Guild Wars 2

Brangien.7462:

In short, I’m not here to be elitist, but if a magic find person is trying to weasel in, it becomes my business because that means I have to play harder…the dungeon becomes longer, and higher chances to wipe…all to carry a leeching parasite, and the odds are I will never see him again. *No tnx. Not wasting your time, not wasting mine.

This! Same as having little AR in FotM, i don’t see problem cause you will be kicked anyway, it just saves us time.

Morrigan.2809:

Sovta.4719:

And if you are good i don’t see problem with gear inspection, if you are noob good players will kick you anyway from harder dungeons.

People can’t tell if you are a noob by inspecting your gear- so it is not needed.

Also every single one of us was a noob at this game once- it takes 5 min of explanation to explain an encounter, no more noob.

Unfortunately not all the time in the world will cure the elitism that will come from such a feature.

Yea, try explaining it in FotM. I mena if Arenanet wanted this game to be “played the way you want” they wouldn’t introduce ascended gear and agony! They made more elitism and they will eventually introduce gear check, i’m just asking for it sooner then later.

And if you are good i don’t see problem with gear inspection, if you are noob good players will kick you anyway from harder dungeons.

What if i am on my first 80, and want gear from said dungeons. Should i forget it, or join other noobs maybe? Are they reserved for the el33t?

Heheh. There are many factors.

Join others. That’s how i learned arah and some other dungeons, that is why i don’t want to join lvl 30 fotm with 25 AR and i know i can finish it, i don’t want to bring risk to good player, i don’t want them to carry me.

And if you are good i don’t see problem with gear inspection, if you are noob good players will kick you anyway from harder dungeons.

Sovta.4719:

YES!!! We need this! If you think we don’t then you are noob. If someone took his time to learn to play and wants EFFICIENCY in dungeon he should not suffer by playing with noobs.

If someone wants efficiency in dungeons he won’t play with pugs

True
But i don’t have my own dungeon runing group and can’t always find 4 more guys from guild that want to do same dungeon (my guild has aroung 30-50 online players prime time)

YES!!! We need this! If you think we don’t then you are noob. If someone took his time to learn to play and wants EFFICIENCY in dungeon he should not suffer by playing with noobs.

Sovta.4719:

Even if you buy it good players will figure out you are noob when doing harder dungeons.

It’s not like that people who have done it legit are any better than those who have bought or failed at Simin.

pdfrod.1948:

Exactly. So why buy it?

Achievemet points.

Yea, players who killed simin regular way must be noobs.
Achievement points (if you mean Hobby dungeon explorer) are mostly bugged anyway.

Sovta.4719:

Why bringing thief to dungeon? For Daily Healer achievement! (yea i know you can heal NPC)

That can be said about every unaware player playing glass cannon.

This is true, but other thing for guardian its not. Guardian doesn’t need so much defence as long as he knows what to do. Good guardians bring 2 or more gears anyway, just see AH trait +
giving might to allies on EVERY critical.
I’m just saying in dungeons like Ascalon fractal, Shaman fractal and so on (20+) i would rather have bad guardian than ok thief.

They can support you with shouts and have some nice banners (i play guardian mostly now so don’t know them really well.
But then again DPS with nice survivability is always good for me

Negrul.5423:

What is it with some players that care so much how others play this game? If you get the title, than you deserve it, regardless of how you got it: paying or playing.

What is the point of buying out a title?

Even if you buy it good players will figure out you are noob when doing harder dungeons.

RoadKill.7459:

you can run any instance in gw2 with all 5 players in mf gear no problem.

I’m waiting for you video of killing simin.

randomfightfan.4091:

they can bring more to the group then any other class.

hahahahaha, what can you bring more then guardian or warrior? afther them mesmer?

Helenorz.2547:

but if you kick half way through, you’re not going to get far either though?

We can just go outside and find another player with enough AR (like in other dungeons, you suck at Lupicus? kick)

Gear check, simple

and there should be option for AR in LFG system (like, look for only 20ar+ players and so)

Sometimes it can take to much time and i can’t guess if they are wearing MF gear. (they can link me some other gear)

Will we be able to kick other players from FotM after the patch? (MF leechers, little ar)

We need this for dungeons. I know this has been talked about and i hate to be elitist, but in FotM, especially with upcoming patch this is MUST! Some people are not only bad players (you can learn to be good) but just dumb. We told them how to do something, we told them don’t attack boss till ready and what do they do? Aggro boss immediatly after respawn from checkpoint. In most of the other dungeons 3 good players can carry others, but here cause of agony and so many MF leechers it’s not so easy. Sorry for bad english.

Point of glass canon is to do more dmg BY YOURSELF and guys that use that build/gear are not very good at math cause with few tweaks in build/gear you can make youar PARTY dps/survavbility or something much better. But then you won’t see those shiny numbers on screen.

Maybe you shoud put some unique 6th skill for unique weapons (not only legendarys, weapons from dungeons, craft and specific bosses too)

Guesting who? My friends don’t really play this anymore (or very rare)

I was playing this FoM with a warrior who has 6+ ascended rings, legendary (percusor from MF) and he is still a noob (signets, no desire for team play, died very fast)
Guess what, on that run he got another ring! Did he pay for diamonds or something so they reward him, cause it’s really stupid now, really no need to work on your skill, just grind grind grind grind.

The real problem will be if they introduce a new zone whit agony mechanics.
But that new dungeon will be probably bugged/exploited like all other, so no real problem there after all.

nah, that is what’s all about gear treadmill, now they will put some other thin to chase (other type of item or new infusions) and make the first ones easier (but not to easy) to obtain
Welcome to the Machine

It is hard sometimes to find ppl willing to do them, i was thinking this could be like LoL system (just random ppl against random, but balanced, not 4 guardians against 3 thiefs and staff like that). Yea you will probably get mixed up with bad players but who cares, hardcore players already have teams for paid tpvp.

Hahaha, if you can’t figure out what he said then really no hope for human race.

This is great idea, only reasons against this are maybe tehnical issues.

Gear check probably and other things from Wow
Maybe some zone where you have to have agony resistance and things like that

Great idea
Maybe make them harder + more rewarding (with loot) as time goes, so more ppl will play on some maps.

Since FoM is pretty much killing PvE on some maps, this would be really great for players that wanna do events for fun. Also NPC should be there ONLY if there are not other players around you (so it is not like that henchman or something system from gw 1, didn’t play it).

Roargathor.2743:

That’s another problem. People jumping ship because they want to be on a “Winning server”… I just want a competitive server. Fort Aspenwood was fine for a while, but ever since the FOTM, WvW has been suffering huge loss of participation. I think this is the case on most servers. It was a terrible mistake to introduce more vertical progression that is exclusively attained in PvE. I know they aim to fix this, but if they don’t make it available in WvW, then they should never have introduced it in the first place.
Back on topic, I seriously doubt that the 18 “Full” servers are actually full. I’m pretty confident that FC is trying to artificially even out populations by locking the higher pop servers from transfers. I say this because weeks ago it was fairly easy to see the fluctuation from “very high” to “Full” and back when refreshing the server list. That doesn’t happen anymore. Over the last few days, the list of “Full” servers has not changed, and I have checked all throughout the day and night, into the wee hours of the morning with no changes. So I have the choice to play with my GF on a server with NO wvw participation, or move to one of the WvW deficient leftovers…. WEAK SAUCE.

But how do you know they aim to fix it? How hard is for programers to import in game some codes so you can buy ascended gear for () amount of Badges?

Raine Akrune.8416:

My server is just as active as it used to be. All we lost were the GW1 fanboys that wanted an RPG and the content locusts. Sorry, but I highly doubt this idea will even be considered. It would be hard to implement since technically all servers run on a super server and they’d have to make changes to everything.

Define “active” server? Doing FoM all the time? Go to the some mid-level zone, like Dredgehaunt Cliffs or something and see how many players are there. Whats the point of all those Meta events then?

karma.8763:

please no, all it would do is separate the community, and with what numbers we have now, that would be a bad idea.

But community is separated as it is and many have quited the game.
I meant quite oposite.

Not sure how much is this tehnicly possible, but it would be great idea to open server (or change one) with no vertical progression gear and more open world PVE based gameplay (dungeons too). Yea, this kind of server would not be good in WvW but it will be for PVE/more casual oriented players anyway, (like it was meant to be).
Sorry if bad english.

evolverzilla.2359:

It happened on GW1, only a few of these unusual players stayed, almos all players are civil and really know how to do something and even try to be helpful. The problem was only with some people that never listen to party leader and things start to be reall nervous.

More i play gw2 these days, more i want to play gw 1 (never played it)

just see how many players are active in you guild in peak time, i had around 80-100 player month ago, now around 30-50. All my RL friends quited the game like i was, i just came back to see if it’s getting better and it isn’t, that is reality.

evolverzilla.2359:

We just have to wait for the new shinies to call the attention of the new gen players. They run to the new game to turn it a new kitten. And we can enjoy a less problematic community.

I’m really, REALLY hoping this will happen cause GW2 isn’t what it was (was supposed) to be.

And you are doing all those Meta Events in near empty maps alone i guess?

They should make it like if you kick someone you get much lower reward (DC and leavers should not count toward this) and if whole party is alive at the end of the last boss you get some bonus, things like that.

this happened to me today, never happened before Lost Case…Shore thing

i know about ressing, but this was just stupid cause boss couldn’t really do them anything (that mage crusher in arah p3)
since Lost Shores comunity atitude really got worse

Hm, ok then, didn’t know
But they still didn’t ress us (and i was really close to them with no mobs around me, champion at 75%)

Hmm, not sure if its same loot, one guy in my last guild told that you don’t get money from the last boss in AC (i think p2) if you are dead while he dies, but it was 2 months ago
But this is just one of the many problems that they said they will fix and it gets even worse every time

Bah, i stoped playing this when they introduced Ascended gear and grind based gameplay and came back to see if anything is better but it’s even worse
2 of the guys in party didn’t even want to ress us just so they can get better loot from one of the champions (and one of them got exotic, while we got blues) tolerated that, but this is just anoying

Ok, noob question (cause i played dungeons for fun, not really grinding gold or exploiting) why whould he reset?
And good job Arenanet for ruining another thing, now i can’t even play with others for fun in dungeons (yes i have guild, yes i play them but not all the time they want to play what i want or other way around)

“This game is about fun.” – GW2 Developers

We were at last boss in Arah p3 when we were kicked out. It appears that party leader left but he says he didn’t so is this bug or someone exploited us somehow?

Donkey here! HEEEEHAWWWW!

I love the end game gear progression. Hitting a wall and never growing from 80 is a horribad idea in my opinion.

So why aren’t you playing one of the games designed for vertical progression from the get go. That have a lot more content for you to run through?

Rift? TOR? WOW? Aion?

Because all those games suck? And it has nothing to do with their gear progression. LOL.

The only game I can think of that did gear progression, and did it horribly wrong and that’s why it failed, was WARHAMMER online.

And I’m here because unlike you, I’m happy with gw2. “Why are you still here?” would be the better question?

We are here cause forums are now much more fun then game

As long as players give them money why should they care?
