User talk:Didis

Welcome

I'm a proud member of the dutch Lowland Lions guild. I have been leader for 1,5 years but due to the born of little Lynn i had to step aside due to ginving er some love and care. Still officers though and trying to make it as much fun for the guildies.

Please feel free to visit the lowland lions (www.lowlandlions.nl)

Maybe see you in game or on the community/wiki pages....

Happy hunting....

User page editing

Hi Didis, I'm assuming that the IP edits by 80.56.9.60 are done by you while not logged in. Can you please remember to log in when you want to edit your userpage as often when an IP edits a userpage it can be hard to tell if it is the owner of the userpage or not, thanks. --Kakarot 17:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Matey I think that matter has already been dealt with. The issue arose from mis-communication which has since been clarified and moved on from. -- Salome 07:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

RSS feed?

Hi Gaile, Due to the widget feature in Vista, but also feeding rss via fora i would like to suggest to add a rss-feed on the guild wars site, namely a rss feed of the community news. Didis 08:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

   Thanx...nice implementation...glad of being of creative small help Didis 

Zaishen Blessing for Tyria

We have a great diversity of blessings all around the game. With the introduction of the title track for Zaishen people can buy zaishen keys to raise this title. A great way to stimulate playing in Tyria and killing all kind of foes in the different area´s is to introduce a NPC at the resurection shrines at every entrance of a outpost in Tyria. Just like in Cantha, Elona and GWEN people can earn balthazar faction. Let´s say 10 or 15 points per kill and 25 to 50 points for killing a boss. In hard mode the points are 1,5 times higher. This will introduce a way for cooperative play and additional goals for PVE-players who dont like to play PVP. No harm is done...people have fun...or the goal is to keep the ecomic value of zaishen keys high... Didis 09:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

   You realize that the Zaishen are Canthan? And Balthazar doesn't like PvE. — Poki#3 File:User Poki Signature.jpg 09:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

       The only available 'allied factions' in Prophecies are: Ascalon Vanguard, Deldrimor Dwarves, Lionguard, Shinning Blade and Forgotten Ones. 
       From those, the title for Ascalon exist already as the 'Ebon Vanguard', same goes for Deldrimor title. The Forgotten ones are tied to the Lightbringer title. Lionguard would be reduced to Kryta and Shinning Blade for Maguuma and most parts of Kryta. That only leaves the Shinning Blade as a decent choice. But I seriously doubt they would be adding a reputation title, PvE skills or Heroes in Prophecies. And, needless to say, they would never make that 'earn Zaishen points' thing you ask. And nobody earns Balthazar faction in PvE.MithImage:User MithranArkanere Star.pngTalk 16:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

           Yeah. The Zaishen are reclusive Canthan warmongers who exist to fight, basically. On the other hand, they were responsible for holding down the fort at the tomb of primeval kings when it was overrun with those cute grasping things (I still want one as a minipet). Still, Balthazar Faction is basically the one universal aspect of PvP, so making it PvE as well seems odd. I believe Zaishen Keys were implemented so that PvP-only players could get some income without relying on the HoH chest. Now, if anybody would like to tell me why in the bloody hell they put that emote in the game, I'd love it, because I'm tired of getting spears shoved where the sun don't shine. Better to figure out how to implement a better way of earning Tournament Reward Points so I can get a fire magic Willcrusher. --Jette 01:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

               Too bad you guys don't get my point...indeed it's a fair income for PVP players...on the other hand...everyone with a large amount of cash can buy this title...and then again typically the meaning of the game is not enabling the opportunity for everyone to get this title by actually playing the game... So farming ecto's repeatable is the only stupid way for people to get this title...when they don't like PVP. If you want to get from title 26 to 30 you have to buy the title...if you don't want to farm HFFF as an morron, but actually wanna play with others in PVE. And straight out of my heart....stimulating farming, grinding and arguments discussion of pve vs pvp kills the game. So stop the negative reactions on suggestions, but give creative idea's to Anet so they can decide whether it's a good idea to implement or not. Didis 10:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

                   You are a personal attack that cannot accept the fact that your idea makes no sense. --Jette 14:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

                       You did kinda go off there, Didis. I don't like how anti-social the game is getting either, but if you let people piss you off to the point where you start acting kinda like them, you shoot yourself in the foot. And then any idea you have in the future, good or not, is gonna be met with a poor response. As an alternative to your idea, I think that changing the rez shrines in Tyria to mimic those in Cantha and Elona, so that in some areas people can buy a blessing to buff their character, would be a nice start. As for adding 'factions' to gain points in, I'm not so sure about that approach. Personally I dislike the idea of 'kill stuff and this number goes up' as a way to gain any title. But seeing how that's basically how it works in the other campaigns, adding a similar feature to Tyria wouldn't be so bad. The developers can change the specifics I guess. But either way, I agree that Tyria should entice more people to play it. This might not be the best way to do it, but it'd be something at least. Really, all the campaigns need a reason for people to play them more, so even more than this should be done, but we'll see. Painted Bird 07:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC) 

Mini mania contest?

Maybe it's an idea to have a mini mania contest again... Didis 17:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

   Would love that too, BUT lets first be creative for the Halloween 2008 contest? One at a time? --Silverleaf Image:User Silverleaf sig.pngDon't assume, ask! 18:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

       Honestly, I think they should have given out Mad King Thorns as '08 Halloween minipets, rather than give them as birthday presents. In exchange, they could have given something different as the third-year green, like... hmmm. Well, I dunno. That said; yes, I'd love an opportunity to get my hands on a mini Oni or something. Oni look almost like Mallyx, if you just replace the red parts with glowing purple. --Jette 19:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC) 

Account protection

Lot's of people spend a lot of time in playing the game. Lot's of hours spend on exploring, gathering equipment, getting wealth. Therefor you want to be sure that you and no one else can hack you're account. i don't know the actually figures of hacked accounts but i have an idea. With a radious authentication server at arenanet where you need a token, a device which generates a random number, which you have to enter when trying to login the game, only you have the token and no one can get to you're account. If the business case is right it could be a good authentication feature and even a commercial attractive product when more online game publishers would use it. Banks use it, companies use it to connect to the business from home and it gives another assurance... It also could save lives, looking at the press releases of people (succesful) suicide attemps when they lost there account.

Why this is a good idea

• By using a challenge/response and response only authentication method within the Guild Wars login it almost impossible to hack or sell your account. You always need the token to generate a synchronised number to authenicate. More information can be found at ie. vasco

Why it may not work out

• Policy change and investement in infrastructure does not meet the business case.

Universal protector of (Discussion)

To give players an impulse to play PVE, I have this title idea. I think a lot of people start a new character to go to the end of a chapter very quickly to unlock different high end missions, skills and other nice things. This means people do not do the bonus/master rewards. That's where my title idea comes in.

A new account based title...the Universal protector title.

If you have ten characters on one account and establish every protector title on them you get this title.

This is how it works:

   * 1 Character with Protector of Tyria/LDoA: 

       * tier 1 

   * 2 Character with Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 2 

   * 3 Character with Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 3 

   * 4 Character with Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 4 

   * 5 Character with Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 5 

   * 6 Character with - Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 6 

   * 7 Character with - Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 7 

   * 8 Character with - Protector of Tyria/LDoA 

       * tier 9 - Legendary Universal protector of Tyria 

Of course this is per chapter, Elona, Cantha and even GWEN. Even hard mode, vanquishing could be added. People could start working on their title "God walks amongst Universal Environment player" (GWAUEP-title)...

LDoA should be counted as one points for each chapter (one LDoA counts as a point for each chapter/HM/etc)

After receiving tier 9 you could be rewarded with e.g.

   * Multiplier in drop rate golds/specials
   * Price reduction at buying consumables, lockpicks etc...in particular outposts
   * Added to the hall of pve fame monument on internet /in game outpost or even in the HOM / guild hall
   * PVE Emote 

Why this is a good idea

   * People have new goals to achieve until GW2 arrives.
   * They start team up again, guilds and teamplay will evolve again
   * People who left the game could return
   * People buy additional character slots, if they don't have them to achieve this title 

Why it may not work out

   * Server/database capacity not available
   * Too many rewards, HoM statue maybe, but not increased drop rate, price reductions, or emote. These things would cause far too much coding to make it worthwhile.
   * Impossible for players who haven't purchased extra character slots or extra campaigns, as a single game gives only 4 character slots.
