Maybe you should follow it constantly, rather than “for some time”?

Official Response: Drop Rate of Legendary Precursors

Every other component in the legendary making process should be based upon skill and or achievements in-game. That should be the way it’s done.

What skill? Easy as hell jumping puzzles? Playing as Thief in sPvP? Getting honor badges in Sanctuary? Grinding mats and karma? Running AC 30 times a day?

There is only handful of people controlling the economy in gw2 and they are the ones who are selling legendary precursors on the TP for 300g-500g. Most of them are either botters, exploiters, hackers etc. Come on we all know that.

A small circle of people is controlling economy and conspiring against you? That sounds familiar.

and what of people who put in over 600g and still dont get it? let me guess buy it from tp?

And what about people, who spend all their money in casino? It’s their own kitten fault. No one is forcing you.

what if every1 wanted to buy it from tp and all precursors were gone? what then?

I don’t see a point of this question. What if everyone decided to forget about legendaries and buy butter instead?

You’re making an assumption that because I want to get rid of RNG that I am asking for the legendaries to be easier.
Getting rid of RNG is not the same as asking for a decrease in mat requirements.
I’m not asking for a decrease in mat requirements, and by all means, increase the material requirements until it is fitting of a legendary, but for goodness sake get rid of RNG.

Telling people to avoid the mystic forge just confirms that the forge itself has major gameplay issues. I too recommend people to buy precursors off the TP as well, but it’s just sidestepping the gameplay flaw of the mystic forge.
I’m sure Anet intends the forge to be just as viable as the TP to obtain the precursor, but at the moment it doesn’t seem so.

There is NO point in taking out RNG, since RNG is an option. Don’t like it? Don’t use it. End of story.

Forge itself is viable, it’s just that some people believe they have a high chance of putting 50g of worth weapons into the Forge and obtaining 300g worth precursor.

You’re ignoring the fact that if you choose to NOT grind for skins, there really isn’t anything else to do in the game that has any ‘reasonable’ long term goals.

You’re complaining about lack of end-game and asking to make Legendary, only viable end-game content, to be easier to acquire. It doesn’t make sense.

Why spend months or years boringly grinding for materials and gold, then putting them in a casino slot machine to get a skin.

What about option to buy precursor off TP? Is TP bugged or you can’t use it for some other reason?

There are people who have 3000g. Our guild leader got 2500g, not sure how he made them thought.

That wasn’t my point.

1) Who’s going to spend 3000g on trying to get a prec trough MF, when they can buy about 10 precs with the same money?
2) There is no such amount of similar rares on the market as 20000.
3) When you buy all 15s rares, you forced to buy remaining ones with gradually increasing cost, which means you’ll spend much more than 3000g.
4) There was no such buy, according to trade websites.
5) I can’t find topic on Reddit.

Raising 3000g is not that hard, I believe. You simply need to predict one big spike and invest all your money in it.
For example, investing like 300g in Vanilla Beans, Black Lion Chests or Giant Eyes, before they increase x10 times in price. It’s hard and risky, but absolutely possible.

Precursor system is pure garbage. There was a recent reddit thread by a guy that put 20000 rare level 80 weapons into the Forge and didn’t get a precursor. That’s 5000 combines.

He could easily put in another 20000 rares and still not get anything. This system is broken garbage and is completely ridiculous.

I hope you do realize that 20000 rares by 15s a piece would cost 3000g. No one is going to buy your lie.

Last note: Please do not make houses cost gems! Having some /decorative/ furnishings for gems is fine, but 95% of the housing features should be based on gold and accomplishment (like a Zhaitan trophy mounted on your wall for completing the story, or a jack-o-lantern lamp for attending halloween).

In my opinion, cash shop items is a great motivation for developers, as they’re getting money from it. I would prefer greatly customizable housing with a lots of features and with 50% of stuff being sold in cash shop to some free, but primitive “here’s-your-house-you-can’t-do-anything-with-it” work.

No, this isnt, as housing hasnt even been incorporated yet…and its already built and everything.

What’s the point of this house then? I though that it may be connected to personal story, but I already completed a few human routes and this house wasn’t used by them.

Housing?

Expecting anything besides instanced housing is a bit naive.

What should Anet do, in my opinion.

1. Make furniture usable.
Option 1: trough /specific_command. It will allow to use “Interact” (F) to move furniture.
Option 2: trough “Interact”, where character gets 2 skills – use furniture or move it.
Option 3: make furniture unmovable and let players interact with it trough commands. It will save players from constantly flashing “Interact” button.

2. Make character redress in peaceful clothes automatically, upon entering the home.

3. NPCs inside the house. Not traders, they should be on the streets, but NPCs, related to personal story. Some of them could visit on occasion (barkeeper daughter), some of them can live with the main character (sister).
And, please, remake sister’s story aftermath. The fact that you deleted and ignored her, just to insert in the end of PS, when she joined Vigil and found some dude (or maybe she prefer that dog?) without even informing the player is outright bad from all points of view.

4. NPCs you can buy. Maids, butlers, guards, pets. Of course there MUST be rare variations/skins, which require grind and/or money.

4. Customizable house wallpapers. Allow players to load their own texture, maybe.

5. Allow players to load their own images and replace default paintings.

6. Personal garden. Allow players to choose what they should grow there. Allow players to care about their plants. I think it’s a great moment to re-use that dye seed you deleted from the game.

7. Allow player to store stuff. Like a second bank. Put it in the basement. Make it small, but expandable, if you afraid that players will stop buying bank slots for gems. Allow to store gold there.

8. Allow players to own a house in Lion’s Arch. I think it’s quite important, since many people like certain race, but really dislike home instances and architecture of their race.

9. Allow players to close their houses from outside and inside. Both for NPCs and other players.

10. Add related achievements and titles.

11. Home clothes. Not town clothes, but home clothes, like pajamas, lingerie and such.

12. Wardrobe, similar to PVP one. I’d love to collect various skins, but putting them in the bank is not satisfying enough.

13. As some people said, some achievements should be rewarded with trophies. Trophies could be put inside player’s house (or maybe outside in some rare cases).

14. Kinds of a longshot, but a special storage room for Mini’s you own, where all of them are doing something. It would be great if their actions were related to Mini’s type.

15. A new profession (maybe a few, if you wish), which can craft various furniture, town/home clothes and such.

16. Make home upgradable. I’m not sure about expanding it’s size and increasing it’s quality, since it sounds hard to implement, but something like adding craft tables, allowing to use a new room, increasing allowed number of personal NPCs or adding vendors to nearest street.

17. Customizable exterior.

18. To improve, buy and craft stuff try to involve mats, gems, gold, dungeon “money” and karma. Some stuff should be rewarded as mob drops and for map/quest completion.

19. Involve dyes in customization. Allow players to grow dye plants and limit them in house customization to these home grown dyes.

20. Allow other players to easily visit someone’s home instance, with /visit “player_name” command, for example.

21. Windows. Windows are important. Windows are very important for proper immersion and proper windows can make house look hospitable, safe and cozy. My proposition is a glass with dynamic picture behind it and some good-looking light. Don’t forget to synchronize picture with day/night cycle.

Anet, housing is EXTREMELY important.

It adds end game. It can add a few short, medium and long term goals for players. Right now we have one medium one (map completion) and one long one (legendary weapon). PvE end game in GW2 is non existent in it’s current state for 95% of players (who’s not interested in grinding for legendary). You’re bleeding with these players.
A lot of players love personal housing. I played some games only because of PH, and decided to buy GW2 when I found out that GW2 will have PH.
It will revitalize Trading Post.
It will enrich the game, making it more diverse and deep.
It makes characters truly personal and unique. Personal story was a good mechanic, but it only shuffles quests, not adding to a real personality.

Mounts [Merged]

It will improve the immersion in the game for a vast majority of players as it does
add to the real aspect of the game. The argument of no mount it doesnt fit is like
saying a day and night cycle doesnt fit.

There is no mountable animals in Tyria. Sudden appear of mounts makes no sense.

There is no use to mounts, lore wise. Travel was trivialized thanks to waypoints. Waypoint cost is not an argument, as any animal require constant investment as well.

World is pretty small and packed. Since you can run on your own legs from one side to another in 10-30 minutes, mounts make no sense.

Group of clowns, running past normal players on cars, moas, drakes and elementals will completely ruin immersion and semi-realistic atmosphere of the game.

Most of mounts can’t be properly animated, as they can’t run too fast because of balance and slow running is always looks ridiculous. It will be simply bad animation or slow-mo, similar to current Norn/Dolyak running animation.

Immortal mounts and mounts appearing out of thin air are completely ruin immersion. Ultima Online mechanics are simply too hardcore for this game.

Last thing, which is not related to immersion, but is very important: Devs should concentrate on adding meaningful things, which they already promised, like Guild Halls and personal houses.

But they are incredibly dumb and dull-witted when alone, which means having Skritt who venture out and explore the world on their own (Putting them into the current Hero situation) will result in a lot of very stupid Skritt running about.

Pretty much this. Skritt with human intelligence is a violation of lore.

Change the 25 bleed stack limit

in Suggestions

Posted by: Wanko.8103

Wanko.8103

Let’s say a level 80 Necro with 100 condition damage can keep up 10 bleed stacks on a single lvl 80 mob:

2,5 + (0,5 * 80) + (0,05 * 100) = 47,5 per stack per second

10 stacks = 10 * 47,5 = 475 damage per second


Now let’s say we have 5 of those Necros, each keeping up 10 bleeds on a single mob (with no bleed limit):

2,5 + (0,5 * 80) + (0,05 * 100) = 47,5 per stack per second

50 stacks = 50 * 47,5 = 2375 damage per second

Well, that’s about it. Dragon is a single mob and without limit damage will skyrocket.

I also believe that you shouldn’t receive reward if you’re throwing bleeds on enemy, which is at bleed cap already. Why are you doing this? It is obvious that you’re not helping the fight, not doing any damage, then why?
If you want to participate, there is a plenty of possibilities, including destruction of walls and spawned mobs. You will be rewarded properly for this kind of contribution.

Not trying to argue for either side, but I want to say that GW2 full-plate armor is not practical in any way.

You can’t do these insane dodge rolls in heavy armor.
You can’t run or swim or throw weapons or do fast attack moves in heavy armor.

This will lead to bleed damage nerf and your “Conditionmancer” will be useless in standard PvE.
Simply removing limit is not an option, obviously, since bleed is already do a very impressive amount of damage.

Did you read my post? How is someone doing conditions doing any more damage than direct damage user? It’s the same. You either do damage by conditions or direct damage.
This should not lead to bleed damage nerf.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bleed

Bleeding can stack in intensity up to 25 times and each stack does one pulse of damage per second. The damage dealt by bleeding is determined by the following formula:

2.5 + 0.5 * Level + 0.05 * Condition Damage per stack per second

More bleeds = more damage.
