Mai Trin & Captain Horrik destroyer of pugs.

I don’t know if I agree it’s the destroyer of pugs, I’ve not been having issues doing it in pugs unless it’s in the < lvl 10 range…but a lot of that is more due to the fact they have no idea what they are doing and weren’t particularly reliable skill wise in the previous 3 fractals either

I full think they put in an on/off switch for this quest. I am still working on mine with my 1st character but I no intention of doing again and honestly I looking at the green blob on the map or the little green arrows in LA telling me to go do the quest….

X_X “I won’t! I won’t! You can’t make me!!!!”

It could be worse, one of my toons has a story instance right out front the bank :\ I should probably just do it to get it some where out of LA where I don’t go.

…thats hasnt finished the “my personal story” because is boring, even thought i got 3 lvl 80 characters?

No I haven’t finished it either, my ranger (who I haven’t really played in close to a year) is up to the lvl 77 PS or something (some boss turns into a spider and spawns infinite waves) and wiped a couple times so I never went back and only progressed in other personal stories to lvl 20 or to unlock an order.

I have done the arah SM dungeon though….that is so long.

My point about the wupwup is the stats are wrong so it’s a bit odd to place value in the defense value’s either. I wouldn’t be surprised if both are inaccurate.

I don’t see why anyone would report you for stating your opinion on the matter.

It was probably something offensive, opinions aren’t necessarily without offense. content. Given that the say the heavy isn’t masculine (and they are kind of aggressive in presenting that) I imagine they said something that bordered on homophobic or was just somehow offensive in regards to gender.

More often than not removed posts are removed because of offensive content even if the poster doesn’t see it.

So, I have contacted support on this matter, and had this response:


As a general rule, we are not able to offer a gem refund. However, in this case, we were able to refund your 800 Gems and they have been added to your account. Please check your gem balance for confirmation.

At this time, we’d like you to delete any item or items for which we provided a gem refund.

We cannot guarantee that a similar refund will be possible in the future, so please exercise care when conducting all your gem transactions.

While I am happy to get the refund, they are basically warning me here not to buy items from the gemstore when it released, because if THEY may make a mistake, I may lose that item without getting a refund?

I’d say it’s more a reference to this being a special situation and they don’t normally do refunds (which in itself is questionable given in Australia customer can technically return anything if it doesn’t match up to standard) . It’s likely just a safeguard against people just wanting to get refunds for whatever the purchase if they change their minds.

What’s the armor increase? Ascended weaponry had significant increases in the damage stat of the weapon itself.

for heavy

helm – 127 vs 121
shoulder – 127 vs 121
coat – 381 vs 362
glove – 191 vs 182
pants – 254 vs 242
feet – 191 vs 182

that’s assuming the datamined wupwup ascended chat codes are accurate (which is questionable considering they have TPP stats rather than celestial (wupwup)

So the difference is 61 more points you can move to other stats (power, precision, etc). IMO small, but not insignificant.

61 is the increase in base armor value, nothing to do with stats. But again given that the chat codes are for wupwup but don’t have the stats related to wupwup I don’t personally hold much value in the stats or armor value being accurate.

there are people that have posted on reddit with the exact opposite from feedback (ie they had their original t3 skins returned to them). Either support are inconsistent, have some currently unknown criteria, or someones trying to stir up drama.

I’ve not seem them drop since they were also removed from dropping out of the chests….ie about a year ago.

The truly unfortunate thing about all this is the precedence it has created…

Not really, this has already happened before in GW2 there was a point for months after launch where a lot of the karma gear in the lower level charr zones had the wrong skin, nothing happened for months and then all of a sudden log in and it’s all different. I know the Tarstar Longbow from the Tarstar Chief had a completely different skin (was a cultural weapon for char or human)

100% agree with this.

Having to go to another medium is ultimately more hassle than it’s worth. Even if you start the current process it’s a hassle to give the relevant information since it’s from a completely different location so you just give up (and then they send you an email asking you to rate the support that you never even sent because of the hassle….)

The current process is just user unfriendly since they need another account than they use for the forums and ultimately asks the user to be familiar with a completely unrelated system. It’s like asking for support at your bank and being sent to wal-mart.

Removing Race Restrictions on Cultural Armors

in Suggestions

Posted by: Protoavis.9107

Protoavis.9107

I definitely do NOT want this. We need more race and profession specific stuffs, not less.

Agree with this ^ 100%+

Take out the uniqueness from the game, it gets dull really quick. Then everyone will be wearing what the next guy or race has. Just one mass look alike, ew.

Agreed also.

If it were taken out, then I’d really like to have some of the racial utility skills on other races, my norn ele could do with some poison field, I’m looking at you asura radition field.

The other thing that’s funny about this, being that t3 human caused it….90% of the armor in game is human inspired. The vast majority of armors you encounter in game you will only encounter on human NPC’s. Most sylvari are in their town clothes/culturals/nightmare court dungeon armor. Same with the asura, norn and Charr. There’s a few exceptions here and there but that doesn’t really alter that the majority of armor was designed with humans in mind and then ported over to the other races. What we can take from this issue (flame kissed) is a general lack of variety of style in the current armor sets available.

There’s a lack of armor variety and there should be greater emphasis on armor variety and armor variety that also reflects the other races of tyria rather than just humans and the bulk of armor designed with them in mind.

As far as the sides thing. It is being exacerbated by those on the T3 side that even having achieved what they want – removal of the skin from those that purchased it – are attacking those seeking fair compensation for the loss of the skin, something that really shouldn’t be of any concern to them at this point.

But you’re right that the main problem and largely ignored problem is how this was handled by ArenaNet. They gave one side everything they wanted to appease them and are using change management on the other side rather than identifying their interests and trying to find a fair solution that satisfies them as well.

When one side is repeatedly asking “just let us keep the skin” the initial people are just going to keep responding. I doubt the majority of t3’ers responding would be if people suggesting “solutions” didn’t involve “keeping the skin” every few posts.

Also as has been said many times in this thread, all reactions at this point are irrational until the new skin comes out, people see it and decide whether they want it or not, if in the case they don’t and contact support and no resolution can be reached THEN there’s something to talk about but currently there isn’t. The only official source has said full refund, anything else has been unreliable hearsay and basing any reaction on that is not rational.

Honestly these threads are better left off closed until the new skin is out, nothing constructive will come out of them because there isn’t enough information available to have rational thoughts on it, just baseless assumptions.

WvW and Ascended Stats Snowball

in WvW

Posted by: Protoavis.9107

Protoavis.9107

Ascended gear will not make you win a fight unless you were good enough to win it anyway.
The extra stats (5% or something like that) won’t really make much of a difference.

Another thing to keep in mind is that WvW was never meant to be fair or balanced.

the 5% is inaccurate. with full ascended armor it’ll be closer to 20% (and on top of that will be the base defense increase making exo weapons do even less damage)

The other re-skins appear to me far more lazy in their execution, and also under-handed; basic armor, badly re-skinned, sold to semi-unwitting customers for large amounts of gold, or real money. I’m surprised there wasn’t far more uproar over THAT attitude toward re-skins. I think it is a point of debate that should be taken up.

In their case I question there ability to sell at any significant rate (I mean I’ve saw no one wearing it in game and still haven’t seen anyone in game wearing it) . I think to some extent their lack of sales compared with past armor sales is probably going to be say the reskinning idea probably isn’t worth the effort

I’ve seen more reports of it but not sure if it’s more frequent really, just more people doing it since it’s the LS.

Also it doesn’t appear tied to any fractal difficult or reward level based on reddit, someone got a wupwup chest with personal reward 4 doing a level 8 fractal….so all the new folk doing it are probably just increasing the number of reports but overall it’s the same rate.

stop repeating again false informations..

They never said they can give back exactly what we had…..and what we heard from support says they won t.

You didn’t hear it from support, you heard it from a random poster who may be a troll, there’s no validity or fact checking on their post, it’s not from an official source.

New fotm are skins ….
I lose the 10 i used on weapons
I lose the 6 from the reskinning my celestial armor
I lose the old skin
I lose 50 useless fotm weapons without stats
I lose my frctal levels on all my alts

All in a single patch….

To be honest though, I don’t think you’ll ever be happy, you appear to want them to retroactively change rewards you may have earnt a year ago (50 fotm weapons) and replace trans stones for weapons that aren’t related to the armor skin. Whatever weapons you transmuted is on you, it’s not related to the armor, you didn’t lose them. You make assumptions about the old skin on your gear with no official confirmation one way or the other about it. You want replacement trans stones used on the celestial gear that you used to get the old skin on to them (since it can’t be for the new skin since they don’t require trans stone to apply), etc

No its not a reasonable answer

its like saying “for now we suggest this awful solution” in a distant future we could or could not find one suiting your situation….

WE need a better OFFICIAL solution now.

Would you play this game if they told you “oh we could delete randomly some of your stuff”
For ex we could delete your twilight and give you a sunrise….or a minstrel

I guess not.

Ermm…technically they already could do that and everyone playing is still playing.

Also they aren’t deleting “your stuff” they’re changing the skin, you know like they’ve dozen half a dozen times legendaries (I miss my purple projectile Predator without the foot falls and stupid aura) and twice now to my sylvari cultural gear…..

This makes me so mad. When they release ascended armor, why bother, if it will end up being obsolete in a future release?

They said Ascended would be max tear, but since gw2 is full of bad decisions, something like this would not surprise me at all, they cant evolve teh game so they a add dumb stuff.

And a level cap raise would stop it being max tier how? It’d still be max tier, there’d just be level 90 variants available.

So you came to a QQ thread looking for tips?

No, I didn’t. However you started talking like you knew something

I’ve been doing dredge since the start of fractals. I’m guessing you guys just got into it. Learning the tricks is always necessary for challenging content such as this one. proper team synergy and utility skills are required. You can’t just barge into it and keyboard-mash your way through, you need to be smart about it. Anet doesn’t need to nerf something that a knowledgeable team can skate through with little trouble. The playerbase needs to become more knowledgeable.

You tell the player base to become more knowledgeable but then refuse to impart any knowledge and then complain that people are asking for nerfs….you’re effectively creating the environment that will see it nerfed.

It’s a lot easier to be helpful and polite when people are asking for pointers but then I guess not everyone has manners.

There is nothing challenging about dredge. The issue is the time to beat it is long and you can’t do much especially when move trickle out of the car slowly for 8-12mins

Protoavis.9107

I can’t comment at this time as we haven’t finalized anything. In addition, you should look at it this way, if people flee lower league servers to get into the top leagues, it opens the opportunity for people to move to those lower leagues and finish 1st or 2nd, rather than being in the top league and finishing 6th or 7th. The rewards for finishing 2nd in the Bronze League will be markedly better than the rewards for finishing 6th in the Gold league.

The funny part being he believes people aren’t all going to stack into gold league winner. Why flee to a lower league when I can flee to a higher league that’s going to have 100% coverage all the time and guaranteed wins as a result. (especially when you consider there won’t be queues to get in anymore with the temp maps)

[SPOILERS] The Sylvari are not minions

You missed the biggest piece of evidence that the PT isn’t related to an elder dragon : Malyck comes from another Tree; therefore a) the PT cannot be the dragon itself, since the dragons are unique, and b) the other tree lacks a Tablet, and therefore can’t have been “freed”, and yet Malyck opposes the dragons.

Doesn’t he also lack his memory, if so it doesn’t really confirm or deny anything that he opposes the dragons…he has no memory, he isn’t a reliable source of information

Except that the storyline confirms that he wasn’t born of the Pale Tree. So the fact that he has no memory doesn’t really matter.

My point being that his memory is gone, doesn’t mean the rest from his tree oppose dragons because he did.

You’re not a special snowflake, you’re not just so much better than everyone else.

We know how to do it, it just takes twice as long as every other fractal and is not challenging.

It isn’t long because it’s hard, it’s just long.

Actually, if you were to read the posts above mine, you’d see that the people complaining about it in this thread are complaining about the difficulty, and that difficulty stems from the large numbers of mobs and the intricate mechanics required to progress (relative to other fractals, such as Battleground or underwater). They find it HARD to get past the dredge blocking the door. I find it easy with the right tools. Then they find it hard to kill the champion boss. I find it easy if you know where to stand. And if you want to speed up that fight, then you should figure out how to fight the boss in the middle of the “clown car” segment so you knock down both bars at once. As intended. Then they find it hard to kill the final boss. I find it easy if you have the right timing.

I can complete the dredge fractal at 40+ in a half hour, and come away with 40-50 heavy miner’s bags for my trouble. No, I’m not a special snowflake. Many more can do the same things. Those are the people who possess the capacity to learn and adapt their playstyle to the objectives they face.

I’ve been getting similar in that I’ve been experiencing lag and a lot of random disconnects (ie booted to the character select screen) at first I thought it may have been my ISP but it never occurs to my flatmate (who is often playing a different mmo) so if it was my ISP I would image he’d be booted at the same time. Really not sure what’s going on since it also doesn’t appear to be universal to GW2 (as I would imagine other party members would be dc’d). It’s odd whatever it is.

People have read Anet’s response and people are unhappy with it. Your stance is that is what they said and if people don’t like it too bad they should just sit down and shut up.

I think it’s more a case of wait and see what the replacement looks like at this point. Given the announcement by Gaile it seems unlikely they’ll address any perceived issue from this situation until that time. For all we know the replacement armor may be better making all the complaints redundant. There’s just a lot of “jumping the gun” and comes across like people just want to rant at each other and Anet without having all the information (which can’t be available until the new skin is here).

I did the fractal for achievement but now when it comes up I just leave party and go again, chances are doing a whole fractal run again will be quicker than pugging through the dredge.

Now if everyone started doing that and no one is running it anymore, they might actually change it

…….

On a tangent, I’m surprised your name hasn’t been changed given that the last part MisterEction can’t be a coincidence and it’s exactly appropriate.

This does NOT fix it for all parties whatsoever. I want to keep what i paid for with real money.

You will get to keep your gems. IE the only thing that can be bought with real money

Legally they can do anything they want at any time with out any reason.

EULA are not necessarily legally binding. I agree with you for the most part otherwise.

I agree fully but that’s the brilliance behind them. Anet could literally out last a normal person in court. They have millions if not billion’s of dollars to fight a court case with where the avg joe might have a tenth of that.

It wouldn’t even go to court, there will never be a court case over $10, no judge would ever get involved in something that petty without damaging their own reputation as a judge. Switch brains on people.

Their base skins are available to everyone so I believe they are fair game, honestly though they’re pretty ugly and unpopular skins to begin with so I doubt they’ll sell well. With the base skins being available to everyone I think this is more a case of letting people vote with their money, the lack of sales will likely see such blatant reskins with fairly “meh” particle effects not occur in the future. I mean how many people have you see with either skin in game? I haven’t seen any.

As the Sorrow’s Embrace dredge says “no no no no no”

It really defeats the whole point of the decision to remove them

I agree with the OP.

My sylvari is gorgeous! Other players told me my main was ‘beautiful’. She has max glow, celestial dye, with touches of midnight ice.

I want to be given the choice to keep my armor. That’s all I want.

that defeats the point…..

wouldn’t make sense in the context of enternity which uses two different legendaries, for upgrades to now use two of the same.

Creating an ultra rare armor set only available to the few thousand who bought it before being pulled from the TP does not seem the most fair or solve the issue of human cultural being made available to other races for 1/3 the price.

ANet goofed. Flamekissed is getting nerf. It happens.

Ok lets say they change looks for those who bought it. If I dont like it, I want my armor back in same state as it was on the day I applied your skin. I have even transmuted some norn cultural and other (already transmuted) armors. We will end up losing 50+ gold and some skins for supporting this game and purchasing in shop.

You’re making baseless assumptions. When the time comes, if you don’t like the replacement armor, contact support. end of.
