The new holographic car and the two WvW cats also need whitelisting.

Samarog nerf

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

Honestly, the invuln Rigom seemed like a bug which simply got fixed.

I think it is more than just a bug fix. You are probably talking about the bug which caused Rigorm to stay invulnerable until he comes out of the bubble and does that heavy dmg AOE once, which was usually caused by electro wyvern CC pets.
But there seems to be more than this. Once Rigorm is in the bauble he looses health so fast after the Jotun becomes immune to damage again, that he can barely move anymore. Taking entangle or extra pushes is totally worthless since Rigorm will never have the chance to leave the bauble once you have him inside.

Fortified towers on EBG or BL bugged?

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

This is not intended. We’ll look into it.

Ok thanks

towers are captured much faster on EBG too in Borderlands it takes “hours” compared to what we have in EBG ( I mean the open circle ticking after lord dead the difference is extrem)

Are you sure it is not just the amount of people in the cap circle? More people = faster circle ticks I believe

Why did you nerf Samarog in the last release? The Rigorm phase is a total joke now and all coordination it required is basically removed, for both nm and cm. This seems wrong to me. Hopefully it is just a bug?

Now that WvW and PvP get legendary armor also the name and description of the achievement should be changed. Otherwise people will soon demand that their purely grind based armor counts towards this achievement/title, making it pretty pointless as a proof of raid experience…

4 hr 2do 1 boss in a raid is unacceptable

It is a learn to play issue, even average groups clear all 4 wins in 4 hours. Good groups in about 2 hours. So there is no reason for you to need 4h for one boss.

Thawn Elixir bug(s)

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

Today I wanted to brew a thawn elixir for the aurora collections, but to my dismay a bug happened. It consumed my materials but did not give me the elixir. Now I have to wait until daily reset, do that heart again and also refarm the other materials…
Looking at the wiki I figured it is this bug: "If nearby enemies interrupt you as you are brewing the elixir, the components will be consumed without successfully brewing the elixir.
This includes damage taken from the hot spring itself. "

How is such a bug not fixed after 7 months of this story episode existing? I am outraged.

Can you make them stop dieing instantly to some of the attacks, such as the laser attack in 100 cm? It is really annoying to play ranger if your pet dies 24/7 and you have to micromanage it to prevent it.

Achievement "precision blade"

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

Both the 50 kill and the 5min achievement in that mission are a total joke. Each wave seems to do exponentially do more damage, ignore stealth and some attacks ignore blocks also.
All this for a measily 1+2 AP. At the current difficulty it would be easily worth 20 AP.

They need to give a hard look at this.

There’s probably a reason why such long term goals and rewards are not rewarded with alot of AP.

In my initial post I did not include an AP suggestion because that is secondary to me, but if someone brings it up I will comment on it.

It is nowhere near as long term goal than some other silly stuff like 250k WvW kills or 10k wins in pvp.

750 LI / 13 = 58 weeks of weekly raid clearing, lets be generous, maybe 4 hours of raid on average in worst case. You are looking at 232 hours of raiding for 3 sets of legendary armor. Good guild or static groups probably need way less.

And generally harder achievements should give more AP, otherwise what is the point of the AP reward system? I can see some special achievements like killing an Anet dev rewarding 0 or close to nothing, but it is not the case here.

Probably true, but it would not hurt to give a fair amount of AP. For people like me who didnt play during LS1 it is almost impossible to get the 30k+ AP rewards.

Completing 1 set
Advent of Ascension
Completing 2 sets
Advent of Heroism
Completing 3 sets
Advent of Divinity

4 achievements
3 collections: 1 piece = 1AP, 3 piece = 2AP, 6 piece is 4AP (so 7 AP, 21 for 3 sets)
fourth achievement is just “complete Light, Medium and Heavy collection”
worth 25AP and a title with every step

Your title suggestions sound good, but should they not give at least 100 AP given the ascended armor already giving 100 AP + title + ascended armor piece of choice? More effort should probably give at least an equal reward.

More raid bosses may lower the time gate, but the time you need to spend raiding each week will go up in return.

Yes, if you want to obtain something faster, you need to spend more time each day on it. Nothing special about it – almost everything in this game works that way.

Indeed, but currently the 13 bosses can be handled by the time budget of a casual, it will get harder as more bosses are added. Not that I expect any new raid before expansion 2.

But for the casual that finds a raid boss that’s just really hard for them do, more bosses means they get more % of the available LI each day.

Considering there are titles for things that require no skill at all, it’s not reasonable to say that if there is a title for getting all of the HoT legendary armor, than the core legendary weapons and the HoT legendary weapons each get their own title.

Why not tho they take just as much dedication to make/farm for as the armor tho and if someone want to buy said title with their credit card ( talking about the one for all core legendaries) how is that any diffrent then the guy who buy raid kills to get their armors?

Not sure what you’re getting at here. What point are you trying to make? Because you seem to think I’m against weapons getting titles based on what impression I get from the post. I’m not. So maybe I’m misunderstanding what point you’re trying to make?

Well maybe I read it wrong but saying it’s not reasonable to say that if there is a title for getting all of the HoT legendary armor, than the core legendary weapons and the HoT legendary weapons each get their own title.

Sure sound like you say legendary armor should get a title but weapons should not.

Oops. Meant to say if it IS reasonable for HoT legendary armor to get a title, then the core weapons and HoT weapons are reasonable candidates for getting titles.

yes it is reasonable to request titles for other legendaries, but this is the fractals, dungeons and raids subforum, so the wrong place to ask for that, since those have nothing to do with those instances.

Alpine borderland towers bugged

Alpine borderland towers seem to be bugged. The doors and gates have the same health as keep doors and walls, while on desert boderlands and eternal battlegrounds the towers have about 34% less healths. Major oversight.

Outnumbered buff does not lift

I found out what is wrong with the new outmanned buff. It only applies to new people on the map after it disappeared for at least one tick from everyone first. So if the map is permanently outmanned it can take a very long time for new people to get the outmanned buff.

Long loading screen in WvW

I am suprised this bug is not fixed yet if a 3rd party addon (Arcdps) can fix it.
For people who encounter this bug frequently I definitely suggest installing arcdps (having it run with UI disabled if you dont want dps meter is good enough)

Lolwat that makes absolutely no sense (unless this “arcdps” thing contains malware in which case an ad like this makes perfect sense).

Well, given that it works, and the author has flat out said they included a fix for it it the code, I’m not sure why you think it makes no sense…

Indeed, it is an official quality of life feature from Arcdps

Issues with Automated Tournaments

The gold rewards should depend on how many people sign up. Otherwise the rewards become too good for the off prime time ATs where only 5-10 teams sign up at most.

Automated Tournament incentives and issues.

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

ATs are pretty pointless at the moment, since you have to get top 4 in the montly tournament to earn any kind of exclusive AT rewards. Participating should give tokens (more tokens for each round your survive) you can exchange for the glorious hero armor parts or the miniatures.
Not going to waste my time making a static tema and getting 100 QP just to take part in a monthly where there is zero chance to get top 4 as long as people like Sindrener are around.

Also could not care less about rewards I can get in other game modes without all this stress (gold, mystic coins etc.) Those kind of rewards wont make me sign up.

I agree, harder raids would be nice. They are getting stale and boring fast because you have them on “farm mode” within a week of practice. In which other game are raids on farm mode this fast?
W4 cms should be baseline difficulty for future raids with new cms on top.

Smooth as butter is very relative and your experience sounds very anecdotal. It might work “fine” (if you are happy with sub 60 fps) in areas with no players because rendering players is what causes the most CPU stress in GW2.
FX CPUs were garbage bin tier when they were released 5-6 years ago and still are now. A Ryzen or any Intel Core CPU from the last 6 years @ 3 GHz will easily beat a FX-8350@5 GHz in gaming. They are not even real 8 cores, more like 4 cores with two integer units each.
You get what you paid for. Buy cheap, get trash.

Which AMD 8 core? I hope it is not anything less than a Ryzen @ 4 GHz, because GW2 needs strong single core performance.
Because I am using a 10 year old nvidia graphics card (9600 GT) at the moment and it has no problem setting textures and some other stuff to high. And your 1050 GTX is lightyears better.

It’s not Ryzen it’s FX series but its 4ghz I think I can oc to 4.7 according to advertised specs but not going to lessen the life of the cpu. and yes the 1050 has no issues in pve. but in wvw performance is really low. I’m not a fan of intel so im not going to switch just for gw2. Every other game in existence I can stream at 1080p all high or ultra high settings and still have high fps. but gw2 im lucky to get any kind of performance.
The problem consists of 2 factors. The archaic engine gw2 is built on and bottlenecking in wvw which is server side issue.

There you go. FX is a garbage tier CPU. Ryzen is over 50% faster per core the same clockspeed than an FX (which is still 10% slower than Intel which also clock higher than ryzen).

Posted by: Mel.3064

For a while already it felt like fortified (t3) towers on EBG can be opened faster than borderland towers and today I was able to confirm my suspicion by using a popular damage meter to inspect their health.

On borderlands t3 towers each gate and wall got 821,700 HP
On EBG t3 towers each gate and wall got 612,500 HP

That is a difference of 209,200 HP or roughly 34% HP on EBG. Is this intended or is it bugged on either ebg or borderlands?

If they put in a similar title for owning all Legendary weapons from the base and a similar title for owning all Legendary weapons from HoT, then I’d be fine with a own all legendary armor from HoT title being added.

But there’s nothing special about legendary armor that’s not special about legendary weapons so it wouldn’t be fair to reward getting all of the armor pieces but not getting all of the weapons.

Legendary Armor is special because you are required to raid 12 weeks for one set and a total of 60 sets for all 3 sets and spend thousands of gold in addition. Legendary weapons are not timegated or skillgated by anything last time I checked.

I would hope that exclusive access to the top tier of armor in the game would be sufficient reward for raiding.

Yeah, a legendary armor is a reward enough in itself. I don’t see why anyone should be rewarded for being rewarded.

The legendary armors are ugly as sin, I already reskinned my 2 and a half sets.
The amount of effort, time and gold it takes to get them is definitely not represented by the current reward. The convenience of them also seems to be a lot lower than I hoped for.

The real issue with raiding as a raider...

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Mel.3064

Mel.3064

Raids in this game are insanely easy as it is. I am suprised there are so many people who fail at them. Things like Samarog CM should be the baseline difficulty and not a one time challenge mode if you ask me.

Things like Samarog CM will never be baseline, and possibly will never appear again as long as we have LFGs demanding 300+ LI for “insanely easy” raid.

Sadly a lot of people fail the easiest mechanics or do less DPS than NPCs in living story instances. You have to weed out the trash tier players somehow when pugging and starting at the LIs is the best place to start.

Demanding 300+ is indeed ridiculous and that’s coming from me, a dedicated raider with full clear on every week.
I avoid such LFGs because the probability is higher that those groups need to be carried.

Works fine for me in most weeks, all 13 bosses in 3 hours or less.

You achieve the same with less. Just saying.

Maybe, but with higher LI the chance is higher that people did not skip the harder bosses in most weeks, so I would appreciate if you would not tell me what to require in my groups and just get back to topic.
