I am an econ major. In econometrics we do not like micronumerosity at all. When we need to correlate data from the real world we simply cannot be satisfied with small data sets. For instance trying to correlate wage gaps between sexes and races is better if you have a huge data set.

Back to the air sigil thing. If the chances of proc’ing air on crit is 50% and you have 40% crit chances. You should only see an air proc 20% of the times when it comes off CD. Given the fact that you fail to crit sixty out of one hundred it wouldn’t be rare to miss that proc a lot over a small sample size.

But we are testing with specs that have 80% crit chance and 50% proc on crit. When you have the large number of variables in a human population, you need large sample sizes. By minimizing the number of variables, we can use smaller samples sizes. If you are an econ major, really think about the difference between wage gaps in human populations (and all the variables that come into play) and a hard-coded machine system with only 1 variable. Does it make sense why small sample sizes can reveal a difference here, while larger sample sizes are required to compare populations that share a few similarities and many differences for each member?

More learning if you look up student-t test, which is a perfect application here. Good luck with your econ studies, gaining a deeper understanding of the limitations your professors have suggested will make you certainly more valuable in the workplace.

Ohhh kittentt shots fired

Again to sobesoul, an ele testing with air 1 on scepter with 2.8 hits per second with an 86.5% crit chance and a 50% proc chance, will have 1.211 hits per second that proc air sigil. With that kind of chance to proc you don’t need a huge sample size to see that its clearly not working right.

People always complain about sample sizes its a weak argument…

ArrDee.2573:

This change is silly! Unlike other AI builds, turret builds make the user completely worthless! Hip Shot! Hip Shot! Hip Shot! So mighty! Plus turret Engineers can’t swap weapons and are absolutely worthless off point! It only makes sense that turrets are beefier and stronger than other forms of AI!

I would’ve thought the obvious change would be to have turrets scale with your stats! An Engineer that values damage while sacrificing defense will in turn provide frail, high-powered turrets and vice versa! That way someone that builds to be a bunker can’t deal much damage and someone that builds to be a damage dealer can’t take many hits! But oh well! That logic is wasted on the cele meta which some classes build to be a bunker AND deal decent damage! #Anet!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Are we….frands?!? Wow i made a new one without even trying!

Yesss this exactly. This nerf was exactly what should not have been done. The reason people hate ai builds is that you have to fight ai. This nerf makes it so its easier to fight ai, but you still have to do it.

They should have gone with the route of balancing turret engie so that they dont do alot of damage while being crazy tanky. That would at least move the focus from fighting ai to fighting people. Now all that will happen is turret engies will set up their turrets in even more annoying places and run around the point avoiding getting hurt. Great change!

Why did part of this thread become discussing burden of proof and people qqing over sigils, which most of the time dont really matter….

“We took 5 minutes to survey people outside the Wal-Marts in Redtown and Necksville, Alabama – asking if they like Obama. 11 out of 11 from each store said they hated that foreign-born muslim socialist. 11 out of 11 is 100% Therefore 100% of people everywhere ever dislike Obama!”

There’s a difference between this stupid example you gave and phantarams test. Sure phanty coulda given a larger sample size but his proof does show that there may be something wrong with air sigil. Air sigil itself is buggy, just ask tarcis about arcing slice :P

i would like to know what the chances are that for 2 tests 1 minute each of channeling air 1 on scepter air sigil with a three second icd procced just as much as fire sigil with a five second icd. Also what are the chances that in 4 tests the sigil procced the same amount each time.

The game unlike real life is not random and its method of critting is probably pretty consistent. I don’t think you need a huge sample size for a sigil that proccs 50% of the time in order to see whether something may be wrong.

It wouldn’t be uncommon for four things to have the same outputs over a small sample size.

Its not that small of a sample size
In total phantaram hit 168 times and crit about 145 times.

fire sigil can only proc 12 times a minute because of 5s icd. With 2.8 hits a second thats about 33.6 hits that fire sigil can proc (12 seconds of possibility in a minute). with 86.5% crit chance 29.064 hits are crits, and with 50% chance of proccing fire sigil there should be 14.532 hits that fire sigil procs. But ofc its restricted to 12 and since phanty only did it for a minute it makes sense that he only got 11 procs.

Air sigil with a 3s icd can proc 20 times a min. with 2.8 hits a second thats 56 hits, with a 86.5% crit chance there are 48.44 crits. 50% so 24.22 times that air sigil should proc. But its restricted to 20 since the icd.

Not saying his sample is 100% right, but shouldnt he have gotten more than 11 procs with air sigil? he had 145 crits that could have procced it and with an icd of only 3s supposedly he could have procced it at max 20 times. seems somethings a little fishy and it seems unlikely that he would have gotten the same procs for both sigils with the amount of crits he had.

Why did part of this thread become discussing burden of proof and people qqing over sigils, which most of the time dont really matter….

this is a nice change, but i think it would be better to address the fact that turret engies can take the tankiest stats possible and still have their turrets hit for a lot. Sure being able to destroy turrets faster is nice, but on certain maps and places they can put their turrets in places that are hard to reach and be a waste of time. If you changed turrets damage to the engineers stats as well, i.e. a zerker engies turrets would hit harder, a tanky engies turrets would hit weaker. That way they cant just run around a point doing nothing. This also doesnt address the fact that a turret engie can just leave his turrets on a point and run somewhere else.

The changes are nice but im not sure if they are the right ones. I dont think all these changes should be made since that would make turrets horrible (ok actually i wish they would but have to keep build diversity), but i think the damage-stat change would be best.

fixing forum bug!

MikeE.5947:

Also the animation when running and jumping with a staff in hand. My female human necro looks weird to say the least.

Yeah also with rifle, but i think they may have fixed it. Not sure tho LOL bc i got so used to it but this morning i was jumping around outside AC and it was perfectly normal

From your own OP quoting Gaile.

Hamfast.8719:

TL;dr: This change is coming, as soon as it can be scheduled and prioritized. Naturally, some matters that are higher on the priority list but this project will be scheduled as appropriate.

I’m not sure what more you are asking for since Anet stated it will be worked on at some point depending on priority. Maybe they should delay HoT to work on female animations.

I am asking them to “flip a switch” and restore the animations exactly as they were before. (Hopefully it’s that easy).

Ahh, the age old, it’s as easy as flipping a switch argument.

Click yes to create the perfect MMO

From what I understand, the team has the tools to reconfigure and re-enable the animations, but the team lead told me that naturally they’ll need to figure out when someone (or maybe more than one person) can be assigned the task. As it turns out, each animation bit needs to be reconfigured individually.

The way Gaile made it sound yes it is basically as easy as flipping a switch.

Id like them back as well, but its not really a main concern for me. But 4+months is a pretty long time…

Mesmers damage isn’t the lowest of all classes…But it isnt that great.

Anet nerfed the increase from ranger runes from phantasms and minipets so theres a dps loss there. Also most of your phantasms will not stay up during an entire fight. Sure in AC you can say “OMG my warden was doing mad damage on that spider queen and didnt die once” but in other scenarios that wont happen. My phantasms die almost immediately at arch diviner, or at lupi. Alot of mesmers power from aa chain comes from having 3 phantasms up which is not easy to do. Also in short fights a mesmer has to create the phantasms which is already time lost.

The reason why mesmer is no longer in the meta is because its dps is worse than guardian and it has worse general utilities. The only times people use mesmer is for portals (at least in speedruns). I definitely think it needs a buff in pve since its harder and more interesting than guard.

edit: this came in after i posted

i think the expense is sort of fine, i mean it is bis gear.

What’s bad about ascended crafting is the time gate on mats, the requirement to max out all crafts, and the fact that you need ascended for fractals. Ascended crafting is an extremely annoying grind that is not only gated, but also gates end game content. A lot of people say you dont need it so who cares that its a expensive and to most pretty annoying. Thats not really a good reason to not try and improve ascended crafting.

Atm i have crafted two sets of armor, have not yet made weapons but it is my new goal. The problem im having is deciding whether to craft weapons which will cost the most in leveling crafting or to craft my warrior gear so i can finally play a heavy class in fractals….

You should do the weapons. TBH you should have done the weapons first. One weapon set has a larger impact on your characters overall performance than full armor.

I know but idc about the stat improvement, i wanted to do fractal 50s, and im pretty sure you need more than weapons to get 70 ar. might be wrong tho

Moa form is pretty great. I see a lot of mesmers using it wrong tho. I use it to get rid of lich form, or rampage, or if someone is going to die anyways and i want it to happen quicker.

The cd on the skill and the fact that you have three evades and you still can damage the mesmer a lot makes it so the skill really isnt that OP.

Do you have any specific examples? In pve and in pvp i use lf the same as infil arrow and it works most of the time.

Also infil arrow doesnt work alot of the time as well.

The problem with the whole vocal minority vs. silent majority thing is that its a bad argument for why fixes dont come in. Sure there are a ton of threads over things that are stupid and unnecesary that come from a vocal minority of players but there are also really important threads as well. Those threads represent a common view in the majority of players, the problem is a majority of the players wont come on the forums to talk about it. Nor should they have to. There are things that affect the game that would obviously bother most players. Ascended crafting had a vocal minority in opposition to the way it worked and to this day i have never met a person who liked ascended crafting (really good for character progression right?). Dungeons are more popular than before and yet are riddled with bugs that can basically ruin paths. There are others ofc Traits, NPE, SAB, and others. A company shouldnt require a majority of its players to come to the forums to change something.

That being said atm they are working on HoT so its understandable they dont make changes quickly, although some of these things have been around for a while.

Bart Weird.9671:

Jumpdodging and being immobilized midair results in the majority of my deaths as thief

Dont shadowstep, infil arrow, disabling shot, infil signet, and steal all beak the midair bug?

Noticed this recently on cof p1 end boss and Ta end boss my camera zooms in a bit like a cinematic but then gets stuck there the whole fight. Its pretty annoying. Not sure if this bug has been around for a while or its recent, since i just started doing these paths again.

wondering if anyone else has this problem and if theres any fix. My fov is at max and i think i messed around with the vertical slider as well.

if they release fractals above 50 this would be needed for the ar underwater for that first fractal. Or for swamp if you are….bad at the game :P

+1 but make it so it can be crafted with any of them i.e. armorsmith, tailor, and leatherworker

Artemis Thuras.8795:

I can’t resist stating the obvious:
Have you tried completing personal story?
That should make it go away.

:)

you can also set your story to one of the LS ones and just complete that.

Dont chase a thief, but if they assault you on point i dont really see why you shouldnt fight them 1v1.

The only class i would not fight them on is mesmer, but you also have to be careful on warrior because their steal will give them a nice burst on you especially if you switch to lb. From my experience on thief, the classes i don’t mind 1v1ing are Mesmers, Warriors, Necros, other Thieves, and Rangers. The other classes will either take too long or be in advantage of the other person. However even on these classes it doesnt mean you cant win a 1v1, you just have to play better than the thief, anticipate steals and avoid their blinds. The best way to end a fight quickly with a thief, from my experience, is give them an opening that they will be sure to abuse, and then burst them down. Feint with dodges since most thieves will steal after seeing one or two dodges.

Also if the thief SRs drop some aoes on the farther side of SR. People always seems to waste their skills on the side of SR the thief obviously isnt in. Also if you’re running fire sigil you can easily spot them if you hit them in stealth. You can also see infiltrators arrow even when the thief is in stealth so you can tell where they are running to.

Wanze.8410:

There is no need for a follow up, if the info is still the same. What you are asking is a chance in policy as you want them to tell you that they will or will not come back. They wont do that.
If they reintroduce them, it will have very little effect on my in game experience as i play with low character details, which means i dont see whatever you decide to put on your head.

What i have problem with is useless bumps to this topic a la “No news yet on bunny ears?”

If you click on this topic, it will direct you to your last post. From there its very easy to scroll down and realize that no, there wasnt any news in this topic by a dev. No need to to make a bumper post, asking if there are any news.

And if I want hopping and bunny ears, i just use a jackalope tonic.

Are you the forums arbiter, or just on a strict campaign against bumping?
Im not sure if anyone’s asking for a “chance” in policy, but even if we are what’s the harm. There obviously is some change in information at least from the players/customers perspective because we all expected this to come out around easter.
Anyways the bumping is more people showing their support for getting Bunny ears back, just like your multiple posts here showing your dismay that people may get to wear bunny ears, which you wont even be able to see kek. BTW There are other threads that have the same kind of bumping, you should probably check those out too :p

Also jackalope tonic is sooooooo last year, get with it Wanze

6 months is a long time. Sure Gaile’s response was pretty satisfactory, but after having it not be released when it was expected to, it doesnt seem unreasonable to ask for a follow up does it? Things change maybe they decided not to release them ever, it would be nice to get a word from them.

Also i hope when they do come out you will no longer be mr grumpy and learn to love the bunny ears and all the flowers and hopping that go along with it

The deleted lava under the first bridge from past patch is now water. Better than nothing?

DarkSyze.8627:

Arena net create the thief class to be the Most-Over-Powerful class in the game: that is why thief class will never be challenge and fun class unless Arena net re-design the class from scratch.

No Exception!

yeah thief is not a challenge and is definitely the most boring class and most over powered one in this meta
/s

On another note this build is super fun. First when i saw this i thought, look at this cheesy kitten. Now i still think its a bitt cheesy, but that may just be because Anet hasnt really balanced condis on thief.

Otherwise its a really fun build. Most people arent prepared for it when you come at them so it works really well. In Stronghold it has really good potential for taking out npcs and other players.

Other thoughts – It didn’t seem extremely OP, more just OP in certain situations. I met a teef running this build when i was on war and it wasnt that hard to kill him (maybe he was bad :P). However i would hate to fight this if i was using my normal crit strikes.

So i made an engineer not too long ago because i thought it would be fun. Turns out not only do i hate playing against cele specs i also dont enjoy playing them. I know some people go zerk with the same build as cele engies run but i was wondering if static discharge is viable at all? I ran it a couple of times today and had a pretty hard time even though it was pretty fun.

The two problems i encountered was it was hard to survive, and i didn’t really know what playstyle i should use. I couldnt act like a normal cele engie because i got bursted down really quick, but it also felt weird playing like a thief or a mesmer :p

Anyways mainly is this worth trying out and if so any tips?

Dont really care about mounts, but i wouldnt mind having them. I find the wp system boring. Sure its convenient but id like to travel around maps quickly without having to teleport.

Anyways as far as this thread is concerned, you can classify those other items as mounts but only in the extent that Anet could easily make something you can ride on. Mounts that people want are still different than those toys. However, this doesn’t mean that your argument for mounts is that bad since the executioner’s axe toy is basically a mount for classes like mesmer that don’t have access to a speed skill. The toy lets them travel faster on a relatively short cooldown.

DarkSyze.8627:

Fantastic.5298:

How is engineer overpowered? not saying I agree/disagree, just want to know what you guys are thinking. I haven’t seen anything op with respect to this game type for any class except Ele.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMvarJ28SYo

Isnt static discharge one of the hardest engie builds to pull off. It has super low sustain, and ofc that video is in wvw where most people suck :p

a better example of why engineer is overpowered is cele rifle or turret. Turret isnt really that OP, def not as useful in stronghold. Cele is also not really OP, but definitely needs to be fixed since you have good damage and great sustain. The problem with engies compared to other classes in this map is that you need ccs to stop channels and doorbreakers, and engies have a ton of ccs.

Ofc stronghold is on its first day of testing, and i dont think we can say any classes are GROSSLY imbalanced but i have a feeling engies will be brought up again. They seem to benefit alot from this game mode.

YourFriendMarvin.4127:

4. NPC’s die too fast, Door Breakers with only like 1-2 up can break a door down quickly. Give gate or NPC’s more HP. Need the casters with swirling winds at Lord for better defensive options.

Yes this…Npcs seem so useless besides door breakers and heroes. 1 person should not be able to solo kill all the guards inside the first gate quickly. Archers…I dont even know what their purpose is besides holding aggro, they seem like a waste of supply.

And the capping of heroes definitely needs to be fixed. I don’t mind that supply requires a cc but the heroes cap should be stopped by any attack since they are pretty important objectives.

Other concerns:
1. Map at times seems a little small for all the objectives present. The heroes and supply are very close to each other and often times your team or the enemy team can just swarm through all three. (not sure exactly how to explain this becuase its not always an issue, but it seems to promote zerging and clusterkittening)

2. Not enough time allowed, games sometimes seem to go to whoever has the most dps rather than who utilized the best strategy.

3. Would work better with more players, also on other version of stronghold it would be interesting to see other objectives as well.

Another thought, i feel like the npcs are really weak vs. players, like archers and guards take no time for players to kill. They feel useless when you have a massive team fight in front of gates.

It’s PvP after all, players matter not NPCs

Thats true and im not a big fan of npcs but since theyre in the game mode i think they should serve a purpose.

One game i solo killed all the guards on the enemy team, and after we crushed their offense it was smooth sailing. I think the guards should be at least a little tougher to kill, (not super hard just a little harder) and i feel like the archers should also either get a little more health or more damage.

I constantly found myself fighting outnumbered. This was not due to my teammates being bad, but because there was so much going on at the same time, two heroes popping up, pushing offense and defense, running supplies etc. that it was too hard to communicate without ts. I think 10 v 10 would be great but not on the map they released. I think there needs to be more space between the objectives to curb zerging and to reward players who position successfully.

Another thought, i feel like the npcs are really weak vs. players, like archers and guards take no time for players to kill. They feel useless when you have a massive team fight in front of gates.

practice =/= hotjoin

There are daily farming servers and such. Yesterday i got daily ele winner doing 2v2 in one of the public ones lol

10/10 would watch again

I still prefer getting a box letting you choose your fractal weapon instead of just letting you buy them. Maybe that would make them less exclusive though, but I like getting things i want as drops not just having to work towards them with tokens. A little bit of rng makes the game more fun for me.

today i first advertised AC All Paths Zerk Only and got 3 warriors.

So i left and advertised Ac zerk only no warriors and got 2 warriors.

i left and advertised the same thing again and got 2 warriors.

once again i left and advertised the same thing and got 1 warrior. I decided fine w/e he cant be that bad, and then it turns out he and 2 others’ weren’t berserker.

How hard can it be to read the lfg. The warriors in my first two attempts were astonished i even tried to exclude them and one started getting mad when i asked him to switch xD. Oh it was annoying but it was fun.

that was a fapilicious tournament cant wait for the next round

congrats Ti

I think any option is going to be boring and tiring. Crafting both twilight and sunrise is about 5k gold while just buying eternity is 4k. Personally i would just buy it.

spoj.9672:

He spams an attack that does a lot of damage in a 600 radius and launches you back. The green things constantly knock you over and poison you, meaning it can be difficult to position yourself safely. If you dodge you may end up in the path of one of them and get caught in a bad place. And the trees will spam immobalise on you which will prevent you from dodging and can also further troll you by keeping you in the paths of the green things. To do it effectively you really want someone spamming blocks or constantly interrupting him so you can keep the group out of the green balls paths without issue.

ohh ok makes sense. Its weird hearing that speed run groups would range a boss :p

they did it quite well then.

Melandru is the guy with the trees right? Ive only done p4 once and that was ages ago…what exactly makes it difficult to melee him?

Maybe they’re keeping it a surprise?!!?!!

Although most likely its not coming…otherwise that_shaman would have found something for it.

that_shaman wouldn’t find anything new because the bunny ears item is already in the client, since players that bought them first time around still have access to them.

Yeah but sometimes he finds banners for the new items. Like for the rainbow unicorn finisher and the balthazar outfit he found the banner art for the gem store. I figured if they would release it he might find the advertisement art for the bunny ears as well.

I would just like to get a response on whether they are coming back any time soon or not…

At this point i wouldnt really mind hearing no, bc at least its an answer

Kal Spiro.9745:

I really don’t understand what the problem is. It’s a two fer, or a skip. When it’s more than 1-9 I skip it, cause I don’t want to do that. But when it’s 1-9 I’m all about it.

What I don’t understand is why you would not do a full fractal run if you’re going to do fractals. They take a bit, but it’s not actually that bad.

Just like I love when there is a Vista Viewer or harvesting in the same region as a zone event run. Knock off two things at the same time.

If you can’t do two, well you only needed three things in the first place. Do the basic fractal, then do whatever the other two PvE things were. Done, quit complaining.

This guy…..

This guy gets it

Hard Mode dungeons would be fun, but it really matters how they handle it. To an extent higher level fractals are more fun and more challenging than lower level ones because of how hard the bosses hit. But the reason why so many people enjoy fractals even with the horrible loot, is the interesting boss mechanics. Hard Mode should not just be about mobs taking longer to kill and hitting harder, in fact it should not be about time at all. Instead it should be about mechanics.

Lupi is well known to be the most interesting to fight boss in the game. Sure part of it is because he isnt super fast to kill (In pugs without cheese mode) but its also because he makes you stay awake when you fight him.

Id like to see them add new mechanics to bosses in the game so when you activate hard mode they do new things as well as hitting hard. Make the spider queen spit out an unreflectable ranged attack that bounces between party members and makes them frozen for 3s. Give Lupi all of his attacks throughout all phases including locusts and make them hit harder and in melee range.

Hard mode will probably not get put into the game this way, or at least not for a very long time. They dont have a dedicated dungeon team and it seems like they are focusing on harder open world content rather than instanced. Also people would somehow conflate people wanting a challenge to excluding and dividing the community (blech).

Anyways i hope to see this but i doubt it will happen.

Class dailies in pvp should be focused on first because they actually have a lot of negative side effects. The fractal one is just annoying to people who don’t like fractals (why they don’t I will never understand)

I wouldn’t mind if they take out the overlap (even though I enjoy it at times) if they replaced the daily fractal level range with do whatever level range you want. I normally do 50s and 40s and sometimes go lower if its on the daily. I would rather just do the 50 and the 40 since the players at those levels are usually ok and runs are faster and smoother than lower level ones. The worst daily IMO that I have never done is fractal 1-10. Those runs are…. Painful

Unid dyes as drops was amazing! Getting a new color or a rare one was the best feeling.

If they reintroduced them as drops normal dye prices would drop and maybe then the inflated prices of black lion dyes would also decrease.

My other problem with dyes are the bl dye packs and the whole pay to rng. I don’t get why there isn’t more backlash for these kinds of items, they make the gem store gross.

Daily engie is more of an issue than this.

If you don’t like fractals no one is really forcing you to do them with the double daily. Daily fractal means you just have to do one at any scale. Get some friends or post in lfg, roll for swamp and you will have it done in 5-10 min tops.

We fractal lovers get so little. A repeated fractal skin, a useless healer’s chest, or kittenty unneeded ring is the loot I see on the regular. This double daily makes my fractal running experience joyful because I actually get something for the work I put in. Can we at least keep this part of the daily?

Also if you have never done fractals before, the daily fractal on swamp is seriously 100x easier and less annoying than the daily event completer!

man yall basically hate everything.

Nobody hates DF
DF is love, DF is life.

Guildies sometimes force me to play staff when i dont want to ;_;

I just wish staff was more than mainly fire. I mean you can get a little more out of it with starting in earth but there’s no fun rotation for it, just let out the hellfire and watch things burn.

DF to me is the most fun, S+LH is fun but frustrating at times when either I down or someone picks up the LH it gets annoying fast. DF is just consistent fun.

Well i think staff is useful and i find it pretty fun to play. Managing attunements to blast water fields, to provide swiftness, to imob and chill, that projectile reflect, and ofc insane dps. But the problem with staff is that you only ever need those other things in difficult encounters, and so i limit my staff use to arah and fotm where the encounters are challenging enough that playing staff becomes fun. (altho at this point not even arah…its become pretty easy)

D/F on the other hand is fun everywhere so i use it in most dungeons unless someone complains

Ranger companions, Mesmer phantasms, Necromancer minions, Guardian spirit weapons, Elemental summons, …..

Is it not expected that they’re supposed to be a minor buffer against damage, even if only in a miniscule capacity when being targeted? I don’t understand the reasoning of destroying that just because you’re annoyed that your ‘Nearest Target’ didn’t actually target the player you wanted.

The mesmer one makes sense because theyre supposed to be clones of you in order to confuse your enemies.

Everything else doesnt makes sense.
