They have started to flag videos so you can’t earn money on them , So people that are making a living out of posting youtube videos won’t get any food on their tables .

People who make quality videos are just fine. It’s people who just record game content without adding anything to it that they’re really cracking down on.

Also, I’d prefer if GW2 didn’t become an e-sport, thanks.

Are you sure? From what I’ve read, some channels such as woodenpotatoes are at jeopardy because of this policy, since it is monetized.

Okay, I’ve just further read into the matter, and yes, apparently this is bigger than I thought. I hope Arenanet realizes that this is a mistake that has the potential to completely crush their popularity among a large group of players.

While I think that we could use a lot more skills and a generally more interesting combat system, I don’t agree with some of the things you have said.

First, melee is not underpowered. The potential damage for melee is ridiculously larger than ranged. There are more risks, but more rewards as well. In the end, everyone can switch to melee/ranged as they see fit. And traits are ridiculously superior to GW’s stat system, sorry, I don’t think we can even compare.

Well, if that’s really that necessary to build an e-sport community, it is time for them to re-evaluate their intentions with what is planned for sPvP.

Maybe they’ll get an actual job now.

99% of people who make videos or stream don’t make a penny off of it… just sayin

Well, I am replying to the point that people will somehow die of hunger because of this.

Just to clarify – just the money-making users are being flagged for this? I don’t see the issue if that’s the case. It’s within Arenanet’s right to do so. You can definitely post your e-sport videos without profiting on them.

Not always the case. Sometimes those traits are just arbitrarily thrown into a line that has nothing to do with the weapon. And in fact, it is a bit like saying swords are meant to be used this way, and bows that way.

“I don’t think these exist, and if they do, they don’t stand in the center of Lion’s Arch going “Safe and fast GW2 Gold! Hand-leveling power farming! Safe and fast you trust me!” and various other things in broken English.”

I don’t know about GW2, but these do exist in many other games. It’s usually people with low income who get into gold farming jobs to sell those.

Basically as with all MMo’s, the OP is upset because botting happens in the first few weeks.

Did you read thread? This is not just about the bots, but also insane cheating in the game.

It takes a while to separate the botting code lines from the genuine players, and companies do not take action until they are sure they are taking out the right people.

Yeah, because teleporting around and telepathically killing stuff is very discreet.

You have to try to understand that botting is a constantly evolving process, always being just the right side of the detections.

Oh, please. This is some obvious packet editing. They are not trying to be discreet. Most games don’t give the client that amount of control to begin with and automatically block such absurd anomalous behavior. If this sort of stuff is possible, I can’t een picture when the duping exploits will show up.

Imagine how the code looks for people killing over 500 monsters in one day, and over a specific area. What about the genuine players farming for specific materials in the same area?

Normal players don’t cross huge maps in a blink.

I don’t understand, how are they “teleporting” from one mob to another?

They disappear from a spot and appear on another apparently while jumping and land in the new location. They cross huge distances that way. Then they attack with melee from absurd ranges.

The design (apparently) is that you must farm slowly and calmly over a long period of time (not all at once) to obtain the pieces. For example, doing it once a day over a month.

Best MMORPG on the Market!

Eochaidh.4106

No. Its not the best mmo on the market. That title is still reserved for WoW. Before you bash me, no, i have not played WoW for many years now. But you cannot deny the level of content and polish WoW has.

That said, IF Anet can get their kittens together. Then this game definitely has the POTENTIAL to be the best MMO on the market.

WoW the best? Seriously? Is being popular the same as being the best now?

IMO This game is not anti social, but lacks social aspects.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Eochaidh.4106

Eochaidh.4106

we are not saying “forcing players”.

but merely, ENCOURAGING social aspects.

ex: in a DE, there could be a leader, and that leader alone can type and it will appear on top of everybody screen. leader could be selected by having more total karma aquired so far, or whatever else.
without definite “LEADERS” that can “CLEARLY” get their msg to the team.
itll be chaotic.

There is barely anything like that given that most DEs are easy and lack strategy. The closest thing you’ll get to a leader is a bunch of random people yelling for you to fight the Shades when fighting Risen Grenth Acolyte.

Add Longer Duration "Stealth" PvE-Only Skill

in Suggestions

Posted by: Eochaidh.4106

Eochaidh.4106

“Stealthed characters would be obfuscated, not invisible, similar to how stealthed mobs and NPCs refract light but they can still be seen. Making it so that perceptive players can still pick out a Thief who is actively moving around or standing out in the open. This makes this more of a PvE centric ability, though it still has application as a scouting ability in WvW.”

This opens the potential for graphic mod/packet reading hacks to detect the player’s location clearly. A system that makes the player completely vanish from the enemy screen is preferred in my opinion.

Long stealth is not what Arenanet has in mind for thief though.

Hide Damage/Healing Numbers?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Eochaidh.4106

Eochaidh.4106

I understand your issue, and I agree, but for this game, hiding HP bars would be impractical, as there really is no way to know when an enemy really is close to falling without it. Your foes aren’t visibly hurt and they don’t show visual signs that they are weak as far as I am concerned.

These things are some classic tabletop relics that, even with possible alternatives on the table, persist on MMORPGs. People just are too used to numbers and some will even turn hostile if you attempt to take their numbers away from them.
