Is RNG Fun?

Yes it is but its the type of fun that make you feel as if you got something that not too many others have. Humans put value on how rare something is take for example rare gems that have no use other then they look nice. A lot of things simply look nice but if we see them all the time they do not mean that much to a human but if you do not see it often it becomes more rewarding to see it.

Its a human thing and ppl forget it the sec they have what they want or want something they cant get.

This is nonsense – skins are just cosmetic and carry no game “cred” whatsover – simply how lucky one is. It caters only to the player’s personal aesthetics and nothing else. For example I do not consider the legendary greatswords to be good looking and do not fit the motifs of any of my characters at all, hence I will make no effort to acquire them. If I was lucky enough to get the precursors for them, I would put them up on the TP so that I may choose a precursor that I desire instead.

By locking certain skins such as Teq weapons behind non tradeable account bound RNG, you are simply restricting players from completing their characters’ “look”. Same thing goes for limited time Gem store skins – players may want a particular skin at a particular time. As time goes by, they may forget they want the skin in the first place.

But hey , after waiting for 1.5 hrs you eventually catch a DC.

Working as intended.

DCed and then kicked by TTS party members (not even given that slim chance to reconnect to the server) because I was expendable. Nice people.

Commanders are ok though. They taxi ppl and organize.

My other forum topic on this was deleted and I was given an infraction if anyone is curious.

Fantastic orchestral music to "Pokemon"

………can I get some context here? Maybe it’s because I just woke up, but I’m not exactly connecting your topic to your post.

In the loading page, Anet linked the Youtube video featuring Season 2’s soundtrack performed by a German professional orchestra. Although I am not musically trained, I can appreciate the music nonetheless.

My point quite simply is that good orchestral music is accompanying the script of a children’s cartoon – an extremely shallow childish modern day one at that.

I didn’t realize the script and story of S2 was released… do you have a link?

Well going by S1 … unless S2 has been radically (ie extremely) revamped, I have a dreaded feeling its going to be more of the same children’s show writing.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not critiquing the writer but the people deciding on the direction of this game. I am not a GW1 veteran, but I picked it and played it quite a bit in order to get the legacy skins and what a difference in the tone and maturity of the lore and storylines of an *older" games.

So your full of it? Sry you know nothing of what going to happen with season 2 and to prejudge it on this level of negatively is out right wrong.

Also what wrong with children’s show writing some of the best shows and movies where made for kids they far out do any thing made for adults. Just because its more maturity blood every where cursing left and right and sex etc.. dose not make a story good in fact it can get in the way of a story because these are more means of cover ups for a bad story.

That only applies to Disney classics where adult themes of ethics and morality are incorporated into those cartoons. Apart from those cartoons, very few cartoons have great storylines or drama unless they are already based on a book.

It is very hard not to pre judge Season 2 of the Living Story when no one has indicated that there is anything radically different to the story telling. I do not expect the aforementioned Disney classic standard but at least somewhere approaching GW1 lore. I can completely understand if it is a commercial decision to have the writing to appeal to all ages but I think even kids nowadays can tell what is a terrible story and what is not. Then again we are talking about generation “Pokemon” and younger.

I haven’t even mentioned gameplay yet which is a totally different topic.

Nice I was thinking of doing the same thing and a face off montage as well since my 8 main characters are paired off in polar opposites – for example my sylvari male guardian vs sylvari female necro. My charr male mesmer vs my human female ranger. Asura Male warrior vs asura female thief. Norn male ele vs norn female engi.

Not sure it would turn out as good as a comic panel though. I would also want to find suitable backdrops for a VS series as well as a team montage.

I know I shouldnt bring up other games for comparison but I am really looking forward to Crawl – a Steam greenlit game featured on Yogscast. It hits all the buttons for me – retro gaming without platforming and a much better game design in terms of progression and innovation than all of the mini games of GW2 including SAB put together.

GW2 has this platform of good graphics, character customization and combat system while incorporating UI improvements and bug fixes over two years and doesnt quite know what to do with it. The poster above mentioned Maple Story – the “plot” of GW2 sure seems to written for that audience in mind. Season 2 may be game changing but I dont hold out much hope for it.

I played ESO in the beta and got to level 20. I even played PvP a little. The problem being there is so much space in the game that has nothing – a mount is needed for just to get from one content area to another (which are small). The best mount in game is 46000 gold – the least is 14000 gold and when you only get 1 gold drop from mobs, well you can see where that is going. Bots and gold spammers were rampant even in Beta. ESO is a poor ES game and a mediocre MMO.

Back OT, GW1 did not need a sub and it did fine. In fact, many people still play it. The only problem with games like GW1 and GW2 is the box price doesn’t drop much since that is one of the major sources of revenue. Sub based games can drop the box price significantly because the major source of revenue is the SUB not the box price.

As other have pointed out, most sub games now have MT. WoW, ESO does, etc. The issue being, are they any better than a game, like GW2, which is Box cost only? If the quality is not there, how can the company justify being sub-based?

Again more propaganda, you get G primarily from questing (of which there are many) and not loot and you cant expect good loot at lvl 20. Its like expecting good loot at lvl 30 in GW2. You dont need mounts to get from one place to another – you have a sprint button and WPs. What constitutes a good ES experience? “Foorushdah” or the console command for God mode or the modding? Don’t think you can incorporate the above mentioned into a MMO.

You are crying about gold spammers in ESO – you don’t really play a lot of GW2 do you? And earning gold was even more terrible at launch for GW2 – true story.

As someone who played a ton of the beta, and even tried out more than enough of the post-release via a friend’s account, I can say that you are wrong (IMO) about two things.

ESO may not be a megaflop (although I feel it will be, time will tell), but it is incredibly terrible and boring.
The words tedious, clunky, buggy, and bots come to mind.

Oh, the insane number of bots in the game is incredible. I have never seen so many bots in any game prior to ESO. Ever.
Of course, it’s all a matter of perception.

You cannot be complaining about botting and bugs if you are playing GW2 and played it during launch. As if thousands of COF P1 runs isnt boring and tedious, farming for ascended crafting etc. And “Living story” is a farce for the most part. Lore in this game is an afterthought; GW1 fans and RPGers feel like they are shafted.

From what I hear, the beta was not too good, but things substantially improved after release – I didnt play the beta so it would not affected my experience.

This feature patch intrigues me because of the much appreciated wardrobe system and trait reset on the fly feature. But basically when I am done with altering and tinkering with my builds of all my professions and getting my gear for those builds, I am going to just do the barest of minimums + dailies just to slowly grind for Incinerator.

However if they are going to do another feature patch and do so regularly in order to get people to constantly get new gear for new builds, I would just quit altogether.

"Fear Not This Night"Chinese version

Posted by: Khal Drogo.9631

Khal Drogo.9631

No offense to the singer, but I imagine it would be more powerful in the hands of a seasoned performer – the Chinese equivalent of Asja?

I feel quite differently. I love the way this singer (anyone know her name?) performs it. It sounds natural and she has a lovely voice. Being soft and slightly lower in tone, it feels more ‘motherly’ to me. This is supposedly a some the Avatar of the Pale Tree sings and for me this voice and the manner of the performance fits.

Don’t get me wrong, its not the tone or style of the singer I am commenting on. I am no expert in music or singing, but the performer is not powerful enough to deliver the lines. If Anet managed to get a pro to sing the song, the delivery would be greatly different.

Thank goodness I’m not a people person then. It’s why I have all my chat boxes unticked, so I don’t have to hear the constant homophobic, racist, sexist, and snide comments I hear on a daily basis. #antisocialftw

I do it to avoid the anti right wing, anti capitalism, anti rationalism, political correctness run amok BS.

No wait thats the Western media in real life. Come to think of it, do Anet’s servers run on a environmentally responsible server company using solar energy? Maybe a company rep can confirm this with us. Certain quarters may demand this accountability from a successful gaming company.

If Im gonna play a new game after Gw2, I will start lookin for subbing games. Im not sure I would sub gw2 if the choice comes up in the future, as Im not a big fan of some of the changes that has been done lately. But who knows.
I didnt buy gw2 because it was a “free” game, I bought it because I found it interesting and I wanted to try it. A sub back then wouldnt made any difference.

i really like gw2 but i think i am going for sub based games with quality content and support not sub based games which are sucking money out of players as much as they can and then they will go F2P like the latest addition to mmo world you can guess which game.
i am playing games to be entertained rather than wasting time and mess around in games and say it is free at least. for people who are actually from NA/EU they know 15 euro/dollar a month is nothing and ppl pay way more than that for things they like.
but unfortunately the lie of F2P goes well with lot of poor gamers. and well i think they are in majority hence you get low quality content and support instead free to play.

The thing is ‘A fool and his money are often parted’. You don’t have to buy anything from the CS to play – PERIOD. It is all ‘luxury’ items and none are really needed to play the game. You can play this game without anything from the CS and do just as well or even better than people who buy stuff in the CS.

Understand it – they are ‘frivolous items’ not really needed to play.

ESO is a classic examples of a sub game. They have gated so much of the content – One race you pay extra for. Want the fastest mount in game, it will cost you, etc. That is more of a cash grab than GW2 ever will be. The same can be said for the other sub games that went F2P recently.

What is it that Gobbels said – a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. ESO’s single mount is NOT the fastest and can be bought with in game gold and the bonus race is nothing special – ie human. The racial bonuses are the weakest in the game unless u want a sword and board tank.

I mentioned this before: at launch GW2 gated Mistfire wolf which I recently got a few weeks ago thanks to gems discount and Anet’s eventual decision to put it on the gemshop. If you think its weak, I should post the DPS it does on Teq’s vulnerable phase on my guardian especially when its buffed with 25 stacks of might on its special attack.

ESO is not a megaflop or terrible or even boring as some pundits have mentioned. GW2 gets an edge over ESO is because of the art style and the graphics and dare I mention the TP.

Um, that’s the exact same basic review Angry Joe gave it. It’s got some stuff, but not worth the sub. With an average rating. 68 from PC Gamer is effective 5 out of 10 really, for how they rate things.

So you’re griping about his reviews then displaying a review that complete agrees with him and yet saying he doesn’t know his stuff?

Exactly like the 2000+ word review / article by PC Gamer. Anyway if anyone is interested my rating for GW2 after thousands of hours of gameplay is a solid 7.5 for all content to date. I am not an experienced MMOer as I never played WoW but I have played a lot of games.

ESO?

Allow me to leave this here. This is Angry Joes finally finished review (months of playing it).

In short ESO is utter garbage. I suggest watching his entire review.

I recommend not watching Angry Joe for reviews if you are over 21. You can go check Metacritic for legit reviewers from reputable reviewers and from legit players who played the game and not bandwagoning trolls who give games 0 ratings.

Nothing wrong with Angry Joe’s review. He plays the games quite a bit before he puts out a review so he goes through the nuts and bolts of the game thoroughly.

Tom’s Hardware also panned ESO as did PC Gamer.

Metacritic – meh. I trust the above sites over metacritic (which is written by players).

Really why would you give a buggy as hell game a 10 rating which was Skyrim btw? And by panned is this what you mean – “A few well-designed systems struggle to overcome lifeless presentation. Capable, but ultimately hard to recommend. 68 PC Gamer” – hardly “utter garbage”. You can go read the full review on PC Gamer but then again why bother when a Youtuber can play dress up and act like a kitten? Only Youtuber I trust with game reviews is Totalbiscuit.

However I dont agree with PC Gamer’s assessment on the voice acting – how is it “lamentable”? As for the rest of the article, I am not going to rebut it in a GW2 forum.

Off topic anyway.

"Fear Not This Night"Chinese version

Khal Drogo.9631

They still got a lot of the lyrics wrong, but nice interpretation nonetheless.

I don’t know what exactly you find wrong about the lyrics. But I would like to say that, especially, when it comes to song and poetry the most correct translation and lyrics would be one that chooses words and phrases that match the cadence and tempos of the music the best. You aren’t going to be able to match all of literal meaning, dialect, rhythm, and cadence perfectly a song translation, but since it is a song, you better pay the most attention to the musical components.

Actually the Chinese lyrics are masterfully written imho. The language used is very elegant and is more sophisticated than most pop songs nowadays. Then again I rarely listen to Mandopop now anyway.

As for the lyrics matching the cadence and the rhythm of the music, I have to say its very good. No offense to the singer, but I imagine it would be more powerful in the hands of a seasoned performer – the Chinese equivalent of Asja?

Dragonite became a grind

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Khal Drogo.9631

Khal Drogo.9631

But, I think the OP does not understand the term “grind”…..that means representative over and over (which is what you were doing when you could hit the Temple events via guesting) and what we have now just takes longer (World Bosses) and you can’t “predict” the higher Dragonite events. Not saying it’s not a problem, but I don’t see where “grind” has in any way increased since MS being put in place.

I’ve played a few korean mmorpg’s, so i know what “grind” is. I didnt mind checking temple times, and doing them over and over again. It didnt feel like a grind.

Now, i’m checking world boss timers, and earning 1/3 or half the dragonite i used to get. I’ve played Eotm, but i’m on whiteside ridge, and there arent always zergs walking around like in busy servers. I guess wvw is fun if u have a busy server.

I’m still trying to find a way to earn dragonite, Eotm aint an option on my server, since they dont take keeps that much…
So ye, getting 20 dragonite in an hour in wvw, feels like a grind

All of that means that I have come to the conclusion that in order to find consistent challenge in a “modern” MMO, one has to play PvP.

Might as well play Street Fighter or any other fighting game. Why would I bother with a MMORPG?

Twitch reflexes are great if you are in the US with a good internet connection with little lag. I would even settle for reliable connectivity to GW2 servers, given frequent DCs on Anet’s servers end.

What you guys are not considering is that he bound Sunrise and Eternity before he made and sold his Eternity. He then used the proceeds to buy and bind Juggernaut leaving him with 1700g in pocket as well as a nice Legendary. Now here’s the kicker. By binding Sunrise and Eternity, he unlocked their FOUR associated skins, which can be applied to some Ascended Greatswords. This is, effectively, the equivilant of getting THREE Legendaries with a bonus 1700g in his pocket. Pure genius if you ask me…

You mean Sunrise and Twilight? If I am not mistaken the TS does not have access to Eternity. But still nice 3 legendary skins + 1750G for the price of 2.

If only I was willing to grind the G and mats required for the 2 GS tho and to be frank I dont like the skins and they are pretty common by now.

The death of harvest node mapping

Dude, this is exactly how the game is supposed to be. Nodes are supposed to be random, if you’ve ever played a game like Runescape you would know how ultimately damaging it is to have the same locations for all the nodes.

The more random the better. I enjoy searching maps for nodes and killing enemies along the way.

Where is your red tag to show you’re a dev? I mean since you obviously know all about what’s intended in the game you must be a dev, right? I don’t think so.

This change is horrible for those of us who liked to harvest multiple nodes on multiple characters. It was (and to a point still is) a way to make money that in most respects is much better than playing the trading post as when we’re out gathering we’re out in the zone helping others, completing events and actually playing the game unlike the trading post flippers.

It’s still playing the game with the goal of lining your character’s pockets. It’s what many people do and it’s what creates inflation making the game less enjoyable by those whose focus of play is on many things other than gold/hour. It does so by making things in the game less affordable by those same people. It forces them to follow suit just for affordability sake.

It’s us farmers keeping supply high and prices low so that non farmers don’t have to pay as much for the mats they need and non farmers get to keep more money in their pockets.

Mining and logging doesn’t create gold and doesn’t cause inflation.

Lol as if Anet couldnt just release millions of whatever mat they wanted to decrease in price into the TP or vice versa buy up whatever mat. Anyway, gold per hour is fun for me – its about optimization / problem solving in a game that has very little content updated. And no I dont try to manupliate the TP (don’t have the capital to do so anyway)

On the bright side, all those rich nodes are no longer once a day.

Anyone time how often they respawn?

Don’t think there are any runes worth extracting. So be careful when u apply expensive runes on to ascended armor.

As for exo unsalvagable armor, you could always mystic forge them.

So no new content in the near future?

Haven’t read anything from Anet on the official website that would indicate otherwise. Not even a future timeline

Does Anet have any plans to let us reset our world ability points like they do for the trait system?

Ele/Warr/Guard/Mes

Since quickness was nerfed, I think mesmer has been replaced by eles in min max party.

Here is my summary of the classes:

Min max party: Warrior Ele
PUG friendly safe classes: Guardian Mesmer Necro
Must really know how class mechanics work in order not to hinder party class:
Ranger Engi

And Ranger used to be the worst in PvE imho, but now with all the buffs on Ranger pets as well as 2h sigils, necro is now the weakest class in terms of dps. Stacks of vulnerability arent going to cut it as other classes can also inflict those stacks. The prior buffs to necro are just not catching up

P.S My fun summary of the classes and their possible builds:
“Holy trinity” + 1 in GW2:
Tank – Necro, Warrior, Guardian, Mesmer (believe it or not)
Healer – Guardian, Ele, Engi
DPS – Warrior, Thief, Ele, Engi
Control – Ranger, Ele, Thief, Engi

GW2 special mechanic: Reflect – Mesmer, Guardian, Engi

Seems Everyone doesnt like thier class

Necro is the worst class in PVE right now.

No DPS, condi damage sucks

you don’t know necro at all.
We have some of the best dps/tankiness of all the classes.
Can also have weakness on enemy 100% of the time. (which is very useful and bringing down a boss quicker).

Agreed, condition necro has little place in pve, but powernecro handles excellently

Yes I do, you are probably a noob. Weakness is not a big deal when u can down a boss quickly with DPS. Power necro is just too weak compared to every other class, even rangers.

Mystic Forge now even worse

Zommoros must be heavily drunk with all that wine, or working with Evon to scam you even more out of the things you throw to his forge. Get higher level gear give them low level gear they don’t need!

Perfect business!

What the mystic forge is guaranteed result versions of his recipes, not more annoying randomness.

For example: A stack of 50 of a masterwork rune + 3 other materials-> Rare version of that rune. Stack of 25 of that rare rune + 3 other materials -> Exotic version of that rune.

Randomness is never a good source of anything. There has to be always a guaranteed method.

The sheer ingratitude of peeps. Evon has just given us free armor repair.

Is Ascended Gear worth it? (vs exotic)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Khal Drogo.9631

PVE is a faceroll with organized groups regardless of gear. Dont really even need to dodge if you have a guardian in some dungeons. I wonder how many people are good enough to solo content…

Because of the nerf to ascended berserker in the form of ferocity, it may not be as worth it to get ascended armor anymore as the crit damage is no longer +1% if I am not mistaken or perhaps in combination with the rest of the gear, ascended may tip towards the 1% extra damage.

My daily reset for dungeon chests and crafting ascended has bugged for two days straight now. Seems like I will be playing some other game.
