RNG as a concept: Discuss

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

as a suggestion related to possible implementation of 2.5, perhaps offer a number of tokens relative to the drop chance of an item hat can be taken when an item drops instead of the item itself and used to buy other items, for example if a pre-cursor drops 1/10,000 then it would be purchasable for 10,000 tokens, where as a blue that drops 50% of the time or 1/2 would be worth 2 tokens, these numbers are obviously made up because i don’t have access to the drop rates but giving up smaller short term rewards in favour of a bigger long term reward seems a positive choice, and could also lead to lower supply of green and blue items which may make it possible to sell them on the tp for more than the vendor price.

EDIT: also side note, please take RNG out of the cash shop period, it’s pretty disgusting.

Launcher Issues [merged]

try this one:
1. create shortcut to Gw2.exe
2. right click on newly created shortcut -> Properties and add params like this: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -email your@email.com -password yourpassword -nopatchui
3. run from your new shortcut

this fix worked for me, first time i tried it i just got a black screen with the gw2 cursor, but when i double checked the password was wrong.

Collaborative Development: Commander System

letting commanders lock down their siege for example putting down a ram and restricting it to people with 4 or higher ram mastery tiers would be nice, it would stop people who don’t know better from jumping on them without mastery and it would also solve the huge issue of servers creating accounts on other servers to grief their wvw through jumping golems off of cliffs and turning siege to face the wrong way.

also some sort of commander tier system would be great, perhaps that ranks up in response to feedback from players in their squad rather than just earn x money or do x in wvw, i have a document with the names of commanders i trust and the ones i don’t which works ok for me but isn’t ideal, especially for new players that may end up following a troll commander and come away with a negative view of wvw as a result, perhaps even add a long term meta achievement requirement to activate your commander tag in WvW so that you at the least probably know what you are doing before you tag up.

Inverse overflow

Right now there is a serious problem with empty zones, which arena net know and are planning to try and fix, but it has occurred to me that there is an easy way to fix this that doesn’t require any new content to be developed (but we will take the new content anyway) why can’t the overflow system which now only seems to kick in for lions arch be set to run in reverse and put players from multiple servers into the same instance of a zone? it seem’s like with guesting and the overflow system already in place it wouldn’t be to much work to do this and it would make levelling new characters alot less lonely.

Disappointment in the "solution"

My biggest problem is that they offered a solution, gambling is gambling it was obviously gambling and if you spent money on it then any loss is your responsibility and yours alone.

how is it not fair? needing considerable effort is not the same as being unfair.
