Those situations arent comparable.

But they are. An overall 8% change in the game balance is a lot.

Id take a lot of different rune sets over a 1% crit rate increase and a bit of extra power any day.

And your point is?

Thats about all your getting with the new equips

Oh nooooo, I wont be able to progress to the deepest parts of the optional dungeon without the new armor which is only useful for this dungeon…. This game sucks omg you are tearing me apart Anet.

Its like all logic goes out the window when people come onto these forums.

l2read. The stats will work everywhere.

Oh yeah, I forgot how much of a difference that extra 3 precision will make. Oh and cant forget that MF buff.

Power 68 vs 63 = 7.94% increase in Power

Precision 68 vs 63 = 7.94% increase in Precision

Magic Find 10 vs 7 = 42.86% increase in Magic Find

So lets say a person get all pieces, that’s a nearly 8% increase in combat stats and a nearly 43% increase in magic find.

Not so little when you use percentages.

8% is not much at all considering all of the special effects some runes have that would make using infusions not worth it. And who cares about MF anyways, unless youre farming Orr all day I find it to be a useless stat.

People’s whole builds are about increasing their potential less than 1%.

Who cares? Obviously a lot of people care. To say 8% is nothing is denial. An 8% raise at work? Who cares! I mean, sure, I earn 100k a year, what is another 8 thousand dollars.

House loan is 1.2 million dollars at 3.2% interest. Lets just make it 11.2% interest! Another 8% is nothing…

This coming from a person that could not even add and subtract correctly.

Those situations arent comparable. And I didnt know my math skills were being tested, its 6:30am

People like to complain on these forums.

It was precursors
Then the black lion chests
Then the one time event for halloween
Then back to precursors
And now we have this fiasco.

And after everyone realizes its not as serious as theyre making it out to be they’ll find something else, probably precursors again lol.

At this rate ANet wont have the money to produce another GW.

At what rate? Do you have access to Anet’s financial accounts or something?
Just because vocal minority whines doesn’t mean peole are doing somekind of mass exodus.

Its the majority that dont like whats going on. The vocal minority are the handful of players that rushed to max then dont have enough brains to actually find things to do but instead complain and whine constantly on the forum’s for the last 2 months.

Lol, you mean like youre doing now?

How am i doing that now? I actually like how the game is currently. I have no issue finding things to do. But the change this new patch threatens will lead to gear progression which will destroy the game for the majority of the community making them do this said content to stay viable. Which is the worse thing they could do.

Just go and check your other posts and see if thats not whining. You have no idea what effect this will have on the game, only Anet know how it will be implemented completely. Jeez, first precursors, now this. I guess everybody has to complain about something.

Yes, it cost me all of 5 gold to make the armor. Im still using rare daggers because I dont really care for any of the skins currently out. I dont see how its so big of a deal, its the exact same as replacing rares or masterworks.

The game was released with vision of no gear progression, everything was ABOUT SKINS. Now they changed it so what the kitten you expect from peope to do?

The basic-fine-masterwork-rare-exotic scale of items would like to have a word. GW2 has always had gear progression.

But exotic was the max. Like in Guild wars 1. When you achieved exotic, you didnt have to upgrade your gear ever again. It was still the best gear ingame even after 7 years.

That was the point ..

And they decided to add an interesting mechanic for a new dungeon they added. I dont see a problem here. Maybe you should go play CoD or Halo if you want static gameplay.

Everyone know to fix a broken sequel is to pretend it never happened.

Tell that to Lionhead Studios, after the epic fail that was Fable II, they decided to ruin things further by releasing Fable III. I still play Fable TLC and I regard it as one of the best game of its time.

So… Jrunyon and Valtameri, are you two saying then that this is a good idea?

Like, of ALL the ideas in the entire world, this is a really… just good idea.

So what if it was kitten in every other game that tried it… right? Whiners got no sense! amirite?

Okay, so lets say, on the off chance that this completely fails.. Just what do you lose? Seriously, answer that. What is wrong with getting better gear to complete an optional dungeon? There is plenty of other stuff being added if you are like me and dont enjoy running dungeons. Stop blowing things out of proportion, its not that serious.

Anyways I’m seeing a lot of tears so I’m heading out, stop complaining about treadmills it will do NO good, they are coming deal with it, and maybe send a thank you to anet for ensuring the longevity of your game.

“Here’s a bunch of facts I made up. Okay, bye guys!”

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Everything I have stated is factual, Anet is not a democracy it’s a business, if they are making a descision this game impacting best believe it’s to make money, they clearly realize this will make people angry but overall it’s going to get them more customers, google anything I’ve said if you need facts.

The sooner you realize this the sooner you will stop making these threads.

Nothing you said is factual.

All this talk about treadmill being the only way to make MMO’s sounds like gen Y kittenry to me.

Except that barely anything any of the complainers have said has been factual either. Just speculation blown way out of proportion.

I seriously wanna know what people are doing in pve right now? Your not running dungeons for gear? your not doing dungeons or orr for karma to get gear? C’mon you gotta be grinding something at this point.

Yeah i’m running dungeons and did not need a specific armor set for running them. I just need 4 people and skills. This games was being marketed as a skill-based game. This mecanics favours ITEMS over skills, FOR NOW. Until i’m being contradicted (and I would be happy if proofs will make me stand corrected, mind you(, for the tidbit of infos they prepared, i’ll continue “whining” (as you say). It’s not that GRINDING that bothers me. IT’s the “grindind or you won’t be able to do that” that bothers me.

Why dont you wait for the update to actually release and try it out for proof? No, I guess that would be the sensible and mature thing to do right? So far all I see is baseless arguments running on a mere notion that somehow you wont be able to compete at all in this dungeon without this new armor, which I guarantee is not the case.

99% of the game is still free of gear progression. Only this one endgame dungeon requires increasing amounts of “Agony” resistance, this is the one area where they’re building in progression, so people that would otherwise stop playing have a place to run 20 times per day.
It’s kinda like a Diablo minigame in the game. If you don’t like it, just skip it.

Besides, I’m sure that the next endgame dungeon will have… “Corruption” or something, that makes your Ascended gear full of Infusion completely useless, so you can start over again slotting “Purity” upgrades. (and at the same time, not having Infusion will not set you back in this new dungeon).

Wrong. Ascended is a gear type you can use anywhere. Read the post on gw2.com. You can use it anywhere in the game. Meaning they will make all existing content easier & easier each time they release a new progression.

Except that nothing uses this new Agony mechanic outside of the dungeon, making the whole infusing thing pointless.

First off none of us know how this will turn out but I for one am very excited about the Ascended gear and Im excited for the new dungeon. I barely log into the game anymore because there is nothing for me to do thats interesting anymore. What are people afraid of? because they have to get new gear? what a joke, its just gear whats the problem with that? This is an MMO, makes me wonder what people are actually doing in the game because I could barely even log in anymore because I need a goal to keep playing. Now don’t get me wrong I might not like this but I’m willing to try anything new thats added and to me getting gear is not a big deal. Im used to it already and I’m sure that majority of MMO players are used to it. Its a natural thing in MMO’s. Anet, good move on this one, I just hope the new gear looks nice:)

the fact is this game was not intended to be a “get new gear” if not just from the look of it. This game has been HEAVILY sold as a Refreshing game, in which you would have to work hard just for LOOKING kitten, not for being kitten. I don’t know what kind of slope this new itemization process is going to add, the fact is that this kind of slope SHOULD not exist at all, not even in a form of a symbolic 1% of increase, becuase they bragged HARD of creating a refreshing product. They EVEN put a blog post on “GW2 Unique End Game” and I don’t recall they were talking about “getting new tier of equip there” .. so this is clearly a contradiction and an eye wink for that kind of playerbase that DO NOT BELONG to a game like this.

I still don’t see the problem? Theres some gear that I want right now but I don’t even wanna bother doing the work because grinding the same de’s in orr is not fun at all just to get a karma cosmetic. Now if I gotta get some type of gear or stats to enter a new dungeon then atleast there’s a good reason to put my time in.

that would not be a problem if the game wasn’t marketed as something different. I’m just mad at the contradiction they’re having with their manifesto. I follow this game since the first announcement and was a huge fan of the previous game too. I dislike this kind of itemization because do not belong to the a.net style. They should invest in new interesting, dungeons, mechanics, way to do thins.. that’s how we feel, simpe enough.

Uh, how about the NEW INTERESTING DUNGEON MECHANIC that youre whining about? Thats all the armor is for if you didnt know that, its a way for people who are looking for a greater challenge.

as far as I’ve read, will only impact your progression IN THE ACTUAL DUNGEON.

Then what is the point of adding this as a new content? More than half of the player base dont do dungeons

Well then, they can enjoy ALL THE OTHER STUFF THE UPDATE HAS TO OFFER.
No one said you had to run dungeons, and in fact, Ive only done AC once, a couple of CM runs and one CoF run. Ill probably try out the new one a few times but Im not fussed, I just dont see the need for all this complaining about free content. Its ridiculous.

Nope, youre killing this game for yourself. I guess you dont realize that the new gear, as far as I’ve read, will only impact your progression IN THE ACTUAL DUNGEON.

Please quote the sentence where they state those new stats will be dungeon-specific and that you can’t use the items in, let’s say, WvW.

I can’t seem to find it.

Aside from the +5 precision or whatever, youre not getting any benefits from using an ascended piece with an infusion, in fact it nerfs you since you cant apply runes to these ascended pieces.

Confusion over "free try out" coming up

Whats offered on the 15th is a free update, not an expansion. Anyone that you invite is able to access every bit of content the game has to offer as far as I believe.

Anet will announce actual expansions later as the game progresses and these will be unlocked when you buy that content. There are many free updates coming in the mean time I am sure though.

The devs said they’re really there for the fractal dungeon, which is a whole new mode of play. I really can’t see why everyone on these forums is freaking out about it, to be honest.

Chances are, Ascended gear can be used in WvW like any other piece of PvE gear. Of course, they could very well make it so it’s not – we do not know yet.

Uh oh, better watch out for that warrior with the extra 5 precision, I heard he can one shot people with just one auto-attack!

Cosmetic System has GOT to Change

Jrunyon.3012

You might want to check out my post about this. I put up a very detailed solution on how to solve this problem.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Improvements-for-Collectors/first#post499627

The problem doesn’t need a detailed and complex solution. It needs a simple solution.

The best solution is one where we have 2 slots for each armor location. A stat slot and an appearance slot. Its simple and provides the maximum flexibility. However, Anet wanted to make money off of transmutation stones, so the best solution is a victim of monetization of the game. I’m not against Anet making money, or the gem store in general, but this is a case of the store effecting game design negatively.

Yeah, I like that idea. It reminds me of when I played Perfect World and could just swap out fashion whenever I wanted. It made me spend a whole lot more on the in game shop thats for sure.

YEAAAAH! LETS DISCOURAGE ALL NEW IDEAS! NO NEW CONTENT SHOULD BE ADDED EVER!

WoW player detected.

Adding numbers and stats is not adding content.
We have nothing against the new dungeon itself (maybe something about the new agony condition) nor against new maps, new puzzles, new enemies, new bosses, new game mechanics, new cool looking armor sets, etc. Cause thats content and everyone loves new and more things to do.

Adding more stats to a diferent coloured piece of equipment is not content.

Ive never played WoW in my life actually, besides a few hours on a private server.

So do you really think that a couple of added points to precision and vitality is really that big of a deal? From what im reading, the armor sets arent even going to be useful outside of the dungeons because the infusions are made to progress further in the dungeon. I dont see a problem here, maybe you can enlighten me about the problems you see in the patch without assuming my gaming background.

The problem is because you played on a private server. As it is, WoW gradually added a few stats for every new dungeon you were doing. Eventually you kept getting piled on with more and more stats, causing a very linear and grindy method of progression. It’s especially unfun while doing it on multiple characters.

It’s sort of the TL;DR version of why I don’t like it, but I’ve got like 3 discussions going on at once.

Way to completely avoid the whole point of my post and go on about WoW.

Tell me, what is so game breaking about 10 precision added to an item.

it’s not the stats that lock you out of the content it’s the agony resistance, if you don’t have enough of that some bosses will kill you and thus you can’t beat them unless you farm a new set of items

and of cours it’s just a ring and a back item this time, but next time ther will be more and then there are weapons to come
that’s how you boil a frog, put it in cold water and heat it slowly because it would jump out of hot water imediately

So you’ve played the dungeon already and know exactly how all the mechanics work? I see.

Does Tier 3 culture armour seems right to you?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Jrunyon.3012

Jrunyon.3012

i would like to hear an official statement concerning the pricing decision for tier 3 culturals. the human heavy armor is indeed a pretty set but as so many posters have already stated, the price does not reflect the quality of the item.

again, it would be nice to receive some type of official response explain why those choices were made.

Id also like an explanation of why developers seem to put the most effort into greatswords and put other weapons to the side too but I dont ever expect that to happen. They chose the price for a reason and thats that. They dont owe you an explanation for anything that they create.

In my view, legendaries arent worth it.

Ok, so you might have seen my previous post about legendary weapons being a poorly implemented idea… And now Ive just realised something that is gonna make me not bother with them at all…

Legendaries only do the same damage as exotics?… SERIOUSLY!?
Your gonna make us do all that work just for a skin!? Epic fail ANET, epic fail…
The only reason that I had for considering making one was because I thought “well, at least it will have higher damage and better stats…”
But nope, they are just animated skins… I dont even like the skins. Well, of the greatswords anyway.
I cant believe that the only benefit of all that hard work is aesthetic… And even then the aesthetics suck.

This truly is not the game for you. Did you even research the game at all and realize that thats one of their main selling points? That people with rare weapons dont get an advantage over others? Its not a fail, its a genius idea that is working out quite nicely in game. Go play Perfect World or something if you want to show how much money you can throw at the screen to get the Uber 1337 Sword of Faceroll.

And btw, theyre not interested in your drawings at all.

Does Tier 3 culture armour seems right to you?

I question the cost only because there’s nothing really remarkable about the skins.

My human T3 underkitty disagrees with you

Weapon Skill Set Tiers?

This is not only way too much work to think about doing after launch but it also goes against Anets decision to do away with the ton of skills they had in GW1, which allows people to get good with skills rather than adhering to the FOTM skillset.

T3 armor is the only armor set that requires even a bit of work to get. If you dont want to spend the money on it or think its not worth it, dont buy it. If you do want it, start working towards it instead of complaining.

And, stats mean nothing. You’re meant to transmute the armor into something with the stats you like.

Commander Status in WvWvW: A new way to attain it

Honestly, I dont know about any other server but on mine we have a certain number of commanders that are recognized as actual leaders and I have at times donated to a good leader of a group if he hasnt got his commander icon yet. Of course there people who just bought it for kicks but mostly these people are shunned in the WvW community and instead walk around in PVE showing off. All we need in my opinion is a way to shut them off in PVE, but Im not fussed about it either way.

Legendary weapons = poorly implemented idea.

(and others) suggested the challenge being the quests/puzzles and not the farming. Theres already enough reasons to farm in this game, you shouldnt be forced to farm at endgame to get your legendaries. A quest chain would solve this while also adding some much desired endgame content. Think about it, you’ve just finished your story quest, you’ve got to 80, feeling like theres not much left to do but farm… But then… Oh wait! there is another awesome and engaging epic quest chain still to do!

And what happens when the 6 month event chain ends and BAM! Everyone suddenly has a legendary and they arent special at all anymore. When you offer a legendary as endgame content, everyone will go for it and they will get it eventually. I oppose this happening and as such am quite fine with the grindy RNG concept we have now, which serves to keep the amount of them low because the less dedicated people wont bother.

Btw, this is coming from someone who doesnt have a legendary or a precursor.

Can We Expect Armor Clipping Fixes On Nov. 15?

fixing game breaking bugs take priority such as class imbalance, skill/trait bugs personal story bugs, all of these come 1st than cosmetic fluff stuff like clipping issues.
so NO it might take a long time before we see a fix for clipping issues, not that that stops us from dreaming and hoping to see it fixed and cloaks finally introduced

I understand small stuff being overlooked, but when my daggers are not even visible on my character, thats a problem. The fact that it only does it on some armor means that it should be an easy fix since it shouldnt even be there in the first place. Somewhere in the code some developer decided “lets make it so that when they wear this armor, their daggers will move INSIDE THEIR CHARACTER! HAH! That will teach them not to use something other than greatswords!”

they created a huge thread for us to report clipping issues. it’s many pages long. it seemed like they really cared about documenting armor clipping issues, which wasnt the case for GW1. because they took the initiative to get the thread rolling, im wondering if it’s going to be in an upcoming patch soon.

it can be argued that the dozens of serious armor clipping issues are just as important as improving pve, or adding new content. serious armor clipping seriously breaks immersion.

Except that thread has had hundreds of replys for a long time now and not one thing has been done about it.

Oh please no. I hope this isn’t another knee jerk reaction. GW1 survived for a long kitten time with mostly RNG for the rare drops (Crystalline swords anyone?). We don’t need to make legendaries easier to get unless you want EVERYONE to have one. I don’t want to see everyone with a legendary 2 months from now.

And then they’ll complain that there’s nothing else to work towards..
