Topic title should be “3 things that make a great MMO I cant stop playing”
I’m loving the free blues/greens/yellows that I get from chests. Not sure about you, but I like to goto the Mystic Forge and turn them into better items, or rare crafting materials.
Yellows? I’ve never gotten a yellow from a chest, and I’ve opened MANY. It’s usually just the garbage you sell to NPCs for little coin.
^According to that logic we should remove chests altogether and any reward from the game. Doh.
The less than stellar pro-reviews have really targeted endgame being an issue

I just ignore all “professional” reviews altogether. A bunch of useles garbage most of the time.
How to SOLVE WvWvW Queue - Death kicks you from WvW (5 minute rejoin penalty)

Ronder:
“Wrong.
It would mean better players would stay in WvW
Weaker players who die more often will be will have 5 minute penalty and be back in the action before they know it”
Have you ever played WvW? Whether or not you are a “good” or “strong” player there matters very little. Everyone who actually fights dies. The only ones who don’t die are the ones who hang in owned keeps doing nothing but hanging around, admiring the landscape or waiting for someone to shoot with a ballista from the top of the wall. Your system favors them over people who actually engage in combat. In fact, it may actually be the case that queues may be shorter, as many people wouldn’t even bother with WvW due to the fact that you’d spend more time on loading screens than actually playing.
Moreover, this completely ruins any long term strategy you may be building up. All of the time you’d lose track of your platoon and have to ask in the chat for information on what happened or what changed since you got kicked. Getting kicked is not fun.
Just like any class can which knows their abilities. But some classes can do it better.
Guardian is notoriously better to do what he described in comparison to pretty much any profession.
Wrong game. Just play one of the million games that do this instead. This game is not about gear progression.
if its not about gear progression then i guess my level 3 shortbow will do just fine against a level 80 legendary shortbow?
What is wrong with your brain?
You know exactly what I am talking about. You get exotic level 80 gear and you are set. There is no progression beyond that beyond that of aesthetics, as it should be. This is the game philosophy.

NOTE:
please dont reply to this unless you actually have completed every dungeon and killed the last boss in arah explo mode and tried them all 4 in explo mode.
+ OFCOUSE done both wvw and spvp quite a bit with SEVERAL different classes. since if you havent you would have no idea wth i am talking about.
I am actually laughing at this. Throwing this stuff on the original post doesn’t make your opinion any better.
I have 20g. Considering some stuff on the TP is bought for 80g, I think I’m not poor nor rich.
It does look like some bots. Try talking to them. I’d report either way.
Treadmill in disguise. No, thanks.
Yes, please. It is simple but necessary. Make the color different too so that people can’t cheat.
You can’t possibly run out of coin if you’re selling materials at TP.
/map Hello, I have a question.
Chantry of Secrets. Everyone misses that.
How about doing it for the tokens? Or do it once a day? Dungeons were never meant to be farmed for easy exp.
I wonder how long it’ll take for NCSoft to shut GW down too.
Thief is fine, honestly. They do have some power, but that comes with innumerous cons.
I will be there. Good chance to meet some roleplayers.

They just need to fix the name. This shouldn’t be taking so long.
I would love to use all of that extra space.
I find this to be completely unnecessary. I would also block people from looking if it were there. I don’t understand why people expect every single useless feature from WoW to be here.
They were originally supposed to be account wide, so do it.
Please.
That really doesn’t justify much. Ranger was originally supposed to be two different classes, it was originally supposed to have stat points, a lot of things were originally supposed to be in a way and were changed because of a new idea.
I think things are pretty balanced as they are right now. It may be a good idea with future content though.
@roqoco
I disagree. As a low leveled character, you don’t get to enjoy high events and dungeons that maxed characters are able to reach. I would think that low leveled characters are the limited ones in comparison.
@Illushia
Yes, probably. I misread the quote as I was on a hurry to leave before posting. My apologies there.
You do realize that you’re arguing against what most consider to be the greatest Japanese swordsman that ever lived when you say this, right?
I know who you’re talking about. The quote, though, is that while you -can- use a Katana onehanded, you lose much of the power and control possible with the blade- which is what the blade is made for. And using a Katana onehanded(With a kodachi or Wakazashi in the offhand) was what he used when surrounded by multiple opponents to buy himself time.
A katana is meant to be used with two hands. It was -designed- to be used with two hands. Using it otherwise is crippling yourself for no reason other than style, or using it for something that’s incredibly situational.
Musashi teaches a style of using a Katana in one hand and a shorter sword on the off-hand.
Katanas are two-handed swords.
They can be used with one hand, from what I’ve seen.
I’m not sure what you’ve been watching but the only type of “katana” that can be used in one hand is a defensive weapon just less than the size of a short sword. They don’t call it a katana however, it’s called a kodachi.
I haven’t been watching, I have been reading. Television is a horrible source of information for this sort of stuff.
It’s just my two cents and please try to understand where I’m coming from, by responding civilly.
“You don’t want account bound dyes because it will cut down your ingame income”.
That just comes across as pure greed to me.
No, you will ruin a market and destroy any sort of challenge in the process. Again, you might as well ask for free permanent dyes for everyone, it’s the same thing.
You want us to buy the same dye from you 5 times just for your own benefit.
You can also look for the dye by yourself. This is already heaven in comparison to GW, where you needed a single dye for every single piece of equipment you wanted coloured. And they were a lot more expensive.
[quoteAnd you’re missing the point, you’re not going to make the sale anyway.
Like I said earlier, you can sell one account bound dye and get something or try to sell 5 character dyes and get nothing.[/quote]No. With account-bound dyes people won’t buy dyes again, prices will drop. It’s very easy to sell right now, and they’re already cheap/accessible.
Also, just skimming the thread, it appears the character bound dye proponents are in the minority here, so I’d say the people have spoken.
This thread does not represent anything from the total number of players. Nonetheless, a LOT more people than this had asked for account-bound dyes MONTHS ago, and devs already made it very clear that it’s not going to happen. Once again, this is a business, not a democracy.
I’m currently having to deal with another mmo being greedy with their ingame store and it looks like the trend is continuing here!
Ludicrous exaggeration. Arenanet gets very little from this.
@Dusk
Like something that has nothing to do with falling.
How is tapping the dodge button right as you hit the ground “a lot of trouble”?
I mean a lot of trouble to implement. I’d rather see something significant instead.
It would be horrible otherwise. Sometimes you just want to auto target or check the stats of someone without attacking. Don’t be lazy, just push an attack skill button again.
Sounds like a lot of trouble for a not as useful feature.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea.
Death means literally nothing in this game, both in PvE and PvP, this solution would at least makes it mean something in PvP.
It would mean WvW would be full of people who stay away from combat while the productive ones wait on the queue.
People who don’t like leveling are a ridiculously low obsessive compulsive minority that is simply not worth changing the game for. There is no disadvantage for being overleveled.

This is terrible. God no. Impossible to have any organized strategy in the game because people get kicked.
Why does every game have to have a freaking Katana? Maybe the warriors of Kryta, wearing mostly plate armor, decided the Katana was pretty crappy at breaking through heavy plate? And until they implement a way for heavy armor to decrease speed and warriors to wear lighter armor, I don’t see a reason for Katanas.
This is a fantasy game.
Katanas are two-handed swords.
They can be used with one hand, from what I’ve seen.
Why? With downleveling in this game your actual level is almost meaningless. .
Uh, yeah, once you’re level 80. So it is meaningful. Level restrains accessible content.
The food bonus is ridiculous either way, it is plain silly to complain about that.
Guardian trick only works on the Straits one.
ok lets look at gw1, you could pretty much do everything on one character in gw1.
No, your armor was limited to your primary class.
This is not GW or FFXI either way, if you want to change classes go play those. This thread is pointless.
There are multiple areas for all level ranges. Go to the ones in which you aren’t underleveled.
It only allegedly affect loot drops. No one can tell how it works.
No…apparently being concerned about something you have absolutely no control over other than endless whining is the in thing.
Feel free not to post in this thread then. Whining about whining is pretty much the same.
I’ve also heard a lot of stories of people “teleporting” around. Sounds like they are messing with packet editors. I hope Arenanet does something to stop it.
You got a point, but I doubt that they use ONLY hacked accounts.
And even though this is the internet, you could have said it nicer.
I am quite sure they use almost exclusively hacked accounts. There is a lot of evidence pointing into the direction that they are responsible for most hackings going on. There would be no profit if they had to pay for a new account all of the time. They are into it for the profit, there is no sense otherwise. And I did not mean to be rude, sorry if it sounded that way.
I don’t know exactly what is causing this, but half of the time those buttons simply don’t show up and I get only a permalink option instead. It’s bothering me a bit, since not being able to quote takes a lot away from certain posts.
