Guild Wars 2

They are actually doing it already. Heard some Tengu’s discussing the living story ^^

My knight guardian says hi and also you are full of kitten.
I have 5 toons, 3 of them at lvl 80, 1 of them is a full zerker, the rest is “balanced builds” (LOL).

Dodging is a game mechanic based on consumable. Most of the game’s content is focused on dodging and proper positioning (e.g. soloing lupicus). You either time it right or you eat the bullet. If you prefer to stay in 1 spot in your soldier’s armor and spam the auto-attack and feel like a God, that’s your choice. I enjoy the action combat and knowing that my zerker might get 1-shotted if i misdodge is fun to me.

Zerker and Assassin are here to stay, whether you like it or not.
Dodging is a basic game mechanic, so is proper positioning.
Self-healing and self-sustaining by the means of skills, combo finishers, pure survivability or DODGING is a base game mechanic. It really is the foundation of the game, so you either learn to play or go away.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

We’re currently looking into solutions for this and another nasty case: Party leader leaving the party and ejecting folks from the dungeon, forcing them to restart.

One of the solutions we’re investigating to the problem you posted though, is for the instance ownership to transition to the new “party leader” so that instead of everyone getting the boot, there is a player in the party who becomes the new owner and the group can continue on.
I’m sure I’m making it sound easier than it really is, but that is one of the solutions we are investigating. There’s a lot of tech magic way beyond my pay-grade that needs to happen, but we are working on a solution to this issue.

EDIT: especially since you’ve been looking into this for OVER A YEAR!

Came here for this I wasn’t disappointed!

Interesting idea! It would definitely make the world feel more “live”.
Although personally I’ve always expected the game to have a book like entries for the past living stories, like the one we have for personal story. You know, the tabs as chapters and quick story tied to it.

Esya.3427:

So was magic find before they changed it.

The whole point of ascended is to amass agony resistance. I doubt they’ll change the whole point of it, because compared to exotic stat-wise, ascended is not so great, other than giving you extra infusion slots.

It’s whole another issue that as a last tier, it needs to have variety! And they know this, and I don’t know why they just limit us with 1 armor set per armor type. For example exotic has TONS of variations. Ascended is meh :|

If your endgame is going to be about cosmetics, and you put only 1 type of armor in your last tier, the “endgame” tier, you’re clearly doing something wrong.

It’s like that since open beta. It’s been suggested countless of times. My guess is, its not an easy fix.

Agony resistance is item based stat, just like critical damage.

Haha seeing a krait doing 100 blades should be quite bad xD

Emanuel.9781:

There was arah selling back in 2012 already…

You should seriously stop posting here now.

You should seriously stop making things up.
Even if there was dungeon selling at the time, it wasn’t a thing! And it’s so nasty today that even in guild chat I see guildies asking gold from other guildies for a dungeon run >_<

Enaretos.8079:

Last summer I started using the LFG website. There were runs being sold. You must have stopped playing for a year :p

And yeah I know about the means of making money, but I don’t approve of it, for logical reasons. The difference between you and me, is that while I won’t resort to using those, I won’t try to stop people from doing it, because they are free to do so, and I can adapt.

You should try it too.

I stopped around at April or May, and there was NO dungeon selling at the time. People were busy farming fractals ^^, myself included. And somehow I believe that playing the market is less intrusive than dungeon selling. I find it the same as playing with stocks IRL.

It was in a response to @spoj though.

Btw, there are other ways to turn profit in this game. Such an economist like yourself should know them :O

They buy willingly because some of them know no other way. However I agree with your next statement. Thing is … I stopped playing for about few months (personal reasons), at the time I stopped NOBODY sold dungeon. Now I came back and well I do not look at the LFG tool anymore because I choose to ignore that. True at the time there was no IG LFG tool, however gw2lfg.com had no dungeon selling paths. Now its full of it :|

Because the topic has nothing to do with economics. And I fail to understand how am I the troll here You are the ones obviously exploiting less skilled players in a twitch based action style game. (y) And FYI I don’t usually talk about myself, I’m answering your silly questions, standing behind my opinion, while you guys spill bunch of nonsense and talk about economics textbook in a game o.O when the problem is about exploiting weaker players. I think you’ve lost the track of the topic. I just expressed opinion i did not try to change the topic. You guys ran out of things to say. Things that you repeat all over this board. To which only the likes of you agree.

Soloing is not easier unless its a specific fight where newbies can make it harder for one experienced player by triggering certain attacks (lupi). Everything else is easier in a bad group because you essentially get 4 meat shields and aggro is shared.

Why are you so against people challenging themselves by soloing content? I think it would be a pretty good showcase of skill if you could 4-man a 50-man raid. And I like the idea of it being possible if the players are skilled enough. Restrictions like the cof p1 gate are just stupid.

I’m against people selling dungeon paths. Whether you do it solo or not is fine by me as long as you don’t rip users off. Have you ever considered that some of your “customers” do not feel confident and thus think that the only way to pass arah would be to pay someone off, not because they have gold in excess?

In this thread I’m obviously ranting against soloing dungeons, I’m not denying that but it’s only because it is the only thing that I consider would “fix” this issue.

And yeah, screw your marketing tips please, I’m selling my products well enough to have huge profits in real life. I don’t need that in my games. I play games to relax not to make a living of.

And btw, TP prices are not buffed enough. An exotic weapon weapon costs 2g while armors get more reasonable prices, so, Gw2 economy is cool and besides, you can go and farm just about anything.

P.S: How long before people start charging for world events and just about anything else, as it is in real life?

Edited by moderator

Now now there are good reasons why the exotic armor prices are so low, currently many people have or are in the process of leveling up their armor crafting for ascended armor, to do that they have to make exotic armor, many choose to go farther in their crafting discipline by selling off all of this new armor that they don’t need or want to get more gold to continue their higher level crafting, with so many people doing this it brings down the whole exotic armor market cause why would I buy an exotic berserker chest piece for 5 gold when I could get (an uglier crafted one in my opinion) for only say 50 silver. This makes it a good investment because you can see that the market has crashed but it is a market that won’t disappear, so it is bound to rebound. Hopefully this makes sense to you.

Weapons costing next to nothing and armors being costier is not a trend from yesterday. Hopefully this makes sense to you.

P.S: I’m using info from before the last patch. Frankly I haven’t checked the TP in a week or so (armors section at least) so I really have no clue how it is atm.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Stacking is an exploit, pls nerf. Dungeon tactics is an

When the boss has no way of damaging because of wall glitching, yes, that is an exploit. Blind?

spoj.9672:

So do you do the giant event on arah path4?

Sadly only with friends, by the time I get there it took me a good hour or more if I’m doing it with first timers.

Um, It’s not like you have much options in Gw2’s dungeons o.o"
It’s either you exploit, or you do it how its meant to be done, and skipping :U. The tricky part is to find the “how its meant to be done” and I’m confident that I’ve find out the right way of all PvE dungeon content including fractals without looking into guides. Although I haven’t done that alone, my experience with many pugs taught me that. I partied with some amazing players (for free, lol) when being a complete rookie even though I play since headstart (I started dungeoning a little late).

TLDR; Yes, I do listen to people, only if their suggestion seem better than mine and it’s not exploiting (hello ac p3 column stack). And if they want to exploit so badly, I just make it living hell to them ^^ Proud of it too

Yet another thread about someone who feels the need to force other people to live their lives (and play the game) the exact way they think is best.

I would say that these threads are tiresome, but clearly you have boundless energy.

Hm, nah. Stop being a broken radiostation, ok? I’m not telling you how to live your life. I’m not trying to tell them how to play they game either. What I am trying to say that all this dungeon sell fiasco is a huge overlooking by ANet to the point that the sellers are in fact abusing the new and/or less experienced players.

And to all of you that feel like repeating “since there are buyers there will be sellers” and stuff like that … tell me how you feel about taxes? Do you pay them because you have to or because you want to? For the sake of argument think about for the most people out there, not just you, its obvious some of you have quite screwed up moral systems.

You know what they say – “There are 2 certain things in life – death and taxes”. I do not consider either of them as fun experience As most other people do.

I am confused about a couple things.

The first is in the above post; what is the connection between selling dungeon paths and taxes? Taxes are required by the government to live in a certain municipality. Dungeon paths are voluntarily bought by people with more gold than skill.

I am also uncertain about your connection between 4 people talking at once in a dungeon and the commonly owned means of production.

The connection is that people are not giving this gold willingly, they are paying it because they know no other way. They think THIS is the way. It may be caused by the frequent kicks or the aholes that open a dungeon and leave right after the boss is killed before anyone could get to the chest. There are plenty of threads in this forum about that, i suppose they are paying because they want none of that, It’s quite frustrating. As you can see in those topics most people are anxious to start their own LFG, especially since some of them do not know the dungeon mechanics. And that’s just wrong. And that’s what the sellers are “exploting” (Not as in game exploit, thus the quotes)

It is a choice to buy the path; taxes are not a choice. To make a valid comparison you would need to find a good that many people want, but don’t need, and they purchase for more money than it might be worth; it would definitely be a luxury item. Maybe we could compare path sellers to yacht makers.

And I fail to understand your second paragraph. I think I explained myself above on why 4 other people giving out tactics and doing their own thing is bad for the team. Be more specific I guess

You said you were not a communist, and talked about 4 people talking at once. I don’t get the connection.

First paragraph – Apple™ iPhone (pun intended)

And well no. I was implying that for a team to work well there need to be a single person “giving the orders”. And I don’t want to sound like a communist here so thus the words ^^

I still don’t understand the connection between Communism and 1 person being in charge; that makes no sense. A better comparison would be a Monarchy, or a Dictatorship.

You need no look further than China

Lilith Ajit.6173:

It just seems to me that Raven wants to be the dungeon leader of all of his dungeons. The idea that anyone else gives opinions in a dungeon makes him uncomfortable. So when he runs dungeons he prefers to teach others (who likely won’t retain the information and will continue to plague our pugs), so that his way of doing the dungeon isn’t challenged, but is graciously accepted and he can feel good about his special snowflake white knight “talent”.

I gave a pretty hefty post in reply to your first one about why your assumption is wrong, I guess you skipped that. So I’ll skip yours after reading just the first sentence.

It’s not about ruining my fun. It’s because they make Gw2’s community look terribad. Name one other MMO that has dungeon path sales, because I’ve played a lot and I’ve never seen one MMO having dungeon selling as a thing or better put – way of earning gold.

You say that you like playing with newbies because they don’t run their mouths. What that tells me is that you don’t like to run with people who might “challenge your authority” as though you are some god among men in the dungeons, and that the only person who can possibly be right is you.

What this tells me is that this discussion is meaningless because you are so stuck up in your own beliefs that are false that nothing anyone can say will change your absurd vendetta.

Not really. People love doing dungeons with me. I’m quick and efficient and I’m joking all the way so its fun atmosphere. And I always take good ideas especially if we wipe. I’m just not okay with 4 other people all saying different things. Its confusing to say the least. I’m not a communist BUT when it comes to tactics and procedures there should be one at a time no?

Well I really liked the personal story, did every branch and twist with my and my girlfriend’s alts. The story guesting is sublime. Yet there could be more to the story, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. Honestly it was a blast my first playthrough. I couldn’t wait to gain the needed levels to pass on to the next story it was amazing. I always did stories 3-5 levels above me, surviving, a lot harder, yet it was awesome.

2. Are you going to request monetary reparations?
3. Have you seen the videos of TheMaskedParadigm killing bosses naked? It is obviously an exploit, he’s scaring them into submission!
4. Would you like to run Arah with me? I promise I will kill every single mob that infinitely spawns, and we can spend eternity in there together, just you and me…. And 3 others because if you can only kill things with 2 people it’s obviously a cheat.

If you can get back to me I’d be greatly appreciative. I really really have a thing for manly forum white knights like you <3

1. Not the slightest, if he’s using exploits he’s an kitten
2. I can take your gold if that’s what you’re offering
3. Done that too, it’s not really that hard
4. As long as you don’t skip Lupicus and you don’t do texture glitches or AFK fight abomination – sure, I love running arah, it’s on my daily checklist. Skipping trash mobs is cool. I just don’t consider lupicus a trash mob.

The path gets harder and your first concern is that the people who run the path with 1-2 people are really going to be the ones hurt by it? What about all those people who could barely do the path before, or the ones actually buying the path. Those people don’t have a chance of doing it if the path gets even harder, and why would they even want to try?

On the contrary. Now you will be forced to work together, as it was by design and not nickle and dime the weaker players! I’ve done Arah lots of times with first timers and with people who fail it a lot and they all say the same – “It’s actually not that hard”

So you see, show the people the ropes and they’ll do it.

And besides, after the Simin got nerfed some months ago there was barely any challenge left in Arah. I’m currently at work so I can’t test the changes yet, but some difficulty spike would be great

Well, Dwayna has been nerfed to hell. So don’t complain about it being easy now. Because there were massive crying outs in the forum before the nerf. At point you actually felt special for completing it. Now it’s just a time sink saddly. And I farmed this kitten!

Ravenmoon.5318:

Account bound!

Irrelevant distinction (I tend to think of “soulbound” as bound to the player anyway, not the character – which would be “character bound”, although some games do use “soul” to mean the character instead of the player controlling it).

The fact is tokens are supposed to be a reward for fighting your way through the dungeon, but in reality they’re just a reward for being in the party when the final pop-up appears, easily tradable through the LFG system.

Ravenmoon.5318:

nobody is forcing you to stack.

Actually, pretty much every player you meet in LFG these days is forcing you to stack, and guildies aren’t always available or interested in doing the same dungeons you are.

The fact that stacking is so advantageous shows how badly designed some encounters are.

Ravenmoon.5318:

Without stacking queen spider is a very challenging boss. You should try it

I have “tried” it. Dozens (possibly hundreds) of times, over one year ago, before the stackmania kicked in. And no, she’s not a very challenging boss. The only vague “challenge” is seeing which way she’s pointing when she decides to back 80% of her body into a wall.

Obviously from all that stacking you haven’t noticed that the boss has been updated alongside with the dungeon. But yeah, I’ll take your word for it…sure

Factotum.2093:

Like I said, i didn’t play for a long time (after they decided to add ascended gear and the agony resist grind).

I assume the reason why you don’t see people outside dungeons is they’re using LFG (which, by the way, gives a great picture of how sad dungeons in GW2 have become – it’s just people posting insults and selling supposedly “soulbound” tokens for gold).

easiest class to use that excels at every aspect of the game.

either warrior need more nerfs or other class need to be boosted up to the same level.

OR! You ACTUALLY need to learn 2 play your class!

This is Gw2 people. Anyone can beat anyone. You have no excuse!

PS: <3 slaughtering unsuspecting warriors with my thief _

So you’re denying that warrior is an easy class to play? Probably the easiest.

A full berserker warrior has less armor than well spec-ed thief. Maybe in PvE that is no brainer but once the warrior pops that endure pain he’s a goner.

Yes it’s easy class to begin with BUT it does have some advanced tactics which makes it hillariously powerful at times (like the stunlock warriors out there!) and it also has its weaknesses.

1 thing is valid through the whole game, if you are not careful, you will die. That applies to warriors-alike. Especially in PvP, where your opponent is actually trying to kill you with kitten nal of their own.

PS: And calling thieves cowards is a stupid thing to say. What … you want to be tanked by a thief or something? Preferably without dodges too? How about no armor? Geez….

idk man. I have all the mats for sunrise beside the precursor for few months now.

Nop, I’m not gonna make some lucker richier by ~700g.

Some people just have no clue which paths they have done before.

Calling people like Wethospu an elitist should be an insult. Either that or you don’t know the definition of an elitist. I’ve had interaction with him some months ago and he is an exceptional player.

An elitist is basically a prick that doesn’t accept failure. That’s not Wethospu, sorry.

I’m playing on a very high populated server and we never have temple of balthazar open, we fail tequatl almost always. Do you know why? Because people just don’t want to deal with it, they know they can just guest to a more orginized server and be done with it. NO SERVER LOYALTY whatsoever :|

People seem generally interested in doing frostgorge/queensdale trains and whenever I go there to ask for help I get all boo-ed and other unpleasantries

As many people would say, it really depends. Some months I find myself tossing 20 euro or more (constant subscription would be 15 euro in the Europe regions) on different kind of stuff. Sometimes i just make gifts. And there are those months that I don’t give a dime. But I’m generally trying to pay at least 10 euro every 2 months. Regardless if I need the gems or not. I just love ANet’s pricing policy and this is my way of showing support. It’s my opinion and I’m not entitling anyone with it.

Play the way you enjoy the game!

Buying gold from third party websites is clearly banned by Anet. Plus, it’s buying ingame currency with real world currency. It isn’t the same as exchanging ingame money for an ingame service.

Your comparison is simply bad.

Last time I checked exploiting was and it still is bannable offense. Doesn’t stop people from blaming ANet for being sloppy rather than, you know, play the game it’s meant to be played. kitten me right

Enaretos.8079:

In the end, what should be said in regards to all of this is :

People are farming Queensdale of Frostgorge and making money. Some people don’t like to do this, and some of them happen to be able to solo/duo dungeons

Thus if they need money they can solo/duo and sell a legit run. The blame, if there must be blame should be on those who buy, because the offer meets the demand (if nobody was okay with buying, nobody would sell).

On the other hand, there are people who kick others to sell or glitch through dungeons. This is lame and mustn’t be supported.

And that’s it. Nothing else to be said. Now if you don’t like people selling, nothing can be done, because while there are buyers, there will be sellers. and if someday people stop buying at current market prices, sellers will probably just sell at a price equivalent to path reward so it becomes a win-win situation…

You can draw a parallel between this and real life market situations : I make money but I’m not able to make a straw hat, so I buy one from someone who is actually able to make it…

So by your logic we should all go and buy game gold from chinese vendors and screw this all gem thing, right? Since there are obviously people who would buy that kind of crap o.O

I suppose we should start doing like we used to do it in Lineage 2 at end game.That is to have a constant party and forget about dealing with community bullkitten and kicks. People whom you can trust and have fun with.

This makes me sad. I had higher hopes for Gw2’s community

I’m not a control freak and I can solo Lupi. And you should really remove your pink-tainted glasses and look the dungeon sellers for what they really are.

Yes I know that some people generally solo the whole paths alone with 0 bugs and exploits I have friends that do this and in groups I usually run ahead to light WPs and whatnot, but selling dungeon runs is the lowest way of hoarding gold IMO.

IMO ANet should enforce team mechanics (like in CoF p3) in most dungeons, so you would be unable to continue solo. Upscale the dungeons for 5 players. After all dungeons ARE group content. Skipping kittenton of content solo because its easier is just plain-wrong.
