Guild Wars 2

I can hardly believe they banned your because you just said the “n” word. Btw i dont know any normal people who would use that word anyways. Hope you learned a lesson.

Seriously the negativty from you guys is just to God Puppy High! I love the game i spend 100 hours and i’m only level 42 with some alts. Ten Ton Hammer recently released a list of 80 things you can do when you’re 80, sure some are a joke but there is a crap ton to do. And when you completely milked pve, well… THEN THERE IS PvP

I’m not saying there are no problems, if you’d look throught the forums you can see i’ve posted complaints about the game and things that need improvment. Also i’m lucky that i’ve not encountred problems like being hacked and stuff (although it was close). And i can understand why people that are hacked want there money back.

But people like you that are 80 and the only thing you can do is complain here and act the arrogant customer can go back WoW (Biza) or play your Borderlands 2 (Helium)

Regards

Shoudn’t make them titles so long!

Anyway’s it’s not alway’s true… They have to listen to the community for sure but they have to be able to just say “no” to things that they think will ruin the game.

Edit.

Why is this in the dungeon section? Should be in suggestion department.

I’m not doubting it i’m just not sure whether it’ll be in the first expantsion, the second expantsion or the thrid expantsion ^^. Yes i’m calling it now we’ll have 3 expantsion over 3-4 year.

There is propably more behind all this that you are not telling us. Hearing you find it normal to use the “n” word occasionally makes me think you like to use kitten words allot which will result in a ban like this i suppose.

There will never be race change, tho i’m sure they’ll implement cosmetic surgery stuff xD

People play the game like they played mmorpg’s for so long. Though the game isn’t ment to play like one of your standard mmorpg’s = underleveled

DFAnton.5304:

Thinking on it, I’m going to have to say no, actually. Let’s first look at the equations involved, comparing it to bleeding.

BURNING: 4.1 * Level + 0.25 * Condition Damage per second
BLEEDING: 2.5 + 0.5 * Level + 0.05 * Condition Damage

Examine the numbers, and we get a few observations:
- Burning, related to condition damage, is 5 times more powerful than bleeding.
- Burning, related to level, is over 8 times more powerful than bleeding.

Let’s plug in numbers. Assuming max level (80) and 1500 condition damage:
BURNING: (4.1*80) + (0.25*1500) = 703DPS
BLEEDING: 2.5 + (0.5*80) + (0.05*1500) = 117.5DPS

Now, let’s assume 25 instances of 1-second burns are applied immediately, along with 25 instances of 1-second bleeds.
BURNING: 703 damage/sec * 25 sec = 17575 damage
BLEEDING: 117.5 damage/sec * 25 sec = 2937.5 damage

Unless the formulas for each of these conditions were changed, bolded because that’s a very important factor, making burning stack in intensity rather than duration would make it an incredibly powerful burst mechanic that isn’t mitigated by toughness, since it’s a condition. Take, for example, an engineer’s blowtorch ability. That’s an instantaneous 6 seconds of burning from 3 stacks. That’s 4218 damage over 6 seconds. If it were to stack with intensity, that would be 4218 damage over 2 seconds, instead. So, instead of having a DPS of 703, it now has a DPS of 2109. See where I’m going with this?

25 stacks of bleeding for 2 seconds would deal 5875 damage, or 2937.5 DPS. That’s with 25 stacks, as compared to the burning’s 3 stacks.

So, repeating in summary, burning would only be able to stack in intensity without being horribly broken if the underlying formula were changed considerably. And since burning and bleeding are essentially no different mechanically (all they do is deal direct damage over time), they cannot share a stacking mechanic without leading to balance issues.

I hope this was informative.

Nice feedback thanks!

I did not konw about those formula’s and i have to say they are really intersting. They could put a reduced stack amount for fire ofcourse, just to be able to stack to about the same or maybe a bit more then the bleeding cap damange.

The thing is tho, so many skills inflict buring as an elementalist that there is allot of overlap in the time of burning. I think adding a stack even a small one mabye 5 – 10 would help reduce the amount of burning time that goes wasted and boost the dps of the elementalist by a significant ammound.

But then again other classes might get way to much dps.

HakkaiRequiem.5130:

But bleeding already does that… Those two condition would bocome identical O_o

This is true, but what is the problem in that? I think only rangers would benefit from it really since they use both burning and bleeding.

Another option is just to make it more damage because well, i’m not really happy whith the dps’s the “burning” condition does.

No not related but i guess we share the same exprience.

I’m going to be honest and tell you that bumped my head against this problem aswell. I adapted in to going to other area’s and starting to craft. Combine this with personal story and i’d find it hard to believe you’re still underleveld.

Hearts are confusing since people think that if they complet them they will be on the level for the next set of heart quests, this is not true tho.

Look at what A-Net posted yesterday on there facebook i think it fits this forum topic greatly

How to level 101!

@RaZaC

money sinks are a good thing, and you’ll be glad they are as expensive as they are now, 6 months from now when they seem dirt cheap. in fact, i wish there were more money sinks, like a gambling house (with a daily limit of course), or betting gold on PvP whil Anet takes a cut for the gold sink.

I like that gold is a valuable limited resource instead of having so much wealth you can just throw it around like its nothing.

How are they going to look dirt cheap in 6 months when i dump all my money in them?

Sure i understand why there are money sinks, but especially repairing armor and traveling are both to costly imo atm.

I only read the title and here is my advice:

1. go craft
2. go to other area’s
3. gather mats
4. personal story

Maybe i’ve forgot something important but if you play this way you’ll never have lack of any xp.

^neither have i, i’m 42 and not a single fine transmutation stone. I think the fact that you can only use the standard transmutation stones untill 79 rediculous, but i guess they need to make money dont they.

This suggestion to change the way that the “burning” condition works will help to increase the DPS of the Elementalist. Basicly the big complain on the Elementalist is its lack of good DPS.

Now i understand this affects ofcourse way more classes besides the Elementlist, the engeneer for example would be affected by this grately aswell, now i’m not sure how the engeneer is doing on the balance front in way of damage.

So what do you guys thing of this suggestion would you like to see it or do you think its a terrible idea?

~Discuss!

The economy state is terrible.

1. So many gold sellers, they absorb allot of gold and sell it ofcourse this is a big problem in the GW ecnomomy

2. To many moneysinks, traveling to waypoints costs WAY to much. I need to spend about two silvers on my level 42 character to go to a friend in the asura area, then when i want to go play with some kittens in the black citadel i’ll have to pay that again.
This one is propably the biggest problem for me

3. The Trading Post, i dont kon what it is about that horrible thing but it looks crap, and works crap. The interface is terrible and bugged something that can be fixed ofcourse.
Because of the way the Trading Post works there are very big price differences. In a game where you can only put something on sale and just buy it you wont have allot of fluctuation on the price. But when you can put on offers That are far below selling price and people actually sell it, it destroy’s the marked.

Great! Thanks BobbyStein! It’s something that can get anoying indeed. But in general, good job on the writing!

I enjoyed the first dungeon allot, i died about 20 times but still when we completed it, it gave a great feeling of accomplishing something difficult.

But then when i came to the realisation that the explorable mode is going to be even harder i was like, nevermind i’ll just skip the dungeons.

Ye i’ve not noticed much of NPC’s talking on the streets about my great deeds etc.

So happy i chose to be a Norn xD but even norn’s endup slaying wolfs, bears and snow leopards. I’ve yet too kill a raven i think which would be terribly saddening if they’d force me

So ye the ethics in this game are not in line always with what you chose as your “personal story”. But i gues the games violence is better represented by a Norn then a silvary indeed. :P

Yersterday it took me 40 minutes to find a single event, and i found it by repeativly asking the /map chat. Its random i know but some area’s lack in events. waypoint traveling is way to expencive so going from area to area takes ages.

I bet you dont have 100% map completion. Go to area’s you’ve not been to try get the 100% map completions while gathering or the other way around ^^. This gives you a title if i’m not mistaken and rewards of 100% completion per map and recourses.

This is true, noticed it for the first time yesterday.

Ye, you have an i7 but one with a very low clocked CPU. This is propably your bottleneck. Besides Internet speed does not affect FPS as far as i know. Its Ping that is affected by your internetquality.

Tbh i’ve not seen any botters, or alteast not noticed any yet. Thats propably because i’m the sort of player that doesn’t stay in the same place long.

Anyways the gold sellers are a major problem, and yes people buy gold because if they didnt there woudnt be gold sellers in the first place.

Now A-Net falls under NCSoft and NCSoft did one thing right with the AAA title Aion and that is hunting down money sellers. I’m confident in that A-Net will be able to learn from them and reduce the amount of gold sellers by a great deal.

Burning doesnt stack in intensity does it? What if it did….

^ye its not dificult, i was stupid enough tho to fall like 6 times because i insisted on using ride the lightning xD

Well as you might know an elementalist can’t swich between weapons but instead swiches between the four different attunements.
This mechanic is a very important factor in your gameplay as an elementalist, you’ll do allot of swapping and once you hit 80 your fingers will be that more flexible.

I think i’ve hit the F1 – 4 keys more in Guild Wars then ever before… I’ll go over a few situations,

#1. Boss battles, you want to go staff here. Staff allows for big distance suppor skills. You really dont want to get in melee range cuz well, elementalists are not the most sturdy class of all.

#2. General PvE, Quests & exploring. You can do this dagger-dagger or scepter-dagger. I’m using dagger-dagger right now because i wanted so playaround with it a bit. Ofcourse you could go staff but i find that less effective for single target damage.

#3. sPvP Basicly go scepter-dagger i think, i’ve not been doing to much sPvP yet so someone correct me if i’m not right with that.

#4. WvWvW staff, didnt do WvWvW since BW1 but the reason for the staff is simple since well you want to stay back ofcourse and the staff allows for great AOE so ye great for WvWvW.

This all said the elementalist needs a small buff, dont ask me what. Maybe more dps, i’m not sure.

Hope this gives you a little bit of an immage how you have to play as an elementalist.

To clarify, the question i make at #2 is, should i sell the blue’s and greens instead? or keep salvaging and selling the mats?

I tought charr where related to cows?

Dont wear armor while doing the first part, you character might catch a cold but atleast he doesnt break his armor.

1. I know i cant wear sPvP gear in PvE, can i wear sPvP gear in WvWvW? If not is there seperate armor for WvWvW?

2. I’m level 42 now, and until now i always salvage any blue’s and greens i dont need, sometime’s i’ll sell greens to a merchant but thats rarely.

3. Since the Swamp world boss i’ve not seen another one of those baddy’s, any hints ?

Thanks!

short: F1-(1,2,3,4,5)F2-(1,2,3,4,5)F3-(1,2,3,4,5)F4-(1,2,3,4,5) USE THEM ALL.

I think they’ll be bussy fixing accounts :P

Apparantly you can do it without getting banned.

Since server transfers are free now you’d be able to “exploit” this but they will become paid. Then it wont be effcient at all :P And as stated by the Community Leader, its not efficient at all compared to just farming in the next zone.

Tought SOPA and PIPA didnt pass?

This sounds like something from SOPA… Now i understand why there is so little coverage on the game by TB and other gaming youtube channels like ForceStrategyGaming. If they cant make money of your product by making video’s of playing your game, they obviously are not going to make those video’s.

My personal experience with DE is that it differs allot in area’s. The start area’s 1 – 15 have plenty ’o dynamic events, the 15 – 25 way less. level 25 – 35 is decent i think and 35 – 45 so far has been pretty good imo.

Is your laptop getting generating allot of heat? I’ve had issues with my HP laptop getting over-heated and basicly killing the motherboard. Could you post what type of HP laptop you have?

Go to HoM in GW1, it did it for me.

I’d love to see a return of the dwarfs, tho it’ll probably not happen soon.

I’d defenitly get it, also i’dmake a music file for guild wars wich will consist out of this song only.

This needs to be added.

PopeUrban.2578:

Maybe have them mailed on creation, but limit how many you can write pretty heavily. Like… one per month or something?

Basically I like the idea of being able to ‘reccommend’ some new person who you just bought the game for with a nice ingame item and email they can hand to and NPC, but I don’t like the idea of people turning these in to a trade commodity on the AH.

Say I get GW2 for my girlfriend, and she logs in on the second day with an ingame email that says to go pick up a package from NPC X (maybe a heart vendor I have already completed) So now she has a little mini-quest created by me, with my karma to go pick up this letter. The NPC gives a short dialogue about how she’s been spoken of highly by <insert hero name> and how any friend of <insert hero name> is a friend of <insert karma vendor name>

So, my girlfriend gets X amount of karma, as well as the ability to use this karma merchant before actually completing the heart.

I love the concept but i’d like to make it more practical as in being able to do it once a day. This would also fit into the game better since a month in guild wars 2 is roughly one year(1). I think my hero would be able to send some more letters of recommandation in that time

(1) 2 hours day cycle in guild wars results in:
1 month = 30 days, 1 day irl = 24 hours = 11 day’s in gw, multiply that with 30 = 360 gw days.

Naaah… Bad idea. There are too many high-end items for karma. Deserve it. Not by playing 5 characters to wear 1 up.

Really dont get it, what does it matter if i get it by playing 1 or 5 chars? 5 chars might even take longer because you’ll spend more time in low level area’s where the karma rewards are lower then 1 character farming karma on 80.

I’ll just use example.
Yesterday I’ve seen most amazing light armor set. It costed 42k karma per piece, and it is available only after defeating high priestess in Orr. You want? Help the pact fighting the Orr. When You make events in high-end realms You can earn it pretty quickly.

So what about it if i use karma from other characters i have played on before? I mean all the people know i’m a hero after doing that great deed right? Now if i reseave karma from other characters in order to get that set of armor i dont see how that breaks the lore.

The thing that actually breaks the lore is having to do karma farming… Imagine Tyra being a real world, people whould give you the armor because of saving their K I T T E N S, now they send you to go do the run “x” time more…

Why not? This is how it goes now:

Charr: LFM AC!
Norn: LFG AC!
-they meet-
Norn: can i join?
Charr: invite
-when group full-
Go in dungeon and have fun together!

Now whats the point in having to spam LFG/M if you could just do it via a handy mechanic?

I really love your idea PopeUrban i’m feeling all fuzzy inside now ,.

But seriously its a great idea to fit it in the lore!

I always supposed their was one, now its seems there isnt? Thats stupid because where are you going to leave al your awesome armor sets? On your bank? No space their, oh wait i can buy space with gems -_-" = forcing to buy it for spending allot of time getting armors.

Basicly its a must added feature.

MilitiaMasterV.7216:

I like to think of karma as your ‘reputation’. It’s how well the locals ‘know you and your deeds’.

Transferring that to another character seems like it would be wrong. How are those locals supposed to know about your other character you transferred it to?

so if i spend all my karma… no one knows me anymore ? karma is a K I T T E N!

I’d love the option since i play lots of charaters at the same time so i have it spread across them, if i’d be able to transfer it from other toons to my main that would be great
