She’s our champion!
But seriously, I completely understand how business works and I really appreciate you putting yourself out there and explaining how your job works and answering those questions. It was very eye opening and I know you’ll do a great job and it sounds like you already are by communicating to the devs what we think.
I completely agree with this.
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind helping Allie rank up a bit.
Anyway, great job Allie answering all those questions, even the kittenes (1v1 for job thing). And great job on trying really hard and being immune to trolls. This definitely improved my opinion of you. Thanks for that.
What they made it sound like is: they are keeping the mats and armors until feature build
I like skyhammer. It’s my second favourite map after temple. It requires more skill than just standing on large mid point or zerging lord in the end or whatever. Also, there are many boon removals available so I don’t see why stability would be an issue.
Game mechanics are fine, they just need to actually make it more fun to compete. Better rewards, visible rankings, GW1 style observer mode that would show all top 100 matches, proper ladders and seasons.
It really doesn’t require too much effort.
I want proper leagues/seasons/rewards/show rankings in game.
I hope you don’t forget about engis since they don’t fit the meta same like eles.
You must be joking.
Not at all (Talking about Top25 tPvP – not some soloq/hotjoin bs)
Five Gauge somehow manages.
He gets to be in good teams.
Anyway, AR trait really should be reworked, and grenades should be less spammable.
you forgot that thieves have basically 0 survival outside of stealth or evades (depending on build); they also don’t have access to excessive CCs like certain classes do
Just like guardians have basically 0 survival outside of their skills and virtues, toughness and vitality
This happened few times in the past. Suddenly I have delay and bigger lag spikes in game. Tradepost and chat work perfectly without any delay. It affects all areas on the game (meaning pve wvw pvp). I’m euro playing on NA server.
When this happened in the past, it would get fixed after a day or two. Make it faster this time thanks.
I have never encountered any problem like this. OP are you sure it wasn;’t just a coincidence?
Let’s nerf thief so ele doesn’t have any real counter anymore?
What if you have a stack of each and just want to make 7 rams? How would you make that work? Only thing that comes to my mind would be a “craft all” button. So you either craft one or all of the things you want (it would work for anything).
Allie, what would motivate you most as a player to play PvP more actively?
For example: rewards, ladder, seasons, quaggans, etc.
Just your personal opinion, as a player and not as a dev.
Thanks
I’m on FA and I am quite sure that everyone wants to drop to silver league to have proper matches. So expect WvW on FA to be dead until season 2 starts.
Play the strongest build you can. Don’t care about whiners.
I haven’t encountered the problem that OP described. Maybe it was an isolated case? Each time I try players split pretty much evenly and event succeeds without any problem. Never under 6 minutes though.
Most of the fast kills so far have been with the bugged scaling.
Builds and classes might not require much skill, but positioning properly and tactics definitely do.
This would give me a LOT of ranks. However, I do not want it to happen. Things change, get used to it. If they would reward ranks why wouldn’t they reward dungeon gold retroactively? Or anything else.
Problem is that soft cap for every server is about 100 players or something. So overflows will usually have a hard time. And this is definitely overflow content.
Super adventure box.
If spirit ranger and hambow wars would get nerfed thief would be very op. Right now they are just strong but not op.
So how do we all rate the end of LS season 1

Gameplay wise I think the end of living story is very good. Knights + hologram fights are quite fun, as well as scarlet stomp.
I don’t care about the story.
Wow, talk about a thread filled with massive entitled whiners. You guys have no idea how hard it is to program a game, let alone an MMO.
Hard or not, it is their job and they should do it properly.
Personally, I don’t care much about bugs, but I had to quote you.
It’s a team vs. team and not individual vs. individual. Learn to work with a team.
Ele > lightning flash + mistform
Thiekittenhadowstep + haste
Ranger > qz (a bit harder)
Warrior > frenzy (a bit harder)
Necro > ghost walk thing (a bit harder)
Mesmer > summon 3 clones, blink and hit f4
Engineer > elixir S
Guardian > f3 for aegis
Those are easy ways of getting the quick stomp and an achievement if you need with any class. I’m sure there are guides that say similar things. Anyone can do this.
If you get experience for the kill then you should get the loot as well. This is bugged.
all you need is: character model quality > lowest
they said after the end of the living story season one they were gonna take a break to give out a lot of living quality improvements. maybe this is one of them.
Doubtful as any Anet dev that plays the game can always get into the main server so it doesn’t really affect them does it, I was stuck in OF for 7 hours yesterday, a friend guested over to my server was in the same OF and 10 mins later it popped for them to join main server, they did, and they where in the main server of my world not there own, so guests can get into main servers but people native to them worlds cannot, so I was stuck in an OF server hoping that events would get completed, ( as many others where too )
I hope whoever decided OF was a good idea no longer works for Anet, they should have stuck to the same design as GW1 where it become district 1, 2, 3, 4 etc that allows you to move.
I’m sorry that I have to say this but… you can’t travel to main server where you are guesting if you are in the overflow. It is not possible. (I’m talking about travel popup message) It will always either put you in other overflow or give you a network error.
You can go back any time through the portal in LA. You just have to have any version of spinal backpack thing.
Seriously ? Liberator of Lion's Arch chest

I wanted 100 gold and a stack of ectos from that chest. I didn’t get them
I think their whole relationship is just a product of lack of creativity. It was an easy way to write something “different.” But yeah… even now I have no feeling about those characters at all. They are not deep enough. I hope that Anet guys learned from all of this and will work on improving their writing skills.
The kiss was completely unnecessary and pushed. A hug would have been perfect for that situation.

It might be a cliche, but it’s really a pretty standard thing anyone would say in that situation. There is really no need for any other words. Just put yourself any situation like that.
I agree. This is so annoying. I don’t know why they don’t let us skip.
I live in EU and I play on NA server. I have no lag.
Rank has a lot of value. It provides you with cool finishers that could be shown in all aspects of the game. I think that hotjoin and custom arenas should not give any rank points at all.
That’s what they do all the time. And if there is another top team they will queue dodge each other. System is obviously flawed and I hope something will be done about this issue in the future. We have to force top teams to actually play against each other rather than just farming less experienced players all the time.
HAHA hope this is irony, warri change – NO, ranger fix – NO, diamond skin change or remove – NO, AR change or remove – NO
must be hard work done by arenanet GG
ALL IS VAIN
CC Danicia is not in charge of any of that.
I agree with OP, good moderation as well as good communication with community from CCD.
I don’t think those 2 games can be compared. They are completely different. I think that both games are great. I didn’t have a single complaint about GW1. However, I see so much more potential in GW2, I hope Anet will keep working on making it better and better.
In couple months wurm will be farmed on some certain servers without any organisation or voice communication at all, just like tequatl is on those servers.
Guys, stop picking on Justin. He is always active on forum and actually gives us his opinion instead of some standard formatted messages. You should respect that because it’s very, very rare to see from big companies.
Anyway, they obviously are working on improving PvP. Criticism is always good, but it should be more constructive than this.
When is super adventure box patch coming?
Temple, spirit watch and skyhammer maps are fine. Not much bunkering there and gameplay is a lot more dynamic. However, it is way harder and you have to adapt, and that is the main reason why so many people are crying about it.
Only problem with thieves is smoke powder. It should have way longer cooldown.
Just a quick note to let you know i am up to date.
I am assuming that you all feel that for example a Dredge rework is higher priority than say a rework to rolling?
Chris
Yes. Dredge fractal is the main reason why I haven’t been doing fractals for a long time. Just a thought of that fractal and knowing I would have to spend at least 40 minutes there (average skilled team on high level) completely discourages me. Honestly, if you will add some new fractals in the future you can just remove dredge now. I’m sure it won’t be missed.
Quaggans can’t jump.
I would actually be willing to translate all text and dialogues into my language (Croatian). However, that won’t ever happen due to rules and procedures that big companies have. And also, it would be very hard for them to verify how correct the translation is.
So yeah.. I live in Europe and I’m perfectly fine with English language and I don’t care about the game being translated into any other language (though I would do it personally just for fun) . O don’t see any valid reason why it HAS to be translate to Polish, or any other language. It would be something extra, nice to have, but seriously it’s not needed in any way.

42. There are just so many top teams playing against each other all the time and never queue dodging.
Let’s hope something good will come up from that CDI thread and there won’t be any need for sarcastic posts.
