Hey guys – thanks for all the info. I have another question for you. I have a really good new computer, (i4770k OC’d to 4.2 / 16 gigs 1866mhz ram / 780 GTX) and for whatever reason my frame rate with everything maxed out is less than ideal. With everything fully maxed out I get between 60-70 fps. Is it the engine that’s crummy? I feel like, with my rig, I should get better than that. For whatever reason, 60-70 fps doesn’t feel smooth on this thing. It feels a little rough. Any help / ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a year+ old computer i7-3770 3.4 GHz, 6 Gig ram and GTX 680 max settings and the only time I have frame rate issues are during world boss events with tons of people and their combat animations. Never WvW but I imagine if you are in a huge crowd that the same things will happen. Normal play never have a problem with fps.

So every single server is guesting on all the other servers. There is from what people say no one left on any server, just people guesting (from an unknown and unknowable server). Neat.

There are chests scattered all over the world that have the chance to drop precursors and now ascended weapons, no key required. People do not open them. Why do you think that they would open something you need to get a RNG key for?

You’re not doing yourselves any favors holding onto these things. Use them as they come up and increase your MF as you go.

Just pop it in the bank if you have many alts during a regular play time and at the end just use your Artificer to convert 100 clickes into 4, masterwork>rare>exotic>use

Ah, I see …you can refine your small luck stacks to get the larger luck. Basically it is to save clicking on 10 luck stacks. You refine into less items to click on. As it gives an account bound product I assume the only purpose is to save you having to click a lot?

yes

The problem is not my ability to comprehend writing but to comprehend how someones world can be so small that it is possible to insult them by putting in-game again a popular activity. I personally don’t enjoy it but to be insulted is beyond me.

You are insulted by a game? You seriously wrote that?

People’s complaints are that they aren’t substantive. It’s not actual content… it’s a distraction. It’s like dangling keys in front of a baby… and as soon as the event is over, we’ll be back to square one again.

This made me chuckle, thanks for the laugh! I agree though. Other more major events may be less like this though. They do put a lot of work into the LS and it’s good quality material, for its purpose.
Instead they should focus on changing the content that is already permanently there, the things that players enjoy to do and expand on those. Then agian, so many people agreeing and disagreeing in here.

It’s funny how he said this and sad that it’s true. I didnt not come to play this MMO to do nintendo like gameplay, it’s almost insulting for me.

cant you read? Yes i wrote that, it’s insulting how they throw this sab crap at me and think well he will enjoy that.

I would pay to play

Yargesh.4965

So what you are saying is that the game is not any good for you because you do not pay every month. Somehow they will change strategy because you personally are going to pay then some amount of money per month. Very strange thought process there. They have already stated that they get enough via sales (box and gems) to be equivalent to getting a lesser number of people paying per month. What don’t you grasp about this? They have their goals and they work for the majority of people playing or else they would have different goals. It is how businesses work.

They just need to discuss it with the distributor in China, no one else.

I hope it’s just not me, but he looks like he’s trying to hold back a grin.

The best bet is they release with the release in China market. Would be a good synergy.

I think it’d be further after their release in China. They caught flack for mixing three Asian cultures together, and China would freak-out if they weren’t warned about it first.

We already can go fish. We strip of our clothes, dive in there, and beat up the sharks.

I do not take off my clothes, just jump in with my spear or harpoon gun and got too it. People that are lazy and will just sit on the side of the water need to get more active.

That is what is wrong with the population.

ANet has kicked its playerbase around so often, they have gotten used to being pushed around and abused. The playerbase has acclimated itself to the abuse and excuses and has just accepted it. We the playerbase even start making excuses for ANet.

Not very different from a battered person syndrome.

If you equate this game with that you have absolutely no clue.

Race and profession is relative. I enjoy all races and found 3 professions to be amazing (mesmer, ranger and ele) 3 to be ok (guard, necro and thief) and 2 I have not played to any extent.
Look on the server list when it asks you to select and you can see which are high, medium and low pop.
Good luck finding something you yourself enjoy. You will get a lot of very biased answers about which is best though.

Morrigan, seriously turn off chat. A very large part of the players do want to kill Scarlet just to kill her, no other reason. If you hit events and no one is there do them. I have solo’d them I have seen commanders look and see no one else is there and leave again. It does not matter. So far I have about 50% chance of killing Scarlet whether on overflow or ‘home’. As I said I do about 2 a day and almost always get the daily chest. Today is the first time I have not.

I have been shocked by the chat on my server during this event- i have never in the year of playing seen anything like this.
Ironically it is actually more friendly in overflow.

Unfortunately, now you realise GH is not as nice as you previously thought …
My blocked list has rapidly grown over the past 2 months, but it is more due to LA map chat than the LS stuff.

In fact, I find doing the invasions a relief from the LA nonsense. Yes, now and again there is a ‘disagreement’ over farming or completing the event, but mostly things are ok, people are civil and rez each other. Most everyone has the 13 map invasion achiev done now, so there is not so much pressure to get Scarlet at the end.

\

I have no idea what LA chat is like because I never set foot there,
I have really had a very good experience on Gunnar’s Hold and this invasion is the worst I have seen.

I will not name names but when you have people “unzipping” in chat I think you can get where this is going.
Nevermind if you should suggest to kill Scarlet like for the daily yesterday or heaven forbid because you didn’t do all the achievements in the first 2 days. Or want to complete the meta.

You have commanders trying to accommodate you- you have commanders trying to get you to farm instead, you have “your mother” insults flying about and you have the farmers shouting in Caps, you have people being 2 year old kittens because of Lootz.

This is probably the worst designed group content I have ever seen in the game because it promotes this split by it’s design.

I have never seen horrible behaviour on home or overflow. I do 2 invasions max a day, sometimes I am rezzed right away sometimes (rarely) I need to WP. I am not too concerned if I need to WP since the minimum possible loot is 1 to 2 gold just from selling everything up to green. Do I always rez others, no. If I am the target of a mob and need to focus on surviving I will survive, that is my priority.
Also what is this with overflow is horrible attitude? The way things are set up most of the people are going to be from your own server so basically it is home server being horrible in any case.

Did AN promised to never add new gear tiers?

Posted by: Yargesh.4965

Yargesh.4965

I personally don’t see anything in those quotes that would indicated they would not add something like ascended gear. Does not take 1000 hours to get, it is not over-powered compared to top gear now. It is ugly from what I have seen but then so are legendaries.

Here’s your quote (from what I could find at least). The original blog has been removed, so you can find all this information on the wiki.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Design_Manifesto

Because, like Guild Wars before it, GW2 doesn’t fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs. It doesn’t suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill; it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun; and of course, it doesn’t have a monthly fee.

It all gets back to our basic design philosophy. Our games aren’t about preparing to have fun, or about grinding for a future fun reward.

http://venturebeat.com/2012/05/21/guild-wars-2-interview-monetization/#s:guildwars2-16

Here’s what we believe: If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game. Otherwise, your MMO becomes all about grinding to get the best gear. We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.

And here he goes backwards on the previous quote:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/13tuac/im_the_studio_design_director_on_guild_wars_2_ama/c77csxm

How is introducing VP[Vertical Progression] respecting the player? Because it’s fun to be challenged and rewarded. Because it’s fun to have the character you play grow and evolve over time. Because ArenaNet (sort of) held a hard line against all VP with GW1 — no VP ever, year after year — and it wasn’t that fun. It was stagnant.
We use purely cosmetic rewards for things that would be outside the reach of typical players. I have an oft-quoted line about that: “If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone, not by being more powerful than everything else in the game.”
Since you’re describing yourself as an average player and asking about average players, it shouldn’t be out-of-bounds for us to give you something new in the game that’s more meaningful to your character than a purely cosmetic change.

There is several more in there somewhere as well, those are just some of them. Enjoy.
