Greetings,

[SoR] is always looking for more. We are a laid back fun guild that resides on FA/DR but since we don’t wvw, that doesn’t matter much. We don’t have a lot of rep requirements, just when you run with us you rep. We have guild mission night on wen 8 pm cst, and fractal nights Mondays. We may have something in the works now for a raid night as well. Mostly we are just fun laid back people, so send me a whisper in game if your interested in giving us a test run.

Underwater Combat Needs Fixing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Deedrick.4372

Deedrick.4372

Not every trait should work under water, nor should every skill, there is the reverse and this definitely needs work.

The same for weapons, a great sword, just won’t work the same under water. You spend a fraction of the time underwater, it only needs a fraction of the weapons. The real flavor should come from skills.

There are lev 80 karma breathers exotic
There are ascended breather recipes on tp for a few copper, and the mats are not bad considering the waste on a breather. (Note these are the ones that drop in such excess from fractals we basically vendor trash them in the tp for a copper or two.)

I don’t aim to speak for other players, but its not a matter of feeling week, its a matter of weak AI and underwater enemies. It’s quite the opposite, because all I have to do is swim in a circle spamming 1 on just about any weapon and I will kill everything with out getting hit. There are few exceptions to this.

Now for the over all theme, I would love to see underwater redone and improved, but I won’t hold my breath.

Do we really need a new playable race?

Currently the only thing race offers is a tweak in skills in some game modes and 1/3 of the story being slightly different.

The down side to a new playable race is every set of armor will have to be deigned and tested on various models. See current complaints on char and asura armors and ask your self if any new race will be better.

Also their story would just be pigeon holed into the same crap the other races are set to do. This is mostly a guess and I am sure there is plenty of room to argue this point.

It would also create huge problems of QQ on the forums for the people who didn’t get their race of choice.

Personally I would rather see a better investment of time on ANet’s side instead of wasting time with something that has next to no impact on game play. This is the reason there was no new race in HoT, and I seriously doubt in the near future.

Nerf Chill like Alacrity

Deedrick.4372

I don’t see the problem with stacking chill. Its the same problem we used to have with condi’s. When I am specced to bleed and some one overwrote my condi... there when my build. I don’t think a stack of chill should increase the base effect. If there are 5 necros hitting the same target though, why don’t we all get the benefit of our chill stacking and doing damage, like burning? I think the nerf on alacrity was overboard and uncalled for as well. All I am saying is if burning, poison, bleeding can all stack to do the damage, why cant chill.

New Player Request

Deedrick.4372

Ugg another one of these. I don’t intend this as a rude retort to a new player. Welcome to GW2 btw, but if you look through the various forums, you will find a lot of these style of post. The forum search doesn’t work well, but if you google search the forum URL you will get huge amounts of results.

As far as the answer, play what you like. That is the ONLY reason to pick a class. Play how you want with what spec makes you happy. There will always be someone to tell you your build sucks if your not running meta, and there are always overly dramatic people that lament the woes of their classes. Ignore it all, and if you have fun playing something do it. If people have a problem with you playing that way, find new people.

I agree chill needs fixed. There is no reason for it not to stack like burn damage. It is totally broken.

As for the way points, do you really think people would get upset beyond “well back in my day we had to walk 20 miles up hill in the snow both ways to get to the way point”?

Yes, we would see as many gripes on this forum as we do give us mounts.

It seems you may be lacking some info. Since mega servers, unless you want to WvW your home server only matters if you are NA or EU. You don’t need to transfer for any other reason than to join your people in WvW. You no longer need to guest. We are always looking for people in SoR, but I’m afraid we do not ever RP. I wish you good luck in your search though.

I would like to see more ascended drops from fractals again. The current level yields less ascended than the daily PVP rewards. Then again the RNG has never been my friend.

When are we getting better UI?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Deedrick.4372

Deedrick.4372

Again, if they choose not, that’s fine, you are for sure correct. Look at the NPE changes because people couldn’t figure out this game mechanics. These are the people that Anet seems to cater to in this game. They are the same ones that may not be able to figure out UI customization depending on the difficulty. Just because it’s something you or I could breeze through, doesn’t mean everyone who plays could. Hence, if everyone cant figure it out, then those who can may get an advantage. So, if you can’t recognize that, then there is no point in further discussing this.

That’s true if it was their decision to shrink it, but if they didn’t know how to make it bigger to be able to see the same things, then it would be an advantage to you having it larger.

Deedrick.4372

A small hint. The chest you open give the same rewards regardless of your level. The blue/green/yellow gear drops are a level based on the opener. If you open chest at lower levels, you get lower level mats when you salvage. Try running a chest train, or save all the chest from HoT you get, then open then on a level 45/55 toon. You can probably just sell the mats to buy the ascended ones you need. Or you can open them on the toon that gives you the tier you need to craft with.

When are we getting better UI?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Deedrick.4372

Deedrick.4372

I think the point of the non custom UI’s was to attempt a fair to all for those who it would be over their heads on how to do it. No one has an advantage, because everyone sees basically the same thing.

The UI itself is nothing but information anyway, that all players have access to in a graphical form

So how is it an advantage if someone tailors the UI to their preference ?

In my eyes it’s no different than a user changing the in-game Audio, which by all accounts is perfectly fine.

Some people have different screen revolutions. Obviously with a massive screen you have more space to adjust the outputs you need without stepping on prime real estate. For easy example my 2560×1440 resolution I can have a pretty big chunk of mini map without it ever getting in my way. If someone is on a laptop running 1280×720 they will not have the same screen space with out having a scaled down harder to see mini map. This means better hardware has an advantage.

While that example is only for mini map, it does apply to all UI controls. On top of the hardware advantage, if a less computer literate person who could play the game, but didn’t know/understand how to build the UI in a custom way, they would be in same boat as the lower resolution, because they did not have customized UI controls.

Take a game like wow when you could use a custom XML mapped UI with tons of macros and various add ons, and you can see a clear picture of advantage in customization. Granted The UI is the lesser part of those three, imo it’s still an advantage in some degree.

I’m not quite sure how I feel about the sound argument, but I see other reasons for sound adjustments. How many times can you listen to the same audio loop in town while trying to clean your bags. And should you have to listen to that other players instrument because he paid money for it. I’m not sure sound is quite the same argument as UI.

Dungeons have been abandoned by Anet long before the player base abandoned them. I don’t think they are actually going to do anything about it. PvP has daily achievement farm servers that make it easy to get what your looking for without having to actually PvP.

Suggestion: Splash Damage

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Deedrick.4372

Deedrick.4372

Splash damage isn’t what is needed. I think taking off the 3 - 5 player cap on aoe type skills should be the first step. If a 100 people want to stand in a necro well, why shouldn’t they all get hit. If I am inspiring enough to buff you just by proximity why only 5... that should be named semi inspirational.

Cleaves and piercing arrows definitely should be limited by the way they work while not all melee should have a limit on the cleave, perhaps 100 blades is an example of a pile of people that should all get destroyed for standing in such an attack.

I think there is mechanics that can be looked at and adjusted before splash damage is added.

I guess I can almost see where your coming from on more people using the forge if they had to click less. At the same, time I think the QoL feature would be far greater to the people who just click when they have to craft 100’s of lodestones or hundred of clover recipes. I think there is a large volume of this request going back many years, so its not something I think we will see anytime soon, but it would be nice.

Hello and I should mention sometimes being a hermit is fun!! SoR is a smaller guild, we are looking to grow a bit. We currently do guild missions wen nights at 8pm CST and are putting together monday night activities (fractals). We are mostly adults spreading in age of 21 - well to old to mention. We require no rep and are on various hours of the day. Feel free to whisper for an invite and try us out for a fit. We are an NA guild of Fort Aspenwood/Devona’s Rest and our focus is pve. We have some that do WvW and others that do sPvP.

We are small enough that there is not always anyone on, but when we are, were friendly and fun.
