Im guessing this will be nerfed soon.

Just proud I got to be a part of the first kill while it was still hardmode.

Really the first 25% is the worst, after that its not bad.

First off let me congratulate you guys on a world first! However, I’m somewhat concerned watching the video in the methods used to complete it. It seems that there were several boss mechanics that just turned out to not be all that important, IE – there was no effort to jump over his wave attacks. I think the bigger concern (hint hint ANET hint hint) is that watching this video, the only successful way to complete this content is to apply zerg tactics to a maximum. How are smaller servers going to stand a chance in completing this?

Most people couldn’t even see the wave through all the wall of reflections and other stuff going on.

SO thats why it appears no one even tried to jump the wave.

GW2 is down right horrible with effects and large groups as you cant even see stuff at times.

Every second spent reviving an ally downed by a tidal wave is a second at least two players aren’t doing damage. In a 15 minute fight, every second counts.

This is where other servers fail.

Do you not realize that in the first phase that if your stacked and not reviving the people under your feet your losing not seconds but minutes of dps because they have to run back.

Some servers say dont die, take the walk of shame back…. ya theres a reason you cant beat it guys.

Spending 2 seconds ressing someone in a stack is faster than losing their dps for 60 seconds.

This is a big reason why we won is because we would stack and everyone would res if someone died or was downed. It literally took seconds if 5 people started ressing you.

I will say this the first 25% is the worst.

After each mega laser shot the most important part of the fight is leaving about 10 seconds before the laser phase ends and getting in position to dps him hard. Fiery greatswords and ice bow aoe along with strong melee. That is the most important part of the fight is burning him fast and hard while he takes extra damage.

Another thing we did was stack and have the turrets fire cleanse on us as well as buffing while 2 is on cd. Then having gaurds put reflect walls up all around the stacked cluster, ressing people that get downed or killed in the first 25%.

We finished with 2 minutes still on the clock.

Also, you need to get people rezzing the dead instead of forcing them to WP and run. The devs very much emphasized during the sneak peak that the run back takes people out of combat for 60 seconds. When you have a large group of people that you’re forcing to run back, that’s a lot of DPS you’re loosing. You can get people back into the fight FAR faster if you rez the dead. Get rezzing and you’ll likely do better.

Rez while they’re down. The first time around people waited to be rezed, so 60% of all population was dead most of the time.

You should be rezzing if they’re dead too. Having so many people running from the WP is hurting your DPS. You can get someone rezzed up from full death and back fighting far faster than it takes for them to run back from the WP.

Thing is though people aren’t ressing so it ends up being faster way pointing.

No lag here.

Get a better system…..

Dont even need a better system, people just need to lower some settings.

Im playing on the lowest settings because my PC is ancient, and I didnt have any skill lag with Teq.

One thing I did notice was that the patch reverted game settings. My game music volume was maxed, and several graphics options I dont use were enabled.

What people need to do is reduce the people they see on screen thats a huge one.

I am, was quite amusing to watch everyone in zerk gear stack under golem like usual only to either run away or get downed and die right off lol. So I am loving the fact that you have to actually move, dodge and heal now instead of stand in one spot and spam 1.

First of all you didn’t have 200 – 300 people on your map. because there would be over flow. So lets just get that exaggeration out of the way.

And next our server had him down to 75% to 80% range… we had bonewall several times due to stacks and we had probably less than 100 people, I dont know theres no way to count people.

Your blowing things out of proportion because your mad. Thats okay. But lets not lie about numbers and such. We had a pretty uncoordinated group and got him down pretty far for a first try compared to many servers. So I know for a fact you didn’t have no 200 to 300 people nor did you not get him below 75% with 0 bonewalls and flawless turreting lol.

It was an overflow server to begin with, though good question would be how much people there has to be before overflow happens. There were 2 bonewalls in total and he had his toughness stacks down. Does that mean that all people have to be beserker for it to happen?

In GW2 the game is built around dps….. sad but true. Support has no role and this just reinforces that

Love it!

This is how world bosses should be. Not just push overs in the face of the zerg and loot pinatas!

Sure people are mad now but really how many servers had a clue on what to do? NONE.

Failure on the first try was a given.

I hope that other bosses get this same treatment. What your dragonite and other loot? Learn the bosses and coordinate with the community. It’s not too much to ask that a group of people come together and join hands and actually communicate to do a task rather than mindlessly zerg something.

I also hope champions get scaling and adds in the future to reinforce teamwork and stop the mindless zerg farm that happens in this game daily.

Thats all I enjoy the fight alot was fun and requires skill to do.

Also kittening dragon world bosses are supposed to be kitten all strong. Not just stand around and slap him till he dies with no repercussions.

Want your loots put your big boy/girl pants on and actually fight.

You see the problem is that was what we were doing. I sacrificed my armor for him, get downed players up, we had people on turrets taking his stacks off and this is what we achieved. With a full map of 200-300 people. At the end no turrets were down and tequatl had close to no stacks. That was people TRYING THEIR BEST. What will happen when the popularity drops when people trying their best can’t do it?

+1 Same. Its impossible did with pugs Min 80 ppl? about 200-300 ppl here and only 10%?

80 people that know what is going on

We had 80 for sure got him to maybe 80%….. but heres the thing. the wave alone was wiping out like 20 people at a time. Then downed people would get poisioned.. and die.

The people on turrets were shooting risen and kraits.

We had bone wall 6 times.

SO 80 or 300 people doesn’t matter if no one is doing what they are supposed to be.

My thoughts on Ascended/Direction of game

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Namu.5712

Namu.5712

Its already been announced, its coming.

Ascended will be the only tier added. Its not turning into a gear treadmill.

They said exotic’s were to easy to get they wanted it to take longer and they wanted to satisfy the part of the gaming community that wanted some progression (nothing wrong with that).

Get over it and move on its coming. These VERY same discussions happened with rings, accessories and the amulet. Did they stop there? NO, they will continue forward and introduce the armor.

You can quit if you want it is a game after all. But someone will replace you thats the beauty of mmo’s with no sub people come and go more often than you think.

Umm ya I cant do popular events without getting tossed in overflow, so we group up and someone goes ahead of time to secure a spot in the zone….
Some screens from this week and last week….. the worlds aren’t empty. Alot of people level in WvW, alot of people do just spvp, alot do crafting to level…..and the average time in an area is rather low since you level so fast in this game.
http://imgur.com/a/vuDso#0

Also even in games like WoW where you apparently have 10 million subs. you wont see a single soul in the leveling areas almost EVER. Only will you see farmers or bots. You dont see people until you are very high level there in that game. GW2 does a pretty good job of keeping “some” life in other zones.

Legendary as a sign of unskilled player?

You should be required to have fractal 48 and to have cleared each dungeon path in a certain amount of time in order to get a legendary.

yea, something like actually achieving hard to do things requiring skill should have been the basis for legendary’s… not oh I grind-ed for a month or bought everything for it lol.

Especially them being sold on the TP.

To me having a legendary isn’t very legendary as they can be bought basically and took 0 skill to aquire.

I mean doing more damage is always good, but at this point I would only go for an ascended weapon for cosmetic reasons. What do you guys think?

Ascended trinkets + Ascended weapons + Ascended armor set =

The grinding for PVE titles and skills only made PvE easier then it already was. If there wasn’t WvW I wouldn’t be as bothered to be behind a gear tier. But when expensive gearing affects my ability to play form of PvP then it’s annoying.

But this goes back to Anet specifically stating that WvW is basically open world anything goes.

Be it your out geared, out leveled, or out numbered no rules. you want balanced pvp thats exactly what they made spvp for.

And so the pve part…. you mean exactly like GW2 lol. PvE is already easy ascended isn’t required one bit it just makes it easier.

And can you not get everything required for ascended strickly playing WvW? I believe you can…. the only thing you have to do is craft to 500 for the weapon… I bet you were already crafted to 400 didn’t complain about that did you? Probably not.

I have 4 ascended weapons as of now.

And dont even bring up “well in gw1 you didn’t have to grind” Actually you did just wasn’t for gear it was for something that also increases stats.

We had to grind in GW1? Pray tell, how?

I think he’s referring to pve skills. Which, admittedly most people did grind the Nightfall (seed of life, there’s nothing to fear, rduced dmg in torment) and EotN titles (pain inverter, battle standard, i am unstoppable, ursan) to increase their effectiveness, the same for some faction based skills (save yourselves for example).

Beyond that, we did have the single quest in factions which everyone pretty much hated – accumulate 10k faction for your selected faction…. required before we could progress to hatchery or grove. Wooo I can still hear the griping about that one.

^^

Yup to say GW1 had no power climb or grind at all is a flat out lie. Not sure why people think there wasn’t.

Maybe just because it wasnt in the form of gear… which is pretty ignorant if thats the case.

Unless you dont consider title grinds for skill stat boosts a power curve or a grind….. because its both.

We are barely going on 2 weeks of play. If you call that a grind and horrible well you haven’t played many mmo’s. And dont even bring up “well in gw1 you didn’t have to grind” Actually you did just wasn’t for gear it was for something that also increases stats.

yeah it is quite easy if you have a ton of gold and play 10 hours a day. Dust is easy to get. Draconite a little harder, but after downloading the overlay it has help greatly speed that up. The emp frags are the hardest part since I do not do dungeons.
But you calling it a no grind just because you play constantly and have a ton of gold does not mean that it is not a grind.
I do not mind some grind and I like to farm to some extent, but the amount of materials needed to make these are quite absurd.

not really.

the only thing im short on is wood actually. The rest I got from just playing lol….

The only thing that cost money was getting to 500… and even then I dont consider 150 gold to be alot in gw2 now…. at launch sure that meant you were rich… but now…. you can make that amount in a few days.

But back to my original statement its not a horrible grind. Worse than exotics, way less that legendary.

When the devs steer a game away from entertaining play and toward grinding for loot, this is exactly what you get.

It’s what “the people” want apparently. I still can’t understand the “fun” factor people find in mindlessly zerging champ after champ for hours on end but eh, guess they paid their money just like I did. Hopefully Anet will start to look at putting engaging encounters in the game once they see how the new Tequatl pans out. Sadly if that fight goes south and people refuse to play it because they think it’s too hard it won’t bode well for any of the players that find entertainment from well thought out encounter design that promotes having to use a modicum of “skill” and organization.

Because some people just want gold gold gold gold.

That is perfectly okay.

however for the people that occasionally go and kill a champ with friends or solo them as you happen across them want to be rewarded for doing so.

Before it was not worth the trouble of doing it… wasn’t rewarding. Now it is. Some like to take advantage of it.

If people want to spend their time like that who are we to object?

Whats not okay is name calling and harassing players that are just playing the game. Report the people doing it. After a few 72 hour bans ( or perma if they keep insisting on being jerks in game) they will stop.

Stop being a victim and play the game how you want and report the people that are being rude and nasty. Anet will ban them. And for people that farm non stop during their game time…. well 72 hours of not being able to is harder for them then you think lol.

lol I purposely construe the train when people start being stupid in map towards others even in frostgorge I will solo fish kodan and norn while they run to troll kill brood and go after quaggan u act stupid I’ll treat you like stupid it should be a community not a give me give me and screw you attitude

I do it too lol. What to be kittens in chat…. thats perfectly fine. But im going ahead to every champ I can solo…. which is alot of them. And I will do it for hours just to throw the zerg into disarray.

Its like talking smack to the person making your food…. dont think they didn’t spit in your burger lol.

Um? I am pretty sure I am not complaining about farmers/zergers ruining anything or victimizing me. I don’t understand the enjoyment they get from those activities so I don’t participate in it. Personally at this point I could care less what “monetary” compensation I get, I don’t find it fun so I don’t do it. I would however like to see content shift away from the current trend in at least some aspects of the game, not because I don’t want people to make money, but because I dislike the game design itself of the only thing that matters is damage and dodging. Hopefully the new Tequatl will challenge players to think of at least some strategy for breaking this mold but time will tell. If it is unpopular, it is unlikely that Anet will make further attempts at making things “interesting”.

Ya the reply to your qoute was really just my first sentence lol not the whole thing, sorry.

To the OP: new players that attack a champ are not going to get fussed at, they are going to DIE. No new player will solo a queensdale champ.

You are just trolling to get something nerfed that you don’t like to paticipate in.

Ummm when I was a new player I soloed champs often…..

No.

Its convient online to blame lag. But as a person online often you should know that you should never multi click something especially when dealing with items.

its not their lack of support its your lack of attention to detailed and patience. It is policy not to do something not becuase of bad support but because its something people would abuse and would cost anet money. Thats bad business. So be a better customer and stop blaming a company, just because you made a mistake and didn’t get your way.

I have always had great support from them.

I can go login to WoW and not see anyone till I hit the level 80 + zones… and the people I see are probably farming materials or bots farming materials…..

Whats your point? People dont go hang out in low level zones? Why would they when theres so much other stuff to do?

You have people doing spvp, WvW, dungeons, hanging out in LA working the TP/Crafting, Doing Fotm, Doing level 80 events in ORR for temples, Farming champs in frostgorge/queensdale, Killing world bosses when they spawn.

Theres a reason why low level zones aren’t really populated, its because people are out playing the game. And given the short amount of time it takes to level its not really a reasonable conclusion to think that the game isn’t populated. its just that people move on quickly into higher level areas and stay there.

There is a big population, they just aren’t leveling.

When I cant even join my friends in a event because theres an over flow its not because the game has no people its because theres so many I cant even get in on my server to play with them.

Now that dungeons are not worth farming, I’m stuck with a huge zerg of 80s running from champ to champ in Queensdale. Lord forbid you kill a champ out of the order they are running in. Lots of “nice” comments in Map chat if you do.

Its like RL someone is riding your butt behind you in a car and you go the speed limit mean while they are sitting there flipping you off and raising their hands as if to say wtf you go the speed limit for go faster so I can go faster!

What do you do? Ignore them and do what you were doing.

No one is forcing you to read nasty map comments. Just go bout your business.

It’s the same person that once claimed that he wants everyone to get their best stat gear by the time they get to level 80. Now he says they never intended that.
If a year from now they decide to add a new tier, he’ll likely be saying that “it was planned all along”.

What happened was players chewed through content way too fast. Faster than they wanted.

less than 1% of players did that. In fact i believe there are more people that played from the beginning and still don’t have full exotic set than there were people posessing legendaries in November.

I find that hard to believe, it took next to nothing to have full exo. I remember. And many people had already gotten sets from COF.

So ive finally been able to play 1-2hrs everyday. I used to only play on weekends some weeks. Anyways ive noticed the lack of dungeon groups available. For the last two weeks i have not yet been able to join an arah group or create my own. The two times i have had a group they have been pretty bad like spending an hour to get to lupi and then someone would leave. Ive also been unable to get a group for hotw. Maybe its the time that i play at but i dont really think that should matter when i should be able to play as i want(JK).
anyways just wanted to know if Anet plans to make any changes because im starting to get really bored of running cof coe, and ac. Its like back when cof farming was still possible except with 3 different easy dungeons instead of one.

ncsoft aren’t the devs, they’re the publisher

And as the publisher they have pretty much all control on what is developed in this game.

Anet can say hey we need this in the game and pass it up to them but if they say no sorry we aren’t budgeting dev time for that then Anet is SOL.

Just to put in perspective something.

WoW during normal play only has around 100k to 180k concurrent users on.

Only at launch of new expansions do they have huge numbers.

So 400k concurrent players is actually a very respectable amount.

More tiers? "I really hope not." -C. Johanson

Colin Johnson timeline:

  • The now infamous quote about expecting people to have best-in-slot gear upon reaching level 80.
  • The now infamous quote about how he didn’t expect people to get to exotics so fast, so Ascended gear must be added.
  • Don’t expect another tier for a long while.

Do you really trust him at this point?

Sure I trust him. Just like anyone else who said something years ago, and then the situation changed. In your life, you’ve never said something and two years later had to change it?

People are disingenuous. Oh, he’s a dev. He needs to be proficient in crystal ball to know what will happen.

That’s not the way the world works.

Yeah lets just get all game developers to make false statements about their game before release so people will buy the game anyway despite them not wanting it, then make up some BS so they can cover it up. Is that what you’re trying to say? God, you’re so ignorant.

Okay that’s another story. I believe when those statements were made, that was the intention. People are complaining about what Anet is saying NOW, about what Anet was saying then. These are two completely different issues.

Do you have any evidence that when Anet said that stuff they didn’t mean it?

Whether they meant it at the time or not is irrelevant — but let’s assume they did. I would prefer to believe that than that they were deliberately deceptive. Once you allow the assumption they meant it, what is relevant is that they changed their minds for whatever reasons. What is also relevant is that they want us to believe they intended to make exotics harder to get before launch. However, they’re telling us that a year after launch. That makes them look deliberately deceptive — whether they really were or not.

You seem intent on making excuses for ANet management. You’re saying that gear probably was not a major issue in their minds. You want us to believe that it was an aside they threw in while talking about more substantive issues. You want us to accept your assertion that they were very casual in planning what to say to sell their product to the public.

I can believe they changed their minds. I can believe they are trying to save face over the whole Ascended gear mess. I can believe they are accepting the collateral damage to their reputation that the recent statements have made in the eyes of some fans for what they believe would be worse damage to their reputation if they admitted that Ascended was a reaction to keep the game’s revenue from falling to unacceptable levels. I cannot believe that ANet was as heedless and thoughtless, as casual about how they were marketing their game as you want us to believe.

You want us to believe that ANet is a big business, and that big businesses engage in spin/damage control. You’re right, they do. Big businesses also carefully plan how to market their product. You might want to consider that the next time you are composing one of your “apologetics” posts.

Anet said some stuff.

NCSoft said you better do this.

Anet did it.

Not hard to understand is it? Seems to be.

It’s the same person that once claimed that he wants everyone to get their best stat gear by the time they get to level 80. Now he says they never intended that.
If a year from now they decide to add a new tier, he’ll likely be saying that “it was planned all along”.

What happened was players chewed through content way too fast. Faster than they wanted.

Exotics in a day legendary in a month.

So they inserted an inbetween gear that takes about 2 weeks to get. Nothing wrong with that.

Also dont forget that Anet answers to a higher power. NCSoft who is notorious for Asian grinders. So before you go jumping up Anet dev butttholes you might want to stop and actually thing before putting people down NONSTOP on the forums.

This Lurker's opinion.

tl;dr — We’re not even paying subscription fees! Why are people complaining about content in a (after you pay a flat price) free game?

Some people’s kids..

I’ve spent about 150€ on the game box and gem store so far.

So can I complain now?

Thats a choice you made, and is not an obligation. Nor does it give you a reason to complain.

Thats like giving a friend a hundred bucks then kittening at them because they aren’t doing what I want them to do -.-.

Reasons you did not choose a Charr
