Guild Wars 2

Colin, it’s great that you are considering change to MF, it was really a bad idea to even put in into game and now there is no easy fix to this.

I agree with OP that place where MF is real problem are dungeons. In my opinion best way to deal with MF in dungeons, would be to disable MF there and give players buff with berserker stats (or some way to choose preferred combination of stats) which would scale based on MF value on gear. This way you wouldn’t have to deal with refunds and MF gear wouldn’t be useless.

In open world keep it as it is.

DPS meter in GW2 is nonsense, it would promote bad play, not good one as some here try to prove – I can really see how ppl would be resing downed ppl if there would be dps meters …

Its pretty easy to see who is burden to group – it’s those who spend half of the fight in downed state and don’t need dps meter to see who it is.

Broken for me means unplayable and this game is very far from it . Just because you don’t like how things work, doesn’t mean game is broken. It’s much easier to find the game that you will like than ’ fix’ one you don’t . The single fact you are here complaining means it’s not that bad as you make it, otherwise you wouldn’t bother.

lol show me a screenshot where you actually have 100-150 people even visible at once.
Really, do it right now, I’d love to see this because it would never, ever happen before the culling changes.

This is just the front end of the zerg. I’m not sure how many are in this group, but there are a lot more around the corner that were in view shortly after this was taken. My screen is cluttered enough with all the red names, I don’t need white titles adding even more to that.

A few hours before this, the other team had a zerg that made this one look small.

Turning off titles would make exactly zero difference in cluttering your screen in zerg on your picture. As was already said, option to turn off titles would make titles completly pointless. Seriously, you dont even see real names in wsw so actualy that red text is even more pointless than those titles …

Great change. Finaly no overflows . This hysteria about buying ectos will stabilize soon – there is still enough bosses with guaranted rares to do.

Imo only acceptable solution is kicking guests to overflow, when home server ppl arive. Honestly i dont care about stupid world bosses – waiting x minutes doing nothing just to get realisticly 1-3 rares from chest is crap way to make money.

But what really kitten is me off is, when guild bounty send me to some dragon spawning zone, it splits my guild during doing bounty and half of the ppl dont get anything becouse they were on the overflow – thats just bad design that screws ppl on home server. Better to screw guests than ppl playing on their home server.

This complaint is just ridiculous. Seriously … Imagine in real life some item price is listed in USD and has discount 20% . Now u live in country with other currency with no fixed conversion rate. What will happen when u will try to buy that item in different days, will you get same discount every day ? Ofc NO !, Your real discount will fluctuate depending on actual conversion rate, BUT that doesnt mean that item isnt still discounted 20% in its listed currency.

I just remembered hearing about using EADG over WASD

There’s more room to “weave” buttons between your movement keys there…

Thoughts?

not EADG, but ESDF (it’s just moved WASD to the right) that way u get keys like AQW free for skills and if ur used to WASD u will get used to this without problem .

Phira.3970:

With CoF p1 farm (people making 50-100g in a day), currency is being a bit inflated thats why the price is going up.

Yea farming cof p1 is good farm, but 50-100g, due DR you are making this up .

It’s pretty obvious that op has no idea how balancing in mmo’s works. The thing that Anet will do, is that they will identify mesmers timewarp and portal to be core problem of elite cof p1 speed runs, so they will do :
1) nerf timewarp into oblivion
2) give portal to warriors to give those poor souls some group utility.

For all these people complaining about how legendaries are so easy to get, and that anyone with some extra cash can just magically make one… YOU obviously are ignorant of the actual cost. I understand that there are some for sale. Who cares though? It took someone A LOT of time to make that. If they dont like the stats and want to sell it they should have that right.

1. Large amounts of skill points (can’t be bought)
2. Large amount of karma for shards if you dont want to grind fractals (can’t be bought)
3. Multiple crafting disciplines (can’t technically be bought)
4. Large amount of WvW tokens (can’t be bought)
5. Exploration token (can’t be bought)
6. 500 dungeon tokens (can’t be bought)

The rest CAN be purchased, but each of the above requires significant dedication in time. Basically, the designers came up with a way that allows you to get a SKIN that proves you have “mastered” most aspects of the game (excluding tpvp). I agree with this 100%.

HAHA only person completly ignorant is you. Becouse u dont have to do anything from what you listed, you can simply buy 1 finished from TP … Thats it, you dont have to play game outside geting to lvl 80 and playing TP and BOOM! you can have legendary weapon .

The sad truth (and most disapointing thing on gw2 for me) is that most importan skill to obtain legendary is playing on trading post. By simply playing the game outside TP you will get nowhere near it.

You know whats funny, u dont even have to ask anet and u know its a bug and not intended feature – i mean generating ectos as u need with cost cheaper than outcome and you think this is intended feature ? Seriously ? Using bug to your advantage – repeatedly, is an exploit by its basic definition, so bans are only natural result. And pls guys dont pretend its something new to you, in all mmos i have ever played, you would be banned for things like this.

I think we can agree that the problem are dungeons. In open world I dont care what ppl wear. In dungeons selfish ppl can be basicly caried by others and get better loot for it. Thats just stupid.

Precisely. So it’s pretty clear that the problem lies with specific players who make greedy choices which do not help the group, rather than with the gear that they choose.

Problem is that they encourage players to wear subpar gear .

Snoring Sleepwalker.9073:

Grizledorf.5290:

there’s a website for gw2 players who are LFG

www.gw2lfg.com

When players are expected to use a third party solution to a problem, it means that the problem has gotten so bad that players have stopped waiting for the developers to fix it.

This. Just existence of that site proves that situation is bad and makes whole argument how LFG would ruin game absurd – it already exists …

Nox Aeterna.2965:

Really this subject is tiresome, and yet i feel the need to come here and post again and again , so Anet does not think this is a one side idea.

DONT remove the MF , it is the players choice.

Honestly , people that does not want to pay for a MF set or dont want to wear it, i dont even waste my time on hearing. Get the set , get the bonus. It is a choice. Dont like it? That is ok also, just forget the bonus , that is all that is gonna happen.

For the problem IN dungeons , i agree that maybe Anet could find a solution , it is true players should be able to pick if they want MF or not , but dungeons require a bit more planing to work and thus people should be focused on the task of finishing it.

Like always this is the simple opinion of me and others tons of people that actually like MF.

I think we can agree that the problem are dungeons. In open world I dont care what ppl wear. In dungeons selfish ppl can be basicly caried by others and get better loot for it. Thats just stupid.

Shilian.5873:

Guys you forgot something essential:

The gap between exo/ascen is MINIMAL, so not a MUST for WvW or anything, just for the new dungeon, and guess what? you will get the gear while progressing trough it.

Too much fap guys, no reason to go mad.

I dont consider 8% difference minimal , its quite enough to be difference in small scale fight in WsW.

I would seriously like to know what happened in ANet. Scrapping one of their core selling points of the game after 3 months ? Seriously …

If anyone there thinks this is good move, they are imo totaly wrong. Sacrifacing loyal players who are satisfied with game as it is, for players who might come is dumb.

One should be able to learn history lessons, this realy reminds me star wars galaxies nge fiasco. Yes this is not sub game but, if this change will go through, i (and im pretty sure i will not be alone) will definetly vote with my wallet.

Fayte.1803:

No one person speaks for everyone. When this topic hits 1000 pages then you can say a good chunk of players are against this.

I havent seen single thread with amount of pages coming close to this where ppl were asking for gear progression and yet they claim they did it becouse ppl were asking for it.

Nar.8327:

Greep.6394:

Most of the people pissed off at this DON"T play other MMOs PRECISELY for the reason you stated.

This.

If I wanted a gear treadmill, I’d go back to Aion.

And it might actualy even be better choice, at least when i finaly got my miragent it lasted more than gw2 exotics …

tetsuo.7318:

I still fail to see whats wrong with having RPG mechanics like item progression (which the game allready has by the way) in an RPG if you guys dont like RPGs why not play MOBAs or FPS or almost any other genre which diesnt have RPG mechanics?

RPG = Role Playing Game, where do you see gear progression there ? I bet you actualy never roleplayed …

Now all this game needs is trinity and raiding. Would be perfect.

/sarcasm off

As fan of gw1, i feel betrayed … RIP ANet i used to love.

Guardian’s blocking is fine, it’s just weird that best for it is focus and not shield. I use mace/focus as my solo defensive weapon set and it works great – against most veteran mobs i dont even have to dodge.
