Guild Wars 2

Ooh, a break from the usual anti-zerk PHIW threads! Looks like we’ll be having fun with TP entitlement today: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Blatant-TP-manipulation

The inevitable binge playtrough and realizing it’s 5am during work week and I’d need to be at there in about 3 hours. Would be worth it tho.

So did my first shiphand thing or whatever it is… lots of fun, felt like Dynasty warriors rushing through and getting ultra kills. Have to say I wish I gave that game more of a chance before, still not a big fan of a lot of stuff, but the content… ohh the content, just such perfection.

*unless it’s an MMO. I will be so sad if they try that. (I’d still get it though >.<)

Stupid timer ran out, and they didn’t change anything up or give us any more info. I guess I should go rage on the bethesda forums about communication? :-P

I think you’re getting close to protogames academy. It’s just a tutorial, but it gives a good showcase of what their engine can do. BTW, are you going tank or DPS?

Idk what’s happening with the site now but the header gave me Fallout 4 on my mobile.

#AllAboardTheHypeTrain!

EDIT: THERE’S A TRAILER FOR IT!

EditEdit: War, war never changes.

Looks so freaking sexy. Now to wait until 6/14 for some real info \o/

Nice trailer, I like how they did it.

Edit for your edit edit, I broke out a giant smile when I heard that line

Been going DPS, I can switch it right?

Yep, AFAIK, it’s just a matter of gear, skill, and amp choices.

I might try tank stalker at some point, it sounds like an interesting combo. But right now I’m full ar//tard.

Boston confirmed, you can see this at 1:57: http://www.inetours.com/Photographs/images/Boston/FT-Paul-Revere_7815.jpg

Also, amazon is listing 12/31/2015 as the release date, but that sounds like a placeholder.

after your first few pulls in GA you will never look back

W*… do you have to grind a lot in order to play dungeons? At least is what i heard on the begning…Is still like this?

By the way, in fractals is my RNG or I always got a couple of good rewards and then nothingness and then a couple of good rewards and then nothingness and then a couple of good rewards and then nothingness…

Question for you — The one complaint I’m hearing that seems to be getting some traction about the Whiteside server is that the endgame seems to be very group focused, and that after hitting endgame, there isn’t much to do solo.

Would you agree with that? Personally, I wouldn’t care, I’ll just play ESO (OR FALLOUT 4 YAY) for solo stuff and WS to raid shrugs I’m just curious if there’s something to help people who are also looking for more solo gameplay get past that blocker.

I’m still leveling, but here’s my perspective:

I got to the first dungeon in about 10-12 hours, and enjoyed the questing to get there. There’s a lot to take in and those early hours help you learn the systems. It didn’t feel grindy at all to me, but I tend to not grind to endgame and enjoy the little stories and explore the world a bit as I level. If you just want to jump in and start doing instances, you may find it a tad grindy, but better than say, FFXIV or ArcheAge.

I’m with ya on the concern dlonie, but at the same time I think it’s a good idea, have the MMO focus on you know… multiplayer?

I can always load up the seemingly infinite amount of single player games on steam if I want to just chill out by myself.

Agreed At the moment I see shiphands, alting, and housing as the soloplay options, but that’s about it.

Also everyone wants to play Chua, but…stupid factions. I don’t see how any MMO thinks factions are a good idea >.< Here’s hoping Carbine will go all Rift and dissolve them at some point. Maybe as part of the next drop?

Too many anti-zerker threads lately. Spoj and I can’t do it all. Reinforcements needed.

Vayne has been eating up all of my PvF resources saying that GW2 shouldn’t add instanced content because OMG BOUND LOOT. headdesk

Link? I haven’t seen any antizerks in gen disc lately.

It was the rev zerk thread in HoT. Think we pretty much shut that one down though.

#smallVictories

Oh…I haven’t even looked at the HoT subforum, and didn’t plan on it.

Is it a cesspool? I’ll bet its a cesspool.

Edit: lol, the best threads are the ones where they leave obvious typos in the thread title: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/revenant-prepartions-zerker-style

Some one needs to brush up on their solo/duo play apparently

Sure, share links. Never tired of a good ol’ fight!

Pick your poison:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/revenant-prepartions-zerker-style

And yes, it’s a cesspool >.<

Got the arah recipe… now that I barely play. GeeGee!
I bet I’m gonna drop a precursor the day I decide to stop playing for good <.<

I can’t pvf atm, I keep getting reported by spoj cus he doesn’t want to be called spojski necro immigrant. The kitten.

xD

Id never report you gabbo!

I should stop following links to other sections of the board. Gives me a headache every time.

Omg >.<

:D yeah I stayed out of the rev one, too much fun in the others.

But, I’m all for diversity, as long as it isn’t forced diversity. Make content that makes me want to look at other options and is actually fun, it absolutely can be done.

That’s what they want though: forced diversity. Forced gear pigeonholing. We already have diversity and we’d have even more if content were more demanding. For instance, if it required perfect timing on water fields to blast and survive blablabla thingsalreadysaid.
But then scrubs like them wouldn’t even get past the first boss…

Aye, if you put out content that actually stressed us enough to consider bringing mitigation and healing stuff beyond what is inherent to our builds… well, GL to those that are crying currently.

But, like just speed Lupi up by like 50% and suddenly it’d be pretty hard to keep up with dodges (ignoring reflect abuse), and some healing to counter missteps would surely be nice, and a little extra passive defense on some professions may be warrented for less skilled individuals.

Basically I think just generally harder versions of what we have now would go a long way.

I’m craving for an UW map with a scaling system like Weth once said, or at least something similar…. sob…
I don’t know if introducing an entry fee like for Urgoz/deep would be good. Not sure.
Gahhh whatever why am I wasting breath [fingers] when they’re never gonna implement anything remotely close to it. Pfft.
Open wurlllld! Huzzah!

deSade.9437:

The first boss in the first dungeon of Wildstar requires the entire party to essentially synchronize CC to strip defiance and interrupt a heavy attack that will wipe the party.

No wonder the bulk of the GW2 playerbase hated it.

Yeah, I find it quite funny how much PHIWs herald any change that will affect the meta regardless. I foresee much crying about the breakbar when they realize that they now have to time attacks correctly instead of just pew pew.

It won’t matter, because there will be no open world bosses that requires cc focusing. All the wyvern does, if you fail, is to take flight and chill out for a few seconds…

Someone slap me, slap my kittening hands HARD…. I must… not… post… in the general discussion.
I…
Must…
Not…
Post…
Ugh!

I need to go back to sleep, kitten. But it’s too hot <.<

General chat is for trolling or wasting time, nothing constructive ever happens there.

oh my god, another chua?

fracture.9754:

Yea \o/

Message Body length must at least be 15.

Another filthy dommie! Glad you joined us

Yowee.

Doods, I’ve just found out my dad is a PHIW. What should I do?

“Well, the rev’s dps sucks, but it may work as a tank”.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee /splash

Corrupt his save file!

Hmmmm, well that explains a lot.

Kazul.

I almost died from laughing, their wording in the opening line(s) was so funny

we’ve discussed a legend and weapon set that are focused on defense and survivability, as well as a more condition-focused setup. Now we’ll be going over the healing-focused setup for the revenant

It’s almost like ANet doesn’t know their own game

Oh well, maybe there will be another one that will actually focus on power based damage?

No, they know it, they just don’t care at all about the things we do. I’m sure what they’ve talked about is making many PVP/WvW folks happy as well as the little snowflakes.

fracture.9754:

Man, you guys are doing really good job at promoting Wildstar. When I hear devs talk about this game it becomes very obvious nobody plays this game at all*.

*Doing one heart quest per month isn’t the same as playing the game.

I’m looking at you reaper, you sad excuse of a specialization you. Give a class lots of fear, but because you don’t want to actually fear give the class lots of chill. That’s borderline moronic.

Nobody is talking about other games around here!

We’re talking about the GW2 Server Whiteside!

Casuals are already drooling over the newest revealed Revenant Lenged: Ventari, Healing Power. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/38ih79/revenant_compassion_as_a_way_of_life/crv9jkb

Quoting some:

PHIW 1: “Healing Power looks like it could be very exciting in HoT! and the inclusion of a brand new purely support play style for the Revenant, I’m really hoping that ArenaNet is working on making investing in Healing Power on other classes viable in any game mode”

PHIW 2: “This looks like it’s going to require a really high level of skill to use effectively!”

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

It’s going to require a high level of griefing to put your party in need of healing :^)

That moment you are browsing the PHIWs threads in General Discussion, pressing the repply button and when you’re just about to write a wall of text just to explain that guy what he fails to understand, you go: “heh.. kitten it.” And then you close the tab.

Life is made of these precious bits.

So we can safely assume that 90% of the Revenants in Pugs are going to be heal based. Woohoo.

As for Wildstar, you get 10 days for free, then you gotta pay (as of now), right?

Tell me about it.

Anyway, I wanted to discuss something with the dungeon crabs.
There’s… well, this “something” is kinda eating at me, like a brain itch, and I’m trying to form my feelings into thoughts.
I know I can be very verbose when I’m talking “serious”, but this time…

Are they pushing for a holy trinity?

Are they making it so that people are led to believe they’re pushing for a holy trinity?
If so, why? 1. they want to push for “diversity”? 2. to calm people down and appease trinity cultists? 3. massive change in focus, with more attention given to non-rigid heal/tank roles? (by non rigid I mean “open to multiple classes with diverse setup”)

Are we gonna see content with rigid trinitism?

Are we gonna see another nerf to damage and a direction towards unsustainable fights, so it requires a 1 soaker/1 healer or 2 healers team composition?

I’m confuzzled.
For a bit, I thought it was all in my head as usual, but now… I think it’s because anet keeps giving strange signals that I can’t interpret and leave me, uh, confuzzled.

What’s up with all this strange shifting and shuffling around.

To be fair if a small amount of group sustain becomes necessary i wont be too bothered by it. Reaper vampiric aura meta?
