Twisted Marionette: Is the average GW2 open world player really that simple-minded? (a rant) Posted: 14 Jul 2021 01:07 AM PDT It starts with organizing the whole thing. We put a lfg up with "don't open instance before commander" in caps letters. So we have time to do subgroups and explain. -> people join and instantly open, this happened almost all the time If you somehow managed to organize it and got 5 subgroups a 10 people -> people go to random lanes cause they just don't care, or don't know that V = 5 (like seriously, did you go to school?) Minibosses tell you what to do, right under their health bars. "Blocks attacks from the front" e.g. We also explained multiple times in squad chat. -> still seems impossible to beat, most attacks fail cause one platform is unable to kill the miniboss Champions spawn at the beginning of the lanes have CC bars, also a lot of twisted trashmobs spawn there. -> people stand scattered across the lane, don't bring any to break bars (edit: not stunbreak) (or don't even know what that is) and fight the irrelevant non-twisted mobs instead Seems like this is doomed unless you are a 50 viewer+ streamer or manage to get 50ppl into discord. (All players mentioned above are lvl 80, not bashing new players here. Also we did explain all the above in squad chat, multiple times.) /rant [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
People already want to see a nerf on the marionette and I think this is a wrong move! Posted: 13 Jul 2021 03:51 PM PDT The Marionette hasn't even been in the game a day and already there are people complaining that the content is too hard and it should be made easier because they don't get their incredible two gold and valuable blue and green items. After a long time, we finally have a moderately challenging boss with interesting mechanics that demands more than just spamming the 1# skill and a large portion of the community unfortunately doesn't appreciate that. Stop getting everything delivered on a silver platter and try to improve yourselves by playing better builds, getting better gear (exotic is enough) and helping other people if they make mistakes and please learn your crowd control skills! This is finally a good opportunity to raise the bar of the community in the game and I hope Arenanet tries to implement this further with End of Dragons! EDIT: It's nice that there are many people who see it the same way. Today I have defeated the puppet twice with a semi-organized squad so stay tuned and don't give up right away! Thanks to all the commanders who take the time to explain everything! And thanks for the awards!

Daily login bonus: GW2 does it right Posted: 13 Jul 2021 08:42 PM PDT FYI: unlike other games, GW2's login bonus is PROGRESSIVE, not CONSECUTIVE (Meaning if you miss one day, it does not reset to 0.\***)* Skippable setup - I am presently playing a different game with a 28 day bonus, but it is of the style where if you miss one day it resets to 0. My partner is E.R. level sick (she'll survive, but I am with her in the pre-op area). So I will not be able to do the daily in that game and it is going to reset. All that serves to do is make me not really want to keep playing this other game (which I only played for variety), and go back to guild wars 2. Main point - Guild Wars 2 is my favorite MMO for the primary reason that it, unlike pretty much any other "live service" game out there, respects my time. "Subscriptions? Screw that!" Says GW2, buy my expansions and we're even. Cash shop: "I don't mind if you use in game currency" says GW2. If I want to play a RTS or a shooter. Unlike other MMOs, GW2's stance "that's cool. I (and all your rewards) will be here WHEN you come back" which is why I ALWAYS come back to GW2. TL:DR - So as I sit here in the ER with my partner, "ruining" my streak in the other game I play for having life get in the way of their game. Rather than getting angry/sad about it, all I can think of is how good GW2 (and Arena net) is to our time -- and I wanted to share that. EDIT: Partner is okay, got home around 4am. Thanks for all the well wishes and for taking my mind off the FOMO trap [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Legendary vs Ascended, or why you shouldn't feel pressured to farm for Legendary gear Posted: 14 Jul 2021 03:51 AM PDT So with the release of legendary armoury I've seen a lot of people saying things like legendaries are needed, or it's unfair how much effort they are because they're necessary. I'm making this post to hopefully give some perspective to people. I'm basing this off the perspective of playing guardian, because it's the most popular class statistically. So we have a few things we can do. TLDR at bottom A) Permanent bank contract (but that's **4k Gold!** yeah I know just hold on) an extra bank tab, and 4 different gear sets to fill all the roles guardian provides (heal, quick, condi, power) 24 armors, 24 accessories, and 12 weapons. Ascended gear can be averaged out to ~50g per part (it's a lot cheaper but this is for the sake of comparison and I want to make this as biased as possible towards making legendaries to help show the difference.) A lot of trinkets you'll get just purely by doing metas that make gold (drakkar, storms, dragonfall) and others you get simply by doing a quick gathering route but again, I'll count those as having a 50g cost even though you're most likely going to make money farming for them. That's a total of 2850g and slap an extra 200g on for the gems needed to buy another bank tab. Grand total = 7200g. That's nothing to sneeze at, it's a huge amount of gold but please keep reading. A1) Now lets compare that to making legendaries to cover the same things you're going to need an axe, a staff, a sword, a focus, a torch, a greatsword, a scepter, and a shield. We're going to assume a few things here too. You have all the clovers, map completion gifts, spirit shards, and karma and any other accountbound things legendaries need so the cost to obtain those legendaries is a lot lower. We'll also use the cheapest legendary to make which is currently moot at about
See how insane this is so far? in A you not only get an extra bank tab, but a permanent bank contract pass AND you'd be left over with 1600 spirit shards, 616 clovers 4,000,000 karma and an INSANE amount of extra time. We haven't counted armor, runes, sigils, or accessories yet. A set of runes (not counting breather) is 3k gold, armor is (for pvp idk about wvw/raids) 2000g and ~1000 ranked matches over a few seasons, backpiece is ~700g, sigils are 2400g, and the trinkets are around 1.5k each. What does that total? ***21,200g*** and that's assuming you're making 8 moots. That number is very generous, and also doesn't account for time spent either. While yes for sure all legendary means you'll never need to get a gear set again, it's more space efficient and the QoL is higher and it'll work for warrior, rev, and guard. Lets assume you don't need any other weapons for the other classes in terms of legendaries and to make the comparison again: You want to play War, Rev, and Guard though! Alright, so to cover basically all the meta heavy tier classes lets go wild and say you need 48 armor parts, 48 trinkets, and 30 weapons + 5 bank tabs for good measure and a perma bank contract the total is still only 11,300 gold. That's half of the legendary stuff and that's assuming worst case for ascended, and best case for legendary. You also get a permanent bank pass that's huge QoL because you can store anything not just gear in it. TL:DR - Legendary items are the end goal the ultimate quality of life and the best future proofing case, however the time required to get an armor division fully geared in legendary stuff is not even comparable to how easy ascended is. You go for full legendary because you want to, there's no other reason because with build tabs and multiple ascended sets you don't even get the main QoL feature of legendaries. The armoury isn't unfair, it's a bone tossed to the endgame community and the people that spend huge amounts of time in game. Final note: Remember to have fun with the game, it's about the journey not the destination and if legendary stuff seems too far for you, it's nothing to worry about, you're not missing much unless you like the flashy skins. Thanks for the armoury update Anet, see you all in EoD!

Yo ANet, Mad Props For A Largely Bug-Free Launch of the Armory & Marionette! :D Posted: 13 Jul 2021 11:58 AM PDT Seriously good job.

200 hours in and I can tell I barely scratched the surface, this game is amazing. Posted: 13 Jul 2021 02:24 PM PDT 22 mastery and 2,000 achievement points only, I never even got my ascended gear but there is so much content left to be explored and I'm so excited. I come from WoW and the differences in this game make it so much more fun. I'm sick of the gear treadmill and catching up, so I enjoy the flexibility here. I enjoy how every content awards some kind of progression which truly respects my time in how little or a lot of time put in. I don't get the feeling of FOMO by not keeping up because the content is so open and vast. Hoping for the continued success of this game.

We need some way to look at the whole Legendary Armory in one place. Posted: 13 Jul 2021 01:43 PM PDT In the equipment panel, you can only view legendary items that your current character can equip. There's no way to look at every legendary item you've unlocked. We need just a simple UI that shows a grid of each legendary item in the game and how many of that item we've put into the Armory. Put it in the achievement panel or something, just a button with "View Legendary Armory" that pulls it up.

If you're wondering why Dragonstorm isn't starting at the supposed time: the time has changed. Posted: 14 Jul 2021 03:02 AM PDT Just noticed that they've changed timers so Dragonstorm and Marionette no longer overlap. Dragonstorm is now every even hour instead of every odd.

Suggestions for ArenaNet to help reduce visual noise and improve performance Posted: 14 Jul 2021 07:16 AM PDT I wanted to create a post to provide some feedback and discuss ways that ArenaNet may be able to reduce visual noise and improve performance in addition to the system upgrades they are making. Below are a couple of my own suggestions, but I would love to hear everyone's thoughts as well.
I want to find a way to be able to play with higher settings, specifically regarding character model limit and quality, but right now it's just not feasible and that's a shame. Large scale PvE events and large scale WvW fights are just a complete mess. Not only does my framerate plummet, but the design and bright neon colors just make it impossible to actually see what's going on and completely rip away my immersion in this otherwise beautiful game.

[Data-Mining] Upcoming features from the July 13 patch Posted: 13 Jul 2021 10:26 AM PDT Hello everybody, The legendary armory and the Marionette are here. I've included the flavor texts that should popup once you unlock a legendary (sadly it doesn't show on the automatically converted items today) but we still have to figure out which one belongs to which. Next update will be in 2 weeks (on the same day they're going to reveal End of Dragons!) Edit: that's it, see you all in two weeks! Enjoy LinksImagesItems

Posted: 13 Jul 2021 02:24 PM PDT It feels like the big discussion today is centered around the (lack of) QoL that the Legendary Armory provides for weapon swapping. Swapping weapons with the armory causes all sigils and enhancements to be removed. The seemingly prevailing response to this problem has been "Oh well, use Ascended Equipment instead" completely misses the whole point of the Armory. Legendary equipment is supposed to be one of the pinnacle achievements of the GW2 experience. And with that, it should come with the highest degree of QoL. Nobody should be satisfied with the current implementation, neither players nor devs. When the new system makes it so that regular ascended equipment is more easily usable than the supposed best, legendary equipment, something is fundamentally wrong. The most apparent fix would be to simply have a system where the items can be "pulled" out of the armory (like the achievement skins) and therefore remain in the players inventory. I understand that there is currently a lot on the Dev teams plate with the upcoming expansion, but it seems that the team has been trying to be more transparent with their work. A response on this issue would be greatly appreciated so players can adequately set expectations here. [link] [comments] |
