Someday i was asking myself just about that. I really want M.O.X. again. These azura golems look so unexpressive and weak. M.O.X. was a majestic golem.
So in your mind, doing things as fast as YOU WANT not the way it´s intended is ok.
Even them showing that NOT THE WAY they want you to do it fast, you don´t stop complain.
Well let´s make a suggestion. Why not every boss drop 100G or a exotic equivalent. and better, why not in a 1 person dungeon, without any trash mobs between you and the boss. And there´s more, why not the boss simply impale himself whith his own sword whitouth a fight and when you loot him there´s a list of all the prizes for you to choose.
And even that all will complain about how difficult is to choose 1 item in a list.
That´s the way ANET is showing that they don´t want you to take EVERY EASY route to be rich, they want you to play. A good player know that and learn how to clear a dungeon as fast as they need to get to their loot. It´s not open a hole with a spoon or with a Caterpillar, it´s about play a game, know how it works and be a better player.
If you want the easy way to do everything there are lots of games where you can exploit or farm spots and get rich. It´s as simply as that. And when these games get inflationed, the economy simply inexistent and everything in the game impossible to buy for a newbie gamer and everything becomes boring, then come here and tell about your diggin a easy hole.
When I imagined Trahearne saying to my azura.
“You’re a good guy, commander. You haven’t kittened me in the kitten…yet,”
ROFLMAO…
Seriously, close your eyes, imagine saladhead and listen to the vídeo.
IF you are already on a guild jsut represent them with every character. You will not receive this kitten.
It´s not Trahearne, it´s way better.
This is him…

I´m level 3, and get 2 vials without ANY mf gear. I think you need some 4 leaf clover ou rabbit feet.
And if you don´t get the desired status of your ring just go ahead with it. In higher levels of FOTM I believe that agony resistance is better than some more power or vitality.
I was in a non dominating server when i get my completion. Everyday I looked for some points and every friday when WvW resets i run to get what i can. Being in a non dominating server is even easyier because you enter in the maps almost instantly.
Instead of giving loot in bosses why not make a group performance reward system. It will work in a player basis. If all players work together to the final boss then spawn a chest and everyone get the loot based on how many bosses and mobs the group killed. If someone is kicked he will receive their share on dungeon out and if they call another player he will receive nothing, or receive only for the mobs and bosses he kills with the party.
You can even mantain other chests giving some loot even some little loot from mobs and bosses (some whites, blues, greens, a little money).
Ex:
1 – A party go all the way to the final boss together, kill all mobs an bosses, they will receive 4 bags and some nice loot in the chest. Then they proceed to kill the boss, have they final reward. Get out.
2 – A party kill the first boss and one player is kicked ou have to go, he will receive the share for the mobs and bosses he kill with the party when he leave the party.
3 – Someone got DC, if the party killed the boss with him already in the party he will receive the loot in the end. IF the party kick him when he connects again a chest appear for him and he get his share.
Maybe it will be difficult to implement but with some more ideas it can put an end to some farms and more people doing the dungeon.
AND PLEASE, if you liked this idea put this to work just after repair ARAH, SE, CoE and Fractals.
IF you want to kill only two bosses in a dungeon NOTHING is stoping you from that, except your OWN GREED. They don´t put a barrier in front a boss and said that you need to explore all dungeon then kill the boss. They just take the easy loot from them.
The CoE chest is a random loot, so running to only one chest just to have a chance to get lodestones is not a big problem to be nerfed. BUT the first boss on the dungeon almost ALL THE time give the loot.
Stop trying to change the thing to other problems. Stop shouting random similar situations to justify your greed.

If you have a way to contact other players on other servers. Make groups, you can even make some friends and even fixed dungeon groups.
For me, joining different people is not a community breaker.
And what simpler than put someone in a list and waiting for a group for the dungeon they want. And when there are a group looking for someone, pick them and go. Even from another server with random classes.
IF you are some of those elitists (the same who never put an Mesmer in the group in GW1 PVE but will love the same mesmer on PVP) sorry for you. IT will be more difficult to get what you want. But for me, in a game that every class can have a big role in a party and playerskill is the only real problem… And even if you get the perfect party setup, you can be stuck with kitten players who put their MF gear and delay the party with constant downed and dies…
If as queue you understand put you in a list a force you to join some party sorry, it´s difficult to think in english and sometimes words scapes from my fingers. I wanted to say a pick list.
A LFG system is really needed, I don´t want to stay in LA spamming LFG for an hour when I can just put me in the queue, wait for a group PLAYING.
But the “backpack” is part of what skill you are using. so other people will see and know. It´s like the color change on elem when choose an attunement, the aura a warrior irradiates when he is on vengeance.
IT´s more like visual clues than just “aesthetic theme”.
For me it´s a real valid question and put good ideas from other games will not turn this the other game, it will just make this game better.
I don´t want to spend my silver just for someone stop annoying me. It´s ANET job to stop annoying players/guilds.
Perhaps the mods ought to lock this thread, due to it becoming the focus of Mkalafut’s excessive trolling.
It´s not necessary, just ignore. Trolls get their power from everyone who gives them a little attention. Maybe Freud explains that… Oops I think i give some.
Anyways. I spend more than 17000 points in two guilds. Well I have a lot of participation on them (One of them spend 48000 points). So if I build the guild I´m on I think that I need to at least have the chance to demote a away GL and choose another to go.
@SiNoS
But people here are make the thing obrigatory and not just optional and some long term goals to get (Like my obsidans, tormenteds…).
They want it fast and will go to extreme to make gold to buy everything. they don´t care if it will only make the prices skyrocket (ops, already happened) or if it will make others stop play (like people getting kicked from parties because they don´t want to do only the first boss).
They just want money fast and easy and will make a hell to everyone if they don´t give them what they want.
And that’s the point. There are lot of games that grind and farm is obrigatory because there will always be a lot of new powerful gear. and they are trying to make the same thing here even if like ANET said that will not be more powerful gears and they will have all time to get they gears.
Here is not obrigatory to grind, no one will put a kitten gear with +99999999 in all atributes in your face. If you get your exotics and some ascended you are in the game. And it´s even different from GW1 if you are on a not necessary profission and/or don´t have an specific skill you never do a dungeon. I have hard times in the past for people to believe in my guild that my mesmer was a good choice for PVE and not a PVP only profession (before some DOA I never have to beg again).
Yeah, I know that there are a lot of those elitist people and it will ever be in every MMO, they are kittens and whe can´t do nothing about that. Just look for better pugs and curse ANET for not putting a better LFG system in the game.
I’m going to suggest remaking the aquatic fractal using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nybmygtLiKE for your inspiration.
Don’t tempt me….
OMG! A giant lobster with lots of crabs are trying to kill me…
UUPS! Already done that idea…
@Excisidium
They already told that was not their intention and the ascended items was to be there from the start, they rushed things, they put a new item ingame and it backfired. they told they learned a lesson and for now I believe that. If ascended itens was some gem/store item necessity I will just call that they are trying to make profit on this.
Yeah, Arah is bugged, but there are more dungeons to be explored and I need help to explore some and get explorer titles.
And how you will get your legendary? How about play the game and don´t care? And then one day you put four rares in the forge and bum, get your pre, and for playing the game you have gold and t6 craft itens and even gifts.
Edit: I edit a lot my posts, sometimes to put more ideas, sometimes to correct my spelling, my english is very rusty…
@Cerise
You are wrong, YOU have one of those rares insights and a real concern. BUT this post is about they closing the source of fast income to get shinies faster.
It´s not about that kitten decision of ANET to give 100-500gold to SOME people (most of my guild was in the event, only 1 get a pre, 1 in 50…). And even then the price of the pre drop down and the price of other itens skyrocket.
They have a bad decidision, they learned a lesson but people don´t leave it behind.
But here is not about these decision, it´s about they stopped a fast and easy source of lots of money and people are using this to make more fuss and try to frame ANET from their shortcomings.
I understand your reason, but YOU are alone in a sea of gold farmers (not necessary gold sellers).
@Sarne
Yes, a lot people here is just ranting about gold and not get enough of this. Don´t play blind.
And they already said that was not their intention to make vertical progression and these are to be available in the first moment of the game.
With Borderlands2, diablo3, Tera (Ra*p*ist/Pedophile World Online) and other games just about to launch they must rushed things. And it backfired. I believe they learned a lesson and all these vertical progression kitten is just in players head.
(edited by evolverzilla.2359)
Please. The voice acting isn´t the reason to someone stop playing a game. If you want they to change and put more effort on voice acting (like us) just say it, stop using the brazilian method, say that a only thing in a game is so horrible that they will prefer to take a kitten in the ear than play the game (or something like this).
Yes, im brazilian and know what i´m talking about.
Well, that´s one of these ideas that don´t hurt to have implanted and with some ingenuity can even have more roles in the game (RPG roles I imagined).
Why everybody here is ranting JUST about gold. Really, how can we believe that you are not farming to sell your account or gold? Make the game IRL profittable.
Rare cases here someone has a REAL concern that don´t involve getting LOTS OF GOLD as fast as you can.
And that´s the problem. You don´t care about the game. For you game is just go to most profittable area, get lots of gold and buy your shinies. They put LOTS of effort for you to PLAY the game, to everybody note that there are much more events on Cursed Shore than only Plinx (someone knows that in the other side of the river there are more chain of events?). Even there are DRAGONS in this game and YOU can battle them.
But gold is more powerful. Stay hours getting all the gold to buy your ectos, your T6 and everything, just to make them more and more expensive. And when all the gold you farm cant buy a single ecto you start an post ranting about the high prices in this game and you can´t buy your shinies because ANET not intervene on the economy or not selling T6 craft items on store…
STOP FARM/GRIND GOLD. STOP WITH THE ONE SPOT PROFIT THEORY. Go play the game, enjoy the view, get your own T6 crafting itens (you will spend less money doing this). IF it´s not what you want there are several grind/farm games that will love you for stay playing like crazy 24/7.
If you want ANET to level lucky players, with dedicated players, with farm/grinder players well, you will never get this in any MMO. Lucky players will always get better than other types. Farm/grinders will always have lots of money and nothing to spend because the prices are high. Dedicated players will have always everything they need to get the best shinies, except those lucky part that they lucky players have.
And for someone here telling about buy in a chinese website, please just do that, and get banned and your credit card number and password stolen. And when you get kitten just come here and start a post whining about your experience, i need a real laugh.
@Cirroq
The prices are this absurd because EVERY kitten player is just trying to get a lot of money instead of playing the game and getting crafting materials. If they kill all the farms the player will need to get all gold in this world and waiting for better prices (never spending this gold) people will have to go get what they need.
So everytime you farm the prices will rise. And you will not spend your money because the prices are high and continue to farm to get more money, and when you farm to get money the prices rise…
It´s a vicious ring.
Stop grind, play the game.
Edit: Yeah, i edit a lot my posts. But I think this is important, before FOTM sometimes I bought craft items to complete some I don´t have. after FOTM the prices skyrocket, just think a minute about that.
(edited by evolverzilla.2359)
Why are you all so angry about killing a farm?
This game just done a vertical progression and get an VERY angry response for that (at least in AMA about 1/15 of the questions wasn´t someone angry with ascended gear). I f they get their lesson it will not repeat.
So if we will not have vertical progression WHY did you want so much to have to farm=grind like crazy? Sell your gold IRL (there are people like these so a valid question)? Personal satisfaction? Are you in a hurry to get bored in this game so you can play another? Have a lot of money just to buy a skin?
Eventually everyone who plays this game will get top gear and there will be newbies who will look to you like look to a god. Just play the game.
And if you are curious about how i get my money, a bunch o T6, my exotics and even my rares. I just play the game, do some dungeons, get some gear, go to some low level maps and do dailies, even help some newbies found POIs, WP and Vistas with my explorer title.
I know that it´s difficult to drop the grind and try to enjoy game, all other MMO just teach us that a game needs grind (and I really don´t understand how this game are so grind need) and if you don´t farm you will be a looser. Just stop grind.
(edited by evolverzilla.2359)
If Garm piss on Trahearne foot, kill him and assume as a Marshal I will give credits for doing the right thing.
Argh, Trahearne looks like a generic old teacher, not someone who needs to be strong and inspiring and captivating. Why did you need to kill Tybalt just to put this log with a speaker?
If it´s just a budget problem do something like they do in ROTT, use the programers voice.
But I agree, everytime I see my honored charr talking and my barbarous warrior it just listen like the same thing. and with my charming azura it don´t look real charming, just like he is bossing around everybody. If you have a “personality” meter why not put more personality on our chars?
I know people that never do any story mode and live in dungeons. Do a story mode is not necessary for anyone. and if you want to start every dungeon you do just pug SM it´s really easy.
Some people are so afraid because those power hungry MMOs that spawn powerful armors/weapons at every month that they think they need to grind like crazy to have always the top shinies. And arenanet don´t help much with these ascended thing.
So when they found a game where grinding or not eventualy you will get to the top they can´t understand, and need to do what they are addicted to do. GRIND.
Just stop grind, enjoy the game, there are a lot of things to do and if you don´t try to make this game another tipical MMO it will be a game to play for years, just like GW1.
30 minutes for a perfect dungeon run is ok. 1 hour for first time is ok. Make some longer dungeons with much more reward just to piss of gold farmers it´s ok too.
Well, i got almost all professions level 400 whitout grind, just playing the game and getting items on my way in the game. I don´t need every skin that the game put in store to sell, and there is always visa to buy them if needed.
And I will not stop playing tomorrow so eventually I will get my legendary shinie.
You are just thinking like all those addicted to grinding games where you have to get the most powerful things as fast as you can because in 2 months they will put more powerful things in game.
Stop grinding and enjoy the game.
@Humpossaurus
1 – when stuck in ice use an aoe skill and break the ice.
2 – IF you skip the campfires you can´t get achievement for this, and there is always the risk of getting killed from chilling effect or the fall (everytime I do this dungeon I have to go back an ress someone).
3 – The Ash Legion Spy Kit is being used from the beggining of this game and is a useful tip. They took away other items from the beggining because the gamebreaking and leave this because it requires more creativity to use but people insists in only use them in just a dozen ocasions. I can even use them to help ress friends without calling more aggro or wait for mob to kill everybody, go away them i start ressing.
If FOTM is made for hardcore players so it´s not a problem if someone can´t get the loot they want. So they will continue their grind. And grind is not funny and will never be in any MMO.
Sorry but in my opnion if they put a grinding system in a game and you are there to grind you will not get fun. But fractals is more than grind, but a lot of eyes here are just looking the grind and get loot.
If WoW has a 5% chance to get something, it has 95% chance for someone not get anything, so there is a big chance for you not get anything in a looooooooong time. At least in GW2 you don´t have to wait hours to try again (except the hardcore players in lv 26, 27…) and try to get shinies again.
And yeah, i agree getting a exotic loot you cant use in the char you get the loot is frustrating.
Today I discovered that they compress a lot (IF not all) fractals in the same map. When I was doing the swamp fractal I leave my turrets behind. When i entered the azuran fractal my turrets were all in use, were needed to explode them to use again. Then in jade maw i got a strange glitch, i got down ALL the way thru the map, and dying only when i moved. This is what i saw…

I believe that´s the problem. For someone to reload on the same spot when got DC, it can lead to new bugs, people being stuck on other fractals and their friends being stuck with him in another checkpoint. This will be a real pain in the kitten.
A bare handed skritt monk punching a shark in the face. It will be epic.
Why it´s so difficult to port NOT the code of GW1 dungeons but the ideas. I got dc´ed in my personal story a several times, and guess what, start all over again even if i was in the last boss. Why the hell they do that to a personal instance and use this same code in FOTM. Why not just use the “Did you wan´t to rejoin your instance?”.
If it´s because your party can end a boss before you can reconnect, just make you join them on the new map. If it´s the same map you DC just join in the same spot in the same state you are before. If you reconnect and use another character don´t show the message to rejoin and kick the person out of the instance.
Stop reusing a system made for ONE person instance to work on a group instance.
Frequently I click select a mob to kill, shoot my skill aaaaand… it hits another.
When I use melee attacks it´s difficult to me to know who I´m attacking because the system simply select the fartest target on screen and when I try to use some charge skill it runs away like crazy! Even if i click and select my target.
When I use my ranger or my eng they simply shoot whatever they want because I can´t select the target even clicking like madman. And if I click it selects another target, attack and stop, then I push attack again and it attacks the selected mob, now I have to attack and kill two angry mobs with an average protected char. And to make things worse if I dodge and lost visual contact with the target the targetting system simply choose another target far away from my original.
It´s so dificult to make a solid targetting system to choose the target right in front of the pointer if there is nothing selected, and if there´s something selected it really target, lock and attack them?
This system makes me spend A LOT of points in toughness to protect me from the mobs this targeting system makes. Spending a lot of time trying to kite melee attacks and for worse, having two ranged mobs or more (when they call and angry other mobs). It makes me run a lot in this game and it´s boring.

My charr ranger is named after the great adventurer who helped Pyre Fierceshot put down the Charr Shamans and help charr to be free of false gods.
This adventurer now have his ashes thrown in soil near Shing Jea Monastery.
Well, Abbadon had a lot more time to corrupt land than the dragons have today. And the land are already called Domain of Torment even before he had thrown there.
Even thinking about this, he must be a lot stronger than any individual ED, they needed a lot of power to throw Abbadon in DoT, he fought the other gods and can overpower two of them. For me its a lot of power.
@Bander
When Abbadon was destroyied he was chained, his body was lost, his army thinned, they destroy the Dam of Souls (his source of power). Well they need to weaken Abbadon before the fight and even this he was wakened fighting the other Gods. And remember, the adventurers are blessed, ascended, even one of them has the power to absorb others god powers.

Yes, there´s a lot of events to change A LOT The Shiverpeaks.
The other plant like lifeforce (like husks) aren´t sapient. They are older than silvari (in GW1 they are only some sort of an annoying healer with knockdown powers, in 250 years i believe they have evolved…), they rely on his plant form of life (in GW1 they appear from soil) and don´t have a hive mind.
A champion of Jormag corrupted Svanir (brother of Jora) and he was well and alive in the same period of the dwarves, azurans and other races. And for all lore we know every champion can corrupt what he can touch. But willpower can make a person resist a champions corruptions (Jora resisted by willpower and only lost his connections to bear spirit because her love of her brother). So a hive mind will give much more willpower to a person than rely only on themselves.
But you can be right on a thing. A person can resist a champion corruption, but not the ED corruption. And, well, when they awakened, there aren´t sylvaris all around. And we don´t see them roaming looking for individuals to be corrupted, they leave it to their minions.
Even if they use the same magic source it´s not necessary they use it the same way or conduct like other races when the bloodstones shared magic in the world. LIke playing mortal kombat in playstation and in xbox. They use the same source graphics and soundes, the final results are a lot the same, but the way they process internally was totally different.
And giving a LOT of diferences in a Sylvari, their body, their magic processing, their hive mind, they being the youngest race, no contact with dragons and his minions before the events. It turns them immune to corrution, at least for now. We don´t know what will happen if a ED have a direct contact with an Sylvari. And maybe Zhaitan was the only exception because the corpse of a Sylvari can be a lot diferent than the other known races and they don´t know how to raise them to corrupt.

Not just volcanic activity but glacial activity also. When glaciers melted the water enter thru the rocks and soil at low level temperatures (volcanic activity and changes in seasons). When they freeze again they expand and inthat expansion it breaks rocks (even very large rocks), create rivers, etc. …
@Narcemus
The races are not new to the dragons, at least for their champions (and what a champion knows…). Primordus uses his destroyers, a champion of jormag already corrupted Svanir (nornbear), Krakaltorrik was dormant near a charr acampament and glint protected the races from dragons before.
Unlike others, the silvari are totally new to this world (25 years against centuries of other races), they are not really plants, they use active circulatory system, they eat meat, they don´t rely on photosyntesis to live, it’s more like a mix of human and plant, so new type of life. Their magic cannot be the same of the other races because they don´t existed when Abbadon give magic to the world, so they derive they magic from another source, or, use the magic force in diferent ways, so it´s not a recognized type of magic for dragons to feed on.
Everyone here is typing the same letter everytime, they are plant, dragons corrupt plants, so they can corrupt silvari. Silvari are not plants, they are plantlike lifeform it´s a diferent specie.
On another topic. If you can´t remember the dwarves wasn´t corrupted by the dragons, reforcing my theory about hive mind protecting them. They even destroy a Primordus Champion and a lot of his minions (remember, champions can corrupt too).
A hive mind is shared with the other members of the same mind, so the others can and will protect that mind against the corruption.
The Silvari cannot be corrupted because they are a new especie in Tyria. A new magic form with a type of hive mind connecting them all from some sort of new universe (distant from the dragons) and a form of central mental server who mantain order (pale tree).
They can´t be corrupted because actually the dragons simply don´t know how. Maybe giving them time we will see some sort of corrupt soundless (because they are disconnected) or even some sort of hacking of their dream connecting them with a dragon´s dream. (Yes, i´m a computer technician).
And the Nightmare are not a dragon corruption, they are note even corrupted. When Malomedies was “probed” by asurans who think it was another of these moving plants, Cadeyrn ,Trahearne and Caithe have been shocked they feel hate for the other races, but the love for the Pale Tree mantain the last two in line, Cadeyrn simply start thinking that Pale Tree is corrupted by the Ventari Tablet and broke with those Dogmas. He wants to free the Pale Tree and the Silvari from this corruption and make Silvari what a Silvari wants to be, and not a Tablet written by an Centaur and a Human. So Nightmare Court have a justified motive, their methods isn´t justified because they force people into nightmare.

Even GW1 you can rejoin your group, the system recognizes a DCed player and give the option to rejoin. AN OLDER technology is better than what we have NOW.
Now I lost everything i done in the dungeon, almost to the end and see people saying thats the way it will be.
I don´t want to whine, but I spend 60 bucks to buy this game, and for me it´s a good money. If I can´t play content just because I CAN´T have other service provider in my region it will be a big kick in my….
I need to my ticket now be ignored, I don´t know that a merged account use the same password and i recovered mine using reset with my ncsoft account in GW1. Sorry about any incovenience.
