Toypocalypse... a flop?

in Wintersday

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

zbrkesbr.4173

I guess it’s just lag but it rules me out anyway

Nope, its not a lag. I got same unresponsiveness with anything that requires player interaction (“f”) during event with the exception being looting. It is most noticeable during toypocalypse as you have to interact alot. And i never lag during game (even in crowded areas, unless its server-side lags)

It’s a new skin. So the main thing that’s new are the looks.

Then it is kind of “new looks with bad design” because i couldnt even see it on my norn warrior (shortest height possible) with long hair.

Endless Wintersday Tonics Thread

25% chance they said.

It’s a relatively high chance they said.

I failed 15 times in a row on Princess and just bought myself the Endless Toymaker tonic instead. kitten you Zom

That sucks but that’s what RNG is. 25% chance doesnt mean that you will get 1 of them in 4 tries. It means that you have a 75% chance of failing every time.

Care to try and find what chances you have to fail something with stated 25% success 67 times in a row?.. its either poorly coded RNG or players are just that unlucky. I got my 1st(!) endless tonic on 25th try, chances of that happening are roughly 100*0.75^24 = 0.1%.

Anyway, lolis aquired – mission acomplished.

Toypocalypse Cancelled. How we did it!

mobs start to behave strangely: teleport, stuck etc if you build too many walls on base, also catapults are proved better than ballistas – if you have enough and upgrade them – they’ll destroy whole wave before it starts moving (but then teleporting mobs will keep you busy on base).

So yeah: key to get achievement is lots of walls and catas.

TC did you not pick up all the presents on ground after each toxx?

Still not enough to keep interest to such activity. Lack of party play, ANet’s obsession with disabling every player ability/giving some crap in hands really ruins that event. I want to play my character with my skills and weapon sets and not some “repair pistol” that doesnt even have repair ability…

Toypocalypse Event

Is the toypocalypse event a one time event? Also, how long is it projected to last?

Assuming you have to survive 50 toypocalypses to get an achievement – its NOT a one time event.

Pulling Guild Claimer from camps for easy cap

in WvW

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

zbrkesbr.4173

Oh but there is a defensive standpoint. If you have to walk through a tunnel to get into the camp, arrow-carts and ballista’s. Boom now your problem is fixed and just need a few people to man the siege and you have some extra defense against 5-10 man groups who try and snatch it. You can EASILY defend camps with well placed siege. People just don’t seem to understand how powerful siege can be defense wise.

“TheDevilWithinU uses siege on camp defense. Its super effective!”

I can take a fully upgraded camp in a 2 or 3 man in less than 2 minutes. I often do so in my havoc team and then GTFO before any defenders show up (stick with less than 5, no orange swords).

We don’t pull anyone out and solo them, we just roflstomp the NPCs because they are as weak as.. NPCs.

Pretty much this. It doesnt matter if you pull npcs out or not – its easier to stomp them all at once to cap it faster. In a my little group of 2 (warrior and mesmer) it takes about 1-1.5 minutes to cap a camp, upgraded or not.

Does this mean it has a patch with every log in? I log in in the morning I have to download, afternoon I do the same thing again.

there are patches everyday atm to address emerging problems with new content/event. It is normal for an online game to patch often after major updates (or in this case – event updates).

Disconnecting constantly. Need Support.

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

zbrkesbr.4173

Usually when something like this happens – the 1st and most reasonable action to do is repair game client, clear game cache or temporary files(if any), reinstall client if previous actions didn’t help. Then check you PC for any malicious/conflicting program running in background, also disconnects may happen if you keep P2P client(s) on during play (torrent, mule, DC++ etc) that takes most of your bandwidth if not configured properly.

Anyway, support was correct in stating that the problem is on your PC: if game client becomes corrupt – it was your PC that made it happen. There is nothing support can do besides giving you some advice.

Did this with friend today… we destroyed everything. No achievement. After some time of running and searching we found little tree we missed and we got achievement.
It would be nice if they implemented some kind of progress bar for tracking these kinds of achievements.

Maybe if people, who destroyed some buildings, leave the party before you get it, then houses destroyed by them don’t count? I dunno. But people should try the solo way if they have trouble otherwise.

Nope, achievement is awarded to every player in zone upon destruction of last piece of decoration. Mobs destroy them too sometimes.

Authorized Network Question: 66.162.136.255

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

Authorized network isn’t your current log in. It’s just a networked remembered so as to bypass email authentication. Unless I’m wrong, in which case I ask someone to correct me.

Currently authorized network allows to bypass both e-mail and auth app authentication which is a serious security problem with those networks appearing from “nowhere”. Just take your time and read Authenticator bug [merged] thread.

Is account sharing bannable?

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

zbrkesbr.4173

I would strongly recommend against account sharing and just wait for the next “free trial” event.

It’s not always a matter of trusting your friend. Your friend can be completely trustworthy yet still put your account in danger. Here are a few scenarios that come to mind:

Scenario #1: Tommy, your bestest friend since 1st grade wants to try the game. You trust Tommy. He’d never betray you. So you give him your login account and password. Tommy was true to his word. He played on your account for a week then decided to buy his own account. What you don’t realize is that Tommy loves to surf the web. A LOT. He downloads every free video, song, and pirated piece of software he can get his hands on. His computer probably has 5 different trojans on it and one of those trojans just picked up your account credentials.

Scenario #2: Your little brother wants to play on your account for a bit. You don’t trust him with your password. It’s kinda an embarrassing password and if you told him what it was, he’d laugh and spread it all over school in a week. So you sign in and just let him play on the account for a few hours. The next day you find your account banned. Why? Well your little brother is a bit of a dork. He thought it was funny to spam “Poopy head” over and over and over in Lion’s Arch for a half hour.

Scenario #3: You would love it if your girlfriend, Jenny would play the game with you so you give Jenny your password and have her try it for a bit. She logs in and plays and kinda likes the game but not as much as you do. She doesn’t want to buy it but instead just uses your account now and then. That’s fine……. Until you and Jenny have a major fight and you decide Amanda is much cuter and nicer anyways. Jenny gets mad and she still has your password. I think you know where this one is heading.

Those are worst case scenarios.
Friend may know a thing or two about internet security, brother or any other relative are mature enough and i think my girlfriend is the cutest.
Utopia desu~. =\

It wouldn’t hurt if that question, “Does this work under water?” is added to a checklist when creating new features.

And test these changes not only in mists but in general PvE areas too. So to expand that checklist: “Does it work?”, “Does it work underwater?”, “Does it work outside of mists?”, “Does it work underwater outside of mists?”. Because those seem to use different mechanics most of the time.

Is reporting someone without chatlog "safe"?

Posted by: zbrkesbr.4173

We have detailed game logs, and if you really feel that the incident involved behavior beyond the acceptable, you may report, giving the date, time, time zone, and the game world, plus your character or log-in name and the name of the infractor so that the team can research the incident.

Some parts of this info can be forgotten or not precise because game client does not save chat/combat logs anywhere to remind you, which is another game design flaw imo.
You can take as prime example an online sandbox game about spaceships that keeps all combat/chat information since your 1st log in until you personally delete them.
