Originally posted by GeezerGamer Like I said, comedy gold. You know what? The game launches in less than 2 weeks and I'm a bit bored until then. Come back later so I can laugh some more.

Originally posted by GeezerGamer Because I cant use these buffs in sPvP which actually matters for my ranking on how well I do and how well my players do. Thats like saying that its a scam because people will jump their char to whatever server is doing the best in WvWvW for the buff, sure you can spend all your money doing that constantly, but is that buff really worth the money? To some sure, to others, meh. Besides, I highly doubt anyone would pay that much money into something that really doesnt benefit them that much in the long run. Not worth investors money IMO. Will that guy with a few potion really make me quit the game if he is doing so much better than me in a PvP world where you gain nothing of huge sentimental value from winning. No. Will I ever be able to tell truthfully, probly not, I'll probly think he's better skilled than me. If they sold buffs that gave bonuses to sPvP, the point is valid, but I don't get y a few 10% buffs really will turn the tides of an entire WvWvW match, guild wide or not. |

Originally posted by GeezerGamer A) Because it simply isn't happening in WvW the way you say. B) Because even if an entire guild of 100 players collectively spent the THOUSANDS (this is not an exaggeration) of dollars it would take to permanently maintain those buffs through even ONE WvW match, those buffs are so insignificant compared to every other stat modifier the game offers through a plethora of in game mechanics, and those 100 players remain one small part of a much much larger battle. Even IF I were facing such an absurd hypothesized bunch of people in WvW, I could only thank them for foolishly donating thousands of dollars to help fund the game I'm enjoying. |

Is this item even useful? The only thing bothers me is if those gathering tools from the mythic chest actually give an advantage. |

Originally posted by Serin101 But think of the children! All those kids who go hungry because our server didnt have those buffs to hold that supply camp and get those supplys back to our server. And you couldnt spend a mealy 1000$ like them to help them out. You heartless bastard. |

If anyone want to fund their server for permanently giving them buff in WvW all I can say is good for them... I'm not sure if anyone have that much server pride. |

I wonder if some of these people realize that not only are those items limited to PvE, but you can also craft items that give the same items via cooking. Not to mention the fact that you actually get these items as rewards for doing various quests / map completion / jumping puzzle completions.

I know I've seen food from karma vendors that offer bonuses on par with what you can get from the mystic chests. once again, something twisted out of proportion. I'm not familiar with the exact bonuses from cooked foods, but I wouldn't be surprised if those aren't on par, or even better. I also get some of these boosts from the personal story, zone completion, acievments, etc... Want to know more about GW2 and why there is so much buzz?

Originally posted by aesperus Some people say those things work in WvW, but not other form of PvP. And just because you can get it, don't mean it's ok. The question is how easy to get it. If it takes me 5 minutes to gather material and craft it, I wouldn't mind. If it takes me 40 hours to find a damn mythic key I probably care. Maybe you can tell me how easy it is to acquire it. I'm really not sure how it works because I'm not in Beta. So I have to rely on what people told me. |

Originally posted by laokoko I got something like 20 keys in all the time I played. I'd say 1 every 3-4 hours? maybe.Keep in mind however that whatever booster is in the chest is completely random. No promises you'll get the one you want, and it onlylasts an hour.
Look, if someone wants to spend hundreds of dollars, they can keep all the boosts on permanently. Whether this will affect WvW signifigantly is yet to be seen. Yes it will affect 1v1 play. Bout we've already seen 20v5 fights where the 5 won because they were smarter. So how much of a difference stats make might be negligible.
IF it becomes clear in playing that certain guilds push perma boosters on their players, and IF those guilds appear to clearly dominate WvW, then we have a problem. And best believe I'll be raising my concerns to Anet, as will most people. I honestly think those boosts working in PvP content is a bad idea. But I won't gripe if it doesn't change gameplay. And no, it's not 100% gauranteed to do so. We'll have to see it in process first.
The onyl way I see it making a real diff in WvW is if an entire large guild ALL use the boosts, all the time. And no one on the opposing sides does. And if the opposing sides choose not to/cannot find a tactical advantage. |

Originally posted by Serin101 If their intent is to attempt to pay to win as the other poster supposes this hypothesized group would, it would indeed be foolish. 5 months later, with over a hundred thousand dollars spent and probably multiple WvW defeats suffered, I'm sure they would agree and reconsider their generosity :p |

Originally posted by Homitu See, this is the type of logic that doesn't work for them because it makes sense instead of creating panic.

With my high level thief, I have recieved a lot of rejuv potions, karma potions, exp potions etc - they are all still in the bank. At no point ever did I feel levelling was a grind or felt encouraged to use a potion in order to make it faster. I did not feel the difference when I tried the rejuv potion, because when played as its meant to be played, your character does not take a lot of dmg during combat anyway. The amount healed with rejuv, a weak regeneration type buff, is so small that it cannot save you if you are "tanking" when youre supposed to avoid the damage.
Thus I find the items are oldschool appeasers. They have no actual real purpose as such, but I think they make people feel better, when they open a chest and find not just 3 potions to turn them into an elk for an hour, but rather find some weak potions to use - or in my case, forget about - instead. |
