Anet’s accountants are happy.

at first yes, but will we spend as much on future dye packs knowing the risks? i think not……good point tho il add this to the first post

LOL this is the third time they’ve sold the F&F dyes. People buy enough of them that half a dozen complaints aren’t going to change anything. Have you ever heard the phrase “laughing all the way to the bank?” That’s what I think of when I see these complaints about RNG. That, and PT Barnum’s comment about birth rates…

The well is not going to run dry any time soon.

it will and it already very clearly is, gem prices didnt rise as much this time as last time,

last time we thought they were gone forever

and will future dye packs be as successful? the metalic one isnt doing so hot…..

Anet’s accountants are happy.

at first yes, but will we spend as much on future dye packs knowing the risks? i think not……good point tho il add this to the first post

if they just put them in the same place as the zenith skins and shining skins from acheivments id be so happy and i would spend LOTS of gems on them….but as it stands now i will never buy one

as someone who invests heavily in these dyes expecting them to stay rare, im obviously mad that this was done, this needs no explanation and im sure none of you are suprised

but “so what” im just some rich jerk what do you all care what happens in my bank? well heres why it matters to you even if you DONT invest in them

1: if u want a specific dye, good luck, the odds r insignificant and you will spend WAY MORE opening dye kits than you would just buying it off the TP, so this doesnt help u at all u cuda saved money and just bought it from the TP

2: if u were hoping to invest in the dyes urself and turn a quick buck in a year or so NOPE, that option is gone now too, we thought these dyes were never coming out again so we invested in them, now we know they will wip them out whenever they feel like it (lazy a net,…..lazy) so they will never again rise to monolithic prices making your investment chances….slim to none

3, for all the people who bought one of these dyes off the TP in the past year or so…..congratz u waisted an epic amount of cash and now your UNIQUE DYE your gw2 equivalent of the blue partyhat….is available to every1 for a fraction of what you payed for it…..are u mad? u should be….

4. anet isnt happy, oh sure they will be at first they re sold a popular item….but will we be so eager to invest in future dye packs? no they can expect diminshed profits in the future because they made this mistake

well you are right they are a HUGE waist of money, and the worst part is they will never again rise to the prices they were previously so u cant invest in them, do this ONLY if you want the dye for urself and feel increadibly lucky

the idea of charging us to swap servers for a game like this, with so much dynamic content, is a horrible and greedy idea to begin with, runescape did it right (suprisingly) we should be able tos wap on the fly with a cooldown between for however long we want and that would be our permanent server, maybe this would make all the other servers feel less dead and encourage ppl toa ctually play normal content…..

how about u just speak english

sorry no support, dont play crab toss alot and im not that good at it (im not bad either) but it hink this is intended as part of any pvp game

the game worlds are so empty we solo enough as is dont u think….

that may help ME specifically but not the player base as a whole

i covered that in my post…..i dont know the busy servers and it does not tell me

everywhere i go is empty, its boring and makes me wanna quit

events sit there for days, some of them never get done they are too hard for one person to do and they are inconvenient for map completers

the only populated places are the stupid “champ zerg trains” that d the same champions over and over again which is bad for the game and the economy.

solutions:
shut down half your servers

make events complete themsleves after a while, this makes sense anyways eventually that escor tmission that has been there for 12 hours should either get rescued or die

make it so world maps dont have a low point by that i mean a way that events always end up, maybe the seraph CAN conquer the harathi highlands without our help every now and then….make the world dynamic on its OWN cuz otherwise the same events get stuck at the same points forever

delete unwanted dead content….seriously tequal is still there….thats sad

make world guesting more intuitive: i just tried to guest on the most populated server….only problem is i cant tell which server is most populated bcuz when i click the population button at the top (which i assume would sort by populaton" it doesnt tell me if the most popular is at the top or bottom…..if u click it again it doesnt reverse the list like you would iexpect it randomizes it, so now things r in a ridiculous order, and make it easier to know what server i am in while i am in game

make players and events visible on the map from farther away, currently only dead players show up on the map, thats useless i wana see live players

most of the problems people are complaining about here could be fixed with a slightly more beefy character, maybe an extra heart? or extra life? just for entering world 2? that way we can still have that steep learning curve the mods want but also be punished less for doing what is expected, and fail

you know you could do it with a friend and speed it up

i just find it rather insulting when the first line on some items like the halloween mini 3 pack is something like LIMITED EDITION THIS HALLOWEEN ONLY,…..and now OH LOOK they are back again…..

what i would really like is to just choc this up to first year celebrating and hope it never happens again

whats the word on items from events and limited sales in the black lion co, im talking about things like the flame and frost exclusive dyes and the unlimited mining picks and such, or the unique holiday skins ect ect.

are these event items ever going to be re used again (as they were for the end of the eyar sale) or is this it and they are never coming back?

i wish anet would be clear on this

i aggree 100% with all your changes but sadly anet coudnt balance content to save their lives they are pathetically awful at it. and they never fix living world content probaly because “who cares itl be gone in a week so y should we fix what we made”

as for me i give up on the gauntlet its a total waist of my time and money….gj anet…..

it has nothing to do with the minigames at all aspect arena is hated by all players evenly southsun is very fun but very unbalanced so based on minigames evons hould be ahead

its true new players dont know enough about abbadon

i aggree limit rations to 5 max

i dont understand y so many nerds make this about that kinda stuff

abbadon or reactor? thats it

Onshidesigns.1069:

Duke Nukem.6783:

you dont know anything at all about the abbadon story , i think asura are beyond boring and stupid anyway

Reactor is not that much about the Asura at all! It’s about the kitten that happened from their failed experiment. Asura is just the catalyst for something much more interesting.

As for not knowing anything about abbadon. Abbadon is not affecting the present world in game.

abbadon isnt affecting the world in game? great all the more reason his content is “new” and the asura one isnt thanks for that

i think people who make this vote about more than it really is are so stupid

do you want abbadon or some reactor? nothing else matters just pick one and vote dont go into some ridiculous blah blah rant about the “character” of the stupid ficitonal people its ridiculous

i think people who make this vote about more than it is are really stupid

do you want abbadon fractal? or the reactor? pick one, dont make any form of discussion about anything else, answer the question and vote accordingly

how pretentious that the reactor is described as “new” and “interesting”

i dont think any stupid asura experiment is interesting at all

and whats more ridiculous is that the reactor has been introduced more recently than abbadon , we have seen updates for it recently, abbadon is what hasnt been touched in a while so its “newer” to many people and they will learn to love him

you dont know anything at all about the abbadon story , i think asura are beyond boring and stupid anyway

these suggestions are well intended but ultimatley they are nothing more than the fancy of an amateur who does not understand the nature of a survival based game and thinks humans should still be the top of the food chain in any circomstance

the karka skill is not OP for 3 reasons if you have any skill at all you will escape it, it is expensive and late in the game it will almost certainly be impossible to use unless uv been hoarding motes which is to your detriment, any good player who sees a karka spawn under them says “oh phew some idiot used karka isntead of the GOOD skills”

as someone whos record is winning (last man standing 15 times in a row) and over 80 splendid chests on one of my characters i can tell you only a few of your balancing are in the right direction

the map absolutly needs to be smaller, too many players are winning by ration hoarding and camping in secret karka proof places that ghosts cant hurt you in even with karka and traps

decrease max rations to 5 or so, this will stop ration hoarding and camping making the game more interesting and more fair to more diverse strategies

reduce the damage on the “call from beyond” skill this skill is forcing people into the camp and dont move ration hoarding strategy because it is absolute certain death and loss to be harassed with it.

these are the only changes that can reasonably be supported by a well informed southsun survival player

Gesamtkunstwerk.6590:

Some of you simply don’t understand the nature of this mini-game, nor good strategy for that matter. How do you think someone manages to get a stockpile of rations and hide? It’s because those players are out harvesting the many passiflora on the map. It’s your fault as a player for letting them obtain so many rations.

The right strategy would’ve been to cut these players off before they got a chance to fatten themselves up. This is actually telegraphed within the first 30 seconds of the mini-game. Figure out which players are going after rations, then stalk them from a distance. This way you’ll at least have the opportunity to land a well placed tactical strike before they can run away to camp in an obscure location.

Clearly, it takes time to gather 6-10 rations. It also places the player at risk of attack since they’ll need to forgo effective fighting weapons for a larger supply of passiflora. Within that time frame they are extremely vulnerable, and so it’s up to you as a player to become aware of their intentions and actively interfere with them. Of course, some other third party could then do the same to you. And the cycle continues until one of you is left standing.

Meanwhile, you need to avoid mist walkers looking for revenge. If you’ve been turned into one then you should realize that you have many tools at your disposal to take down camping players. Obviously, call target on them if you catch site of them. This will alert all other downed players to their location. You can also use alarm traps for this purpose. Even the person hiding at the top of the jumping puzzle can be taken down with the right planning and just a little cooperation from other players. . .

All of this adds up to a highly complex, unpredictable, and thrilling little mini-game where there is no guaranteed winner. It’s a stunning success by any reasonable person’s standards. A 10/10. So, please, stop trying to improve it with your terrible suggestions.

Truth is, some of you just haven’t had the adrenaline rush that comes from a good win. You haven’t played against all the odds and come out on top. You’re bitter and you came to these forums to vent; where, unsurprisingly, you come to find other sore losers still raging from their last defeat and ready to sympathize with you. “No, it wasn’t us!” “It was that evil game!” “kitten you Anet!” Seriously, just get over it. The game is meant to be hard. But it’s also incredibly rewarding if you stick with it… Play some more… learn why some of us are having the time of our GW2 lives playing this and stop WHINING!

what you say is true (except for the troll nonsense about whining and the high horsed stuff about every1 on here being wrong)

but your fatal flaw that invalidates your entire post is this, a good game has not just one strategy to win i shoudlnt HAVE to go after those ration gatherers (although as iv said many times over i am the one gathering them , i have over 80 splendid chests im no noob at this game). i should have many ways and options to win, and you only want your way in the game

Psychol.5783:

hiding is one thing, hiding and not being able to be attacked and the near invincibility that comes with hiding in this game is far different. hiding = immortality in this game and that is not survival.

You can get killed by other players but not by overpowered mists.

oh how ridiculous like other players are going to be able to move around with the same overpowered ghosts after them also? use ur head b4 u post

Fellow Evon supporters I know Kiel is ahead but while she has the numbers we have the determination, Join me this Sunday and lets buy, farm and steal every ticket we can and show once and for all that this do-gooder Kiel has no chance.

This aggression will not stand.

This message brought to you by Citizens of Tyira For a Better Tommorrow, Tommorrow.

Isn’t it ‘Tyria’, not ‘Tyira’?

I know I know, im just being a pest. thats what raccoons do.

As for votes… well i’m anti RNG so….

seriously what does random numer generation have to do with evon at all and y do pplc omplain about it in the first place

how could she possibly be ahead abbadon will feast on her eyes….

abbadon is the gw2 lore abbadon is everything abbadon is all that matters

abbadon is, and always must be

Abbadon also created magic. Without magic, there’s be no Eles, Mesmers, or Guardians. So that means Guild Wars 2 would be nothing but Thieves running around in stealth. So that means the following:

A vote for Kiel is a vote for Thieve’s Stealth!!!

Unless I’m mistaken, Abbadon did NOT create magic, he simply gifted it.

which has the exact same outcome on all of the world….

no good grammar makes trolls like you stop nagging….you probaly are too young to ever take anything seriously…l33t is the culture of the internet, embrace it or shaaaaadup =p

if its hard for you to tell im being analaytical because of grammar than you have a learning disability foreign to my vast knowledge of childhood and adolescant mental disorders, humans read by looking at the start and end of the word and the “shape” of the word as a whole, they do not read each individual letter

a stupid machine being as awsome as giant purple glowing gorillas tentacles that are more like claws, glowing gargoyle demon enemies and floating green rocks in a vast abyss of darkness whose emptyness is only matched by the black pit it leaves in your heart to know that this cruel and somehow sentient void goes on forever and thakittens single thought is the torment of all living things for the duration of time and space?

i think not my nieve kiel supporter, ABBADON WILL FEAST ON YOUR EYES

pay attention to the buff timer?

Evon Gnashblade was born with horns and fur.

Ellen Kiel was born with swagger.

Blatant speciesism. People who support this type of thought (Kiel) has no place in Lion’s Arch.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all species are created equal.”

as a racist you have compelled me to vote for kiel……as an avid occultist im still voting for abbadon, lets keep the lofty idealisms out of the vote and think about the ONE thing that matters…….which fractal you want

OP sounds like the type of fool who wonders why the world is filled with so much hate poverty and killing……because we like it that way now shut up grab a machete and help me pillage and burn the nearest village or die

abbadon is the gw2 lore abbadon is everything abbadon is all that matters

abbadon is, and always must be

any1 who is concerend with their appearance needs to die

abbadon is all that matters

many of us want to see abbadon again its got nothing to do with them being uninspired they ARE inspired by our love of abbadon as one of , no THE best content from gw1 abbadon stole (and probaly ate) the hearts of millions with his purple glowing lightning weapons giant purple gorilla monsters and tentacles of doom.

Headless.3718:

All they have to do is to make the map smaller the longer the match takes. then the ghosts are not needed to pull the campers out of their corners.

im absolutly in favor of a smaller map but as soon as you do that the true overpowered nature of the ghosts will become even more evident. it should be done in combination with changes to the ghost skills, buffing some and nerfing others

a person’s perception of who is going to win is based on 2 things: 1 is who you support and 2 is are you an optimist or a pessamist?

i am an optimist and an evon supporter so i see more evon support in game

i assume you are an evon supporter and a pessamist so you see more kiel supporters

always remember perception and expectation make up 95% of what we humans call reality

Please avoid unintelligent comments like this in the future

I was making an unintelligent comment to combat an unintelligent combat. Also, I fixed your post somewhat. You’re welcome.

my comments are clear concise and fueled by an analytical and reasonable veiw of the game that is not centered around my own victory but the fairness for all and diversity of tactical choice that is essential in keeping a game fresh and fun.

also dont correct grammar on the internet u tool =p speed> accuracy

RyuDragnier.9476:

Neither is a call for a nerf everytime you can’t win something, bucko. Which btw, I happen to see a lot out of the sPvP forums…so you should get why I said you should go play in the Heart of the Mists.

iv got over 80 splendid chests from this game and i still think the ghosts need a nerf and hiding needs a nerf…..i will say again plz avoid unintelligent comments strive to be a smarter person even if you are not very smart

tom.7468:

Arenanet i am very pleased with this minigame thank you! Now i hope you dont change anything except maybe where the ghosts spawn after you kill them? it could be a little more random but otherwise its perfect. And to those of you who complain about hiding, guess what that is the point to survive.

hiding is one thing, hiding and not being able to be attacked and the near invincibility that comes with hiding in this game is far different. hiding = immortality in this game and that is not survival

RyuDragnier.9476:

Duke Nukem.6783:

Psychol.5783:

That’s why I’m not killing anyone and hide from peoples because people with mist forms are very anoying.

nerf them, and nerf the tactic of hiding, then this game will be near perfect

Then it’s just normal PvP. If you want PvP, go play PvP in Heart of the Mists.

that is so wrong i could list 100s of reasons why that was a stupid thing to say , but in the interest of time il just name a few

you dont respawn in survival
the fights are far different no rolling and heaing for 3 minutes before someone finaly dies
the map is larger and the hunger mechanic forces you to seek out survival techniques
the ghosts (i do like them i just think they need some serious changes)

plz avoid uninteligent comments like this in the future

all of you argue over pointless nonsense, abbadon is all that matters and he will rise again through evon HEIL ABBADON

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

yes, we ghosts need a bit more arsenal!

skill slots 6 7 8 9 0 are empty …

lets change that heheh.

perhaps, in the future, ghosts will have more utilities …

i aggree ghosts should have a mark to hit stationary people, but first the skills we have need a nerf

Psychol.5783:

RyuDragnier.9476:

Then buff the ghosts so the alarm trap can be activated by somebody sitting on it. Problem solved.

good idea but the person sitting far away from everyone is still too far and too hidden i recomend strinking the map and THEN overhauling the ghost’s skills

call of karka should not be changed but the damage on call from beyoind is way too high so you cant just buff it its already OP
