If I occasionally find myself in over my head I train mobs onto other players, and then play my part in killing them. I’m not sure if its bad etiquette but its my first instinct

Halloween Events and Quests Ridiculous!!!!!

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Dra Keln.2015

Dra Keln.2015

Another summary of the counter arguments: the game has been out for two months, the majority of the player base is fairly high leveled. There is plenty of content that people of any level can do, including MKL, MKCT, LI, RR, AM, and doors. Things that require a specific level OR HELP FROM A GENERALLY WILLING PLAYERBASE: Book. A handful of people are complaining about not being able to do stuff period, most are complaining about not being able to do it on their alts. The former is a reality of having not put much time into the game as of yet. The latter is entitlement. The reason components drop is the same reason there are dungeon tokens, so you are able to makes progress towards your goal no matter what. The reason players are scaled up rather than down is because look at what happens when 80s go to starter zones. And in regards to GW1. Style of event is a matter of preference, however content being soft gated by level is infinitely better than content being hard gated by campaign progression, especially when there are multiple campaigns and many players don’t do all of them on every character.

Diminished return is ruining my loot off madking

Dra Keln.2015

This is the same idea as the inevitable thread that comes after every update: “Mystic Forge nerf?!?!?!?!” RNG is RNG. Enough people play the game that SOMEONE will get lucky or unlucky, assume everyone is experiencing the same, and post a complaint. Now I’m not saying they shouldn’t. We do need to confirm after all that it is an isolated incident. However phrasing it as an attack on the game and refusing to believe other people’s accounts is unreasonable. It happens way too often. (If you don’t believe me look through the forums for mystic forge nerf and check the dates of the original posts)

Halloween Events and Quests Ridiculous!!!!!

in Halloween Event

Posted by: Dra Keln.2015

Dra Keln.2015

To all complaining about the friendliness of GW1 to low levels versus this. I’d say this is way more so. Half of the quest content in GW1 was in nightfall in areas like vabbi and the desolation. Totally unreachable for lowbies. Another major potion was clearing the UW. Impossible if you weren’t a rather skilled player who had the gstones to prove it. Remember that guys? Gstones barring content? Yeah GW1 was perfectly friendly to casual players.

When requesting that the Anet staff use a timezone other than Pacific please remember:
They have families. And Beds. And friends. I’m not saying their job isn’t important, but they aren’t firemen who spend 3 day shifts in the office. They push updates live at a time that they can. The end of their workday makes a lot of sense for several reasons.
1. They can spend all day working on it to make sure its absolutely 100% polished to their standards.
2. They can go home and play it
Those are the big ones I can think of off the top of my head. Remember, its their game too, they aren’t intentionally screwing over anyone

I they kill festival bugs faster its only because they don’t have to make sure it’s not causing any long term damage. If it does they simply revert the changes after festival. Profession bugs have root issues that can cause major problems if fixed poorly

Expansion Predictions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dra Keln.2015

Dra Keln.2015

Anet stated that they will be doing expansions very different than gw1. While it was good, it was unsustainable and took way too much time. There will be level cap increases. There will not be new tutorial content. The effort required to create new tutorial contet wastes too much of the development cycle. Raising the level cap allows easier balancing of new content for higher difficulty

Forced PvP

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Dra Keln.2015

Dra Keln.2015

I agree with the idea that world completion should be removed from wvw. I disagree with almost all of the reasons why it should be removed. 100% means 100%. It’s an achievement, last I checked you can’t get the slayer achievement in PvE either. 100% a WvW map is not actually hard btw. HOWEVER. By making it count for 100% it brings people into WvW for the purpose of exploring, not WvWing. I have frequently found myself running to our next target, glancing at my map and saying “oooh we own _. Don’t know when that will happen again, best grab it now.” And my brother has gone to WvW exclusively for world completion. Both of those take up valuable slots for true WvWers

They’re only cosmetic rewards anyways, so you’re not missing out on too much.

The weapon skins do add condition damage, fire, ice etc…

To my knowledge there’s no actual types of damage in this game and those [fire] tags etc are there simply for the memories.

This build is great for soloing and team play, the trick is to rethink the use of dodge. By dodging into combat, specifically, your combo fields you essentially get an extra skill, bringing down foes faster, using your own combos (something staff eles struggle with) and even healing yourself. The utilities provide excellent single target damage and are great for boss control

Trahearne: I personally find him to be probably worst character. :SPOILERS:

in Personal Story

Posted by: Dra Keln.2015

Dra Keln.2015

Didn’t actually read anything here in order to avoid spoilers, but I do want to say that while I initially was hesitant in my acceptance of Trahearne, he did something in the level 55 quest that changed that and made him my absolute favorite character.

He rezzed me.

After watching every other character who I loved, from Zojja to Sparkles to Tybalt stand over my dead body and stare, Trahearne said “no guys, this is what we do.” At that moment I knew that Trahearne would forever more be my favorite character. Anyway that’s my piece. Have fun!
