We’ll see how long it takes for them to follow through on the claim they actually listen to the players, and get this stuff in-game.
My bet is Jan. 2014… and no, that’s not a typo. 2014.
Well as far as i’m aware they’ve been saying they’re working on a preview for TP pretty much since launch, must be pretty hard to do or they just are not actually working on it. I don’t expect to see it any time soon though as preview seems to be getting worse and worse, not only can you now not preview any other races armor, you can only preview items that you are able to equip. So if i get a leather chest item and want to see what it looks like to see if i want to keep it for my ranger i have to link it in chat, relog to my ranger, preview the item to log back on my warrior to then sell or save that item.
Also, actual trading so we don’t have to use the trading post all the time.
I won’t but when others see this your gonna get burned. Loads of players here say it’s a bad idea due to Scamming and Spamming.
If they did it like they had it in GW1 i don’t really see how someone can get scammed where both players have to click accept on the trade box and if any of the items/money changes it unclicks the box so they can’t quickly change the item at the last second. However, you’re right the worst part about this is the spam, yet without a LFG feature in the game all you get in map chat is fotm spam anyway, so if they cared so much about spam they’d think about changing the current spam. They can also do what they did in GW1 and any message with WTS/WTB at the start instantly goes to the trade channel which could be turned off easily.
Also @ bluejay it’s different because it’s stupidly easy to scam over mail “You send me the gold and i’ll send you the item” You send gold but never receive the item As for a person to person trade or a COD on the mail system you get the item that you’ve just brought. It wouldn’t be so bad if Anet returned any scammed items to you, but as they don’t TP is really the only way to trade in the game which sucks abit as you loose a 15% cut
I think Norn look abit over the top, so in my opinion i prefer human, less it’s female and then they look better (apart from female human has much nicer hair styles then the norn)
Good connection to the fans? It’s 5 days untill wintersdays is launched and still we have basically no information on it at all, I’d say that’s a very poor connection and a very unprofessional relationship to have with it’s community. Half of the time when updates come out (especially hotfixes that happen without having to patch the game) we never see the patch notes or we only get half of them, even then they are days late releasing the information. They say “We’re working on this at the moment but have no ETA” months later they say the same thing and again and again. I agree the game is beautiful in some aspects (FoTM is killing PVE), but the game does have it’s problems and bugs, i just wished they’d put more time into fixing some of the bigger bugs then worrying about getting monthly updates out
I agree the number of runs should be increased, but it should be over all dungeons not just FoTM. Atm the only thing to do in PVE anymore is farm FoTM and anet are not giving us any reason not to. They make us grind it like hell, then make you do it for the monthly. Other dungeons are basically dead since FoTM.
However, as far as removing doing dungeons completely i don’t agree with. I’m a PVE player and don’t like PvP much, but i have to do WvW each month to get my 50 kills which can take alot longer to do then run afew dungeons if you’re servers taking a beating.
FoTM is one of the best places to get money, i brought all the T3 the day FoTM was released and had about 2g. I got upto lvl 7 (i think) on FoTM and left with about 13gish after selling everything. Like i said i have not been on since so not sure if it’s changed.
Once you are in the teens the monetary gain is even larger. It keeps on going up.
If I spent weeks training in WvW, the rewards I get from killing an enemy at the end of those weeks is the same as when i started. I might kill a few more enemies, but overall my rewards won’t change drastically. Fractals keep on scaling up. it is completely ridiculous.
It does seem that all Anet care about anymore is FoTM. They said they was suppose to release ascended gear with different ways to obtain it, but atm only FoTM can get you ascended rings, so if it wasn’t finished yet surely they shouldn’t have released them yet, It’s the best and prob only way to farm gold, and it’s the only thing any PVE’r does anymore becasue it’s such a grind to get the ascended items.
Yeah i agree, I didnt get to complete phase1, i did the starting attack but thats all i had time for, phase 2 was luckily short and just had enough time to do phase 3 (No idea it would take over 2 hours). Not only are these 1 time events only bad because so many people miss out on them because they’re busy, but they are extremely laggy (during phase 1 i died several times by invisable mobs, TP went down and the lag was terrible. I much prefer how they did it for halloween, it’s more fun, more rewarding and ALOT less laggy.
FoTM is one of the best places to get money, i brought all the T3 the day FoTM was released and had about 2g. I got upto lvl 7 (i think) on FoTM and left with about 13gish after selling everything. Like i said i have not been on since so not sure if it’s changed.
Only time will tell, halloween had terrible rewards, but for some reason Anet thought they’d give out 2 exotics and 2 rares to every player who did the third karka event (even dropping precursors for a large number of plays (I myself managed to get dawn)). This isn’t including the 20slot bag and the ring either, but tbf i think it’s fair to give us such big rewards after such a terribly laggy phase 1 and 2 and such a boring 2hour + kill karka kill karka kill karka final event. Seriously though, I hope they learn from the karka event and don’t give out such rare rewards from simple easy to do events (half of the karka event i was afk as killing about 1 million karka over the weekend got very boring very fast)
I agree that as time goes on the game slowly drifts more and more away from what i expected and wanted. I stopped playing after the karka event, been waiting for news on wintersday to reinterest me, but it seems anet can’t even give out information about it 5 days before it goes live.
Just like I don’t own a tv, because if I spent money on the best tv in a year it would be obsolete.
Same with computers. I don’t own one because if I spend money on it something better will come out.
Or a car. Why spend money on a new car when next year there will be a better one?
Or cell phones. I bought an iphone 4 and then a few months later the 4s came out making mine obsolete…
brilliant observation, friend.
I really don’t get how people can justify using real life examples and compare to a video game lol … I’ll never take that seriously.
Lettuce be cereal, OP has a point. Eventually a full set of ascended gear will exist, making exotics inferior stat-wise and that will affect the balance of the game.
Yeah.. Full ascended gear will be out in a years time. Now tell me, in a years times how many new games will come out that require you to upgrade your computer? Or In a years time how many new phones will be released with new features your’s doesn’t have? It’s the SAME! You buy armor in a game because it is the best and will make dungeons ect easier (but not 100% needed). You upgrade your computer becasue new and more powerful games come out (a upgrade is not needed, but it makes the game run smoother and look nicer) You’re playing a MMO, i’m not being funny but somewhere down the line new gear will come out regardless if it’s new looks or new stats, don’t turn around and moan because you brought your old armor. Football teams have a new football kit each season right? So do fans sit there saying “No i wont go and buy this seasons kit because next season, they will have a new one”At the end of the day if you couldn’t wait afew days to get full exotics without spending anything (crafing, TP, Karma, Dungeons – it’s really not hard and takes less then a week for a very casual player) and brought your gear with real money, then accept that one day that armor will be useless and it will be a waste of money.
This information could be incorrect at parts as i’m not 100% sure how aggro works, but as far as i can remember from what i’ve read in the past there are different mobs that generate “threat” in different ways. Some prefer to attack the player with the highest armor, some attack the lowest. Some prefer to attack melee some prefer to attack range. I think whoever first aggros the mob/hits first also plays a part on who keeps aggro on that mob. Like i said though i’m not 100% sure
No. That’s how it use to work, but seeing as a drakehound can solo a lvl 80 mob easily you start to see how OP it is. I was farming orr with that rune on and got upto 12 drake hounds at one point, no mob even stood a chance and was killed within afew seconds by my drakehounds (half the time i didn’t even get a chance to attack). I was even able to solo a champion using them.
I don’t see why people are moaning about gold? I have never spent hours farming on this game, i’ve farmed dungeons before, but mainly for the tokens the gold is just a bonus. I also would like to point out i don’t play the TP nor do i play stupidly amount of hours a day, most days i get maybe 4-5 hours? Some days as little as 2 hours. Yet i’ve got T3 on my character and still had 30g left over after buying it. I’ve never had problems with low money, lvling up i always had over 1g, i’ve never had to think “dam i don’t have enough money to pay my repair bills” and i mostly do dungeons as i prefer that side of the game.
The way i see it, gold isn’t important in this game imo. I’ve got my T3, i’ve got the weapons that i want so the only thing i need my gold for now is repairs and waypoints, but i don’t use waypoints unless I have to. So unless you want one of these over priced weapons or a legendary (lucky i think the legendary weapons in GW2 are some of the worst skins in the game so i don’t need to worry about those) i don’t see why money is such a issue.
Also people saying you don’t get good money from FoTM i did from lvl 1-6 and got about 7-8g from it. Mostly from lodestones and rares. But i only did FoTM the day after it came out and have not been on GW2 since as i’ve been busy doing other stuff, so maybe lodestones have taken a huge drop in price
Res shrines are disabled in the FotM until your party has wiped, in which case you restart from a checkpoint. Just like in personal story instances.
Really?
That’s cool. 1 person dies in a place rest of the party cannot reach; Too Bad. You get no chance at joining your party until they wipe on purpose.
Terrible implementation
Hey i’ve got an idea be more careful in the future. WP zerging was stupid and completely destroyed EVERY dungeon before FoTM. Finally Anet have deciede to add a real dungeon, but ofcourse people QQ because as always they wanted everything handed to them! “I died in a dungeon and now i can’t just respawn instantly, what a terrible idea”.. Makes people actually think about what they’re doing, it makes team mates have a reason to actually get people up from downed state instead of “oh just die and respawn it’s faster” You tell me one MMO that has dungeons where it’s impossible to wipe or “lose”
very moment i even went out after this first run, i could see “LFM FotM level 2 only, Exotics only” already. After a couple of days, no one will even do first 20 levels and the one who decided to begin with this dungeon will be left behind… So, voila, you got famous “treadmill” already. No, maybe not gear treadmill, but “diff level” treadmill. Anyway it is bad and it has come to this, unfortunatelly Little by little and elitism will be born (once again). Arenanet can and should fight this if they want to. But will they? Only time will tell, i guess…
Not being funny but go to plains of ashford and watch people say “LFM AC Exp 80 only” The “lvl treadmill” as you claim has already been in the game pretty much since launch and will always be in it. Fact is people want the best players to have the smoothest run, they always have and always will. Why take someone who is going to wipe the group 5-10 times then someone who’s 80 with exotics who will only make the group smoother. But i agree with you on lore, i wish they took us back to GW1 times ect to replay moments or atleast gave some background lore to each fractal to explain what it is like the woman who speaks to you
Seriously? Every other game i’ve ever played uses this instead of the pathetic WP zerg which made every other dungeon in this game a complete joke. Fiontar, not sure what you mean but if you’re doing one of the ones that has jumping parts in and you fall off the map, it should teleport you to land and leave you in downed state, atleast it did for the people in my group
So the game is bringing out a very slight gear improvement, i would hardly say Anet are forcing a massive gear treadmill on you. Atm it is only on bags and trinket and the image of the two rings show there is a +5 stat difference between the exotic and asceneded, would you say that’s game breaking? Maybe none of you want any character progression, but i for one and i know alot of people who have quit or didn’t want to buy the game becasue there is no character progression at all. I don’t want to be runing around in the same gear for the next 7 years, yeah GW1 had no progression, but GW1 was 90% based on PvP. GW1 was NOT a MMO. No other mmo on the market has no character progression once you hit max lvl because it’s something that makes an mmo an mmo. This is hardly like WoW where your gear becomes completely uselss every few months when a new raid comes out and you spend the next few months farming the next tier of gear. You can do everything in the game still without the ascended gear unless you’re getting into the high lvls of the new dungeon
I give up even trying with you anymore.. Spvp and the rest of the game are completely DIFFERENT. All the top armor skins you can get from PVE are in Spvp, but Spvp has no stats (which makes them USELESS anywhere else in the game) No you should not be able to take your pve skins to pvp because you’re suppose to work for them. You do PVE for PVE rewards (WvW links in with PVE as it’s PvX, not PVE or PVP) you so Spvp for the Spvp rewards, yes new better looking skins ARE reward. A reward isn’t just something that’s more powerful… It is harder to get some of the armor skins in PVE then it is in SPVP which would completely remove them as a reward for pve because you wouldn’t have to spend hours doing dungeons because there is no other way to get that gears skin
No any other style can’t take their gear everywhere else.. I can’t take my pve gear to spvp can i? Spvp items have no stats this means they can’t be taken anywhere else, well they could but they’d just make you even weaker. As i’ve already stated. Spvp is completely different part of the game, it’s not linked with the rest of the game. WvW and PVE are linked together still.
That’s because Spvp and the rest of the game are completely different… In pve all lvl 80 exotics have max stats, only difference is you can choose which 3 stats you want so like Spvp gear isn’t really a massive deal. Yes you are rewarded in spvp, you get new skins. If you ran around in the starting armor in Spvp for the rest of your GW2 life i’m pretty sure you’d moan about that.
So basically.. what you’re saying is, you want to get the best gear in PVE without ever having to do PVE.. well sorry but that’s never going to happen, just like you can’t get Spvp items without ever doing Spvp. You can’t here in GW2 and i’ve never known any other MMO to let you do this either. As i’ve already said it costs 15-20g which really isn’t alot for full exotic gear now surely you can manage that?
This is like saying i don’t want to farm 1 million karma or however much it is for the legendary weapon that i want so instead can i use gold as it’s easier to farm, heck i can even spend real money on it if i want to. Or like saying, i find the exp dungeons too hard on this game and i can’t do them, so can i just do story mode instead and get the tokens still, let’s even go a step further and say let me get CM gear by runing AC just because i prefer AC but the stats on CM are better for my build.
Some people like ORR let them farm Orr
Some people like Dungeons let them farm Dungeons
Some people like WPvP let them farm Wpvp.
Some people like to buy there gear with real life money let them buy there gear
Some people like Spvp and for some reason we get totally shafted. Why is this play style the expection
Some people like to Spvp let them farm Spvp for rewards for Spvp. how are you getting shafted? If you invest hundreds of hours into Spvp then obviously you enjoy it and therefore get rewards for playing the style you want..
Sooo..by this logic I should get glory for farming Orr right?
Sure, Glory is worthless. What does it do for you???
Glory will actually hurt you because the match making system will match you with other players who have tons and tons of glory instead of new players who are new to Spvp
That is the difference, When you come to SPvP you simple pick the gear you want and play.
I like to do world pvp sometimes, but you need gear to do that. In order to get that gear you have to grind hundreds of hours of of WPvP or PvE to be effective. Which I would like to do in Spvp.
If you want to do SPvP, You just zone in pick your loot and play
hundreds of hours of pve? Seriously? One week to get 80, buy full exotics from TP for 15-20g… that’s hardly hundres of hours and that’s just the easy way. Go lvl crafting upto 400, farm Exp dungeons to get the exotic gear (you can even lvl up from this) Farm DE’s (no this doesn’t mean Orr only as you seem to think the only PvE side of this game is to “farm orr” which “takes no skill at all” to get enough karma to get the Orr exotic gear. It really isn’t that hard to gear for WvW aslong as you’re lvl 80.
You said if farming orr and gems is a suitable way to get gear why isn’t spvp? beucase to farm orr you have to be lvl 80… you have to farm DE’s, to get other gear like AC,CM,TA ect you have to farm 1500+ exp tokens to get that full looks.. Now if you could simply farm Spvp abit, get the same gear as someone who’s farmed a certain dungeon for days then they might aswell remove any contents rewards. In pve you have to work for the nice looking gear like i said by farming dungeons or crafting
also i’ll note that raids are not right for gw2. raids are over done as is, and few of the games that keep going with the endgame raid model of eq/wow/wowclones do a decent job of it.
there certainly does need to be more content/areas/stuff for level 80s to engage themselves with, as opposed to day after day in orr or spending so much time in wvw that they burn themselves out completely.
as well there should be more cosmetic type items, like the cultural gear, but unlike the t3 gear, should be at a reasonable obtainable price. the t3 itself needs to go back to headstart level pricing- which teh change was an obvious knee jerk reaction to early youtuber/streamer/etc marathoners exploiting and such, and not really well thought out.
but there needs to be more skins for each armour type to choose from. and i’d even suggest that they change from tyhe current transmutation system to something that encourages us to get as many different outfits as we wish- because as is you get a skin for the stat set(s) you want and bam any other looks beyond that you are pretty much destorying the ability to wear the looks you already obtained, or grinding stat sets you already have just to have them to paste the looks you want onto.
i’d love to get a full wardrobe of different outfits to wear overtop my set- i’d grind them all out over time(casually). but right now there’s no point because it would destroy my current looks or involve duplicating stat sets.
there does not be more open world content to grind all this out in too. orr is such a anti climax after dealing with zombies for too much of the leveling process already. it’s like “hey you know those zombies you’ve been fighting since level 20? well here they are for the next 300 hours too, but now with high frequency long lasting cc and high spawn rates in a high density spawn formation” there’s a lot of cool mobs/species that get underused in this game as is.
What do you expect new content daily? They add new mini dungeons puzzles at halloween, we have a new map coming on the 15th, there is also another update to come in december. This also ties in with the more armor skins, yeah more will most likely be released in time, but i’m pretty sure that they’ve had bigger issues to worry about then oh we don’t have enough armor skins in this game, quick we must fix this.
Also, it’s funny how people moan about there is nothing to work towards in the game because all the gear has the same stats yet so many people moan because T3 is too expensive… You’re suppose to work for it not get it handed on a plate for a day farming orr.
People need to stop expecting everything straight away and wait for the new content to come out which it will. MMO games are farming, you name any mmo that doesn’t consist of farming the same stuff daily, hell atleast this game gives me a reason to go out and farm, 90% of my time spent on wow which i played for about 6 years was sat in org, shatt or dalaran depending on the expansion.
I’m not being funny, but they give us details on updates once Anet have confirmed that they’re deffinatly going to do it. We was told last month about custom arenas, paid and free tournaments. As for alot of ideas such as raids they have said they’re looking into it. Would you prefer them to saying next year we might add a raid, next year comes and oh wait no they scraped that idea long ago and then more people moan saying they give false information.
MMO games are farming, grinding the same things daily. If you do 100 hours of SPvP you do 100 hours of pvp because you like it not because you’re bored of farming orr. You should not get rewarded in PVE because you play PVP they are two completly differnet aspects of the game and if they did it so you could get rewarded from spvp in pve, then they’d also have to reward pvp rewards from pve. If you want pve rewards and don’t want to farm orr then find other ways of farming, maybe they wont be as effective, but atleast they’d be abit more fun.
I was playing the game and suddenly it froze (My game rarely crashes) so i used task manager to close GW2 as it wasn’t responding. However, now every time i click the exe and it loads to the part where it checks if there are any updates to download, i get Gw2.exe.error.
Does anyone know why it’s doing this or how to fix it?
Yeah i was thinking about swapping to a axe/shield weaponset, but i think the sword feels nicer i just don’t like the bleeds. I know the sword is aimed around the bleeds, but there are times where cond damage is useless like attacking burrows. Where as if i go power (if it works) i’d be doing decent damage output anyway not including bleeds then the bleeds would help top it up abit further.
Hey all, i was wondering do you need cond damage to make the sword a decent weapon? I’m a tanky warrior running 0/10/30/30/0 (can’t decide atm between a shout healing build or banners). I use a sword/shield as my main weapon set and i swap out my second weapon between (Longbow for aoe, GS for quick bursts like on burrows and the rifle for ranged fights) I’m currently using CM’s gear which has Prec/Tough/Cond damage stats on and i was thinking about using the AC’s stats which is Power/Tough/Vit for the extra health as tough is good, but as soon as you get a large stack of conditions it becomes useless. However, then i’d loose out on cond damage and was wondering would the sword still be a decent weapon, i don’t want amazing damage, but enough to be able to do a decent ammount, if i stacked power instead. I went to HoTM to test using cond damage and power and they worked out to kill them around the same time.
Has anyone else tried using the sword as a MH weapon but stacking power instead of Cond damage? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Hey all, i’m a lvl 80 warrior and so far have been using sword and shield stacking prec/tough and cond damage, but i’m thinking of trying out the GS and not too sure what gear/stats/traits i should go for. I tried making a build on the spot awhile back, but as i do alot of dungeons and PVE i found i was going down way too fast in dungeons and went back to sword and shield. However, i am forever seeing warriors running around in full dungeon gear with GS’s so i’m just wondering, does anyone have some advice or suggestions on how to build as a GS warrior who doesn’t go town on almost every add pull in dungeons?
Also, i’d like to ask does anyone know if stacking power with the 1h sword would be worth it? The build i’m using atm is a defensive based build and i was thinking about using the AC Power/Vit/Tough gear for the extra hp, but wasn’t too sure if taking power over prec and cond damage would lower my damage drastically or if it works out around the same as having cond damage stats
Why is it every day the games performance seems to get worse and worse. Been playing most of the day went offline to have dinner came back logged in pressed play on my character then 5-10 seconds into the loading screen my game would error. Finally managed to get in, half the textures was missing tree’s, bushes, walls ect. They was all transparent but i could still see their outline, then my game decided to error again and now it errors every time i get to the loading screen. Anyone got any idaes suggesitons?
Is nobody even reading? It doesn’t affect you unless you run multiple dungeons in less then 30 mins each in a short peroid of time. so if in 5 hours you complete 10-20 dungeons in that time then yes you should get lower rewards. If each of your run takes 30mins or more then IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOU AT ALL. There is a bug that is causing people to get a small amount of rewards, that is not DR, that’s a bug they’re working on it. I did all 3 paths in CM and got 60 rewards for each one after each other.
And if speed runing dungeons is your way of having fun then what does it happen if you get 60 rewards for something like 10? If you truely enjoy runing the dungeon super fast for fun then you shouldn’t really care about the rewards, just the fun while you’re doing it.
People need to stop moaning, stop and think about it. Those of you that play or have played wow have already seen this. In wow you can do raids once a week/ you can do heroics as often as you wont, but there is a cap of how many tokens you can get. Same here, if you run dungeons over and over again in less then 30 mins you’re going to get less because what would be the point in making dungeon armor cost loads of tokens if some people can farm the whole set in one day? It’s progressionm you work towards you’re rewards not expect them all in a day. So when people can run every dungeon in 30 mins or less and they have every dungeon armor set then they start moaning “we need more content i’ve completed all the dungeons hundreds of times now i’m bored” How is it any more fun to speed run a dungeon then take it easy relax and actually have fun and enjoy it
What do you mean by have better builds using your own gear? You can get the same gear from spvp, runes sigils everything. You don’t get race elite skills, but they’re not that great anyway
Have you seen those backpacks? I’d rather not thank you. I’m suppose to be a warrior, in heavy armor using a shield, i do not want a big bulky ugly looking backpack on my back clipping with my weapons. This game encourages guilds more then GW1 did, so what do Anet do? remove the best way to repersent your guild. People see your cloaks in GW1 and think “oh that looks good” now we have tiny little logos on ugly weapons/armor and backpacks.
they managed to make cloaks in GW1 without clipping issues and i’m sure if they can make a backpack not clip they can work a way out to do a cloak instead
No offence but this has got to be one of the worse suggestions. There is a reason you farm the dungeons over and over again, for the rewards. What point is there to a dungeon if you can get those rewards with money? If they do that they might aswell just stop working on dungeons all together. I farm CM mainly for the tokens, yes it’s fun doing so, but if i didn’t get tokens for gear i want i wouldn’t farm the dungeons. If you don’t want the armor from that dungeon then don’t do it, it’s simple. Or just delete the tokens once you get them if you’re worried about them taking up space in your invo.
You spoke about GW1 selling crafting mats for the armor, well there is crafting in GW2 and again, if you don’t want heavy armor, sell your ore, if you don’t need cloth armor sell your cloth.
I think a better idea then using endurance as you still need that aswell as blocking and would actually it worse then having the shield skills (in my opinion) would be to use what the thiefs use for their spells. When you equip a shield you should get an extra bar which goes down each time you block. This will allow you to still keep your endurance for when you need it
I think it’s unfair the price for the karma weapons if you use 1 handed weapons. Let’s say you play a thief dagger/dagger pistal/pistal. That means you need to buy 4 weapons costing 200k+ karma where as a ele who uses staff only only needs to spend 66k is it? It’s the same with dungeon weapons. 2handed weapons cost the same amount of tokens as a 1handed weapon does meaning anyone who picks a class that uses 2 1 handed weapons is at a disadvantage and has to farm the dungeons more just to get equal gear. Lower the price of 1 handed weapons or increase the price for 2 handers because at the moment it’s completely unfair. (I played wow before this and if you go and buy weapons in there the 1handed ones are always cheaper then 2handers)
I like the idea, but i’m not too sure about it costing endurance. If it scaled depending on how much damage you take if you block a boss power attack then it could end up taking almost your whole endurance bar? it might just be easier to dodge. Also, alot of fights require you to quikcly dodge out the way especailly when you get low on hp, but if you’re constantly low endurance because of trying to block then you wont be able to. Honestly i think that the 5 second block from warriors shield is fine, maybe they could lower the Cooldown by afew seconds but then it might be abit over powered
There is an option that is set as defult to stop autoattacking when you change target, if you turn it off it should help with the second problem you’re getting, then the only way to stop attacking is if the target dies, you auto attack a different target or as you do, by pressing esc
People play MMO’s like wow where you get loot after every kill then come here and expect the same. You don’t get loot after every kill, nor did you get loot after every kill in GW1. Loot drops randomly on this game and also take into note that there is an anti farming system that lowers your drops/items the longer you kill that type of mob. So you could kill 100 mobs and only get 3 items and that’s just bad luck, you could kill 100 mobs and get loot from every one. But in order to get a “kill” all you have to do is hit them once. When i see people fighting mobs i always get a hit or two on them because we share the exp and the chance of loot. As for number two, it can be annoying on some of those “free the slave” heart quest, however whenever there are quests to free the slaves you can normally complete it by doing other tasks, if there are several players runing around trying to free slaves just kill mobs instead. I lvl up with 3 friends and i’ve never had any problem with playing as a group.
But i agree that pvp needs to be worked on, although the 5v5 point capture games are fun, with only 3 maps and 1 game mode, it gets quite boring, but i’m sure in time they will release more maps and game modes, the games only been out a month. They have minigames too, keg brawl is great fun especailly if you play with friends, they also have one in the asura area. They could do with adding afew more though like the one they had in GW1
Why? Why does it matter if you do a lvl 80 dungeon or a lvl 30 dungeon? The explorable armor you get from tokens are lvl 80 and there are dungeons that are at lvl 80 so they will drop lvl 80 gear. So what does it matter? pvp doesn’t matter if you’re lvl 80 or lvl 1 as you don’t have lvls when you enter. Althought WvW is accessable to everyone from lvl 2 onwards, unless you’re a higher lvl you wont stand a chance without all the traits and spells (elite skill). What could you do at lvl 80 on wow? Daily quests, go to the lvl 80 areas in the game there you will find lvl 80 DE and heart quests. You had lvl 80 dungeons, there are lvl 80 dungeons in this game but you’re also able to do the lvl 30 ones too and it’ll be alot easier. The game has lvl 80 content. Could a level 3 to go to the level 80 maps and do the world boses? No, therefore is it lvl 80 only content? Yes.
This will never happen and it’s good that it wont. You choose the order you wish to join at lvl 30 and you are part of that order for the rest of the game, you can’t join vigil then hop over to priory and be able to freely buy their outfit without being a part of their order. Before making such a big choice in game you should have researched more about the weapons/armor/missions they will be doing. This is like saying i am human, but i think i should be allowed to wear norn armor even though it’s only for their race. If you could buy any of the gear then there would be no difference between the three orders apart from the different cutscenes because after you get the top rank in that order you go off to fight the minions, which all 3 orders do, just slightly difference. You need something to show other people what order you decided to join by the armor ect.
Cbuzz, look around on this forum. There are hundreds of people getting low fps with good computers, i get around 20FPS in cities like LA,BC,DR ect and i ran the game on medium-high settings (I know my computer isn’t great but it should get more then 20FPS) Other times when i’m out doing events ect it’s normally around 40-60 but often lags when turning the screen suddenly I’d also like to point out i have the latest Nvidia driver. There is something wrong with the game that’s causing us to have low fps issues.
there are no class items in the game only race items, however, when you get to lvl 80 alot of the stats on the different types of gear are the same, or you can use the stones to change the look into some items that you think look more mesmery then some of the other outfits. you could even keep the mask that you get at character creation to use at lvl 80
However, the immersion into the fight, and intensity of dodging the fire is lost when you die and can run back. The reasonable difficulty is dropped to no difficulty. Most importantly, the entire down mechanic doesn’t mean crap. Why save a downed player, when they can just run back? Where’s my impetus to help my fellow player get back up?
Exactly! I have encountered that thinking alot now in dungeons. Before the boss, “the team leader” says: you get downed, try to save yourself. If unsuccesful, res to the nearest waypoint and run back. When that gets repetitive, the battle doesn’t feel exciting or fun but quite annoying.
Don’t do Exp with pugs then as this will commonly be the case, but when i play with my mates and we do a dungeon if they just stood there and watched me die in front of them while i was in downstate i’d not be too pleased with them, as would you. If you want to do the dungeons as they’re suppose to, then only do exp with friends, story doesn’t matter as they’re easy anyway
Little by little and elitism will be born (once again). Arenanet can and should fight this if they want to. But will they? Only time will tell, i guess…
