Guild Wars 2

If Anet still cared about dungeons, I would say that the current dungeons are fine as they are. They’re basically the ‘normal’ mode of dungeons in other MMOs.

What needs to happen is a hard mode with much better AI, revamped mechanics, and better rewards.

Since the lack of common trinities usual mmos have, the zerker-meta was just a matter of time…
I mean, since every class can heal itself and downed players can be revived, stacking and pure dmg actually is really smart.
But some of the new content doesn’t allow stacking anymore, clockwork nightmare for example. Now a lot of players find this kind of enemy “difficult”, because you have to understand what’s going on and react properly instead of standing there, hacking and slaying the boss down. (i don’t use zerker gear for every class though, but that’s just me).

The “skipping” is a direct response to the loot system, that doesn’t feel rewarding because it is way too easy getting a full exotic. If you once have a full exotic, there really is no reason anymore wasting time with silver mobs. (i like to fight them though, but that’s just me.)

At least i just can repeat some other posters: open your own lfg with you own rules.

You see what i mean OP?

you get why i was offended and had a weird feeling u will post on forums?

this game is 2 years old, there are a lot of things that you might have not noticed or experienced yet.

honestly i don’t care what you say in-game but after posting on the forums where you know, kinda indirectly pointing fingers to other players saying they exploit, being elitist etc, is just not acceptable.

trust me, any one player in any game including yourself, when for no reason, gets pointed at, wrongly accused, judged by biased judgements, regardless if they are named or not, in-game or in forums, you have to expect retaliation for doing such a thing.

don’t give what you wouldn’t like to receive. period.

regardless again of all those posts that i just kinda didnt bother to read, simply blinked thru.

MAIN POINTS from all this posts are easily summed up in a few words.

First of all, Understand the game.

Secondly, Try, Try, Try and experience, ASK if not sure.

finally, post on forum with legit overall unbiased view.

if you don’t put in effort to understand, nobody will bother with anything you say because everything that come out from an empty jar will always be nothing.

accept hints, people don’t purposely make you aware of things in different ways provocative or not.

but from all my experience ingame i have imo, the best way to make someone understand, is to make fun of them and provoke, so they avoid being the joke.

sometimes they get it, sometimes they dont.

Just me speaking here, but I personally feel like this is the worst way to communicate and make someone understand. I usually think that being well mannered and positive works really well… OH and knowing when to just walk away from a conversation well before it comes to butting heads.

For people that you walk away from, it’s best to just let them experience things on their own… far far away from you.

hmm, yea. i used to leave groups and they whisp me calling me an kitten… idk, have tried so many times to make it a decent run when it turns into a 2 hour run..

have tried to explain whole mechanic, explain which skills can be used to avoid, or simply just tell them to stand and watch and etc.

even resorted to do the first bit, play a warrior and dont give portals if mesmer… then explain how to.. but yea people either just leave when fail, or whisp me kitten etc.

basically im kinda done with this kinda stuff after this dude, last straw has been drawn tbh.

things i dont really mind doing dungeons,

minion master necro staff1 spam.
dual pistol thiefs only spam 1 and 3.
guardian perma staff spam 1,
ele perma staff fire 1,
engi perma rifle/pistol 1.
warrior perma hammer 1
mesmer perma gs1
ranger bear and bow max range skill 1.

things i mind most.

hint: hey, you can do this, u do more damage, take less damage, and can be supported by group. also makes us all take lesser damage because we can control the situation.

reply: f off i play how i want.

meh, i wonder how many times i got reported for skipping mobs now… or telling them how to avoid taking damage/dying.

edit, by making fun of them abit like trolling but not with ill intention. more like,

LOOK! DODGE, AWW U DEAD! scrub~ :P
nvm try again later. no big deal. kitten happens.

My take on situations:

I don’t mention a thing and let them die a couple of times, then ask in party chat, “Hey, mind if I make a few suggestions? Might be helpful for this fight/run/whatever.”

If they say, “No, we got it” or anything of the sort, I’ll keep my mouth shut. Anytime I’ve given advice, people have been appreciative, but I always make sure to ask them if they want advice before giving it.

hmm, agree too usually do it, unless they go “ima dung master i dang exp!” xD

lol, yeah, I can’t say I agree with ridiculing to get results, but godkitten do I understand the frustration that causes it. I try to be helpful and point out some alternate perspectives, start a dialog, show them that I understand their frustrations and suggest ways around it.

Makes me sad when they just reply with more blind rage, completely ignoring the entirety of any helpful feedback.

At the end of the day, a lot of folks just want to Q_Q. Can’t really do anything to help them :-/

“I play how I want and everyone else should play my way too!”
