League schedule needed to be 8 weeks

League schedule needed to be 8 weeks

Draygo.9473

I disagree with the 8 weeks things.

To me it should have been 4 weeks of set matches, so everyone plays everyone evenly, then you matchup the top 3, next top 3, and next top 3 until a winner is determined (keep in mind that this isn’t promotion/regulation, but matchups based on total server points).

Collaborative Development Topic- Game Modes

Draygo.9473

This is how i feel….2v2 tournaments have been increasingly popular as of lately. It is a simple mode and would be easy to implement…but for some reason jsharp loves mobas and dreams for gw2 to be like one. News flash…we play this game for the COMBAT AND FIGHTING. that is the fun part in this game…not objectives.

Well, there were many posts asking for moba-type mechanics, so maybe it is a community-driven idea? News Flash-there is combat and fighting in moba.

I would expect a 2vs2/3vs3 etc deathmatch-type mode to be in a game like this as a matter of course, but its hardly inspiring or groundbreaking stuff.

I just feel like if people wanted a moba they would play LoL or dota 2…putting pve type objectives in a game where people want to fight (gw2) is not going to be popular in this game. They thought conquest was going to be their one way ticket to esports and were very wrong….I just don’t want them to make the same mistake with a new and possibly equally boring game mode.

Why? It worked in gw1.

Do Arenanet make markets?

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Draygo.9473

Draygo.9473

Arenanet employees are players in the game and they can buy and sell items. But arenanet as a company is not removing or adding orders. Any attempt at market manipulation that arenanet has done has been pretty transparent. (Like putting in a merchant to turn 250 of an item to an event item).

Why manipulate that?

There are many things wrong with this post….

If the average player does “sell now” on the TP then he’s an idiot. There’s really nothing that can be done for him beyond education. We aren’t talking about fixing that guy because there isn’t much that can be done there.

There’s absolutely no reason to “sell now” except that you need that cash immediately, and no player leaving for the night does. You don’t need to research anything to get a better deal, you just need to check the highest buy orders, and place your sell order vaguely in that range. It’s super easy and will ALWAYS make you more money than “sell now.” If he does that before logging off, chances are the item will sell before he logs back on, and he’ll have a good amount more waiting for him.

There are absolute reasons to sell now, I will put down a couple:

The item is VERY slow moving, and has little activity over time ex (Permanent Hair Stylist Contract)
Any time you put up a sell order there is a small amount of risk that the price will drop, this risk is proportionate to the total activity of the item, its ease of supply, and the strength of the demand plus other factors.
-There have been several times where I did what you just said here and that item took weeks or months to sell, or I was forced to relist because the market settled at a lower amount EVEN ON FAST MOVING ITEMS.

I’m not using insults, I’m using the textbook definition of words accurately. If the term “parasite” applies to your own behavior, and this bothers you, then your problem isn’t with me, and you should try correcting those behaviors.

You are calling people “idiots”.

Statements like this make it seem that you don’t understand how the market works. If they find that they typically have to reslist, and this bothers them, then could still undercut the best sell offers by a considerable amount, and STILL come out ahead on the buy price. Just looking at a recent commodity, Pristine Spores, the lowest list price is currently 2.2s, the highest order is 1.8. Now these might fluctuate wildly during the day, but if our seller were to put his up at anything over 2.0, that certainly wouldn’t be the best deal he could get, but it WOULD sell, and he WOULD be making a profit over just accepting the best buy order.

There is no guarantee of sale if you put up a sell order. I defy you to prove this. I have evidence to the contrary.

Again, maybe a player is unaware of this, but that doesn’t make it right to victimize him.

How exactly does this victimize someone who AGREES to sell an item at a particular pricepoint. The “victim” is assuming no risk, the trader is buying the risk.

Likewise, the opposite is true, a player might want some pristine spores, but so long as he doesn’t need them right this second, he could place a buy order at 2.0, be guaranteed to have it filled in short order, and save a considerable amount on the deal. And again, not knowing this does not mean that they deserve to be victimized by market predators.

Buy orders are a little bit different because of the fact that there are no fees associated with buy orders. So I can list and relist by buy orders over and over until I get all the mats I need. Now there are times that people buy in bulk because they need something now instead of later. You do note this. I would also note that TP traders tend to push buy orders up, if the traders wernt in the market we would see much larger price gaps between buy and sell.

Most commodities are available in the hundreds of thousands on the market, this would be the same with or without middlemen. Again though, if volatility is the concern, there are better ways to solve it than with parasitic infection. Better players feedback as to what the reasonable price is would do the job considerably better for the average player.

Right click sell item, gives you pretty kitten good feedback. Most people are aware of this.

Anyway, trading on the trading post is buying and selling risk. The more risky an item is the larger the overall gap between sell order and buy order will exist. This isn’t predation, the seller is fully aware in gw2 what the sell now price is, they are fully aware what the current lowest sell order price is. All sell orders involve risk.

Killing players, killing walls or gates does not count for event credit while attacking, afaik. And I don’t think killing the normal npcs there counts.

BZZZT wrong.

Killing 3 people in the event area while the keep is owned by an enemy counts for gold credit to the dynamic event.

Killing 3 guards will get you gold credit at a keep, its something I do quite often while roaming or havocing is to kill off 3 guards at an enemy keep then go back to harassing dolyaks/supplydepots/sentries. That way I get full credit if my server takes the keep later (even if its MUCH later).

Walls and doors count too.

Keep in mind you must be in the event area for this to count so if you kite the guards out of the event area then kill them you will not get credit.

The reason most people think walls don’t give credit is because they are killing the wall while their character is outside the event area, so it doesn’t count for credit for that event.

Hopefully ANet figures out whatever is causing the communications issues.

You are correct.

any 500 (errors starting with 5) level error is a problem with the server, 400 (errors starting with 4) level errors are a problem with the client: Example 404 – page not found.

So far, the thread is about how people keep using the cheap “mesmer-on-gate” tactics and about how people want SF out of the thread (I don’t even know the reason, none have said nothing wrong, just that they are rooting for ET).

In other words… This gonna be a boring thread, if that’s all we can muster from the reset night.

SF posters got the last matchup thread locked. Mods finally got sick of deleting posts. Considering it was the worst matchup thread I’ve seen in the last 3 months, it probably was a good thing.

My general feeling for reset weekend is that GoM is going to get a point lead on Kaineng the true test on where the matchup will go will be sunday late night and Monday.

I spent reset bashing my head (and dying repeatedly) against larger numbers on foreign BL’s, our one capture of hills on GoM BL was stifled by an immediate counter attack with us unable to get any supply for defensive siege because ET just capped the SE camp. Overall though there was several epic moments on reset and was quite fun overall even if we didn’t make much headway.
