Hard core players can spend hard core money they earned with hard core farming to craft-lvl hard core alts.

fractals doesn’t give gold, silly. also farming wasn’t, isn’t and never will be hardcore.

there is a lack of ways for hardcore players to level fast/alt.

btw nice to see one of my suggestions implemented.

we already have a time machine and it’s called fractals of the mists.

Actually it’s the point of the thread.

At least know what the hell you’re on about if you’re going to be arrogant.

having exotic armor over white is optional too

Of course not. Seeing people get hacked with swords, axes and daggers, being set on fire and smashed with hammers… that’s fine. It’s the blood that causes the emotional trauma. Really. Lesson learned kids: You can shoot someone in real life, just avoid the blood!

I’ll never forget that one idiot a few years ago, asking for a “no blood” mod for CS so he could play it with his 9 year old girl at peace. Stabbing and shooting daddy in the face is just dandy, just no blood! God forbid we realize that the perfectly ordinary liquid that keeps up alive is bound to spill from our bodies if we puncture them.

I wonder what kind of hysterics do some people go through whenever they get a tiny cut that bleeds a bit.

Yet limbs dont get severed, skulls don’t smashed in, no big spurting blood pools everywhere you see. Its just not realistic enough. Some kids might imagine that Greatswords shoot lasers in real life. Think of the children. Dont let them turn into pansies who will faint at the sight of a RL maiming/torture/murder.

quality posts. trying to “protect” your kids(a better expression would be “keep ignorant of”) from the world around them is only gonna make them stupid

also people are way too weak nowadays, let them see blood every once in a while shall we?

Wethospu.6437:

We will try to skip whole phase 3 today.

omgggg i had that same idea :’(

inb4 33s speedkill

glgl

can we get a system where if I swap 2handed for 1handed, the extra weapon that I swapped out doesn’t get placed at the front of the inventory but rather as close as possible to the 1st one i swapped out?

Loading.4503:

Think of it this way, the baseline is when you don’t have any buffs at all, you do better in wvw, you profit more. It’s not that it’s getting harder, it’s just gettin easier the better to do

we should not have cyclical buffs period.

ps the game is easy enough as is.

Loading.4503:

You can just get nothing at all? How bout just appreciate that there’s any bonus

why should i appreciate content being easier sometimes than others?XD

gw2 is badly optimized, nothing to see here.

this is not a very good system imo. some weeks you get opponents 10 ranks below you and enjoy strong buffs. some weeks the reverse happens and you get almost nothing. every single time you’re much weaker on friday evenings than friday mornings.

maybe incentivizing being on top of the ladder more should be the way to go.(would require additional tweaks however)

lowering the effects might also help.

discuss.

Gaile ftw

this is not an account issue why move it…………………….

this is a children’s game

You did a scumbag move. Take solace in the fact, though, that most human beings are also scumbags and so at least you have company.

Now scurry off, and figure out a way to skip ahead of old ladies while in line for a cashier or something. I’m sure there is a unicef donation box you could steal while you’re at it, too.

can this blatantly offensive post get removed? I get 2week bans for similar things

Please don’t. The scumbag move was not telling anyone, waiting until the end of the fractal and being like SEEYA. Once you start a run you want it to go smoothly, not to take breaks and post on gw2lfg.

yes it is the end of the world.

now read his second paragraph again.

Xehanort.4589:

I know i didn’t tell them i would leave after i get my daily, but reporting me just because i don’t have enough time to complete all the 3 fractals is a bit eccessive.

They told me i’m an idiot, why i ask myself, i’m just playing as i want and at the moment i was just completing dailies and the daily does not force me to complete all 3 fractals.

You were being selfish and rude to the others, getting your gain at their expense.

I don’t think what you did is considered an offense under the ToS, but I would have reported you as well just in the hope that it was.

If that was a bannable offense, about 80% of the GW2 community would be perma-banned. Honestly, I hope the people that reported YOU would get banned for abusing the report feature. Sure, what you did was a kitten move, but you didn’t grief them, you didn’t do anything whatsoever that warrants a ban.

Please teach us!

? you avoid misclicking. I never do it, just saiyan. also you uploaded the vid so I’m a little baffled by this post

if I absolutely and positively HAD to get one as in I’m lvl 10 fotm(for argument’s sake) and I get a celestial ring dropped I would probably use that over zerker exotics on my ele and my ele only.

ilr.9675:

…several people have complained of this in the Dungeon forum as well.
(without naming the guilds doing it unfortunately).

What I find more interesting is that they also seem to be ignoring Exploit reports :p
IIRC, they actually used to be interested in those back in Gw1.

What’s changed? Do they just have too much content in the oven all the time to care about what’s already released and being played??

we can’t name the guilds or we get da banhammer.

Because Strife is the only member of DnT.

ah, some competition for DnT! splendid!

I know of a guild which repeatedly gets 3 pugs off gw2lfg, go through fotm 48, kick at maw for guildies and they rotate this so they can reduce time spent in fotm by half. 1st thing is people lose their chat logs(which is completely stupid..) but even if they know names and report, nothing’s going to happen and I see them on every day because anet doesn’t care about reports.

what’s the deal?

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I think it’s a rubbish thing to do. The Fractals aren’t even that long anyway. If you’re not going to be on board for the whole ride, just don’t join at all. If you know your group is trying to do the whole thing, and you know they aren’t aware that you only want the daily… then yeah, they are right to be angry with you. It’s not a bannable offense of course, and not something I think you can get reported for. But it is just bad form, and I think you do owe them an apology for acting so selfishly.

no it isn’t. is this real life? ………….

ah, some competition for strife! splendid!

I was thinking it could have a lower cooldown(~5s) and all effects removed. would basically allow you to shout SAVE YOURSELVES on demand.

also a hold the line sound fix wood be nice

Erasculio.2914:

pullnointer.1476:

they get unique voiceover when swapping attunements

Necromancers get unique dialogue when summoning (or losing) minions, warriors get unique dialogue when adrenaline rises, rangers get unique dialogues when the pet dies and when it revives, and so on. It’s not exclusive to elementalists.

aware, they are just not as prominent as eles.

guards don’t have any for example other than the 3 shouts they got(and hold the line which is weird)

:D strong considering dungeoning/fotming gives no achievements points.

They directly and indirectly give you some. IE Fractal frequenter and explorer stuff

yea and I’m still sitting at 3.1k with 283 fractals and like a 100 dungeon paths done

ColinJohanson.2394:

Healix.5819:

There are/were plans (announced back in January) to add additional rewards to achievements and rewards based on total points. Since recent achievements rewards items, maybe that’s as far as they’re going to take it now.

We’re still working on a system that rewards bonuses and rewards for achieving various thresholds of achievement points on your account. More news on this soon!

can you pls fix how they are awarded first?

treborIRL.4521:

i know dungeon/speed clear groups who wont take anyone if you don’t have over a certain amount of points.

There are probably far better ‘OP combination’ examples of why swap cooldowns exist, however you get the general idea. That is, there are most likely a lot of balance issues solved by having it there.

“probably” and “most likely” doesn’t cut it when it comes to balance

Theyre not going to remove it no matter how much you complain, if you cant see the kitten that would happen if they removed weapon cooldowns then you must be playing 1 class.

again, no real arguments put forth, just bashing.

Sutcliffe.5491:

For example on my warrior with fast hands trait, I think it is quite overpowered for me to be able to use all my burst skills on my greatsword(hundred blades+third skill) then swap to the axe for the best autoattack skill for warrior every 5 seconds. Imagine if u can do that on every class -_-. The greatsword autoattack is weaker as compared to axe to compensate for the fact that gs weapon skill 2-5 are more damaging than axe weapon skill 2-5, hence u are supposed to be stuck with a weaker autoattack by choosing to swap to gs for 100 blades. But fast hands circumvent this limitation, and hence allowing my warrior to use the best of both weapons.

bad weapon balance. you can’t fall back to that when making decisions about things like this.

tigirius.9014:

or how about kit swaps. I’d love to have something to say when I’m throwing on my bomb kit like “they’re really kittened now!” LOL

schuur
better than toolbelt

“high explosives”, “let’s blow something up”, “lighting the fuse”

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

omg these posts are so funny

Korrigan.4837:

There’s no gear locking in the game right now. You don’t need agony resistance to experience the fractals, to see the content and to complete it. You can even do rank 10+ fractals without any agony resistance, and have a chance to get some ascended gear.

As long as it remains that way, I’m fine with it. The day they add a dungeon where you need specific gear to even be able to have a chance to see it, my monetary contribution to this game and ANet will stop immediately.

ah, to see the content

pullnointer.1476:

get him on dungeons again, we haven’t had a single dungeon change since ac

The change to AC didn’t really improve it. The Graveling Scavengers, for example, went from being an example of how to counter a foe using skills available to each profession, to being a high defense/low damage enemy relying on an uncounterable mechanic to be an annoyiance, not something fun to kill.

dunno, I haven’t run ac before the patch. however the fact that we get nothing atm because noone is working on dungeons is infinitely more depressing

Kadub.8743:

In other words high crit specs are bothered very little by weakness

not anymore. also not like conditions exist in pve LOL

rather, higher (83/84) level mobs can be glanced, and you can find them in fractals

ok nobody got it, so I’m awaring you. this is just another thread pointing to just another reason why zerk gear is dominating pve.

Khisanth.2948:

killcannon.2576:

Molten Facility good. Subdirector Null bad.

Get rid of arbitrary insta death mechanics, get rid of gimmicks (anything where I have to switch out my weapon for an environmental weapon, or have to use switches and other bullkitten), get rid or arbitrary traps (lasers, rocks, ceiling/floor traps), unleash trash mobs- no more running past anything.

Anyway, it’s obvious the senior developers are working on something else. Whether that is an expansion, some mind blowing (or not) new content, or a totally different game is anyone’s guess.

they are working on living story. all of them. i know for a fact that Robert does too

pullnointer.1476:

devs? what is the point of this with individual skills having cooldowns? it just locks me into rotations and encourages spamming.. maybe something friendlier – 4 seconds – I could understand

If there wasn’t weapon swap cooldown, they could have just gave you 10 weapon skills on a 15 slots long skillbar. You are supposed to swap weapons both strategically and tactically, but you are not supposed to swap spam.
Also remember, that the ele equivalent is the attunement swap. Do you really want eles to be able to swap attunements without any significant cooldown?

This is the only logical statement in this thread, I’m honestly baffled by what I’ve read.

Of course weapon swapping needs a cooldown – saying weapon swapping shouldn’t have cooldowns is like saying no skill should have cooldowns, or that you should be able to dual wield a greatsword or some other sort of absurd equivalent ideas.

Cooldown on weapon swap exists for balancing, limiting your spamming ability – not encouraging it and so on.

what the kitten can’t you spam now that you could spam with no swap cd? lol @ saying that this is equivalent to no skill cooldowns

also yeah, I may be able to find a team if I’m a lowbie 35 trying to AC(even tho it might take longer) except fractals(with l80) with my chitty ar on alts(not that it would matter. I’m lvl1 fotm on alts. which is another problem.) but contributing significantly less to the team feels like chit.

right. I’m going to go around in green gear in arah.

also my post applies to leveling as well. it takes the same amount of time to level if you suck at this game as it does when you’re strife. it’s a huge waste of time tbh
