DR... can we have a clear explanation

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

There will never be a clear explanation of DR because that defeats the purpose of DR. The idea is that if people knew exactly what DR is they could program bots to get around it.

I don’t believe it’s supposed to affect chests, but it could be bugged. Would take a lot of data to suggest it though.

never thought of that thanks for that response

i have to say i love commenting on how the game should go its my game i still play got 18 chars 10 level 10 two i made last week and yes i complain. ive been loyal and i actively post negatively but there are thing i do comment when i liked them. i personally think the game is headed in a better spot did feel the game was released too quick. ran 6 of 8 of my level 80s through the last chapter of ls had to logout anf finish most of them s a day or two later due to bugs. i felt i had a right to complain about the bugs didnt have that problem in the last few chapters didnt think thet last chapter was worse just more bugy. i dont want mount i dont want open world dueling although i support a arena for that for those who want it. i understand what they say when they talk about endgame i get it. i prefer to unlock armor skins instead of gear gating so that i can choose what i wish to unlock..if i dont like the looks of it i dont want it.. to tell the truth i dont know how many hours i logged in im at work and cant play games but allowed to forum look. i dont like all of the directions goes at times. i think anet could concentrate less on the store and more on content.. ill play til either i find another game that i like better and graphics are big to me so thats why i havent found one yet. i feel i have right to complain about mypastry if it undercooked using your metaphor not up to par with what they could do and should do.. thats how i feel but ill be playing when i get home tonight op

no op i disagree with taking away names i delete and rename a char every now and then and i have no problem with naming the new one you just need. named two new chars last week got sick of the old chars and there names. it isnt that hard to come up with a good name.

Rytlock opens UW up again(spoilers)

I don’t see why people are so fussed about raids… this is GW2 – we have no trinity. All it’ll be is a group of 10 – 20 meta dps builds zerging stuff and abusing the fight mechanics to make it easier.

For one you assume to much, you act as if Anet has no ability to make it awesome. Also there is a large group of people who would love this. Just cause there is no trinity does not mean it can’t work. I know a quite a few people that think this is one thing that the smaller guilds need, as a 10 man raid could be done and maybe a 20 man if the guild pulls a few friends into the run. Heck add guild commendations as part of the reward and limit it to once per week.

Also when they introduce Legendary Armor, Trinkets, and Back Pieces this could provide a new tier of high quality materials, that will be needed to make said such pieces.

i kind of agree with him until they can define some type of roles in the combat itll be one just zerg fest

Surprised nobody mentioned the fact that he’s in the wrong place to lift the curse. It states it has to be lifted in Ascalon City. You would think the best place to lift the curse would be the place where the curse was first cast since that would be the strongest spot.

i was thinking that same thing

Why did you change it back?

in Living World

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

Seriously, y u play on patchday? When EVERYONE else is too, what do you expect happening on those areas?
I dare you to replay these missions and events after two weeks, and then after two months and then come back and tell me if you see any of your zerg fests

i like to se new content when it comes i know there will be bugs just didnt expect so many as yesterday but they dont bother me. i dont have no problem on anet working in world events into the ls gives them more meaning to me and plus maybe i can complete some hearts on alts that i dont have already. anet still needs to work out the bugs with world event and ls and new stuff in open world

Great Episode!!

in Living World

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

only complaints was how buggy it was. much like the karka event real world stuff in ls is still a problem but i like the story and hope they fix the bugs(thinking maybe not having so much in one area might have helped) so a smoother transition next time. i like how they tied real world events into it. id say a 9 out of 10 for the patch minus one for all the bugs that had me take 10 hours to complete it. instead of 2 that it should but hey on a backup character i did do a few hearts in the area so that made up for the wait i guess

Scarlet Saves LA

ricky markham.8173

So the reason she saved Lion’s Arch is because she destroyed it before someone else did?

I guess that’s how criminals reason…‘I saved the person from being robbed because I took all the valuables from their house!’

and burnt it to the ground so no one could rob it

The only thing I am sure we will get is massive amounts of complaints about whatever GIFT we are given.

one good thing im expecting garbage so if i get better ill be happy. thats what i started doing for ls this year and im happy with what ive gotten

You play something you feel is treating you like garbage? Or you just fling garbage and yell that it stinks?

to tell the truth the first bday gift was garbage all im stating i dont care about bday gifts like i did in gw1 loved the bday gifts in it.in gw1 ieach year i got excited about the bday coming up which im not doing in gw2 so im expecting year 2 to be garbage and if it isnt and ill be happy if its not garbage but if it is i dont care anymore . they might as well quit giving out the garbage.

truthfully after last year i dont really care but something along the line of black lion weapon ticket would be best in my book. 20 skill point thingy instead of the up to level 20 one we got last year i still got those. no minis if we get the same one with each gift. i havent used the birthday boosters yet but i think most people did so if we got those again that would be alright. last year i was so excited for the b-day gifts this year i dont care if we get them or not

Dry Top chests and keys

in Living World

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

I enjoy the Lockpick/Buried Chest mechanic. They are easy to find, and who doesn’t like opening chests?! Lol.

its not the opening thing its the more that they could introduce a key chest thing in more areas that i dont like. i dont want to have to carry a bunch of keys around on my chars when im in certain areas or have to go to storage to change what keys i have when i want to go to another area. that happened in gw1 and we complained so they made lockpicks but seeing that a conveince i could see that as a gem thing

yeah i dont specific area chests in gw1 they tried that then had to introduce lockpicks cause you had to have so many different keys if you wanted to open chests. i hate the dry top chests too i got soo many keys now but only found two chests so far the sandstorm ends then i have to wait so long again to look again

New Zone!

in Living World

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

Are they planning on releasing Dry Top in chunks? Right now we have one area that’s not even square shaped. Not to mention the map name is not centered on this area, so I’m assuming that’s the plan. New area next patch?

I’ve also noticed that the area we do have is pretty big. Is that also part of the plan for new zones? Fewer number of individual areas, but bigger in size for each? Sounds fine to me.

thinking the same thing and the map looks like it connects to another zone too so we might see that in the season too. im thinking in a couple of weeks we get more dry top maybe more in a few after that so on til we finish dry top then we get lead to another zone. might be one of those areas will contain a new dungeon which would be cool

Things done right in this release.

only thing i didnt like was the jump puzzle im not good at then(but others love them its just me) and tend to not do them but i got by them with a little patience. i did like the story like the new map although small it looks like it gets bigger maybe next chapter also looks like it heads to anew zone afterwards so promise there. it is more then i expected in the first chapter. i give it a 8 out of 10. 3 points off for the jumping i had to do.

Dry Tops: Expanding or New Zones?

Posted by: ricky markham.8173

ricky markham.8173

looks like dry top is bigger then what we got but it looks like to me that it leads to another zone on the outside. im thinking each ls part will take us farther out and farther out til we finish a new zone maybe a revamping along the way and then a new zone after that

maybe we need to do a collaborative development about communicating. im sorry wasnt that supposed to solve some of the problem with communicating wait they dropped that altogether. thats why i didnt participate in those discussion i knew it was going to happen.yes a lot of good might have come out of what was done. . the collaborative development could have been a good thing throughout the game and really what i think a lot of players want but unless anet begins to release they need to communicate more and bring in people specific for that. i applaud the few who tried to do that but they were working on there own time and probably overstressed themselves which is probably why it isnt being done anymore. id love to see more communication between us and anet but i doubt we will see that
