The new Addon is horrible. It’s only a Jump and Run game now because killing enemies and making Event don’t give enough EXP for the Elite Specialisatzion. Also farming World Skills to continue the Story is bad. This game also Needs KI Companions like in Guild Wars 1. It sucks to be at a Group Hero Point and None on the map helps.

Elite Specializations require no XP, only Hero Points. I think the only Mastery needed for the story is Gliding, which isn’t too difficult to get for most.

Henchman/Heroes probably wouldn’t work, except in instances. (Hiding Heroes/Henchman due to rising population would be unfortunate.)

There are heaps of masteries needed for the story, gliding, mushrooms, nuloch warrens Frog knowledge Auric knowledge and more…

Its incredibly gated content.

^^ That’s a pretty interesting view from someone that has as much problems as you do in HoT. Very unrepresentative of what the general population experiences.

The OP’s claims makes such little sense, I can’t even respond to it. Sounds like it’s a jump and run game to him because he chooses to not fight mobs, then turns around and complains he can’t get enough XP to progress for stuff. Really? I can’t believe he’s serious.

Makes perfect sense, tyria maps are mostly flat, HoT maps are very akin to a jumping puzzle, all over the place.

And its very akin to the general populations issues, every day players are complaining about hot in chat, and on here, but you’re so close minded you cannot or do not want to see it.

Obviously customers that do see issues with the game are berated and harassed on here told they are wrong and ignored, why on earth would they even bother on this forums.

Most just leave, look at the populations decrease and the forum threads decrease.

There is nothing sensible about someone who avoids killing mobs because they don’t give enough XP, turns around complains that they aren’t getting XP and the game is jumping and running.

If the OP is having problems finding places to kill mobs in HoT, I question the sincerity of their whole complaint. If there is one thing HoT does have, it’s a large volume of events and mobs everywhere to kill for XP. The complaint itself is just silly.

I think you are mistaken. Perhaps, you’ve not yet done the Story. I can only remember needing to glide in one episode.

Good luck.

Actually you need exalted lore to even enter the quest hope something. But other than gliding and that. Even my brother who plays rarely got that mastery from doing tarir meta once.

Oh and also to OP, this is neither a hack and slash or a Jump and run game, this is an MMOrpg. Many players do not like games where you run in a straight line mashing buttons like crazy, some people like games where you have to be carefull and plan your progress, some enemies are not meant for you to be fought alone. Also there are very little complex jumps in HoT, mostly it is about gliding but even then it is mostly in verdant brink the other maps has specific gliding and mushrooms just to get to mastery points and maby a few HPs.

I see a lot of content too hard in HoT but I want to say, don’t destroy what is now all okay, no more nerfs too HoT. I don’t want to see zerk meta and afk farmers in HoT.

More Hack&Slay?
Sure, so we have even more mapcleaning, boring zergtraings.
Gw2 is no hack&slay-Title, so dont implement more hack&slay in it.

Ki-Companions like Gw1?
Besides Fraktals/dungeons/pvp you can do 99% of the game solo.
Most Part of Gw2 Core, especally non rewarding trashmobbing is boring easy.
And now you want Gw1-Heros, so you dont need other players anymore, for the last 1% and making all the rest even more boring easy?
Wy playing an MMO then anyway?

Most Players out there DONT want to play with other people.
They just horde up, when some interresing pops up, but not for playing together, but for the reward or just farming.
And the game is made for people playing togehter.
Give them all their own “Heros”, and you kill the entire concept of the game.

Lol i killed all Mobs while Walking around but they don’t give enough EXP. Killing Trash and doing Events takes hours and days to get 1 Hero Point earning it by EXP. I hate it that you get crazy 10 Hero Points from those Events in 1 Minute. So Jump and Run in this game is better for earning Hero Points than killing and doing Events.

You do not get HP from leveling. There are lots of HPs that you can do solo, if there is a HP that is to hard for you, ask for help if there is no help go to the next one. You get to spend your MPs by leveling, let’s say gliding costs one MP but you still have to level up gliding before you can spend that MP and mushroom jumping costs let’s say 4 MP, so you will have to level up to mushroom jumping and then have enough MPs to buy it.

HP = Hero Points, to gain traits an skills. MP = mastery points ,to unlock masteries like gliding and exalted teachings.

Enemies gives you a few experience but events and meta events gives you lots, at the “low levels” a single meta event round usually gives you enough experience to level up, not only that but it gives you troves with loot.

To me it sounds like you just want to rush the game and get everything asap but what good is that? Enjoy the content of the game, explore that maps, follow the stories of the events, stumble upon a chest that not only grants you an MP but some loot, repeat the story to earn new achievements and much more. There are so much in the game that gaining experience should be a small problem.

Not sure what the emphasis is on gaining exp. Quite a while ago, you used to get a point (of something – my memory is terrible so I’ve actually forgotten what those “somethings” were ) but not anymore.

HoT is a level 80 playground to gain MP’s and HP’s and other good stuff; I harvested a mother of pearl yesterday so I’m ripping up mussels left, right and centre for two more so I can craft a Needler for my ranger.

I think you need to go back and do the story again, at each point read the top corner for what is needed in each quest, there are many..

Being a returnee i’ve had to level heaps of masteries to continue my story, it actually tells you what is needed to complete the next mission.

You are somewhat correct, you need the first Nuhoch (Bouncing Mushrooms) and the second Gliding (Updraft), for a total of 3 story episodes. I’m not sure that can be considered ‘heaps of masteries’, but I suppose it may be more difficult for some of us to fill the 3 lines.

Thank you for your contribution. =)

Wow those first couple masteries fill so fast you can get them done with a couple of the early events in VG. Some people really just want to turn their brains off and press 1 again like in Core Tyria. Sad to see such low energy players on here.

Again, what ARE you going on about? You can’t complain you aren’t getting XP fast enough in this game if you take the slowest approach to getting XP. Did you do the meta and the events associated with the zone you were in? Did you eat XP food and use your XP boosters the game showers you with? Did you not learn from your experience leveling in Core that your main XP doesn’t come from killing random mobs? Clearly you did not, otherwise you would have more XP than you know what to do with because the more difficult part is getting the mastery points, not the XP.
