I love the people who just have it in their head the guesting has nothing to do with it. IT DOES…PERIOD! Might not be THE reason. But it has never been a problem before guesting and the new patches. The new loot from chests or whatever, coupled with guesting is the reason.

Get over yourselves and think for a change

You’ll not find anyone saying guesting doesn’t contribute, but stop dilluding yourself it is a tiny fraction of the problem. Guesting was implented before the loot changes and worked fine. Now that the boss events give much better loot though it is suddenly the fault of guesting that people get thrown in overflow. Stop kidding already most of your server is going for the easy loot. So yes stop blaming guesting. Suggest using Occam’s razor when looking at the problem. if your server has LA overflow on a regular bases than wouldn’t it be just as likely that events on a server where guilds keep informing their community the events are active will cause an overflow as well.

I’ll not get an infraction for saying what I think of your kitten post….

What you posted has nothing to do with what I posted. Nuff said. I never blamed guesting but paired it with the patch. Read…it helps your brain.

How about getting over yourselves, and stop blindly blaming something you can’t even prove is the cause. How about waiting for an official response from ANet?

btw this was a problem before guesting… overflows and lag at launch? yes. overflows and lag at the Karka event? yes.

=)

It was never a problem before both guesting and the patches…what game have you been playing.

I’m actually kinda on the side of the ppl arguing that guesting isnt the problem. I just can’t sit here and say it isn’t part of the problem. And if you can say that…you are delusional.

Lady Lozza.9670:

Gestankfaust, if you and I were to both sit down and play 30 hours do you believe that you should be rewarded for your 30 hours twice what I am rewarded?

I have no idea why or how you even came up with this. A reward is for doing something. You cannot get a reward for not doing a thing. Is this so hard to grasp?

Dailies are easy. Do them (without really doing anything other than normal play) and get a reward. If you and I played 30 hours, we would both have almost 2 dailies done (if the 30 hours were without a break).

Again…is this hard to grasp?

Edge.4180:

They claimed to have fixed culling in an upcoming patch which was referenced in an interview on another website. Problem is, they specifically mentioned WvW and not PvE, so it’s difficult to tell if that’s just an oversight or their fix doesn’t apply to the PvE maps.

If you actually knew anything about culling…you’d know the answer. Culling happens game wide. It’s a graphical issue that affects everyone. But WvW might see it more than PvE because it affects player models. So if the fix is working, it will work both ways. There isn’t a WvW culling system.

I love the people who just have it in their head the guesting has nothing to do with it. IT DOES…PERIOD! Might not be THE reason. But it has never been a problem before guesting and the new patches. The new loot from chests or whatever, coupled with guesting is the reason.

Get over yourselves and think for a change

I dunno about necros…but my engi with a bomb or grenade kit? Kinda cool

3. You transmuted it…stats are what they are.

Q – Why would they change?

By transmuting the item…you choose what it’s stats are for life. I don’t even remember anywhere Anet saying that if the level increases…or however you wanna put it…that the current item you own would increase.

I hope it doesn’t. A retro active increase seems …. well….dumb

Anet has said that legendary items will always be the best, therefore if they add in items with better than current legendary stats the legendaries will get a stat boost to remain at the top

They never said that the current legendaries would get a stat boost that I know of. That’s the debate from the masses. Which is my point

Seriously. this game is going to be around for years. There’s plenty of time to farm laurels.

seriously , some peoples just need to maximize and be more efficient while they play
i play 1.5hr – 2hr a day and i can do easily the daily …

yesterday i played 2:30Hrs :

- I played the TP mini game a bit
- Finished at least 6 daily task .. so is more than requirement
- Tequalt , Jormag , fire elemental + one Maw event
- Eternal Battleground jumping puzzle 2 times ( 2 toons )
- Enough WvWvW battle to earn 30 Badges of honor with a ranger

oh and my March monthly is already done at 100% and with my guild we have completed one bounty mission already ( 2 guild commendation ) …… so matbe today ill just do my daily in 20 minutes and relax

Now don’t go and make it seem easy. I can see that these people have a rough time playing a game.

Wow…just wow

So you have worded it differently but still managed to say that you are too lazy and can’t be bothered to do easy tasks to get a reward.

Only difference is that….somehow you lumped the guild missions in too. I am baffled.

I applaud you.

Lady Lozza.9670:

We need mines, and oil rigs, and CSG, because these industries produce the metals we build our PCs with, and the electricity we run them off. Those of us who willingly work in this industry don’t work a 9-5 job in a city office, we work in remote locations with little to no internet access, long hours, and typically spending only one week of every month at “home”.

I applaud your selective reading.

Yer right…I should have also addressed “We need mines, and oil rigs, and CSG, because these industries produce the metals we build our PCs with”

How about you people stop posting essays and get to the point. Which is what I replied to…the point. I ignored the fluff…sorry. Not in college.

You believe calling “not having internet” lazy is addressing the point?

It seems the point was more a discussion on how time-gating content/reward is not inclusive, and perhaps there are other options.

Time gating? Are you serious?

If you don’t invest the time into getting something, then you shouldn’t get it. It’s a sad fact of life and it’s not going to change. It’s not “inclusive” after all, but why would you be included in something you don’t have the time for in the first place?

The only alternative to this is to make the rewards purchasable which is NOT a practical solution even admitted by the OP himself.

Time-gating, if you read the OP, refers to spending the same amount of real hours in the game, but in different distribution.

The OP proposes that a regular player who has internet access/gaming capability all month round can put in 30 hours, 1 hour a day and get the full daily rewards. As compared to others who can also put in 30 hours, but due to work circumstances cannot distribute that over 30 days, but instead can only invest that through 7 days. That player, such as the OP, will not get the full dailies reward.

Not to propose a technically feasible solution, since I do not have one; but a hypothetical solution would be allowing players to complete 30 dailies in 30 days, but not necessarily requiring them to be done on 30 separate days.

Gating…another made up gaming word that means nothing. Faceroll is another. When will you people stop creating kitten words for gaming terms?

To ^this point….do you really play your games this way? Do you really have to think about it that much? The thought put into this is so asinine that it’s insane. Seriously!

Play the game provided…stop acting like you were promised something else. Try and remember what it was like in the old days…I doubt you can…but…

Crossaber.8934:

imo, flee speed could be there: ignoring incoming attack but focus on the run which as a result of receiving extra damage for more movement speed.

See…sometimes I get a different point of view and it makes me think.

^This

Some sort of “flee” does make sense.

These others that just cant get why you slow…I dunno

lol…oh wait…I get it. Thought the OP meant weapons with karma stats. You see…the OP detailed the OP post…that there was no way that I could wonder what the thread was about…and stuff

Used to be a reward for other things but haven’t been seen in a while. So…yeah, your best bet is the kitten gem mine

karma weapons? Is there such a thing?

Cant remember where it was. In a very snowy. frosty area. There is this place an event can be started where you have to fight a very angry Ice Imp type boss. You have to give an artifact to an NPC…so you may know what I’m talking about.

I had no idea what was about to happen and was looking around. Then….yeah

I was playing my guardian and saw the boss downing ppl and went in for the “sacrifice”. I say that because I don’t think I, or my class was better than those being downed. I thought I could draw it’s attention. I did just that…

For some reason, on this mob, I was able to do some damage, but also evade/heal it for a long period. Once I saw this, I played the kicker in an NFL game on a fake field goal. I ran around kiting the boss. Seemed like 10 minutes until it was dead by the other three or four players.

Never played the role of pinata before…but…

I watched this thread get to 6 pages and can’t believe the MMO community today.

I wish we could go back to the days before public beta testing. Back when you bought a game and played it for what it was, not for what your nasally one sided voice kittened at the devs for it to be.

Thanks…for a more clear version than “Are you on crack”. And making me feel like Im not crazy

It’s not that they level slow…per say

They don’t kill all in sight as fast as the rest is all. It’s more of a take your time and clear an area class to me. I totally have fun , but know I can’t jump in and decimate the masses. See what I mean?

Shanna.4762:

I think it has more to do with the fact they want to have a more seamless approach to building the world and opening new parts of it up rather than making us wait for months just for a paid expansion. Just because they don’t have a timetable for expansions right now, doesn’t mean we’re gonna be waiting forever to see the rest of Tyria. They can do that gradually in the updates.

This ^

Plus…why this thread?

Neither are great for you then. They both level slower than some others. But my Engi is fun and levels ok. I have great AOEs when I need them.

Sahfur.5612:

Its a horrible mechanic. Enough said.

No…it is not. It’s the same in most MMOs that want you to not be able to run through the world naked. It works as intended.

WTF is up with you people? You think you should actually not break stride after bring hit? What do you think the other side would post? “WTF!!! I hit the prick and he never slowed at all!!!”

nuff said.

Yeah…you might be like me and outlevel yourself. I always end up ahead of the curve at first. Kill more stuff and (if you are or not talking about story quest) make sure you keep up with the personal story. Also, crafting gains a level or two at the beginning.

Umm…engi?

I dont get the question though. They kinda dont have the same skills

Nalora.7964:

Gestankfaust.4216:

Works both ways. They don’t run normal speed when you hit them either. It’s combat speed. Keeps things even for combat. If you could just run at normal or buffed speed through mobs…that’s when it would get ridiculous.

So…they are slowed. Slowed to your speed. Which makes sense.

Could you please forward this to the Risen in Orr? I have never seen them slowed by any of my attacks. I have also never seen in film or otherwise Undead that have speed boost on them at all times. Most are lumbering slow creatures. The undead of Tyria seem to have a completely different physiology than any world I have ever read about, or experienced.

Yeah…Im there with ya. But the system still is as I said. Maybe they just have a better run speed cause they want your brains

:P

wow…you two are so up to date. I’m lealous

I never ever saw it before this thread. But hey…you can be in as the founders of the now “Old and Tired” Quaggan Movie Joke Club.

Sorry..we will move on

Traditional quests can be “do X thing Y times”, but hearts are always “do X thing Y times”.

What you said equates to the same exact thing. Hearts “can be” anything same as traditional.

I’m sure you didn’t read what I said…but hearts aren’t supposed to be traditional quests. They are renown hearts…that’s what they are called. You gain status in the area doing them.

1.) Traditional quests can be long running chains that take you on an adventure. Renown hearts are always “do X thing Y times”. Renown hearts can never be anything but that.

2.) You don’t gain status in the area. There is no such thing as factions with actual renown.

3.) Renown hearts don’t make the game more fun. Renown hearts don’t make me more immersed (on the contrary they reduce it). Renown hearts are simply there because in alpha/closed-beta testing new players were confused on where to go because dynamic events being the main PvE content was never tried before. They were also added because (as is obvious) there aren’t enough Dynamic Events to fill up each map and keep people busy.

Point is…that you missed…is that there’s both. Hearts handle your rep in an area, events from NPCs handle the rest.

Sorry you want every game to be the same. This seems quite ok with me.

Hero…or zero

You just met bad guilds.

I have never…EVER…joined a guild where I didn’t know the people. I’d rather solo

Your average heart quest:
*clean this
*Kill enemies around heart
*train fighters

Also why is there hearts to begin with? How about tasks from different NPC’s that create small story driven DE’s.

Huh?

No…heroes do things to make their name known. Maids? wtf?

Because you are helping an area, not a person. Which is way better for the sole reason hearts are made for. There are event for single NPCs

So players should be the maids for those areas? People help people not areas!

Wha?

Heroes help anyone. They make a name for themselves doing so. A maid does chores for a single person…srsly…huh?

Yet you still HAD to make a new thread about it

Uh huh. It was that or throw it into the other 37 pages.

Should have just watch South Park. Got more accomplished

I’m not biased…I have only read what was posted here.

Buying it takes time to gather gold and then acquiring it.

Making it seems to make sad clowns of people towards those just buying it. Cause it takes a long time AND money to do so.

As far as the people I know to have made them…you get a way better feeling from it than anything else. My guildies are elated after they finish. And we all (in the guild) know what they have accomplished.

I know that I will never have the patience though….or the gold

:D

What’s map chat?

Ema said it best. Do anything and everything you feel is fun. I have two 80 I still play with as well as 3 alts I can kick around lower levels. I just do what is fun for the day.

I only see goofy ppl playing. Story seems fine or on par.

Ykfox.3825:

You want to do WHAT to my Undead Baby Chicken? -.-

Those are called “Nuggets”

Heart quests are the perfect traditional quests. Dating back to the PnP games.

Id say it would be better to know if said legendary really will get it’s stats increased if and when they raise the bar…right?

As far as I have read…nothing clear has been said about it.

Onshidesigns.1069:

Limit the number of threads you can open each day about the same topic to 2 times a day (account wide).

FTFY

Still talking about something that took me an hour to do TWO sets of dailies for me (and most) today huh? All the while I was just leveling and/or having fun

/me kicks a chicken

LOL!

Finger pickin good

;)

I really would hope and wish that if 20 of anything stood on the same spot…they’d all get kilt/hurt by the grenades/other AOE. But I know they need some sort of mechanics behind it. I still haven’t noticed a difference though

Ohhhh…that one

No one talks about that one though…right?

3. You transmuted it…stats are what they are.

Q – Why would they change?

By transmuting the item…you choose what it’s stats are for life. I don’t even remember anywhere Anet saying that if the level increases…or however you wanna put it…that the current item you own would increase.

I hope it doesn’t. A retro active increase seems …. well….dumb

Haven’t noticed a change at all
