This guy has 34/50 HoM points including a maxed faction title and Vanquisher/Guardian. I can not understand the utter stupidity required to not know about the effects of each profession's primary attribute after you have gotten out of the training areas.

To vanquish and do guardian you don't need to know the functions of soul reaping

7 hero parties

yitjuan · Jan 17, 2011, 12:32 PM // 12:32

I had a new player rage in alliance chat after we tried to pester him to join a VQ.

A: Wanna VQ Prophet's Path?
B: *snide comment about not needing it*
C: I noticed you dont have Vanq title in HOM.
A: C'mon you know you need it.
B: *rages in alliance chat*

Why do people get so upset that we can check whether they're lying or not via HOM?

You can have a title and not have it in HoM.

yeah, but whats the point?

he was raging on and on about how he wasnt feeling it and then it went on to something about national security and all that. I wonder why some people are so paranoid about a game.

Not to mention there are people who just plain don't want to work on a certain title. I may have vanquished Elona but that doesn't mean I want to touch Tyria with a 50-foot pole.

I'd like people to actually play content, at least. Sitting in Doomlore over the weekend, trying to get into groups to go VQ, it was 80% people doing nothing and those that were LFG begged for runners through CoF/Rragar's/etc.

In other words, waiting for someone to come along and play the game for them.

I do agree with that as well. I am on verge of getting Gwamm and it has been easier for me then for alot of people who have been playing the game for a long time, I've only been for 13 months, it just sucks because with the 7 hero parties I mean there really is nothing at all that sets anyone half decent apart from everyone else. I was testing something the other day and was dual accounting Uw and DoA...which was pretty much 6 hero's and a somewhat afkish party member... both are doable with just hero's...finished DoA, and laughed too much during Uw that I just turned the game off.

So kind of either way you look at it, yes people may be 'playing' the game somewhat more, yet it won't be with other people. Less chance @ failure with most hero's. And pretty much with the ease of doing everything with those hero's nothing will be difficult to 'get' or 'farm' (not saying it is atm, but everything will just become even easier)

As someone said if you played with people now you will still do it later with 7heros and if you didnt you wont still. and i was hoping around in doomlore and saw someone offering to run to nic for 10k.

BenjZee · Jan 18, 2011, 01:17 AM // 01:17

Probably a bit of abuse when it stated i had completed vanquisher title via tome and i was in front of a player who said you can't possibly complete that in town..therefore i was a cheat

Yeah that is true I suppose, just wondering if anything will be worth anything after the 7hero update.

and ooooh goodness... that's just the epitome of sad. Sometimes people need a hand to reach through their monitor and slap them

Stop kidding yourself. The only timeframe in which titles were 'worth anything' was the two month period between the release of Hard Mode and the release of PvE skills that turned it back into Easy Mode.

Probably true but as said before I didn't get the game untill late late 09 missed all those good times, and did alot of it just with few people to get titles...after getting titles the more and more worthless they became.

Is it just me, or is it getting harder and harder to read numbers?

Lol, it actually does increase the drop rate. The more people you have in your party, the higher the drop rates. But, the leechers will be grayed out for the farmer so they don't actually steal the drops. They're just there to give the farmer more drops and give themselves rep. I have friends who farm the raptors and those blue ice things (Sorry, forgot their name). They've told me themselves that its made a difference.

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop spreading this myth. It just isn't true just because your "friends told you". Many people including myself have run very extensive numbers clearly disproving this.

Lady Aranza · Jan 18, 2011, 05:53 PM // 17:53

I just fitted Pyre Fierceshot out for Cyndr: Strike as One, Poisonous Byte and Charm Animal, Oppressive Gaze, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Bite, and Run as One. Also, I had Dunkoro and Xandra, and Mhenlo, Lina, Devona and Eve. Went to the dungeon and it worked, Cyndr went down. Only afterwards I realized that there is no pet around. I had forgotten to let Pyre charm one. He did rather well for a ranger with only 3 skills!

RedDog91 · Jan 18, 2011, 08:10 PM // 20:10

Last night after a JQ match, one of my fellow rangers who just happened to be on the opposing team whispered me and accused me of hacking.

person: Quit hacking noob.
me: excuse me?
person: don't play retarded, you hacked your d-shot skill
me: and why do you think that?
person: its only suppose to interrupt and put 20 second recharge on spells. you did it to my barrage.

Oh dear god, those kinds of people make me lol. Ran into someone like that in FA yesterday.

Person: WTF, you disabled my self-heal! You hacker!
Me: It's called Diversion.
Person: That's not what Diversion does. You're a noob.
Me: No, I hexed you with Diversion. You used your self-heal. Disabled.
Person: I know how to play a Mesmer! Noob! BOT! HACKER!

A simple /wiki would set them straight.

Zodiac Meteor · Jan 18, 2011, 09:53 PM // 21:53

That barrage story reminds me of this time with this retarded necro in FA.

Some necro: Ranger Interrupts are so overpowered.

Me: Their not that bad. Just play smart and stop spamming spell casts.

Some necro: Are you kidding they cast instantly, have low recharge and deal damage even when they don't rupt.

Me: Cast instantly?

Some Necro: Yeah, it's a pain.

Me: They don't cast instantly...

Some necro: Yeah they do, plus they cost no energy for rangers.

Me: They do cost energy.

Some necro: No, rangers spam them without any energy management.

Me: ... Your dead wrong, go play a ranger.

Some necro: I have a level 20 ranger who beat Nightfall.

Me: ... Your dead wrong, go play a non-sucky ranger.

Some Ranger: Your totally right necro, rupts are OP and bugged. Anet is nerfing them soon and is giving the necro class rupt spells to.

Some Necro: Finally!

Me: -_-

Some Ranger: -_-
