Commanders in PVE

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

If a commander is shown out of WvW you should just ignore it and get over yourself. In WvW it has a real purpose. Outside of WvW, it’s just a symbol on the map. At least you know there’s somebody else in the map with you.

For the rest, ah yeh, get over yourself.

Listen to what you’re saying. It’s a symbol on our map that you admit isn’t worth paying attention to, but happens to be obscuring symbols on our map that are worth paying attention to.

And you don’t see the problem with this?

It’s not about “getting over ourselves”. It’s about having the tools to keep our UI clean and only display what we want displayed there.

If a person is in your way on the street, or blocking your view with their hat, do you say nasty things to them?
Most people, civilized, sane people, simply say “Excuse me” and/or “You’re blocking my view. Would you mind moving over a bit, please?”

I’m willing to bet that having Commander title set in PvE is, many times, because the player simply doesn’t see the need to bother taking it off, especially if they are primarily a PvP player. Perhaps a polite request will have a more positive result than insults and vitriol.

So yes; it certainly is about “getting over yourself”, and the misconception that everything anyone does that annoys or inconveniences you* is a purposeful act, designed just to kitten people off or measure their kitten.

*universal, not personal

I’ve never had an issue with Commander icons interfering with my game, but I can see where it could get annoying if they are bunched together at a WP.
A box to click in Options to not view Commander icons outside of WvW wouldn’t be a terrible idea.

Commanders in PVE

I have a commander title as i play WvWvW alot. But sometimes i need to make some gold because WvWvW is not cheap. So i jump in the PVE events and sometimes i have my commander title on. Not to show of but when we have guildies that not know where the event is. Its just simple for them to look for the commander title. Also for random people to.

Now the problem is. The moment i put my title on. You get messages from other players that i NEED to play WvWvW and need to get out of the PVE content or that i m just showing my e-kitten. This is can handle and i just simple ignore them but yesterday i had a complete guild telling me that i NEED to do WvWvW as people there need me (While on TeamSpeak chatting to other commanders that they don’t need me at all.). Still not a big problem. But all of the sudden doring the event i got kicked out of the game because my name was inappropriate (using that name the moment gw2 launched).
Well now its start to get a problem. Because everybody know coming up with a name is the hardest part of the game.

But my question to the community is. What do you feel when you see a commander in PVE?

I really don’t understand the hate.
Reporting your name because you’re using the title in PvE is a kitten move.
Seeing a commander in PvE has no effect on me whatsoever. They aren’t even a blip on my radar.
I don’t even use titles unless I find them personally amusing. It’s not like they have any effect on gameplay, or my enjoyment of the game.

Just IMO but given that toy making seems to me kind of a trinket making thing, I feel the Asura are the only race really dedicated enough to manufacturing other than the Charr. And well the Charr version might be more lethal and blow up in smoke more often.

You clearly haven’t played the Asura storyline yet. >^_~

So is killing things during winter event making things jolly for you and those little kids watching you kill the evil monsters?

Lesson learned- I don't buy gear with gems

I spent about $10 AUD back in October and used it to buy the mats I was missing to craft a full set of exotic Rampager’s Leather. I’ve enjoyed that set of armour for two months now, and given my lack of interest in Fractals I’m likely to continue enjoying it until they add Ascendeds as world drops or craftables, at the earliest.

For half the price of a gourmet pizza, I honestly have not the slightest regrets.

That’s an apples and oranges statement.

This plain grey rock I’m offering to sell you could potentially last 100 years! and is in fact usable as many things including a paper weight! clearly it’s worth a thousand dollars right?

Not really.
$ 20. ->Gourmet Pizza= a nice little luxury meal to enjoy at a reasonable price.
For half of that price, he was able to craft a nice set of gear that s/ he will get a lot of use out of in a game s/he enjoys playing.

All this person is saying is that they feel like they got their money’s worth.

The only thing you NEED Ascended gear for is higher level Fractal dungeons. Unless that particular bit of content, or simply having the best of everything, whether you actually need it or not, is your personal Holy Grail of Gaming; it’s really no more valuable than any other Exotic tier gear. Its value is subjective.
That said; if a luxury item (which is exactly what Ascended and Legendary gear is in the context of this game) is easy to obtain by most players, then it is no longer a luxury item, but common.

or make you own guild for the bank (account wide again).

About this, this would be perfect for me. But can I create a Guild while being in a Guild?

And does the Guild Bank come with creating the Guild or do you have to represent it a while to get points to unlock/buy the bank?

Thanks.

Yes, you can create a guild even if you are in a guild, but you would have to represent your own guild for a while to get the points necessary to open a guild bank.

Abyss dye!

Posted by: Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

It would of been nice to have auras or a hue around certain dyes to make them stand out as a poster stated between celestial and white dye theres no difference.

Personally I would sell it like other have said and use the profit to buy a comparable color if needed.

There is a difference. It may not look any different if you are male*, I can’t be sure.
Celestial Dye is a much brighter/truer white than White Dye. Midnight Ice is actually a very deep blue-black, and Abyss Dye is a much deeper black than Black Dye. The appearance of these colors is also dependent on the shader** of the item being dyed.
Abyss dye may look deep black on one item, but on another it may look like a dark grey. However, Abyss Dye will still be a deeper shade of grey-black on that same item, than Black Dye would, just as Celestial Dye will be a brighter white than White Dye. This is why these items are so costly, even if the drop rate may the same as any other rare dye with the same icon.

*Men can’t differentiate shades of color as well as most women. It has to do with the gene that codes color residing in the X chromosome (of which women have 2).

**Shader refers to the combination of rendering effects on an item

I use 30" NEC MultiSync PA301W running xr7970 and the color palette differences between the celestial and white, black and abyss are minimal at best, celestial having a little satin shine look and abyss a little more gray scaling nothing major especially when viewing them on anything under xd2560x1600 with near perfect saturation.

As to your point about the items base shader effecting its new shade I noticed no changes whether the item was originally shaded black, tan, yellow or green.

That’s not really what I was referring to. I mean like how the renderer will make metal look like metal, leather look like leather, and different types of cloth, skin, etc.
If you use dye remover on all dyeable parts of an item you can see what I mean. Even with everything having the same color, the different parts have different shaders that make them look different. Dye all of these parts the same color of dye, and each part will still look different because of the shader.
If I use Midnight Ice on all parts of my Exalted light armor set, some parts will look deep, deep black, but others will be very distinctly deep blue. I can only guess that Abyss Dye would have the same appearance, except that what would be blue from Midnight Ice, would then be a distinctly neutral deep grey of the same tone.

My point was to make an issue of dye effects and that they could use something tangible as an improvement something the differentiates them proportionately to their lesser palette cousins not which gender see’s in higher definition and my wife concurs with my findings, minimal at best.

I understand, and agree, that the differences are slight, but obviously, those differences are valuable to those willing to pay such high prices. I’m one of those people. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give advice based on subjective opinion, but posed as fact (and here I am not responding to you personally, but all those who have stated that certain colors are the same as others, when indeed they are not)

It really just depends on whether or not the OP cares about this difference in color.
If they do care, then telling them that Black is the same, or Midnight Ice is the same, is giving them inaccurate information to base their decision on.

Of course, we wouldn’t even need to be having this conversation if Anet would give us the ability to preview items in the TP ;P

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Do you NEED a legendary? Legendary was there as the ultimate goal skin that only a small dedicated number of players are supposed to have. If everyone got one it would be pointless.

^This^
The first thing “dedicated” players did was farm for Legendaries. Too many people got them too fast, and the Bot problem only compounded the issue by making some of the mats cheaper in the TP than they should have been.

IMO, the perfect solution to this entire mess would be to give Ascended gear the same stats as Legendary..which is the same stats as Exotics, and the only thing being different is the infusion slot. The infusion slot should only be good for countering the Agony condition, and otherwise, the gear is the same as any other Exotic, except for the slot and skins.

TAB targeting needs some rework please

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

I would just like to see the auto-targeting select targets like this; the closer to the center of your screen a target is the higher priority it is given when selecting a target.

Then again just give me action combat and let me aim precisely where I want to instead of this auto-targeting b.s. >=(

In my experience; if you have nothing targeted, you will simply strike out or aim at whatever the camera is pointing directly at. However; I agree that tab targeting is extremely frustrating, especially if you are surrounded, and selecting by click is difficult at best, and tab ends up targeting some, same-named, mob across the room, that doesn’t even know you were there until you hit it, and it decides to join the party and bring along all its buddies.

Dear Toymaker Tixx,

I’d like a jumping puzzle that isn’t a jumping puzzle. I’d like a reverse puzzle that is modeled after a giant sled-ride. One where I can climb up a mountain and ride a metal runner sled down a mountain, past obstacles and monsters and avalanches. Over jumps and hills and through slick ice chutes with falling icicles and break-away ices floes. Riding my shiney runner sled to the bottom for great prizes and record breaking times I can compare with my friends and guild-mates as competition.

Thank you

Ooh! that sounds like a BLAST! Do want! Do want!

I love having my pets, but; there are times when I would really like to have my pet stay stowed because they can get in the way. Jumping and climbing are the biggest issue for me. I can stow my pet while I jump up to the Vista, or in a puzzle, but if I take any damage whatsoever, it pops right back out. This goes along with my suggestion to give us an option to manually toggle combat mode. Just because I take damage, does not mean I’m in combat, and when I am in combat mode, there are things I cannot do, like jump properly, or map travel. Having to wait to go back into neutral is a real PITA. Please give us more control over our actions.

I haven’t noticed any dye drop “nerf”. I noticed it went up for a bit, but then they fixed it and put it back to normal. I’m still getting the same average rate of dye drops as I ever did before the drop went up.

I’ll tell you what I am seeing. I’m seeing the number of conspiracy theories go up as people feed off of one another’s BQ (*itch Quotient). I’m really glad the in game community isn’t as kitten bitter as the some of the forums are getting.

I'll be honest about the gear and gearchecks

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

I fail to see why this is an Anet issue, you can’t blame the company for kitten players. And you can’t say it’s ANet enforcing the attitude, you’re just projecting.

If there are so many people who are worried about being “left behind” (whatever that means) wouldn’t all the “left behind” people be such a high number as to not matter?

All of the “left behind” casuals (like myself) can find each other to complete the content, right? I mean, hardcore players are so few in this game (according to the forums) it’s completely bonkers to assume that if you don’t grind every day you’ll never find a group.

For those of us that came from GW1, Anet’s history of creating a game where gear was never more important than skill, because everyone had the same gear at max level. Look at the Mist PvP gear. All gear is the same.
The only thing that differentiates players is build, skill, and attitude (and maybe skins).

That’s the way a great many of us feel it should be.

When you have gear progression at max level, the game changes, and becomes one of “haves vs have-nots”, which ultimately leads to players being left out.

Add to that, the difficulty of the content, that is challenging and enjoyable, if geared properly for it, but frustrating, and overly difficult if the best gear you can get is greens or golds from the Karma merchants.

Even without the dungeon, I’m now finding that I need different gear sets and builds for different zones. With the new zone, I need to craft the new insignias, and I need to craft Exotics. Playing in Southsun is difficult enough in Exotics. I can only imagine what it must be like in Rares, or even Masters.

I got a love note from a moderator that a thread I had posted had been moved to the trash can and (paraphrasing) please read the rules before you post, etc.

That would be fine if I had actually authored the OP. However, all I did was respond to the OP with a snarky one-liner that broke no rules at all.

“Cancel Wintersday? I thought you meant ‘Cancel Whinersday’.”

See? No swears, no call-outs; just a mild zing at the OP.

Did I get an infraction? Was it mistakenly given for creating a post that I didn’t create, or was it for responding to a post that was not allowed to begin with?

You won’t need to grind through previous phases to be able to participate in phase 3 I believe – just hop on a ship in Lion’s Arch to reach the Karka-infested Island

A-nets true no grind way of thinking at work. Progression isnt the same thing as being locked out of content

I really don’t understand when people say this game doesn’t include a grind. Have you seen the Legendary weapon requirements? Is that somehow not considered a grind? I’m honestly curious and not trying to be a jerk here.

I think it’s because Legendaries are really not a necessity for playing the game. They are beautiful skins to work toward, but you can still play and have fun without them.
I think the same goes for the Ascended gear, unless you are really into the dungeon, it isn’t a requirement for playing and getting enjoyment from the game.

HOWEVER: I really think they would have done better just introduce new insignia recipes so that anti-agony stats can be crafted into current gear types, and infusion slots can be added to existing gear, via a FotM event, much like the armor infusion missions of GW1. Make the Ascended type gear a dungeon set to be earned via dungeon tokens, or Boss drops.

Krytan Explorer 174/175: What am I missing?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

Kitty La Boom Boom.4065

It is not POIs, Skills points, way points and vistas that count towards the 175 explorer for Kryta or any other region. It is the discovery of the areas on each map which show their names in white. These, added up across all the different maps total 175 and the link that the first replier put in their post gives you links to a list that you can check them all off.

You don’t even need to go to each specific area to check for completion, just open your world map from wherever you are and zoom in on each Kryta area until the white names reveal themselves and then check them against the list on the wiki, this will show you which one you are missing. Then you’ll know which map you need to visit and where to go to reveal the missing area.

Hope you find it.

Thanks for the info, I’ll do that

OMG could it be the Battle Isles? for some reason i just think of Embark Beach when i saw the pictures >_<

Lol you were so excited I had to go look it up

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Battle_Isles

And I’m reading and reading and I see “guild halls” …. !!!

The Battle Isles are in the Clashing Sea, though, not SoS. However! SoS is where the trade routes are. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Sea_of_Sorrows

The land must have shifted during the Cataclysm, since it also says that Orr is buried there.

I haven’t finished this first story yet, but assuming we defeat Zaitan:

I’m going to speculate that opening the SoS gives us access to the Zaishen order.
Since we are likely a ways off from true expansions, I’m guessing we will have to cooperate with the Zaishen to help re-open these trade routes by clearing out all sorts of undesirables and making alliances with potential friendlies. I’m also guessing that the undead will not be going anywhere, but maybe they won’t be as strong or organized since Zaitan may be gone, or dormant somewhere, licking his wounds.

If the risen were removed completely, the game would have to be completely altered for new players, and none of them would have the chance to experience the same content that we have.

I wonder if we will see the return of the Muursat.

At any rate, I hope we get to reopen the trade routes and maybe ports, here and there to Cantha and Elona. I miss Vabbi something awful. It was my favorite zone by far, in all of the GW1 series.

A costumes section of the bank would be nice to have. There;s one for Minis, why not one for Costumes? They could be considered collectables as well..much like the PvP locker. How about a “Costume Locker”, like the costume and hat NPC we had in GW1?

I congratulate those that were able to complete it. That puzzle was definitely a challenge. Alas; it was too much of a challenge to my patience, even with the FOV beta format (which is FANTASTIC! btw..no more camera bouncies or geometry blockage). I’m one of those that has difficulty with the stationary JPs, this moving one was a bit much for me. I hope future event puzzles will have a stationary option. I might have stuck this one out if not for the racing format.

I’m quoting from this because it’s the first post I’ve seen with these questions. I just started to see a massive blur of “kitten, kitten, kitten” vs “quit yer kitten” posts while trying to find A-Net responses, but this stood out.

1. Will you or will you not be buying black lion trading company or random number generation materials again?
Yes.

2. Did you buy them in the past?
Yes.

3. If you would not buy trading post material/gamble, would you support direct to buy weapon skins and what general price do you find acceptable from a business standpoint both as a customer and realizing that they must make money as a business?
If you mean buying the skins with gems; yes. I’d also purchase armor skins with gems, and I do wish we could skin our armors with Town Clothing skins. I miss my Wintersday and Mad King party dresses from GW1

4. Do you believe that future events will also be handled with random number generation to make profit based on limited time item acquisition?
Probably, I don’t see why not. The items that you can get are trade-able, so I really don’t see why people are complaining. If there’s one you want, just buy it from the Trading Post. It might be expensive, but it’s cosmetic. People keep complaining about a lack of end-game content, but the second they’re expected to work toward something, they flip out. ( QFT from the original quoted response)

5. If you believe that the future events will be handled in the same manner, does this realization negatively effect your trust of Arena Net in regard to handling micro transactions for permanent content?
Not in the slightest. People forget that companies that make video games are BUSINESSES (organizations that run on profit through a product of some sort). For any other game of this caliber, you’d be paying a monthly fee. In GW2, anything purchasable through the cash shop is either cosmetic or has very little impact on gameplay. Not only that, you can buy gems with gold. I have no idea where the whining is coming from.
On the other hand, a static price for gems would probably work a bit better than the current system, since gem prices are currently through the roof. But it’s far from a big complaint of mine.
(Also QFT)

6. Did you obtain a skin or whatever it is you were looking to get from the black lion trading chests? From the Mad King Chests?
Yes. I was very lucky, and though I spent more than I wanted, and probably more than I should have, I did get 2 weapon skins (one from a BLC, and one from a MKC) that I was then able to sell via the TP for enough gold to kit out my LV 80 main. I still have 5 gold left, and considering that making 1 gold can be a struggle sometimes (I have a terrible game shopping addiction where I like to spoil my toons with nice skins and gear ;P), I am very pleased. Now that she’s kitted out, I can use her to farm and support all my alts XD. I look forward to the next event.

You should be able to get your L11 toon to level 15 within the day. Just buy some food off the TP for the extra XP boost and start doing Hearts and DEs. It really won’t take long.

Your Charr's Personality

My Charr Elementalist is “Kitty La Boom Boom”. She is Blood Legion, and tends to get into a lot of scraps. I think it stems from having daddy issues. Her sire was a traitorous shaman, and she’s had to fight for her honor every day of her life, especially in light of the fact that, despite her disgust at her sire and the path he chose, she has a fascination with fire.

Her favorite hobby is hunting down Flame legion members, and shouting: “So you like to play with fire, little boy?” just before she blows them up.

She is pretty ruthless. She chose the “Finish Him” option in one of the first personal story quests. She felt that the other option might return to bite her in the behind if left to fester in disgrace.

Racial Skill: Hidden Pistol

I really wish we could get our skill points reset. I regret having wasted so many on that skill.

You know you keep getting them after 80 right? Might as well unlock everything.

I know, but at lower levels, there are far more useful skills that I’d rather have available now. It’s just a matter of convenience, not having to go hunt down skill challenges to make up the points.
