Why not give them a link to killproof.me - this way they can verify it’s not fake ?

People can already do this with arcdps and highlight people who are slacking off or performing badly - a simple in game DPS metre also will give an indication if something is up.

Randoms who are performing very badly may be kicked by someone who is running arc (low DPS or boon outputs) or handling a fight badly for obvious reasons.

But this also gives an opportunity to fix stuff and help people !

Tested this again today - still lag issues on this map with R values bouncing between 5 and 60, Ping of 120-400.

Server time 15:49-15:52.

Other metas have been fine - just this map has major issues.

If making legenderies use an alt account when it’s clovers are full from daily’s then send to your main account.

If someone with a DPS Metre cannot work out that people eating mushrooms (or doing a mechanic) will do less DPS than someone not.. well thats pretty silly....but a simple DPS in-game metre would at least help people have some idea if they are performing there is a large casual player base who will not install arcdps at all. This suggestion is not for the people who know all about boons, positioning, rotations - its aimed at the casual who has absolutely no idea what DPS they are doing and if its any good compared to other people within a range.

If the DPS is shown to be low, the other things can then be looked at - boons, positioning, build, armor, runes etc - a ele doing 4K DPS (who is a DPS person) on a strike mission really should have some indicator on how they are performing compared to another DPS person doing 20k+.

Part of the getting people to play better is to help them understand what they dont' know - giving them a simple indicator will at least start the interest in "I need to do more damage - how do I improve?"

Many players need stepping stones from the 4K DPS ele to the 30K DPS ele - and often this will involve multiple jumps in proficiency over a period of time as they may not be able to absorb all the information required to get to 30K in one block of 10-15 mins of practice.

The raw ingredients used to be a lot cheaper - wasnt such a big issue when the MF ingredients were cheaper.

Try joining a tournament where they want platinum tier 2 or above... there are lovely little badges which you will have to display next to your name and potential screen shots of your current ranked seasons performance before they will let you in the team. Every game mode will have barriers to entry for new people.

Target DPS is not actually that much different at all if you look at various runs and check out the benchmarks on snowcrows site:

https://www.snowcrows.com/benchmarks/

Vale Guardian Target DPS is between 22-27K

Dhumm Target DPS is between 21-27K

In fact most of the bosses have average Target DPS between 20-30K with the exceptions being Qadim 1.0, Samarog and the DPS Golem bosses (Conjured Al. & Mursatt Overseer).

It’s not elitist - and DPS metres are needed to diagnose group problems so they can be fixed - restricting to people who have it installed won’t work. Some content does need DPS checks and to obtain ‘gold’ level strikes does require some level of performance on certain bosses such as bone skinner.

This measures a group - what if it’s too slow, how would you identify people who are not doing enough DPS who said they were DPS ?

It would work as a healer would not be expected to have ‘green’ level DPS. If someone who is the designated healer has bright green dps it would actually show a potential group problem.

All,

Any idea if it would be possible to get a simple in-game DPS only metre ?

Hear me out before you say arcdps...

Arcdps has its place for organising and sorting stuff out and should not be replaced or removed or banned.

A simple in-game DPS metre which shows a simple colour for the person on how good their DPS:

Eg >30K=Bright green, 20-30K=Normal green, 15-20K=Light green, 10-15K white, 5-10K=light red, 0-5K=red.

This would then be able to be enabled during strike missions, fractals, training golem and have an associated training tutorial that the brighter the green = higher the damage being done per minute. The golem DPS tutorial can award AP for each colour lit up - with a simple, do > 10K your DPS metre will show ‘color’ - try it now...

Right now the biggest barrier to strikes is that some individuals have no idea if they do DPS or what DPS is.

A really simple DPS in-game metre (no numbers) will help those who are learning the game get better who often won’t install arcdps. This way we can easily say to someone ‘look at your in game DPS colour it was “red” we need your DPS to be “green” to pass this area.

Many players new to strike missions have no idea there are DPS metres and are vary wary or running 3rd party tools.

We still need arc to run more detailed real time and post diagnosis analysis.

If any adverse effects are encountered stop playing immediately and please see a doctor if it continues.

Please refer to this:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/seizure-warning-please-read-prior-to-playing/

If any area is causing issues on a second run through I would suggest hiring a friend who can port you past parts of the story / zones as needed if you want to listen/progress that part.

Try getting them killed - sometimes it then works and resets progress.

Thank you for the communication update and the willingness to try something new.

It would be nice if you didn’t schedule the season to start at the same time as the next living story update for those that do both content modes.

Would it make more sense if the mobs at the mortars/cannons gave loot than at Shatters foot?

> @"lokh.2695" said:

> The main problem with the revamp was that ANet didn't remove the loot from the trashmobs that spawn at the dragon's feet. It's far more rewarding to still stand there and spam AoE skills, killing trashmobs and the eventual champion, than actually killing the dragon fast. With other Dragon champions, Claw of Jormag, Tequatl and so on, they removed loot from trashmobs to make players focus on the actual world boss. They did this way before the shatterer rework, so it always baffled me why they didn't remove the loot from the shatterer trashmobs.

Sounds like that would be an easy change to make?

All,

What are you thoughts about the revamped Shatterer in Blazeridge Steps - it has a break-bar and some new fun turrets, crystals which need CC.

Before: Individuals would stand on the hill and smash the dragon using any skill.

Now: Individuals stand on the hill and smash the dragon using any skill and occasionally rotate to smash crystals and back to smashing on the hill.

Has the revamp been worth it when many individuals just ignore the CC mechanic and will just burn the dragon down hard?

Should it be tuned up so smashing the boss on the hill is not possible?

Thoughts.

Mystic coins are used for legendary items - you might find one you like -)

How about do some strike missions too?

This currency is really easy to get - the reward track for PvP currently awards 11 mystic clovers, if made repeatable it would only award 2.

I prefer the 11 mystic clovers once than a track which is repeatable only offering 2.

I wish I was missing a million billion gold

I would love to see more classes in the The College of Statics, College of Dynamics, and College of Synergetics.

We have only just started to understand what they do and how it works.

ETA: June 2022

Title: Liberation of Cantha

_Why this title_:

* It has been closed off by the Risen ships and the Empire of the Dragon - free the people ! (too soon ?)

**Why this Date :**

* Virus.

* Marketing will take a full year to tease, release and ooze out into the public domain. They will want to do a teaser at the next big game event in person - which is unlikely to be this year due to a virus. PAX East dates are around Feb-March which would need a big publicity release.

* Voice Actors - they will need to schedule these and they are likely to be busy, right now they are unavailable due to some lock-downs.

* Release date for summer - when people have more spare time to play and also go on holidays.

If the Virus clears up, we may get an accelerated date into 2021 at some point - I doubt ANET will release a full expac without voice actors.

If any xpac is delayed, this allows anet to throw a bone on some of those other aspects of content, including fractals, pvp, wvw and polish items up a bit before release.

True - but however if the purchased access was acquired using RMT (Real money trading) you will also get your account banned for a period of time.
