Dungeons - General positive criticism

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

Current dungeon design encourages or forces players to skip content.

This is true for all dungeons, and what this means is that the content is not enjoyable and/or the reward vs time needed to discourage skipping is inadequate.

Excluding the special players who have the time, patience and opportunity to enter dungeons with multiple characters, multiple builds and a ‘hardcore’ team of the same—who even set themselves challenges such as soloing the Giganticus Lupicus;

The enemies in the dungeons have too many hitpoints, and/or deal too much damage (spike or otherwise) for the average player to enjoyably tolerate.

There are some great-looking enemies, bosses and mini bosses who have the potential to become exciting encounters, but currently find themselves at the top of the list of things to avoid at all costs.

This is because they instil a sense of dread; not of the kind that puts butterflies in one’s stomach, bringing a sense of excitement through danger, but dread of the unpleasant kind.

While I have plenty, I offer no suggestions on how to create exasperatingly, tantalizingly enjoyable dungeon experiences as this is not the suggestion section.
I am merely expressing my frustrated views, notifying whoever is relevant and making one request;

Offer regular online surveys on specific areas of the game, including of course, dungeons.

I don't like Town Clothing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Pure Heart.1456

If we already had a decent selection of town clothes, I could understand the addition of unusual/non-lore clothes.

But as it stands, its like, “_Hey, here’s a pair of aviator sunglasses to go with your… oh, you don’t have anything…that goes.. with aviator sunglasses… Well, how about some riding pants to go with your mou… Oh… you don’t have…”

So they added Riding clothes...

Are you a name rebel?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

Frankly speaking, many names just reek of childish, immaturity—but really, what else can one expect?

But these kinds of names convey two things;

1) “I’m an immature child”—fine.

2) “I don’t ‘care’ about my character or the environment in which I (and my character) exist and interact with others.”—not fine. This attitude is an extension of the person’s attitude (at least in some part) in real life.

Increase condition duration times across the board.

Right now, conditions and effects last as little as 1 second.
You don’t even get to see, let alone ‘enjoy’ the conditions you’re applying.

Also, in the thick of combat with your group, nobody gives a rats behind about the combos, because, “Oooh wow, our combo added an extra 2 seconds of bleeding! Nice work team!”

Fixed condition icon positions

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

Currently the conditions icons flicker on and off, and change positions horizontally making it very very difficult to track wtf conditions are active and how much damage they’re doing.

Assign each condition icon a fixed horizontal position under the health bar so you can leave your mouse in the same position and track the situation easily.

Dungeons aren't fun in my view

No one has addressed the OP’s concerns directly;

1) Too many hitpoints
2) 1-shot kills
3) No waypoint ability to rejoin the fight

Yes, all of these suck. Really, really badly.
Anet needs to add extra activities into the mix of combat in addition to dealing with the above.

People aren’t thinking this through properly.

1) Nobody cares that their are waypoints. That’s not the issue.
2) Everybody will still use the waypoints even when there are mounts. Normal.
3) Mounts are cool. Simple. It looks and feels amazing to be atop a beast of war.
4) Mounts should provide a movement increase. It’s just idiotic for this not to be the case—How much of an increase is completely irrelevant at this point in time.
5) Nobody needs dye on their armour, nobody needs flame coming from the eyes of their helmet. But hey, it looks and feels great. Stop the “need” argument already.

Crafted worth less than material.

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

Though crafting to level even so why would the armor that you craft cost less than the mats?

Because no-one wants (or needs) the stinking armour or weapons you crafted.
What people do want however, are the mats, so they can craft their own stinking armour and weapons that no-one wants.

In short, the demand for mats > the demand for finished goods.

Why?
Because players will get equivalent or better stuff for free from loot drops, AND,
because they can just craft those same finished goods themselves from mats they already collected freely.

Anet has neglected to implement a necessary ‘component’ in the crafting process that adds value to finished goods.

I might be wrong, but whites are crap compared to blues right? And minor runes… why would anyone want them if there are “Superior” runes? I just don’t get it.

New patch = new lag

A crapload of people are downloading the patch, and then logging into the servers to play the content. It takes a while for everything to settle. That explains the pattern of crap performance for you everytime there is a patch.

And one more thing, just upgrade your graphics card and be done with it. Go mow some lawns or help an old lady across the road. Its harder to earn gold in-game than it is in the real world.

Easy and cheapest solution;

Go to the tradepost, and search for “hard leather strap” (or other salvageable items).
They are selling for around 33 copper per piece. Buy them, salvage them.

I don’t know how many more you need to salvage, but you can do the math as to cost.
You’ll get 50S back as part of the monthly reward as well.

Help; I don't understand gem supply concept

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

Which brings us back to the original issue, which is that we don’t know how many gems there originally were, are now, nor can we even speculate as to how many there will be.

Which means we are completely at the mercy of Anet who can tweak either the gem supply itself, or their algorithm to bring about their desired price.

I have one final question;
When players buy gems with real money, does the gem supply increase?

Help; I don't understand gem supply concept

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Pure Heart.1456

Pure Heart.1456

So if gems will never run out, the SUPPLY is (virtually?) unlimited.
Which means, the amount of gems needed to convert to gold should be extremely high because things that are in unlimited supply should effectively be worthless.
But they’re apparently not worthless.
Which should mean the supply is limited.
Or if they are unlimited, the supply of gems is being manipulated to bring about a desired exchange rate—Fraudulent.

I don’t get it.

1) “Their game, their supply” you say;
“Oh no! The gem supply is running low! Must convert all my gems to gold before the gems run out!”

The thing is, we don’t know/can not know how many gems there are. Also, the gem supply will never run out. Anet wouldn’t/couldn’t let it happen. Which means the whole concept is a farce. I don’t get it.

No, it’s actually not. It’ll be like government printing money if Anet was creating gems out of thin air. But they aren’t. There is a limited supply of gems that is subtracted/added to/from whenever players make Gems/Gold and Gold/Gem and Cash/Gem transactions.

This is exactly why I needed to post on this topic in the first instance;
No offense Ursan, but you are not answering my questions.

How did they create any gems in the first place?
How many gems were created in the first place?
How do you know Anet aren’t creating gems out of thin air?

I don’t understand how it applies to gems in Guild Wars 2;
