I actually quite love the way it mixes with Sunrise. Good of them to do that in my opinion :P

Population by Class (and Race)

Lately I’ve started seeing Thieves everywhere to be honest. Elementalists are right up there in the top too. More and more of them each day :P

Why is Tier 3 gear so expensive?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sythus.2396

Sythus.2396

Like others have said, T3 is not about stats, it’s about the looks. I hope they don’t reduce it’s price because it will be quite unfair to those who’ve already bought it. It’s really more of a goal, it’s not meant to be something you get with 1 day of play.

What class maps best to which race?

Is Paragon in sight for the future?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Sythus.2396

The Guardian is specified in the lore as being a modernization of Paragon/Monk traditions. “Save yourselves!” was one of the Paragon’s most useful shouts back then. I loved the class, regardless what ANet or the playerbase thought of it, and miss my Paragon dearly. Having played a lot both Monk and Paragon Professions back then, I enjoy how the Guardian turned out to be (it’s not a Paladin-like class, not by a longshot, though many still think so.)

To point out, “Save Yourselves” was a WARRIOR skill in GW1, it’s just that Paragons were better at using it.

Personally I’d like to see some sort of Heavy or Medium armor class that uses Halberds/Spears and the like. Some sort of Lancer class type thing. Lots of gap-closer/opener skills and the like.

Honestly I think the guy who is talking about new weapons is right.

I think we can expect to see new weapon types and races such as kodan, tengu, etc before we ever see new classes.

Oh dear, I want Kodan as a playable race! But I’m with you on this one, I believe we will see new weapons or some weapons being added to professions before they introduce new ones.

I liked the old Sylvari race concept better

Although I, like you, love Elves I like the fact that they went with something a bit different. Sylvari feel more special and different now.

Guardian the best standalone PvE class?

in Guardian

Posted by: Sythus.2396

Sythus.2396

Guardians the best PvE class? Maybe the most boring PvE class.

Care to elaborate why? I’ve played a Guardian since the BWE’s and I find it the most interesting out of all classes, especially in PvE. Of course, this might just be me, but I just want to know why do you think we are the most boring?

Longbow, an idea

Posted by: Sythus.2396

Sythus.2396

Like others have said replace the bleed with burn, bleeds just don’t suit us. Other than that it looks very good. I’d love it if one day we are able to equip Longbows, but I don’t see it being any time soon sadly :/

Another thread about this, really? People should realise that you cannot have expansions a few months after the game has been released. No game works like that kitten

Mega Boss loot changes

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sythus.2396

Sythus.2396

Arenanet adds in guesting for players loyal to their servers who want to still play with their friends. Player abuse the system by farming bosses and create huge overflow problems across servers. Players QQ about guesting problems.

Arenanet seeks to solve above problem by changing the loot system so that players can only be garunteed 1 rare a day, giving players no reason to farm and thus, reducing overflow problems. Players stop QQing about guesting, and start QQing about loot drop nerfs.

This is why I refuse to work in Customer Service. There is no pleasing you people!!!

There’s no pleasing “you people” because ANet is inept. Instead of just preventing chests from guesting, which is the most sensible way to prevent the “guesting issue”, they nerf the drops themselves.

ANet went around championing this game as having no grind, yet all they do is make the game MORE grindy. It makes no sense.

Completely agree with you. All they do is nerfing the loot we are able to get and that’s it. This is not what I would call fixing. It is just punishing players. And that’s mostly what they’ve done since release..

Guesting/Overflow? Serious issues at events.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sythus.2396

Sythus.2396

Like Vayne above me has said the Overflow is a good solution. When I was playing WoW my server was one of the highly populated ones and a lot of the time there were queues to join in. And I don’t mean 5-10 mins. Most of the time it was between 1000-2000 people which meant you have to wait for hours to login. And God forbid if your connection failed for just a tiny second…

So yeah, overflow is a good solution. If you get in to overflow while there is an event ask a friend if he is in the normal one and just join him

What if at the end of the living story there is an event similar to the Karka one, with a chest that gives exotics/rares ? I can see it happening to be honest.

You know I have to laugh when I see a post like this, I’m not laughing at you it’s just the irony of the topic. I am getting 3x-4x more loot then I was prior to this patch. As an elementalist I was tapping every creature, receiving exp, but never getting loot. Now I am getting loot by barrels full.

I guess it’s all based on perspective.

This is weird, as I’m getting 3x-4x less loot then I was before. But I guess rng is rng

Extremely complex loot issue gets finally resolved. Player is still not thankful but goes even deeper into the conspiracy nonsense. Entitlement much?

At least a.net fixes these things. Complex issues take time. Really … what a stupid thread this is.

Let’s just way and see, eh? We still have no idea if it will get fixed. Yeah they’ve said they have found the problem, or so we hope, but that doesn’t mean anything yet. Fact is, they handled this in the worse possible way so we have the right to be kitten of about it.

I know this doesn’t quite relate to the topic but an hour ago I bought and used like 70 of those Jewellery Boxes in Orr and got only karma stuff and 15 Obsidian Shards. Previously when I used them I got at least 1 lodestone. I hope it was just rng being a d.ck and they haven’t stealth nerfed that as well!

  • Adjusted Orr Undead loot drops

Modification of the release notes, last post a few hours ago is ambiguous at best. I’ll bet my last copper it’s adjusted down, not up.

Obviously we were getting too much Porous Bones and this had to stop!

I’m just waking up so I’ll try farming CS today and will see how it goes, although I’m not getting my hopes up :/

How did this topic turn into monthly and whatnot. Even the official response did not help on the topic. If anyone has the daily veteran and has found out which ones work – please do help.

I don’t think they are really interested in helping us at all. Sorry folks, but from everything I’ve seen posted and moderator’s commentary, I get the feeling we are pooched, so to speak.

Sadly I agree with you too. I believe it will be another 2, or maybe more months, until someone from their team says something about this topic, and it will probably be something along the lines of – “Sorry folks, after a long and hard monitoring of the drops we have come to the conclusion that everything works fine etc etc” …

We have provided tons of information, although I believe this shouldn’t be necessary, yet nothing is done. Sad, sad days.

I posted this elsewhere, but just quickly wanted to update where we stand on this issue:

We’re continuing to look into this and have a team of folks sifting through insane amounts of data based on all of your reports. This is an incredibly time intensive and unfortunately mostly manual process while we work on building tools to streamline this in more automated ways so it’s going to take a while.

We’ll update once we have more tangible information to share.

Thanks for finally saying something on this issue, just don’t know why it took 2 months to get a response!

I really hope it will get fixed soon nonetheless as it is incredibly frustrating.
