oro and FA nerfed - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Mindcrime · Apr 26, 2006, 01:20 PM // 13:20

ahh, they finally did something against the item aggro maker. I'm not suprised either since I noticed in the factions preview. That Ritualist had elite skills that could transform offensive/defensive items. Making the Ritualist to a deadly aggro 55 priest.

Hehe, what about us poor bonders.

Either groups stop taking us because bonding is the most thing in PvE already without having to bond 7 people for a full FoW trip. Would eliminate those shitty 4-6man trips to FoW that keep appearing late at night though. Seriously i just can't be arsed to do trips where if 1 person drops its all over.

Quests are still the same, I already did a run of them. People just can't exploit the key/gear trick anymore. Which is good, about time they fixed it.

disposable-hero · Apr 26, 2006, 02:20 PM // 14:20

all it means is the tank must be good at controlling aggro rather than the whole team being able to run in and not get hit.

D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E · Apr 26, 2006, 03:19 PM // 15:19

I can hear it now... 10,000 screams of dying ele nukers in FoW(cause they just love to start arggo before the tank and cast meteor storm)

0.o yes fixed thats it...

Maybe now I'll be able to find a party in the Warcamp for actually doing SF quests now.

I know

I only do it vs sensible groups though. I'm not a total idiot who casts MS against warriors to start agro. I do it vs groups where most of them are casters (like the 2 Mes 2 Mo groups in the forge). Starting with MS while everythings in range is much better than the tank agroing then running back scattering them.

floplag · Apr 26, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

nerfed ... no ... put back to the way it was intended .. yes

you really think they introduced these new areas, and made all the really cool greens, so they could be farmed to the point of worthlessness in record time ?

it never should have been that easy.

Get over it.

Please spare us the satire. It really is tiresome to see people acting like this.

In agreement with this one, really tired of the people that get happy when someone else worries about something they actually like doing. I have farmed UW, FoW & SF. I am not totally freaked about them fixing things, but I am concerned about the possible monthly charge language in their new user end license.

From the guildwars website legal section:

NC Interactive reserves the right to alter the fees payable for new Chapters or introduce alternative fee structures for the Service. Any alteration to the purchase price will be posted on the Web Site at least 30 days prior to such alteration taking effect. If you do not agree to any such alteration, you should not purchase the new Chapter and/or you should terminate your Account prior to the date on which the alteration takes effect, otherwise the revised amount will automatically be debited to your Account.

^That worries me.

Ashleigh McMahon · Apr 26, 2006, 06:45 PM // 18:45

What he said ^-^
It's simply a bug fix. If HA had a "gain rank fast trick" most of the players would want it fixed to stop abusers, but some people would just simply love to abuse it to get ahead of time.

Regards,
Ashleigh

the ones that are willing to be imitation logs with an IQ of... 3 maybe?

Its just as tiresome seeing the words

'LF 1 Bonder 1 Stance Warrior for FoW (book trick)'

Before you could do things normally, then all of a sudden everyone was using the frigging book!

There is only 1 item i can see a logical reason for gaining agro.

Dragons Eggs in Glints Lair, the only single item i can actually understand as drawing agro.

boxterduke · Apr 26, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Its about time.
It was getting ridiculous with all the farming runs.
People that just go there to do quests do not get anything dropped for them anymore.

Rainy Ico · Apr 26, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Has anyone tried using ele wards to farm? I'm thinking about using the tomb build and seeing if it will work with this.

Masseur · Apr 26, 2006, 08:33 PM // 20:33

Love how people use the word Nerfed all the time, like they understand the meaning. This was a fix, so the Monster AI would do what it should do, attack us all, not just someone holding some meaningless item. Griffon Farming wasn't nerfed. A new boss was added to a section in the desert where SOME griffons were, so they don't have as many griffons to farm in that particular area, but there are still some there and some in other places.
