ive often imagined the dragons to be in a sort of power struggle with each other with no dragon ever being able ot gain an edge over the others or even confornting each other because perhaps this has happened many times over tyria’s history and the outcome was always the same inevitable draw or even if one dragon fought another dragon it could be an opportunity for another 3rd elder dragon to take advantage of the situation its the classic Mexican stand off
of course its all just conjecture at this point no one knows if the dragons have ever fought each other in the past we scarcely know anything about there previous feeding cycles on tyria
Ive been messing about over the last few days and managed to get all achievements and put in a decent amount of time in this area got around 500 odd geodes
in that time i have never seen this Favor of the Zephyrites reach lvl 3 never mind lvl 4
has anyone seen it progress to lvl 4 ? is there even enough events in the zone for it in the time frame given ?
cant help think that this is a poor reward structure sine after a few more days this zone will be dead for the most part there will never ever be enough traffic going through this zone to get lvl 3-4 witch essentially puts most of those rewards out of reach for almost everyone.
it seems likely that this is indeed Mordermoth not necessarily his tail but i imagine Mordermoth is a plant like dragon with roots that have been spreading all over Maguma for a long time now, and the purple glow i believe is a consequence of scarlet redirecting the ley lines to somehow feed Mordermoth to create in imbalance in the natural order of things that will ultimately end the cycle of how the dragons seem to feed and rest
ask yourself this how will the other dragons react to Mordermoth becoming more powerful them them
could this possibly result in a war between the dragons ?
i cant really get over how all these pepole are saying how theres nothing to complain about and how we will still have 2 legenderies that can change stats
really ?
come on guys dont be stupid you know fine well the cost of a legendery is not worth simply being able to change stats
if there was a way to upgrade your current weapon at the same cost as a legendery you would laugh at the idea and tell Anet to keep there upgrade
no one is ever gona pay 2,5k or whatever the cost of a legendery is these days simply to change stats
this comeing patch belittles my hard work by allowing everyone who made one incinerator to appear to dual weild them where unlike me they did not earn this right and i have
i made my second incinerator long before ascended weapons came out and the ablity to change its stats i done it for the apearance not for the stats but i might as well not have botherd coz now my acomplishment means nothing after this patch unless Anet do something but since all we are geting is silence from them it dosent look very promiseing
be nice if they somehow allowed us to trade it for a diff legendery or something along those lines tho i highly doubt they will since its opening the door for other players to trade there legenderys in for a swap to something more currenty sought after by them i.e my ele has bifrost and i dont play him anymore but i want bolt for my war who i do play
mebey if in order to enable the swap you had to place 2 proper legenderys in the trade window lose one get the other back and a choice of diff legendery weapon might work i still highly doubt they will do it but it would be nice
im personaly pretty annoyed at this decision since i have 2 proper incinerators i cant help but feel like this decision is is defaceing the value of my true legenderys that i worked kitten hard to get anyone know if there has been mention from Anet reguarding compensation for players like myself
i have no doubt theres lots of complains but id be interested to hear what Anet has to say about it
i think the marionette is fine as is slight prob with numbers on the platforms being balanced but overall we win this event on piken more than we fail
the real problem is the 3 headed wurm ask your guild how many have managed to kill it so far and im sure you will find that at least 90% of most guilds are strugleing with 2 heads nm 3 on full overflows
amber is by far the worst i find this is the one where luck is more than just a small factor but quite a huge factor when trying to get swallowed by the wurm and those husks are just knocking you around silly while you try and hold your position and hope you get eaten before you go down or you just get knocked away and dont get eaten at all
the other 2 heads are fine tweak amber some so we either have less husks or less knockback and this will greatly increase everyones chances of actualy finishing the event
as it stands i have my acheivments for this event and wont be wasteing anymore time on it till the sucsess rate is improved drasticly coz its all just one big time sink of failure atm all time i could be spending doing something productive and rewarding
if every server cant do it then its wasted content in my opinion just like tequatal Anet like to make the game acsesable to everyone old and new players content like this strictly for the eliteist players is stupid
sure ive done things like tequatal and the 3 headed wurm but there just way too much effort involved and by the time the next new content comes out no one will give a kitten about it and thats the real shame its all a big waste of content
on the other hand if they made it easyer so we all could do it then it might stand a chance of still being an active event ocasionaly on all servers as it stands no one will be doing this next month except the try hards
i hate this event and any event like it requireing large scale cordination from a bunch of strangers most of whom arent on a high enough skill lvl and just kill any chance of sucsess
you guys should have learned we dont like this kinda content from tequatal but no you go an ram another overly complex mob down our throats and waste developer time on what might as well have just been a temp world mob
coz ive allready lost interest in it and see it as nothing but a big waste of time due to all the failed atempts ive been on that just amount to wasted time that could have been better spent doing something thats actualy productive
to make it clearer here is how the urban dictionary defines p2w
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pay-to-win
//Quote.. Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying.
me i belive there are lots of minor elements in the game that are pay to win in PVE many would disagree that because its not vs a player its not p2w but thats just dumb
but an advantage bit in pve or pvp is still an advantage i.e boosters being one of the more notable advantages you can buy
and to clarify why i see it this way here is a good example
i have this friend who plays who is very sucsessfull in life and is prety well off money wise and when he plays he buys 250 black lion keys at a time and runs around in pve with every single booster buff going on him 24/7 includeing all combat boosters (witch i see as his bigest advantage gameplay wise) so hes got an extra 5% dmg boost 5% less dmg taken and a perma regen to his health not to mention all the other smaller less noteable boosters
do you not think he has an edge on other players when it comes to doing game content when he hits harder than you takes less dmg than you and just generaly survives better than you in combat situations ?
and thats just one side of it theres allso the time saved by buying stuff via gem store for rl cash in most cases its cosmetic and has no impact on game play and im fine with that its how the gem store should be used
but i recently started a thread on the forums reguarding the method used to remove infusions and how i belive it to be p2w because those who remove there infusions to continue the upgrade process are esentialy cuting there upgrade time in half
if you read the definition of p2w i linked it falls under the catagory of geting better quality items at a faster rate than others
you dont win in GW2 its a never ending adventure but for me i see progress as wining in gw2 and those that pay and save time grinding are progressing freely while you grind
if it was only optional cosmetics like armour skins i wouldent care. if you wana grind for that skin thats your choice and itl have no effect on gameplay what so ever. but its not that black and white with certain other items
so yes gw2 certainly dose have p2w elements in my opinion
on a side note how awsome would it be to have a set of legendery armour similar to how a legendery works now with the ablity to change stats outa combat
some would argue its too O.P
coulda swore they said we where geting them this year i belive the info i was reading was all about stuff they had planed for 2013 i cant remeber the exact wording but they mentioned new legendery skins and stuff words to that efect witch got me excited coz i was hopeing legendery armour
thinking what else could they posibly make legendery other than weapons and armour jewelery hell no it wouldent show
back item again no this slot skin seems reserved for seasonal liveing story skins
firned mentioned ascended jewel crafting was gona allow us to craft legendery gems for our upgrade slot haveing problems beliveing this
but anyway sure dosent like like they managed to meet there deadline i got my fingers crossed for legendery armour in 2014
whose gona like the idea of a skin that dosent match our t3 armour tho and totaly throws of the look you have created
id love to see the concept implimented somehow its an effect i would love to have and would go out my way to get
no so sure a skin is the way to go tho
from what i have read first to reach a lvl in fractal will have the highest rank on the leaderboard i.e i reach lvl 100 first my name is top of the leaderboard anyone who subesquently reaches 100 after me will be placed second and so on so in a sence there is a degree of competition as far as that leaderboard is concerned (only realy glory hunter) but again i couldent care less if im first and not even trying to
its buy them or fall behind
fall behind who/what? who are you racing and what are you racing them to?
not that i care about it but you do know they are releaseing a fractals leaderboard many will want there name on that
for me my goal is simply to push myselff to the limit that fractals will allow for greater chalange and keep up with my friends who will allso be doing the same
thanks for confirming that wetpaw i think the prob was that those are not the new infusions that i think dulfy was reffering to like i supsected
but given the new option of upgrade extractor the previouse method (if it ever worked) is now redundent
well good for you im in a similar position i spend 80% of my income on useless mini pets to feed my ocd the rest i salt away while slowly working on legenderys at a very casual pace working on my 6th now
i have next to no demands on my gold and every gem i have bought with game gold til now has as far as ive felt been totaly optional
i dont grind either and a make enough to feed my mini pet habbit
you may be willing to sit the fractals out me i dont i wana enjoy all aspects of the game and not progressing in fractals would feel like a cop out to me
what i realy wish you could understand that out of everything i have ever bought via the gem store up till now i have felt has been 100% totaly optional
i want to continue progressing in fractals and dont feel like i have a choice with these items
its buy them or fall behind
lex the prob here is you just refuse to accept that any advantage in pve is an advantage over another player
its like your unable to accept that unless its pvp then its imposible to be a p2w scenario and because you dont need it and can get it through grind its not p2w
as ive explained many many times throughout this thread you farm stay poor kill the game for yourselff through mindless boreing farm
i will save my gold and work on my next legendery or buy something else worthwhile and have fun playing the game doing exactly what i want and not what i feel like i have to
His error is in the assumptions he had made. He has yet to explain how RL money will get him more infusions, or how removing an infusion (somehow) cuts the upgrade time down, or how “paying” for a convenience item that players asked for and that provides zero gameplay bonus and has zero effect on skills is making the game “pay 2 win”.
ok let me break it down for you once more
buying these items with RL cash dosent give me more infusions but it dose negate farm thus leaveing me free to progress in other areas of the game (fact not assumptions)
as to cuting down upgrade time read the previouse post i made
and lastly this is not just a convenience because it effects gameplay when applied to infusions
everlasting mineing pick is a convenience and has next to no impact on game play a agony resist dose and will have even more impact when fractals cap is raised
rest asured ther will come a point you are forced to use the infusion you are building before its maxed if you wana go deeper in to the fractals and unless your prepared to start from scratch again building more infusions removeing them is practicly a must
how can you not see how it cuts it in half if you do not remove it and continue the upgrade process you have to start from scratch on a fresh infusion
by your logic we could just leave that + 10 in there and make a whole new one and go +15 and and so on and never remove thme coz removeing them is not gona save you any time
every time you wana upgrade this infusion it grows expenentialy that means it doubles if it takes you 1 week to make a +10 its gona take you 2 weeks to make + 11 and so on
and i dono where you are geting your info from but a removed infusion can be upgraded further its not only +1s that combine together 2 +10’s make a +11 and so on
do you even know how this formula works coz im starting to think not
Ive been playing for months (nearly a year infact) and have COMBAT boosters in my bank unused. You DO NOT have to buy keys, they drop in the world or can be given for map completion iirc. Also you can “farm” keys, which you obviously don’t know about.
And again I can buy keys with gold if I so chose.
Nothing requires me to pay RL money. False assertion is false.
oh i dont doubt you have a handfull of them as i do too but your not runing around with them on you 24/7 and if you start useing thme like that youl have none in a few days time or less depending how much you play
MRA.4758 good feed back and yes A and C are false in this case and its B im stuck on coz anyone removeing there infusions via gem store bought items are cuting there upgrade time in half and anyone who cant afford those items will be left with the choice of keep upgradeing (and get no use out it) till its maxed or use it half way through and not have optimum AR
we shouldent feel forced in to buying items that effect gameplay via the gem store
its more than a simple convinenace and that dosent sit right with me
Lexandro.1456 uness you are buying alot of black lion keys you are not useing every booster COMBAT boosters only come from black lion chest as opposed ot every other booster you can buy outright in the gem store i wonder why that is could it be because an extra 5% dmg boost is an advantage in game and clearly p2w system
currently you get like 1 combat booster every 10-15 black lion chests and cant buy them directly for a reason COZ IT WOULD BE P2W
for a while now i keep looking in my bank and seeing items i feel tht realy should be in the colections tab of my bank and not takeing up bank space
items like unidentified dyes seige equipment mystic clovers pristine fractal tokens (more a wallet isue than collections) philosophers stones crystals black lion chests transmutation stones fine transmutation stones mystic forge stones
there are many stackable items siting in my locker just cluttering up the place that i feel rightly should have a spot in the collection tab
plz feel free to add to this list anything i overlooked and let Anet what you think they have overlooked and would like to see added to the collections tab
It’s not pay to win. With the current gold / gem exchange it would cost 22-24 gold. Only few upgrades are worth more. So in most cases you simply destroy the old upgrade by placing a new one.
you say only 22-24 gold like its nothing and it is nothing if that was the end of it but its not lets say i make all + 10 infusions and remove them at a later date to make +15 infuisons and thne at 20 -25 and so on till its finaly maxed that not only 22-24g and lets not forget the ever decreasing value of gold for gems
thats a prety big gold sink that can so easily be offset for a few bucks advantage Mr moneybags
lol gona need it it seems you can show them the definition of p2w and point out why it is thus but they still deny it is shame realy if they could see it and let anet know they disagree with it we might see a change for the better thats not gona hurt your pocket so much in the future
for me thats what this topic is all about seems ot have changed in to what folk see as p2w tho and thats not my intention with this thread
Lexandro.1456:
I dont “grind” for gold and you are not “buying” and advantage over me, because;
A.) I already have the Stat infusions
B.) Gold is super easy to earn
C.) There is nothing in the gem store to give you an advantage.
A.) Stat infusions are not the same thing i am talking about
B.)gold is easy to earn but it takes time if you spend your gold on these items and i spend rl cash you become/stay poor while i remain wealthy
C.) the gem store has many items with slight advantages over other players
an example of c would be my mate who is extreemly wealthy who buys 200 black lion keys at a time and has every combat booster going on him 24/7
your niave if you think there is no advantage to be had from gem store items
most of them are mild and not much of a worth while advantage at all but they are an advantage
that al sounds good if they stop fractals at lvl 79 but how far will they push the fractals
its proly without a doubt the best adition to the game so far and many of us will want to take it farther than that
Anet will keep adding more content ot it and we will keep pushing the envelope they would be mad not to and asumeing we do go beyond 79 one day we can then argue 100 AR will not cut it at 80+ posibly leading to buying these items
upgrade extractor vs transmutation spliter is certainly a step in the right direction if it actualy works but personaly i still dont belive it should be a gem store item for this feature
can anyone confirm if the new upgrade extractor dose actualy remove the new infusions or are we working from blind asumption coz the text on the item isnt very specific as what it constitutes as an upgrade
Its not pay to win, not even close.
Gem Store = / = Pay to Win
EVERYTHING in the gem store can be purchased using in game gold which you can earn from playing.
And on top of that getting “back” infusions is even easier now with the new gem store item for removing upgrades to gear. Which again is attainable with gold.
well as i said your entitled to your point view and as i said while your grinding for gold my rl cash will buy me an advantage over you
secondly do we even know these new items remove infusions and not just runes/gems/sigils/ect you may be jumping the gun there
and once again a gem store bought item that my whole point im not happy with that
the gem store works fine so long as the items you buy in it dont effect game play or buy you an advantage over other players RL cash for esential items as i suspect these will become is certainly to my advantage
p.p.s allso one thing that may make this irelevant i havent yet goten confirmation on is if these transmutation splliters actualy do remove the new infusions or not in my previouse post a player posted he tried it and it didnt work
i asked if he was removeing the new kind of infuision or the old one and got no reply my info on removeing them comes from dulfy and they are not often wrong
i asume the guy tryed to remove the wrong kind of infusion
ok first off this is sort of a repost due to code of conduct pollicys
a while back i posted a topic on the current formula for removeing the new infusions from your ascended gear witch basicly involves useing a transmutation splliter according to dulfy
from my point of view and many others ive discussed it with rationaly its generaly agreed that this is leaning towards pay to win
for anyone who would dispute this let me spell it out for you what the gameing community view as pay to win
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pay-to-win
//quote. Games that let you buy better gear or allow you to make better items then everyone else at a faster rate and then makes the game largely unbalanced even for people who have skill in the game without paying.
that being said this gem store bought item is going to allow those who buy them to get use out the infusions they are building and continue upgradeing them at a faster rate than those who refuse to pay
im fine with mini pets armour skins and most other stuff on the gem store coz those items have no impact on the game play but this clearly will allow you an advantage in maxing one of those new infusions and has an impact on game play
and before you say it yes i know this will take a long time with the current formula and a billion gold but i dont think this formula will stay the same when the fractal lvl cap is raised as they have promised us
im guessing we will get higher lvl infusions droping at higher lvls or something so we can build our AR faster and more cost effectively
atm we have all the AR we are gona need till the cap is raised but according to dulfy we will need 75 AR for lvl 59 fractals and current max asumeing you have standerd +5 infusions you AR max will be 85
i ask myselff will that cut it when we can do fractals lvl 69 and the answer is no so these new infusions will be a must have when that time comes
i imagine we will be able to make some +10 infusions and those will get us through but again cap gets raised latter and you gota remove them all and your only means of recovering thme is via a gem store bought item its the year 2015 and your geting 1 gem for 10 gold so you gota farm a billion gold to remove all those infuisons or pay cash and do it quickly and be free to enjoy the game instead of grind gold
i jest of course on the figures for gem prices but you get my point currently and prob for the forseeable future buying gems for gold is not good value for your gold. i allready feel like its not good value for the effort to make that gold
you can argue that we can buy it for in game gold and thus its not pay to win your entitled to your point of view
personaly i allready bought my transmutation sllpiters for a later date and i did it with RL cash coz i dont wana be forced in to farming for the next 5 weeks instead of playing the game
and i asure you while you are working hard farming to buy these gems i will have an advantage over you coz i will be progressing deeper in to the fractals and building up my infuison’s
so who else agrees that this method of recovery is wrong and thinks it needs to be changed now before we are all so invested in it cash wise for it to be too late for Anet to go back on without screwing over players who have spent the time/money building a high AR infusion
seems like we need a seperate item for recovering these infusions bought in game not via gem store and at a fair price like say 1g to remove an infusion
its not too late for you to remedy this Anet the community proly dont care atm coz we dont realy need them yet but when we reach that point where we do need them you are going to be faceing allot of complaints
p.s this thread is not about grammar or punctuation i welcome all constructive feedback except grammar or punctuation lessons
i fell for this once with the karka shell earing back in the day
fool me once shame on you fool me cant get fooled again :^P
me i loved minis or more accurately collecting them all its like pokemon gota catch em all mentality
sadly that changed recently for allot of reasons
1 last years xmas minis i was hopeing for a chance to get the ones i missed. I was asumeing we would get a chance to craft the ones i missed since you couldent craft them all last year
2 mini bloody prince sry but 20k candy corn for a seasonal mini was way more of a time/cash sink than i was prepared to do. For something that has no impact on the game
3 mini Mr sparkles rewarding players who attended gamescon over actual players was a realy bad move
4 the marketing of mini pets via micro transactions is getting out of control every liveing story patch they expect us to buy 2 sets of mini pets and combine 1 set for that aditional pet
this formula is being used way too often and with inflated gem prices has become too big a drain on my resources
its at a point where im allmost playing solely to make money just to buy mini pets and im not really makeing any personal progress
combine that with the empty spaces in my colection i will never fill now
i gave up on my colection and now im just geting what a can or what i think is worth going out my way to get
sorry but anet ruined mini pet collection for me with poor decisions,
If i cant get 1 mini pet why get any ?
i belive Anet promised us that exotic was gona be the final tier of armour in gw at one time glad it didnt turn out that way but i have read post of complaints from players who went out there way to lvl all clases deck them out in full exotic t3 cultural useing many gem store bought fine transmutation stones
only now to be faceing the isue of geting all there chars in ascended armour and haveing to buy all those fine transmute stones again
so i guess what im saying is just coz Anet said they are not planing any higher tier armour dosent mean they wont start thinking that way a year down the line
those that forget history are doomed to repeat there mistakes
i rad your other posts and totaly agree with what you had to say on micro transactions and the quick and dirty way
but im sorry to say i dont agree with most of what you said here the comabat is one of the best things i like in this game quests dont bother me couldent care less about the holy trinty
and as for raid if tequatal is anything to go by the comunity isnt realy willing to work together on that scale very often
the one thing i do agree on tho is Anet is stuborn on some things and refuse to let us talk about them ive had many a post showing Anet flaws in a bad light shut down for minor infactions and see same said offences being commited on less hot topics with no reprisal
like its ok to cyber buly someone who is showing Anet a bad light because it erodes there point
but that same poster stands up for himself and argues with these cyber bullys they use it as a reason to shut down your post coz its not constructive they do not just delete the last post but use it as an excuse to remove the whole conversation thread
its like you say (Like if you make sure people don’t talk about it it go’s away)
i dare say most of the complaints are tied somehow to the current method Anet use to make money via micro transaction from gems most complainsts are economey based or something about RNG
and when you think about it was dose GW2 have that other mmorpg’s havent offerd you before
simply put combat mechanichs
a very nice change from the old school style holy trinity number mashing games we had in the past
other than that gw2 is makeing way more mistakes than many other mmorpgs out there ive played
why is this? because Anet like to come up with new inovative ways to keep the game interesting and chalangeing for us
as ive said they have made many mistakes and its not often i think they have goten things right but they have done a few nice things with the game loved fractals and molten facility and queens jubilee for the most part poor excecution with the artifical dificulty encounterd on liadri fight but it was a small detail in an otherwise good addition to the game
me personal im still enjoying the game but i would love ot see a new aproch to things soon
preferably an expansion and an ease off on the micro transactions to get everyone in a more upbeat mood about the game instead of the hit and miss liveing story
i dono if i feel betrayed at least they let us upgrade it to ascended but i wouldent argue that the investment in it is wasted given the more affordable option of buying an ascended one for your laurels
would be nice to see it boosted to once again be the daddy of amulets
Funny how everyone foucses on the precursor side of RNG when the problem is so much wider spread throughout the game i really dont have a problem with that side of it
Getting a legendary was never meant to be easy its like the ultimate status symbol in GW2. if it was easy then it would just be another worthless item every tom kitten and harry had
Oh wait tom kitten and harry all have a legendary or 4 in my case and i know players with more
get with the program and do the leg work guys makeing 600 gold for a precursor is not that hard these days. And comparativly speaking its proly just as much work to gather 250 of all t6 mats if not more
As to RNG i still see it as a big problem for the game with the overall scale of how it is implimented so Anet can keep there grasp on the economy coz there revenue is generated from micro transactions and not expansions/subscriptions
i like many if your points and can relate ot what you say the whole how do we make them buy from the cash shop aspect
perticularly so with mini pets i love colecting minis and feel that sence of urgency you mentioned brought on by tempory content and watched them push mini set after mini set on us as i bought them all up till recently i feelt prety burned out and allmost like i was playing the game soley to buy mini pets most times 2 sets at a time to combine together for that extra 4th mini but sadly they have pushed it far with poor decisions like mini Mr sparkles (first mini i missed) and the the sheer cost of gems/for in game gold ultimately playing all week to buy a coule of mini packs we sucking the fun out the game and made me decide to stop buying them and ive been much happyer playing since
This has been talked about a lot. RNG is essentially gambling, you could win big or never win at all. The people I see saying they have tossed thousand of rares into the forge just make me wonder though……who honestly doesn’t just buy a precursor at that point.
I tossed about 400 in before I realized I was never going to win, then I just saved up (which took quite a long time) but eventually I bought my precursor, and my legendary is right around the corner, and it feels somehow satisfying to have worked for it, and not lost out on too much.
i have bought all 4 of my precursors so far but for me its about the 5k+ hours played and investing in every lotery going not just precursor forgeing and still never being lucky
i have to agree that RNG in this game is a bad joke on us used at every availble opertunity to filter gold and mats from the game so Anet can keep control over the economy and we have a reason to buy gems
i can understand this but i will never like it especialy seeing ive played 5k+ hours and never looted a precursor or crafted one in over 4k rares combined and thats just RNG vs ataining a precursor it gets worse coz we are up against RNG all the time and it is so bad
examples like back when molten weapon tickets where first around i bought 80 black lion keys with gems bought useing real cash and i got nothing worth a kitten
or haloween trying to get myself a greatsword skin and not geting anything worth a kitten in 50 chests worth
or those ocasions where we have had special liveing story containers with chances of rare skins
or when i ran the molten facility dungeon over 200 times trying to get that mini pet or jetpack and got nothing after it all
sometimes im even dealing with RNG on top of RNG like for example i throw 4 greens in the forge see if my RNG is good i get a rare then i wana salvage the rare and get an ecto RNG says no
ive bought in to allmost every RNG lottery going and can honestly say i have never gotten anything good out of any of them i feel like the unluckyest player out there sometimes if it where not for the fact i play so much and am able to generate enough in game gold to buy gems most times i would have nothing
as it stands ive worked very hard for everything i have and RNG has never worked for me when it matters
all in all i still enjoy guild wars but RNG just gets me down every time i have to deal with it i feel like i should have been rewarded with a jackpot item by now on at least one of those occasions mentioned
every time i see some noob with 500 hours played braging they have looted a precursor and i cant seem to catch a break even at 5k+ hours its just seems really unfair from my perspective
yes these kind of things are going to happen but what im talking about is something compleatly different team A attacks team B and never attacks team C at all and team C attacks team B and never attacks team A in fact ive seen A and C clash acidently thinking each other are team B and then quickly realiseing and spliting apart from each other (without anyone killing each other) to attack diff points of team B’s turf
these are not situational opertinty attacks but conspierd colaberations and truces designed to bring down a perticular team
(edited by thefinnster.7105)
ok week 5 in to season 1 and i have had alot of fun but with the stakes being higher than ever before i am seeing alot of server aliances against others leading to realy unbalanced match ups
im prety sure wvw isnt suposed to be like this anyone whose ever player a game like planteside and fought in a persistant pvp enviroment knows you dont team up with your enemys against one perticular enemy for a prolonged period of time.
its a free for all 3 way fight more like what it should be you gang up on the leader and all fight for first
the problem is knowing who you are fighting you are able to see who the higher ranked team is and the underdogs just pick on the big dogs i dont really see that as how WvW is supposed to be
so my sujestion is make match ups annonymous withold match results till the end of the season so no one knows where each other stands or who they are even fighting the goal is we all aim for first and no one teams up except to drag the leader down and try and contest first
i do reaslie there are ways you could find out who you are fighting and it is not a full proof method but it would make it harder to find out who you are up against and potentialy make earning first more chalangeing in a more balanced way
it s just a sujestion but if anyone has a better idea plz share id like to hear what you all think
ps plz excuse my poor grammer brain no work well sleep without
That’s or bust 140 gold witch is not much to a normal GW2 farmer
i cant help but note you say a normal GW farmer and then consider how back befor game launch we where told this game wasent gona be about farm (silly if you belived that) and thne they expect us to farm 20k candy corn for a seasonal mini pet that quite frankly is worthless when all is said and done
i totaly agree with this post and i am one of the players unwilling to jump through Anets hoops and waste this much time and effort for so little reward i want mini prince thorn but at 20k candy corn thats around 120 g from the tp to get that much candy witch i just stupid for something seasonal with no value in game so yes the end result is im not spending any candy on anything this year its going in my bank till next year
i have to say im realy starting to get majorly frustrated at Anet staff and there constant abuse of mini pets to keep a grasp on there economy its starting to get to a point where even i an avid mini pet colecter am seriously considering just abandoning colecting thme coz you guys are useing thme way too much
i feel like you are abuseing me and other like minded colectors to stabalise your economy as if its not bad enough you make us buy 2 sets of mini pets so i can combine 1 set to create 1 mini pet and thus requiering a second purchase from the gem store to replace those combined pets
and now on top of that you now expect us to farm 20k candy corn for mini prince thorn and after doing the math i realised this was gona cost around 120g to make if i buy the candy corn (coz i cant farm that amount)
i cant help but think you guys are takeing things too far once again with these insane requierments for something that is simply a side interest in the game and has no practical use or advantage to be gained .
allso i cant help but think on how when everyone was complaining about the ansanely high requierments on these seasonal mats to make weapons you back tracked and claimed there was a mistake and how the numbers where wrong while as everyone else said they did not belive there was any mistake and how most players think it was exactly how Anet wated it to be
witch i cant help but agree with when faceing the prospect of getting mini prince thorn other examples of this line of thinking from Anet would be holographic dragon wings
so no i dont belive there ever was any mistake in the figures since no one is complaing about the cost of this seasonal mini pet (proly coz the majoity of players have more sence to get invested in something as worthless as a mini pet colections) and you guys have not done anything about the high cost for this (worthless) mini
all i can say is i hope on the next part of haloween event you do something about the candy corn and make it possible for us to gather enough to reach this goal without draining my gold supply so drasticly there is still time to rectify this situation either by reduceing the cost (unlikely as Anet rarely make changes like this) or by adding candy corn deposits all over the world like last year thus reduceing price on the tp by flooding the market and increaseing availability
as it stands i have no intention of getting this mini pet the way things are it would just be stupid to waste that much gold on something that’s only gona sit in my bank and quite frankly isnt all that special and takeing in to account that i am seriously thinking of quiting collecting them alltogether if this trend continues
so plz stop abuseing mini pets the way you are they are afterall just a side interest in the game
the biggest problem im encountering on underworld server with this event is the trolls and part time players who just refuse to take it seriously ill give you some good examples of what hapend at my last attempt
last time we where preping for the fight 10 mins before the spawn me and the commanders are isueing orders asking folk to get in to positions and we start summoning frost bows
we explain to them to wait patiantly and not to squander there frost bow
and of course there are a few who decide they would rather troll you and start imidiatly spaming there frost bow abilitys and picking up second ones witch they then proceed to waste denying others a chance to arm themselffs with a frost bow
now ive done this with professional players and everyone in the dps groups has a frost bow siting waiting for him to spawn and ive seen close to 5% of his hp vanish from a full round of frost bows in the frist minute so i know how important and efective this can be
i try explaining this and yet still they waste bows and now the commander is doing it as well setting a fine example few minutes later and aprox 20% of the dps group is actualy holding a bow when he spawns and the rest must be afk coz thy just die to the first salvo of poisons
and then there is the randoms who are not listening to anyone and havent botherd to watch a video of how its done and just refuse to follow your game plan heres some examples of reactions ive had from them
we are preping for the fight directing folk to there positions asigning jobs couple of mins till hew spawns randoms are wondering around aimlessley miles from any key foucal point and i whisperd one and ask why hes not stacked on a commander and he replys by telling me that he will play his own game how he likes and asks me not to tell him what to do (wtg real team player there)
allso just yesterday i was on TS with the turret crews and doing my thing my turret gets destroyed then repaird and i go to get back on it and some idiot jumps back on it before i can and i whisper him tell him to get off hes not part of the turret team and he tells me to kitten he paid for the game and hes entitled to use the turrets as he likes
i dont know whats wrong with these pepole but they just end up wasteing mine there own and everyone else time when it leads to the inevitable failures that result pepole just geting more and more frustrated with the constant failure and it seems like the server is just fighting with itself in the end
i would have liked to see events like this limited to private instances for perhapse guilds or even joint guild aliances instead of the open world where every troll and noob can just waste space and drag our sucsess rate down
(P.S sry for the bad spelling and punctuation me dumb)
ok i can confirm there is a problem with one of the shops in w1 zone 2 i just ran tribulation mode zone 1 and 2 visited 5 shops achivement says 4 visited wasnt sure what happend and why i was missing one so decided to take a friend through zone 2 again i visited 3 shops on this run and asked my friend how many he had visited and he acheivment list said 2 i am not sure witch one did not count but something is wrong for sure

the real problem is simpley that it is part of the colection tab it needs to be removed from there if we cant all obtain it that way we can stall maintain a complete colection of minis and not give it a second thought
but i compleatly agree with ceadon.9618 if we cant get one why get any i am considering abandoning my mini pet colecting in the future coz of thise poor decision by arenanet
