Oh really? Either you are right and Anet is wrong or Anet is right and you are wrong.
If raids aren’t meant to be pugged. Whats this? Looks like something design just for pugging. go figure.

…

Do note that finding a group doesn’t mean that your average PuG will succeed. Your odds throughout the week will vary ranging from excellent at reset to I want to punt a puppy on sunday.

You are genius. Last step – you need to realise wtf we are talking about.

You say toe-may-toe, I say ta-mah-toe, you say talking, I say whining

I think I know whats being talked about after 7 pages.

Some have spent more time and effort earning the items needed for their goal. Others have not spend enough time. Those who haven’t spent enough time are upset with those who have. They demand Anet lower the requirements to satisfy their lack of commitment, enabling them to achieve the same thing as those who put in more effort than they.

Sound about right?

Negative. Those who earn theirs kills using LFG spend more time and apply more efforts. While those who have static groups have all very easy. And in same time they will be able to craft armor while others will continue to spend hours, days and weeks in randoms lfg groups.

“almost impossible to acquire them with pugs since it requires too much time” == “proper argument”. What else do you need?

For example 2 weeks ago i finished two wings (1+2) in 2 hours with my guild mates. This week i used LFG and i finished only Trio + McLeod. I can’t even kill vale guardian with randoms (tried 3 times, spent 2 hours for nothing)! I am not ready to spend 2-3 hours of my real life for nothing every day.

Why do players with static groups and 120 -140 LI not want the number and associated time gate lowered from 150 LI?
What is the big deal to some of you guys with lowering it just a bit to 80-100 li this selfish we already done all the work and got ours is not good for raids or the game.

As I said here before, I couldn’t care less if it was lowered, but I also don’t see a valid reason to do so.
Lower it to 100? You will still see whining and base-less accusations on the forums. Again, YOU CAN’T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY, deal with it.

Valid reason is – IT REQUIRES GROUP OF 10 PEOPLE. IT IS HARD TO FIND RANDOM 10 PEOPLE WITH DECENT SKILL. What is so hard to understand for you?

They think they are more skilled and they worked more hard than you =)

There is a reason – english is not your main language for example. But any way, it is another thing. You don’t get the point (or you just confirmed?). We talk about skill and armor. But you think you must have advantages because you found a good group. We need to formulate another question: only people with static groups shoule be rewarded with armor pieces? I dont think so.

Collection and may be some repeated kills (1-2 times) should be enough. It is the proof of skill. Not “oh i found a good group lets laugh at those unlucky people that spent hours in lfg”.

eldrin.6471:

One of the biggest complaints about HOT was the unnecessary grind and time gates.
and what has now been added now to raids 150 li again grind and 4 month+ time gate.
anet claimed they learned something from the player uproar,they learned nothing.
next expansion will make or break this game.learn to learn anet

You can’t understand. For those who have static group it is not grind. They have 130-140 li already. They never tried to find a decent group using LFG. So they will never understand how good they are when 9 random people have differenct skill, don’t use TS and 2-3 people fail something on every kill attempt and you must work 200% times better and fail any way.

150 is ok for a static group. But for a random player it is insane amount of time spent. It is not easy to find a group. Most of groups fail on vale guardian for 2 hours. It is not my personal skill, it is all about skill of 10 ppl!

Collection proves your skill. 150 prove nothing except you are in a static group or you have hemorrhoids.

It should be lower. Like 60 LI for all pieces.

P.S. And/Or sell them for Shards like 10 each.

I did it some days ago. It is possible!

eNeRgOo.5463:

I feel anger here.
You have to unlock the sequence in World 2 Zone 2. There’s a ninja and his flower hidden somewhere in the mountains. You play the song to flower and hidden wall opens.
Knowing the sequence from YouTube is not enough. Dulfy actually said how to do it in her videos.
After you do that – You can open this wall in World 2 Zone 3 and after that – Send me 5 gold because of informations I just provided you

So yeah – Practice will do nothing here if you did not visit Lotus Ninja in Zone 2

+1 It is not difficult to open when you have this song unlocked. You need to visit zone 2 hidden room first.

I love you arena.net <3

Got 1 hour to play pvp. First match 1 man afk for 1 minute from start, when i asked to report him for abuse afk he sayd something like “shut up —-—r” and started to do something i dont know what then, he refused to res etc, match ended with two others afk…
In next match i had two people who just jumping around and doing nothing. (yes, ruby) They intentioanally failed this match. Can you ban them for harassment? Like if they intentionally fail open world events, or kill key mobs to not let you play normally?

~40 minutes of my life wasted, got much negative from gw2.

These offensive actions should be bannable, because if you don’t do anything it force people to hate gw2.

UBcktieDL.5318:

thief is quite strong against reapers. Do you run dash and escapist absolution?. Take these and you can run a fairly offensive build, since you don’t have that many boons that necro could corrupt.

You can’t kill him fast enough. You dont have enough initiative. While he can use 1 skill and you lost 50% hp (stun + freeze), another skill and you are dead.

I see two problems with necro:
1) Exceptional sustain with offensive builds. Fighting him on points is not worth time spent.

2) Chill spam you can’t have enough condition clean skills. Normal utility skills with 40 seconds cooldwon will have 66 seconds cooldown. On one moment you can’t use skills at all, only spam 1-1-1-1-1, while he can spam anything.

Boons is not a problem really.

yes your teammates are very bad sometimes, but so are your opponents.

No, no, and NO! Matrch making takes MMR to build a team. Then match making uses Pip Range to find an opposing team. It does not try, at all, to find an opponent of similar MMR to make a competitive match. So when we have Joe Legendary here running on Alt account, which many are doing, its the perfect example of how lower MMR players can be matched against high MMR players in lower divisions.

that’s your own illusion. mmr doesn’t mean anything, it’s a number that doesn’t win games. i’m sure there have been many games in which the enemy team had a higher mmr than mine and we still won. i beat a couple of 5man premades along the way to legendary too. you’re discouraging yourself by always taking mmr too seriously.

There is no illusion in saying MMR is used to make teams but not to find opponents. Look for yourself at the algorithm. I too defeated teams who seemed stronger but what does it prove? How does it change the fact this is how teams are made.

i’m not saying the system doesn’t match teams by mmr. what i’m saying is that mmr is just a number, it’s in no way a guaranteed loss if the enemy team has a higher mmr.

I don’t know how it works now but in every 2nd game i have 1-2-3 ppl that stay afk from start for 2 minutes for example, or they don’t know how to stomp. They can run from the base to far point (ours) while enemies attack our lord. They just lose teamfights 4v2, they have from little to zero damage but die in less than 1 second etc etc etc. It happens in every 2nd game. If you are super lucky and got decent team for 3 games, you will have 5 games in a row with idiots then. You just can’t win, no matters what you do, they just fail everything, even if you win mid and go to help others, they will leave mid and give it for free to fight 4v1 on close.

ArthurDent.9538:

ezd.6359:

You will not win a ranked arena against equal team by standing afk on close whole match.

If the teams are equal, they will also stand afk on close, and if they don’t they are the superior team, not equivalent :P

I meant theirs hands are equally straight, not the level of theirs mental abilities

Belial.9350:

But I lack the mental capacity to count 5 coloured icons

You don’t need to. Just don’t stay afk on close point. If you are super-duper pvper, you can win any duel etc, just go far! You can steal enemy beast or destroy gates etc.

You will not win a ranked arena against equal team by standing afk on close whole match. Math is stronger than your belives in holy pvp manul you just read. You just can’t beat the math. While you stay afk on close, your team fight 4v5 on two other points. They will lose it.

Wicked Rin.1972:

I can’t read sarcasm.

It’s common to let other players bleed out when they’re down off point. This makes them useless for that amount of time.

Tank meta with tones of blocks etc makes other build useless. But arena.net does not care. It is the same like fighting out of points.

I met a guard today who did not know how to finish. He stood near downed player and autoattacked him (ruby).

Fighting on points and using stability, blind or stun/daze is like high math for them.

Huttunen.8309:

You should block him, watch him queueing, and when he is in a match again start queueing yourself. I did that with one particularly bad DH when in diamond since I lost 3 out of 4 games with him in a row and started having decent games again

Nice advice <3

Ok i waited for 5 minutes before queue again. I got same guardian IN MY TEAM AGAIN. 6th time!

Better give my time back… But… i just wanted to say it is annoying me hard. And makes me hate PvP in gw2. I don’t believe them. It can not be random. They do it intentionally! Or their code is pure mess.

Now i see one person 5th time in 6 matches. He goes to fight with 0 hp literally. 1 time he was missed. It is just like random keep him in queue for me.

I dont trust you. IT IS NOT RANDOM. You intentionally put same people i have reported two times for FLG ABUSE (afk) to my team many times in a row. You do it many times a day. Plz stop it. Stop mock me arena.net

It is too hard to understand that it disrupts gameplay for others. Give them 3-5 years, may be they will hire someone who knows something about competitive play.

Message Body length must at least be 15.

TPMN.1483:

You can’t – and here in lies the issue.
If they punish the AFK – we would then just feed the enemy to lose faster right ? (As the feeder does not get banned).

No problem, just add another option “intentional feeding”. People must be banned from PvP for some time (or at least from ranked).

I tired of afkers too.

Btw i use “lfg abuse” option to report afkers. I mean they just farm points. Botting is for cheaters no? Why no “cheats” option btw?

Help! :/

dDuff.3860:

So, it is not allowed to Q with friends?

No. I call it “abuse”. Today i had a premade against me.

A1 from guild 1 – rank5
A2 from guild 1 – rank1
B1 from guild 2- rank5
B2 from guild 2 – rank1

My team was a combination of ranks of random people.

4 of them are premade.
A2 and B2 had same play skill like A1 and B1. A2 and B2 had cheap low level skins on their characters and they used dolyak finishers. They are geniuses or just twink accounts to abuse the system for unfair advantage. What do you think?

No need to explain why this is abuse and should be punished. But i don’t know how.

Try to run around it and spam F. It can be looted from right direction. I don’t know why.

Obviously, chose not most populated map (instance).

I think this idea deserves its own topic: disable elite specializations in ranked pvp.

If it so unbalanced, overpowered and not fun in many cases, why not just disable them? It will solve many problems.

P.S. I have HoT too.

Easy solution – disable elite specializations in ranked.

I finished my “The Legend” precursor long ago, but “Boar bristles” still drop for me. May be i know why: I bought one of that paint recipes by mistake and used on another character.

Same here. Got DC just after towers. 15 minutes login-server did not let me login. When it happened finally the dragon was dead and i can’t join that map, always get “network error” window.

Good job arena.net.

nvm. It is not from regular mobs., It is from special event, someone helped me to find it.

I killed may be 30 of them or more, but no item. Is it a bug or drop rate is too low? Anyone dropped it?

ezd.6359

Message Body length must at least be 15.

Also, every time i change PvE map, i get message about no access to log-in server.

Same here, but another map. Forced to leave the game 12 hours ago.

Just logged in, “match is in progress”.

GW2 is about skins and fun from just playing the game. Addon adds more to these categories. If you don’t like to play (collect skins, achievements, chat with friends, RP), why do you play GW2 at all? You are wrong almost in every point

See, the thing is, you don’t get to define fun for the rest of us.

Not everyone plays this game just for skin collecting or achievements. Others define fun in this game differently. We all have different reasons for playing this game and none of them are wrong.

Yes. But if i don’t like game content i don’t play it, i try another game. Literally you just go to a shop, buy a piece of meat and complain “it is not a candy QQ, add sugar plz”. What the point to play a game based on collecting skins, achievements and relaxed gameplay if you don’t like it?

Why do you need to grind xp? You need to finish something exactly at particular date? One week later is not good enough, right? You have other things to do? If they are so important, finish them then return to gw2 and play without grind.

Masteries is just another type of experience. Why nobody complains about leveling in MMO? Why don’t you complain about WvW xp and WvW abilities?

If they will remove masteries and add 80 regular levels instead, you will be more happy?

- Nerf this
- Nerf that
- I did not eat for a week and i finished all my goals (leveled up one toon using tomes of knowledge)
- QQ unsubscribe

next addon plz

GW2 is about skins and fun from just playing the game. Addon adds more to these categories. If you don’t like to play (collect skins, achievements, chat with friends, RP), why do you play GW2 at all? You are wrong almost in every point

I asked for it long ago but…

I think it will be good if you will add timestamp key for every api item.

Why?

For example, if you change one random ingame item (typo or smth), we need to update our database. Should we retrieve ALL data? It is not a good idea. We dont even know if you changed something. Should we pull everything everyday?

Is not it better just to check timestamp only?

Two ways:

1) items/last_updates?ids=…
return
{
“1234”: 0123456789, // item_id: unix_timestamp
“555”: …
}

2) items/changes?since=0123456789
return
[1234,555,6666]

- We will be sure our db is fresh and actual
- We can update only specific items/colors/recipes etc

P.S. It is not about “items” only, it is about all.

Will we see correct “built-in stats” anytime soon? Can you add this description to main stats for new items at least to make items look like in-game items? Or add api for “skill_id” (buil-in upgrade?)?

I think everyone will agree most of people need correct main stats only. It does not matter if they have “built-in upgrade” or any other fast-fix game feture.

Bring XXX to Metal Forest

Game shows no options to test XXX element if the character has quartz in his inventory, only option to charge quartz.

Same thing. But i stuck on “share the news…” stage, they just don’t want to talk to me.
