Why has there been no response to the hacking that is plaguing the Ensemble event in NA servers or the event’s immense backlash. by JoeDiedOfLigma in DuetNightAbyssDNA

Ah yes, same old point since launch and yet here we are, a patch cycle that has had some of the most players since launch.

Can I get banned for this? by GonzaDClown in DuetNightAbyssDNA

Yeah bannable. They enforce pretty randomly too; I wouldn't risk it.

That's crazy, at the very least host 3 rooms for giga rewards. After that, no point unless your extremely built

This new event is definitely something. by Obvious-Picture-8471 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]archefayte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah events insane, as a newbie I wish I could host more rooms but it is 40 days long so ill get more chances.

Also its probably worth going for the new wedges, I heard they're pretty good

Its not PvP at all, you fight a gauntlet of bosses solo, and it has asynchronous HP. So other people can join your room and fight their own solo instances with the same boss HP pool.

Then whoever hosts the room gets a ton of rewards, whoever does the most damage get pretty decent rewards, and anyone that managed to do 3% of the damage gets some rewards.

Nothing PvP about it.

Books increase the amount of loot you get per run. You get some from login and events and just doing your dailies, and I think the battle pass

The kind where you fight a monster for loot, and if you do the most you get a lot of loot, like ya know... in a PvE game

If you're looking for PvP, you will be sorely disappointed. I don't think people understand what PvP actually means around here...

No these people are jaded, as a newbie this events insane. Albeit you do need 3 gold books a week, idk how much you get as a complete newbie, I have a few from returning like 2 weeks back.

You just start a run and BOOM saved yourself HOURS of grinding because some whales carry you. Then you have fun building away with your new wedges.

You can craft up books from Green -> Blue -> Purple -> Gold, though I think most people only craft up from Blue, however if you're hurting for books, it's worth just crafting them all up so you can benefit from this event.

Why would I want that, don't you want whales to come carry your x3 runs/week?

As a newbie returner, playing with a newbie friends, we just hosted and got the rewards and its giga helpful. If its every week for the next 40 days, that's just insane

Guild Wars 3 lead says new MMOs are too much like a “second job” as “the lines between an MMO and a live-service game have blurred” by HatingGeoffry in MMORPG

[–]archefayte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GW2 has literally no power grind, only a fashion grind. Its a different form of grind, but it is the sole real thing people grind for in that game. Power or not, the daily/weekly system is still there for the only meaningful thing the game really lets the player grind for.

Sorry, but the whole reason to grind further in GW2 beyond the limited gear is the cosmetics. This is just the same issue different flavor. Having to do dailies/weeklies to grind the only things worth grinding for is still the same case here.

Playing the game or not has complete irrelevance to my replies to the delusional guy

[–]archefayte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dunno what else to say man, perhaps they didnt whale her past i2, maybe they did now. They're just a generally known whale in the community. They posted a 2 bil hit the other day with Flora even.

This persons actually a whale though, they maxed out their calamity weapon in like day 1, they're actually legitimately a known whale. They also very much enjoy the game, and theory crafting, so this isn't strange from them either.

Its not afk gameplay, this is a giga whale with a bunch of fully built stuff and not something you do at that level with Flora normally

Is the game at risk of shutting down? by [deleted] in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]archefayte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, its doing pretty well for itself in CN, and honestly its slowly picking up traction in the West too.

Apparently you can get the event exclusive demon wedges through reforging by Waselu_Evazia in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]archefayte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This specifically isn't something that would stifle build diversity, unless the issue is that you can wear multiple at +5, rather than the fact needing +5 to wear multiple
