Guild Halls and the Disappointment.

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

In theory it was a way to give guilds some more perks and things to enjoy. In actuality it is a ruinous pile of grinding and walling off benefits guilds previously had access to behind these things, meaning that now smaller guilds simply have almost no chance of getting anything worthwhile.

What does shield offer over hammer?

in Engineer

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

With shield, you don’t have to take the Scrapper traitline to use it. Also, the pistol gives ranged ability, though not much, as the above poster said.

The Scrapper traitline is quite good, but two of it’s minor traits feel designed for PvP mainly, and don’t really do anything for you unless you’re in a group. Having alternative minor traits to pick too would be nice.

Also, the Magnetic Shield can be used for knockback, something the hammer’s reflect cannot do. That being said…the hammer’s block and reflect skills overall are superior, at the cost of having one traitline locked for it and less ranged ability.

Dueling queues.

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

Having seen an upcoming MMO doing this, I think it would be a nice addition to SPvP.

1 v 1. An arena, probably like those guild hall arenas, the two fight until one is down.

It’d be nice for those that prefer dueling to have a way to further their rank/reward track progress, as well as be something different from conquest.

Thoughts on this?

BDO & MMOs

Anything past Windows 7 seems to be garbage from what I’ve seen.

So this “BDO” has a great character creation eh? So did Aion….and I saw how that turned out. It was garbage.

I’ve seen this thread before for ESO, Archeage, Wildstar, and now this. And what became of them? They either messed up early on and had to make massive changes to make themselves playable, or started off good and then devolved into crap.

I’m guessing the next one will be Blade and Soul, eh?…hahahaha.

Suggestion: Subscription Plans

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

Responding to the opening post:

On the rare possibility that this isn’t just a troll thread…..No. Not a chance.

While making the game free-to-play wasn’t the best idea (mainly due to the limitations they’d have to put on new accounts), a premium subscription, let alone one on the level you’re suggesting, is a stupid idea that would only regress the game and ensure its downfall.

And…one of the main points of this game is that there are no subscriptions, required or otherwise. You’re suggesting that they betray one of the things that made their game as good as it is now.

So…..no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Repeatable Hero Points need nerf.

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Hmm…..no.

Considering that most will taxi to maps specifically for the meta event, I don’t see how the hero points distract from that, especially seeing as they are only repeatable once a day.

I’ve noticed that the snowflake materials can now be combined without needing to use Dust and Crystals like the new Evergreen/Mordrem materials. Once again, I’m going to point out a good change. Hopefully they do this for the other types of materials that can make Lodestones at the end.

Why isn't Palawa Joko expanding his empire?

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

Kralkatorrik (and possibly minions/champions as well) would impede his progress via the Crystal Desert, and even with Zhaitan dead now, it doesn’t mean the Risen over there are gone. The Deep Sea Dragon may or may not also interfere with aquatic travel, like it’s supposedly doing for Cantha.

And, to me at least, he doesn’t seem interested in anything beyond Elona. He did conquer it way before the Elder Dragons started to rise, right? If he really wanted to go over to Tyria, he’d have done it by now, or perhaps realizes that trying to take Tyria as well is too much to handle.

Dead dungeons so how do I get tokens Anet?

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Unfortunately, PvP reward tracks, which were already arguably more efficient for getting tokens, are now the only good way to get them now unless they fix the dungeons to give more or be easier to clear.

Apparently I’m out of good luck, the repair instructions are either invalid or my computer is being stupid. It won’t allow me to change the shortcut properties to the name they listed, stating it to be invalid….any other ideas?

I cannot change the shortcut to Repair in the Properties menu. I typed the “-repair” in as it was shown in the instructions and then tried including it between the parentheses. Each time my computer just says it isn’t valid and will not allow me to change it.

I’m not sure once you’ve reported a mail you can still return it to the sender. That may be why the option is greyed out.

Well, the mail is gone, but now the option is just greyed out for all other mails I receive. Something’s broken. And, I was not warned that it would stop the return to sender function from working, which means that shouldn’t have happened, unless they changed that without changing the notification, or it’s a bug. Of course, that assumes that this was the cause, which I’m still uncertain of, but I can’t think of anything else.

I couldn’t delete it without taking the item within (a packet of salt from a scumbag thief). I’ve already done that, but the return to sender function is now just grayed out and I have no idea how to fix it, whether this is intentional or another bug they’ve somehow let slip through.

It may have had to do with a mail I sent back, and then reported when it was sent to me again. But now, the option is either grayed out or doesn’t work, claiming “mail is not available at this time”, even when that’s clearly not the case.

Winter’s Presence and the Community

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

This thread’s opening post is nice. While I don’t even want to go for that skin at all, I can certainly understand the frustrations of those that do.

It’s not that people don’t want to give effort, it’s that the means of getting it are not friendly to those with little time or those who cannot deal with gimmicky jump puzzles, and that it probably isn’t fun for most involved.

I don’t mind giving effort for something I want in-game, as long as it’s reasonable. Unfortunately, it seems that more and more content so far is starting to demand unreasonable amounts of effort for some of the rewards.

And, spare me that exclusivity/prestige crap. Any argument in favor of that basically says “forget you, got mine, I got it, now I don’t want you to have a chance at it”.

A Question About Salvaging Ascended Items

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

It can salvage the sigils(and usually does), but it won’t always get all of them. Again, better to use only on weapons you know you won’t use.

Gerent much easier now

A bit hard? Failing over and over after a hour or so of preparation each time because of a slip up or bug was not “a bit hard”. It was ridiculous.

And, unless they removed all the mechanics involved in that meta aside from the gerent itself, saying it’s now “press 1 to win” is just wrong, period.

Master of Corruption needs to be changed.

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

It either needs to inflict extra conditions on the opponent or just reduce the recharge of corruption skills. In it’s current state (and the state of corruption skills in general), there’s no way to use it better than the other two options we get for that slot. It actually gets us killed faster. What’s even the point?

*Please let us see utilities in Death Shroud*

in Necromancer

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

I support this thread idea.

Ideally, it’d also be cool if changing to Death Shroud still allowed the use of utilities, and maybe even powered them up when used, with costing Life Force as well. But even just being able to see the recharges would be great.

Improving Foot in the Grave.

in Necromancer

Posted by: Nilkemia.8507

Nilkemia.8507

Foot in the Grave is already obscenely powerful, giving us an excellent stunbreak up to once every 7 seconds without having to spend a Utility skill on it. While I would like better access to Stability outside of Reaper, I don’t see buffing Foot in the Grave as a good way to do that.

No, no it isn’t. It’s a joke compared to the other two Grandmaster traits we’ve access to in that line. Also, it’s only once every seven seconds if you traited for the reduced recharge first, which isn’t worth taking over the one for staff marks, unless you don’t use staff…

And, if you think buffing it isn’t a good way, then do you have a better suggestion then?

For more stability, especially in Spvp where they love to just CC the crap out of you when you go into shroud mode. Infusing Terror just doesn’t quite cut it on it’s own, plus there’s the AoE fear that it’s (barely) used for.
