It may not feel that strong solo, but it's really good paired with anything else. e.g. in a 2v2 you can take out one opponent with cc while you both focus dps the other.
1) What exactly do you "win"? It doesn't make any difference to me if someone else has the best gear. It's not like there's open PvP where someone can kick me out of town. 2) You're complaining that gear is too cheap on AH? Don't buy it. Grind all your own gear. 3) I supposed it might annoy me if I loved PvP at really low…
As far as I'm concerned, any Zen purchase is asking to break the RP rules. A race change is no different from a mount or whatever that your character didn't go out and "earn". So I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed. Perhaps I always imagined my character as a dark elf. But they weren't in the game yet.
The game isn't zero sum. It doesn't affect me in the slightest if someone else has a billion AD or all the best gear or whatever. The game was pretty much always built so you can compete against and improve your own character. If the game were designed so that a group of well geared players could take over towns and kick…
I think I've been kicked from PvP because someone didn't want me having the high score. I can't really tell, but if that's possible, it's pretty stupid.
Anyone who's played WoW knows this system won't work. Because it still requires the ninja to do the right thing. Stupid people or trolls will roll need regardless...and now you're made it so they can't even trade it to the right person if they wanted to. Having need before greed as the default seems like the fastest fix.…
L2 castles sieges were amazing. Not just the mechanics, but because they were important. (As opposed to say gw2 where they didn't mean anything.) I've played the arenas in l2 and WoW. I don't care for them. WoW BGs are a lot more fun. All of these have gear gaps, which I don't like. In that way gw2 sPvP is much better. I'm…
I haven't really done the end game content. If there's something like an enrage timer on a boss or otherwise there's a dps race in place, then you need to look at class balance, otherwise it doesn't matter (for PvE). Obviously PvP is a whole separate issue.
What kind of exploit? Who does it hurt? If I'm in a PvE or PvP instance with someone and whatever they do destroys the group and makes everyone's gameplay unfun, then I'm extremely likely to report it. Because it will probably ruin the next group too. I couldn't care less about someone finding a way to level fast.
Pretty much every game has this same issue. Leveling is designed for casuals but people want the end game to be more challenging and designed for guild groups. It took WoW what, 7 years to add the lfr system so casuals would have a chance to see raid content. If you don't want PvP, then you'll only find more content in the…
I'm pretty much using pots whenever they're up in groups. And I use them when playing my Cleric (they're terrible at healing themselves). The different between having a Cleric in a group and not is that without a cleric, I use my Cleric companion instead of one that boosts my dps.
Cats are companions which do nothing except transfer their stats to you. Basically if you were logged in during the time that got rolled back, every other line in trade chat was about cats. Buying, selling, trolling, whatever.
tbh, I found the AH messed up about the way it credited you for stuff you got outbid on. It just seemed to eat the AD half the time. So I'm reluctant to play it at all.
Just don't have the rolls at all. In a group, I don't want combat looting, I don't want N/G/P, and I really don't want to deal with bag management. Make the looting happen automatically. Stuff it into something like the overflow. Let me sort it all out later.
This is a bad attempt to fix a bad system. It doesn't work in WoW either. It's still prisoner's dilemma. If you don't care about other people, lowering the reward doesn't really change things. Use a co-op loot system like gw2 or WoW's LFR loot.
