Signet of Inspiration for Guardian?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

penatbater.4710

It’s only OP in party support sense but if you’re soloing with a guardian that signet doesn’t make the class OP at all. I just thought it would be so much more useful on a Guardian than a mesmer.

It’s practically a “Save Yourselves” skill but party wide everyone benefits from it not just the Guardian.

Aye. If it’s solely on a solo-basis, it does make more sense on a guard. However, you can’t deny the OP it will have on a party-basis. And given that there are quite a number of party-based activities in this game (spvp, dungeons, fractals, WVW, even open-world pve), that’d make it way too OP.

GW2 +Rift==WoW Killer

No MMO released right now will kill WoW. WoW is like the smoking, drinking uncle you have that despite all his bad habits, still manages to outlive all his other relatives. Eventually he’ll die (they all die in the end), but from old age, not from someone stabbing him in an alleyway.

when your’e quite demonstrably wrong.

300 holos (spam 1)

150 pinatas (spam F)

250 candies (spam doubleclick)

50 effigies (Spam F then esc)

and that’s just the current “event”.

Someone obviously hasn’t played a hardcore korean grindy game. For some oldschool reference, 1 week in guild wars 2 = max level. 1 week in Ragnarok Online (before they added all of the different classes, levels, back when highest level is 99, first gen maybe) = you’ll be lucky to hit second class change.

The point is for someone to give you kittenton of boons, and you give them right back. It’s also very flavorful. You’re “inspired” by the boons you received so you try to “inspire” others as well. If it was on a guard, it’d be way too OP with all the boons guardians already get.

Remember the Mad King’s Clock Tower? That’s the way to reward people… Imagine if the chest a the top rewarded one of the dragon weapon skins… I’d be ok if you could only do it once per account. Right now, getting a weapon skin all about luck.

You would get a storm of protest from the 9/10 who couldn’t do it…

A lot of people would quit with GW2 being renamed Jump Wars 2…

I like this idea but I kinda agree with you too. Too many people will QQ. In the end, someone somewhere will always QQ about the smallest of things.

Anyone else scared of the new updates? And by that I mean the new skins/armor that gets pinged in LA. I’m afraid that anet will lock them up into more RNG boxes only available @ the gem store =/ I don’t mind though if it’ll be like the rox stuff where you can buy it on the fly. but I’m getting really tired with the RNG boxes, so much so that I do NOT want any more new skins coz I’ll just get disappointed with either
1.) so few people getting them
2.) me not getting them

When I saw the chest burster sclerite weap, I knew I just had to have it. Then when I saw the abysmal droprate of the skin, I resigned myself into not getting it. Now that the steampunk weaps/armor are gonna be here soon, I’m afraid I’m setting myself up for more disappointment =/

When you’re trying to

1.) survive/kite a group of silver mobs
2.) damage them as well
3.) relay a message/strategy

ALL AT THE SAME TIME, you need fast fingers to type and fast info relay. That’s why these shorthands are “made”.

Sometimes I even type in broken english just for speed. Such as “boss raise hand dodge” for kholer. It simply means “when the boss raises his hand, dodge roll out”. But if I had to type that whole sentence, i would’ve died.

tbh if i run two fractals for 3 hours and then like 6 dungeons afterwards and I’m sitting at 2/5, that’s a problem.

cut down 1 dungeon run, and you’ll finish your daily.

no?

So… in this case, doing a dungeon is clearly more important for you than your daily (which is totally cool, no problem there). What’s the problem then?

Price on server transfer

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

penatbater.4710

They should make it so that transfering to lower-pop servers is completely free, while transferring up costs.

Would solve a lot of problems.

Still would make a number of guilds bandwagon and artificially pushing up the rankings of lower-tier servers.

"Play The Way You Want"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

penatbater.4710

I don’t know. I went by the definition Anet gave when they explained it. It means that you can get to max level and max gear in a variety of ways. For example…

You can get exotic armor and weapons by doing WvW, or by doing dungeons, or by doing world events, or even just staying in a starter zone and doing dailies (though you’d eventually have to go to Orr to get the karma exotics with it).

That’s what Anet said it means in more than one interview. Why shouldn’t I believe them?

Because that’s not true anymore. Remember, max gear is the ascended tier now.

I said armor and weapons, not trinkets. And for armor and weapons at this point it’s STILL true. Trinkets are neither armor, nor weapons.

You are still excluding them simply because they contradict your general thesis. Also – there will be both armor and weapons, we already know that (and there is nothing suggesting they will be any easier to get than trinkets are).

I think it’s premature to worry about ascended weapons/armor. I predict that’s something they’ll release in another year (if they release it at all. I’m not holding my breath though. I’d rather they release new armor skins).

Price on server transfer

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

penatbater.4710

I agree that it is a ripoff, but I actually think that is the intention. They want you to see the price and instead of pulling out your credit card / in-game gold, step back and go “Whoa, that’s pricey, maybe I should stay on my server instead”. Seeing as how server means absolutely nothing outside of WvW with the introduction of Guesting (and the fact that instances are cross-server already), this makes sense. That said, they also don’t want players who are desperate for WvW with their friends being held out from doing so, and that is why we’re still allowed to change servers at all.

If you want to play with your friends in their guild and do PvE/PvP content, you can do all of that already at no charge. If this is strictly about WvW, however, then you really need to cost-analyze it. Do you want to support that server that much? If so, then go for it, and it’s worth the money. If not, then don’t and never look back.

Umm, I don’t think that’s what Anet intended when they set the price that high. I honestly think one of them just said, “Well, looks like we can squeeze them for all the money they didn’t spend on RNG, so let’s set the price to 30 bucks.” Pure greed, and not an actual feeling of care for the game.

Multiple guilds have been transferring left and right on the backbone of cof1 runs, not actual credit card purchases. And you’re wrong. For too long wvw-ers have been complaining about spies, and bandwagoners (during free transfer server days). The implementation of a high transfer cost more or less mitigated those negative stuff. If it wasn’t high, we’d still see those problems today. If it wasn’t that high, wvw-ers would still complain.

@OP
Lowering prices would encourage MORE bandwagoning, and mess up the matchups. Just try to suggest this in the wvw forum and see how people react.

Or is it just the combination of dragon ball and your new cosmetic helm?
Serious question, but expect you to say that it makes for better roleplaying or something.

I hate the helm. It looks ugly. But I like these events. The totality of the event. :p

Their entire system to acquire Ascended gear is beyond kittened to me. There is nothing wrong with giving multiple options to acquire the items, but for some reason some dimwit Devs at Anet thought

Its actually worse than that because they initially said we were going to have multiple ways to get ascended items. It then took months to even get the partial alternate in the WvW vendors. And backpieces are still only available by doing fractals apart from 1 which has a highly specific set of stats.

At least we see progress, eh? I predict in the future, we will have more ways to get ascended stuff.

All I was arguing for in that other thread was alternatives to the dailies, or giving extra daily options that reward you for more than just open world PvE and occasionally for dungeons/fractals.

What would you have that would’ve been rewarded then? What other content is there in PvE other than wvw, open world and dungeon/fractals? Seems like you want to be rewarded just for logging on -.-

Hello all,

I played at launch, leveled a thief to 80, and played in WvW for about 2 months. Through that time, I learned that WvW was just a zerg fest, running from door to door. Extremely boring.

I really want this game to be good. The world is great, the game looks beautiful, but I don’t want to reinstall and get instantly bored because it is exactly the same as it was at launch.

Are there any changes that would bring me and others back?
Is WvW any better? Or is it still boring? I used to play DAoC, and it was great fun – GW2 did not feel like DAoC at all unfortunately.

Thank you for any feedback.

wvw is hardly boring. Well maybe boring if the matchups are drastically skewed. But that’s to be expected with the new matching system. Hopefully it’ll balance out soon enough.

Why do people stop playing GW2?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

penatbater.4710

I’d say the biggest reason I’m leaving GW2 is because of the broken promises that were made by ANet. You can say I misunderstood what they said when they announced GW2, but in my opinion they didn’t deliver on what they said. I took them to mean we would basically get GW1 but with an updated story and an open world. We got none of that. I gave Anet the benefit of the doubt for the past 10 months but with no real changes or challenges coming I’d rather go play a different game than sit in LA spamming LFG or logging in for an hr a day to blow through the dailies.

Can I have your stuff then?

Let me ask you. If you have one hour per day to play, will you go to whatever location required and get the dailies, or will you choose to do go play a dungeon which isn’t listed that day with your friends?

I would do what I wanted to do on that day. Then, 10min before time is up, I check my daily progression. If it seems I only need to do a few more stuff (crafting, underwater killer, a bunch of events @ certain locations, etc), I will use that remaining 10min to finish my daily. If it turns out I’m only 1/5 and the rest are a bit tedious, I’ll skip the daily for that day.

My happiness > daily.

Because that’s not true anymore. Remember, max gear is the ascended tier now.

Ascended gear is also only worth taking for one specific type of content. Completely optional content I might add. You only get ascended gear from Fractals, and you only need ascended gear for Fractals.

Oh, please.
“It means that you can get to max level and max gear in a variety of ways”. “No, ascended is not max gear, exotic is. Oh, you say ascended is actually better? Doesn’t matter, it’s optional”.

That is hypocritical.

you CAN get to ascended gear by at least 2-3 ways.

1.1 Do fractals for a chance for ring drop
1.2 Do fractals for pristine relic
2. Buy them using Laurels (rings, amulet, earrings)
3.1 Use a mixture of laurels and wvw tokens to buy them
3.2 Get a chance for them with the wxp chests.
4. Do guild missions for guild commendations for the earrings.

At least 4 different ways. That’s certainly variety in my book.

PvE: Is Toughness and Vitality pointless?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: penatbater.4710

I’d rather they introduce a mechanic that better rewards survivability builds than just the dmg ones. For example, they could have a boss do a move that is an pbaoe 1-hit KO regardless of dodging unless you pass a certain tough/vit combo treshold, or if you have the protection/regen/vigor buff at moment of impact. This encourages the idea of a support or a balanced team, while giving all-dps teams a bigger challenge (i.e. it then becomes easier for a balanced team to finish it than an all-dps team).

This is DR. I remember getting less karma during the Plinx karma farm train back in the day. What I don’t know is, if this DR is related to loot DR.

@OP
How many events have you done before doing this event? From what I remember, doing quite a number of events in such a short time can trigger this DE DR. However, during the time I was karma farming Plinx, loot was so hard to come by due to the sheer number of people so I really can’t say for sure if there is a relationship between loot DR and DE DR.
