Guild Wars 2

Funny how AC gives 1.5g and everything else gives 1g (except Arah). By their logic, CoE, SE, CM, and every other dungeon path & dungeon are just as easy and time consuming as CoF P1.

Because that’s how they evaluated how much money these dungeons give, right?

Honestly I could care less about the prices of the champion loot I don’t buy that kinda stuff anyway. I’m thinking of the effects this will have on new players or just leveling players in general. It’s messed up.

No problem Akamon. And yeah I agree that champions should be at least a certain level to be able to drop rare or exotic champion loot containers. Even more so the fact you can get one of the more expensive skins (rapier) from a soloable champion in Queensdale… that’s a bit ridiculous.

Toasty.5014:

You’ve been playing, or at least posting, for a very long time and not only are you leveling MULTIPLE of the same race (and the race with one of the worst storylines in the game I might add) they’re all under level 10? That alone confuses me but it’s mostly irrelevant…

Getting past the first zone doesn’t take more than an hour or so. Your only complaint is because people are doing events. Why does that matter? I’m actually, genuinely, confused. They do them before you can get there is the only complaint I can see. That’s not exactly a reasonable..well..reasoning… If anything you should be happy. With people doing events that means you actually can do them too. Just when someone calls them out, get there as soon as they do. Then yay you win. Or just do what they do and keep the timers open so you’ll know when they’re going to pop. I’m sorry that you’re too slow for an event but I can’t really side with you on this.

Now keep in mind, I don’t disagree entirely. I’d like to see more people in Orr (back in october there was always a big wave of people. Ran through the area on my new level 80 just tonight and I saw 4 people total) or similar locations so I can actually get stuff done. Having near every possible way point that has the ability to be contested, be contested 24/7, is really annoying.

But you’re being silly at best.

I have 22 characters and my girlfriend recently got back into the game and wanted to level some alts up with me. So I decided to play some of my other characters. I have 5 other 80s and that’s because my “main” has about 90% of the total game time on my account so I don’t usually level alts.

This has nothing to do with me though there’s a big problem with the way these champions are designed. They die WAY too fast, spawn way too quickly, and cause a massive flock of level 80s to do nothing but camp Queensdale all day.

Imagine new players being told to go to other zones because “its time for the big level 80s” to farm the events. When a level appropriate player can’t get credit for events (if they even make it there) there’s a problem.

Coldin.2840:

The champion farm in Queensdale is a bit crazy. What’s most crazy about it is how poorly these champions scale up with the amount of players involved. These champions die just as fast as veterans. If there’s one thing I’d see changed, it’s making these champions scale up in health a lot more just so there’s more time for players to move to the event once it starts.

That is my point. These things die quicker than 30 seconds in most cases.

Silavor.6257:

It definitely got a lot more attention back in the other forum. I’d hate to see this die out just because no one will look at it.

Who do I need to talk to about getting this thread moved back to where it’ll actually get attention again? Because it got so much attention in the QJ thread… which I felt it was relevant enough for that subject to stay there, but apparently the mods saw differently.

Is there any way I can get it sent back there without re-making it?

Edit: found the email to appeal the action and get the thread moved back to the other forum. Hopefully they do it.

DeadlySynz.3471:

I think with the recent nerf in WvW loot, these champion farm trains are here to stay unless they re-instate the loot in WvW.

Exactly. They keep nerfing things like WvW and Orr… meanwhile there’s 100 80s flocking through Queensdale farming champions every single minute of the day. NO other zone has this amount of rapid spawning, easily killed champions.

SpeedFiend.4521:

There’s four 1-15 zones to choose from, if you don’t like the champion circruit farmers go to Wayfarer or Metrica Province. Why does a (completely intended) part of the game need to be nerfed just because of what you want?

Ok once again it’s more of a problem than that. Do you not feel that it’s a problem that every player flocks to ONE zone and the other maps in the game are just barren? Not only that, I want to play through the human zones… being a human and all. I shouldn’t have to make way for level 80s to get their farming in the starter zones.

What other zone, at ANY level, has this amount of champions that spawn this quickly and do even faster? This is a problem.

Sitkaz.5463:

You could guest to a low population server for a while? I know it isn’t perfect but it’ll let you play in the meantime.

That’s the thing. People say “Guest or transfer.. go to other zones”

I shouldn’t have to. I’m leveling in a starter zone on a level 9 human, I want to play in the human starter zone and not have the same 5-10 level 80s zerging every event and 1 shotting everything that isn’t a champion :|

Bame.7963:

Just hit 80, it took me under 2 weeks. I bought a set of exotic gear with gems, thinking it would be a good base to start grinding the higher end gear, only to find, it IS the higher end gear. Really? That’s it? There’s no tiers of end game gear to pursue? sPvP everyone has the same gear? There are no higher tiers? This is a HUGE disappointment. This game went from being the most beautiful and fun game I’ve ever played to absolutely pointless. What the hell are people supposed to do at 80? Cosmetics sets? LOL.

If the game doesn’t provide any 80 content to work for, it should at least take more than 2 weeks to level up. Horrible game design in my opinion.

You described GW1 as well. Welcome to Guild Wars. Plenty of other games out there that have gear treadmills and gear advantages to other players.

This Queensdale champion loot train needs to stop. Since the update, level 80s flock Queensdale all day and night and own the events in less than 20 seconds. It’s making it extremely difficult to level up in these zones when none of the events are doable because level 80s steam roll them before you can even get there.

I’ve been called a troll all night for requesting the level 80s to go somewhere more appropriate for them since I can’t go anywhere. “Go to other starter zones to level!” “Go to another zone!” “Craft!”

So because I’m leveling human characters all of which are under level 10, I now can’t do any of the Queensdale events because Anet has made them so appealing for level 80s to farm.

The people calling me a troll tell me that they log on and kill the champions all day – that’s all they do. Because it’s more profitable and easier than doing stuff like Orr or Frostgorge event farming.

So why does Orr keep getting nerfed but places like Queensdale have champions spawning every 3 minutes? Why do level 80 zones feel the need to populate ONLY QUEENSDALE (none of the other starters have this many convenient and this number of champions)??

Something needs to be done to motivate players to populate more maps in the game world – not just have everyone flock to Queensdale 24/7 to farm champions. Usually I’m doing dungeons or fractals with the guild to notice this but even at launch it wasn’t this bad.

Please tell me there’s a better way.

Yep… sigh… 2k views in 24 hours over there. 40 views since it’s been moved.

I approve of this thread. +1 all ideas.

crestpiemangler.7631:

TehPwnerer.7215:

Yet you’re asking for a free 100% map completion on a silver platter. Ironic.

Nope. I’m asking for 1-80 over a reasonable amount of time (say 80 hours) without stepping foot outside of SPvP.

I know you’re trying to bait me into insulting you, so you can report me, but I’m not falling for it… and I really appreciate the bumps

Not baiting you into anything I’m saying you’re contradicting yourself saying that you don’t want stuff handed to you, yet you’re saying that you want free stuff for aspects of the game you never play.

It’s simple. If you want PvE stuff play some PvE. Enjoy the bumps. Last time I post here.

Zacchary.6183:

Because suggestions is filled with frivolous desires and Queen’s Jubilee is filled with awesome.

Queen’s Jubilee is filled with hundreds of threads worded differently all saying “NERF QUEEN’S GAUNTLET”

crestpiemangler.7631:

Tuomir.1830:

I hunt down veteran karka as a hobby. I can assure you, it’s not pressing one button. If you don’t find challenge in PvE, you aren’t looking for it (though I’d like there to be many, many more interesting and challenging enemies in PvE).

And another thing, if PvE is so easy, why don’t you do it? Because you enjoy PvP more? Well then play PvP. I play both and it’s never bothered me that they are separate.

I don’t enjoy things that are easy and handed to me on a silver platter provided I do boring, tedious things ad nauseam.

Yet you’re asking for a free 100% map completion on a silver platter. Ironic.

Tuomir.1830:

And another thing, if PvE is so easy, why don’t you do it? Because you enjoy PvP more? Well then play PvP. I play both and it’s never bothered me that they are separate.

Just summed it up for me too.

I’d like to request that a mod please move this thread back to Queen’s Jubilee sub-forum so that it can get the proper attention it had before moved here. This forum has like 10 people check it a day where QJ forum has 100s of posts an hour.

Im Mudbone.1437:

All I can say is, because that’s how they want it.

It must be. I had a pretty good thread going. 2k+ views, tons of support, and then it gets moved to the Suggestions thread… Since then it’s gotten 3 views and not another reply. Figures.

And another thing. Have any of those suggestions actually seen the light of day in-game? I highly doubt it. All I can say is that’s pretty shady to just send valid threads away to die just as they start gaining support.

crestpiemangler.7631:

TehPwnerer.7215:

All this time you’re sitting here begging Anet to give you things you didn’t earn can be spent in game earning them.

It’s a game, not a job. I play a game to have fun. You shouldn’t have to “earn” anything if it involves something a toddler could do.

The whole point of a game is having some kind of challenge to it. Rewarding people for doing things that aren’t fun in a game is simply stupid. It’s like asking somebody to count out loud to 5 trillion and awarding him 100 dollars for it.

I found exploring the map to 100% extremely fun. Bottom line is if you don’t want to spend time getting something, don’t expect to get it.

crestpiemangler.7631:

TehPwnerer.7215:

Ok cool. Well then enjoy your 0% map completion. Don’t worry it’s super easy to get.

Yeah 100% required two PhDs in the natural sciences and ESL twitch reflexes to obtain, I’m sure.

All this time you’re sitting here begging Anet to give you things you didn’t earn can be spent in game earning them.

…you scroll through the first couple pages of suggestions or general discussion there are no dev replies but you look at Living Story / Queen’s Jubilee, dev reply every other post?

Why is it that valid threads and suggestions brought up by players get a ton of attention and then moved to the suggestion forum where posts go to die?

Yet you see the same thread made 100 times ie: NERF LIADRA! NERF GAUNTLET threads 100x over get made and replied to?

I just don’t understand…

Ok cool. Well then enjoy your 0% map completion. Don’t worry it’s super easy to get.

All account-bound special minis should be this way.

So because you find sPvP more challenging than other aspects of your game (your opinion not a fact) you feel like you should get map completion? I’m rank 20 in PvP and have 100% map completion. Should I be boosted to Rank 60 because I play tons more PvE than PvP?

No.

Psycho Robot.7835:

You could also just not do them. Is there any particular reason this is not a valid option for you?

Not do what?

Navzar.2938:

Yeah people don’t really look at the suggestions section much. So it’s not a place that will show how popular a suggestion is with the players.

I had it in Queen’s Jubilee forum since the weapon introduced in this patch is what I’m referring to a lot in my posts. But apparently since it’s not a “NERF LIADRA” post it can’t stay there.

As expected… Nobody’s seeing this thread now because it got moved :-l

Wait… what? How does this idea make sense?

The FDS looks better than it did in Guild Wars 1 at least.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Make-Queen-Arena-tokens-account-bound/first#post2588116

And about 10,000 other threads.

Agreed. But based on the Dev presence of this thread compared to the Queen’s Jubilee thread, I doubt any will even read this.

Talyn.3295:

Don’t blame anet for this one. Blame your fellow players. The Tokens started out as an account bound item. However players saw this an opportunity to exploit the game and create new characters put the 5 tokens we were given from the mail in their bank, then repeat. I am sure that there is a system in place that shows how often new characters are recycled so quickly.

The said truth of the matter is that everytime we are given something, there will be players who attempt to exploit it, and the rest of us simply get to deal with it after.

Pretty much this. There was another thread about this and I posted the same thing. People got 1000s of tickets this way so blame them for screwing it up for the rest of us.

And this got moved to the suggestion forum so likely less people will even see this now. Oh well I guess. Probably a better place for it anyway.

Updated the OP with a video from GW2 showing the effects comparing the Fellblade to the new 1 hander. May want to run your audio down I am not a video editor and I literally took a clip from my livestream and uploaded it to Youtube. There’s no obnoxious music or anything it’s just me talking but it may, MAY be a bit loud.

If you don’t want to scroll over to the OP the video is right here as well:

Edit: was just loud through my headphones but not my speakers so you should be fine.

MithranArkanere.8957:

Oh, weapons should be dyable.

Agreed but that’s a different thread.

If only the world worked like you think it does…

But it does not.

Okay.

MithranArkanere.8957:

Oh, weapons should be dyable.

Agreed but that’s a different thread.

Navzar.2938:

TThis thread isn’t asking for the runes if that’s what you means. Maybe OP should put that in bold at the top? :p

I agree I am fine with one or the other as well. Anything to make it nicer than what it is now is a great improvement that will leave me satisfied. I may just go ahead and add this as a bold preface to my entire post since apparently people still aren’t reading it and assuming I want purple fellblades for HoM.

Silavor.6257:

Ooh yes, can we please have that smoke effect on the actual Fellblades? I actually tend to forget that the current Fellblade has a smoke effect at all most days because it’s practically non-existent.

This. As I said later today I will upload a video with the current GW2 effect much like how I did with the GW1 effect in the OP. I will edit the OP accordingly and post when I do have it actually added.

I can’t agree with you more though – the current effect is practically non-existent.

Blackmoon.6837:

I’m aware of that. Just sayn’ so I don’t have to spam another thread.

Um… Ok then.

I’ve ONLY found this guy… Found like 5 of him. Real frustrating.

Blackmoon.6837:

I really do want that purple effect on my greatsword. So bummed they didn’t make it. :’(

We haven’t been talking about making the Fellblade purple. We’ve been talking about re-working the smoke effect.

Karril Daltaya.4980:

As a person who loves their Fellblade dearly, I very much support the idea of adding the better smoke animation! Please let this happen! It was like a kick in the sack to see this new /copy/ of my sword end up looking better than the one I have been carrying since headstart.

Couldn’t agree more. I was excited reading the new patch features but when I got to the screenshots I was very disappointed. I was hoping that on patch day I’d log in to find that the Fellblade had been ninja updated but no luck.

Bread.7516:

Mada.5319:

The op is not asking for the purple glow. He/she is asking for the smoke effect. Reading comprehension is hard!

And +1.

- I scan, I don’t fully read something trivial.

- It’s like you’re pointing a typo.

- It could have been summed up in a few lines; write an essay to make a minor point in any document and no one will read it. Anyone who has a decent job knows this.

Common sense is hard!

I’d ask that you read the post or at least the request. The request wasn’t “make it glow purple” it was “update the smoke effects.” I didn’t write an essay, I wrote what I wanted, why I wanted it, and gave comparisons – which I felt warranted more than “a few lines.”

I’m a game developer by the way. What were you saying about my decent job and common sense, now?

Back on topic:
Video is in the OP. While you’re watching it don’t forget to show your support in The Cantha Thread to help bring the beautiful region back to Guild Wars 2. Not sure why my sound wasn’t recording but it was just the in-game music anyway.

HawkMeister.4758:

TehPwnerer.7215:

Your solution won’t work either,

I see you don´t want to argue the point but just “win” an internet argument and defend beloved ANet.
Suit yourself, I´m tired of this game.
Especially when I´m supposed to argue with someone who doesn´t even understand my point.

Okay.

HawkMeister.4758:

TehPwnerer.7215:

Basically leave it up to the people who exploit to ruin it for everyone.

How about, leave it to ANet to make everyone suffer for their shoddy, shortsighted programming?

Obviously it´s too hard for them to send a mail to every character on an account only once then mark the account as “DONE”.

It seems that “exploit” of people deleting characters and rolling new ones comes as a stunning new surprise to ANet..
EVERY
KITTEN
TIME !!1!!1!evellen!

How about no. If people are too childish and feel the need to make tons of characters getting tickets every time with the intention to delete them they know they’re doing something wrong.

That’s not ArenaNet’s fault that’s people being people. The only alternative is making them soulbound – which they did. Thank the people who made 100s to even 1000s of tickets by doing this.

Your solution won’t work either, by the way for the same reasons they changed it. People can just keep making new characters with different names and bam – new tickets for their main character.

I agree it’s frustrating: camera angles are horrid, you can’t really see the area of effect circles all that well, and 1 shot gimmicky mechanics were shadow figures can spawn behind you and one shot you aren’t challenging or fun.

But I won’t quit over it.

Elbegast.6970:

It’s because people were creating characters, logging in and sending their free tickets to their main character. They would repeat this and get hundreds of tickets for little effort. I imagine it also caused problems for the game engine.

Was going to post this as well. Basically leave it up to the people who exploit to ruin it for everyone.

Astral Projections.7320:

I also admit to being disappointed by the Guild Wars 2 fellblade. The blade does have a mild smoking effect but is hard to see and the blade itself looks more battered and rusty than epic.

I am also asking for some of the HoM weapons to be relooked at. The Diamond shield is awful and the Stygian axe is bland. Not to mention that even though they redid the rainbow jellyfish, it looks nothing like the concept art.

Agree all around, though I kind of like that the Fellblade is sort of battered and weathered. While I agree that the Rainbow Jellyfish is more of a blue/green Jellyfish and the Diamond Aegis is more dull than shiny, this thread is mostly about the Fellblade. One step at a time! =)

Kain Francois.4328:

Well I hope the carebears are happy. More time-gated, daily BS which discourages you from running the same path multiple times, yippee!

Soon you will only be able to play Guild Wars 2 for 1 hour every 24 hours.
