Guild Wars 2

-zerker meta does more harm then good
-meta in general is poison and people who use it cant think for themselfes
-sylvari got horrible annoying over the past year and i dont care about their angsts
-costumes are a horrible waste of ressources that could be used for armor skins
and armors with class “personality” rather then luck warm “this could be made for
(insert class here)” Put some gears, knives, ankhs, skulls and stuff on armors god darn it
-legendary gs are beyond ugly and look like surfboards with magic and hilt
-thraherne is worlds better then the LS “team”… and he still sucks balls
-scarlet is cooler then the whole LSs2… she was atleast goofy insane and fun

-NEXON has no sway over GW2

If the current Nexon/NCSOFT spat shows us anything is that Nexon has never been in a position to call shots on anything NCSOFT did.

And before you bring up Ms Cox again remember that 1) she was a former ANet employee; 2) she was hired 3 months before Nexon bought any NCSOFT stock.

So.

Skyhammer is popular for players who haven’t bothered to figure out that secondary objectives are, in fact, secondary and fail badly on other maps because they forget to rotate through points.

People who hate the meta don’t understand the meta or why metas exist.

“Play How I Want” is a motto for stubborn people who think being different somehow makes them superior.

If you criticize something without trying it (whether that be meta builds, game modes, or anything else), you don’t deserve to come here and complain about it. You don’t deserve that audience.

I think you mistook the name of the thread. It is called unpopular OPINIONS, not unpopular FACTS.

This picture sums up your post pretty well.

hehe, don’t deGrasse me bro!

-Scarlet was a great villain
-Commanders should have to go through an IQ test before they are able to buy their tag

I actually agree with these 2.

Also I have some unpopular opinion to share as well.

- Logan and Rytlock already vowed for their marriage during Church of Flame instance,
- Jennah is actually an illusion created by Anne, that the real Queen died a long time ago during an assassination hosted by the minister.
- Trehearne is the mastermind behind everything. (He defeated Zhaitan so that Mordremoth can get the magical power of Zhaitan and becomes stronger.)
- Trehearne has good voice acting.

At Tequatl: Numbers in specific locations don’t make Champions spawn.

Note: despite this being true, its still unpopular

-Twilight, Sunrise and Eternity are ugly and tacky, they are also paper textures, therefore not worth a single copper to me.
-I refuse to take berserkers in my team. I use soldiers, and I do more DPS than berserkers, because I don’t die. Dead people do less DPS than living ones.
-Condi warrior is better than direct damage warrior.
-Engineer is boring, and it’s lack of continuity in it’s theme annoys me.
-Why is all heavy armour platemail? Give me something lighter looking.
-I hate Caithe, I hope she dies brutally during Heart of Thorns.
-I smiled when the pact fleet got shot down.
-I want Braham and Rox to be the first interracial relationship in GW2
-Humans have no reason to exist, they need to go extinct already. They’re a dying race.
-The LS2 achievements were too difficult (The hardest one took 6 HOURS to do.)
-Necromancer is very good in PVE, you just can’t play it for kitten.
-Wallet warrior and proud. My real life time is worth more than my money.
-Mawdrey II is too expensive and time consuming to get. It should be a basic tool.
-Im glad Revenant doesn’t get unique storylines. I don’t want it to be the special snowflake profession.
-Players with non lore-friendly names annoy me.
-Im glad the Zephyrites got shot down and died horribly. I never liked them.
-WvW is really boring. EotM is better.
-I will never again do Fractals. I hate it with every fibre of my being.
-I don’t mind Charr clipping. In some particular gear, its better than non-clipping.
-I laughed when I saw Belinda’s corpse.
-The POI livestream makes me crindge sometimes, because most of the devs have horrible social skills and can’t talk on camera. “Whats that, Mr. Dev? You think your new update will succeed? I would believe you if your voice wasn’t quivering.” Rubi is ok though, shes a boss.

Mea.5491:

1. Legendaries are ugly and they are a waste of time and money.

2. Underwater exploration is fun!

3. Human characters are boring and overrated.

I actually agree with all of the above!

Legendaries are not all ugly, but they’re a waste of time and money yes.

Some underwater maps are actually GORGEOUS. It is very worth exploring.

Human characters have the most boring personal story of all GW2 contents, so yes, their lores are boring as hell.

What I find most interesting is the Sylvari’s and Asura’s story.

Unloveableone.6082:

-Season 1 was much better than Season 2

Sorry, gotta agree with this one for realsies. Season 1 had Super Adventure Box, Season 2 did not. No contest, Season 1 wins.

Every class but mesmer and thief take absolutely no thought to play in PVP.

Notice I said thought, not skill. You just piano your keyboard as every class except mesmer/thief.

Charr will never be master race.

- the game needs really fast mounts/vehicles + free WPs
- the game has too many races & classes already – remove at least half of them to make it easier for newbies
- everyone should get 1 free legendary weapon (or at least precursor) for every char they complete the storyline with
- the game needs to be more like WoW
- ANet should change the business model to F2P
- GW2 should be developed with casual PvE solo players in mind first & foremost!

duck & ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I wish I could replay season 1 I never did it, and wasn’t around for it. I was delaying on season 2 because I didn’t want to just jump into the second book without reading the first.

I did, and didn’t understand what was going on at first. Who the people are or really anything that was going on.

This is a thread about unpopular opinions, not things that are blatant lies.

It has been scientifically proven that charr is the master race of not just this game, but in the history of gaming.

Asura is master race.*

Goedulf is way better than Gwynefyrdd.
Queensdale train was fun to relax, now I mostly AFK when I don’t feel like doing anything.
Oh, almost forgot another one: you did not fail that Breach champ or Vinewrath champ because of those 4 defeated players.

- Tybalt is not the only memorable character in the personal story (kittening Shieran).
- armour design is underwhelming 90% of the time and most legendary weapons are too clowny (looking at you, Quip, Dreamer and Moot).
- legendary weapons should not be farmable and not be sellable.
- the colouring system is awesome but players have no artistic sense (seriously, everytime I see someone in pure black & white because those are “the most expensive colours” or unicoloured -pink comes to mind- the need to strangle something living increases drastically).
- mobs in dungeons should never lose aggro and rush runs are a blight.

Not sure if unpopular:

- while the premise for the elder dragon story is very well layed out the actual story line and lore is a borefest and illogical or downright childish sometimes. They missed thousands of interesting opportunities here just to take the safest and most boring road (“dragons and all their minions are >>undeniably and irreversibly evil ™<< and try to destroy us all, let’s unite and never mention our eon-long grudges again”).
- that said, the story around Destiny’s Edge is actually well thought out. Too bad you only see that one advance in the dungeons really (which are pretty bad when compared to other RPG’s -bar the path system, it’s cool and refreshing).
- sPvP is bullkitten, all people do is running straight for the points for capture, no real fight, always flight (maybe because noob tier pubs).

Hmm.7902:

- Tybalt is not the only memorable character in the personal story (kittening Shieran).

But .. but .. Trahearne ..

1. The running animation was fine.
2. The idle animations were fine.
3. Clothing was fine.

Please don’t, I’m trying to block out those memories.

THE HORRORS!!

- Trahearne is the character that everyone loves
- Logan isn’t a chicken after all
- PUGS actually know their paths in dungeons
- Brahms has a brain to use
- CM is the most hardest dungeon to run

And I’m not going to repeatedly mention that everyone but me cares about getting more hunter pets. Really I’m not.

Drow.2081:

And I’m not going to repeatedly mention that everyone but me cares about getting more hunter pets. Really I’m not.

Polar opposite here, I think the ranger class shouldn’t have a pet at all, like in every other darn MMO, it should just be that lone wolf bowman/woodman class, and leave the companion thing to the necros. The pet literally is the only reason why I don’t have a ranger.

This. I hate forced pets.
Hunters in WoW. Rangers on this.
I can’t stand them. I really don’t understand why they’re forced to have them. It turns the class into a snooze fest. When I play a Ranger class I want to feel like an archer. A bowman.
Not a zookeeper.

Gotta play asian MMO’s for proper archers, for some reason western MMO’s think archer = pet class.

- Sylvari need less focus, they’re smothering the other races.

- Logan Thackary is a complete moron

- the Human Storyline is garbage

- Caithe needs to stop being edgy and mysterious, that’s the player’s trope.

- Norn are way to happy-go-lucky to be intimidating

- Revenants channeling GW1 characters is just a nostalgia circle-jerk

- Legendaries are overrated, I just want the skins.

- I think the Toxic Alliance and Molten Alliance are the coolest villains of the game

- There’s a centaur war? oh! right, the human story doesn’t even mention it.

- Warriors are boring

- Ellen Kiel never deserved to be part of the captain’s council

I’ll add in some bonus ones to account for the popular views, and I’ll make them bold and brave

- I actually enjoy Rangers

- Crafting Items for Lengendaries shouldnt force you to do WvW/PvP

- Dailies/Laurels should return to their original concept

- Get rid of transmutation tokens, if outfits can be worn without needing constant maintenance so should skins.

Time for more lore ones!

• The Flame Legion can actually control the searing effigy
• Caithe had a good reason for loving Foalain
• Logan is actually the sexiest man alive
• The Sons of Svanir should still totally exist as a faction after farmers killed off 9,000,000,000 of them at Coil
• The Lion Statue was stupid and deserved to be blown up
• I cannot, in fact, outrun a centaur
• Agent Spire could totally fit that huge door buster cannon in her pocket
• Scarlet’s face was nice but she was a terrible dresser

Khal Drogo.9631:

WvW is about tactical ability sometimes and not who has the slightly bigger blob. Not that servers have any incentives to win recently.

As someone that has given up on WvW and has been on TC since launch, I disagree.
I quit because the commanders refuse to use tactics and simply push their blobs into the other. I even called this out earlier this week in map chat and people told me(I’m not making this up) “tactics are boring. this is much more fun”

We then proceeded to lose Stonemist Castle.

Like he said, there is no incentive to win, but it is always satisfying to win large scale fights specially when you’re outnumbered. A lot more happens in those fights than what most people come to say on the forums…

Keg Brawl has e-sports potential.

Agree with this.

I mean they’re still dunce cap losers who like feeling the floor with their face, but they’re not the major reason the event failed.

Yes they suck and they’re not helping, but no, 99% of the time they’re not the major reason your Silverwastes map failed to kill a breach champion or VW.

If we’re going to be unpopular, let’s at least be honest.

When it’s four people in a room of dead players, then you can safely say it was because of those useless finks players. Though I hope it never comes to that.

- Most of the armor designs in this game are awful, almost purely because of how similar each armor looks within it’s class. It’s also very Flamboyant. I’m pretty sure the entire armor art department are females. Generally speaking, GW1 had drastically better armor. (Obligatory: trenchcoats and butt-skirts).

-Putting X’s in your name to use a name already taken makes you look like a child.

-Most current legendaries look like poorly made high-school musical props.

-Hearts are just renamed quests.

-Roughly 95% of all head armor looks repulsive on Charr and Asura.
