People wanting mounts should just go play another game. They do not understand this game, not by a long shot.

Collaborative Development: Ranger Profession

in CDI

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

Specific Game Mode
All
Proposal Overview
Permanent stow of pets when we want, no falling damage or combat gets it out.
Remove the combat movement speed when you pet is attacked.
Goal of Proposal
Since pets are all useless making it perma stowed untill they are not anymore could be of use. Also it makes no sense to have aggro on a pet when it is taling behind and gives enemies 2 targets instead of one to draw into combat speed.
Also might give the ranger the oppertunity to do some dungeons and not getting people angry about the ranger.

Associated Risks
Rangers seeing that running without a pet is an improvement over running with it.

if they’re doing something without touching their keyboard, that’s botting. You can report for that.

He is talking about afk people-that’s not a reportable offense.

its griefing. i have missed 1200 by less than 100 several times. Easily would have had a few of them if not for 6-7 AFKers. They are purposely trying to ruin part of the event (Getting 1200 rescues) so they are griefing which can be reported.

Are you insane? 6-7 AFK have no effect on the event at all. You realize that there are a finite number of civilians, right? Those 6-7 could have helped at one civi spot, but so could any handful of people. They’re doing no less or more good standing around than if they were running mindlessly with the zergs.

A handful of people are not impacting your ability to get 100 rescues. The event can easily support (20) people picking their nose afk. It just means too many people are concentrating on bags and not enough people on civs.

Better luck next time.

6 or 7 people can easily be keeping a path clear. Besides they are not doing anything in LA but leech, why should they get anything according to you? They can just be removed from LA, no asking them to be removed from the game or anything.

Because it’s not your business, nor mine, what they do or don’t do. That’s why.

They ruining the event for me, and/or for atleast 7 others who cannot get into the server. That kinda would make it my business.

Because they aren’t playing the way you want them to? People who aren’t contributing to your citizen count by solely doing heirloom runs or because they simply want to farm bags instead of aiming for the ultimate citizen supply should be just as accountable then.

No because they are not playing at all.
I do not care if you want your heirlooms, want to zerg or just want to get the vista’s. If you are doing something but standing still at the entrance I do not mind at all.

If 6-7 people have so much power they’re ruining the entire event for you, you have completely different issues that have nothing to do with AFKing.

What they’re not, doing, though, is individually causing the event to fail. You can hold yourself and the other (150) people in the zone just as accountable for that.

Yes lets blame the people who try instead of the ones that don’t.

They’re getting something because Anet designed it that way. Blame anet.

I blame Anet for lots of things, but not for their players acting lame.

Escape from LA - Critique and How To Improve

I would add one more, I dont know if this is a bug or not. When you are almost at 1200 citizens and you need to get out of the city the counter disapears but they do still count towards the total score.
So yesterday people leaving LA close to the exit did not get the 1200 reward chest while people who died in LA got it in the last few seconds. If you get out or not you still should get the final reward imo.

Confusion, necro needs it.

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

Personally, I’d rather see them give us better access to torment. That was supposed to be necromancer’s condition and we can barely get 6 stacks of it (tainted shackles then epidemic). I’d be very happy if they put it on staff 1. Back on topic, if necromancers had confusion they would have every condition in this game. That could be a little op.

Agreed, torment fits the necro more than confusion. That fits the mesmer more is my opinion.
Torment now on necro is weak, and other professions can deal it easier(mesmer and warrior with torment wtf) and higher stacks. That makes no sense.

Heh they would make an awesome finisher indeed.
But they can be downright annoying. Eastern ward, where it’s full of dead people, laser firing every chance it gets + those annoying aetherblade vets with so many annoying skills. That alone makes it more like work when you are solo. The Vet’s there are more trouble than the elites also running around there.

  • Enemies could finish off downed players also at higher difficulty scaling, why should this stay a player only thing ???

They practically already do this, they just take the long way around by hitting you a lot. Still again something that might be useful.

There is one extremely important difference between using a finisher and finishing something off with normal attacks if there are other people around. Normal attacks will make it much more dangerous to anyone trying to res the downed person. Not that it matters during the molten alliance miasmas events when everything is covered in fire anyway.

The molten even is the weirdest one yet, vets, elites and champs will a stupid amount of health + the protection spells. Bad bad scaling too. Terrible for this event.

50+ players engaged in the event = Extremely powerful veterans… Events scale in difficulty depending on how many players are engaged.

Test it yourself. Go kill a veteran with nobody around. You’ll find you don’t get hit nearly as hard and deal a lot more damage. It would be pretty pointless if they didn’t scale and near impossible to tag anything as dozens of players instakill them.

I tested this in LA, from gendarran you go left and go up the ramp to that entrance to the secret cave. There are lots and lots of citizens there, normally dead. And one small group of a vet and a non vet. It takes to kitten long to solo this vet that it becomes down right annoying to do so. I do not like health sponges combine that with invul, interrupt and you get the most annoying fight.

Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet’s Armies Nourishment (1 h):
+10% damage vs damage vs. Toxic Alliance, Watchwork, Aetherblade, and Molten Alliance
- 10% damage from Toxic Alliance, Watchwork, Aetherblade, and Molten Alliance
+15 Experience from kills

Using this. There’s a bug that makes them deal 10% more damage to YOU.

Believe it or not but that bug finally got fixed(every potion not just this one). So the PVE people can finally use their potions for dungeons too. Something good that came out of the bugfixing.

Toxic alliance mobs by far. They’re not hard, but just annoying. Immobilize, torment, cripple, every condition in the game that makes them annoying to run by if I dont want to fight them.

And when you kill them they are downed first… pfff they irritate me.

Is that really your current health? Could just be that people are tired of rezzing the zerker geared people that should not be wearing that type of armor?

I always try to rez, but if a person goes down for like 5 times I will stop rezzing that one right away.

And every time same comments. Like only people in zerk gear die… Don’t make me laugh, dude. In these events, having soldier armor won’t make a difference.
Some people with non zerker gear tend to sound like they are so proud of themselves and are feeling superior because they can stay alive for what…? three seconds longer?

And also, why shouldn’t they wear that type of armor?

Proud about not wearing zerker armor. Cant say that I am proud of something like that.
But I see you are completly missing the point here.

Zerging is not the most fun in a game. But some people, no even more most people seem to like it.
My problem with this is more that it’s zerging like in earlier installments of the living story. Some variation wont hurt too much. This is not much different from the invasion part, the toxic part, and some of the pavillion in it.
How about some of the Champs of the marrionete mixed in there. Assault some fortifications the molten or aetherblades have setup somewhere. Rebuild a fortification where we enter the map and have them come attack it at given times.
Some tower defense style part of the map where it gets harder and harder untill you lose. Search & destroy named champs instead of anonimous ones.(with chance on unique items from him/her)
