Hmm, Khylo. I was a DH, and I wish I’d taken better notes on what the classes of everyone else was playing. But regardless the posts above seem to indicate that match making is still fubar, keep posting them so we can pretend the devs will see that matches suck and will fix match making soon tm

Where is your balanced PvP now? This thread is not meant to provide ideas on how to fix it, everyone else has done that, this is meant to ask where the thread we could report bad matches go.

suggestion: tomes to mastery xp non 1:1 ratio

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

Right now tomes of knowledge can’t be used to gain mastery points, nor do think they should, what I’m asking for is tomes to count for some amount of xp towards being able to level masteries. Anet already stated they didn’t want to do a 1:1 ratio since this should take you a while, however if tomes only count for part of a bar of xp needed to use mastery points.
The way I heard ascended rings and salvaging being described was the number of people who have a stockpile of rings and the gold necessary to actually fluctuate the market is insignificant. The number of people who have done enough PvP to have a metric kittenton of tomes and yet still care about doing pve content is likely insignificant (I leave it to you to actually figure that out). Besides it can’t cause any damage to the market since you said dungeon farming wasn’t going to damage the Tyrian market.

The thing you’re looking for is spirit watch. Except there’s only one flag and three points. This is also the reason we’re unlikely to see a CTF similar to what you’re asking for.

Guild Mission/Favor problem for 1-2 p guilds

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

I can’t speak for everyone so this applies solely to me. I don’t give 2 kittens about getting a “personal guild hall” there is nothing in it, except possibly the arena, that I would like at this time—plus I have much better things to blow 100g on—HOWEVER I do use my personal guild to build the +5 supplies for wvw, I mostly roam, often times by myself. That +5 supply can really make the difference when I’m working on a tower or keep, or defending one and have to run back and forth. I don’t feel like Yoda, Brett, myself and many others are asking for a lot here, just the ability to continue building the +5 supply, maybe a banner or buff when we know we’ll be around to use it for a while. You still get the fancy guild halls I get the ability to be allowed to use +5 when I want and not have a giant wvw guild mad at me for using theirs.

OK so…what would you recommend then Evan? I want to play the three classes that are going to have lower professional MMR, but loosing streaks like this suck and don’t make me want to keep trying. Its not like I’m doing particularly crappy on my Engineer, maybe a little worse than the classes that I play more, but not bad enough to throw the match alone. Also thanks for responding, gives hope of anet listening to us.

Anet I am confused. I just lost 8 in a row, over the weekend I lost 10 in a row, I thought the new system was supposed to stop this from happening, or at least less often. I’m not a new player, over 1k matches in unranked where both of these happened, but this is just off putting. Especially the match where my team didn’t even get 150-500. Only one of these matches was courtyard, and you’ve yet to release any findings from the old thread of ‘report bad matches’.

tevoro.1587

In a majority of the matches I had today there was one person on either team who was DC for most of the match, I wasn’t keeping track to be honest, but I’d say 8/10 matches were 4v5. Is this some server client issue or are people just saying they’re ready when they really aren’t?

I hae one answer: August 29, Challenging Group Content announcement.

That’s great! For when hot comes out. That doesn’t solve the problem this tread asks about, we are bored with current content. You’re saying, “look! Here’s a teaser about some content, but don’t ask about a release date for it or what we’re going to give you in the mean time.”

90-500 twice

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

Let me clarify, these were all separate matches. I had one person leave after getting a stomp at mid and then we went on to loose horribly, but the other time we had all 5 and lost. The two pregroup teams I definitely didn’t feel like it was a near even match of their skills to ours. The people leaving thing is just a constant problem and seems to make it near impossible to win.

Please tell me again how the system is working as planned. In the past two days I fought two pregrouped teams when none on mine were. I’ve lost matches where we didn’t even break 100. Plus the never ending problem of people just leaving the match. Can’t we get a replacement? It sucks to be 4v5.

Foulbear map in need of an easy fix

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

OK, IP 64.25.33.80:0 of Fields of Ruin is broken, but it should be an incredibly easy fix if a dev could come for 30 seconds. There is an NPC that died in the ogre camp, if the gate blocking her progress is destroyed she should just walk out and the chain restarts. I know everyone is hard at work on all the changes from the beta, but 30 seconds is all I’m asking for, come in, blow up a gate, go back to work.

Verata & Malicious chests

tevoro.1587

I think you can, if they have no intention of adding them to the chests I will probably try that next, but I still think it makes sense for something that is primary condition rather than something like settlers (leftpaw) or shaman (zintl) to be included in this box.

Ogre Wars bugged on both sides.

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

I’ve reported this bug before, shown that it cannot be fixed even with a dev, the map needs to be closed. I sent an in game bug report in as per request, on the charr side, Maybri is standing outside the door to the ogre camp invulnerable, and none of hte other NPCs have arrived at her location to start the event. On the human side, Finley is standing outside the ogre encampment and no one is coming to meet her and start the event. These are both known bugs, I’ve reported them multiple times before, and last time they appeared I got confirmation from you, the devs, that it was infact broken and you could do nothing to repair it other than close the IP. I ask that you come and do that again, and you know, fix the event for real.

Maybri and Slashclaw are chilling in the ogre camp, the event status is gone. Waited in Charr camp for 10 min to confirm that the pre-events would not start so it could be unbugged by players. How’s that alternative method of getting devs to come unbug this event coming along?

IP 64.25.33.56:0, the IP made last night. The bug is also the same as the one in the previous map, the event states that “Charr and Vanguard forces are assaulting Foulbear Kraal and its leaders.” However no friendly NPCs are within the compound and since it states that the current objective is assault none of the events will spawn.

A tale of three items

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

Once upon a time Anet made collections so the players would have things to do while waiting for new content to arrive. Within these collections there were three items known for their rarity and the price of them on the TP reflected this. Pendant of Arah (started around 1k sell), Commissar’s Manifesto (sell 350), and Sam (400 sell). Pendant slowly went down since there were plenty of places you could get it, Arah P1-4 and Eye of Zhaitan (even if the escort pre takes up to 50 min to spawn), so its price slowly dropped down to 300 sell. Commissar held steady for a long time due to the event being buggy and having no player fixes, but one day the magical devs patched Higgins and the event never bugged again, all the players rejoiced and the price steadily dropped down to 100g. Then there was Sam, like Commissar the events attached to Sam were liable to bug hence the inflated price (still 360 sell), but unlike Commissar the magical devs have yet to patch the numerous bugs with this event, even though its been this way since launch. Since the event was never patched players started finding ways to ‘fix’ the event on their own, sometimes having to spend an hour just to unbug it before getting to actually do the event. However Every once in a while, and more often as of late, bugs appear that players can’t fix on their own! queue crowd shock and horror So like the gods of old, we pray to the devs and hope that one will hear us and occasionally check on Fields of Ruin because its basically always bugged and we can’t ‘guest’ on another server anymore.
So the story goes on, with two happy items, and one causing riots and player angst (ok fine all three do, but two to a lesser extent). Maybe one day soon™ will come and this event will be fixed, until then I plan to keep harping on the issue and since this isn’t a bug report there is no reason to move it to the ‘bug’ forums where it will fade into obscurity.

Just submitted this in a bug report, did the exact same report last night, going to keep harping on the issue until hell freezes over, or the event breaks in a way that I as a player can fix again instead of having to rely on devs to come reset the map. Also, submitted in triplicate.
Ogre Wars is broken NA servers IP: 64.25.33.33:0
Event chain states “Charr and Vanguard forces are assaulting Foulbear Kraal and its leaders.” however there are no friendly NPCs in the ogre compound, the northern gate is still up, Maybri is no where to be seen, the scouts on the human side are still in Sappers, and since the chain states that the compound is being assaulted none of the pre events will start. I sat in the server for an hour last night just to confirm this point, I am in game right now and it has not changed since then nor will it please have someone come in to confirm because I have good reason to believe that your system for checking if the event is working properly without being in the map is not functioning properly. I will not be leaving this map until something changes, thank you in advance for your attention.

Dear Anet, I know you’re super busy, HoT, eventually, coming out and all, but you remember the numerous threads complaining about communication? Last I heard there were people looking at this event. Dwayna knows how many times we’ve been told “Sending in bug reports helps!” Now I gotta ask, can we get some communication? Something as simple as everyone is working on HoT and all non-immersion breaking bugs are being put on the back burner until after its release, soon™. Lets be honest, it sucks spending an hour at one event, let alone having to try and fix it.

Bad match reporting

in PvP

Posted by: tevoro.1587

tevoro.1587

The matches I was talking about were specific to the rules Josh asked for previously, where it was 500-250 or less, where there were sickly dragons and killer hares. I am not saying we need solo queue again, I rather like how it is now, what I’m asking for is a check on the system to see how the hell 5 solo get paired vs 3-2 split, why not 3 and 2 solo vs 2 and 3 solo? I know the idea of the system is to get everyone into matches as quickly as possible, but that could’ve been worked better.

I did not support Ellen Kiel then and I most certainly do not support her now! She was the protege of Captain Magnus of the Captains Council in the elections, she has been dragging her feet on rebuilding LA, where did all the money players donated to see it rebuilt go? Don’t point to this sudden flurry of construction and say that its finally paying off I’ve never heard of someone taking five months to start work after they’ve been paid. According to the rules set in place to become a member of the Captains Council she needed three things: 1. pay a fee, 2. have a ship, 3. have majority approval of the sitting Council. Needless to say I would like to know where she got the money, we know she ‘acquired’ the ship (it was in fact stolen from the pact and when she retrieved it from Mai Trin she never returned it, but instead used it for her own means), and she had someone on the inside lobbying for her to get majority approval.
Even after she got elected she has repeatedly failed the people of Lions Arch, when Scarlett attacked, she was not heeded by the council, and she did nothing to prepare on the side forcing a privateer to give up significant profit in the form of arms in order to re-secure LA. As stated above, after Scarlett was defeated she wasted no time collecting funds to ‘rebuild’ LA, but it has taken many months for any progress to be made.
I ask you this, do you continue to support someone who clearly is unfit for the job? Did you ever support her as the election claims a majority did? Will she ever see to Gnashblade being reimbursed for the goods that were taken in the Lionguards time of need or are those simply to taken as lost profit?

Character with WC done and no skill points

So I’ve done world completion three times now, more because I’m bored than for legs, and I’ve spent all the skill points earned on two of those characters on mystic toilet supplies. Am I going to have hell trying to get skills/elite specializations with these two characters? Will using the scrolls of knowledge on them now help at all? Can Anet release a very clear statement specifying what will happen to scrolls, and if characters with no skill points and no places left to commune with will be left in the cold?

Maybe its just because I use phantasms more than clones/illusions, but the post seemed to make it sound like the elite favored shatter builds hell of a lot more, yes the post said we can give alacrity to our phantasms (love it), but later it says that all those wells have high recharge so we should keep the alacrity flowing, which would do nothing if it is flowing to our phantasms instead of us. I’ll reserve judgment until tomorrows POI, but did anyone read it differently?

Or will they still be useful after this trait update? Yes I understand that skill points are being turned into account currency I’m more wondering if they (scrolls of knowledge) will suddenly turn into hero point scrolls, also which one will be worth more to me assuming that I can get a character to 80 in about 30 seconds using tomes of knowledge.

Any chance you can prod the team into a few details, maybe you know, if we’ll see it in Q2 or Q3? If there are any details you know how ravenous the forums are for this. Then again, posting this on a Friday late afternoon I have a feeling its not going to get seen…

So I just played a match where before I had reached home an ele from the other team had reached it and then managed to kill me in 1 shot. In the time that I blinked I was down. I know I wasn’t lagging, and I know it wasn’t just me because he did it to someone else right after. He never switched attunements except to get the stomp, he used ride the lightning to me from out of nowhere and before he was out of that move I was dead. Can anyone think of how this was done outside of cheating? If not any chance a dev is around to look into it? Also, I looked at combat history, it doesn’t show me taking any damage during that period, would love to know whats going on…

So a while back the ever helpful Gaile Gray commented on one of the numerous posts complaining about this meta event being broken and said hat sometime soon one of the devs would be commenting about how they were planning to fix it. The dev, whose name escapes me at this time, did post a quick comment, but it didn’t detail a fix or even mentioning what this fix might be. I was just wondering if this fix was still coming down the pipe and if so is it a sign of things to come? IE, will we see fixes for events like Ogre Wars, Devourer Queen, and the event that spawns giants in Brisban sometime in the near future?
