Guild Wars 2

From the other thread.

I have tried Teq post buff and I can give this opinion now.

Teq is in an okISH place.

He is beatable, but it has a very low error allowance. Meaning that there can be very few people goofing around or AFK during the fight. We had 3 mins left on our map and we were mostly all there (a few lazy idiots not using the WP but whatever).

The problems mainly started during the “burn” phases after he was shot down by the megalaser, that is when Teq’s new HP buff start to show, he CANNOT be burned down to immediate fly off again (although extremely coordinated groups might be able to pull this off). This causes his overall timer to tick down ever closer to the danger point.

Overall, he may need a little bit of tweaking to fit an open world boss, or at least make the reward a bit more consistantly good, but he isn’t ungodly unkillable.

DarkWasp.7291:

After you’ve done Teq 400+ times, you really can’t ever think, “Wouldn’t it be great if we had more first battery phases at 7:00 and less at 11:00?”

I mean if you really want to fail after wasting a significant portion of your life, you could ask that they bring back the Scarlet Invasion events so you can sit around in a zone having your win-attempts ignored in map chat by an overwhelming horde of champ farmers. That event lasted 45 minutes and failed pretty much every time. It sounds just perfect for this thread.

>Champ and Chest Farming trains that goon people trying to do events

The true nasty

If they want to keep the difficulty level near where it is now, then at least guarantee an exotic drop from it upon success.

An open world boss event shouldn’t need tons of jumping, taxing and basically manipulating the megaserver system just to have a CHANCE, we already have that with Triple Trouble and quite a large number of people skip that boss because of the large ammount of organisation effort required INCLUDING said manipulation of the system, for not enough chance of good loot.

TT was already on my “Don’t give a monkeys about” list because of the extreme effort required to get into a proper map for so little reward chance, now Teq is going to be joining it if this is the reality.

and the segregation of the community continues….

Lock this thread, please, I’m begging you mods, that first Sya thread was bad enough, now this.

This is not “game” discussion.

It’s happening again…it’s happening AGAIN….not another thread like this.

VolOpt.4963:

I know I’d certainly be more interested in native Linux support. If it wasn’t for the lack of compatibility with most of the games I play I wouldn’t even bother with Windows.

The biggest hurdle would be going from DX9 to OGL and to be honest OGL has been somewhat neglected over the years :/

With DX12 on the horizon, it’s going to be even worse for OGL…….I’m not complaining on that front though!

You can argue the point that condi damage takes a bit longer to pump out, while crit builds (not power) can do it far quicker and immediate.

But yeah, condi damage does have that massive benefit.

On a similar note, it would be handy to see the auto attack chain skills, like the 3 hit of each weapon.

Isn’t that visible when you mouse over the skill?

Yeah I know that.

IT’s more so for my newbie friends benefit than mine, I know them.

minbariguy.7504:

None of the characters in-game are complaining about her, there is no storyline about transgender issues. NONE of what you are claiming to be bothered by is actually IN THE GAME.

Then why is the character’s choice “brave”? Why not “Oh nice” or “Hope it works for you” or “So how about Lion’s Arch?”

’Nuff said.

And now I resort to my favourite past time to purge my compulsive posting on this thread…..Top Gear.

GuzziHero.2467:

Okay, to the anti-Syas, I ask this.

I am a biological male. I am gender neutral. I have neither masculine nor feminine traits, in fact I simply cannot relate to strong male traits at all (or to female for that matter).

I play females in game because a. I find them less threatening and b. I can escape what we used to call my ‘mun’ and be someone I cannot hope to be in real life. Basically, I identify as female in character when I play a female character. (I would never use this to actually deceive anyone offline).

Since I am biological male, would you deny me the right to play a female character? Would you like it if players’ accounts were tied to their offline identity and you were only allowed to play a character that matched your biological gender?

NO, I would not deny you that right, I don’t judge you based on it, what I take from you is….

1. Your personality and what hits my chat bar
2. Your ability to not throw down guardian fields when we are might stacking in a fire field. (basically, how well you play)
3. If we are on the same map or not.

Straight, LGBT, does NOT play a factor in ***ANY*** of these things.

As for that above post about locking/purging/burning this thread, SECONDED.

Sarevok.2638:

Fact is, that making yourself seem like you must receive special notice/recognition because of this one NPC’s aspect is just having the opposite effect, people are seeing you wanting special attention just because of something like that, something which isn’t even a real factor in the game. This NPC should be part of a narrative, a part of the world we are in, this one aspect of them which to be frank isn’t even a major factor in the story, shouldn’t be the end all. But the gushing that is going on is getting noticed for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

Are you directing that at me, specifically? My only comment about the NPC itself is that it’s a small part of the game and has no bearing on any story in the game. It’s a nice gesture, but nothing about me is tied to the acceptance or denial of this character. And my comment that you quoted was, indeed, about real life which the person I was quoting was also referring to.

No not really, it was to the people gushing over the NPC, it just broiled over into my overall post because well, reading this makes me need an outlet. My bad, I’m not terribly good at large posts, my mind just goes on a train and my hands note the journey.

You are right, it is a small NPC, no overall bearing on the story, but the knock on effect it has had because of this one thing…..BLARGHDFGFDGFD………

Dashingsteel.3410:

Trying to compare lgbt to race is ridiculous

Totes. People of color have been (and still are) subjected to horrific torture, murder, injustice, etc. It’s not like gay, bi, or trans people have to worry about being tortured or murdered just for being gay, bi, or trans. And it’s not like lgbt people are ever discriminated against or have slurs shouted at them. Completely different!

/sarcasm

Ok, I’m getting pretty ticked by this.

And why should this be brought into this VIDEO GAME, why? It’s a form of ESCAPISM, enjoyment, FUN. Those themes are not fun, they are horrendous harsh realities and are being brought into the game by the very people complaining about them because they think this minor NPC sends a message.

Fact is, that making yourself seem like you must receive special notice/recognition because of this one NPC’s aspect is just having the opposite effect, people are seeing you wanting special attention just because of something like that, something which isn’t even a real factor in the game. This NPC should be part of a narrative, a part of the world we are in, this one aspect of them which to be frank isn’t even a major factor in the story, shouldn’t be the end all. But the gushing that is going on is getting noticed for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

We aren’t ignorant to the problems there are in reality, oh hell no we aren’t. I for one however do not want to have to have these fog the game itself, it’s not a platform for these issues and it shouldn’t be, this is GUILD Wars 2, not PRIVLEDGE Wars 2. People aren’t intentionally out to give you grief or feed these real world issues into your face.

As I mentioned in a previous post the fact the NPC’s dialogue should we engage with it forces us to say without choice that they are “brave” for their choice just reeks of self congratulatory and vanity over an aspect which should just be as natural as can be, especially when this is a video game. Nobody should be more special than any other from that aspect, people’s recognition in universe and out should be on the quality of their character. The message that character should be sending is that they feel life is too precious and short and they need to seize the day, do what they feel is right. Not WHAT they did, WHY they did.

I apologise if I’m getting gradually more aggressive in tone over the the thread but this is one issue I’ve been facing in the gaming world day after day and I’m not going to name the groups responsible more for attributing to that, but I’m sure we know who they are. It’s utterly mindboggling.

On the other side of the fence, some of the harsher jokes toward the LGBT community is just childish, it certainly isn’t helping matters and only fuels the need for them to put this issue forward and there is really not much more to be said other than…grow up.

I’d love to see this issue as a whole put to rest, not BEING an issue again and we can just focus on something like balance changes, why Tequatl is now brittle as a dry noodle, than this sort of thing. I don’t log in for these things and I’m sure plenty others of whatever camp don’t either, this may be in one thread for now, don’t risk it blowing over.

I get the feeling many people here should be listening to a few of Sargon of Akhad’s youtube videos.

That is NOT it and is a very dangerous viewpoint to take.

Care to elaborate? In what way is my viewpoint dangerous?

Edit to add: Look at the posts directly above and below me (by Rukhas and Sogradde respectively, in case these posts are deleted later). I rest my case.

Let me put it this way, until Fallout 4 had it clear that you could customise your character, certain people saw it as bigoted and forcing you to play a white male, going against allowing openness simply because the protagonist used a voice in the trailer. Leadng to an absolutely stupid string of comments all over twitter, getting in the way of the fact, it’s Fallout 4!! There was nothing wrong with the trailer at all, certain people with this kind of topic in mind started spewing their venom simply because they didn’t feel it suited them.

I do not want this kind of hostility and debate eclipsing what’s important in this game, saving Tyria from the elder dragons. I don’t have anything against such groups but it’s not what a I log in for! That’s why that kind of viewpoint is dangerous, it’s hostile to the atmosphere we’ve had since launch where nobody thought about these things and we all just got on as normal. If that viewpoint starts making it’s way outside the thread to other things where it has no relevancy, then we are on a dark path. There are always going to be people with certain nasty views on it, it won’t change in a day, but lets not counter it by treating anyone else who doesn’t want to make this a bigger issue with hostility. It may have seemed like a knee jerk post I made at about….4am (I think), but it simply rung in with the attitude I’ve come to lothe from certain types in the bigger contraversies outside because of all the asinine trouble it creates. Nothing against you personally.

Look at this thread and wonder “How long is this going to keep going?” When this thread is gone, I hope everyone will just return to that surrounding what we log in for, the game. I am indeed looking through the thread and hoping this kind of debate NEVER rears it’s ugly head again! We’re all people/players!

sorry a very minor NPC is keeping you from killing a dragon. maybe your gear is underleveled?

No, all the people I would be fighting alongside are too busy bickering about an NPC is what it is.

Oh, SNAP.

But then I’m also hoping that Anet will explore the interspecies love triangle that is inevitable between Braham, Rox and Taimi in Season 3.

coso.9173:

-“It’s a political agenda”: Is every straight character in a game a political agenda as well? Why would only lgbtq characters be part of an agenda while straight characters are not?

Let me refer you to the dialogue of the character. When they tell you about their choice, what is the player’s response, and ONLY response.

“That’s brave”

Really…? That’s brave? I would have never have noticed this had it not been pointed out but after a little looking around I can see why people are getting concerned. It’s self-congratulatory. The fact the player is given ONLY THAT option just reeks of vanity that they are seen as brave for THAT choice. What about all the other things this NPC has done, that I would indeed recognise as brave. This is why the agenda stuff is coming up.

This one factor wouldn’t be an issue if another dialogue choice was given to say that’s nice and move on, a simple friendly acknowledgement because you don’t RELATE to that character, whereas people who DO relate to that one can pick the current option and get dialogue linking back to give their own character implicit ingame identity like that from this NPC. THAT would have been the best way to handle it if we want to try to give that choice from the NPC that much exposure.

Again: I HAVE NOTHING against this character, or people can relate to that character, I am simply trying to point out why these things are coming up. Of course, the easier thing is to just ignore it

Kitta.3657:

Also your comparison to Logan/Jennah is illogical. Transgender is not a sexual orientation.

Granted, a bit illogical because I’ve implicitly been linking it to the debates that have been taken outside the game, and those debates turned really nasty, into wars over social media (THAT I AM PRETTY SURE I’VE MADE CLEAR I WANT TO AVOID HERE), my bad. I was trying to make the point that things like this were not brought up before and everything was much better.

Kitta.3657:

It always has to be about me me me and me it seems.

Except nobody was making a big me me me deal about NPCs and this style of choice be it straight or lgbt until this one decided to make it explicit! Then all of a sudden, this kicks off! When the topic of Logan and his thing for Queen Jennah was being discussed, it wasn’t over the fact he was straight that was the topic of discussion, both from the IN GAME characters and players talking about it! Oh no, there was plenty more to talk about.

That statement is HIGHLY hypocritical!

I hope Anet close this thread, never make this a big deal again so this ugly issue doesn’t rear it’s head again, seeing this even got to 8 pages I feel like getting a new mouse mat with “Bang Head here” on it! It ruins everything for everyone.

Dashingsteel.3410:

Only one side of the debate was asked to be respectful.

Maybe that’s because the motivation of one side of the debate is to defend the rights of people to live their lives free of harassment or judgement, while the motivation of the other side of the debate is simply to defend the rights of people to harass and judge them? The two sides are not ethically equivalent.

Just a thought.

That is NOT it and is a very dangerous viewpoint to take.

Bloodstealer.5978:

That’s pretty awful I totally hear that… I guess the question that comes to mind for me is.. if that can and does happen in RL why then would we all want that to creep into something we’re likely sitting at home playing away from reality as well, I don’t think I would look forward to logging in so much for sure.

Think you put it into plain english better than I can right now, hah, the joys of staying up.

ASP.8093:

But, actually in reality, being LGBT does make you “visible” and a lot of the attention you attract — especially as a trans man or woman — is negative. Even if strangers on the street don’t know your orientation or past history, lots and lots of people involved in your life do, and trans folks routinely encounter discrimination, abuse, and violence as a result.

A bit of positive visibility, even if it’s rather tokenistic, can be a nice little balm. There’s literally no downside.

Besides, total invisibility is just erasure.

(deep breaths, this might prove a bit unpopular…)

This…ISN’T…reality. This is a game, where those kinds of choices shouldn’t and DON’T affect your ability to play.

There is a little bit of visibility in the game, I have no issue with that, the NPC has identified themselves as such, fine, all good, now where is the next fractal run at? Tyria has races, there is plenty of acceptance and, look at Lion’s Arch. There are conflicts with these races, look at seperatists in Ascalon. It’s hardly being invisible about it, it just filters them into a gameplay context and with HoT coming out the Sylvari are going to get it in SPADES.

The reason we have people coming into the threads with these concerns about “agendas” is because they have a fear that this kind of thing could start to have too BIG a focus on the game because it shouldn’t affect play.and we have the “You Know what” fisaco to thank for that, people with agendas getting into other gaming situations. I AM NOT SAYING THIS THE CASE HERE, it is merely to help clarify why we have some rather stark attitudes in the thread and believe me, I find it terrible that such concerns should exist in the first place.

It’s getting a bit late and hard to express ones self appropriately, think I’ll end it there for now.

Swizzle.7982:

dom.2748:

Because if you want us to think “Oh, its just another person” Then there shouldn’t have been a point to point at that shes transgender to begin with.

But that would only happen if binary genderedness wasn’t assumed in advanced, which it is. Society isn’t at that enlightened point where people are just people yet.

Sarevok.2638:

They have that choice about their lives, let them get on with it, don’t hoist them up for everyone to judge. The only thing about this topic i can say is “The Road to hell is paved with good intentions” while people want to celebrate this NPC, it is only having the knock on effect of bringing these differences up and making them more visible when in reality, it shouldn’t be! It’s the opposite effect of what the end desire is!

Saying “well if they’re just people why even mention it!” is sort of missing the point. It would be like saying, well black homosexual women are equal to white heterosexual men so if we only show white heterosexual men on TV what does it matter!

It’s about people being people, unique but facing the same struggles and challenges as other people by virtue of being fellow human beings, not about everyone being the same.

And besides, it’s not as if this NPC is going “HEY LISTEN! IM TRANS!”, they simply mention they used to be called symon after your character asks “Have we met before?”. But I dunno, maybe what I consider a simple conversational exchange is a celebratory pedestal to you.

I’m saying that people can be different, not be judged on whatever differences and just let the day flow on, I certainly don’t think about these differences!

It’s not the NPC that is going HEY LISTEN about it indeed…

Swizzle.7982:

Hopefully one day threads like this won’t exist, people will see a transgender npc in a game and just think “oh, there’s a person” and that’ll be it. That’s why characters like this, and Kasmeer and Marjory, Taimi and others are important.

But this is also why we shouldn’t make that aspect of them so prominant and not put these differences to the forefront of discussion.

They have that choice about their lives, let them get on with it, don’t hoist them up for everyone to judge. The only thing about this topic i can say is “The Road to hell is paved with good intentions” while people want to celebrate this NPC, it is only having the knock on effect of bringing these differences up and making them more visible when in reality, it shouldn’t be! It’s the opposite effect of what the end desire is!

That’s why I implied in my earlier post that there should be no need for this.

I didn’t want to chime in again but since I had more time to think about this….

I’d rather not see this kind of pedastal be erected, nor a NEED for it to be put up. Why? Because at the end of the day the NPC is just another person that shouldn’t have this aspect of them be the end of all who they are. There’s that one episode of Saved by the Bell (god showing my age here) where one girl in a wheelchair is constantly given recognition and being called up in because she can handle her condition to the point where it eclipses that she has her own personality and life. That stuck in my head pretty well thinking about all of this.

Would Sya be feeling this way if she saw all the attention one of her personal choices was getting simply because she chose to bring it up? There are plenty of NPCs in the world, some may have these kind of choices in mind but simply not chosen to bring up to the player because it’s not what they want to make their point of interaction with everyone. Sya has a job to do you know!

Everyone has their choices, everyone is getting along, you all play with each other with all your differences and never has this topic been at the forefront of our enjoyment of the game nor has it even forced onto us. However now with this topic coming up at a very bad time following controversy outside the game, it’s risking hitting up further with this bad timing and it’s unfortunate, had this happened about 2 years ago, this probably wouldn’t exist, or at least instead be a topic of “So Mesmers can do more than let themselves go about without any ACTUAL clothing on?”

Let’s take…Kasmeer for example, that relationship she has going? A part of who she is, yes, it was made a little bit too to the front for a while. But I actually like her, why? Because she was the one who stood by us and teamed up with her good ol “Boss” against Scarlett in her final standoff when the others couldn’t. She was the “Maya” to my “Phoenix” at that noble party in DR when we were trying to find the source of lies impacting our mission. I’m aware of who she is, but at the end of the day, she’s a comrade, and quite the attractive one speaking as a guy.

Why should this whole thing even be an issue? Yes, they’ve had an NPC identify themselves to the player. Lets not make a big issue of it, for OR against. Because that’s how it should be. I’d rather not have this kind of topic brought up again, Tyria is already highly inclusive, look at yourselves, you play together! Like those kids in LA that play together despite their differing races! Charr and Human were killing each other in GW1, here their young are friends!

Now I’m out. I hope it came out ok, tis a bit late here. Let’s just get along.

Main reason I like them (and want the GS/Sword) is because they are the closest we’ve had to the Gothic Sword from GW1, the sword my warrior used to use.

There are people who DON’T just eotm train up? :o

It will be visible during beta in the wardrobe panel, and available when HoT goes live. You can’t see it at the moment because we are not on HoT beta and you are still currently playing the core game without the HoT updates.

This, it is in your account wardrobe, don’t worry.

Aerlen.5326:

The point is – this should all be normal, not a ‘hot button topic’, not ‘political’. Do you see how normal her transition is treated in game by your character? That is how it’s supposed to be treated and thought of in society. The problem is that the people in power have made LGBTQA+ a political issue for their own reasons when it’s as much of a ‘political’ thing as being heterosexual is.

This.

So this.

Sarevok.2638:

Maybe this is a knee jerk reaction to the absolutely insane damage teq now takes from conditions, he goes down in a quarter of the time it took before.

proof that it is due to conditions as opposed to the 20-30% direct damage increase? or just trying to get conditions nerfed because you don’t like them?

I have nothing against conditions, hell I like how a little variety is coming into the zerker meta.

Maybe this is a knee jerk reaction to the absolutely insane damage teq now takes from conditions, he goes down in a quarter of the time it took before.

Sorin.4310:

It’s only a hot topic because bigoted people are trying to push that’s it not normal and should be stopped. The LGBT community would love it if everyone could just say “ok were cool with that and accept it” and we could stop talking about it in every political debate.

Also, just as others have pointed out, you’ve said “I support it” then made claims directly not. It’s extremely insulting to say “I’m cool with it but I don’t want to see it here”. Taking no side is almost as bad as taking the wrong side.

There is nothing bigoted about wanting a game to remain at the forefront, a game.

That being said, this minor npc change is not threatening that, but that’s all it should remain, the moment these kind of things become a selling of the game, we have a problem.

At the moment, the only problem there is are paranoias and overzealousness toward these views.

I think this is the last point I’ll post here because these topics tend to get quite nasty quickly if they continue too long.

jesters.9406:

Chrono.6928:

i don’t really get it… nothing against the lgbt community, have several friends who are, and legally i think they should have more rights, but why the need to put hot topic issues in a fantasy video game? In a game about unity and fighting dragons just seems like a good way to stirr up controversy and have more religion debates in trade chat and can see otherwise good people who just happen to have a religious belief getting banned just for having a discussion (even if in a polite/friendly manner)

why not put obama or hillary flyers up, or crosses or other religious symbols ingame too? Thought the whole point of a fantasy video game was to escape reality.

bunny trail but… why do voters even care about social issues atm when we are billions or trillions in debt atm in the usa. everything else seems kind of irrelevant in comparison to the giant problem that isn’t going away.

again (just to make it clear and i dont get banned for even posting this lol) i support the agenda, but I don’t get the need for it in a game. let the politicians and preachers fight in real life, ingame i just want to fight dragons and talk in trade chat without debates.

In my experience, anything that starts with “nothing against the lgbt community” is probably going to be against the lgbt community, just like anything that starts “nothing against black people” is probably going be racist.

I always hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I wasn’t this time, and I doubt I will be the next time either. :’)

I think he feels like he doesn’t mind it, but doesn’t want the game becoming a platform for this kind of stuff.

If you’ve kept up with the certain gaming world contraversies recently, you should know where these concerns come from.

Personally, I don’t mind, it’s a minor NPC, isn’t going to get in my way.

i can confirm this spot works. his hitbox is kinda in the ground a bit.

IT’s not working for me.

The problem is new players are getting the same features that core players would get by purchasing the expansion, and core players get LESS out of that same package as they already have the core game.

Solution: Give the standard and deluxe versions of the game a free character slot for those who already have the core game.

While playing in the Molten Boss fractal recently, I was being killed by fire fields thrown by the firestorm that were not shown AT ALL the floor, or were only showing their red danger circles before impact, no flame effects were shown. Resulting in death where it shouldn’t have occured.

No images sadly as I wasn’t recording at the time.

Once again I had a match start in ranked queue with less than 10 players present, our side had 4 and yet…still went ahead, adjustments done and such post match.

Why is this still a thing?

This is one of the major falldowns of this game.

IT DOES ABSOLUTELY SOD ALL to protect you in case of d/cs. I just got an ISP hiccup 25% HP left on the last vinewrath boss, and when I managed to log back in the event was over and I got no credit.

This is absolutely WRONG in every sense of the word, the game keeps track of contribution credit, why does it just say “lol he d/ced, screw him like the pleb he is” when something OUTSIDE YOUR CONTROL happens.

Get it sorted, it’s not acceptable.

Right now it’s messed up with those achievements with high tier amounts with 1 step between them, like the coin collectors and I cannot see what else is closer to completion that I might want to get otherwise.

I don’t think there are problems with the rare collection rewards, hell, I’d LOVE a Karmic Converter or Enchanted chest, but the work required is appropriate for em.

Can confirm, europe, the game is laggier than BWE.
