Most of the time i go into an instance i spend 2X more in repairs then the reward at the end. really. there is 0 reason to run instances.
i had no problems with this game pre yesterdays patch. removing rewards to force us to buy gems really pisses me off. i can deal with the instance grind, i can deal with the karma grind, i can deal with the crafting grind.
I cant deal with being forced to buy gems. removing rewards from instances was hands down the dumbist thing this company could have done.
OP is clearly the God of GW2.
People were making Gold to fast. This reduced the amount of RL $$ Anet got from gemstore. THIS IS THE TRUE problem with speed runs.
dont let them lie to you and say it was too easy its always about the money. Its a F2P game they will do every thing they can to make sure you have to buy gems from them.
Just wait next patch way point teleporting will cost 5 gems or repairs will cost 10 gems. Its bound to happen my friends.
get a real computer and stop feeding the monster of Apple.
I agree the down level is fun but i wish i could turn it off so when i go to get ore and stuff i can just 1 hit every thing. the events are fun also.
you are 100% correct. This buff was hands down the worst thing they could have done for this game.
Sorry for the 4 posts. it wouldnt let me post it all in once with out tripple copping it making the post about 600 lines long.
Example #3
PvP.
Farm WvW for PVP tokens and it feels like you randomly get tokens for ONLY killing players nothing else awards tokens. So you must kill a player and stay alive and around the loot bag to get it if you dodge away from the look bag you miss your tokens.
Math time.
PvP armor is priced the same as PVE armor with just a less frequent drop rate.
I can’t even do the math because of the inconsistency of PvP token drops. But it feels like 2 tokens for every 5 kills. I am making an assumption so if I am wrong please correct me.
So 2/5 = .04 per kill.
1380/0.4= 3450 kills for 1 set of gear.
I have no problems with sPvP reward system.
I hope some of you found this helpful and somewhat informative. I want to state for the record I love this game and think Anet did a great job (excluding last night’s PVE patch what a horrid idea) on this game and I feel they will continue to do a great job. This is hands down the best MMO on the market.
Example #2 Instances.
1 instance run gives about 15 tokens (please correct me if I’m wrong). It costs between 180 to 330 tokens for 1 item.
(full set is 1380)
Math time.
1380/15 = 92 runs. That’s 92 runs for 1 set of armor.
There are 8 sets of instance armor. If you wanted them all that would be
92 X 8 = 736 runs total just for all the instance armor in the game. Not too bad only problem is that’s 92 runs of the SAME instance.
Example #1 Karma. At level 80 you have a few sets of karma gear. The best set is 44,000 karma a pice. HOLY kitten!
A normal heart/event gives about 300 to 400 karma.
Math time.
44,000/350 = 126 hearts for 1 piece of gear.
44,000X5= 220,000
220,000/350 = 629 hearts.
There are only 301 hearts in the game. So you must do EVERY heart in the game and still grind out 328 more events just for enough karma to get a set of gear. Not including a weapon.
(This does not include WvW karma gain for keeps and such or vistas.)
Before this game was released Anet stated there is no grind in this game. And for the most part they were right. There is little to no grind to leveling and leveling was extremely enjoyable.
BUT.. Once you hit max level.. That’s all there is to do is grind. You cant redo the story line and pick a different order to follow, you can’t redo hearts.
Who ever came up with this CoF buff needs to be fired ASAP. who ever approved it.. also needs to be fired.
What is wrong with speed runs? if people want to spend 10hrs a day running one instance let them. what difference does it make in the long run?
agree. but sadly i expected this from this company.
Farm instances every one. this is end game.. OH holy kitten. your going to fast NERF!!!
How about adding good gear drops to instances and remove tokens and add a cool down on the instances like WoW did because clearly thats what you are trying to do.
So let me get this right. were suposed to farm instances for tokens.. then turn the tokens into gear. and now were getting Reprimanded bc we run them to fast…. really…..
please no DPS meaters. this game will fail just as fast as wow if you do. oh player X is kicked due to not being good enough DPS. this will kill the guard class due to being the lowist DPS in the game.
i do agree that guards need a buff but i do fine with DPS. the problem comes in that at level 80 a guard has like 12k hp where a warrior has like 30k.
Yes they should.
Where is the best place to get karma because 44k is a lot comparied to getting gold in events and only getting 300 karma.
Go ranger. they own in PVP and easy to level in PVE.
Guards are easy to level in PVE and suck at PVP.
So we can magicaly post items on the trading post and the item is removed from our invantory. but yet we cant magicaly have the money in our pockets?
we have to go see a trader and remove our cash from the trading post. please explain that to me.
im really serprized they didnt add this before release. if i remember correctly we told them about the lack of LFG in beta was unacceptable.
repairs are fine they need to increase the amount of money made in WvW to counter the repair cost.
really this is a sugestion. why would u wnat to be “married” in a video game.
heh, there should be a -50% exp and -50% coin penility for begin male and being married
female should get +50% exp and +50% coin.
WTB LFG system.
PVE = Melee
WvW = Ranged
sPvP = mix
Were there other threads like this? i searched but found nothing. and if this is a repeat thread i am sorry just couldnt find any information on the topic.
They need to make a better LFG tool. not like wows just some thing to show people LFG and not spaming /map
so i take it every one is ok with standing in town spaming LFG. really.
So if your level 80 and not in a big guild finding a group for instances consists of spaming /map in lions.
Im sorry but this is poor design. i spend more time looking for a group then i do playing with said group.
We need a better way to find groups. I DO NOT WANT AUTO GROUPING like wow does. although in this game with no real tanks and healers it would be easy to do. pull 5 random people and toss them in a group.
I would love to see a LFG system like in DDO.
Anet any word on if this game will get improvements to the LFG system?
Hello every one,
I just started the guild Fallen Grace and I’m looking for more players for PVE and PVP.
Any old shadowbane players are welcome to join. WvW in this game is just like shadowbane. Any one from HoE, DHL, Warrior Nation or any guild is welcome to join.
Side note, any one is welcome to join. We are on server Eredon Terrace but willing to move to any server.
Vent is already set up.
Pm me if anyone is interested.
Ohhh the total duration goes up. i do see it. thank you.
Are you sure its a Queue for fire. when i autto attack and set some one on fire and then pop justice the timer resets and thats it. it doesnt count down then reapply.
And thank you for the info on bleed and posion
So after some testing i have found that the fire dot’s do not stack.
Yet bleeding and posion dots do stack.
Can any one tell me why this is?
