he can live miserably for the next 2 years.

Gold Sellers

Posted by: Chase.8415

Chase.8415

Short question: Why dont you just block all connections to China and Russia? Would make things a lot easier. Especially since China got their own version of GW2.

Because there are legitimate customers in Russia and China playing this game on the NA/EU server. They are usally bi-lingual, which would allow them to play with others. Also, gold companies could invest in proxies which would bypass region locking; makes no sense to block and hurt your customers more than the gold sellers.

Also the gold selling in this game is very minimal, try playing another game and be bombarded with gold sellers all day long
