Guild Wars 2

i read a couple of the stuff about people getting angry that theres no Trinity and how the trinity is “needed”.

when ever i read it i feel like i am getting bald by the second with how it gets me angry.
(and i have long hair.)
First off as a dedicated healer and support charecter in most games, i feel like either Gaurdian or Elementalist have enough incoming healing props to make them heal
and make the Gaurdian tank enough on the side even with a staff. (yes even with a staff)
second, i find myself in almost every party with atleast 1 or 2 more players have a regeneration ability or another ability that keep the party on their feet.
So it would be easier if a Gaurdian or a Warrior would rush to keep other mobs busy while you bash the mists out of a specific monster.
i find myself dodging enough using roll to protect myself from a high massive attack or getting an aegis or a some protection that protects me from incoming projectile to survive enough in a party i see no reason to have the trinity.
I think alot of players who are dedicated healers or tankers feel more free in the game to try and be more aggresive or more at the back of the party to try do other things.

So i really thank Anet for showing how much you don’t need the trinity.

Amen. They created a system that puts more emphasis on skill than gear, breaks monotonous 1-2-3-4-5 tank n’ spank gameplay, and exposes the baddies when they come here and complain about it being hard. It’s a multi-win!

@Dusk

I cant tell if sarcastic.

Not sarcastic in the least.

It’s two different systems. The thing with the trinity is that it’s been done to death so GW2’s system is a breath of fresh air.

People just aren’t used to change. Everyone is so used to the trinity group mechanic that they get frustrated when grouping and their old tricks dont working. The people complaining need to learn to adapt. I think it’s about time MMOs did away with that tired group mechanic.

non trinity been done to death, since MMOs started with non trinity in the first place and moved away from it.

I still believe Dusk is being sarcastic. Stealth trolling.

He’s not. Most people I’ve played with don’t want the trinity at all, so Dusk’s opinion is pretty standard in my experience.

try an entire instance party of mesmers.
so much fun

Still a trinity of sorts, Tanky/support, healing/support and glass cannon

The system that GW2 puts forward is a very fresh approach to MMO’s and I think you would be hard pressed to prove your assertion of non-trinity in any older than 2004 MMO that had any sort of popularity as the classes and role of each class were extremely specific.

BTW Knighthonor , after reviewing your posts I think there truly is a troll in here …but its not dusk.

What other MMO’s have done non-trinity combat, Knight?

/me waits patiently for Knight to list a bunch of multiplayer RPG’s that aren’t MMO’s.

Also, Darkdawns, if I ever saw you doing that in my dungeon group, I’d kick you out for being dead weight after I let the mobs rock you for trying that crap. You don’t just walk into a dungeon doing minimal damage and complete forsake control and support. That just makes you little more than a spot that could be filled by a player that’s actually good.

lol hard? i just hold my s key while pressing a and d and let auto attack on rifle do the rest.

You actually admit that? You are basicly letting the others carry you. GJ
