I like the game mechanic, but I think it is not really suited for 25man raids, because it is a bit too simplistic. In comparison with the most successfull mmo there is simply too few diversity and not much buff management IMO. The aggro management is a mess... just look at the black ice beholder or other world bosses where…
If you want to do PvP more seriously then you always need the best gear and strive for it as we have no leagues. For certain gear like legendary artifacts and legendary weapons the 'grind' is not possible to perform for a large playerbase. This game is f2p, but you have a large paywall covered in RNG. You speak of the…
I totally agree with the OP. I am here since open beta as well, and already gave up on this matter. Important for me are only a few things now. What I did is that I have purchased some zen here and there. And worked a bit on the AH, thats it. I can only say that if you play decently (almost every day or a couple of times…
As weird as it may look for someone, I voted for sharandar, even if I also find module 2 good - perhaps better in regards of grinding. The reason is that sharandar is IMO the graphically best module so far, you can clearly see how much work the dev team spend into it. At this point I really want to give you a huge…
The video is very nice. I always feel sorry when I see a player with full epic gear (3 artifacts, belt + weapon), because they've spend so much money for these virtual items. I am happy with my feywild pack and thats it.
I can tell for myself that I never started PvP because of the dailies. I did it simply for fun already in other games and the main reason is that it is more challenging to fight humans than the AI. At some point I simply get bored in fighting AI. Getting glory and turning this to AD can be incentive enough for those who…
I am quite sure this was a different bug, since the matches were no different. And a better matchmaking/leaderboard system would also attract more people. With custom leagues/rooms and leaderboards or a GS matchmaking you would very likely have better matches in which you gain enough glory. Even if you lose you can get…
I think in the end the best solution is to have several leagues and corresponding leaderboards. Also to remove the AD rewards of the PvP quests and as compensation give the option to transfer glory for a certain amount of AD each day (like the 'refining' process). So these AD/daily farmers will get no glory when standing…
I've made the same experience: got disconnected during a pvp match. After reconnection I found myself outside of the arena with a loss in my history, a drop in many ranks and on top of that a leaver penalty. On the other hand people are frequently abusing it to avoid bad stats. Something must be done...
I've made a different experience. If you play during bonus glory, many inexperienced or undergeared players join in order to make more glory with a few (painful) matches or try out pvp. I am usually grouped with them during these times and its horrible. Outside of the bonus times it is alot better.
The current matchmaking system causes problems/conflicts and frustration, otherwise this thread wouldnt exist. The current matchmaking is a performance matchmaking. This is not a Gearscore matchmaking. Look, the point is people dont want to face a 20k GS nab (who happens to end up because of his stupidity to have a low…
I second this. I was lucky to get the BI gloves on my main char before they nerfed the drop rates, but I am in no mood to grind that gear on my other toons. The Rhemo/Beholder is still contantly swarmed by ~20 players and its hard if not impossible for my lower geared toons to even get a great success there. With the…
Many drop rates are so low because they know that there are people who play 24/7 and are going to farm that stuff no matter how low the drop rate is. If the drop rates would be a bit higher, those players would flood the AH with the farmed stuff nonstop. My suggestion: Make the drop rates based on the number of attempts…
epic :D I think the dragons are well made for what the game mechanics can bring forth. Indeed the HP pool is fine for most of them. But I disagree to further reduce the casting times. Most of them already have very short reaction times. The drake in WC (no, not what you think...) for example can prone you with hands and…
While I find some of your points valid, I have to disagree with what you said here. You apparently confuse the current matchmaking system with a GS matchmaking system. What we and others want is very simple: We only want to meet players within our GS range. I understand that determining a proper GS for PvP purposes isn't…
After a break I started the launcher... now it stays black with 'Loading, please wait'. My internet is working perfectly. Can someone explain to me why the launcher has so many problems? What puzzles me most is that I have not changed anything on my setup nor did I performed any patch whatsoever. :confused:
This looks as if you, as a self-declared 'GF expert', already knew about that problem but didnt posted anything about it. This doesnt really help your reputation....
I too encountered a GF who had his daily up litterally all the time. We were unable to attack anyone in that team. The match was decided very fast. Hopefully that mechanic will get 'adjusted'...
