Please, I’d love to hear your solution to overflows.
It’s not our job to find solutions.
Our job is to give money to NCsoft, who then pays Anet employees for finding solutions.
The Marionette fight is extremely fun and very well done.
The problem is you having to count on random people to succeed. You can only explain so much, if people are unwilling to listen you will fail and nobody wants to fail because of random others they will never see again.
No, the problem is that you might end up on an overflow server with not enough people to do the event. You can’t even invite your own guild members if the event has already started because the main server is full. The devs haven’t learned anything since the Scarlet invasions and it was long ago.
Because it doesn’t make money.
- There are confirmed users constantly getting precursors, expensive items & Ascended chests. For this happening, it has a multiper less chance than winning RL lottery.
- My consequences: RNG is broken, and Accounts somehow go “lucky” or “unlucky” on creation. I’m investigating the connections…
That’s not how accounts work.
There is a database. For it to be a difference between accounts there would have to be a “luck” value with either a number (percentage) or just an on/off. Do you really think the devs would even add that? What would be the purpose?
RNG is RNG. People try to find a logic behind it when they’re unlucky. There is no logic, just RNG. And that’s why people are complaining. They can work their kitten off for months and never get lucky at the forge and be forced to buy their precursor. And to me and a lot of people, buying a precursor isn’t “legendary” at all.
Charged Quartz Crystals also drop from Wintersday gifts, without a daily timegate.
Yeah, that was a bug and was removed by Anet.
As for the time gating, there’s no reason whatsoever to have it. It’s not like celestial is better than other stats so why time gate it?
They removed the bug that it always dropped charged quartz. Now they drop regular and charged quartz.
I’ve never had a single charged quartz since. Only regulars. So even if it’s true, the drop rate is very low.
Let’s not forget the Manifesto.
Yes, the guys at Anet promise a lot of stuff. It doesn’t mean you have to believe them.

I always thought the goal was to get “fastest/most efficient reward in the complete absence of risk” .
Hey now, dividing by zero is infinity, that is the maximum ratio.
Actually dividing by zero is not infinity. It’s “undefined”.
One word on those changes: boring.
Boring guardian update as always.
We were all asking for a buff of other builds and they choose to nerf berserk/dps… I don’t get it.
Why would we need lvl 500 jewelers, though? We already have several ways to get ascended jewels.
It’s the most balanced class. They can do everything… well it’s more like they’re average at everything.
“Jack of all trades, master of none”, that’s what the guardian is.
The problem with HS is that it gives the warrior the ability to tank AND deal heavy damage at the same time. When you want to tank with a guardian, you have to sacrifice your damage. It should be the same for the warrior.
But as Paulie said, we know that for some reason the devs just love the warrior (and couldn’t care less about the guardian). Even if they nerf HS, I don’t think it’s gonna be a big nerf.
Nobody is unkillable. Especially not the guardian.
You cannot out-heal an enemy that is built to deal high damage.
You know, all I want is for the devs to start caring about the guardian.
Also everything rewards DPS in this game. Your contribution to an event or a fight is based on the amount you (or your group) does to the enemy. Too busy buffing or healing? Too bad, you won’t get credited for that champion.
To a professional graphic artist this “mask” takes 10 minutes to make. Maximum (to make sure it fits all races and genders). 500 gems is ridiculous.
Give the engineers the ability to wear medium and heavy armor (choose one, no mix possible). If they wear heavy, they turn into heavy infantry, lose mobility but can wield a canon.
For tank – Guardian
Warrior is good but you can’t heal yourself constantly like a guard. I use cleric stats on my guard (Power, Tough, Heal Power), my damage sucks but tanking and providing big heals is good can’t imagine playing a guard differently.
If you do crappy damage, you’re lowering your group’s average dps, therefore making the fight last longer. If you go full zerker you won’t survive as long but you also won’t need to because the fight will finish faster. That’s why people say (and complain) that in GW2 berserker is king.
You chose to do only WvW. You chose to not be able to get ascended gear.
Want it? Get out of WvW and go craft like everybody else.
We spend hundreds of gold to craft our stuff, why shouldn’t you?
The Guardian is the most balanced class, so the devs say…
They’re not gonna change it.
Not rewarding enough.
Not fun enough.
You guys are totally kittening annoying they make a game with loads of free contents, some permanent most temporary they work hard as well to make this game, seriously if you guys dislike the game so much and what they are doing with it why the kitten are you still playing?.
I just don’t get it.
I’m being critical because I care. If I didn’t care or like this game I would simply play something else.
This. So much this.
Why some people don’t understand this is beyond me.
People who do hate the game just leave. You don’t see them on the forum anymore. If we’re here it’s because we want the game to be better. Can you achieve that by telling the devs you love the game and everything is perfect? No.
“- Expansion incoming?
- Better than that!”
“- Woah you guys you’ve blown it way out of proportion!”
That guy seems very stupid to me…
This topic is gonna get deleted as soon as the mods come back from their holidays.
Tried it. Hated it.
First they’ll introduce a new way to get one of the existing precursors (probably in a few months). Then, MAYBE they’ll release new legendaries.
I’m choosing to stay with exotics.
At least I’m making a ton of money selling all the mats.
Thieves and mesmers should have a skill to reveal other stealthed thieves and mesmers.
Guild rush. You could finish all 15 yourself if it’s an easy one like the spiders.
The problem is the time it takes to go back to the starting line.
Can’t do bounty because you’ll just die in 2 seconds alone.
Can’t do puzzle.
Can’t do challenge.
We’re still playing the game. I think that’s already enough credit.
People complaining is actually a sign that they want the game to be even better, not that they think it’s bad. When people think a game is bad, they just leave.
Sometimes we can be rude but that’s because of frustration. When you talk to a person, trying to makes things better and they stay silent and don’t answer, after a while you’ll get angry too.
They are keeping a pretty tight lid on it but I imagine we’ll hear something when Colin previews 2014 for us in January.
Don’t expect too much, though.
For all we know they could be keeping this as a secret “weapon” for when people start massively leaving their game.
Too explain WHY we don’t have a full set yet. The devs have strict time constraints and a very tight content schedule. They need this done by the next LS then INSTANTLY they are going to have to work on the next set. This includes your artists. Give them time i’m sure we’ll see alot of god armor as the devs get the alloted free time to make it by the higher ups.
Then why not sell it 1/6 of the price of a full armor (134 gems)?
For me, it was probably a test to see if people would buy a single piece for 500 gems. So prepare to see more single pieces in the gemstore in the future.
40 gold
but look at this one: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1tt1a9/stream_10000g_in_mystic_toilet_for_science/
I found running away works best.
Exploiiiiiiiiiting!!!!!
My feeling is ascended weapons and gear should never have been introduced.
Well, Anet wanted to keep their hardcore gamers. I have no idea why, since they’re probably the people who put the less real money into the game. “Buying gems? Pfff, I just flip items on the market or farm dungeons and exchange gold for gems…”
I agree that the first person view is pretty bad for a MMO.
You can’t compete with another game just with new skins, though.
To keep players from leaving, you either release an expansion or you make your game better than the other one.
You could just farm gold and convert your gold to gems.
Let me know if you see a dev playing guardian.
They always seem so bored in their videos when they talk about the guardian.
I stand corrected, then.
I still didn’t know it, though. And I know nobody in my guild knows that.
They’re not gonna make more customers by releasing bland living stories.
The reason for the rushed bi-weekly living stories, ascended gear, etc… is to keep the players they already have. Keep them in the game to eventually have them spend money. That’s why we have dailies, monthlies, time gated crafting, time gated rewards and RNG.
If they wanted more customers, they’d have to do something BIG.
Yeah, getting wintersday gifts in the chest is really disappointing.
That’s why you should always open chests outide of seasonal events.
Not that rare. I’ve seen people with that bow.
The RNG is kind of killing the notion of reward. You can play the game for a year and get nothing, while another will play a month and get a precursor drop.
Also, ArenaNet are so scared of people farming (abusing) things that give better rewards that they prefer to have everything give crappy rewards.
Creating a new character = money sink.
And we know Anet loves money sinks.
Also, it’s probably more complicated than we think.
Let’s say you remove all the EXP from the personal story. Let’s say it brings you back to lvl 60 (not gonna do the math). What about the EXP you gained by doing dynamic events above lvl 60? What about the EXP you gained by killing mobs above lvl 60? What about the EXP you gained by doing achievements that can only be done by lvl 80’s? Exploration in lvl 60+ maps? Etc…
Just show Anet your discontent and massively move from your server.
