Dog & Girl...Home Instance

Yargesh.4965

The girl and dog start in the Human home instance outside the fence by the teeter totter at the orphanage as soon as you enter the instance, she then wonders around the market. As far as I remember she has always been in the instance. I have never followed her around to see if there is any dialog though or to see if she leaves the market area.

I am confused as to why you would think you would get what you wrote. The details are explained about what you get, can do and can’t do. Why on earth would you believe you would get the game as it was on release?

Tequatle event starting early?

The most likely explanation is that someone used the guild item to trigger the event, you know for giggles (yeah I don’t understand it either). The scheduled event will happen at the right time after this.

Dead waypoints - Repair or remove

The guild mission waypoints become uncontested when a guild activates the guild puzzle mission and you are repping the guild.

Yes I know, just don’t know why they decided on this mechanic in an open map. I don’t think it is necessary or a good idea.

I agree with this. I never could understand the reason for the guild mission waypoints being contested since nothing happens anywhere near these spots. The damaged ones from season 1 should either be fixed it as suggested turned into POIs.

(Request) The Loner Guild (Hall)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

I have one of each of the current guild halls. Request was granted I guess since it is absolutely possible to get them.
Under 9 is optimal for claiming since only one spawn point is active, I have done it with 4 without an issue. Use the players helping players section of forums or go to the map and ask for help and form a party to claim it.
Good luck.

Feedback:why gf couldn't get into this game

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

The best solution for her is to slightly change perspective. The story is not great for some people and that is fine, you don’t need it for anything except personal goals. She likes maps but not hearts, great. The hearts where an afterthought because people needed more direction. The real exp comes from events that happen everywhere on all maps. You can talk to a large number of NPCs (many not marked just have a talk option) that will trigger a local event. You also have event chains that lead to a map wide event.
So in short just do the things you like, experience is easy and fast even if it does not feel like it.

Guild Hall Suggestion: Top of the GH wp

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

True about the different players having different access. There was a bug just after HoT came out where non HoT accounts could glide within the guild halls. I thought it was intentional as a sort of promotion, you know see what this is like. Got removed soon after so my non HoT account has much less access to the halls. Was kind of disappointed.
I would suggest to ANET that they do allow some aspect of the game only within the halls for non expansion holders but I don’t know how much interest they have in doing this.

With the new expansion, will Anet avoid HoT?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

If the company is of the same mind as the op I would be very angry. HoT was amazing for me. To lose the feel of exploration, beauty and yes challenge I might as well not play. So they gain the op’s approval but lose at least one player in the process.
Thankfully the maps in season three lead me to believe they are no where near the op’s thought process.

Why Events are not a replacement for Quests

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

You may not be talking about getting rid of events but you cannot have both (just based on workload/hours needed). So your only real choice is how you would like to improve events.

Why Events are not a replacement for Quests

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Events where what was originally planed to exist as leveling fodder. Hearts where added as feedback said players did not understand how to proceed with just events.

They are not now or in the future going to get rid of events. Story is the only quest you are going to get.

NPC killing each others

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

NPCs can aggro other NPCs if one of them sends an attack that hits. They label anything that causes them damage as enemy so it is not exactly the same system are your player character is bound by. If no damage was exchanged I don’t know why they would attack each other.

I’ve seen a warg in Brisbane randomly attacking and killing a neighboring warg (and that warg doesn’t attack back).

Maybe there’s a glitch in the matrix.

Oh man, that’s what the trench coats are all about! Should have taken the other pill I guess.

PSA update your computers

The vulnerability was fixed months ago (mid Martch) as long as you kept your system up to date. Well unless you are still running XP, 8 or Windows server 2003, Microsoft just released a patch for those “dead” (in terms of support) OSes.

Many people apparently do not update, reason why so many computers (not just company computers) where hit. If someone sees this and updates that would normally not that is one less vector for the virus to propagate along.

Suggestion : HotS Map Completion

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Core maps are tracked for the title you get for completing them all and for the Gifts of Exploration you get which are needed for the first set of legendaries.
The new maps you need the 4 maps released with HoT and none of the others for the new legendary weapons.
Not saying it is a bad idea but there is no real “need” to track these maps.

Earning Mastery Point in HOT and Skill point

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

Not entirely sure of the question.
My interpretation of what you want. Yes there are enough Hero Points to fill up the elites of each profession on the HoT maps.
Mastery Points for unlocking things like gliding are split between central Tyria for legendary collection, auto-loot etc and Hot masteries which can be obtained within the maps, achievements and story lines in both areas.

Wait, maybe I need to reconsider duels. Is there a reward involved? If so, I could log in two of my accounts, then endless slay an alt to reap the benefits! Woot!

This does happen to build or reduce penalties for ganking in most PvP open world games. Also a game I played can’t remember which details are hazy people did get rewards/skill increases for open PvP and would just sit and kill their own characters all day.

I found gw2efficiency very good for the last legendary I made. Can see what in storage and what needs to be bought and the current price. Nothing needs to be done that second and you can check back in a week or month or whatever time you want to see how far you have advanced.
As for maps I enjoyed doingall of them solo so I can’t advise you on why they are a chore to do.

does anyone play without youtube?

Yargesh.4965

I play mostly without, the things the people that make the video use as landmarks are not what I naturally use so they are a hindrance. If I want to make something text usually works better as well.
Specific things can be useful in video form but mostly not.
Those people writing everything should be in game, great in theory but think how big Duffy’s database is, add that to the DAT file and have staff tied up you are just asking for problems.
I also just like running around with no goals except to run around and see what happens.

When Zaitan was the enemy there where too many undead and the game should go back to its roots.
When Mordy was the enemy there was too much focus on Sylvari and the game should go back.
Now when Assura are the focus since they have been studying Primordius the game should return to its roots.
GW1 was not a universally enjoyed game. It is not coming back unchanged except for the ability to jump.

What GW 2 could learn from BotW

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I said it somewhere else recently, but … I’d love to see an MMO company that experimented with the policy: “this team needs to ship something new every two weeks”.

The goal being that, eg, new dynamic events, mini-boss events in the world, gradually grown quest chains, etc, ship on a routine basis, and the team become expert at getting things done fast. Bonus points if it included adding new creatures, textures, bones, etc, on a routine basis to just gradually expand further and further across the range of things that you run into in the world…

I don’t know if it would work out well, but it’d be an interesting experiment to be sure!

Living world season 1 did exactly that, tying it all up in a grand storyline that eventually culminated in the new designs used in season two and beyond.

Unless you’re talking about much smaller and less noteworthy (and less marketable) updates, in which case we don’t really live in a world where that type of thing is viable, since it’s the big stuff that draws in paying customers and is more likely to keep veterans as well. In a perfect world this would be fantastic, but in the real world, it isn’t viable.

I’m talking about testing the thesis that small updates adding variety on a constant basis, plus much rarer large updates, are sufficient to not just succeed, but excel, in the MMO market.

So, no, it’d be much more “add two or three new dynamic events across Tyria every week or two”, or “add a new type of monster in the open world”, or whatever … plus the LS3 paced larger scale updates.

Like I say, it’s an idea that I think would be interesting to test … but I can’t say it’d be a success. I think it might, but IDK, could be a huge flop because people would regard that small but constantly growing world as pointless compared to rare, large updates.

That was LS1, the staff got stressed the vocal people where vocal and it did keep people playing and paying for “stuff” on a regular basis.
They switched to LS2 model due to stress and people not actually wanting what you are asking for even though there where more consistent log-in numbers during this time.
