No idea why GH is 13 instead of far shiver peaks. Are these based on older scores? I think right now it should be 13 fsp, 14 AM and 15 GH..

Have fun all.

And the fact that this is normal is part of what makes this heavy handed move by the corporation responsible for this content reverberate. My understanding was that this development team was old school. The same one that developed my personal favorite game of all time, DAOC. They should realize that all of this is normal. This “We are going to take away your toys” Move by them reeks of a new team with no experience. That worries me quite a lot.

This has been a corporate trend lately.

You can’t even smack talk on XBLive anymore without being banned because if you happen to hurt some 12 y-olds feelings and they tell their mom, you’ll get reported and temp-banned.

That’s not a bad thing.

It is a very bad thing.

Devs ae not to blame, although they are not the best in the gaming industry. They are all juniors so not to blame.
Managers however and big greedy companies like ncsoft behind is/are to blame, to frustrate the players in buying their items from the in game store.

Does Anet care about WvW?

in WvW

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

If they really didnt care, truely apathic, as you seem to suggest. Why did they bother with implemented events into WvW? Adding a way to get gear, and even most ascended gear.
They added new siege type, traps. They worked on culling, which is now a player option.
They’ve made OS the GvG place. They nerfed Bloodlust after the outcry, and they’re adding an overflow map. All based on player feedback. They did buff loot. Overhauled the borderland map. Made it more roaming friendly. And they did more.

Now we could argue if all the things they did were as good, and some things turned out not so possitive, and i believe there is plenty of room for improvement. But if they didnt care they wouldnt have done all those things.

^^ this is true. They just do not have the manpower like they have on normal pve maps/events.

I hope I remebered the right guild name, ODC from Baruch? Some roaming team of mesmers and thiefs were brutal on our borderlands.

If there were more thieves than mesmers it was probably ODS.

Best,

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

Good, I only missed one letter. And it was more thiefs indeed, and could be one engi with it but not sure that was ODS too.
I was on the receiving end but it was kinda awesome to see you guys work so well together.

Just have a look at how Warhammer did it. Translated into GW2 mechanics: If there are no human opponents, you can’t earn points. Simple but elegant solution.

that might sound ok, but in league that will be very easily solved by transfers.

Wait What?

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

There is a rather big issue here.
If the matches are too random people will complain about steamrolling/being steamrolled, if the matches are less random people will complain about always facing the same servers.

Don’t really see how they could solve that however. I suppose they could alternate between the two now and then, but that is not really a solution either.

it’s impossible to please some of these people. I’d rather fight a fair fight than steamroll or be steamrolled.

Guardian or Ranger for PvE?(Serious!)

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

Ranger is more of a dps utility (do more damage)

Except rangers have the lowest dps of all classes atm. Thats why no one likes them in PvE.

:D That was funny. Rangers dps is pretty good if you stop longbowing from a distance.

Why don't we have these armor sets :(

For Pve both are fine. But in pve there are some dungeons(not needed) if you want to do them it’s easier for you to find a group when you are a guardian.
I have both in pve and wvw and still having fun with both. I like ranged with my ranger but also beginning to get used to GS and one handed sword play.
Guardian I like the GS more than the hammer because that is so slow compared to it. Also like the sword/focus combo with guardian, and that with some meditaions skills it will not feel clumsy ate all but will feel like pressure on your target.

Borderlands are a bit of a nightmare to defend. I like you ideas because either tower in lower BL is easy to cap. Because of the citadel location even the 2 keeps are easy to get to.
I would even go as far as switching locations of the citadel and the bloodlust ruins, makes the ruins less easy to do and give the defenders a fast location to move on either Bay or Hills. Its not very uncommon that both are attacked at the same time..

We dont get the fights we want against drakkar…there are no guilds to fight the public zergs mostly ran/port away…or if they fight it is still not entertaining.

I don’t know where you’ve been last evening around 9-10 pm…Eternal Battlegrounds
Or maybe it wasn’t entertaining while your and Ranik Zergs died and only Drakkar Zerg lived the entire time farming both of you ~20-30 minutes,was fun.

For me it was a nice evening,thanks for the Lootbags MS and Ranik,nice fights. And yea we are just a bronze server

I refuse to believe that either [mya] or [oo] was in that zerg. Perhaps a few.

Ascended upgrade recipe; no crafting involved

aspirine.6852

Hi,
Not my idea but Artemist on guild guru made this suggestion.
Instead of crafting your armour there are recipies to be found that upgrade your armor to bypass the whole crafting part. That way you can decide on the fly like a transmutation stone to keep your current looks and just add stats + rune.

Idea?

Does not help when getting the waypoints poi and such we get bullied and attacked by people that just find it funny to attack others for no reason. T.

Lol, the whole reason for people to be there is to kill others. And of course it’s fun, would you rather they not enjoy it?
And it’s not hard at all, I got mine with my elementalist and got almost all poi’s outside keeps/towers solo.

Perma Stealth Needs To Go

in WvW

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

Daoc stealth system was best. Perma stealth but once you put yourself into combat or you took damage from an aoe, you were removed from stealth and I believe there was a 45 second timer at minimum before you could re-stealth. So the stealth system would be better if it modelled daoc system. Perma and only reenter once you are out of combat ei when you can swap skills.

That would be such a nerf to thief. Because many of them are dead meat if they cannot stealth anymore. It would require a skill change because lots of the d/d damage is from hitting in stealth :/

People on our server didn’t get a silver Dolyak finisher, even though it clearly states ‘second place’ in the tooltip. If the tooltip is bugged rather than the reward, this is a major letdown…

EDIT: just read that they’re limited finishers. Guess I won’t miss them then. Don’t like limited stuff, I end up saving them for special occasions that never come up.

first place of gold, first or silver and first of bronze gets the finishers. Ranking them first, second and third place.

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

I would have prefered that stealth in GW2 had the same treatment as TF2 spies where you can actually spot them if you pay attention – that way skill and attention on both sides of the divide are required either playing, or fighting a thief.

You mean like the predator effect or more subtle? It would be a good idea if the gfx settings would not allow people to abuse this somehow.

Well your guild was particulary good on sunday evening. Moved like one and hit like one. I was impressed with your dicipline and guild tactics. We could only do so much against such a guild. Just like AoA(I hope I remember that correctly) from fsp.

Ascended armor stress

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

notice how any ascended update they introduced a new method for acquiring it, resetting any potential work people could have done to get it asap…..

If ascended armor doesn t have any form of timegate will be the first time:

RIngs/backpacks => fractal
Necklace => laurels
Accessories => guild missions
Weapons => craft + T7 + time gating
i doubt any player will be able to get an ascended armor before at least 1 week.

It will probably the same day the patch is live that someone has their ascended armor. Do not underestimate the level of farming people have done for this.
