The animation lock in Tera has its purpose you have think which skill is best to use in given situation some skills allows you to move with, some skills move you forward, some skills have faster casting time then other, some skills cast faster after certain skills its all about decision making which in my opinion just adds another tactical element to the battle, not just circling arround boss and rotating cooldowns. Also good players in tera makes the combat soo fluid you might even know they are locked by animation…
Having said that TERA is like opposite od GW2 the leveling is horrible(GW2 has great lvling, but personal story might be better) but the end-game is what i looking for in mmos (BG, Arenas and real dungoens and raids…). Ppl say its grindy well i have the best gear in game i spend 0 real money, and it took me about 2 months to make it and fully upgrade i dont think i could say that about GW2 if i would want gear which is on par to mine in TERA. You can say but you dont need ascedent in GW2 kitten kitten , well you dont need Nighforge in TERA either, agnitor +9 player with skill will clear anything in game and i can buy that gear almost instantly as you hit max lvl. PvP have equalized gear so if your not superharcore into pvp you dont have to make pvp gear either…
People who talks about tera here sounds like they never left tower base, i have i little thing to say about this…you havent played MMO until you played it at max lvl and that goes for any MMO. TC all…
The truth is they do not stop playing they take time off and that is by design of the game. If a person say they are quitting but are not giving up there code etc.. things that let you back into the game then they are not truly quitting.
Uh, no. On September 3rd, I quit the game. “Quit,” as in “not coming back.”
The only way I would consider coming back would be if they rolled the game back to what it was at launch (and we all know they will never do that). I tolerated ascended jewelry, though only begrudgingly so. Once ascended weapons came out, and I saw what ANet intends for “progression” in this game, I was done. I had enough problems with the game before September 3rd; you can look at my post on page one of this thread to see what some of them are, if you care to. Ascended gear progression was the icing on the cake for me.
Do I miss the game? Not at all.
So by posting here your trying to achieve what? You know coming to these forums IS still part of the GW2 game in a way more so then other mmorpgs. If you can still come here and post and can still start the game up and play you not realty quit the game.
Only beacuse someone reads forums once in awhile doesnt means he still plays it. I did not played GW2 for 5+ months atleast but i read forums almost every week its a good read for my morning coffee when its mainanance in tera. But just the way this games is heading makes me 100% sure i wont come back to this “MMO” just seems like end game in GW2 is running in big bloob, some jumping kittens and LS all very bad stuffs im my eyes and lets be real…..its never going to change if you dont like what GW2 did in last half of the year i honestly dont think you will ever like GW2….
For some players might be LS reason to quit but for different reasons then missing certain parts of it. They fear that LS updates are only content which GW2 ever gets so they just said to themselves “WvW is zerg vs zerg i dont enjoy it that much, future of PvE content is LS, i dont like it that much either so what do i do for fun in this game?” ……farewell GW2….
I play TERA (korean MMO, ppl say it have alots of grind) and i can tell you GW2 is very comparable in therms of how much you have to do something repeatedly to get best (in gw2 case, arguably best looking) gear, i even dare to say GW2 is worse in some aspects…
I woudnt mind doing some open world PvE, but its just sooo bad in GW2 i have no joy doing events i have no impacts on i can die 10000x times or afk the whole thing and let other 20 people spam 1-1-1-1-1-6-1-1-1… and the result is same thats just meh and it feels very pointless and empty on the other hand when you do something challanging it feels great when you do it right beacuse it shows…
I was soo happy when we beated Shandra manaya in TERA for the first time we were undergeared, blew alots of gold on crystals and consumables, failed like 15x in 3day period and we enjoyed every single second of the beating she gave us and we got almost no drop from it, did we cared?….hell no! we didnt did that for gear, but because we just wanted to beat her and it was soooo much fun and ive honestly never experienced anything like this in GW2 everything was done because i wanted gold/skin not because i wanted to do it so bad…
I really believe if repeating the easiest stuffs over and over wouldnt be the fastest way to get items/mats (unless you are very lucky with drops), players wouldnt be soo mad…
In my opinion players want balance because theres (allegedly) no holy trifecta. Ive been playing TERA (currently weekly maintanance) since i quited GW2 and nobody cares that zerkers pulls out 1 milion criticals and some classes cant even crit for 10% of this becuase they know thier rolles.
In GW2 theres no healer or tank everybody is damage dealer with few utilities and when some class can fill this hybrid rolle better then other classes its a problem for some players which i honestly believe cant be fixed. One of the reason why i left GW2 was that there will never be high-level cooperation in PvE without trifecta…
I’m sorry, but this is a big load of BS.
Trinity isn’t needed to create teamwork.
Players were lead to believe that running things with the highest possible dps is the best, but that isn’t quite the truth. Support happens and it’s quite better!
It’s a matter of mentalities! Players shouldn’t be forced to go with a predestined class (dps, tanking or healing). In this game they can choose to be more supportive, more tankier or more dpsing, but not exclusively!
Its ok its your opinion for me game without trifecta didnt worked…Also atelast in tera its not about mentality the end game content is soo hardcore you need experienced tanks and healers (well dd have to be exp too but healers and tanks are crucial) and some ppl love those rolles so i dont think they are forced to anything
Once i tough GW2 have some hard team-work based content, then i tried Manyas Core in TERA and honestly its a whole another level compared to anything in GW2 (lvl 80 fractals are joke compared to this…)

I always thought GW2 would be much much better game if they just raised HP to all classes and removed downed state completely. Downed state in DnD: Neverwinter is perfect downed allies have small time window where you can res them (much more quickly then in GW2) and they get “downed penalty” which means you cant be res 2x in row, there has to be some time between. Also you die fairy quickly in downed state and you cant do anything except calling for help, not like in GW2 where you get couple tens of thousands HP to annoy the crap out of your oponent..
And to those of you who said human warriors are boring, for shame. Human warriors are essentially a blank canvas. Whether you want to look like the honorable knight in shining armor, the hardened savage brute, or anything between you can pull it off with style. I can’t say this of this of warriors of any other race.
I cant agree more with this. In my opinion humans have by far the best customization in gw2 you can make them look whatever you like.
Norns to me are warriors, guardians and rangers, Charrs are warriors and engineers, Sylvari pretty much anything except engineer. I left out Asuars because i just dont like pretty much everything about them (mostly theirs melee attack animations and animations in general e.g. – Asura with GS) so they dont fit to anything for me, but if you like them thats ok its yours character not mine….
Why it doesnt block his projectiles anymore? It already doesnt block all the dredges projectiles, its soo short bloomhungers attacks sometimes flyes over and hits you anyway…. Smoke screen is only thing except refuge which accualy helps others in team i dont think it needed more nerfs (it wast that good before so why nerf it more?)
You dont like farming thats OK, but how does exactly affect you if someone does? I would REALLY like to know……Imo DR and TP limit just annoys regular players and it does nothing for bots….Ane said before release that there will be items for ppl who wants to farm, but they didnt said we are gonna have 1-2 places to farm effectively in whole game….
Ah different slots on amulets ok then…wasted 40 laurels (well i can hope someday there will be acs. armor with uttility slots). Rollback would be awesome but thats too much to ask i guess
No you cant ive misread and buyed 2x MF infusion thinking i will put it into my earrings but that cant be done so i was thinking ok atleast i put 1 of them into my amulet so i dont waste 40 but only 20 lauers but nooo i cant do that either In tooltip there is nothing about infusions beeing permanent i dont know maybe it says something about it when you infusing items, either way i was really surprised i cant atelast override +5 versatile agony in my amulet….
Please let us put them over eachother…..for example if someone have +5 agony infusion in amulet he needs to buy a new amulet to put +20% magic find in it. Could we please get the option to override infusions or remove them somehow?
It wasnt bad (i dont like this CoF-Charr-Dredge theme but thats just my perference it wasnt badly done or anything like that..), but i didnt liked the last stage of the final fight it was bunch of OP abilites that werent avoidable so you were forced spam “1” at max range, not that exciting if you ask me…
Thief is meant to be highest mobility and burst class in game Anet said it! Also dont forget that pistol in main hand is just usless. SB deals no damage in PvP and WvW, CnD can counter anyone, dagger autoattck deals 2x nothing and 3rd strike is good damage (so you have to hit 2x before you get the attack which accualy deals some damage)…..but bad players see thief as perma-invis-blinking-instant-killing-machine with no CDs and unlimited resources to spam other speels….
The worse thing is that lowering detalis doesnt do a thing for me its either 50-60 fps or 20-30fps if theres alots of ppl on screen i would literaly have to lower resolution on some ridiculous 1024×768 to get stable 40-60fps. Some ppl are used to on lower fps, but sry its 2013 ~60fps is what you wanna have and 30fps borderlines with unplayable. I can play Tomb Rider maxed out (without tressFX), battlefield 3 maxed out + 2xMSAA and those games drops very rarely below 50fps yet in GW2 ive seen my fps drop to 7fps!!!!! in gigantic WvW battle i mean seroiously??? 7fps?!?!
It would take too much work i guess, but it sucks that GW2 is based arround those huge events, Guild missions and WvW but most ppl have lags because GW2 engine isnt very good for huge events and WvW which is kinda ironic
you can get The skin as rare drop from bosss chest and its tradable but its very small chance to get it i made 125 bauble bubbles in SAB and droped 1 Super Staff skin so its not really good for profit…
Toy and another Plush backback omg stop please !!!! The quiver looks amazing more things like that!! LESS things like kittenning quaggans…Please ArenaNet treat GW2 like MMO not like virtual toy shop for kids
Its pretty much always like this (not in every battleground). And if i go into any WvW i never waits i dont know if it means nobody plays or is that normal?
I dont get people with argument “I just waited for color rotation….” and that makes it OK? I mean dont you think players should be able to get it by exploring the world not by server transfers or waiting on color rotation…
Sounds to my like your own fault i wouldnt blame anyone else then you. Also if you want fast SAB skin make new character and dont stop for anything just for boss fights thats 6 bauble bubbles in few minutes (dont go 2nd world it takes too much time for 1 bauble bubble). Delete char. make new and repeat and you will get anyskin in 1-2h if you dont mind repetive tasks…..
Its gift of EXPLORATION not gift of getting keeps so i should be able to get this gift by EXPLORING not by runing for weeks in some blob. Just take vistats outside of keeps so anybody can take them…
Ok but thats situation on YOURS server you have no idea how it is on others so saying things like “you just need to do balblabla”….no! It doesnt work that way…
So server transfer and waiting for rotation yeeeey! SO MUCH FUN! Iam sure it was meant to be obtained that way….
No it is made to be obtained by people contributing in WvW. If you don’t want to put a group together to get what you need you will not get it.
Iam sure everybody got it by doing that…. -_- Are you really that naive that you think its just that simple? That on any server anyone can get group and take any vistas? I really dont think so and players should be on even ground when it comes to things like this…
I play on Desolation and there is almost no chance whatsoever i will ever get 100% map without server transfer. Please exclude WvW from 100% Map completion and give ppl who got/get it some title for it. PLEASE Anet dont force ppl to be in WvW if they dont want to…Its not like i want something for free but WvW is not something 1 player can affect and the gift is just for him not for a whole server…
essentially what you want IS something for free.
You want one of the few prestiges( the gold star) that distinguishes individuals from the herd of players playing this game, and you want it for basically , being part of the herd.
Map completion is NOT meant for everyone to have, if you don’t want to stick at WvW and play it until you get the opportunity then you don’t need the icon.
Anet said there wouldn’t be a LEVEL grind, they NEVER said there wouldn’t be grinds at all.
You dont see the problem you can be PvP God, but that doesnt guarantee you will ever get all vistas in WvW it might simply never happend if you are unlucky enough. I just want them to remove WvW from gift of exploration i dont ever care about some icon or title thats meaningless to me….

yea you have no idea how long stuffs from traits works like initiative regenerates faster wtf is “faster” i need numbers !!! or range of stealing is increased but by how much?? Stealing deals damage but how much??? etc….
funny posts,.. and what will you do about the 500 combatant tokens ,? I think best bet is to just WvW for awhile,and learn to enjoy it and eventually them towers will turn , it really isn’t that bad ,. daily jump puzzle = around 8 to 12 badges right daily , ,still a lot of time , and you can cut that dramatically to less than half the time , so man up and join the fray, help your server , good day!
Nothing, i already got them because i could do that by my own i didnt need whole server to do it but the vistats and pois are different story. Iam not saying i should be able to take them alone, all i want is WvW beeing excluded from 100% map completion and give ppl some title for completing WvW so they could feel special.
Its like forcing PvP players to do dungeons to get PvP armor…it just doesnt make sense to me…
Btw i wouldnt recommend pullling mobs away from Rabsovitch it takes forever to kill them that way just pull rabsovitch to the left side of room, kill mobs who comes with him then kill rabsovitch and after that you can just stand at the car and kill rest of the dredge forces.
As for bombs iam thief so i stack invis with blinding powder and refuge on my team, then we go and its usually 2 runs and doors are blown out….
As a DR commander I can say that we cap all those POI’s at least once every couple days, just spend a little more time checking up on wvw. At least you’re not tier 1 where people wait weeks.
i play at desolation which i believe is T1 and we are last everytime i join…
Well i can say only this WoW was released almost 10y ago and standarts changed and i really dont see Anet wanting to be competetive it seems like they are trying to make this game as casual as possible so i dont think we can talk about competetion since theres nothing to compete…
and we got almost no drop from it, did we cared?….hell no! we didnt did that for gear, but because we just wanted to beat her and it was soooo much fun and ive honestly never experienced anything like this in GW2 everything was done because i wanted gold/skin not because i wanted to do it so bad…
