Guild Wars 2

Marche.8123:

There’s a solution for you: Don’t use the waypoints. Professions have ways to get swiftness for quite a while so that’s your “mount” right there. That’s what I do when I just want to wander around.

^ This. Someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to use them? I’m not walking all over the place thru events and crap I have no interest in doing again for the sake of your immersion.

Deroy.2457:

Really? Just got to another spot or mute your sounds.
What’s being requested in this thread is utterly selfish and and a real kick in the balls for the people who own a set of bells.

The bells aren’t even annoying to begin with and the fact you decided to stay around and listen contradicts everything.

Yeah. As if the kitten knuckles spamming the kitten isn’t selfish. Especially with the sound bug the eventually cause. Nope. Being a rectum wipe and annoying people around you isn’t selfish at all. Why don’t you spammers take yourself to an unoccupied map to play with you wee bells? Not a good suggestion for you? Well, neither is telling us that hate the muther god kitten bells to leave.

Crap like that is what makes me want open ganking.

Caedmon.6798:

I do agree with more lvl 80 zones needed,but i think that will come in the future,dont worry about it yet.isn’t an easy project i reckon.

I’m guessing there’d have to be new ones coming. If you look at the map and all the various maps are roughly the same size. Lotta zones that you can’t get to, no road with wormholes on em leading there and such. I figure they are reserved for either future higher zones or future events. Or I guess both since they opened Lost Shore with an event.

Hearing an old asura npc complaining about being hung up by his ears on a signpost for two days during the golem rebellion. Warms the kittenles of my black little heart even now.

And back when I actually used to level up and say: “By the power of ME! Ha Haa.”

It’s misleading as hell. If this was a product from a store, I would be entitled to a lawsuit.

Do you sue Great Value brand every time you buy their corn flakes expecting it to taste like Kellog’s corn flakes?

Yes. If it was named Kellogg’s. It was called Nightmare, and wasn’t. That is mislabeling. Labeling isn’t the customer’s responsibility.

You are silly. WvW is PvE.

SPvP needs moar modes. It has been noted.

PvP stands for Player vs. Player. I go to WvW to kill other players. I am also a player. Therefore, WvW is PvP – claim rendered invalid.

No. You go to WvW to take camps and towers to help your world. And NPC’s guard those camps and towers, not players. It is more beneficial to kill NPC’s in WvW than it is to kill other players. Therefore, WvW is PvE.

Absurd logic.

Yeah. Cuz we leave the defense of a tower or keep to the NPCs. NPC’s that wont take two steps to help out. Or leave their patrol routes to attack the players unless you practically run thru them. Nor do we build siege, upgrade holdings, and man them. Nor did we defend our Keep (Bay) from HoD, have them break thru the inner wall to only eat our ballistas and ultimately get pushed back out. Was close tho. For a while there I thot it was lost. HoD musta got some new guild transfers to have these kinda numbers all of a sudden. Still have sads hugging the Legendaries and using the invulnerable exploit by huddling under them. So yeah. Never played that against a single player. That was allllll PvE.

yeah. being a diff kinda PvP then mass free for all doesn’t make it PvE

Yeah. The shell drops are completely pathetic. Hell, the drop period. Telling me if I kill something it doesn’t have any meat, blood or skin/shell/bone on it %90 of the time? Sure, encourage scarcity of things, I get that. But nothing the vast majority of the time, even on Vets ya have to ‘kill’ twice to find out you get nothing but wind? PAH-the-tic.

2 today. Both copies of what already have. One a rare I coulda sold for near a gold if I hadn’t decided to let the guild bank have it. If no one grabs it then I’ll sell it. (Midnight something or other)

Goettel.4389:

Not having a problem using shortbow on my thief, it’s awesome.

Didn’t say it was a problem to use. Said the range was kitten. What do you need a bow for when you can throw your dagger that far, conceptually, not game skill crap. Hell, my leap attack (really forgetting skill names today) covers the same range in two uses. Try jumping twice to cover the same distance as a bow.

Incurafy.6329:

Columba.9730:

Thieves in WvWvW need nerfs. Perma stealth, highest burst, fastest run speed. Not even remotely balanced.

1. There is no such thing as permanent stealth, even with culling which is ridiculously exaggerated.
2. Thieves don’t have the highest burst and the Backstab combo is so easy to counter that you have to be logged in while AFK to be killed by it (or just terrible at PvP… lol).
3. The fastest that a Thief can run is at 33% speed with the Swiftness buff which they have less access to then most classes and the Signet of Shadows only gives 25% speed buff (like every other speed signet now). Also, Thieves are supposed to be mobile, complaining about that is like complaining that Elementalists can use magic.
4. Please, stop spamming the forums about how unbalanced Thieves are; it’s ridiculous.

^ Constantly hear the kvetching bout perma stealth (teach me how please) and fastest run. Yet have players flying away from me on a streak of fire, or other escape stuff all the time. Can barely keep up with Infiltrator Arrow. I smell feces. Dunno bout burst. Not the build I’m on. Not sure what build gonna settle on. Fun is my reason for a build/playing, not some holy grail of most efficient dps/survivability. Playing as a clone of everyone else is pointless. May as well call it clone wars then.

They really should add the feature of when you aren’t repping a guild you can’t be seen online on it’s roster. As it is now if you are repping another guild they know you are repping another. When you go invis you can’t see guild chat so that doesn’t help.

And tools that let a guild see the last date and time people were repping their guild.

So you wanna guild around, but you don’t want your guild leader checking your phone? Are you doing something you shouldn’t?

Lol, that’s why I said give the guilds tools to see the last time the person was repping their guild and individual rep earned. Then you can easily decide if the person is worth keeping. Current system is bogus.

Actually, no. That is a specious argument. The same kinda brainless crap you get from people saying you shouldn’t have a problem with the cops randomly stopping you for a warrantless search. Or knocking on your door. What, you have a problem with that? You hiding something? Yeah, the fact that I’m playing a game that lets me be in multiple guilds (2) both made of of diff groups of friends. Just because you found a guild doesn’t make you someone’s petty dictator who has a claim to all their game time. I’m not interested in chatting with everyone in a second guild by whisper cause I ain’t repping them. And that is the main reason to change reps. And spare me the guild loyalty crap. This is WvW, ain’t no guilds raiding each other here, regardless of game title.

Yup. And wonder myself why you almost never use the offhand weapon. Seems there more to say “you can dual wield” then to actually be a useful thing. You use two weapons, you incorporate them into your attacks, not just using it to stun someone occasionally or whatever the secondary on a given weapon is. I have two daggers going, I’m using both of them, not just flailing with my right till it drops off.

Fyrebrand.4859:

Teofa Tsavo.9863:

If there were a stat that did nothing but give a % of spawning a Rainbow Clown Wig, you probably wouldn’t want to run with people who stacked it over a passive combat influencing stat.. but it seems to be ok to run with MF, that influences combat no more than said Clown wig would. I don’t get it.

You know, I think people need to examine this analogy a little more, and consider just why this debate is happening, at all.

If, instead of Magic Find, you had the option to wear a funny clown wig at the expense of one of your stats — would we even be having this conversation? Would you be at all surprised that players wearing funny wigs weren’t getting invited to dungeon groups? Would you be arguing so vehemently about your “right” to wear what you want, and how just because you’re wearing a clown wig it doesn’t mean you perform any worse in combat? Would you be denying actual math and damage formulae that demonstrate that you’d be better off with more Crit Damage or Toughness, rather than some stupid cosmetic hairpiece?

No. The clown wig situation would be stupid, no one would do it, and people who wore one into a dungeon would be told to get rid of that thing and put their stats back to normal. You’re arguing about it because it gives you shinies. This isn’t really about rights, or how good a player you are, or whether you perform as well in MF gear as other people wearing full Berserker gear. It’s about not bringing your A game, in the hopes of making more money.

People wear Magic Find because of what it does for them. There is no other advantage to consider, only disadvantages. The best thing you can say for someone in MF gear is "Well, maybe if they’re really good, they won’t hold back the group too much. Wow.

Yeah, because no one in the entire game has ever offered up a drop they have no use for to the group. Nope, never happens, ever. Yup, have never given loot that dropped to my MF to someone else because I don’t need it.

Raine.1394:

Ethics.4519:

I have yet to see this question addressed. In a game of anti-min/maxing, what does this matter?

We all know, whether you want to admit it or not, that one person doing 5-10% less damage doesn’t really matter in the long run.

Oh no! Now your 30 min long dungeon run turns into 31 minutes. Are you going to blame the guy dying? Are you going to blame the guy not dodging? are you going to blame the guy who missed his interrupt? What about the person who forgot to put his food back on, or didn’t even bring food! Outrageous!

DPS doesn’t require a reason. Either you’re contributing or you’re not. If a basketball player misses the game winning shot, there’s no excuse. It’s like it’s okay because he just didn’t have the skill, but it’s not okay if his shoe was untied. I’m sure you naysayers will pick out some arbitrary detail in the analogy but the point still stands (INB4 He doesn’t have stats on his shoes)

I could just as easily ask, in a game that not about grinding gear, why do we have a stat which solely gives you more of it? Neither of those questions is very good though.

Deconning for ectos.

maddoctor.2738:

CETheLucid.3964:

Berserkers will always be the superior DPS choice, I never contended that. The difference is in the goal. One wants DPS, and one wants shines.

And DPS helps the group, shines do not, and there is the issue

Ahh, so your goal is to get more DPS and not shinies. Then give the shinies you got to the guy you forced to give up his shinies for your DPS count, and extra 2 minutes for the next run.

lol, the anti-MF crowd came by, I see.

Yes, because it’s so unreasonable for people that have a problem with MF to answer someone’s question as to why people hate it.
So very, VERY unreasonable.

It’s one thing to answer it. It’s another to browbeat everyone who disagrees with you, which is what you’re doing.

It’s one thing to browbeat those who disagree, it’s an entirely worse thing to categorically dismiss math because it doesn’t fit your worldview.

It doesn’t matter what the math says, because the math doesn’t necessarily apply to the person using magic find. It’s only valid if it applies to a specific person’s play style. The person using MF is looking to get better drops, end of story. And again, the statistics don’t matter anyway because the only person any player is responsible to for their gear and stats is themselves.

This is how I look at it, but no matter how I try to explain it, I get trolled around because I’m pro-MF.

It’s like, the new racism, but towards gear and players who use it.

Yes, because hating someone for what they were born as is DEFINITELY comparable to hating someone for the actions they take that make them antisocial kittens.

Guess he shoulda used the correct word, since obviusly they weren’t born in MF gear. The more accurate term in this case would be :

Raine.1394:

My argument is that MF is a risk/reward dynamic where you gimp yourself (assume risk) in order for the chance to receive better loot. By definition, in a group activity you gimp the group to the extent that you gimp yourself.

The problem with that argument is that in order for it to be valid, you must have a group who plays the same way, with the same exact skills and has the same exact hit/miss ratio during an entire run, however, that’s anything but guild wars 2.

The current system allows users who are not up to the highest grades to still be able to contribute more than the highest graded member in the party.

For example, let’s say you have a group of 4 top-geared (geared your way) and 1 MF user. This is probably happening as I type this. Anyways, let’s throw this group into their first fight and let’s say it’s a boss just to make it simple. So a few seconds in and one of your geared members goes down because they made a mistake, so another of your geared members goes over to help. The remaining three are left dishing out damage. So point being, is during that time it takes to get that geared member back on his feet, the MF user has just dished thousands of damage that now puts them over the top in their hit ratio when compared to your downed player. That’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these scenarios.

To argue that it would have been “better” to have had another top-geared player in place of the MF user is only ignorance. The ironic thing is this has probably happened to you without you even realizing it.

These “arguments” are plainly egotistical and should be ignored until you can actually spot the MF user without him/her having to ping gear.

The Ideal scenario is that the MF player will be likely the one who goes down, coz he’s a kittening glasscannon.

(and you will throw me that the geared down party member is less skilled and the mf guy is skilled, GFG!)

Oh please. Like being geared and “skilled” means you never key mash, or kitten up and miss your attack cuz you a half step outta range. Nope, being geared means you are so precise you can wizz on a plate and make no splash.

Mudcat.1364:

A lot of the MF peoples’ argument seems to be that you can still use MF and be “good enough”. An example of why this is wrong: say you have 5 people doing dungeon runs, and 2 are using MF gear. As a result, the runs take 15 minutes instead of 12. Sure, you could argue that 15 minutes is good enough (only a 3 minute difference, after all), but it adds up. After an hour, you have done 4 runs. If all 5 players were using optimal gear, you would have done 5 runs. As a result, the 3 players contributing the most have gotten 20% less loot, and the 2 contributing less than their full potential got more than they otherwise would have. See the problem? Yes you still finished the run, but your decrease in efficiency is still hurting your teammates.

Your absolute effectiveness with your MF gear does not matter, only your relative efficiency compared to using real gear. You could have been the best person on your team, even in your MF gear, but you would have been even better in other gear. That difference is costing your teammates loot. Getting more loot at the expense of your teammates is selfish; asking you to perform as best you are able is not.

So, taking a few seconds longer to kill an ooglie booglie means less loot drops? My kitten

Quick Mouse.7635:

Guys world completion is BY FAR the easiest part of getting a legendary, and otherwise really serves no purpose. Be patient. Or, even better, be active in wvw and maybe you’ll capture that keep and get the poi you’re missing.

And getting some item whose only benefit is a different skin from any exotic of the same tier serves a purpose? Getting the %100 and whatever the reward for it is has as much purpose as a piece of fluff whose only use is “lookit”. Maybe if they had better stats they would actually be legendary, as it is now, they are just a vanity item for those who think they are cool looking. Not one of them, btw. So far everyone I’ve seen I wouldn’t give you a gold for, much less the time it takes to grind one.

Gehenna.3625:

Sleel.8365:

Yes, but your post was about people putting theirs up for sale and people buying them. Takes a lot of work either way.

Except if you buy gems and trade them to gold to buy the legendary. The ratio between hours spent in game to get a legendary or hours spent making the real life money to buy gems doesn’t compare at all.

So, there will be people running around showing off their legendaries that put in the work and then those who simply bought them via real cash.

I can imagine that people who worked for it in game might feel a bit cheated. All in all the karma system should provide unique rewards that are only attainable via karma. That side of the game is not used nearly enough. A missed opportunity.

>.>
<.<
Yeeeanhhhh. Like the random shlep running round knows how anyone got their legendary. And if I paid real money (aka: lost my frigging mind) to buy a skin, don’t see how that cheats anyone. Never mind the amount of real money buying those gems would mean. I sold a small amount of my gems, to get the kinda gold a legendary costs, that thing better come to my house, cook clean and pleasure me. If they want to trade the time they worked for real money verses the time they worked for virtual money, they still taking time from somewhere in they life. Hell, wasting the amount of time it takes to get a piece of fluff is the cheat. Never hear making a legendary described as anything but as grinding for my legendary. Grinding isn’t fun. Isn’t fun = cheated out of money you paid to have fun. Grinding for fluff that has no meaning beyond “lookit!”……… well, to me, that = dumb as a bag of hammers. But I don’t value fluff, or the supposed respect of others legendaries are purported to endear.

Cheating other people out of their accomplishment. Fah. Not sure how grinding and playing roulette with the Mystic Toilet is an accomplishment.

Agree on the karma tho. Could be more robust, hell, should be. Not sure what I’m gonna use mine for since I haven’t seen a legendary worth getting, by grind or TP. Well, insignias for my crafting, but that only uses so much, eh. Bah, rambled enuff, this drifting.

plasmacutter.2709:

wow.. talk about loaded terminology.

wow.. talk about loaded terminology.When you’re facing literal ARMIES of undead at the temple of balthazar, using aoe is not “abuse”, it is the logical course of action.

Or in WvW. What are you supposed to do? Attack one person while the zerg piles on? No, you use AOE on ppl who are bunched up. Or to stop them rushing you. Oddly nuff, most will stop/go around (wasting time) when they see a poison AOE in front of them. Buys you time to get to help (WvW), or screws the mob in PvE.
Hell, I pile on the conditions when faced with a big group. Poison, cluster bomb, that spin evade thieves do, whose name is escaping me right now, that bleeds. Then a couple dodge rolls dropping caltrops with each. Then watch them hobble towards me loosing HP from bleeds and poison to have them drop dead as they reach me. Makes me laff every time.

Azjenco.9425:

Sleel.8365:

So what? Grind your face off for comps, or grind your face off for gold to buy it. Still grinding the same time, just for a diff reward using a diff path. Point?

The point is, should it be a grind. People seem to pull their shoulders up on this issue a lot, while others are hotly contested against this fact.

I am and will remain certain that there are better ways to build your legendary weapon. Tasks, achievements and components specifically tailored towards each legendary weapon, all of which are story driven in such a way to give each legendary weapon it’s own identity. Rather that than merely throwing all of the rarest mats already used by other crafting items, and being content to have players rummage through those to pass the time.

Shouldn’t legendaries be more legendary than merely functioning of off the droppings of other lesser gear.

Yes, but your post was about people putting theirs up for sale and people buying them. Takes a lot of work either way. Either way is a waste as far as I’m concerned. All that time regardless of how for a skin seems a brain damaged waste of time when my exotic has the same stats.
Hell, should be part of “your story” in some way. Use the bits you get off the various bosses along the way or some such. But if someone wants to sell it, so what.

I’ve seen em in WvW. Got shot up by rainbows. Oh joy. Will never see how burning off hours upon hours of time will be worth a bow shooting rainbows. Or any of the rest of them I’ve seen. But they say they working on more skins, maybe I see one I like yet. After all, pigs can fly when you load them into a catapult, for a while :P

I can reach it without stopping for mobs, if I was so inclined. Don’t see a reason a 2 can’t run without stopping till the mob returns to it’s patrol route, like anywhere else. Now actually using the node with that big kitten champ there…… that another thing entirely. I Shadow Refuge it.

Sleel.8365:

Funny. I wasn’t aware I needed your permission on if I want to play a game I like how I want to play the game I paid for. When you are paying for my game and net connection, then you can tell me I should be grouping if I don’t want to. And I do, when I want to. See no reason I should have to be dragged around in a group cause “it’s a MMO”. By that kinda defective reasoning, everyone should have to be in groups to take part in events, it’s an MMO after all. Gotta be in groups or you have no bizz being on the server.

I mostly avoid groups, cause most of them have wads like you telling them how they should play your way or you are a bad player. Yeah. Cause being able to solo group events and Champs make me bad. And not wanting to follow someone else around makes me bad. If YOU don’t want PvE in a game, then maybe you should go play a sandbox multiplayer game that has none rather then tell me I have to play your way. My money, my game, my way. You wanna group all the time, go for it. I prefer my roving freedom and the ability to group up and leave when I want. Till you are paying me to play your way, I wont

This is a very ignorant post. Don’t group then. The topic is about having more mechanical depth and reasoning behind even grouping in the largest part of the game, the overworld. It’s definitely an issue for most MMO players. You seem like this is perhaps your first MMO. Anyways, i think you’re stance is a little bit ill-founded and antagonistic rather than constructive. Just pointing this out.

The future skill / trait / encounter designs need to be made with parties and mechanical depth in mind if they plan to keep many players playing and paying. It’s simple to see unless you have a very limited, narrow perspective. This is an MMO and they have to cater to many types of players. Majority rules, i think you’re the minority view in this issue, but i may be wrong. We shall see.

Yup. my first one….. you know what they say about assumptions right? I just don’t like my game playing being tied to what someone else wants me to do. Yup, wanna group with those. Don’t want me telling you to shove it or pay my way if you wanna tell me how to play? Then don’t tell me how to play. Well, maybe not ‘you’ but the guy the post was actually replying to. But hey, jump in on comments that have nothing to do with you.

My stance is based on MY preferences.

Ahh, well, ain’t turning that off. Got better things to do then keep hitting 1 on my keyboard till it wears out and I have to replace it for a single key.

So what? Grind your face off for comps, or grind your face off for gold to buy it. Still grinding the same time, just for a diff reward using a diff path. Point?

Gestankfaust.4216:

Hmmm…you say you’ve shot them. Yet you think the range should be increased in game. Did you think this through? The effective range is kinda spot on….

I can throw my dagger as far, spot on my hairy…. ppl kinda invented and use bows cause it can shoot kitten farther then they can throw it. Aka: bout 4 of my Norn’s body lengths (shortest Norn you can make too, so none of this look how big they are crap, mine is only slightly taller then a human)

Then you have the time it takes to shoot it. By the time I fire my infiltrator arrow to the pathetically close spot it can reach, I’ve run half the distance.

And pretty sure the shortbow I used was made in modern times. Good shot too, well, then, don’t any more. I’d prob suk now x]
Laminated recurved wooden shortbow. Was nice, but I pref the longbow, can’t be bothered with compound bows, so dunno bout them. I like the old stuff.

Same name I’ve been using since 1994 for everything to do with computers, online or not. Main character of the book Black Steel by Steve Perry. Only use a diff name if it’s taken. If it was allowed, ALL my toons would be Sleel, “I’m” playing the game, not the toon.
Where it ain’t allowed I make up dumb “last names” so I can still use Sleel, Tun Gestya this time. No, it dun mean anything, just made up a random noise and made it a word. Or incorporate Sleel into a “clan name” and use it as a last name if I can’t for a first. So, if you see a Sleel running around, might be me. Deff me if it’s “_of_Wpg”, use that in some cases, but never in a game.

UnderdogSMO.9428:

Dyroth.5063:

I agree that scaling an AoE damage vs the number affected is probably the best way to go about this. In return AoEs should be allowed to hit slightly more targets.

Yeah…. cuz if I set a bomb off in a group, it’s only gonna do full damage to one guy, the rest get off with a bruising…… try dodging if you don’t want to get hit with AOE. I see ppl do it all the time…… come to think of it, I do too.

Well yeah the closer you are to an explotion the more it rips you apart. Also this is a video game.

And you could also say its far easyer to dodge single target.

Like I said. See ppl dodging cannon and other AOE stuff all the time. See a red circle appear, dodge. Can’t see how that is hard. Don’t even have to get out of the circle if you are in the middle of the dodge animation, yup, seen that too.

And sure, if you are further away from an explosion it does less damage. If you are actually far enough from it for the blast to be attenuated. (hint, that explosion that tosses Cruise around like a rag doll in one of his Mission movies, he wouldn’t be getting slammed against the car (sideways from an explosion from behind) and getting up to run some more, the shockwave from that range would have turned all his insides to goo) If not, enjoy you liquified insides, the shock wave doesn’t care if there is 1 person in the AOE or 10. Nor does my poison cloud AOE (thief), or it shouldn’t.
Don’t bunch up and you wont get taken out by a grenade, metaphorically speaking, tho I guess an Engineer could make that literal.

What really needs to be increased with the shortbow is the range. I’ve shot real bows. I can assure you, they shoot further then I can throw a dagger, which is as far as I can shoot my bow. Same range as the dagger toss skill (Thief).

Rehashed Jibe Tube.7102:

In my oppinion, if you want to shell out the money for 5 accounts and play em all at once….give ’er.

Unless you bot them.

^ This. What unfair advantage? Is the dual/multi-logger gonna come gank you with his ‘army’? Course, seems a fair pile of PITA to do without being a script kiddie. But if I can afford multiple accounts, it’s no ones bizz if I wanna log em all at the same time. My monies, my time, my game. Unfair advantage. Pfft. Not like they kill stealing or loot ninjas like on other games. As long as they aren’t botting, let them handicap themselves by trying to multitask as if they were a multicore CPU.

Hell, if you can pull it off saves you wasting your time trying to get a PUG together. Especially for those of us that primarily solo. (spare me the de rigour, then why you playing an MMO comments) Not that I’d wanna try that in a dungeon, but can see where it be useful at times. (seems to much like work trying to run more then one toon at a time usefully)

Urthona.3198:

I think the concern is that GMs may not have a way to verify that bell spamming was happening. They might check the player’s chat logs, see nothing, and assume you were abusing the report feature.

Well, if the GM’s are dumb enough not to know where the report for the bell gets posted…. after all, they made the game, one would think they would know where to find the log for the bell.

Actually the Steampunk theme of the Charr was something I actually liked. Not a fan of Charr myself though, but I do like their theme they got going on. I mean it’s been over 200 years and times change. The Charr have always been known for their engineering skills since the beginning, so it makes sense that they have evolved as they have.

I was rather disappointed though to see all this new Steampunk stuff, but barely any Steampunk outfits. Was hoping to get some fancy cogwheel-themed armor or something at least. Even some fancy rifles/pistols. But barely anything in that department.

So basically, smear cogs and gears all over something, regardless of if they have a point = steampunk. At least from any example of it I’ve seen.

pure mid evil game.

Dude..

Neither right nor left and surely not MID EVIL!

And it´s Norn!

Boy, hadn´t had such a powerful grammar-nazi attack in ages.
Whew, glad it´s over.

So kittening what

Well, the what is some people aren’t content to wallow in their own craptacular ignorance. Apparently, you are, feel free and get used to being corrected by those who aren’t. I always get a kick out of those who go so what, like being ignorant was something to be proud of.

Never used em once to buy gear for use. Just to sell junk. Never really paid attention to the skins since I didn’t transmute one till I was in 70’s. Never even looked at them.

Asura and Sylvari have pretty good story lines until level 50. I also liked the vigil and order of whispers. Good luck.

Treaherne is the Kormir of GW2…he ruins stuff.

Yup. Once you hook up with the Sylvari boffin, it isn’t ‘your’ story anymore. It’s the story about how you became his lackey.

^ Same. Get some bug where I just roll in place. Really love it since it means you don’t evade some attacks. Seems to happen if terrain changes where you are, rock or some other type of crap that “blocks” your movement. And I’m talking bout little rocks, not boulders you need to jump over, or climb.

-Four players can completely revive a dead person while in combat in around 5 seconds and a downed player with a sliver of hp left in around 2.5 seconds. Pretty sure those numbers are accurate but I haven’t precisely timed it.

Ahh, well then…it’s just fine and dandy right? It’s not like the boss won’t be kind enough to let your whole group stack up in one spot to resurrect someone. He won’t cast some nasty aoe spell that kills everyone in one-hit while they try to resurrect or anything. /rolleyes

You name a boss that does a deadly AoE attack and attacks in intervals faster than 2.5 seconds.

Subject Alpha

AND of course, everyone else will be, conveniently when you down, at full health and buffed up and not have to worry about any AOE’s

Lucky.4263:

idea: get rid of the dodge and downstate mechanic replace them with “real” healers and "real " tanks… after that u can do whatever the hell u want with the dungeons.. IMO there is no real tactics to any of these boss fights or dungeons, its dodge dodge doge rez rez rez roll yur face across your KB blow all CD rinse and repeat… just MO tho.

Yeah. Cause if someone is going to hit me, I wont dodge it. Cause…… why?

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

They already said that they nerv the dungeon to become easier… I really don’t get how you can complain about difficulty here. Group-play gets rewarded so make sure to stand next to each other for a quick rezz, enemies won’t hit that hard anymore so dungeons probably become rather easy (which I don’t like).

Let’s see how the new boss-mechanics play out.

Or , make sure to stand together so you all get caught at once in the same AOE.

I love my Charr, and you can’t help the separatists because going back to war means we lose to the dragons. :P

I know……. but how about as post end game stuff? Ppl keep kvetching about having nothing to do after endgame besides grinding a legendary (and I know I wont be, have yet to see one worth the bother, and a skin isn’t worth the bother, better gear is.) Sure, this kinda idea would have to be instanced and, more then likely, not workable, but I can dream.

As for most hated, as mentioned in a prev post, for me: Asura. Those midgets annoy the hell outta me. When I was in their rat’s warren of a city I heard an NPC go on about being hung up by his ears for two days during the Golem Revolt. I’m sure he deserved it and I laffed me nether regions off.

The Only EAK.9456:

Instead of removing the keys, how about fixing BLT Chests? I have over 200 of the things and, sorry Anet, you’ve yet to put anything in them with a drop rate worthy of me risking my money.

So this. From the dross I get out of a given BLC I will never use real money to get a key. Want me to buy a key, put actually useful stuff in the chest and NEVER equip I can’t use. Hell, for real money, they better have gear I can at least decon for ectos. As it is now, they are barely worth keeping in the vault in case I get a key as a drop.

I think players who post but don’t play bring a very unique — and important — perspective to discussion about the game.

I think people that post but don’t play bring very little to any discussion. Especially those that say things like, “I haven’t logged in since 2 weeks after launch” or “WoW is so wonderful, you guys should come play”. They have no idea what updates and patches have brought to the ingame experience, they are operating on old info.

For all we know they haven’t even rolled a toon, just bought the account to gamebash or try to promote their favorite game, they may have been banned for exploiting or talking trash for all we know

The game did not die when you stopped playing. Colin stated in the interview yesterday that both sales and concurrency are up, we see iit in game, they lift the server caps every 2 weeks or so and within a week 1/2 the servers are already capped at Full again.

Game’s doing great, people everywhere. Not surprising, it’s a really great game

Bought the account to gamebash? Yeah….. cuz kitten away 60 bucks to kitten about a game they don’t like and don’t play is what people do. Might wanna find out why ppl don’t play anymore rather then say they don’t have a valid opinion once they stop. Having servers full of accounts that don’t login isn’t ‘full’. Can relate. Hitting a wall myself.
More from overplaying over holidays and friends not really loggin on anymore. So not much they can do about my doldrums, but they might about other ppl’s, if they bother to pull their head out of their rectums long enough to free up their ears. Lotta broken stuff in the game on lotta fronts, ppl that quit because of them doesn’t make them no longer a problem cause the person no longer plays.

Keiran.1896:

Active players, less than WoW I’d like to say, even if I prefer GW2.

How do I know? A few days ago I checked both WoW and GW2 pages on Facebook…

Last publication by World of Warcraft was 2 hours ago when I went there ; just over 8000 likes.
In that time, GW2 poorly manages to get 200-500 likes. When I came from WoW page, they were adding pictures to the fanart album posted over 1 month ago!! ; only 6000 likes.

So, several possibilities:
- Active players on WoW have 50 times more Facebook accounts than active players on GW2.
- GW2 posts crap so nobody likes it.
- GW2 is so awesome that players are stuck in the game and never go on facebook.
- GW2 has definitly less active players.

Nother possibility is that many of us could give a flying kitten about facebook and hitting the like button, even if we looked at it in the first place.

plasmacutter.2709:

its not about selling them, it’s about the capacity to do anything but vendor.

No items should be unsalvageable without good reason.

No item should be unsalvageable period, full stop, end of story. The bauble is mine, if I want to decon it, that’s my bizz, period. Never mind ascended. I’m sick of not being able to salvage soulbound stuff cause I had the temerity to use it. And no, not all soulbound. Can’t even sell the crap to trash vendors, have to just throw it out to clear space. Heaven forbid I should decon the gear I outgrew.

I never use the A, E keys to turn. That what holding the Rmouse button down is for. Don’t really like that tho. Seems painful how slow you turn using just keys.

Don’t like em myself either. Don’t see why they should be removed cause someone doesn’t tho. Personally wish I could help the Separatists kick charr kitten rather then always have to help the charr. But that not the storyline so, meh.

Funny. I wasn’t aware I needed your permission on if I want to play a game I like how I want to play the game I paid for. When you are paying for my game and net connection, then you can tell me I should be grouping if I don’t want to. And I do, when I want to. See no reason I should have to be dragged around in a group cause “it’s a MMO”. By that kinda defective reasoning, everyone should have to be in groups to take part in events, it’s an MMO after all. Gotta be in groups or you have no bizz being on the server.

I mostly avoid groups, cause most of them have wads like you telling them how they should play your way or you are a bad player. Yeah. Cause being able to solo group events and Champs make me bad. And not wanting to follow someone else around makes me bad. If YOU don’t want PvE in a game, then maybe you should go play a sandbox multiplayer game that has none rather then tell me I have to play your way. My money, my game, my way. You wanna group all the time, go for it. I prefer my roving freedom and the ability to group up and leave when I want. Till you are paying me to play your way, I wont

Fail to see how since you don’t like them they should be removed. You don’t like em, don’t play em. Or is someone in your house holding a gun to your head forcing you to roll one?
