Just went to Diessa Pleateu - and it seems like that none of the living story stuff is going on there yet - so for now I guess i'll stick to wayfarer Foothills thing heh ;o

Thanks for sharing btw :)

Upcoming beta weekends for Firefall ! 

So for anyone who'd want to try it out who hasnt gotten into closed beta, this seems to be your chance:

http://www.firefallthegame.com/betaweekends/?utm_source=Firefall+Registered+Users&utm_campaign=5fc3cd31b3-Firefall_Beta_Weekend_November_9th_201211_7_2012&utm_medium=email

If this does indeed happen, I wouldn't be surprised to see people in retailer stores getting fired - even more unemployed people "yay".

>_>

Isnt that what the current auction house/market in games already functions as mostly anyway :/? - I mean you put up a buy order or whatever in guild wars/EVE and you'd get what you need by paying that amount for the given materials ? 

Ofcourse - having to clear an area of hostile creatures, or putting a bounty on bandits, or whatever could be an ideal thing if done right ofcourse.

Well, I'd be surprised if GW2 fails anytime soon.  It's a good game for $50.  But then again, I have not bought a single thing off of their store.  Nothing interests me.  What would interest me?  How about purchasing functionality.  Examples...

 

1) Housing

2) More armor skins

3) Sell appearance tabs

4) Sell the ability to change your character appearance.  The current system is bla.  I suggest it would be an optional functionality you could add to your house.  A mirror in your bedroom that would allow you to change your appearance any time.  Charge $15, only good for the character you purchase it for.

5) The ability to send items coins to other toons.

6)  The ability for level 80 characters to transfer experience to alts.

7) Hair packs. 

8) Face Packs

9) Emote packs.

 

Bla bla bla.  These are just a few ideas.  Charge $15 for each one.  Housing opens the door to a lot of things, like furniture, decorations.  Honestly, I have more creative ideas in my toe nails than their entire store team. 

You might want to take a look here then ;o https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/makeovers-and-more-in-the-gem-store-now/

I really love the game and the combat, though some things do make me wonder.

Same for mesmers, and AoE, or fighting multiple enemies, can take quite a while solo xD

I play primarily a Dual Dagger Elementalist and when built correctly, I can handle pretty much any veteran mob in the game, solo. I also can take a fair amount of damage, with my measely 13,000hp pool and in full Power/Precision/Crit dmg gear. Why, because I'm built for it.

If you build yourself to deals tons of damage, without thought as to the damage you will take, then you are simply doing it wrong. So try my Dual Daggger Ele Spec. Feel free to go full berserkers gear with it too (though make sure you have about 400 healing power from jewels). You'll see just how ridiculous the Ele's survivability can be.

Thanks for the tip - my ele is however only like lvl 25 at the moment so that could possibly be af factor as well, since I don't really got that many traits and stuff just yet - but i'll try and look into it.

Thanks

sounds awesome,the npc army element and ocean warfare would be wild.

 

Here's hoping they pul it off!

Yeah same here - Naval combat would be awesome, haven't been done a lot either, so would be awesome with some of this.

If they actually mange to pull it off - though I guess that year 2025 is quite far away still, but it does sound kinda aweosme:

Why not stunning graphics and sandbox as well as cutscenes ?

Or atleast just stunning graphics and sandbox ?

I can't really answer any questions regarding sPvP as I haven't really done all that much of it.

Anyway, when it comes to WvW you'd most likely lose against a lvl 80, 1v1 - but If you stick together with other people you'll most likely not really notice the level difference at all, where as ofcourse you'll end up getting more traits and better gear as you level up as well, which ofcourse has an impact. I actually think that level 2 players gets pretty high upscaled stats compared to higher level players with lower level gear when comparing it to their level even - The difference isnt all that big btw.

They have just updated the game with a new sPVP map, a whole new zone, with new monsters, new items, and new events as well so yes they are updating regulary :)

If any class is considered OP I believe its Guardian in both PvE and PvP, this could have changed, but they do still seem extremely powerful. Its not like you can't kill them, ofcourse you can, they just got a shit ton of self healing ;p

Warriors are really strong as well, can dish out a ton of DPS in short bursts - where as they are also quite capable of taking a beating if traited correctly.

Not so sure about thiefs, but I heard that they got some really crazy burst DPS as well. Might have changed though.

Endgame does include a lot of farming for different things, there is ofcourse different events you can do, jumping puzzles, and the like, but getting exotic gear or the now new ascended gear does require some farming.

There are also a few minigames, I don't think all of those that they have talked about are in just yet, but I know that there is Keg Brawl or whatever its called in the norn area :p.. - It functions a bit like american football.

Intel i5 3.2Ghz

8GB ram

Nvidia Geforce 480GTX

I'm running everything on max, and usually always around 60 FPS atleast I don't think ive really experienced it dropping below 45 - I guess I'm apparently one of the lucky ones when it comes to performance - I honostly had no idea that it was this bad for so many people ;o

Little bit ago, it was thread after thread of pure rage and disappointment, but now its all about the loot.  Wonder which way it'll turn next.

 

I didn't get any loot, because I just got so bored of the whole thing and logged off. 

I havent looked on the official forums about this at all, so I can't say - but as I mentioned above, I really enjoyed the event besides the reinforcement part of the ancient karka, having to cause rock slides and what not on it to lure it back to its cave was quite enjoyable.

Very long event however, over 2 hours ;o
