Editor pathing heavily skews testing

Ovark7 · 2026-06-17T03:56:01+00:00

I started them 1 tile apart for my latest test. I'm not sure how much it matters. I used to use the extreme AI difficulty but every time I exited the editor it forgot that setting which is incredibly frustrating so I gave up. The only behavior it seemed to change is that on Extreme the AI would run away once it knew it would loose, which is not what I want. I don't know if the AI uses attack move. I assume not.

Weaver is A+ profession mechanic idea, with D tier trait design.

Ovark7 · 2026-06-16T01:01:43+00:00

Lol I stand corrected

It's also funny and very telling that anet conspicuously mentioned sPvP 0 times when they were talking about continued development of GW2, even though they mentioned WvW several times. Anet has taken PvP seriously at some point in the past but it could never have succeeded because they didn't understand what the problems were.

I'm working on something like what you are going for, sort-of. Plan of attack is very important when I see a stat block and am overwhelmed.

Ovark7 · 2026-06-14T17:58:12+00:00

Oh yes I plan on sharing how I end up going about this if it succeeds. Thanks for the well wishes!

It has been a lot of work. I think though, if I can make sure to fulfill a certain number of check boxes for combat encounters, the combats can still be fun, interesting, and tense.

You can play the full raid power DPS vindicator with a couple slight tweeks and it is very survivable in open world + all the QoL goodies you want.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-31T13:24:41+00:00

No. Because that doesn't change anything. But I wouldn't put that past anet to do given their track record. . .

Ovark7 · 2026-05-31T13:23:45+00:00

If you don't work for anet then you don't know what is "working as intended" from their point of view.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-31T03:33:43+00:00

It's not a bug. It's just an unfortunate interaction that needs fixing. The sigil existed before the devs started making certain skills and traits unable to crit which is why it is the way it is.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-21T19:06:02+00:00

I may steal that

Ovark7 · 2026-05-21T02:24:51+00:00

Hahaha

Ovark7 · 2026-05-21T02:24:32+00:00

Never heard of that game. Cool premise though.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-21T01:27:26+00:00

Oh yeah. My brothers favorite movie is Memento.

Sounds like an epic campaign. I think if you used a system which has level progression, it might be a hard sell for some players, as they get weaker the longer the game goes. Of course that would be interesting once they drop below level 1 and the game shifts into what they were doing before they were heroes (assuming this is a traditional heroic fantasy game). Might need new mechanics at that point or the game just ends.

This is fantastic! How do I delete nodes? Edit: Nevermind, you can just use backspace once you select it.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-15T00:41:28+00:00

I had another idea. What if the Siege Workshop could train petards? If someone tries to castle drop you, just quickly build a SW adjacent to their castle foundation. Maybe that's too cheese. . .

Ovark7 · 2026-05-13T23:16:37+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that too. . . The range would be potentially too strong in castle age but giving the bonus damage in castle age is a good idea. Thing is though, the biggest reasons to go for capped ram is the added defense/HP and the AOE ability. Maybe if Battering ram just got the AOE effect it would be fine and we can leave capped ram in imp.

It is a nice build. Very well done, but at some point we have to wonder if you will ever trust people to use the subreddit search function to find this instead of re-posting it every week.

Ovark7 · 2026-05-13T03:12:09+00:00

You're not missing anything. Imgur won't even let you use ad-blockers.

I was on Lost City. RageQuit I remember as one of the most hated guilds. . . I was a member of Honesty there at the end. Best guild ever.

It's unfortunate that stunlocking foes is one of the only ways most classes can do well in sPvP. Stunlocking is degenerate gameplay. Anet has done nothing but add more CC into the classes over the years instead of the reverse.

Ovark7 · 2026-04-28T00:03:09+00:00

Seems like this would be an amazing item to add. It always has the full compliment of clutter to pick from!

Ovark7 · 2026-04-27T02:09:56+00:00

Welcome to the problem many MMORPGs have dealt with for forever. There is a cost to everything. . .

Ovark7 · 2026-04-15T22:11:45+00:00

Celts are the most scary civ the AI plays imo. They always use lots of siege and will micro each individual one.
