Ettanin.8271

Yes under following conditions:

  • No minigames. This could be abused by gold farming bots which are then immune to reporting as you can’t see them doing it.
  • Crafting: Only if logged out near a crafting station, else this app can be abused. (Log out from PC, login on mobile to get your own crafting bench)
  • Trading post: Only placing orders or outright buying items. No pickup function. Same potential for abuse as in crafting. Should be limited to 200 transactions per day to combat TP bots.

[suggestion] Make mouse arrow HIGHLY visible

Ettanin.8271

OMG this so much. I lose my mouse so often and having to press 78 and 9 when pvping is hard enough but when your mouse pointer gets lost in the fight and you cant even click them is frustrating. And i dont have a gaming keyboard or mouse so cant hotkey to anything.

I hot keyed 6 to E 7 to z 8 to x 9 to c and 10 to q might help you

Or try 6 = Shift+1, 7 = Shift+2, 8 = Shift+3 etc.

On Windows, there is a mouse option that you can turn on that will make a visible circle appear around your cursor when you press ctrl. Works while in GW2 as well.

2nd: Stay inside, near the entrace,
3rd: Open up an LFG request
4th: Wait for ppl to get in
5th: You are now immune! If they kick you, they’ll lose the instance as well, as you are the instance owner.

No, because Reincarnation would lead to vertical progression which is counteracting the intention of GW2.

We don’t need nor want a dungeon finder. Use the LFG tool instead, it also works well with randoms and other unorganized people.

What you are suggesting is in essence the same as the dungeon finder we know and hate from WoW.

patch size???

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

i’d like to know how big the patch is gonna be, just to anticipate, you know, because not everyone have unlimited downloads, and if I go past a few gigabites, my internet is gonna shut down for the rest of the month.. so yeah, even if it’s just speculation, it would be greatly apreciated

You should probably look at getting a different ISP. There are quite a few out there these days with unlimited downloads/bandwidth, some do come with a fair usage policy but I’ve never met anyone who has had the policy inforced.

Tell me a single ISP offering LTE via German Telecom without monthly quotas. (ADSL/VDSL is not an option here)

Right, there’s none. Not everyone has the ability to get unlimited 1337mbit/s like you seem to have.

Golds from dungeon is killing the economy

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

You might want to consider taking an economics class at some point.

Sry but what happen when u have a economy that continue to print money without regulating it and ways to effectively way to take it out of circulation. Money become worthless.

If you wish to remove anything that prints money, then Gold to Gem and Gem to Gold has to be removed also, which is one of ArenaNet’s/NCSoft’s main revenue sources (and which is why gems grow more and more expensive, because players converted more gold to gems than gems to gold). Not going to happen.

Will ascended gear always be crafted only?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

IMHO crafting the gear is more realistic, for example:
When you slay a big meany mythical mighty beast, you do not get directly part of an armor from it, but rather would scavenge it’s scales/hide/skin/fur as resource for crafting a mighty armor.

And you might use it’s teeth and bones as materials for mighty weapons while using it’s claws and eyes for jewelry.

Yes, please make precursors craftable.

And yes, crafting as in getting the materials is challenging. Because the journey is the reward, not the luck.

What Would Mounts do for this Game?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

PETA is against using mounts. So is the Asuran Thinker’s Party.

They mount their Golems from time to time though. Asurans can leave the animal mounts to other races if they don’t like them.

They’ll lose revenue which in turn makes maintaining the waypoints more difficult and make far-range travelling more difficult for non-mount users.

Also, golems are not designed for long-range travel.

Do somethign about the lfg pls

Ettanin.8271

This method likely protects you from being kicked:
1st: Start a new party, staying close to the dungeon entrance
2nd: Wait until someone joins
3rd: Enter the dungeon immediately. Now you should be Instance host.
4th: If anyone wants to kick you, all players of your party will lose progress.

Usually they don’t wan’t to lose progress. So they’d rather leave. Don’t worry though, people with common sense will stay and additional ones will join.

Verification for TS3/MUMBLE or whatever....

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

The TC mumble requires In-Map verification to prevent spying. State your correctly formatted mumble name ([GTAG]Charname) in the mapchat and a server admin or moderator will register you.

If you are unaffiliated or not in a WvWvW relevant guild, use [_] instead.
Also, if you tend to use multiple characters, use your account name instead (this worked in my case)

In order to skip registration if you are on a new rig, export your Mumble cert and import it on the new rig.

Suggestions regarding Supply

in WvW

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

Loot supply from enemy players
If you defeat an enemy player, you should be able to loot his/her corpse to pick up the supply he/she carries with him/her. If the player respawns at a waypoint, he/she drops the supply (it’s depleted to 0) as a bag to the ground at the position he/she was defeated at, able to be picked up by any other player.

Ability to deposit supply
What about the ability to deposit supply to a depot if you don’t need it or want to accelerate the supply line by carrying supply between camp and fortification?

On open world loot

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

Make ascended materials purchasable with Karma (the basic ones: Dragonite Ore, Empyreal Fragments, Bloodstone Dust). This would, besides Obsidian Shards, give more reason for farming Karma.

Perhaps for these prices:
10 Bloodstone Dust = 500 Karma (100 equals about 20 Events)
10 Dragonite Ore = 750 Karma (100 equals about 30 Events)
10 Empyreal Fragments = 1000 Karma (100 equals about 40 Events)

20/30/40 Events are a reasonable amount for one craftable stack and are quickly done.

Why? Not everyone likes to do Dungeons, Chestruns or WvWvW (Empyreal Fragments) and not everyone can snipe World Bosses flexibly (Dragonite Ore)

LFG tool: Tabs for world bosses and temples

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

Hello,

we now got an LFG tool for dungeons (which is, TBH, way better than the automatic version of WoW).

What about additional tabs for world bosses and temples?
In these tabs you can form (if you got the commander badge) or join squads to kill the specified world boss or free the specified temple.

This should make finding players for certain bosses and temples easier.

Do not trade via mail. This is not supported by Arenanet and there are no compensations or other reversions done by Support if such kind of trade is done.

Use the Black Lion Trading Post instead.

And yes, you nearly would have become a scam victim. If the dude really wants to sell the Precursor, he’d done so at the BLTP.

An LFG tab for Group Events, working like the ones for dungeons, divided by zones, would be a good idea, but not automated like in WoW. Perhaps that way more Group Events would become done.

Another incentive for Group Events could be increased rewards, perhaps based on the current value in Coin equivalent to one gem (not really directly a Gem but Coin equivalent to 1 Gem)?

[Sug] parallel leveling: Scrolls of Knowledge

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

Idea: For every time you gain a level on one character, you additionally gain a page of knowledge.

This page of knowledge is account bound, has a maximum level requirement equivalent to the new level of the character and can be used by any character that does not exceed the level of the scroll of knowledge.

(i.e. a page generated by a character that levelled to Level 10 cannot be used on a Level 80 character, but used on a Level 10 or lower character)

Upon using the page, the character that uses this scroll gains 5% of XP needed for the next level.

Cooldown for dual spec: 15 mins
Not usable while in combat.

Without these restrictions: It’s p2w if for gems.

15 mins is a reasonable short amount to provide flexibility while preventing abuse of that ability.

If it is part of an exploit to leave the NPCs dead, then yes, you did the right thing. Breaking their attempt to exploit.

Abusing exploits is a bannable offense.
Resurrecting NPCs, for whatever reason, is not bannable.

Their reports are void, and in a special case, may lead to backfire, banning them.

Think that way:
If you plan to play GW2 for at least three more months, then yes, it’s worth it. Why?
Assuming a GW2 “sub” would cost $15 a month (Just like WoW; 3K gems are $40 minimum) you’d pay 3 months of playtime, but in contrast to pay for just being able to play you also get some nice stuff for the money.

My suggestions to the game itself

Posted by: Ettanin.8271

Ettanin.8271

My current only suggestions for this game is to;
- Introduce spectating peoples gears/characters.

Elitism is bad for GW2.

- New tier sets with expansions or patches.

ANet stated that they don’t want to introduce vertical progression, but rather horizontal.

A greater part of your suggestions are copying WoW, which GW2 does not want to do. If you still prefer to see these things, you are better off playing WoW instead.
