Guild Wars 2

I seem to have no problem with it!

Look what I can do at lv 1 (and 2)!

I can dodge!
I can trade at lv 1!
I can look very stylish!
I can even go to vistas and get credit! (and they are on my mini map at lv 2)

I am even a commander at lv 2!!

I’ll have more later.

I started a new character also and don’t understand why everyone is mad. Not too much has changed except now u can get loot when u lvl.

Same here.

New system could use some tweaks, but it does feel like a good change overall.

I thought you moved to ESO because this game is trash and doesnt have any updates.

People bandwagon’d without trying it themselves. They grabbed hte torches and pitchforks… and now that they fires are started many of them are afraid to try and put them out. Most of them probably havent’ even tried the stuff out for themselves. They wrote it off over ONE very very bad light of a Youtube video.

I tried it, Don’t like level gating weapon skills (feels arbitrary, the old way was better felt more fluid) I don’t like how the elite is gated at 40. I don’t like how you’re handicapped underwater until 23, how you’re handicapped in the downed state until level 19, short version is i just felt handicapped arbitrarily for no obvious reason. I wish I could have opted out of the level gating of weapon skills and kept the fluid unlocking of skills as you used the weapon.

New images:

I can use my back at any level folks! That’s right! Any level!
I can even Salvage as normal!

More to come!

Always the same on these forums. New patch, massive rage the first day, people calm down, figure stuff out, try stuff….less rage. Not no rage. Some people will still be dissatisfied but not the vast numbers that jumped on the lets bash the patch band wagon.

What bothers me is that because the NPE is so dominant, everyone ignored everything else. I’m loving some of the other changes as well.

And yes, I like the NGE as well. Thanks OP!

on the flipside I LOATHED after the millionth time having to spend a good hour or so just killing mobs to unlock my all of my skills on all my weapons so I could freely use them, that’s IF I could even find all of the weapons without having to buy them on the TP. All the while still not be a high enough level to swap my weapons or anything. It felt like wasted time… I like this new system because the level is what unlocks the slots, not me killing 30 of some mob and it unlocks them for all weapons whether I’ve found it yet or not. So really its all a matter of flavor. This is personal preference and not something ANet could never make everyone happy with.

The NPE is so dominant in peoples eyes because it changed too much, the removal of the fluid way to unlock weapon skills, the downed state being rendered useless until a later level, F1 – F4 being gated, utility and elite skills being gated to higher levels. it just feels like a way to curb botting but only hurts people that actually THINK about what they’re playing.

I personally wish there was an option to tick where people can opt out of this system so that i can go back to leveling my weapons the old way…

My problem is with the level gating on skills, which is actually there and is not something people just assumed.

Level gating on skills + the new trait system is just stupid and keeps me down unecessarily.

Once again, people complain about others ‘assuming things’ by assuming things themselves. Nice try guys.
