I’d be fine with the removal of the dowend state. Takes too long to get my bags from downed players.

If it is here to stay, stealth stomp is fine, just like all the other stomps that cannot be stopped.

slingblade.1437:

Remove the coin cost from upgrades. Hundreds of supply is enough of a cost already.

Yes.

The supply and time it takes is enough. There shouldn’t be any cost out of the players pockets.

I would like to be able to page a few bars and have 5 slots per bar.

I have trap/siege blueprints that I would like to have there in addition to food/stone/oil.

I have also asked for this quite a while ago.

So, I managed to log on but ended up logging off shortly after.

Trying to log in again and I’m getting another connection error.

It acts like it wants to download something but it flips between 1 and 0 kb

Same error.

That easy to fix stop spending money on the gem store for RNG like effects. You CAN get the items from the current event with out using the gem store you simply have no reason to complain for this event but your trying to use past complains to make it seem as if you have a point.
Truly only one event so far was gem store only F&F weapons every other event had weapons you could get by killing mobs one way or another mainly by DOING the event that month could get you most of the items from it. Just being able to sit back and blow gem / money to get everything from that even is simply wrong.

Duh on not spending money in the store. What a brilliant suggestion. Never in a million years would I have ever thought of that, oh wait, I said I wasn’t going to.

Really, do you read?

Seriously.

The point, you miss yet again, is I would like it if ANet would put the item in the store itself, without relying on RNG.

How dense do you have to be to keep missing what I’ve been trying to say. So far, your responses have first been calling me greedy, which I’m not, then you still think advise like not buying RNG items in the store is something worth posting.

Let’s look at your counter argument. Don’t buy something. Hey, easy enough.

You also blather on about events and killing stuff and how you think buying stuff from the gem store is wrong, and I’m not getting everything. Hey, everyone can do what they wish in the game, you do what you want, you don’t need to force me to play the game in your fashion.

You know what would be a good suggestion if you really want players to play the game and accomplish everything for such a item, put in a quest that will guarentee me a item I so desire. I don’t mind working for it, I dislike RNG though because I can spend weeks trying to get a skin and never getting it, I have accepted this is what game companies tend to do with loot. I don’t mind farming some but I don’t care to run the same thing over and over just to get something. It wasn’t a challange before, isn’t a challenge again, just give me what I’ve worked for at this point so I can go play a different aspect of the game that I would much rather partake in.

Let’s look at a suggestion I made in this thread. Put stuff that I want in the store without me relying on RNG. Hey, easy enough also.

Did you also notice that I’m not going to force you to play a certain way with my put the items in the store for out right purchase suggestion. You don’t even have to pay attention to the stuff in the store.

You can purchase that RNG stuff, maybe get the item cheaper than purchasing the item right out which is the route I would choose. ANet gets money for my gem purchase and it supports their work in developing such skins. Win-Win for everyone.

If someone wants to purchase vanity items in the store, there is nothing wrong with that, regardless of your opinion.

Here is my edit.

I bought a bunch of boxes with gold from the TP. Got my skin. I didn’t have to farm for them at all. I just sat back and bought some.

ANet could have made some gem money off of me if they had just put it in the store to begin with as a purchase now item instead of the RNG boxes they want to sell.

Those dragon skins for instance could let out a roar.

I’d like it if the various warhorn skin sounded different, something that fit the skin theme.

My first necro was in a different game.

I remember it well.

I was looking through the race forums, human section, and I necro’ed a post with a reply that I played human females because I liked looking at their backside more than other races or gender.

While I agree that wrecking golems on purpose is a problem, I think it is funny that the tone of your post is suggesting based upon a name that the player is doing this for blackgate.

The name could have been anything and the player could just be trolling both servers by using such a name. I don’t think you care to believe that though.

Jski.6180:

The thing is in this event the main one we are talking about has less RNG in the gem store and more outside of the gem store. This is HOW F2P games or B2P games work for an mmorpg.
Your letting past events cloud your judgment on what they are doing this time. If you could only get weapons from the gem store you have a point but that just not how it is in this event or do you think some how the events that passed would changes in some time travel event?
Any way your right not every one is about story that why there were back items lots of sub events and games there was also a new set of gear put out for your horizontal progression.
I am sry but at this point your coming off as the type who would say something about not getting enofe even if they gave you more you know being greedy.

No.

Thing is, I have no problem with the RNG in the game. I don’t mind that at all. If I want to play the RNG game, I’ll just play the game.

In the gem store, I dislike the RNG and would rather just buy the item out right, especially since I paid with real dollars.

Let me state this again.

I paid for gems with real money.

Real money.

REAL MONEY.

Just to make sure this is clear.

I pay for the gems with real money.

Not gold from in game.

R-E-A-L – - – - – M-O-N-E-Y.

If I purchase something with real money, I expect to not have to gamble unless I went to Las Vegas.

I’m not in Vegas.

I do not play this game in Vegas.

I do not live in Vegas.

I have never been to Vegas(not saying I wouldn’t like to go, just haven’t gone.)

I’m not here to gamble.

I’m here to buy with the gems that I acquired with real money.

Just to be clear, I paid for gems with real money.

I am sorry but you are coming off as the type who doesn’t care to understand at all. You should go back and check my previous post in this thread. If you did and you still stand by your answer, you are coming off at the type that doesn’t care to understand at all.

Jski.6180:

So you never got any of the back items? Did you not even do the story events because this is a game and not real life every thing you do for items IS pointless because its all .dat the only thing that has a point is how you feel about things mostly the story and what you get from doing that story with other ppl mind you IS the point.

That may be the point you do those things.

Some of us don’t give a kitten about the story. I dislike a lot of it in this game. I like WvW and only PvE to make gold and get the occasional skin that I have to rely on RNG instead of being able to just purchase from the gem store so I can skip doing all the crap story lines.

Thieves are fine.

To other thieves yes

To anyone that has aquired the knowledge in their class and abilities in handling a thief.

I figured out how to deal with them with my particular build. If I can, so can others. It doesn’t take that much to be able to learn how to deal with them, just a little bit of effort.

If you don’t want to learn how, you deserve everything the thief does to you.

Maybe if you would be so kind as to place a good solid explanation and tactics to take thieves down for both melee and ranged classes. I look forward to your findings.

I stated I learned how in relation to my particular build. I cannot teach you everything because there are so many different variation out there among all the classes. One way does not work for everyone, nor should it.

Even still, there have been pleny of posts stating how others have been able to learn how to deal with them and I would say they were specific to their build.

If you all can’t learn from all the many other posts on how to deal with thieves, why should I waste my time here doing the same again? If you didn’t want to learn in the first place, you won’t learn now and instead we will see these nerf threads because you all didn’t want to learn in the first place.

My complaint is the RNG in the gem store. Dyes, boxes, anything else RNG. I bought gems with real money so I would prefer to purchase the item that I so desire straight up instead of a item that gives me a chance at the object I desire. There is no guarentee that the item I want will appear in my inventory after using a RNG item even if I did purchase from the gem store. I could buy 1000 of those boxes and never get a ticket(technically that is probably a low chance of happening but it still can happen.) Just put the kitten item in the store and sell it to me without the stupid RNG.

If I want to play the RNG game, I’ll just play the game. I get plenty of RNG just playing the game. Stuff in the gem store though should offer some way for me the just purchase the item out right. I would purchase extra gems more often if they put the skins, dyes, etc that I specifically want.

I plan to purchase a few gems for the harvesting sickle and a few extra for the ax when it becomes availabe. I won’t be purchasing any extra gems beyond what I’ll need for those 2 items because I will not purchase any RNG items in the gem store.

Snowreap.5174:

well, I guess. if they don’t care about their rating and want to let this continue, that’s totally up to them. if rating matters to them, they need to watch the other servers scores and keep them in check.

I assume that if you’re posting here about it, rating matters to you. so you need to persuade your teammates that it should matter to them too.

I think a lot of people don’t understand the rating system and think that the only thing that matters is winning (specifically, that winning by a little bit is good enough). but the rating system doesn’t really care who wins, what it cares about is how well you scored relative to your competitors, compared to how your relative ratings would have predicted. gaining rating isn’t about winning, it’s about beating expectations.

-ken

Supposedly SoR plays for the fights, not points.

Their fair weather players like to play for points it seems. They have a lot more when they started winning points than when they were getting beat.

Looks like TSym plays for points. They probably should have picked a different server that fit their play style since they want to play for points.

I’d just like to get rid of personal costs.

Upgrades should just be free. It still takes time to get upgrades done, it still costs supply to get upgrades done, it shouldn’t require a player to dip into their pockets to upgrade.

Beyond being a money sink and not a very good one at that since some servers only have to upgrade once for a match and even if they get flipped, they don’t get flipped enough to really justify it being called a money sink.

One or two doesn’t count. Not sure if they are a bug.

Check the wiki or dulfy.com. I think it was dulfy that I found that out.

You already got your stuff for buying the collectors eddition.

How about you continue to support the game by buying gems? That is why people got something free.

You have only bought the game but, you have not continued to support the game with gem purchases with cash. You do not deserve anything extra.

Someone that is good doesn’t need to go to LA and say to all that they are good.

Anyone that thinks they need to state such deserves to be ripped.

All they are doing is boasting. No matter how you are trying to present it, it is still boasting, bravado, bragging, and people like that need their ego taken down several notches.

Several times in WvW, I would be with a small group getting back to a fight. The other server has a group running a delay tactic.

The group running back to the fight isn’t in a party together, we are all in our own parties, we are on TS but we don’t want to talk to over the commander and we didn’t group up just to run back because it is rather cumbersome to have to drop party, join up just to run back in the event that the other server is using a delay tactic.

I would like to be able to call out a target for non-party members so that we can coordinate effectivly and focus on a target.

It would make it easier for non-partied players to coordinate siege shots.

This would also help in PvE. In a downed state, a critter is almost dead and someone starts to res me when it would be faster to just dps the mob which is at very low health that I’m trying to rally off.

I would also like to see the target a commander has called out.

Warrior and guardian when built tanky will do well in a zerg.

Elementalists are wanted for fields. Need to tank it up and you’ll mostly be doing fields for blast finishers.

Necros are also desired, they have several things that can be nasty. They can also tank it up fairly well.

I’ve seen some tough engineers but I see them roam more. Even though they were roamers, they were tough little buggers to kill.

Rangers have that root that can be a pita when you have everything else dumped on you and so much stuff going on, it can be difficult to see the roots binding your feet. The roamers have been tough to kill.

Thieves are not very good in a zerg. They are good for 1v1 but they don’t tank up very well, they can but I couldn’t find a gear set up that would survive long enough. They also don’t have very many group synergy traits.

You would do best to no try and suicide. Suicide charge doesn’t work.

I won’t buy RNG boxes.

I would buy the skins had they just offered them for gems. I’d even purchase extra gems to get the skins.

LOL at all the 2v1 stuff. It is a 3 way match. We all get double teamed at some point.

LOL at Sophtspoken. You really need to get a clue.

As the title says.

I would rather purchase the specific item.

I very much dislike RNG in the gem store, especially if I bought gems with real money.

If I want to play RNG, I will play the game, not purchase items and hope RNG works in my favor.

Is it a finale as in the end of the entire event? If this, what time will the last fireworks happen?

or

Is it a finale as in a fireworks finale so I can basically watch any fireworks event to get my loot?

JonSnow.5610:

I see your points about about encouraging small groups and I agree with that. Tkittenence of splitting up groups boils down to that idea.

But how would you go about encouraging small groups? In EB it’s near impossible to run smaller groups in higher tiers without facing AC fire or a bigger group.

I cannot answer how to encourage it.

I see too many problems, intentional and unintentional with causing a debuff on a group just because of x number of people in a group.

For example, say a server is attacking garrison, people know that is happening, not everyone however knows that there is a commander with enough people to not be given a debuff. Along come some people to help defend, they like garrison fights(I really like the 3 ways, even with skill lag) don’t know the commander has just enough people and cause a debuff causing the server to loose it’s upgraded garrison.

Then there is the single note bell spammer that is intentionally trolling. They can see an opportunity to cause the server to loose a important structure as well as spam their note.

Debuffs will also cause guilds that like to roll together to not be able to roll together. My guild can field a little over the number of a commander group. If any debuff were to be applied, it would most likely be the size of the commander group. So we won’t be able to have all of our guildies rolling together because it will cause a debuff, even though we are rolling with just over the number available in a commander group.

I think maps need to be redone, not so uniform, and have more objectives that encourage smaller groups without penalizing those that roll with a large zerg.

I have no problems with a boost to gold, xp, wxp, even give smaller groups faster speed is fine, that isn’t penalizing large groups.

I do not agree with any kind of penalty to players just because there is x number in a area.

If you want to encourage small teams, that is fine but penalties to encourage such activity is bad.

You can treb and I think cat from a spot near the boarder land spawn part. That will hit the stuff at the very top of that rock. Not really a good place unless you can get the other server asleep.

Zoom hack I’ve been seeing lately there. A certain other server that is in my match and also the last match was at the base of the cliff, down at the bottom where you portal up from a supply run, with the AC right against the cliff face. No way at all anyone can hit from there unless they are using a zoom hack.

Terrahero.9358:

Imagine a world without Righteous Indignation. We could make deals with guilds from another server to swap Keeps over and over and over without that buff. Killing the Lord and claiming with a group of 20 people takes just a minute.

Keep Cap reward every 2min. Yah i like the sound of that. And if we cant make a guild-guild alliance for this farm, im sure we can get an agreement with a small roaming group and swap camps. Still good karma/exp/wxp farm.

So you got my vote! Remove RI!

You can still farm.

Take the whole south set of camps and two towers. Takes about 5 minutes to bust down a door and cap then make it to the next tower.

Can easily rotate through there. Even if you cut out a tower because you cant get that server to agree(then you spawn camp until the just leave,) easily farmable if you wanted to make a deal with the other server.

When I went to a naga/nostromos from a logictec/(stupid word filter is filtering wolf and king when they are joined as one word) warrior, it took me a while to learn how to not mash the other buttons. I have a fat thumb. Nostromos wasn’t really a problem, mouse is what took the time and I’m not going to let 12 buttons go to waste just because I can’t get used to it.

Was several months before I got the muscle memory. I still occasionally mash a button but I still have a fat thumb.

How long have you been trying? May be able to give it time to get used to it.

Please use a paragraph break. I couldn’t read your whole paragraph. Gave me a headache.

A TLDR would also help if you don’t want to use paragraphs.

I’m serious, not trying to flame, just tried to read you whole post and I just couldn’t.

I think you want the Sanctum to be a PvP free zone.

If they make the Obsidium Sanctum a PvP free zone, they need to remove the badges from the chest.

I don’t mind it being a PvP free zone as long as those badges are gone.

I don’t mind it be a PvP zone either. Gives some players a place to duel. I’ve seen several doing that while a few from the other server mates stood aside. No reason to really bring a whole zerg inside there so it is a good place to have such events in their non-sPvP gear set. Some like to fight with all the stats and traits outside of sPvP.

Hexgame.4802:

New challenge!

Start a new Charr character and run from Plains of Ashford to Gates of Arah.

You aren’t allowed to buy new gear, use traits or utilities, use speed buffs or use Asura gates. First one to arah wins!

I did that with my warrior last year when I rolled him.

Very, very hard.

Very easy to die.

Also ran to Claw of Jormag teleport spots from the dredge tunnel. This was easier. Not much but easier.

I just wanted to see if I could do it.

Any type of penalty to players just because they have x number in a area is a bad idea.

If you want to encourage small man teams, that is fine, but it should be done without any penalty to players just because they have x number in a certain area.

I like big fights. I don’t mind zergs. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean a penalty should be applied to “fix” some perceived problem.

Spencer.1386:

Ascended gear is stupid and should never have been added. I agree however that this game’s pve is very easy and the game could certainly use some difficulty increases. I imagine that increases the complexity of the AI would do wonders for difficulty. Mobs in GW1 fought as groups and packs where designed to compliment each others abilities. GW2 is designed to be solo friendly and thats okay but the monsters are so bland. Most simply auto attack and often fail at doing even that. We need more abilities and a more aggressive AI that isn’t so easily foiled. A perfect example is GW1 mob AI would cause mobs to run out of aoe. In GW2 mobs just stand in aoe.

I don’t think mob AI will solve all the problems and it is hard to code good mob AI. I do think it will help but I don’t think it will really to far enough.

Part of the problem is that the trinity is totally removed so that it isn’t needed. I’m not baging on it, I don’t mind that it is gone, it is just much harder to make encounters with more variety since classes don’t need to bring anything except DPS.

If the professions were designed so that you could build for totall self sufficiency or trinity, it would be much easier to create content.

DDO did a pretty good job of doing that. Trinity was not needed in there at all but you could build for such a set up. Rogues took care of traps, had lots of dps and could be self sufficient. Bards could CC, brought DPS boost, and could be self sufficient. Clerics and wizards could solo content. Only problem with that game was barbarians which needed a cleric healing you all the time so that the barbarian could actually shine. They could build a self sufficient barbarian but the DPS loss was huge because of how that class worked.

There is no need for anything other than DPS in this game.

There are no traps for any class to disable. There is no need for CC because aside from drops, who really cares about trash mobs. Don’t need a healer. Don’t need any other support type class.

I don’t mind the removal of the trinity but because of that, it makes it much harder to give anyone anything special to bring to a group. Some professions have very selfish traits to choose from and any that work with a group pretty much sticks them into a particular build.

All game companies want to make money.

While there may be a few games that cater to hardcore gamers, they are fewer because casuals will end up spending more money in the long run because there will be a larger pool of players to draw from.

Trying to cater to the hardcore players would mean they have to draw from another hardcore game. Players stuck on their hardcore game don’t want to really leave because of all that time they have invested as well as any real money.

It is much easier to draw from a pool of casual players because they are not as attached to other games and they are a much larger pool and easier pool to draw from since they are not as attached to any particuar game.

What did you really expect? This is the way of the industry, how it will be going in the future. Very few games that cater to hardcore players while there will be a plethora of games that appeal to casual gamers.

I think it is funny that people think they know that the zerg doesn’t have skill when they really have no clue at all. Juat a bunch of assumptions based upon their ego after getting rolled by that zerg.

I also think that a lot of you people have other issues seeing as how you feel people should be punished just because they don’t have any game knowledge. Never heard of newbs before obviously.

A lot of ego stroking in here from those that think they have the 733tz skillzzzz.

Ignorant comment man. There are numerous 5 mans with video footage of 5 rickrolling your “you have no idea about us Zerg”… If there was so much unfairly unnoticed skill those videos wouldn’t exist. Not here to troll, not interested in mindless conversation. Interested in Anet waking up and making the game COMPETITIVE.

MartyPartys.9187:

Accounts are probably listed as active or inactive. For example players that don’t log in for a month would be listed as inactive. Could cause a status to change this way.

That doesn’t really explain why servers go from full to very high within a 24h. Then do it the next day, the day after.

I’ve seen BG go from full to very high when I’ve guested, same with the other full servers.

Warlord.9074:

Castaliea.3156:

So he’s proud that his server is now even more stacked than BG and JQ?

Actually no, I just loged in game and at this time JQ and BG are both full. 3:36 US East coast time. While SoR is only very high. Right now BG is leading in PPT. Your servers are still way more stacked than SoR. If your not fielding the players at other times its becasue of what indo said.

Full does not equal WvW population.

Full does not equal stacked.

It does equal server population.

SoR is still stacked with more WvW players than JQ or BG.

BG and JQ have more people that like to play a wide variety of aspects of this game.

Aeonblade.8709:

Warrior can do some heavy damage, but is a lot harder to play in PvP and usually melts in the zerg before they can do enough damage.

They would only melt if they are full glass.

I’m usually one of the last standing if our group gets crushed.

It all depends upon the set up.

MisterEction.9382:

Does it seem that a lot of the ideas here manage to both punish people in guilds with a lot of people and punish people who like to have the ability to join a large group as they can or want without being forced to join a guild at the same time?

Exactly who benefits from changing WvWvW? If I were in a large guild, I’d hate having to not be able to do things together or being penalized for doing things together. As a player that likes to be able to join large groups as I can or want, I’d hate having to join teams or guilds just to be able to play in smaller groups or having to play solo to get decent rewards.

If you like playing in small groups or soloing things, there are plenty of places on the maps where there aren’t zergs at any given time, just keep moving and avoid the zergs.

If the five of you can’t hold the tower against fifty, well, enjoy your Alamo achievement. Which actually would be a nice line achievements – gain credit towards them when you hold an X or Y or Z vs. superior numbers for a period of time before failing…

My main concern for punishing people for grouping is the one player that comes into the area and puts the group over the threashold and we are all penalized even though they did nothing but come to the structure we are attacking.

Opens up opportunity to griefing. That single note bell ringer will also be able to hamper the group attacking a keep since all they have to do is put us over the limit. The new player will get chewed out because they didn’t know about the penalty since it is their first time in WvW, will not have a very good impression.

Penalizing for grouping up is a stupid bad idea.

If people want to encourage small grouping, that is fine. Just don’t encourage by penalizing players for coming together in a large group.

Thieves and stealth are fine.

I was able to acquire the knowledge on how to deal with them with my character.

Liu.4751:

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

I disagree with any kind of suggestion that penalizes players just because there is x number in a certain area.

I don’t. have any points why instead of just an disagreement.

Liu.4751:

Secondly, that would hope quell large zergs..“sigh” steam rolling other teams who haven’t woke up yet. We need to quell zergs completely. how do we do this. We dont want to quell players. You put in a buff what in a sense debuffs players, just do it. Like some kind of uncertainty buff like they are unsure their lands are safe this would immediately quell zergs. Now what about for the other side make the buff scale more based on your amout of players to a point that the zergs will just die because it be a back and forth of debuffing of their attributes until they die and players realize that there’s no point in forming the kittenm thing. Now zergs are fun but more smaller ones, tactical ones.

This is a penalty. I do not agree with any kind of penalty to players just because there are a lot in a area.

Just because you don’t like zergs, doesn’t mean you need to kill them. Some don’t mind running in them in addition to running in small teams.

The bonuses of a claiming guild should also apply automatically or have a set amount of time for them to activate or they loose the claim if the bonuses don’t activate.

It shouldn’t include supply carry bonus. There should be a min amount of combat type bonuses but can’t be all, not all guilds can run with all bonuses and a few is better than none.

If a guild with more available bonuses wants to claim, they should have some way to over ride the previous claim. If they don’t apply more bonuses than the previous claim, the previous claim should be reverted, otherwise, there can still be those troll guilds claiming just to mess things up.

I disagree with any kind of suggestion that penalizes players just because there is x number in a certain area.

I’ve seen a lot of the rifle warriors. Have yet to see a longbow one. Longbow types tend to be rangers. They like to root.

I don’t think I’ve ever said that there were just hammer warriors, just a lot of warriors in general.

AlBundy.7851:

because what you’re saying doesn’t match what is happening in the game

Can’t speak for what others have seen but I’ve seen a bunch of marks on the ground in a lot of fights. I don’t know much about necro just that they have some stuff that hurts so I’m unsure if one can put down as many as I’ve seen. It seems like that there is at least 1 squad of necros in each server on all the maps they have a largish zerg on. I’ve seen just marks up the south dredge tunnel on EB. I’ve seen a lot placed down typically in hills, bay, and garrison. Not so much open but more when there is some kind of funnel. Either way, I know they have them. Could be perception but everyone has a different perception of how things are.
