Is Leaving Events Early An Exploit?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: raxx.8914

raxx.8914

The events only need you to kill 3 mobs for gold. They really need a platinum ranking to encourage ppl, maybe even ranks 1 2 and 3 get the best loot. They did this is a couple of other games. Just don’t have a meter that shows your progress and who’s winning, people tend to find abilities that are weighted too high.

It’s down on ET right now if you wanna swap and get your stuff, if only someone would kill lyssa.
When i got to level 75 and went to orr, I quested in the first two zones for a little but then i ran straight passed the first two into the 3rd, because the first two were empty when i was playing and no one else was at any of the events i checked on. It was my first time in orr too, i didn’t play beta or read anything about it.
They should combine the chat of all 3 zones and make teleporting within orr free to try and improve it, Also probably make the entire place level 80.

Karma DR - Hitting it if I do 1 event every 15 minutes

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: raxx.8914

raxx.8914

The reason is, if you do the same event twice in a row you get less reward, you can change chars to an alt and do an event on it to avoid the DR, The reason shelter is so good is because of the 4 spawns, you have 50 ppl spread over 4 spawns instead of 50 ppl attacking 1 spawn, with my 200+ ping from aus i can’t get many tags in the 50 ppl events but i get lots at the shelter. There’s no where else like the shelter either.
They need to look into it, events with 50 ppl vs 8 noob mobs don’t work, if 50 ppl are in the area when they spawn, they should spawn as veterans. More level 80 zones would help too.

I have been reporting the same 5 botters now for over a week, they have been running around in a circle out the front of shelter the whole time, I have a fraps of it, i can’t believe they have not banned them yet, i have lost a lot of faith in this company as it’s some of the most blatant boting you will see in a game.

The melee in WvW is bad, if you are with a zerg and get picked off without them killing him and ressing you, well that is sad, you know you can res even after downed state which is weird. If thiefs don’t have the best burst in the game then they are just kitten warriors. thief ranged is useless.
They need to give melee anti aoe and group target or massive damage.

Bosses and chests need to give better rewards.

The legandarys are too expensive and thief has too many wep choices to bother i have no desire to get them.
The exotic armors all have bad stats, none of them suit a thief, the only decent one is power vitality and toughness, i’m about to buy 3 pieces even tho i prolly won’t use them as i have a magic find set i like, but i have nothing to spend the karma on and they might be ok for WvW.

Nope, they are too rare and cause legendary exotic requirements to be too high, the more exotics in circulation, the cheaper they will get and the more attempts in the forge ppl can have. Simple fix to the problem.

Yup, i put 1000’s of dyes into the forge and normally get a good amount of yellow from blue and a nice amount of green. This time i got a nice amount of green and zero yellows. So i brought a couple for thousand to test again and still none.

Official Response: Drop Rate of Legendary Precursors

in Crafting

Posted by: raxx.8914

raxx.8914

The game does have the rating of gambling, this is why i think? it’s fine the way it is, however if they want to reduce the price of legendary pre’s then all they need to do is increase the drop rate of exotics or rares. The more exotics and rares in circulation the cheaper they will get and the more chances people have in the forge.

The recipe idea is silly, it’d drive the resource prices through the roof and it’d cost a lot more.

Totally pointless on this race, i can’t even see them half the time. I have one and the cosmetics are pointless unless you zoom all the way in, the dyes work ok to color them but any armor details are lost.

Also the art looks no difference and who cares anyway when you can’t see the art, the game looks great with 90 fov. I didn’t know the auction house was on a ship till i saw it with 90 fov. it was like playing a whole new game.

They don’t care that you can run it, they care about losing their min spec people. Why FOV can’t be a slider I don’t know.

Post based on working with companies that care about altering software based around min spec users.

They can do it, there’s a mod that lets you change your fov on the fly, it doesn’t affect frame rate much and it makes the game look so good, you can actually see things and no friggin eye strain or bad feelings. The mod was broken in todays patch, i played for awhile and now i feel like crap.

Did the dev really say HL2 uses 75 fov as an excuse? There were so many people having issues with that game due to 75 fov it’s not even funny. The game allowed you to change fov tho, like all good games. 75 fov is for consoles, 90 for pc, these devs….

There’s no real point to thief in this game, warrior does everything better and can take hits. Most mmo devs fail to balance rogue vs warrior, a few have done it well tho, this game not so. The class has no direction at all.
They spent a few years designing the pvp system and then nerf it very quickly based on whines, they have no confidence in their creation and admit to their failure quite fast.

Economy? What Economy?

1 gold for $1 isn’t such a big deal. If it was 10 gold for $1, that would be a huge problem.

It goes to show how far ahead the farmers are in comparison with the overall economy. If you brought $50 worth of gems you would only get 14 gold if you converted it. If you spent $50 at a gold seller, you would get 50 gold. That is a huge difference.

This game has started to go rotten, i don’t care much for it anymore. The bots won this mmo thanks to the makers adding so much stuff to stop them that it stuffs up players and does nothing to hinder the bots who teleport anyway.

lol there has been 5 bots perfectly scripted running the exact same path which is impossible for humans to do, they have been there for 6 straight days ( i have a fraps from then) and it’s a very popular bot spot shelter’s gate. you’d think the gm’s would you know get rid of them considering the amount of reports they have had.
BTW according to gold selling spam, 1 gold = $1, the botters have already taken over the market. The anti bot code fooks over legit players, bots farm 24/7 so code or no code they get more, why do we hit the bot code in 15minutes with magic find at 200%? This game is fast becoming a massive joke.

Honestly, how in the world is anyone supposed to know that it’s working incorrectly!? Where are people even discovering HOW to make this items via in game methods? I would really like to know. Supposedly there is information about legendaries and there recipes hidden somewhere in game? Show me lol

I still don’t get it either, you put items in and get some out, how are you meant to know if it’s working or not unless they bring out an official list of forge recipe’s, dusk now cost 200g, the guy with 15 has 3k gold now, dusk use to be 70g, so all this change did was make dusk and dawn so rare that only the super rich and lucky can get them.

If there was an official list of recipe’s and the low level rare’s were on it, the cost to make them would have gone up as the components would be in demand. I think this is the whole problem with this game, they keep everything a secret and only the beta testers and friends of employee’s get the info.

They need to inflate the economy, fire the current economist as he clearly failed, the crafting in this game is worthless and most the items are becoming such too.

Oh and btw i don’t care about legendary’s and have no desire to get one, i play in low graphics mode anyway as the spell effects hurt my eyes. I would buy town clothes if they could be used in pve tho.

The town clothes items in this game are lame compared to lotro, in lotro you could use them in pve and dungeons but were disabled for pvp.
I brought a few items from them, no desire to buy any of yours and i have not seen anyone with them either. Lotro makes heaps from there store as it’s a really good store.

Look at dota 2 it is a massive game, it’s free to play and will be payed for entirely from cosmetic items(mainly from chest keys), people like there cosmetic items, but you have to let us actually use them.

LOL at the response, i hit the anti bot code in 5 minutes with a store brought magic find and 200 magic find, 5 minutes of items dropping and then i killed 40 mobs for 2 drops. I logged out and played my other char came back and killed another 40 for 3 drops.

The bots have ruined this game without even selling the gold, just all the anti bot crap is effecting players and not actual bots.
Real players kill stuff fast as they use aoe and attack multiple mobs, bots kill things slow, so the anti bot code only effects real players.

The fresh 80’s get screwed even more everything has been nerfed to the point they are miles behind. The whole economy needs a do over, inflate everything in small expansion.

Oh btw i went back to the bot bridge and didn’t see any bots there, that was a good change, make the harder events give better rewards and no DR on anything.

No world PVP is also contributing to the botting BTW, you don’t see them in the wvw botting.

which is what the DR system is in place for.

Do you think the farmers are morons or something? they are always the ones who find exploits etc always find the best places to farm, they have worked around the code and it only effects legit players.
They also use teleport hacks(they need to work out how to stop that exploit) so DR does not effect bots, also they slow farm most areas, the ppl who kill lots fast are ppl actually playing the game.

This game has so much anti bot stuff that only effects real players, The bots run around in the same pattern for 3 straight days and they do nothing to ban them.
The farmers use teleport hacks so the anti bot code doesn’t work.
The only thing the anti bot stuff does is ruin the game for legit players with 200% magic find you hit the limit in 5 minutes, yeh that’s cool……

I think when players get 25 reports they should be banned for 1 day and then they review them quickitteno make sure they are botting. If players abused the report function all those players get a 3 day ban. Also if you do it, don’t announce it publicly just encourage people to report.

The game is very melee unfriendly in wvw as a thief i gave up as it’s boring compared to spvp. I think they need to try hard to split the zerg like in dota, sure it ends up 5v5 but you must be split at most times.
They need melee to take less dmg per person targeting them. I don’t remember what game had it, but they had anti train code and it meant the bad side of pvp was removed.
