Omnomberry pie: long overdue change

Warriors can’t survive now? Really?

I believe that is an overstatement and maybe a certain niche of warriors (full zerker warriors) will have a harder time surviving but certainly not all warriors as a whole.

Yes, yes we will. Warrior sustain is horrible. Getting hit by random cleave from melee mobs will be a lot worse.

I guess warriors have to all go rifle now, Melee will be horrible without the sustain they had before.

Or they could….you know….wear some toughness gear. Guess us Guardians will just have to carry warriors more than ever. (Note, Sarcasm meters should be blowing up now.)

Yes.

I got my Pow/Pre/Crit Dmg focus. Then got the fractal skin. Made a fractal skin with the stats.

Then I obtained The Anomaly and reskinned it again.

Abusive party kick

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

I guess I’m just lucky. I’ve never been in a group that kicked during a fractal unless the person was like lvl 1 with no AR in a level 38 fractal.

I’ve had groups that I have left before we started (Guardian who was trying to tell the others how things were going to go. Annoying as all kitten and not even in the dungeon yet…)

But I’ve never kicked or been kicked during a dungeon.

But yeah. The 2 person required for kick is…..not well thought out.

I’m not familiar with bradley games “Guides”. Are they better than Prima?

Every strategy guide I have ever seen was written by 3rd party people with little input from the developers. Full of misinformation. Though I do admit. Most of the ones I have seen were Prima “official” guides. Prima is terrible. Always has been.

It’s a rather prevalent misconception. People get more drops in a group because of the tagging so they equate that with magic find.

Then they tell 2 people and they tell 2 people…

oh yeah?

“In addition parties have a hidden bonus to their drop rates so u end up finding even more items than if you killed the same number of enemies while soloing”

Lol, what is that from? A “Strategy Guide”?

Some servers simply do not have a large population of WvW players during specific time frames. I am sure FA complains about being outnumbered for various parts of the day as well. It is completely understandable as few if any like to be run over time and time again by sheer numbers. I suggest treating the posts as venting frustration rather than whining.

Sure are plenty of them out there when we’re winning.

Some of us play wvwvw at hours different than your own =(

Achievement points as GW2 gearscore/rating...

Kumu Honua.2751

I did a fractal. Level 28. Noticed the warrior had 900 achievement points.

I thought it was odd.

Sure enough. Multiple Multiple deaths. Lost like he had never done a fractal before. And Instagibbed by agony.

Sure enough, was first time in the dungeon.

Achievement points aren’t the end all be all, but they can indeed be a measure of your abilities to a point.

If they separated PvE and PvP completely, balancing would be a whole lot better. They would be able to focus on one side at a time without worrying about messing up the other side.

Because we all know they did a bang up job with that in GW 1.

You don’t need to take over the map.

You just need to take key locations.

Hit that red keep. Take it away from them. Get your POI/Vistas. You are a commander, so command.

Why would I have a lot of money as a PvE’r? I am unsure how that correlates. I also am an officer in my guild. I am not going to switch servers to be in a server that is red to get the points I need. Something like that shouldn’t be necessary to obtain those points.

It’s not necessary. Get your guild involved in wvwvw. Lead them to the locations you need and take them over.

If you can’t, or your guild can’t, then you need to try to convince the zerg to do it. Easiest way? Spend 100G on a commander book and head towards the locations you need.

There are a lot of options to get what you are looking for. The problem is that it takes effort.

Just a note.

Playerbase declining?

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Every week someone else posts this. Easiest answer: Look at gw2lfg.com. That’s just the people looking for dungeon groups. Add in the people playing wvw, spvp, and general PvE.

26 zones, 5 cities, 9 dungeons. 3 wvwvw maps. I have no idea how sPvp works but there’s a ton of people just in the starting area. Multiply that by the 51 servers (27 EU, 24 NA.)

That’s a lot of peoples. Just because you don’t see many people doesn’t mean they aren’t out there.

RE: Announcement about Bag/Character Slots

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

I bought a bank slot with the sale because I thought I had one more to get.

But I had all slots apparently.

Support was quick to refund, but yeah, the gem shop should say “HEY! WAIT JUST A GOSH DARN MINUTE! You already have all the slots you can use. What kind of shenanigans are you trying to pull here? HUH HUH!?!”

But yeah, if you bought them, put a support request for a refund. They were quite willing to help in that regard.

And the system if you buy via gem shop is that you get a game mail with a consumable that you double click to get a bank slot. Account bound.

So you open a chest, get a key, so you open a chest, get a key, so you open a chest…

Communication is key in games such as this. Consoles lack good options for this. Last thing I want in an MMO is group members who can’t speak when asked something.

Already solved: http://www.amazon.com/Play-Wireless-Controller-Keypad-Playstation-3/dp/B004GGZ8PG

Just because it exists doesn’t mean that people will use it. It would have to actually come with the console for the average person to have one.

Remove rangers, necros, and engies

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kumu Honua.2751

Kumu Honua.2751

Out of all of the 3 listed “Remove” classes. Rangers are the only ones that make me cringe when they join a fractal pug.

The class is set up to be so totally anti-party friendly that it puts bad mechanics into many players hands. It teaches them to be bad.

Why? Because the pet tanks at lower levels. They don’t learn to dodge nearly as much as others are forced to. Because their longbow gets bonuses when at longer and longer range. So they avoid enemies even when they should be in melee range. (This is most notable when you are in the ascalon fractal and the ranger has all the NPC around them and when you try to drag the enemies to the npc ball, they jump back and run away….)

Couple that with how bad pets are in boss fights let alone agony situations and their DPS suffers. They have minimal AE skills and are mostly single target. vs almost all the other classes who are able to mostly hit everything around them.

The class is just set up terribly for group play. Especially in places like dungeons.

Remove them? No. Cry a little inside when your group consists solely of them? Sure. Go ahead.

@OP
some players are stupid what can you do
Yesterday I saw in LA “LF1M fractals no guard”
well what can I say…

I’ve been in a group with 4 guardians and a mesmer. No one took any damage, but it was rather slow on the DPS.

I can understand ‘No X’ requests on that basis alone for every single class out there.

what the NEED to do is put a cap on what precursors can be SOLD for. people can’t put a 600g price-tag on something, if they aren’t allowed to.

I don’t have my legendary yet. But this is a terrible idea.

It’s only terrible in the eyes of someone that stands to lose something….how many do you have on the TP????

I already said. I don’t have my legendary. I Only have 70g to my name since head start. It’s STILL a terrible idea to limit players arbitrarily.

I’ve already said I don’t like the current precursor method, but your idea is TERRIBLE.
