Thanks for the discussion on racial attributes and dredge + stealth.

So far we are on the notion that these racial attributes are for players only. How would you feel if they are applicable to the PVE mobs that you face as well?

The pve mobs have a nameplate which indicates briefly what types of attacks they use and their immunities. Should there be a weakness also to the race specific mobs?

This would affect how dungeons are currently played.

Nightmare court will be easier to kill with burns,but they will be immune to bleeding, The fire legion charr will be easier to chain fear and immobilised,etc.

Only applies to PVE. Not to PVP or WVW as I’ve previously mentioned due to balance issues.

Thanks for your opinion. But at the same time, isn’t using small asurans with less visible animations, considered a benefit in PVP? This contradicts what Arenanet would have said if your quote is accurate. But then again,there is a separate discussion for that elsewhere.

What about dredge and stealth? Should stealth be useless when used against dredge to coincide with immunity to blind?

According to the thread it does which makes rank bound chests pointless now.

“Items: Fixed a bug that would cause many PvP hammers to sometimes award the wrong tier of tokens when salvaged.the trick only worked with corrupted orrian hammers which gave dragon tokens and priory hammers which gave tiger tokens, now it won’ t work anymore.”

It wasn’t working as intended back then for dragon tokens, but is it working as intended now for the cultural and dungeon sets?Unless they have completely overlooked the matter haha

Since Dredge are eyeless creatures, they are immune to the condition “Blind”

But one of the more popular tactic in Dredge fractals is to utilise stealth to activate the panel/drop bombs/using the mining guns.

So the obvious question is, why do we lose aggro when using visual stealth against Blind dredge? Should the dredge be redesigned to maintain aggro despite players using stealth? This would make dredge fractal more unbearable of course so the quantity of dredge should be reduced for quality of dredge.

Destroyers are immune to burning, Plants and giants are immune to CC. Thus wouldn’t it be appropriate that the 5 playable races also have some benefits that is unique to each race? We can just limit it to PVE since it will have adverse balance effects on PVP/WVW.

Slyvari-
Immune to Bleed,
50% reduced duration and damage of poison debuff.
50% increased burn duration and spreads burn debuff to nearby allies.
Reason-Some plants are the main ingredients in poisons and plants do not bleed, but once a forest fire starts, it spreads easily and is hard to stop.

Asura-
Immune to Confusion,
50% increased duration of stun and daze debuff.
Reason- Geniuses will think systematically to find a solution and will not be confused. However,having a big skull does increases the chances of sustaining head related trauma.

Norn-
Immune to weakness,
50% reduced duration of chilled debuff.
50% increased duration of crippled debuff
Reason-Giant amongst man, trained their bodies in physical might and the harsh cold conditions of shiverpeaks has strengthened them further. However due to their size,mobility is compromised.

Charr
Instant recovery from Knockback/Pull/Knockdown/Launch
100% increased duration of fear debuff.
Afflicted with fear upon immobilisation debuff.(1 second fear)
Reason-Cats are quick to get back on their feet after losing their footing. But its easy to instill fear in them and losing their mobility is their biggest weakness and one that they fear the most.

Humans
No immunity.
No resistance.
Has all weakness at normal rate.

What would be a good immunity,resistance,weakness for the 5 races in your opinion. Kindly discuss,thanks.

*Bleed-Slyvari

Seems kind of pointless showing off your armor when everyone has the same things….

Akin to saying its pointless to post different builds when everyone has the same access to traits?

It’s not just about having the amour, it’s about how you make it work, using colours that compliment each piece and weapons that completes the theme.

just do 1 fractal run a day so that you don’t get burned out.
scale 49 is best.

From fractured until wintersday patch I only got 1 fractal skin and 1 ascended weapon chest.(Haven’t reach scale 49)

From wintersday patch until yesterday ,i’ve got 2 more ascended weapon chest, 1 ascended amour chest,2 more fractal skins.

I just feel scale 49 is easy and rewarding.(for the 41-49 range) Today a party member received Ascended weapon chest too.

Aim for 49 and just do 1 full run for the daily bonus chest.

TO ALL NEW PLAYERS PLEASE READ

Roll a Warrior and go for full Berserker gear. You will very much enjoy in both dungeons and PVE stuff. You do not read any other class than warrior trust me.

I would like to add to this, roll warrior as a 2nd character instead, use a non warrior/non guardian as your main character. The reason is that you will develop better playing skills so that when u use a warrior,u will be even better at it.

Warrior is easy to use because the superior profession carries the player.
Non warrior profession requires player’s skill to carry the class.

Instead of deleting it,why not salvage it for experiment and share with us the result. We can even start betting what will be the salvaged mats.

the ascended equipment chest box doesn’t stack, so overtime,it will be just like the fractal rings that you don’t use,which will pile up in your bank. Considering that the chest box drops quite often in scale 41+ daily bonus chest

anyways, most of the vocal minority has highlighted the issue of not being able to trade or salvage ascended rings since the early days of fotm.

Once all crafts can be lvl 500 and all the t7 mats is unlocked,hopefully they will introduce ascended equipment salvaging,trading or exchange.

I warp to another map and the glow persist. i removed my gloves,shoulderpads and backpiece since they have their own glow and the blue glow is still there.

Edit: nvm,confirming its a graphic bug, the glow disapeared after i relog.

CDI- Character Progression- Vertical

Posted by: Verdelet Arconia.6987

Verdelet Arconia.6987

Here’s my idea for Horizontal progression.

Legendary Amour + Character Progression + Personal Story.

After getting to lvl 80,having 100% map completion and completing the Personal Story, we should have a continuation of the Personal story which is linked to the creation of Legendary Amour,which should be account bound.

For example,after Orr has been cleansed and Zhaitan defeated, Trahearne went back to the heart of Orr and the Ancient Kings thanks the heroes for their victory and aid.
To show their appreciation,they revealed a secret on the art of imbuing amour with legendary power and to seek the lost art.

We then need to find the clues to the lost art,which leads to Zommoros. He is able to craft the legendary amour but he requires some legendary materials,especially the ancient tomes that describe the art of crafting it.

The quest should be a hard but repeatable solo quest and the mats should be account bound.

Final materials for Legendary Amour,E.G Legendary Helm= 1 Ascended Head Gear + 1 Dragon Heart(solo combat quest) + Ancient Tome(solo puzzle quest) + Phoenix ashes(solo time gated quest)

Please make the quest interesting and filled with relevant lore, No scarlet please,thanks!

so if the exploiter have 1million glory, he can buy 5000 batch at 200 glory each.
Each batch has 10 giant gift, so thats 50 000 giant gifts.
Each gift cost around 2 silver(example). He would have sold 100 000 silver/ 1000 gold worth of gifts.Take away the TP taxes and that would be around 700 gold per 1 million glory?

Not bad,can get some precursors. I envy those who exploited and did not get penalised,instead they got rewarded! Gratz skyhammer exploiters,you have outplayed us legit tpvp players, we may have won the battle of TPVP but u have won the war of GW2 spvp

Is shorter matches the answer?

in WvW

Posted by: Verdelet Arconia.6987

Verdelet Arconia.6987

With the coming edge of the mist, pve players who want to play wvw casually can do it there,thus the current wvw system should be revamp to a 6hr match format.

It would be better if in 24 hour period, the matches last for 6 hours each and the map gets reset for each match. So that the wins is recorded and we can know what are the main time a world usually wins or loses. This way, a better group of 3 worlds can be matched together so that its not about winning due to different time coverage.

This would effect gold and karma used for sieges and upgrades so I would also suggest that upgrades should be free and siege recipe as well. But the siege recipe would be limited in number and everyone will have 1 of each siege for each match.

Supply will reset on each account so whenever u enter a map,u have 0 supply,this would help non stacked servers in a way since supply would be equal to all.

Each borderland and EBG would have a max of 50 players(arbitary number,can be other value) If all 3 worlds have 50 players,the match will start. Those who are late will queue up and be reserved, if someone dc or log out for more than 2 minute,his slot in the world is lost and reserved player goes in. The amount of player in the world will be indicated.

If more than 50 ppl are queued for a map per each different world, and overflow of the map will occur. Wins in overflow will be counted as well.

If multiple overflows are created but the amount of players start to reduce due to log out, EG Overflow 1, 50pax world A vs 50 Pax world B vs 40 Pax World C, Overflow 2, 50 Pax world A vs 50 Pax world B vs 20 Pax world C. Then all in world C for overflow will be queud in overflow 1,quickest 10 to accept transfer will enter overflow 1,remaining 10 goes to reserve. Overflow 2 will then have a match conclusion by forfeit and the score is recorded even if it does not complete 6 hours. Exception is to main world,even if players are not equal,the match will continue for 6 hours, this is to avoid mass log out and compromising the game.

at the end of 6hrs, the score and the statistic of the match is recorded for all worlds, including how many ppl was playing for each world on overflow. That way we can see if a world win due to 50 vs 3 0 vs 10. Take note that overflow will only be created if all 3 worlds have 50 player each,so having more players does not mean you can have more overflow just for your own world.

How to determine the winner can be discussed further, we can take average score across all overflow to determine winner for the map. then we can add up the sum of average score per 4 maps to determine winner for the whole 6 hour match.

When 1st match is being tabulated after 6hours. Those who are reserved will immediately start the 2nd match that will last for 6 hours.Those who have played match 1 wil be directed out of wvw, they can then choose to join back wvw if they want. This is to ensure fresh rotation and opportunity to play.

Kindly discuss, thanks.

What is your daily routine on Gw2?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Verdelet Arconia.6987

Verdelet Arconia.6987

From an achievement hunter and completionist perspective.

Log in, check daily achievement category.

Plan on how to clear dailies in least amount of time by consolidating those that can be done together.

Execute them as planned.

E.G the categories for today are Maguuma Killer, Aquatic Slayer.
Queue up for TPVP solo queue, then go to any maguuma maps with lots of underwater mob, clear both dailies together whilst at the same time mining and harvesting along the way for daily gathererer,getting some slayer kill count(Krait slayer for example) as well as weapon kill count (Trident/harpoon gun/spear kills). If TPVP match pops up,stop the pve daily to do TPVP first.Aim for 5 solo queue wins whilst rotating between pve n pvp. Thus doing 3 PVE dailies,6 PVP dailies, 2 PVE permanent achivement progress(slayer and weapon),5 PVP permanent achviement progress(champ brawler,champ profession,champ slayer,normal slayer,normal profession wins) at the same time.

After all dailies are done. Carry out daily ascended crafting for the time gated materials. Use non lvl 500 crafters so as tolvl up along the way.

Clear inventory and replenish important consumables if necessary/tidy up bank and inventory.

Once all is done, log out and enjoy real life.

Yups, this game is more of a chore than an enjoyment for me, but I can’t help myself,i need to clear all dailies even though they are adding more and more of it and the living story achievements are gone every 2 weeks or so,that just makes me more paranoid and i have to clear all living story achievement on the release date itself if possible, same as monthly achievement. No one is forcing me but the completionist in me compels me to do it.
