Guild Wars 2

i read before a developer response regarding this.

the events achievements cannot be progressed once the events are over.

i think new achievements will be made.

they should give us much more achievement points for harder time consuming challenges

the tp is fine as it is now.

dun fix what is not broken.

i played 48 games.
3 iron chests (last man standing)
45 wooden chests (participation)

got 3 desert rose skin
1 rare
the rest greens

gotten 2,500 points too.
average 53 points per game. not too bad i guess.

and i enjoyed the games.
but my gaming time is very limited.

will play southsun survival again the future when it enters the rotation, and has new achievements etc.

fellblades are single handed long swords in guild wars 1.

Only one thing thats wrong with it, camping in the water with rations where the ghosts cannot hurt you. The water needs to be a bit more dangerous.

maybe
skill slot 6 Shout “Vengeance Shall Be Mine!” gain +1 revenge mote, recharge time 10 seconds (nearby players can see this shout)
skill slot 7, 1 revenge mote = x1 baracuda (health 300)
skill slot 8, 2 revenge mote = x1 skelk (health 500)
skill slot 9, 3 revenge mote = x1 drake (health 1000)
skill slot 0 Elite Sight Beyond Sight, reveal all survivors location on map for 10 seconds. recharge timer 30 seconds

Or spawn a karka nearby?

karka costs 10 revenge motes. a bit expensive for late mist walkers. invincible too. not much fighting chance.

spawn some smaller creatures, let survivors use their arrows.

from here:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Southsun_Survival#Mist_Walker_skills

we have:
No. Name {Activation time} (Recharge Time) Description
1 Pull of the Mists {0} (1) Place a trap that instantly teleports you to whoever triggers it. Consumes 1 revenge mote.
2 Nice Trip {0} (1) Place a pickpocket trap at target location. The foe who trips this will be knocked down and lose all items. Consumes 4 revenge motes.
3 A Sign from Beyond {0} (1) Place an alarm trap at target location. The foe who trips this will cause a loud noise and bright lights to flash, revealing their location. Consumes 4 revenge motes.
4 Call of Karka {0} (1) Summon an invincible karka at target location. Consumes 10 revenge motes.
5 Mists Merge {0} (1) Dash forward at the speed of light

how about we have this instead?
No. Name [Activation time] (Recharge Time) Description
1 Pull of the Mists {0} (1) Place a trap at target location that instantly teleports you to whoever triggers it. Consumes 1 revenge mote.
2 Nice Trip {0} (1) Place a pickpocket trap at target location. The foe who trips this will be knocked down and lose all items. Consumes 4 revenge motes.
3 A Sign from Beyond {0} (1) Place an alarm trap at target location. The foe who trips this will cause a loud noise and bright lights to flash, revealing their location. Consumes 4 revenge motes.
4 Call of Karka {0} (1) Summon a karka with 2000 health at target location. Consumes 10 revenge motes.
5 Mists Merge {0} (0) Dash forward at the speed of light

changes summary:
skill 1 ground targeted
skill 4 karka with 2000 health, no longer invincible
skill 5 no recharge time

and lets have some new skills too while we’re at it:

No. Name [Activation time] (Recharge Time) Description
6 “Vengeance Is Mine!” {0} (20) Gain 1 revenge mote. Survivors nearby will hear this.
7 Call of Skelk {0} (1) Summon a Reef Skelk with 500 health. Consume 2 revenge motes.

0 Sight Beyond Sight {0} (60) Reveal all survivors location on map for 10 seconds. All survivors’ locations will be revealed to one another. Consume 10 revenge motes.

and remove the 15 revenge motes limit too.

do you want new skills for the southsun survival mist walker?
we may not see them now, but in the future, who knows?

so the next event will be in divinity reach!

5 hours over 10 days means half an hour per day.

seems legit.

^ i read somewhere that you cannot progress cut throat achievements anymore once the event is over.

hmmm thanks!

i’m 3 months late!

just realized there is a commando profession (april fool trailer)

well better late than never haha!

i’ve gotten my 2,500 / 2,500 points just by playing casually.

not sure what is wrong with the ones who kept complaining.

Seeing as 98% of your last 40 posts are regarding Southsun Survival minigame, I can kinda tell you really like Hunger Games… a lot…

well i just watched the hunger games recently and then southsun survival appeared so it is still fresh haha.

i think once this event is over and southsun survival enters the weekly mini games rotation, a new set of achievements under category activities should be made for southsun survival.

that would help boost player participation.

keep the 6/6 rare loot bag reward too.
people who love it will continue to play.

i’ve gotten my 2,500 / 2,500 points just by playing casually.

not sure what is wrong with the ones who kept complaining.

just play a few games per day and it will be over after a few days.

southsun survival would be ok if the whole game room only consist of guild members.

i think people want another game.

maybe a “southsun battle royale” without ghosts.

a bit off topic, they are some away from keyboard players in southsun survival but they give points to other players for the kills so i guess people do not mind their presence inside there.

its a lot of fun!

i hope they add it into the weekly rotations.

Curuglas.1847:

Yes, this design has so many flaws, considering southsun, I rather would have the “crap” toss event than this. As survivor, doing nothing is best strategy, as ghost doing nothing is most likely what you can do, because there just aren’t enough revenge notes…

In my opinion this minigame rates very low – only the bugged dragon ball rates lower. Mad King and Wintersday had some really nice activities; perhaps ANet might restart those again, soon. Mad King should be upon us in a few weeks (just around 10 or 12 weeks).

well, i think that many people enjoy this mini game though.

in my last game, i realized that i could not be the first to die straight away right after the grace period ended.

somehow, i got like 4 rations so i decided to make a run for it, and find some supplies down south by the wurms lair. i ran into a survivor with 4 rations, killed him / her, took the rations and proceed to run further south west where less survivors and ghosts are likely to go there.

i won after the ghosts finished off all other survivors.

my second win actually.
another round and i will have 2,500 points for the achievements.

will continue to play.
this mini game took over my daily sPvP sessions.

will play sPvP for august monthly once cut throat politics event is over and this mini game entered the weekly rotation.

RyuDragnier.9476:

This is an easy way to deal with campers that people need to remember to do to screw them over.

Step 1. Have somebody with at least 10 nodes.
Step 2. Have the other players set down multiple pickpocket and alarm traps around the person camping.
Step 3. Have the person with the 10 nodes summon a karka onto the camper.
Step 4. Watch the camper attempt to run and get ganked by either the karka due to being knocked down by the pickpocket traps, or watch the torment kill them because they don’t have enough time to use a ration.

Works EVERY time.

i stock up revenge motes.

find a secluded camper.
put a pickpocket trip trap in front.
summon karka from behind.
watches survivor fells down, get killed by karka.

or,

find a running survivor, loaded with rations, arrows, etc. a lot of things.
notices that this survivor only eats rations when health is very low.
puts a pickpocket trip trap in front when health is very low.
watches survivor dies as not enough time to pick up ration and consume it.

or maybe even custom crab toss arena, custom dragon ball arena, custom aspect arena etc.

people just want to play together with friends.

maybe they can monetize that.

Esplen.3940:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

it is permanent!

it will be in the weekly rotation along with other mini games!

If Evon wins*.

it will be permanent regardless of who win.
did you talk to kiel or evon?

it is permanent!

it will be in the weekly rotation along with other mini games!

i want more mini games, thanks!

good tips!
its what i use.

in my last game, i have around 4 rations, saw another guy with 4 rations. killed him, took his rations and i hid at the south western part until the ghosts finished off the other survivors.

hmmm kill-able karkas.

no need to wait 15 seconds.

make them kill-able right off the smart.

but require lots of arrows.

its not hard. just takes some time.

if you can get at least 50 points per game. that will be like 50 games.

Polaritie.4851:

If all you care about is high score – just get motes when dead, they’re good for 3 (1+2) points apiece.

but we could get more motes and more points if the campers generate a lot of motes. :p

Missywink.7162:

Maybe it’s just me, but surely if someone has managed to survive to the last 2 standing, then the people who have failed to get that far should not be able to kill those still standing. I don’t mind traps being deployed, I detest the “Call of the Karka” ability.

Why should those who have done well to get that far be punished by those whom have failed.

being killed is not failed.

and this game is about surviving both other survivors and ghosts.
you do not deserve a win if you let ghosts kill you.

hmmm u mean get 1 revenge mote per 10 seconds?
that might be too powerful.

how about,
if survivor does not scavenge supplies or kill other survivors for 10 seconds, a revenge mote will spawn at their location.

better, right?

one person’s meat is another person’s poison.

for each person complaining here in the forum, i say there is at least ten person enjoying the game and not coming to the forum.

Jski.6180:

WvW is the best way to get the +5 stat but no AR on it.

aye, just spend some badges for some +5 (no AR). and +30 over 6 trinkets.

my WvW character and fractal character are different anyway.

ghosts are meant to kill the survivors.

please accept that already.

this game is about surviving against survivors, karka summoned by evon, karka summoned by ghosts.

not sure what you are talking about.
before the patch, i was solo-ing and i got defeated.

the event failed.

i heard that they will not be.

summoning karka is required.
stationary players will not activate traps.

Homonavn.6348:

i love both the survival games and the new aspect arena.. IMO it sucks one of them are going away, just… why? Why waste resources to make them if they are dissapearing anyways?

i think aspect arena will be back.

we are trying to secure a trade agreement with them, yes?

ooo thanks!

4 motes = confirmed kill if they dun have rations right?

torment kills them off nicely.

Tom Gore.4035:

Nerf points for being the last survivor. Problem solved.

points never was the issue for campers.
campers just wanna camp.

one gets more points for being very aggressive.

by the way, 5 minutes for a confirmed wooden chest for losing, and a metal chest for winning.

looks very good to me.
i’m kinda sad they need to remove this when the event is over.

i.e.
Winning Team (metal splendid chest)
1 Bag of Coins (11 Silver coin 57 Copper coin – 12 Silver coin 94 Copper coin)
1 Sip of Liquid Karma (1,000 Karma.png)
Random piece of equipment.
Chance to receive: Zephyr Rucksack Skin

Losing Team (wooden chest)
1 Bag of Coins (9 Silver coin – 11 Silver coin)
1 Thimble of Liquid Karma (700 Karma.png)
Random piece of equipment.
Chance to receive: Zephyr Rucksack Skin

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aspect_Arena#Rewards

aye, true.

but it would be nice if they made it more obvious. :p

is there a limit on how many death motes we can keep?

i recall having 15 death motes.

is that the max?

Esplen.3940:

@Deimos, that is the current implementation, not a suggested implementation.

yes, but the current system dun have brackets i.e. (tier 4) behind the options!

danc.2476:

I know right! Never saw anybody over 100 so I was just curious.

well, someone shared a screen shot of 109 points.
he was the last man standing though.

but i think you are the first (that i see) with 135 points, and not last man standing!
congrats!

Esplen.3940:

Top option is highest tier you’ve unlocked.
Lowest option is tier 1.

Middle options are tier 2/3 if you’re at tier 3/4.

ya this one.
i think it would be nice if the tiers are shown.
’let’s do that again’, (tier 4)
take this down a notch’ (tier 3)
take this down a few notches’. (tier 2)
????? (tier 1)

you need to do them in order.

either kiel or evon.

do tier 1 then tier 2
u’ll get 2/2 for direct support

then do tier 3 then tier 4
u’ll get 2/2 for advanced support

are they shiny?

if they are not shiny.
then maybe i will try to get one.

for example, the zenith weapons are too shiny.
i think shiny weapons gives me some lag.
will try to avoid shiny things.

we still have time.

plan ahead and finish them!
