I’m kind of disappointed in the new WP only if out of combat thing but will give it a fair shake.
I don’t mind taking people of lesser experience through dungeons including from my guild. It helps boost moral, gives us something competitive to do as a group other then a boring heart completion. It pay’s off and is more exciting then being bored to death farming. Now i question if people and some of my good friends will even get into groups. I really don’t want to see people being sorted and rejected by class. Kicked from groups for dying or not having all exotics. I understand you may want to make it more challenging but people wont be able to learn and gain proper experience if they cant get in at all. I really feel like this might close the door on a lot of people in the middle or on the way up learning.
Maybe next time only include this for dungeons over lvl 60-70 or something. A lot of people are going to be turned away and rejected now and sadly I would rather play with them then jerks who just want exp players who curse, yell and kick each other (yes, Arah pugs can be sooo much fun). So now i’m going to be in a position of telling friends no I wont go with them or going and failing/ being frustrated to get past a single boss. I really don’t want to see how it was in GW1 when they demand to see your title or proof that you are experienced with ghastly’s. I would love to see an enjoyable scale of progress of dungeons from the easier to the very challenging.
Really as far as Dungeons go i thought they were fine. Yeah those far away wp could be annoying but what got to me were the people skipping stuff more so. Hopping walls, stepping though them or just plain running past half the enemies. The joy of pugs . . .Oh and that CM . . . . Should be a bit higher recommended to enter or eased up a bit. I’d rather go fight Lupi then CM. Guess I haven’t gotten the hang of that one yet.
I know you have put a lot of hard work into this and I have loved the game this far. I’m sure that will continue but I just don’t want to see all the jerks come out to play and people learning to play have doors closed on them. I do enjoy the dungeon reward system with vendors and this is all 1000% better then GW1. For that I thank ya.
Thanks and keep up the great work !
My guild talks about this alll day long it would seem.
Some are trying to do farming runs just to compare over and over again and most if not all still agree that it is either broken or turned way way way down from what it was back in Oct.
Then my question is. Does Anet consider it broken or consider it adjusted?
We have also seen the madness with dye prices. They floated around 6 silver then dropped to 2 silver. Anet adjusted them back around wintersday and now they hit 20 silver before the weekend. I know people are flipping them but jeeze.
First, thanks for an amazing game!
I know you are all working hard for us over there and much appreciated. I understand that it is a forever a work in progress. With that in mind I hope you do return to address this at some point, hopefully sooner then later. I could careless about black lion keys from a vendor and just enjoy playing. I do like the idea of the keys but also the harvesting eqip that will give me some inventory back as well as some really nice weapons.
I too have deeply invested in these commendations and would like something fun back. I do keep hoping it will be soon since you can still buy the packaging and use the recipe.
Thanks again for your hard work!
:)
oooOOOooo that kitten caps lock did it again. . . .
I’m cant stand that key and don’t want people thinking I’m yelling, especially during a big battle when i see something going on i need to comment about. We all have been here.
So I want to remap the key to anything else or physically pull it off my keyboard. I currently use it for targeting but can live with out it there.
My question is, if i remap the key will it look like I’m cheating or botting with a macro or something? I certainly don’t want that to happen and would rather stay on the side of caution and leave it alone.
But this caps lock thing is killing me . . . .
Any Dev and or gamer advice out there?
Cheers
Can a Dev at least give us a one word answer as to if this will ever be addressed and added in the near future?
It’s highly frustrating when we think you don’t care to respond to this topic.
I have a Female Norn Warrior with a greatsword.
There is a default key to sheath your weapon. I don’t remember the default as i changed my key. You’ll find it under options
It is kind of nice to be able to draw your sword as well as put it away especially while running.
I don’t think there was anything wrong with the clocktower event except 1 thing.
You should be able to go at it alone (maybe in an instance) and have faster respawning so when I do it 150 times i don’t spend countless hours waiting in the lobby. It was measurably harder in a group to see where you were jumping and when to jump. I felt pretty bad for the asurans on that one.
My Top Ideas, Concerns and Questions
First cheers for a great game.
1. I think that when you mouse over a window it should come to the front layer. This could be automatic or have a toggle on off feature in options. The reason is simple. It can be a pain to swap out items from the Hero panel to and from inventory and as well as transmutations etc.
2. Titles are a big issue for me. Because I cant see mine or the 100% world completion star next to my name I think that it’s very unfulfilling and a very serious major let down. They are so tucked away to myself and even others that they have become completely uninteresting to get. It was titles that made the first guild wars really interesting and pushed people to play and enjoy their accomplishments. Please don’t give titles a back seat anymore.
3. When you made the game you stated that no race has an advantage over another, speed, etc. I disagree. Camera views in jumping puzzles create a larger challenge and make a disadvantage for Norns over Humans and especially Asurans. I cant speak for Char who are rather large also but I would assume might have some issues. If this is to difficult to fix, the rewards for those races should have a very low but slight increase. . . or something. I know you are working on correcting or working on camera views. I hope you keep this in mind and maybe add 1st person view.
4. WvW is no fun when you keep walking into zergs that is invisible due to rendering. Sadfaces everywhere. [Ctrl][Alt][Delete] Other wise that’s for this feature to game play.
5. The crafting window should be resizeable. The names of the items exceed the length of the window making it more difficult to quickly tell (master) from (rare), (exotic) etc. Maybe moving the rarity of the item (insignia, etc) to the front of the description would be a quick option. The window has a bottom corner size adjuster but doesn’t work.
6. Legendary Precursors have reached the realm of unfairness and should be craftable. I don’t care if they cost 50g, 100g, 1/2 million karma. . They should be craftable in some fashion. The current market is being controlled and in my opinion abused over this.
7. Black Lion Chests need a serious buff or should be sell-able to the merchant. I’ve opened a share of them. Based on the current market value of gems to gold why would I by a key from the gemstore? You can only lose out. I sell the chests on the trading post for about 5 copper to get my inventory spot back since it has more value.
8. In the last week I have reported around 100 bots with a support ticket and screen shots. I was easily finding about 50 an hour in high level areas. Thanks for taking care of those i reported on my server. I think a lot of players are becoming more and more upset with how things on this issue are going. They use in game report systems and see no results on the same bots who are being reported over and over again for weeks.
Over a month ago you made a statement addressing this issue and since then it became far worse. I have seen a dip in the last week but they are still going in lower lvl areas now. Many players are upset that you appear to be changing difficulties in high lvl areas and lowering drop rates to people who are taking the time to actually play the game and save up for seeming impossible legendary weapons. You have to expect us to grind to get these weapons. You cant expect us to have to deal with it becoming harder and harder because of bots that aren’t being removed. This is extremely disheartening to game play. When bots are reported over and over in game again and nothing happens most people think you don’t care. I gave up and started opening support tickets but why should i spend an hour putting together a support ticket with 20 screenshots attached to it to report 50 people? That’s not me playing and enjoying the game at all. It’s me being frustrated and getting closer to logging out.
Maybe you would like to provide us a more then general update on this situation since it’s been over a month?
Ultimately in game Anet Mangers are a excellent defense at least while you get a system based on data working.
8. Last but def not least .. . . .. . We absolutely NEED a Quaggan Mini pet !!! (an uncorrupted one =D ) Please make it common! Cooooo, Quaggan loves you!
