Reduce Wxp gain in Edge of the Mists

in WvW

Posted by: MAGpie.7962

MAGpie.7962

I am never an advocate for nerfs and will not support a “Reduce Wxp” agenda.
Instead, you should be asking for a buff of Wxp in the main maps.

Another thing to consider, Wxp is such an insignificant rank in itself, after a player achieves rank 500~ you can easily max Applied Fortitude & Strength.
This leaves you with enough points to max a couple other Siege Masteries depending on your class and play style. Anything beyond that is over kill and does not matter much.

Eotm allows newer players to learn Wvw tactics and catch up to the WvW vet players. Think of it like a Summer school for the new.
Also just because the rewards suck in regular WvW does not mean we shld nerf Eotm, I can clearly argue that rewards in dungeons are way too high so please nerf.
That would not be a valid argument, instead you should ask for rewards based on effort.

THIS!

EotM is fun, so is WvW, WvW, is just not as rewarding. Instead of slapping yet another nerf on WvW as a whole, fix the problem.

The main fight needs more. More WxP, more ACHIEVABLE achievement, more balance, more… well, a lot.

Edge, its a fun distraction and I see no major flaws with it, if it compared and scaled correctly to the rest of WvW.

FiX WvW, don’t nerf it!

I’m really starting to question why I am paying them to ignore me and others in the WvW community.

Because you either have no alternative or you are not yet so thoroughly disgusted.

When you have reached either place… you won’t bother reading or posting to the forums and you will stop logging in entirely.

This is known.

Alternatives are coming. Kinda like winter, for Anet.

Month or so and I will be happily paying my money to someone who (at this point in time) seems to actually listen… and cares enough about its customers to <gasp> reply.

See, in business, you have customers.
To me at least, it would seem Anet has not made that leap yet. To me it seems, we are just gamers playing their game, not customer (no longer) enjoying the service (or lack thereof) they are offering.

Just a few more weeks, and there will be viable and promising alternatives. Lets see how well this kind of customer service flies when their is actual competition.

The higher up the tiers you go, the more important defending becomes. There’s a lot more manpower to take a structure and defend it to deny your opponents that PPT

“Important” and “Rewarding” is not the same thing.

Mm… I wonder what the ration between Power/Precision/x to any other combo would be in this thread…

Can anyone say; balance much?

Anyhow, defrule, I would like to see Healing Power, Toughness, Vitality as well.

Gotta be on a “good server” guys… Its the prerequisite.

I do not believe it is intended in the context you, and several others, are taking it. People really read way too much into simple wording…

You are probably right.

However, if these events were not seemingly (and yes, I say seemingly, because the lack of information and communication from Anet lends a lot of power to assumptions) set up for “good” servers, reading about how many “not so good” servers do have trouble with them, perhaps those types of wordings would not be ripped apart like this.

Did Living Story Hold Back Guild Wars 2?

Logged in today, glanced at the dailies, logged out and watched Doctor Who.

Nothing to look forward to. Nothing that excites me any more. Most certainly not the same repetitive zerging around LA that has no real meaning to me. Or the same dungeons I have done a thousand times, or the same fractals, or the same maps with the same heart quests and “dynamic” events over and over… (I had to reaffirm my understanding of dynamic while writing that.)

I would LOVE to enjoy this game again, but that is going to mean new areas, new races, and if not new classes, then new skills.

But as of right now, I am in full agreement with the OP, and bored with the game. I would love to not be bored by it any more because I like it… but it is what it is.

Although it is fun to see a server get together and beat down something big, making it a gate to complete goals, achievements, or move the story forward is a flaw. This removes personal ability from the equation and stress reliance. Although a noble thought, I think more than a few people can agree that relying on a large PUG (IE, your hosting server), could essentially be a hit and miss situation.

A 5 man-instance would have been a better solution. By all means have the larger events, as, they are fun, but do not attach as much (if any) goal, achievement, moving the story along, to it to reduce the overall reliance on eternal factors beyond your personal control. The krait-tower was a pretty solid design in that direction. It had the “zerg” aspects, but also the small instant based events. It was not perfect, as reaching the top levels without a large force was very hard, but it was doable.

My recommendation would be to avoid large group reliance type gates. Make them side evens, or separate events as a whole, such as the marionette or Teq. Rather consider the small-party focused instances for gates.

Really starting to gripe me how if your knight fail, you get… leme count… um, nothing. However, you can be part of one succeeding, and not even look to the other one, and get for 2. Yip.

Well though through that mechanic.

Scaling is not working. If only 50 people can damage, the scaling needs to cap out at 50 as well. Instead, everyone rushes to the knight that is still up, making killing it, virtually impossible. Rubbish.

Worst part is, that the 2 groups that make is impossible for group 3 to succeed, get rewards for their kills. My mind is blown by this…

I know there are separate threads about the content and story around the cinematic, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say well done on the mechanics.

Dono if it was the new tool you guys have been hinting at, but it looks good. The cinematic feel a whole lot more involved and there is a measure of depth that was lacking in the “on-stage” cinematic before.

Well done.

lol okay Gordon

It is true though. Greed is what makes us do more than what is necessary to survive.

Of course, it’s also getting off topic lol

I guess people like Einstein, Mother Teresa, and Gandhi did not get that memo…

Greed, is what caused he economic crises not too long ago, a crises most of the world is still struggling to come to terms with. But then, if you don’t care about having a job or don’t have a family to support, you would probably not really care about that either.

Greed does not drive ambition, success, imagination… any of it. Greed, drives greed. Selfish indulgence, short sighted gluttony… yeah, a lot can be said about greed, nothing, I am afraid, good.

And if you think flipping deflates the economy, then you failed at basic math as well.

I am of the opinion (and this is only an opinion), that the GW2 economy is unhealthy, and getting worst. The real-world disparity between the rich and the poor is starting to show. Has been for a long time now to be honest…

Though, it is a video game, and to be fair, what does it make you for have 100k gold in GW2? I am guessing someone who is… in between jobs, for a lack of better terms.

Anyone else notice no-one has map-completion stars any more? Or is that just me and my settings?

You guys aware of it, Michael? Is it part of the bug?

Edit: Ok, I am seeing them occasionally now that I am aware of it. However, a lot of people who I know for a fact has map-completion, is not showing the star? So… still, part of the problem?

Dev response: ‘Also – for anyone who has lost the ‘star’ from your nameplate you may be able to solve this by getting the new POIs in Lion’s Arch. Worked for me.’

See earlier in thread.

Awesome, thanks, I missed that

Question though, will this be addressed with the fix? AND, does this mean, ever time a new item appears on the map, all my toons with map-comp will loose their stars? O.O Hope not!
