Guild Wars 2

U just want to dream that your MF investment wasn’t completely useless and desperately want the game to be broken in your advantage Well good luck with that ^.^

PS. Devs don’t usually reply to stuff that has been said 1000 times, is described in the wiki, and almost all players confirmed It’s just u not accepting the truth.

I have 232 or 233 MF without any buffs. Buffed i opened almost double your boxes and didn’t get anything. Now tell me again how MF affects it Loot in this game is a lottery nothing more.

They have said numerous times that MF doesn’t apply to chests in PvE atleast over the course of 2 years now. Also the WIKI says the same thing. As someone linked above..i will quote from the wiki:

" Magic Find is both an account bonus and a character attribute that increases the chance to receive higher-quality loot from slain foes and from structured PvP reward track loot boxes.

It does not affect any other containers (including champion loot bags), any chests, or any other source of loot."

That’s all it effects. That anet post just confirmed what the wiki already says.

99% that only applies in PvP

MF and other stuff that effects MF has no effect on boxes of any type. It only effects monster drops.

which is also a bad thing in this case…i like what u did der’

Most likely a recap of the recapped recap of S1 recap followed by a quest to grind 50.000 rats for no reason and a glance at the bacteria on one of the teeth of the dragon, in complete darkness. ……u know..just to increase the hype before we get more gemstore sickles

Dunno if it’s present or not but ANet did mention the closer we get to certain parts of LS the more things will happen to the world. Exactly like the pre-sightings to karka…when suddenly whales appeared on the beaches of LA…stuff like that.

I am impressed it ended.

GW2 is exactly like game of thrones, except everything it offers.

New gemstore skins and sickles

if u dealt damage to a player (not necessarily downed)…u get the exp for it if he alt-f4s and i think even loot.

This also happens if player X jumps off a bridge and dies before u kill him.

Ever heard of “When u can’t beat them…join them”?

Maugrem.7608:

So there are characters out there who only come into instances to make everyone else’s play time miserable. I finally get a good pavillion group for gold runs and some guy comes into the instance and starts killing bosses when we are holding for burn. We have no recourse against these players, why? This seems so unfair to everyone else who are spending their time to coordinate these runs.

Can’t report because there are no functions to do so. Why Anet?

Sooo…u want to grief griefers

The problem is your rear end is so huge it makes everything clip around it. I don’t think there’s a graphics engine out there that can fix that.

Just templates for gemstore skins

New races requires work…..work is hard….. so let’s just do some more cantha skins for the gemstore.

You’re sick of them fixing the game? That’s new even for these forums.

Also the only way u would see a daily patch is if u didn’t login at all between last month’s patch and the 17th which were very small patches….then yea u can call it a daily patch.

These patches last less then 10 min to down/install&get ingame…so i am sorry about you have a 0.1$ internet connection. I think i found a pic of u trying to connect to the internet: http://studentwiki.icms.edu.au/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=evt111:group_4.2_feb09:tnt_aboriginal_redcentre.jpg

Why have proper tutorials when u can have a cash shop?

………priorities

/sarcasmoff

^Look at those links.

Now look at the link of the OP…it has “KiteCity2” in it so they are connected…means it’s about the Labyrinthine Cliff most likely.

It’s just an art that didn’t make it. Looks awesome tho.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

“2) Tune the game’s instruments to be in the same key.”

This is not how instruments work. Different instruments are set in different keys intentionally.

Shhhhhhhhhh! don’t spoil the fun with common logic. I just made myself popcorn!

As i said many times…temporary monthly or bi-weekly content is a very strong point of GW2 and should never go away AS LONG AS it’s treated as an intermediate/buffer content between major permanent expansions.

If ANet only offers us temporary/semi-temporary content as a norm and don’t throw in a real expansion….all the hard work put in these events will be almost for nothing. U can finish these events in less then a few hours playing medium-casual. It’s just not enough to satisfy ppl specially considering the time u have to wait till the next thing.

So..Living Story should be the “fluff content” that leads to a major expansion. They are doing it partially right.

Real problem is spoiling EVERYTHING like they used to…and not necessarily through trailers but through the patch notes prior to the patch or the visible achievement details which could tell u exactly what was going to happen.

The solution is not completely negating any info but also not completely giving out almost all info. ANet has gone from one extreme to another and extremes are never good in any situation

The solution is somewhere in the middle. But this discussion is not necessarily about the amount of info they give u through trailers…but about the quality of that info.

In the words of a great man that sadly passed away but seems to have set a new toxic trend globally for all companies.

“It’s not that the trailers are bad….u just don’t watch them correctly”

Personally, each time i see an ANet trailer….the content reminds me of everything i hated previously about their events thus making me not wanna play their future content. Just when i was a bit hyped about July 1…they drop a recap bomb that makes me go “…oh kitten i actually played that abomination…….meh…..sad times”

The rewards work….it would have been a good idea to put some clear instructions in the mail tho.

- When u login u receive through mail the 100 BONUS tickets.
- To get the other tickets u won via participating at the tournament you have to go to any WvW map, talk to the rewards NPC (usually he is in the middle of the area just in front of where u teleport).
- When u talk to him, the very first option is to check if u are eligible for tickets. Hit that and a chest will appear just like for dailies.

I agree….but first they have to fix server population issues. I mean u being a T1 server and being randomly matched vs a Tover9000 server on which there’s a bigger moa population the player population in wvw ….would make it a 1 sided win in which both servers are bored after max the weekend reset when ppl invest a lot because of free time.

Right now the difference between T1 and any other T is so huge it’s almost comic. This actually applies to all tier differences not just T1.

But again i fully agree…i am bored as f*** of wvw.

Why remove? They can make a code that replaces T3 charr armor for example with T3 asura armor by checking the race the moment u click “ok” on the change. Replacing armor = replacing a few lines of code in your personal 1-2 kilo file on the server. Nobody would complain.

Definitely not saying it’s easy….specially after seeing the WvW rewards fiasco…but again it’s something that can definitely be done….and financially for them definitely worth it and another cashshop thing to brag as a marketing team for future buyers.

Keep in mind they can already mass-delete items from your inventory (aka the today patch which will remove old wvw reward tokens received, replacing them with another amount)….so the tech behind it (mass searching…finding…deleting…replacing) is already there and is already being applied….and we are talking about mass simultaneous changes vs 1 person change

No…i am not the one asking for this feature if u haven’t payed any attention. I instead don’t like ppl who come here with minor (really minor….so minor i had to scroll up and read again because o forgot them) excuses for a feature not to be made….like “omggrrrd” what would the RPers do…what would the poor little lost NPCs do…but what about the armor u wear..i mean if it’s cultural you are set for life man..you..your kids..your grandkids..u cannot escape the T3 armor. Seriously? Can u invent more good excuses like those?

The feature can definitely be made.
The feature would actually bring them money.
The feature is not important at the moment (that is another story) and personally don’t want to see it before they fix important stuff in their game like for example…..their whole game.

My post wasn’t me agreeing with the need of such a feacture as much as it was about ppl who come here and comment pure truth…because this is the internet….obviously….we are all experts on the internet.

Who cares what it breaks as long as the person who plays it feels good about his own character? U think ppl will actually spam-change races if it cost 1600 gems/change?

U said it yourself. There is already a way to make another race……by deleting…remaking..releveling…loosing bag slots and so on…so why not make it easier for a price? Not to mention u lose account bound items which may be crafted…which may be ascended..and which may take up to an year to fully make or legendaries.

I bet u anything if u are in the position of having a character u invested a ton in but just want to change the race of it just so u can have a different feeling in the game, u would pay even 2000 gems in a heartbeat compared to loosing the work u invested (and do NOT want to reinvest/farm like crazy) for 1-2 years of your life.

It’s like going into a huge path link on your computer to get to an .exe instead of just using a shortcut.

A game that is advertised as being a medium difficulty game, but requires more draconic and strict coordination of ppl who don’t know eachother…and never practiced with eachother on servers that generate random ppl with different skills , motivations OR time to play the game and on top of that rewards that not are even close to making ppl care about actually giving a kitten about the event itself.

I gotta say it’s priceless.

People..animals…plants….nothing on this planet has ever been, or will be born equal. Equality is an excuse for lazy people to not work and get to the standard/level of the one who he doesn’t consider to be an equal of OR to not accept that they are different which means not necessarily equal. It means u are better at things that the other person isn’t. Different =/= bad..but most don’t understand that not even on their dieing bed.

The person who works/invests more time…gets more shinies. This rule applies real life also.

Both u and the guy who is in front of u started from the same level (1). If someone was already 80 when u started at lvl 1, in 90% chances he will always be in front of u for obvious reasons…and that is not a bad thing. This gives u a target..something to work for/strive for. This applies IRL also.

So stop being lazy and expect things to be handed to u for free (in this case game time between u and the other player). When he was doing achievement points in GW2 u were doing something else he wasn’t.

U are given both the same tools&chances. U can’t ask for more then that.

Guild wars isn’t about guild wars. Read the lore and u will know.

….and no….i am not trolling u.

There have been enough CDIs with enough good ideas given by the community (the ones related to WvW) that have yet to be applied. Why have another?

We already gave all our ideas. We are waiting for them to be applied. Another CDI won’t increase the speed.

not a good ideea. Would force PPT hoarding and low servers will always..literally always get bones..claws and spikes as loot because they simply don’t have the numbers to have ppt.

Good way to fix it…purge tickets that were wrongfully given (in numbers) in some cases and giving a compensation.

What i would like to see is stuff like this not happen again specially when having 2 months of just offering a working rewarding system. Altho i say it is a good ending to a fiasco of negligence i again say…this problem should NEVER in any possible circumstance happen after having the game released for more then 2 years and also passing through a similar problem a few months ago.

The rage u saw on the forums was piling up because of things like this….and is entirely your own doing. Nobody wants to waste gameplay time to come spam forums u know that right?

“Are there red posts about the season 1 issue saying they will and have fixed the issue?”

Does it matter in any way as long as ppl haven’t received their rewards since december and the same issue appears now? What kind of question is that? Yes there were red posts about the rewards and how they will fix them back in december or whatever. I was one of the lucky ones that got the reward back then….because actually getting rewards for anet’s events is luck based lately.

Even if there warn’t….do u consider it normal to not fix the bug if no red post is made? I honestly don’t understand that question one bit. By your logic..not posting as a red in an overflooded thread about an issue, makes it allright if it doesn’t get any fix. That’s pretty hardcore thinking. Are u trying to get hired by ANet or something?

Asuras are the new dwarfs

I fail to see the funny.

Yes….as mounts and mount jokes.

And this right here……proves how bored GW2 players are.

Either Largos or Tengo..these are the only possibilities we currently know off.

Norn is the equivalent of Kodan.
The rest of them like centaurs…that will never happen. It’s the exact same as asking for wasps to be a playable race. Those are just random trash mobs.

Releasing the game to the customers that actually matter…China. We are officially now the beta testers for China.

The world of Tyria dramatically changes from the ground up giving u the impression u actually matter…but after 2 weeks everything comes back to the way it was on release day. Very dynamic.

In Season 2 they said more permanent content will be added with each story..so expect to see additional rocks and trees pop up on the map as a result of your epic involvement in an continually changing world. Your decisions matter.

It’s nothing like wow…wow has a noob system that makes your epic decisions have a permanent impact on the world. WoW doesn’t have the regenerative capabilities of Tyria to heal itself every single time to the state it was on day 1 release. That’s how technologically advanced Tyria is.

HC players are the ones that bring in $$ long-term..so it’s only logical that u cater to them and not 1 month players ^.^. Also HC players who put in a lot of h in the game know the game better then any casual player..so they know what sides are lacking and which not and what needs to change in most cases.

ANet is a business…and a business will always do whatever it has to bring in $$. That means listening to the players that actually play the game and invest in it. Their vision doesn’t go beyond their bills. There will always have to be a mutual relationship between what they want and what we want in order to keep both the game and the community healthy.

As for the landing in the middle of an extremely nasty stewing pot…excuse me but i don’t think anyone wants to come here and post bugs instead of enjoying the game. U keep pointing out the wvw fix when in reality ppl are frustrated with the amount of infuriating bugs that pop up and just keep on piling up (NOT-JUST-WvW) with ANet not seeming to learn their lessons from the past very well or not figuring out how to prevent future issues properly (in this example i can use season 1 rewards that some ppl didn’t receive even now).

If u feel we are going overboard please just go and enjoy the game…but always keep this in mind. Every bit of progress that was made on this game since the start and all the upcoming fixes u see them do is purely because of ppl that QQ on the forums enough times that they take it into consideration.

Nothing ever comes from constantly telling them “hey your game is the bestest evur”. That only gives them a reason to never improve anything. On the contrary..as a developer u 80% of times skip any message that tell u how good of a job u did and instead concentrate on the negative posts that (some of them) might help u improve and create something better.

As long as u flower power ppl have this in mind..u can go enjoy the game as u want let us crazy players handle things ^.^. On the long run..you ruin your personal gaming experience by coming here and reading. Why do that? :P

If you enjoy the game so much u should be inside playing it. Not checking forums. The moment u start checking forums, means u have no reason to play.

i definitely know their work doesn’t work ^.^

Keep on pooping rubies :P

^blatant speculation

Never said it was….but we are in week 2 now and is a problem that they encountered in S1 also this is not a first time for them (experience wise). They needed to make a backup system for this one. If they already had a backup system (which i doubt) …then that’s sad. Would mean 2 fails in a row.

The more systems u have that are automatic and communicate between eachother in the same manner…..the more chances u will have it will break and when it does it will be a huge problem to fix.

This whole system as i personally see it should have been like this:
1. Have the ingame mailing system which already sends us letters whenever something related to LS happens, send us the rewards..not some chest. U overcomplicate things
2. That mailing system (which can be set up manually in case of backup) send u an item, in this case tokens depending on 2 factors:
- Server placement at the end, which can be manually introduced at the end..it’s a 10 min thing to just set up first spot, second spot, third spot and “the rest” / region if u have a decent interface…and by decent i mean anything that was made after year 2000
- Check who finished the meta. This is where complications could appear depending on how badly it’s coded to check. A way to check this that comes to mind is to just scan ppl and see if they got the Season 2 TITLE (not necessarily in use). That automatically means they finished the meta regardless of what pops on your screens.

Done…

I mean i am no expert……but anything that relies heavily on automatism will in 90% of cases fail miserably if u don’t have a solid backup system put up. If they had a semi-manual way to send rewards, this would have been fixed long ago IMO.

…this is something i fought about in 1-2 min….it might be flawed. The message was about automatism not about a clear solution. I am not payed to give them solutions for their issues.

@Gilgalas … in case u didn’t know..there are still ppl who haven’t received their rewards from season 1 wvw. It’s not about the rewards themselves..it’s about bugs that should never see daylight and the absurd amount of time it takes to fix them….and bugs for different core features still pile up for months.

Ppl don’t qq in mass about small bugs……but they will and i personally encourage them to do it for big bugs.

As u are amazed about how easy some ppl complain…me in my turn am also amazed at how easy the title of AAA game is given and how low some ppl’s expectations have become according to the title’s level. It’s like giving a 3 star hotel a 5 star based on hype and then defending it with “..hey look…..u payed for a hotel room and u got it (same price). It has doors that open and close…it has rooms u can sleep in…u are just greedy. And what if kittenroaches flood u in the toilet…just give them time they will fix it.”

…so let’s just agree to disagree.

Your understanding skills are questionable at this point.
