Did Arenanet Fall Asleep At The Wheel?

It could help the economy out a bit, but I don’t think it’s life or death at the moment.

would u like it if

In some ways I really would like it. They could do away with anti-exploit NPC invincibility, which is commonly very unfair to honest players.

Hard mode and vanquishing would be pretty cool.

Check out the suggestions forums tomorrow though, I hope to start a nice discussion on 200% map completion so we can have some of these benefits without the need for instancing.

I’m kind of sad I don’t see half-RPers hanging out in in-game pubs anymore.

LA has some really cool ones.

I don't understand the logic of Map completion/jump puzzles in WvW

in WvW

Posted by: DarkWasp.7291

DarkWasp.7291

I agree with the OP. There should be separate completions.

I actually enjoy WvW, but I would feel a little dumb trying to manipulate 20+ people to help me take out a tower just so —> I <-- can get a point of interest.

I’ve been pretty fortunate and only have 2 points left, but I know of several servers who may be months away from even the possibility of world completion.

So much for encouraging people to join lower pop servers and spread out.

Generally in the evenings GMT -5, but it depends on the day. Roughly around the time where the daily achievements reset or a few hours after.

We have a member that juggles between our guild and another, representing the other when it starts getting too late for most of us.

If you want to do something similar we wouldn’t mind.

I’d have to agree with this.

I don’t think neither you nor we want us sifting through every support and/or moderator action on this forum.

Aside from the mouse-scroller scrolling the camera in and out if you move your cursor outside the items list (but still inside the crafting window) I do not find the update to be messy at all.

Nothing wrong with the option to organize though. I would love to see more nifty features like that added.

Karma Scaling

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: DarkWasp.7291

DarkWasp.7291

It would be nice if they implemented a karma boost to counter-act the anti-farm scale.

Something that would give explorers a significant boost and makes the legendary weapon farm more enjoyable.

Something that would notify and reward those who go help with group events which have been all but abandoned in the middle zones.

Something that encourages players to play the game rather than spend 2-4 months of 16 hour days farming the same place.

Bumping because this happened to me today.

Stay away from Historian Fia! She’s a nasty boost thief!

I lost 30 minutes of magic find.

Dye soulbound

DarkWasp.7291

I like soulbound dyes. Adds more progress-personalization to secondary characters.

When things are a major chore I often prefer it to be account bound rather than character bound, but I do not find collecting dyes to be a major chore.

How long do you see yourself playing GW2?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: DarkWasp.7291

DarkWasp.7291

I read your post.

I see myself playing GW2 for a long time because I am working toward getting a legendary weapon. In a lot of ways I can feel the GW1ness in the endgame of GW2, and GW1 lasted me from release until GW2. Off and on of course.

When it comes to dungeons, I do agree with them making changes right now. While I am more motivated than my friends to do dungeons, I would have to agree with their reasons for being reluctant to start one. Right now most of them have two modes: boring or nerve-wracking.

To do them all once would be one thing. Unfortunately, the rewards for story mode are very lacking.

However, I am enjoying the rest of the game. The Mystic Forge itself is a great addition that contributes to longevity.

The OP is referring to the standalone achievement. The rest of you are referring to the monthly version.

Hey Everyone! Please Fail Grenth Priest event...

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: DarkWasp.7291

DarkWasp.7291

I’ve seen this problem real bad today. Two people were being absolutely nasty because some people were doing what they though was right and completing events.

This is just wrong, and having the nasty ones banned wouldn’t be enough. In a way they are absolutely right, just with -200% tact.

These events NEED to be fixed. It is better to fail and that’s just wrong. Right now most of the successes are accidental, people who aren’t up with the cursed shore culture and the way things work. But eventually they can get seriously trolled by people with malicious intent.

If anything, the events should be disabled until this is fixed to prevent further conflicts.

Knights of Eminence

Exploring – PvP – Dungeons – WvW – Achievements – Crafting

http://knightsofeminence.wordpress.com/

“Our goal is to make lasting friendships and enjoy an awesome game to its fullest!”


Key information summary:

-Members (1/20/13): 45
-Operations: PvP, PvE, or anything else the game throws at us
-No mandatory operations, forum participation or crafting partnerships
Ex: You will not be kicked because you couldn’t/didn’t want to attend a guild dungeon run
-Members are friends, not workers – We’re mature but not distant
-Server: Blackgate
-Guild boosts maintained


Guild Information
We are a friendly band of Guild Wars 2 pioneers who enjoy exploring the game’s world and all of its features. We may be found stalking partially-annoyed people around Divinity’s Reach, showing off in front of the lads and lasses of Tyria, slaying giant monsters and hoarding everything valuable and pretty to ourselves. If there’s an adventure, we’re on it. If there’s fame and glory to be earned, we’re there. If something seems just plain fun, we won’t miss it. We are knights, and our guild is our kingdom.

Currently we have been doing standard dungeons a lot and aspiring to do FOTM more. We are also greatly looking forward to features that could bring open world PvE back alive.

On the PvP side we end up in WvW more often than sPvP. WvW is more cooperative and that’s what we’re all about. Not that we don’t party up for sPvP from time to time.

Guild Attitude
We are a laid back guild. We are all about playing the game, not always winning or hosting mandatory events. We do, however, strongly encourage cooperation and social interaction. You will never need a guild leader or officer’s permission to organize an event of your own, whether it be a dance party on the highest point of Lion’s Arch or an organized WvW raid. Our goal is to make lasting friendships and enjoy an awesome game to its fullest!

Activities

  • Dungeon clears/runs
  • Crafted legendaries: Kudzu and The Dreamer
  • Leveling alts
  • sPvP
  • WvW
  • Daily and monthly achievements
  • Fractals of the Mists
    *Making builds
  • .etc

Research and ranks

  • Guild emblem
  • Guild armor and weapons
  • Boosts (we try to maintain them at an almost constant rate)
  • Banners
  • Guild vault
  • WvW fort buffs, as we’ve been the driving force on a few towers

Leaders = Founders
Officers = Ministers
Members = Knights

Region and server
We are centered in America in the EST time zone [GMT-5]. Anyone can join, regardless of time zones, as we do not have mandatory meetings or operations.

We play on the server: Blackgate

Size
Current roster: 45 members
Goal: To keep an active guild chat and many co-op opportunities without growing so big that we become crowded and impersonal. Could be anywhere from 35-100 members, depending on the activity level of each individual.
