Guild Wars 2

If they want so bad to avoid skippers, just turn the NPCs a bunch of cowards, they don´t advance if the mobs are not killed (I remember an event like this, a little girl or something like that).

Put more money or more drops will only be a paliative, give some time and it will lose interest (like kholer…, give loot and money but most people don´t give a kitten about it).

This problem is not so simple as “people doing money”. There are people that get pugs to do a dungeon, kick them then sell the slot. Already happened to me and I denunced them for kick someone in final boss (not for selling the slot).

And if they use guildmates to do this, then divide the loot it´s nothing wrong for me. It just devalue the explorer title but will happen anytime, there are lots of stupid people with money to buy anything and everything.

And even if anet block this, they will start selling accounts with lots of goodies and titles in ebay, and it will be worst.

This arguing will not go anywhere.

People want to play and kill and be better doing that, increasing their chances to get more rares and exotics. And if you get some blues or whites is just random luck, most my friends get 2 or 3 rares a day doing ascalon using food and banner of magic find.

People want to skip directly to the end and get only the final reward and run to other dungeons, minimizing the chances to have to repair armors and maximizing the profit doing more and more speed runs.

It´s just two way to think, and the second is more satisfiing to most people, addicted to these “instant gratification”. To me I just prefer the long term profit.

And tell people don´t have the knowledge to skip is the same to me that people don´t have knowledge to kill fast, get more rewards and don´t die in the meantime, so before put someone down there are always two ways to think about something.

1 – Restart the personal story, make arrangements to not receive any loot creating more and more code in “quest programing system” (if you don´t know what is it try asking some MMORPG programmer) and more things to bug.

2 – the same…

3 – Change a BOUND in a game that has JUST ONE RACE and you are trying to compare with the bound system in a multi racial game. Yeah, rational…

4 – And if people don´t save the skills points, or there are another that don´t have what you want uuu, just reset them, them people just get the ones they want and save the rest. Oh and if it bugs the system because some tied in programming on skills, don´t worry it will just kitten more the game.

Please don´t try the dumb mode, there are LOTS of tie in in the RACE system of the game. The ones we are talking are just the ones we CAN SEE, try to imagine how much we can´t see.

Btw, merry xmas and goodbye, this post is out for me.

It´s a real problem, when you are a PvE player it´s unnoticed. In WvW you are constantly spammed with CC and you can use every stun breakers you have and it ends and you have this gigantic cooldown it turns problematic.

I´m not a WvW player but I understand what you are talking.

@ehragus

Are you just playing kitten?

Don´t you really read all the posts and all the topics relating to the same problem.

Did you at least noticed that this a post 2 monts old?

All right I will clarify something.

1 – Story mode, it´s almost racial based, if you change races how they could adjust to your new race, your decisions?
2 – If you are one of those kitten the story mode, well if they put more stories in this game based on your actual race (not the changed) imagine how broken things can be in the future. And if your future story be broken you will come here again complaining that it´s broken.
3 – Tere are RACIAL equips, and will not be just a change to another race because we have BOUND systems.
4 – We have RACIAL SKILLS and most people don´t even buy this skills, or they have a very different funcionality in most cases.

So if you want another class, just delete your char and create a new ONE, don´t come with this ideas to create more bugs than necessary.

There are a lot of people DEMANDING (and in my opnion a really correct demand) a system of underflow servers, when a map get less than an certain number of players a message (like overflow) tells him if they want to stay in this server or want to send then to an underflow server.

I suppose that you have to join people demanding the implementation of this system.

Zero Angel.9715:

Bags are a gold sink and gold sinks are important for stabilizing the economy. Furthermore, donate your old bags to the guild bank, send them to a lowbie friend, or an alt. A lot of people would be glad to have the bags that you don’t want.

What will happen in the world of games if more people like you come with good ideas instead of demand more and more things?

I will be more happy.

ObliviousFool.3427:

IMO kinda ridiculous that we even have to beg for this. First off its a gem store item so why not. Secondly its not really fair they they NERF the shortbow to the point where main hand axe does more DPS (ranger) after I spent FORTY gold on a corrupted one that now just gathers dust.

I don´t think you know what DPS is.

DPS is DAMAGE PER SECOND not the raw damage. It´s the sum of all damage in some period of time divided by the time you measured this damage in seconds. Not the damage you do in ONE attack.

So if you have a fast weapon (high ASPD, attack speed) with an low damage per attack you can do much more DPS than an weapon with more damage but low ASPD.

The DPS of the AXE and the shortbow is almost the same most time (there is an RNG applied to the damage) even with the axe doing more damage, his low ASPD drops the DPS.

And you just want this because you done an error most common to “high” demand players (aka F2P Players) they just buy everything they think is the best then they regret their decision because some misunderstanding. An advice, learn craft arts and try with crafted itens instead of buy everything. Will be much better for you.

Really, the time you write this superb text mocking ANET you can just press F11 and disable “double-tap to evade”. It´s on the first page, the first option of combat/movement. Seriously, before doing this… try to find if there are some type of adjust, or correction, or setup…

Don´t try to win the darwin awards for guild wars.

It´s not punishing the pro, it´s punishing those farm players that just farm the easiest and fastest dungeons AND NOT DOING NOTHING like playing the game.

There are 2 DR systems
1 – CHAR DR: in this DR a char cannot repeat the same path on the same dungeon, you have to wait for daily reset.
2 – ACCOUNT DR: in this DR you can´t change your char and do the same path on the same dungeon, you have to wait a grace period of 2 hours for ACC DR resets.

So if you want to farm, do more dungeons, a PRO PLAYER can do this without being penalized. Just make some dungeons with one char, you can do 3 paths of ascalon, 2 of TA, 2 of CoF, one or two of CoE in a period of two hours, then the ACC DR reset, you change your char and do everything again. Profit.

But there are some people that are so stupid that don´t want to understand this simply answer to something simply and not some theory of conspiration about TP and make mountains of dollars for ANET.

This post is not directed to OP, just to some people here that need a resumed version.

Now to OP, if you are so PRO that you can HIT ACC DR doing all this dungeons, how about trying new dungeons and doing those more difficult?
Those days me and my guildies done path 3 of COE, and when we understand the lava destroyer we can´t understand why people whine so much about this thing…

Valkadekitten280:

I am not a fan of the B2P or F2P model for exactly this reason. In a subscription MMO you can say, with a fair amount of certainty at least assuming they’re not a blatant gold buyer, that if someone has a rare or otherwise prestigious item, they earned it.

False statement.

I played in bRO, Brazilian Ragnarok Online, when it had only the subs model (no cash itens). One player paid R$5000,00 (something about 2500 US$) for JUST ONE CARD. Because it was a “legendary” card.

Even if someone just locks a legendary in an account, people will buy all this account with real money (most accounts in bRO today are “ebay” accounts, bought and sold freely). EVEN in the subs server.

YOU WIN! What more you have to say to me. They gave you the powers and give a kitten about the rest, even their manifesto, so you can stop whining about getting the healer role and the holy trinity to this game and be happy.

I will not wait another Tabula Rasa or City of Heroes happen here. I will look for a more stable MMO to waste my time and money on and will not wait for this to end and lose my time.

This case they boosted the healing system with a new set. So now the healing is really boosted. An join this with an guardian support/bunker spec, just use some DPS (glass canon) and you will have the trinity again.

In a game of NO TRINITY. Yeah, they realized that it´s more fast profitable to just make this another TABULA RASA, they close the game at same point and will not give a kitten because if you paid something they send you a mail telling that you will give a discount in theyr new GENERIC MMO.

Sorry if I´m ranting, but now I see the direction of ANET in this game.

P.S… another thing to say City of Heroes…

When I see that I just vomited… Seriously ANET? You said NO HOLY TRINITY but because some generic MMO addicted whined about can´t have this kitten party configuration you just made a way to bring it back?

Sorry but for me it´s just the end. The next you will bring something that gives +1000 vitality and toughness so you can bring back the tank role?

Well you win, make this game another kitten MMO, I don´t care. When it comes to be another TABULA RASA , just remember that people wanted this game as you stated on your manifesto and wanted it to suceed.
But you are turning it to another generic MMO and it will go to hell and will close the servers because it will be not profitable because there are new kitten MMO with more shinies.

All hard work of the players lost, and those who wanted to change this game to another generic MMO will be in the new shinie. And people like me will be kitten.

Thanks ANET, you really make my day better.

@Crusaderrabbit
If you don´t want to thanks ANET go make some another post about the issues with your work as an IT and how ubercapacitated you are to complain. Leave this post to people who are really happy with the content.

@Topic
It´s better to ignore some people here and just give their posts the chance to go to oblivion.

@ANET

Thanks for the work and giving us another good event.

For some time there are headgear on cutscenes. then suddenly they disappear and as I remember it´s after an update. I don´t remember when it happens. We even noticed and are asking what happened with the headgears when my clan are doing Arah for the first time.

It´s just some cosmetic adjust I believe.

+1

If the armor sprite is just the same whatever char you are playing why not mantain the preview system for all armors? It´s really interesting to see how some armor/weapon will equip in my chars so I can choose when I´m doing new chars.

Removing a interesting preview system is just a way to make some sort of people not wanting new things (most of them spending gems to buy new char slot).

All right, I think people are just losting their minds or trying to get some attention.

Why remove daily as an achievement? If you can do more than someone who only does daily, so you can do your daily and lots more? I´m really not getting the point of your problem.

@Kalizar
The lessons on claypool are exaclty how a lot of block systems currently works. some works EVEN better than the lessons in claypool. Claypool lessons is about TIMING to raise your shield to block JUST ONE blow.

Some block skills can block just one blow
Some can block blows for 3 to 5 seconds
Some can even give some condition to the attacker.

So the claypool lessons are the least of the uses of a block, is a less effective way to block comparing to the diverse block system of the game.

Even some blocks don´t even need a shield. Just use the skill and wait for the blow!

But if you want some videogame blocks where you push a button and block forever or at least havin something like adrenaline (witch rapdly recharges) to control the time…

@Seithan
1 – the game has only 3 months, how can you really affirm that they will put more things on game every 2-3 months? You can´t, simply. They already told in reddity that ascended was a inicital concept idea withou time to implement in the launch of the game, not mora of the same but better.
2 – Any game has any form of grind, or else just give players everything they want anytime and get bored beacuse you have nothing to work for in the game. If you don´t want to work for something there are a lot of F2P and pirate game servers.
3 – When people stop wasting more time kittening about vertical progression and give more intelligent approachs on how to solve problems already in the game like annoying high life bosses without brains cells, unpopulated areas, dungeons bugs, unattractive dungeons, etc… in some time no one will ever remember this VP…

If it´s an allow solorun or not, it´s not the point. No one have the right to bother no one in the game. And use this to bother people who are trying to solo a dungeon (even against my opnion…) is against even the rules of the game.

Everyone has the rights to play without being bothered by other players.

The problem is:

This topic changed to a full 180 degress. The problem is an problem with some mechanic in the game not make a dungeon soloable, killing one boss or else.

If you really want this, there are other topics to discuss.

And I don´t see none problem in make someone uninvitable if he is in a dungeon. How did you can invite someone if they are in another party or if he is in another dungeon. I´m not talking about people inside a dungeon invite someone outside.

If there are some other types of gem selling system other than ingame. Some credit resseller or something. Maybe it can solve most of this problem.

By the six…

People today love conspiracys. There none of this company killing currency to buy gems. It´s about players with LOT of gold and cand do nothing with this because everything is too expensive or don´t have enough (players fault too). So when there are some events people spend lots of ingame money and influence the price of the gem in general. And people don´t buying gems to sell just make the price skyrocket (stock laws).

In a nutshell:
If there are more gems/gold than gold/gems prices go down.
If there are more gold/gems than gems/gold prices go up.

Simple as this.

@Warchiefomega
And it´s this business plan that gives you a MMO game to play. Try to make a profitable MMO server (there are some “server emulators” out there) and you will understand what I´m talking about.

Sorry but RPG was for me all about having fun with friends, from the time of books RPGs to these modern MMORPGs. And that is something that every company advertise about their game, not we put some high numbers for you to count.

I don´t have any azuran female char, but now that you say… Yeah.

Navi.7142:

The toys could be miniatures, that would be cool xD

sylvari: mini Trahaerne (:D)

If I get a mini saladhead telling “this will not end well” in that old school teacher voice I get a plane got to ANET hq and shoot someone in the kitten…

Please a mini Lionguard Lyns instead of saladhead.

Akiko.2364:

… that doing anything but maximizing your personal DSP is cutting into the efficiency of the group and would result in them never wanting to play with you again…..

It´s not a problem to maximize your DPS on a well balanced group. In a well balanced group it will be very welcome, kill a boss faster will be better than hours of taking and mitigating damage.

The problem is that it´s a new game with lots of players that don´t understand why they have to work in groups than to be the supersoloman and save the world alone (die Batman!).

The time more people know how to make the front/mid/backline efficiently there will be always space for full bunkers/ full support/ full dps.

Edit support =/= healer

1 – RNG
2 – Grind
3 – Bugs
4 – NO reenter before DC
5 – Level of dungeon
6 – Problem to find group in later dungeons

For me is just the DC problem…

Make the people uninvitable when they are already in a dungeon. Just a plus check.

Graevarg.4871:

WHY then can I not stow my pet and fight alone?

If it isn´t an sarcastic suggestion I don´t know what a suggestion is.

The problem must not be you, but the rest of people that will use this to make an elitis game and not a game for normal people like me to play and enjoy.

Before I had a good guild in GW1 my mesmer was a PVP only char. Even with all my efforts to show how good a mesmer was in PVE. Because PVXsite tell everyone that mesmers are kitten in PVE. Nobody cared about playerskill or imaginative way to use skills. It´s because GW1 turned a elitist game, but without new players it´s not a problem just go with the flow.

But this is a new game, only 3 months old, with a lot of players that don´t even understand some basic mechanics of work group (yeah kitten holy trinity and solo players). If a tool is launched to effectively optimize builds without trial and error in no time will come another pvxsite with optimized builds, with optimized party builds to optimze dungeons and everybody will have to use this or play skyrim, ops, gw2 alone.

That´s the problem.

Long time in a 3 month old game? Really people?

And wanting a bot server in this game, where most people will try their bots to use them in a non bot server? You even talked about the economy. Why someone will buy a gem to pay for this server if you can have everything while you sleep? If this game is a Subs, well then this will be an management decision. But in a game like this it will just waste resources.

And there are games and servers that you can use some auxiliary AI.

I´m trying to imagine my female charr ranger with high heels. Really try this. and imagine their movement, running or fighting.

Really. Try this.

No it´s not a trolling, it´s my sarcasm at the best.

A tool to bring the same elitism that I see in GW1 to the point that everyone just play as PVXsite tells them to play. It´s really good to new players. If it´s an old game, without some major changes in the player number, stability, I gladly want a way to make the game more elitist. But not in a new game, not stable, needing more new players that will need to at least learn the mechanics of the game before be elitist gamers too.

But, it´s a non geek opnion just some normal guy whit lots of free time in the work.

Meh… myself get a hard time to pass the torchs even with my warrior. I have some lag issues and most of the time I pass the torches and then I drop dead aparently far away from torches when everyone sees me one or two torches to end. Most time I had to guess the time to start running than to look at the torches.

Anyway. The path 3 is totally doable and not boring at all (I really want to know if people using boring this days really know what this mean) except for last boss. In the beginning in a pug is real funny, but when people understand the tatics its just annoing. DPS, run to bridge, DPS, run to bridge… Why not we have more bosses with 3 ou 4 part fights with different strategies?

It´s not a some sort of teleport. It´s the way ANET developed their MMO, leaving everything to client to compute so server will have just the work of know where is someone and compute and store their prizes.

There isn´t even a real collision detect on the system (Physics plz?).

I don´t see nothing wrong in a tool to people maximize their DPS so they can show how his build is the best to everyone, and people will start to copy this build and forget that can be other builds that work better for different situations and well it will even bring party builds where they need a,b,c,x,y classes with their perfected builds just to do one dungeon, and will need to change to d,b,a,x,z class with other perfected builds for other dungeon…

No nothing wrong…

And what suggestions you two are doing? NO ONE, just complaining about people complaining. If someone need to change this post or something like that is a moderator.

Anyway, he is doing a suggestion. But need more than two brain cells to understand.

This and another question. Why did you take almost all good hex spam from GW1, all those useful mantras and weels, even echoes you take from the mesmer and give us Illusions that don´t work. Almost all the time the mobs just charge the player. It´s really difficult to make them attack DIRECTLY the illusions, and most time even using something to stealth they just come back to us when we get out stealth.

Did you tried to click with the left+right buttons (same time) it makes the char move by the mouse so you only need to strafe. I don´t know how you can have all this uses with only one hand and some limited move with the other. If you have a 5 buttons mouse you can even bind some movement to the other buttons (i have one with 2 extra buttons on the left side of the mouse that can be binded to strafe left and right). I use my mid button to weapon swap. It can leave for you one hand just to push skills.

Rieselle.5079:

If the entire party builds cooperatively (just like a trinity MMO party might choose the right members), then you can do the sort of coop tactics that you might find in a trinity MMO.

Just that the paradigms are a bit reversed:

- Many members of the party should take something that can heal allies.
= Everyone can heal, but heals are weak in this game.
= If a party member is low on health, rather than 1 Priest responsible for healing him, the entire party should temporarily get together and heal him.

- Many members should take skills that support others in a defensive way.
= If someone is being targeted by the enemy, the other members should cast their defensive support on him whilst he kites and dodges.
= That person is thus “tanking” the enemy, by being the focus of the group’s defensive skills. (the party should still continue to throw damage at the enemy as well, of course.)

- If the player who is targeted is adequately healed and defended, then people who are not targeted can focus on damaging skills without wasting time on self-healing or dodging.
= Thus we have “DPS” role.

- Dont forget CC skills like knockdown and stun, they can also be used to save other players.

- Most heals and defense skills in this game are AOE. So even if multiple players are targeted by enemies, you can defend all of them together if the targeted players stick close to each other. The non targeted players can keep away to stay out of AOEs and stay safe whilst DPSing and using their defensive support.
——————————-

So we see that we have GW2’s own trinity of damage, support, healing. But instead of single people occupying these roles, instead what happens is that the entire party will focus these activities on one player when required.

It just requires parties to create balanced coop builds that can support the party in a variety of ways. Everyone is too used to making optimised solo builds, or builds that focus exclusively on one thing.

FINALLY! Someone who really know how to play this game without this … about holy trinity. Instead of using the lazy way EVERYBODY works to progress in the game.

Congratulations!

@tonyl
What you just say is to remove cooldown so you can spam and bla, bla, bla. Like I said LAZYNESS! Most skill can block and move at same time using a shield. some can’t move but you can use the shield more efficient than just block. And engi can block with a shield and even stun and knockback what can be more efficient to stop a deadly blow than block because the mob don´t even need to be targeting you to do that. And can even combo with the block of the wrench tools.

Just your LAZYNESS to think creatively is blocking you to be more than you are. Your will to be the ubersupermegamastersavior of the world is stupid, learn how to work in group instead of trying to be the solo man.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

but.. to evoke Colin Johandsome: “When it’s ready.”

Last time a game company tell the same thing they give us *gasp*Duke Nuken Forever*shivers*

@Strifey
Congratz to you… now try to arranje a pug and keep spamming for someone wanting P1.

Even in my guild NO ONE wants P1. NO ONE wants a dungeon that even faster has a high chance of continous wipe.

But some people here can´t understand, they prefer a very difficult dungeon and they will fell like gods than get a more pug friendly dungeon and get people to do.

Keep like this, will be better for everyone, and when the game don´t have new players, only magic formulas to do some dungeons and people getting kicked because they are new to the game and are slower to keep with the other players don´t complain on forum that the game is dying.

This is the end, like I already said, I don´t want to waste time with this type of conversation.

The only problem I see to make some adaptations is people getting kicked in kitten from gamepad players. Gamepad are more versatiles than k/m the buttons are in a more logic way and easyer to acess than on a keyboard. Bind the buttons correctly and you can time your skills with more accuracy.

@Yahiko
And less people will use if they force someone into your grup taking from you the choice.

And yeah, I´m really lazy, i prefer to wait playing or using map talk to really talk to people instad of spamming LFG in LA.

Yeah sooo lazy.

It happened on GW1, only a few of these unusual players stayed, almos all players are civil and really know how to do something and even try to be helpful. The problem was only with some people that never listen to party leader and things start to be reall nervous.

@Twicedead
And how someone will be level 1 with 100% completion? Please can you explain it to me? Even to complete some dungeons you have some level cap to play it in a normal mode without be killed by one shot, i can´t even imagine how it will work to play as LV1 complete normal and hard as LV1… or you have a real good friends to put you in a 20 slot bag or kill every single mob in the dungeon in normal and hard, just for you to get rare itens at level 1…

Sorry you are telling nothing with sense to me.

People making stupid things like confronting a boss naked in a dungeon inf front other players to receive nothing is real stupid, it´s not acomplishment. Is like those world records some people made like stay in a poll fulled with kitten for a month or something like that.

And give a player something more to do when we have nothing more is a good way to keep people playing but it can be a dubious concept for some people and I will not waste more of mi time trying to make anyone understand my point of view.

Bye.

We just have to wait for the new shinies to call the attention of the new gen players. They run to the new game to turn it a new kitten. And we can enjoy a less problematic community.
