When this is all said and done, will it forever be a tangible item I have to hold onto? I hope not. :\

It’s not P2W per se, but it’s very close to “Freemium”.

That would be pay to win. -_-

Yeah, the moment that the coin also not only grants immunity to things in-game making it easier, but the SAB gives rewards that will make money, this will be considered P2W. Buying minis is more pay to win, but no one QQ’s about that.

My theory is you’re just upset you can’t complete the tribulation mode /and/ can’t afford a coin.

A royal pain considering that I want to craft Sunrise and Bifrost and 2 characters that I use equally that can use Bifrost and 2 that uses Sunrise, so sad :C, it has taken me 12 months to get to this point, havent completed even one but im so close, I cant imagine myself doing this for another 5 years just to give them the same skins :C

That’s something you should have thought about at the start, because that’s how legendaries have always been.

I disagree with this. Some things should be soulbound because that’s the mechanic of the object. An example would be the iron tailpipe bandana. My Mesmer, Sawnec, is not in his gang, so why should he have a bandana?

Other example is weapons. If all the weapons suddenly stop being soul bound, there would be no reason for people to buy more than one or two of the same weapon, and the market would stall, if not straight up crash.

Do you every buy, or known anyone to buy used shoes, clothes, hats, etc… well the answer is yes you do.

Gear is just a heavy type of clothing, if 1 person can wear it, then someone else can.

I do wish Soulbound items where gone to, account is all we need, I can understand is you need a “tailor crystal” or sometype of new item to “Fit” the armor to your character, that would be better than soulbound as well.

And I can guarantee you that the clothing manufacturers would soulbind IRL clothing if they could. More money for them.

The point is there’s a market right now that’s thriving off the current system, and that market is the majority of the entire TP.

No option to fiddle with culling in PvE

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Sawnic.6795

Sawnic.6795

I understand that the option for WvW is supposed to cover both PvE and WvW, but I’m sorry this is mildly kittened. PLayers with mid-high level rigs, such as myself, get amazing PvE framerates with max everything, but then have to turn things down in WvW to make it reasonably playable. At max everything, it is playable in WvW, just 10-20 FPS, but when I turn down character models it jumps to like 50 or so.

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HORRIBLE MODELS RENDER IN THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF WORLD VS. WORLD.

Having to change settings every time you change plans means something is broken, especially when it wasn’t a problem before a patch. I will not be returning to WvW until this is fixed.

Liadri alienates a lot of gw2 players

Oh I know, but that’s just more keys people need to worry about. Merely turning left and right is worthless, imo. And most people are used to the WASD setup.

Kagamiku

Make sure your A and D keys are set to “strafe left and strafe right” the default has them set to “turn left and turn right”

If you mean that, I was stating that the default has A and D set to “turn left and turn right” I never mentioned what the default for strafe left and right was.

The way you worded it, it sounded like you didn’t know.

Liadri alienates a lot of gw2 players

in Queen's Jubilee

Posted by: Sawnic.6795

Sawnic.6795

Let’s face it. There are some minor issues such as lag, the dome not allowing your screen to pan out, and the occasional RNG of orbs pulling you just as shadow fall is about to drop on the orb. Although, the orbs pulling you can be avoided by knowing the location of the orb and killing it before it can pull...But it’s not something skill can account for at least until you’ve memorized the locations.

Having said that, they are exactly as I said they are -- *minor* -- Liadri is very beatable, bugs or no bugs. The bugs make it a little more difficult than it should be. That’s it. It does not stop any one from beating her.

On a completely unrelated note. Make sure your A and D keys are set to "strafe left and strafe right" the default has them set to "turn left and turn right" and this makes strafing a great deal harder, because you can only strafe by holding your mouse and A or D key down that way. Setting the keys to do that automatically will strafe you simply by pressing A or D.

A high rotation camera speed helps as well.

q and e are the default strafe keys.

Let me quote myself from a few months back after the Halloween jumping puzzle.

I have written 3 posts to put here and deleted them all because I know they would have received infactions…so I will put it into 1 sentence.

The majority community here has a knee jerk reaction to anything someone can accomplish by means of skill that they could not otherwise get in a “farming” manner that takes almost no skill and can be completed solely by playing “x” hours.

It’s not broken. I’ve beaten it. My guildies have beaten it. I have screenshots as proof, if you’d like.

It is possible to beat. There’s a system to it. I figured it out.

That’s what is so frustrating about this.

People say it’s impossible to beat. Yet people have beaten it.

People say it’s all RNG and Luck. Yet people can consistently beat it and even do the achievement.

People say it’s broken. Yet people can account for, explain, and work around all the supposed broken things.

It is beatable, and barring some sort of major handicap, anyone can do it. It’s seriously not THAT hard, there is just a pattern to recognize and memorize. After that, just about any class can just run in a circle and auto attack her down.

Every class can, in fact.

Here it is on a Necro, Warrior, Thief, Guardian, Mesmer, Engineer, And I can’t find a video but Here is a forum thread about a Ranger who did it, and while it wasn’t an achievement get, Here is an Elementalist who does the Liadri fight as well.

Liadri alienates a lot of gw2 players

I say, give easy mode and hard mode.

Easy mode: Liadri has 75% less HP, does 75% less damage, and does not have a cripple skill. No rifts spawn and once phase 2 starts, the aoe 1shot kills stop. Remove all 1 shot kills.

Hard mode: The way it is now.

Rewards for easy mode: both achievements and the miniature
Rewards for hard mode: botch achievements, the miniature and 10gold

EDIT: oh, and people don’t spawn DEAD outside the dome on the catwalk. We spawn alive and well.

Translation:

"Give me a free mini."

Swap the rewards and I’ll support it. Easymode and hardmode both get 10g, while hardmode only gives the mini.

The whole point of the mini is for the hardmode players to have some form of representation that they are indeed hardmode. There is currently no other means ingame (Sorry legendary users, I respect you but have no proof of skill).

Not true. Let’s be honest, how many times have you sent your minion to the bank? I’ve sent mine countless times when depositing all simply because you cannot lock them. On the other hand after completing the event I wouldn’t mind if they nerfed the content to make it easier because guess what? It doesn’t make my prize any worse than someone else. I would still know that I acquired my mini the HARD way and overall it did not make me look toward future content since I know the moment they add liandri 2.0 I’m deleting gw2.

It doesn’t matter /what/ it is, I worked for the prize I was given. If they suddenly made it much easier, I will be kitten ed regardless of what the reward was because now my reward was in vein. I could have waited and gotten it easier.

Lol, so in other words it’s an entitlement thing? Personally, I’ve tried 150+ times before achieving it and I would not feel cheated by the prize simply because personally I know I worked harder to get mine, and I don’t have to shove it in other people’s faces that I’m more ’’pro’’ than them.

Do you not know what an achievement is?

indeed an objective accomplished through either skill or perseverance. HOWEVER, they should just give the dang mini to people with 150-200+ tries,that’s some serious perseverance.

So you know what it is, you just don’t understand it.

-[edit]-

No, they shouldn’t just give it to people who try so many times. I could start up the fight then just afk and voila. No perseverance or anything.

Do you know what entrapment is? It’s inducing a person commit an act that the person would otherwise have been unlikely to perform. Putting a mini at the end of Gauntlet did just that. I’d not have bothered for 237 attempts otherwise. Spending the 18.5 initial gold, plus the $10 actual money to sell the gems for even more tickets, repairs, waypoints fees, etc. All in all w’ere talking about around $20 USD after all is said and done in actual ingame gold equivalent expense. Again, as stated had it not been a mini, I’d not have bothered.

Am I saying that I therefore deserve that mini via expense alone? Not necessarily. But does it seem right to you that something to be acquired in a game should be *THAT HARD* to achieve? Further still be the only method of receiving said item? Even further still be part of a limited time event? If so, you’re in the same camp with a certain someone else earlier in this post. Whose comment to me has since been deleted but stated, "at the end of the day I got my mini and the people that suck don’t."

So because you collect minis you deserve something for nothing.

By your logic, any achievement in any video game ever made ever and ever will be made ever (ever!) will be entrapment.

Don’t walk forward onto that ledge! You’ll be entrapped into getting the ’light footed award" by "standing dangerously close to the ledge!"

-[edit]-

Now that I’m common sensing, feel free to take a look at The Wikipedia on Entrapment. By the definition of the word, it does not apply here, as it is a legal term.

ArenaNet screwed up huge this time, not because it was unforeseen
but simply because they didn’t care
their inability to create varied difficulties and award accordingly is simply appalling

*voice of reason* "hey, if we’re considerate toward our customers, then we can release content that everyone can appreciate"
*Anet* "No, Everyone is getting hard content this time and they’ll learn to like it. if they can’t adjust then they aren’t getting the mini"

ANet said before the patch dropped that only 8% of their testers could complete it, and not everyone will be able to.

It’s not that they didn’t care, it’s that you’re not the targeted demographic if you can’t complete it. And yes, what you mentioned is their logic. The hard content is targeted towards PvE players who /want/ challenging content.

[...]

Are you suggesting people on GW2 feel left out because they can’t do optional content that is geared towards more skilled players?

I’m not suggesting anything in this case.

I’m stating a fact.

In a game, the very moment you strap some achievement or unique reward to a piece of content, it’s no longer "optional". It becomes and objective. Games are all about rules and objectives.

Everything can be considered optional if you want, including living. So "it’s optional" doesn’t work as an excuse here, once you strap an objective to it.

You need to draw a line somewhere between what people will fell is an "objective" and what’s actually "optional".

Since it’s an online multiplayer game, the line is drawn where enough players will stop having fun, because games must be fun above all else.
That that is most often where they will feel forced to do something they may not really enjoy to get something unique they won’t be able to get in any other way, because they will enjoy using or having that thing.

That doesn’t mean you can’t have higher difficulties.

It just means higher difficulties must be *really* optional, having no rewards unique to it.
There must still be rewards, and they can be more than in lower difficulties, but not unique.

For example, let’s take the Trials. For most players they were horribly badly designed content. For a very few, it was "Way too easy".
Even once you remove the usual "It’s too easy, make it harder" trolls that didn’t actually do it, but say that just to kitten off people, there was still people who found it easy.

So, how should have it been?

It should have been more like GW1’s Factions and Nightfall challenges.

1.- Virtually endless. Getting harder and harder wave after wave.
2.- Any unlocks and unique rewards (achievements, titles, etc) would require only getting to the point a little bit after it got hard, but not too hard. Like the faction cap increase from challenges in GWFactions, you only need 100 points, but there are players who are able to go past 1000 points in several challenges.
3.- Past that point, there’s still more reward, but they are no longer unique or unlocks. Those who can’t get past that, will have to take it easy in lower difficulties.
4.- There should be a leaderboard for the challenges, so those who are better get to show off, but only for as long as they are good. They don’t get to get some title and show it off forever. If someone gets better, they go up the challenge laderboard, if someone gets worse, they go down. Real skill is dynamic it’s in the present. Not something you did back in the 90’s. That’s in the past. Skill is now. Achievements are not really to show skill, they are merely to record achieved feats.
5.- And it should not have been temporary. It should have been a fixed challenge that is there permanently, so people willing to train and get better are able to do so. When you make it temporary, you are no longer really rewarding skill, but other factors like having a better connection or innate talent. Imagine if all athletes were not allowed to train. It’ll be all about genes, without dedication, learning or skill development involved. Give time and talent is still a factor, but the untalented can still develop the skill with training.

We already have a bit of that in GW2, in fractals, although the rewards are not very well balanced, if you manage to do the higher fractals, you still get more chances for rare stuff more often. But you won’t lose any unique rewards for sticking to just to the easy level 10-30 fractals.

So yes, you are suggesting optional content is alienating players. That "objective" is an "optional objective." It has absolutely no play on the game itself if you haven’t killed Liadri.

This is why Diablo III developers decided not to add achievements for monster power.

“Going an extra mile” should give its own rewards without putting anything out of reach from the rest.

In the case of Diablo III, if you can manage to do stuff in monster power 10, then you get better drops and level up faster.

But if you can’t, you can just tone it down and take things easier and slower.

Nobody doing monster power 10 feels unrewarded because there’s no achievements for it since they get other rewards.
And nobody who can’t manage monster power 10 is feeling alienated and frustrated about something they may never get because of things like poor Internet connection, a crappy system or not having two hands; because nothng drops in MP10 that won’t drop in lower difficulty settings. It just may take longer.

Are you suggesting people on GW2 feel left out because they can’t do optional content that is geared towards more skilled players?

I was expecting just that for the overall community, to be around ~8%. Instead we have players completing it left and right and it has only been one week.

After those of who could do it just because we’re awesome get it, the achievement rate will drastically drop.

I support this, I currently have five level 80 characters and I still can’t beat her with any of them. I shouldn’t have to buy a whole new set of armor just to kill one person because my builds currently don’t work or have to level an entirely new character because I’m not playing the right class. I have even soloed some fractals that don’t require multiple people mechanically and that was easier than this boss

Here it is on a Necro, Warrior, Thief, Guardian, Mesmer, Engineer, And I can’t find a video but Here is a forum thread about a Ranger who did it, and while it wasn’t an achievement get, Here is an Elementalist who does the Liadri fight as well.

Every class can do it. It honestly boils down to you need to practice.

Liadri and Necromancers

in Queen's Jubilee

Sawnic, Andele has a point with the Death Shroud being important for Necromancers. The amount of damage we can dish out with 100% crit chance while eating Liadri’s constant damage is nice. If I want to respec, I would go to something even more tank-ish, and it also includes DS. From 30/10/0/0/30 to 0/0/10/30/30. No matter what you choose, you will need to go into DS at some point to stay alive.

Thanks Healix.5819, for the suggestion, I will try that.

I just wanted the devs to take this into consideration for any future implementations. Green + Red = Brown. Simple

Feel free to watch this.. DS was used for a grand total of about three seconds the whole fight, and most of it was at the *very, very* end for a quick burst. The fight could have been easily done without it at all.

-[edit]-
It was used once at around 0:50 ONLY to fear Liadri when she rushed, and again at the very end of the video for the AoE hit on top of the massive condition damage already applied. This necromancer, as I said already, could have done this fight without DS at all.

Somehone here doesn’t know how damage rollover works in death shroud. I can assure you, it’s not me.

Someone here doesnt know how to think, obviously shown by your lack of profession knowledge and basic language.

Oh no, I typod. You sound mad.

So respec to something less Death Shroud oriented.

On that note tell a elementalist not to use attunements or that a engie toolbelt has no use…

Or you can read the thread and see why I’m suggesting this. None of what you mentioned even comes close to the problem Death Shroud has.

So, respec to something that uses Death Shroud less. I had to respec to a DPS signet build on my mesmer away from my usual staff bunker build.

I might have to do that for the next orb achievement, however, that wasn’t my point. My point was about the encounter visuals which shouldn’t make the fight harder that it really is. The ground and the colors are poorly chosen.

I absolutely 100% disagree with this. Liadri is fine how she is. All classes have completed her, and all classes have also done the achievement revolving around her.

She is doable, just not by you.

Liadri is not for casuals. If it’s too hard for you, either get better or go do something else.

It has nothing to do with getting betterm its either have a class who can do it easily (engi, thief) or go die in hell with trying

Every class in-game has done it thus far, and I believe they’ve also done it with the orbs achievement.

Here it is on a Necro, Warrior, Thief, Guardian, Mesmer, Engineer, And I can’t find a video but Here is a forum thread about a Ranger who did it, and while it wasn’t an achievement get, Here is an Elementalist who does the Liadri fight as well.

Liadri is not for casuals. If it’s too hard for you, either get better or go do something else.

That’s honestly the only advice that can be given unless you ask for help on how to get better.

I completed Liadri on a glass-cannon signet mesmer build.

Basically, signets removed conditions and gave me distortion.

I can safely say I am thoroughly satisfied with the decision to add the Lidari fight, with it’s difficulty, and that I hope to see more things like this in the future. Not doing the Liadri fight is not game-breaking, so we are not punished for not doing it if we can’t/don’t want to, but those of us that /do/ want to do it are (I assume) happy with the content.

Thank you for giving those of us who enjoy a PvE challenge something to chew on. If you keep it up I’ll start throwing more gems at you :3

So basically you want to be handed the mini.

Personally, I’m happy this is here. We need more events like this. Make the majority of the event easy and casual friendly, and make some aspect of it hard as kitten.

I never played it, but wasn’t there a problem with “money laundering” in one of those Star Wars MMO’s that had to do with tipping?

Not to my knowledge o_O

We have instruments. So why not have a tip jar? Just drop a case of whatever instrument you pull out at your toon’s feet and players can interact with it to drop tips.

From a casual standpoint, this isn’t going to do much, but on the RP servers, this will definitely go somewhere.

Right. Dodge right off the platforms that you need to climb. Because players will spam AoEs over the entire platforms, you know.

“Learn to juke.”

All you need to do is get near it. Not do anything else. Just dodge and when you get the achieve, let them kill you.

The hard part is getting there. Especially as the colosseum is such an incredible chokepoint. Were they to put it in the colosseum instead, people would not mind dying after getting it. The problem is people keep dying before they even get close.
