Stop the Champtrains!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

ShiningSquirrel.3751

It’s not just the name calling and the ranting either.

Someone shouts “Oak up” – someone else who is on the train at Boar says “wait for train” or “don’t kill” – doesn’t even say please, as if it’s a divine right to the train.

If this doesn’t tell you what’s wrong with the Champ Train nothing will.

way to necro a thread, so worth it too.

I couldn’t find the “Kill the Champtrain” I originally commented on because of the broken search system so I though “It’s the same topic” so might as well say it here

Where's our light flame armor on gem store?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

I really want to keep the look the flamekissed has. I always liked the T3 cultural but really did not want to pay 120g for it and this has the awesome flame effect. You should not be forcing those of us who have it already and actually like it to use the new skin. I personally hope you offer to let us keep the skin looks and give us the choice to update to the new one if we want too. Thanks

LET — IT — GO………

It’s already been discussed to death, they are going to replace the version you have with the new model. You can keep the new skin or get your gems back.
That is it, no more arguments, no more belly aching, no more threads going on for weeks on end.
It’s over, let it rest.

Don't Make Precursors Craftable

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

Sounds like someone sits on a stack of precursors.
If not, well there are others that do.

Precursor prices are manipulated, so there should be a way to not support these guys.

So how do you manipulate pre cursor prices?

Their prices on the TP actually reflect the average amount of gold you need to buy enough exotic weapons to put into the forge.

Are you serious? It’s very simple for anyone who is sitting on a stack of gold.
4 precursers of one type on the TP for 200G each.
Purchase all 4 for 800G.
Post back 2 on the TP for 400G each.

Create shortage and inflate price in one easy transaction. This is a very simplified version of what goes on, but you should get the idea.

Naming violation?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

If you are being asked to rename your character, please choose a new name that is a bit less suggestive. When you think about it, anything with “Lusty” is going to catch the eye and result in some number of name reports. I don’t know if the agent who reviewed it flagged the character for renaming, but if that did happen, you should steer clear of that sort of reference with your new name and you will be fine.

Yup, that overwhelming desire, that lust for power. is really gonna offend people!

That name is actually HIGHLY offensive and I have no doubt the OP knew exactly what he was referring to. Lets just say it has to do with women who like the company of other women and a certain practice that is used to refer to them.

Canthan New Year?

How do you know Canthan new year is not celebrated in GW2?

There’s no celebrations of it in this game (not anywhere in the known game, perhaps somewhere in the ‘diluted’ Cantha that’s yet to be re-released). No chances of celestial mini’s (this year is the horse), no 9 rings, no beetle racing. Granted they are two separate games, but I still believe Cantha should have it’s celebratory day in LA, as that so far is the only place that would have decorations up at least. I think this needs to be intervened by a loremaster.

So you have been to Cantha in GW2 and know that they do not celebrate it?
So tell us, how did you get there?

I would assume it is still being celebrated in Cantha. Lions Arch and Kamadan decorated their cities and had a few small features available, but it was primarily celebrated in Cantha.

No, it’s not better. You don’t create duplicate topics “just because you want to”.
Not only is it unnecessary, annoying, splits the topics, but it is also against the forum rules and can lead to your posting rights being removed. Creating another thread for something that has been discussed for well over a year adds nothing, does nothing and is completely useless.

3 simple yet genius ideas

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

1. Keep on doing Living Story but make it permanent.
2. Make ascended gear stat-switchable
3. Expand PvP with GvG, random arenas, deathmatch ….

If you do that GW2 will be king.

Peace!

1 = No
As other have said, if it’s all permanent, then it is not a living story any more, just game patches.

2 = No.

3 = GvG has already been suggested many times in many threads. It will probably show up after Guild Halls are added. “Deathmatch” is just another term for duels, which have also been discussed many times in many threads.

Nothing “genius” about any of these suggestions, all simply duplicates of other suggestions so they are not even original.

Looks like the wurm event will be changing

ShiningSquirrel.3751

last time Teq was alive and well, with not one soul fighting it. Same goes for the Wurms. They are just chillin.

Same on my server. Some guild members keep trying to do it, but they just guest to a more active server.

The devs have basically said these events are meant for the mega specialty guilds and not the regular community so it should be safe to just ignore them.

I love Guild Wars 2

@OP…what level are you and how long have you been playing?

That question is just silly. I am playing since the 3 day head start and I too love the game but at the same time I am open about flaws and i do not deny them.

Didn’t your mother ever tell you no question is silly? Or any teacher in school, rather?

My point is that a lot of people see GW2 through rose tinted glasses for the first few weeks or months until they get to max level and see how everything lays out. With ascended gear grind for BiS gear (if that interests you) to the open world zerg content that is Living Story, to the lack of attention to dungeons, etc.

So yes, there are people like you that guininely enjoy the game since day one and I commend you. But there are a ton of people that enter the honeymoon phase at level 1 and exit the honeymoon phase at level 80.

I was always told that no question is STUPID O.O

Op, i’m seriously confused????

Yes, you are confused.

PSA: Potential Guild Recruitment Scamming

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

Well yeah, the chances of be a legit case is almost none, and even if it is legit that player ego must be huge for think that the guild would give 46g to have the honor of having him in the guild, instead of him getting the gold to join them. Sure he could give the gold later but he could do the same thing and get the gold first.

I would not say that. I could very easily see a new player doing something like this, not knowing any better. If he was new, that would also explain the low AP.

Feb 4 Patch - EOTM

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

Exactly like I thought. Patch 1 2 and 3 will, despite being called “big patches”, still be regular LS patches maybe even smaller considering that they don’t add any features.

What a shame :/

How is adding a whole new map small?
A whole new map full with new features no less.

And what about the first patch that added two world bosses, both with completely new mechanics?

Scarlet, and a WvW map? That seems small (and uninteresting) to me.
BTW, it was a world boss and a “temporary” world boss, so not so good.

Not sure if your just trying to be funny or not, but just in case.
How do you propose anet gets a list of how many people who do not have accounts so are not customers, get fake emails? I suppose they could try contacting the NSA and see if they have any information… ;-)

These responses by support are totally unacceptable. Pointing a player to a link that has nothing to do with his issue, in a closed forum no less, is really bad. I am really disappointed in support by reading this. These support techs need serious retraining or need to be reassigned to a different department as they are not qualified for work in tech support. I have worked in support for 16 years and have never seen anything like this and any of my employees who made responses like these, obviously not reading the customers responses or ignoring them completely, would not have a job for very long.

SUGGESTIONS [moderator, please pin this]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

What I would like to know is why the suggestions forum was sent to the dumpster? All this did was migrate suggestions to the game discussion forum, might as well just shut all the forums down. Was it because they don’t care about our suggestions or what?

People consistently complained when their suggestions were moved to the suggestion forum. A lot less people actually looked at the suggestion forum. Suggestions will get more traction being in the appropriate sub forum.

It’s not about caring or not caring. It’s about exposure of ideas to those what have to live with those ideas.

A lot of us did not look in the suggestion forum because we where tired of seeing the same suggestions made day after day, week after week, month after month. Now they do nothing but clutter up the general discussion forum.

As to this thread, if they are going to make a sticky and put all the suggestions in one thread, they might as well create a separate forum for just suggestions, oh wait, we had one of those……

Open raid content doesn't work!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

I never defend instanced raid. I’m saying you are already doing instanced raid.

You join a guild called TTS. Everyone try to find an instance for yourself. So they can leave the unwanted people out.

Maybe Anet should stop making content for the 5-10% of the people who join TTS. Or maybe like 1% or less. Like you said.

ps. Maybe they should actually make Tequatl instanced for hardcore guild such as TTS. ANd make an easy version for the rest of people. Please stop making “casual people” do this coordinate hardcore open world boss which just doesn’t work.

My main problem with the whole way teq was/is being handled is anet took content away from the majority of players and in a sense, gave it to a small handful of the player base. From the comments the devs have made, this is by design and what they intended. But content like teq and the wurms are creating 2 separate games with 2 separate player bases. It can only end badly. And look at it like this. The “elite” players are getting new permanent content while the rest of us are only getting temporary content. Does that seem fair?

Marionette Phase 2 is Terrible, Here's Why

in The Origins of Madness

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

While I like this event, and have finished it myself, I have failed it far more then completed. I am OK with that, content that can fail more often then be completed is fun and gives you a sense of accomplishment when you do finally complete it. I would rather see more of the world bosses tweaked like this. Make them hard enough to fail more often than not, but give better rewards when they do complete. Teq and he wurms are just WAY over board. Most players I know gave up on teq long ago and have no intention on even trying to finish the wurms, just get as many of the achievements as possible then let it fall to the wayside like teq.

My only real issue with the marionette is it does not really “bring the community together”. The event usually starts very well with advice being given and the event explained. When it’s a win, yes, everyone is “GJ”, “thanks”, “we all rock”. When it’s a loss, it’s a different story. The foul language directed at other players can really get out of hand very quickly. Players get upset when they do what they are supposed to, do it very well, then still lose because of someone else’s failure. I have no idea how to correct that, or even if it’s possible human nature being what it is.

All I can say is go tell it to the devs. That has been the reason given.

As I said in my other post, what suggestions do you have for other back items? remove them, toggle them off? It’s easy to say do it, but how about making a suggestion on how they are suppose to do it instead?

Right that makes sense. Lord knows we wouldn’t want there to be any clipping issues.

Only repeating what has been said in the many, many other threads on the same subject, and on the wiki. If you don’t like the answer, well I don’t know what else to tell you. Go complain to the devs but don’t expect any other answer.

BTW, how would you handle the clipping with all the other back items? should they all just be removed and replaced with capes?, Toggled? What would you suggest?

IMHO, I would much rather see capes, but capes are not compatible with the current back item models so something would have to go.

TTS Almost defeated the Great Jungle Wurm

in The Origins of Madness

Posted by: ShiningSquirrel.3751

ShiningSquirrel.3751

This whole encounter is a perfect example why TTS and guilds like them are detrimental to the game as a whole.
When a “special” guild has to be created to defeat a boss, that is a sign there is something wrong with that boss encounter. When that same “special” guild then defeats the boss, it “proves” to the dev team that the encounter is working as intended as it can be beaten.
The marionette was done well, the wurm and teq are just ridiculous.

Players banding together to take down the strongest bosses in the game is working exactly as intended.

If the forced creation of special guilds like TSS is what anet intended, then the game is doomed as that is pretty much the worst example of programming I have ever seen in any game.

For hardcore endgame objectives guilds form all the time in MMOs.. I guess you’re new to this.

I have probably been playing and running computer games longer then you have been alive, so no, I am not “new” to “this”.

I jumped back into the game about 3 or 4 days ago, and I also have a really bad lag. It seems to happen when I’m running around in the “train” Champion slaying, the game somewhat freezes, and all the characters and enemies around me are standing still. I can still move my mouse pointer, and click on things, but nothing in game responds. No, it’s not my computer, as my boyfriend built it a few months ago, and it has AMAZING hardware.

It must be a problem everywhere, and I live in America.

This is exactly what I have been experiencing, from the East coast USA.
