ComingTo WvW on 12/14 (renamed)

in WvW

Halo.8976

Why not instead leave the character of the player in the game for 10-20 seconds, vulnerable to attacks? This alternative method seems to be well established in plenty of similar online games, as it would avoid issues like being stuck in combat state without actually being attacked. If no enemy manages to kill this player within the time-frame, then no one should get any loot or death penalty.

Answer: this just harder to code.

How to recover from Thief stealth

in WvW

Posted by: Halo.8976

Halo.8976

The problem with thieves – their skills have offensive and defensive abilities at the same time. So, while other classes must choose what they want to be – a cannon or a fortress, thieves can the both. Their offensive skills provide them defense, stealth and way to escape.

I hoped for leaderboards, unclimbable walls, WvW builds, WvW bank and reward for defended donkeys.
Oh well, Breakout Events sound awesome. I thought you forgot about this part of your game, Anet.

When do I get Ascended rings?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Halo.8976

Halo.8976

Welp, congratulations anet, fractals are dead for me now.

Some people are lucky, some are not. 2 weeks running 2nd tier dailies, only one ring so far (and the worst one for my build).
Now, some classes can run and without rings 3rd tier, but agony is really pushing necro (huge HP pool, poor heal), and I don’t want to be carried. So I’d prefer to slow down and get at least +10 agony resistance before going to 3rd. What options do I have besides RNG?
Getting back-thingy for fractal relics is way too much grind (hello, manifesto).
Getting back-thingy for gold is the same grind. I can afford (just don’t want), but many can’t.

Anyway, now I’m at the point where I’m sick of fractals. They took too much of my time for only poor loot. Starting was fan, I liked the idea of challenge. But right now it’s more like banging your head against a wall. It’s unbelievable buggy. Funding people is a pain and there are always rage quits, DC issues and etc. I like progression, but progression based on luck is not progression, it’s BS.

I’m done with fractals. Good job, anet, you did well.

It affects me.
There are about 20g worth items and 2nd chance of getting a precursor (300g). Precursor aside, somebody got their 20g for free while I should still farming for it. Those people can buy ectos, for example, and get better gear, so they can run higher fractal levels or something.

If only GW2 wasn’t so grind and RNG based game I wouldn’t complain so much…

It’s just solid gameplay. Congrats on the feat!

Now if you wouldn’t mind explaining what exploits you did with the terrain to get there…

So you’ll fix them instead of the actual bugs? No, thanks.

Tokens exchange. I like some dungeons, but I HATE ARAH. Worst. Dungeon. Ever.
Give tokens for doing story-mode if there’s a person who didn’t done it before in the group. Finding people for story taking hours.
Less RNG in fractals, 2 weeks and still only one ring. 2 more daily and I’m done, it’s just not worth all this time.
Daily for dungeons, where you getting bonus for doing specific dungeon story/exp mode.
LFG system in the game.
Loot based on actual player’s level.
Custom groups for contacts. I’m sick with all those rage quits, random people and whatever. Guilds are useless in Guild Wars 2, so I’d like just make a “people running dungeons is fun with” group and “avoid those kittens” group. With pretty icons next to those people’s names.

No one promised you a free precursor. :P Now, people who didn’t get a chance at the chest have a reason to be upset.

Actually, they did say something about more entertaining way (not a “chance”) of getting precursor than just farming. So, one can consider this as a promise.
Then they broke this promise by giving people only one chance at one particular time. I.e. – nothing changed. Just mail everyone a precursor or make an event with reasonable drop rate. I see no reason why somebody who worked his behind for this digital shiny can’t get one while someone who don’t suddenly finds himself rich with no effort whatsoever.

By the way, I did 6 attempts to do this event, but I got only one chest. And there are the people, who got their chest from the event and now mail one too.
I’m waiting for another 5 chests.

At least they took the time to give you ONE chest. Be thankful. They didn’t have to do this.

I’ll be thankful when I get my free precursor. Too much RNG in this game to be thankful.

My chest was bugged, I din’t receive a precursor.

It’s about 7% drop rate I think.
So, no glitch. Sorry.

I thought this was a boss you can’t melee.

If you’re a necro/ele/engi and group have to choose between you and another warrior – the choice is obvious.

the problem with rough estimates is that if I gave a date, that’s /the/ date everyone will expect it. Then, if it’s not ready, people get upset with us. It’s just best to say “we’re on it!” and try to get it out as quick as we can, with as much awesome functionality as we can

Don’t you worry, everyone already upset with you in the first place.
I hope you at least providing gw2lfg.com with hosting or something.

Well except for the fact that he exploited he actually had a nice build i thought, but i guess that doesn’t mean much.

He’s not that bad and doing this to actually cure WvW from exploits.

Just try to use exploits in public and you’ll see how your own teammates are reporting on you, since no one wants to be “hacker server” (I saw how this killed GoM once).

We caught a CD ranger and his buddy inside the east keep lord room, without any of the gates or walls down.. caught him again on the SE tower trying to kill the lord, anyone recognize him enough to report him to that exploit email address or at least let his guild know what’s going on? I reported him but doubt that will do much..

Here’s your culprit, he made a video about soloing this tower so I went to see if somebody posted a screenshot or something. http://youtu.be/ueStp11KjiY

Poll: How Long Should Dungeon Runs Take?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Halo.8976

Halo.8976

People should be playing for fun, rewards should just be a bonus you accumulate as you play.

Dungeons in GW2 are tool of grind (explorable mode) and it’s not fun. I.e. = all not fun, repetitive, mindless tasks should be highly rewarded.

Simple. One hour of grinding must give you something between 75-100 silver at least.
Less than that is not worth your time except if you’re doing it for fun.

Dude on this video just got his guild to camp borderlands puzzle so he could create new characters, loot the puzzle, put badges in bank, delete the character, create a new one…

Ok. Then how about jumping puzzle in each dungeon, where you forced to kill a veteran mob? This sounds fair.

Nothing beyond the title says – just a tokens exchange where players can exchange their tokens of one dungeon (or WvW badges) for another.

Some people horrible at WvW so they forced farm jumping puzzle for legendary, some people can’t stand Arah. Why can’t we just help each other? Isn’t that Guild Wars 2 supposed to be about – having fun without grinding?

next time please explain your issue more detailed next time you create a thread, instead of just posting a screenshot. It might confuse some users.

oh and one should add chatserver <> gameserver

I might be wrong, but chat function is written almost in the core of the game. Some anet dev talked about this, this is why we have MAP chat in WvW and TEAM chat in PvE. The dev said they wanted to remove map chat from WvW, but they simply can’t (or it requires crazy amount of effort), so they decided to leave it as it is.
