Guild Wars 2

Lets see what we have here:
- still no fractal collection
- still no fractal skin chest
- hitboxes are still buggy
- engi is still op in pvp
- world bosses are even more of a chore
- more limits on traits
- guardian only meta in pve
- insufferable lags on events
- blatantly overpriced expansion
- no hope for new dungeons (since anet has no dungeon team anymore)
- lion’s arch now looks like a holiday resort

Way to kill all the hype around the patch and everything. Pretty depressing.
I’ve had this game since beta, hell I even had guild wars 1 on release day which I played for 7 years and I must say right now is the worst time to play guild wars. RIP inactive players coming back.

Bye bye then I guess.

Your stuff. Give it to me.

There are other games out there with absolutely no flaws, bugs, op classes, etc.. Just let us know its name when you find one.

Oddly enough I was fizzling pretty kitten GW2, especially with so many good single player games out.

This patch has renewed my interest in playing.

Fractal collection? Who cares…

Fractal skin chest? Who cares… (would be nice though, I must admit)

Buggy hit boxes? Like on world bosses? I have yet to fail any world bosses besides a PUG Teq, so who even cares.

Engi OP in PvP? Maybe, but only if they are good. I still own the average engi. Balance on this would be nice, though.

World bosses more of a chore? Really? The 5min AFK/auto attack fest was a chore to you before? I’m not sure what wouldn’t be a chore then…

More limits on traits? I feel the exact opposite. I find the new trait system gives far more freedom than it ever did. Taking stats out of the equation makes it so nice to swap your traits around to whatever you want and not have to worry about getting gear to match your build.

Guardian meta is due to broken symbolic avenger trait….but I’m sure you already knew that and wanted to simply add to your list of personal grievances.

Lag at events? At world bosses I’m guessing? Haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary. Certainly not insufferable lag, unless your computer is sub-par. (I recently built a new beast computer so I’m a bit snobby on this right now haha)

Blatantly over priced? $50 which includes the entire original game is blatantly over priced? You don’t even know all of the HoT features, how can you even claim it is blatantly overpriced…

No hope for new dungeons? That remains to be seen. Would love new dungeons personally. You nor anyone else has enough information to claim no hope.

I love the way Lion’s Arch looks…so….that’s, like, your opinion, man.

Hey!You outstrip me

really no fractal collection- if you look up the mastery that have been shown in the HoT betas you’ll notice 1 of those mastery is to do with fractals….

No fractal skin chest- how far have you played in fractals as every now and then there is fractal weapon skins drop as part of the daily end rewards (could get acsended rings/infused versions instead)

Hit boxes buggy- are you trying to hit the head with a sword or a gun?? i’ve not come across anything that suggests the hit boxes are buggy there has been a few times where you can stack and attack a hit box while the creature is in flying/landing animation ie teq and the claw of jormag fights.

Engi still op in pvp – people are still working out new builds and ways to use the new trait/specializations. and so far i’ve had more trouble against actually good players than the supposed meta

World bosses a chore? – so you don’t like that they gave the world bosses more hp to combat the 2-3 minute fights that the new condi update made them in to so they are back to similar times as before and world bosses haven’t changed much for a while and if you don’t know or understand the mechanics they can seem to be a ‘chore’ cause you can’t just spam one on them all, all the time.

Guardian meta in pve – can’t say i’ve seen this at all and that trait that was mentioned symbolic avenger could of been done before by actually equipping those couple of traits it was before they got bundled together in to one, also the ‘feel my wraith’ elite shout on a couple of guardians together in a party can keep quickness up making the fights quick and no need for time warp.

Lag on events- is more to do with your system and connection unless your in a map that has a zerg fest like the old ancient karka queen fight but you don’t get that much these days

Overpriced expansion – this is your choice if you want to pay for it or not the price isn’t going to change at least not until after the expansion has long been released. The core game is a freebie to the new accounts and is not part of the cost as they have stated, so it might feel over priced cause of how it was stated but we don’t have the full details of the expansion yet to make this judgement at the moment and the same with the dungeons.

As for LA looking like a resort I also had that feeling from the low res video (they needed to make it better res to get a feel for the place) and from the area you start in but once you get past there and even attempt the jumping puzzle you realize how much effort was put in to it and the different city/town like parts there is to it.

Try not to ride the hype train you will be more excited with out it and come back and have a look closer to the time which is possibly around the anniversary of GW2 release (this is an estimate)

I don’t think any old GW2 players will return, plus some current players who are quitting. The population will definitely shrink.
