NC Soft Q4 earnings report. GW2 25% decline over Q3
Josiah.2967 replied to Margol.3267's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Well, I like the idea of a glyph for karma. Speed might be valuable, but it's not the only glyph out there. 3 karma per strike, extremely insignificant vs the other resources due to karma costs. -
NC Soft Q4 earnings report. GW2 25% decline over Q3
Josiah.2967 replied to Margol.3267's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
The new Glacial Harvesting Tool is a great example why revenue might be dropping. We simply can no longer trust the store for having quality items. 1.) Unbound Harvesting Tool (Multiple Hits One Press)2.) Volatile Tool Harvesting Tool (Multiple Hits One Press)3.) Skyscale Harvesting Tool (Mulitple Hits One Press)4.) Glacial Harvesting Tool (Have fun waiting and pressing over and over....) PSA: Do not use Bountiful with Glacial Harvesting Tool. When new items are all the sudden inferior to old items, smart consumers stop buying things blindly. A lot of times, I just forget to buy something because I haven't verified if something works the way I expect it to. I would never use the animation for the Glacial Harvesting Tool. Which is the prime reason for buying the tool. I would buy it for the look, if it was the same or better than the current tools I have to chose from; yet, for no apparent reason, it is worse than other tools that I own. So even on the characters wher eit would fit the theme, I would not use it. I won't even discuss how bad the glyph is... We can add numerous other recent debacles like the advertised "Charr" chair. The legionnaire chair looked epic with a Charr sitting in it in the advertised image on the store. When you bought it, it looked like an adult sitting in a child's play chair. The fix...the advertised image was changed to an Asura.... There have been quite a few other debacles recently... Loosing players trust is costly. -
The New Glacial Harvesting Tool is Broken
Josiah.2967 replied to Eddy.7051's topic in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website
Guild hall nodes are not the same as nodes throughout roughly 98% of the game, please do not try using a niche node type as the common denominator for all. Complaining of how the animation works is quite honestly literally pointless given the molten and consortium sickles are literally the fastest sickles in the game but that is due to a short animation this doesn't mean all sickles should farm at the same rate. Then advertise the difference! It does matter for WVW players as well. For casual users, the guild hall is a big protion of their gathering. I am request that you stop trying to minimize our complaints. -

Josiah.2967 replied to Eddy.7051's topic in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website
Many tools of the later generation aren't often purchased exclusively for their animations anymore but rather the glyphs which afford a new mod for harvesting. Thanks to the wardrobe system any tool can be reskinned which changes it's animations to match so you are getting exactly what you payed for. A glyph that can be used on any tool for a specific effect and a tool that never breaks. This is false. All the newer tools only require one click at the guild hall. This goes backwards without warning people. People but tools more for the looks and convenience than the glyph. Especially one that provides 3 karma. -

I would add a PSA warning people on the general forum. I am use to my volatile, unbound, and skyscale gathering it all. I am lucky to see this before I bought it and regretted. I would never use the skin because of the issue. -
Still boring. Becoming unbearable. Shouldn't kill minions I can raid with.

For the love of consequences... (Repair costs)
Josiah.2967 replied to BENICE.3284's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
You pay a repair costs. It's part of the porting fee other games do not require when you die. No need to double dip. -
In your opinion, is GW2 too hard?
Josiah.2967 replied to Amaranthe.3578's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Let me explain. I know multiple people about to quit over making strike missions part of the area achievement. It is simply to hard for them. I have heard a lot of complaints about Drakka as well. My fiance hates it. I raid, but if my fiance quits because the things they use to enjoy are locked behind new harder content, I will go where my fiance goes and that will create a ripple affect. -
'cause a lot of minionmancers are afk/passive people, and this boss requires a lot of dps This. MANY necros use their minions as a crutch instead of a tool, and Drakkar's constant AOE erases minions quickly, leaving the minion masters having to rely on their own relatively low DPS compared to non-minion builds. Every build has its strong and weak points; big AOE heavy bosses are the weak point for minion builds. As the Kodan would say, balance...Room for thought... The most powerful Power DPS Reaper build uses 3 minions... This shouldn't kill minions that live through raids.

Updates Coming to Drakkar Fight Rewards
Josiah.2967 replied to Fire Attunement.9835's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I honestly can't tell what loot we get form this boss. Does the chest in the middle auto lot. I think I got almost nothing for 2 days. The three chests don't seem to be enough... Where does this lot come from? -
Why does this boss destroy minion builds. We shouldn't have to change builds right in front of a world boss.... I just realized this when I did this on my Necromancer. :-1:

PvE Balance, does it really matter?
Josiah.2967 replied to Agrippa.1693's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I hate the fact that I know I'm holding the group back in raids and fractals playing Necro. I main a Necro. I am a better Necro player. Yet the DPS and buffs to others from the Guardian or Warrior is far superior. It's obvious that it matters when looking at meters. It's not close. I have other people heckling me to play other classes... Apparently number 3 on the meters is not good enough....when I can be number one on the meters and buff others. It just sucks. -
Rechargeable Revive Orb (I hardly die and would buy it like I did the teleport)Starlight Skyscale Skin (Seriously missing now that we have outfit/back)Primeval SkyscalAnother Premium SkinAnother big pack. Usually used when introducing Living Storys and something unlocks every weak.More ways to get Mystic Weapon Skins.

NC Soft Q4 earnings report. GW2 25% decline over Q3
Josiah.2967 replied to Margol.3267's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I would of bought the poorly implemented builds templates without thinking if they were account bound on release. Then I got to experience them and was let down. Now I don't know if I would buy them if they were Account Bound.Quite the conundrum. -

I will be glad when we get our achievements and this will be dead content because it is boring. This update actually made it worse. XP Sponge now with mini XP sponges... YAY -

[Feedback] Shadow in the Ice
Josiah.2967 replied to Ashantara.8731's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I agree. Just as a side note: I recently found out, that two new mastery-points/insights were added to Grothmar Valley: "Shimmering Spire" and "Branching Out". Both are easy to reach and both mastery points can be used for Bjora-masteries. Maybe this helps a little. Thank you. That helped a lot. Now I don't have to focus on content that I just don't enjoy. :-) -

Josiah.2967 replied to Ashantara.8731's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Stop putting mastery points behind "optional" content. If you do make sure there is enough mastery points to avoid all the "optional content". This is frustrating. The story was awful. It was bad. The whole time I just wanted to kill Braham. I did not do what I did to become a delivery boy/trash pickup. This is by far the worst Living Story so far. I hope the new place will bring new ideas, and a fun environment. -
Can you dye the Skeletal Wings Backpack?
Josiah.2967 replied to BloodToxin.8507's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Only backpacks you can dye are the capes and starlight backpack/glider combo.
