In my opinion, the combat system is so unattractive

GW’2 combat is about skill, not 1-shotting things because you have endgame gear. Gear helps, but if you are an unskilled player (which I am amusing you are because you bothered to complain on the forum) then gear won’t change that.

GW2 is a breathe of fresh air to me, among my favorite games of all time.

Thieves coming out of stealth and 2 shotting you while you never see them is not skill. Sorry. Neither is a rifle warrior behind you who charges up a kill shot… and one shots you. Neither is a portal bomb or 30v1. This game takes no more skill then any other mmo. But, you keep believing that it does and that you are somehow superior…/facepalm

uh, all your examples are irrelevant. 30v1 can happen in any MMO if wander clueless in a BG, if thieves and warriors are killing you in 1-2 hits, its about time to look into your gear spec mate….
that last line is pretty ironic…

Signet of Hunt only giving me 10% boost

and since every class basically got the same buff to it’s signet or speed passive and they made thiefs even faster, it’s not really an improvement, especially when you consider that dodges will make you miss even more now…

10-25% is an improvement however you look at it. Unless you think running slower is better.

Is this game going to turn into Guild Fortress 2?

Very upset about the music event.

How about people who are tone deaf? Maybe Anet should cancel it altogether?

I’m sorry if i come across as sarcastic or mean but I hope you see the difficult of being a designer trying to come up with monthly content for the masses.

WvW: The reason why this game is dying

The fix might not be as straight forward as it seems.

Increasing the rewards is a tricky thing as a keep / tower can take anywhere from 5 minutes (Nightcapping PvDoor) to 3 hrs to take. If we increase the rewards to appropriately match 3 hrs of hardwork, the nightcrew mob will suddenly find themselves swimming in karma/currency.

If the WvW gear pricing is reduced, the forum would be even more rife with ‘What do I do now? I beat the Game LULZ’ threads. But i do agree that the something needs to be changed here, making the gear stand out more or anything which gives more satisfaction upon attaining it.

No emotional attachment to pets

No name, no lvling, no permanent death, no attachment.

There is a name isn’t there?

If Anet introduces leveling or permanent death to GW2 pets, they better get ready for the kittenstorm thats coming their way from the forums! (OMG GRIND, OMG Ranger class is broken!)

After the lashing the Devs/Red Posts got from the Ranger community shortly after the last major patch, I wouldn’t be surprised at their silence…

Anyways, I am noticing some shortbow animation problems when quickness is activated (both on Ranger and Thief), so there might be something fishy there…

However the way this community is treating the Devs/Red Posts, I don’t believe that anything (save the very obvious and simple issues such as the 25% movespeed signet and longbow travel speed) will be revealed beforehand…

Yes or No: Manifesto Represents the Game?

So either Arenanet was:

-totally and completely inept and incompetent in their design.
-lying to maximize sales right from the beginning.
-bullied by corporate bottom lines into abandoning their morals.

I can’t figure out which answer is the worst possibility.

You forgot

- trying to respond to a generation of irresponsible gamers who whined constantly about the lack of things to achieve at endgame and needed some carrot to keep them going.

Don’t interpret that as supporting Anets move though, if they go through with this Ascended gear thing, it would be my single most hated change to any game in my MMO career.

I tag fine. Use S/D build with instant damage abilities. (for e.g Fire number 4, Arcane Blast, Earth number 4 etc)

Its much easier than my guardian.

Elementalists are easy to fix. Do it!

My first character was a guardian whom I have leveled till 80. I got bored of her and then leveled an Ele.

While a Guardian is effective at facerolling content and groups, I assure you that the ele is no slouch either… the problem – more movement and more buttons. While I can simply Hulk Smash stuff with my Hammer/GS with my guardian, I have to stance dance/ combo field stuff with my ele.

Does it take longer on Ele? Maybe only SLIGHTLY. Do I die more? no way. Was it tougher to get used to? definitely yes.

Maybe you should post your spec / skills you are using so we can see what the problem is.

NO idea what you guys are on about. Unless you are judging population in mid-level zones. Have you been to LA where people search for groups?

Most servers i know of have high populations. Try Isle of Janthir/Crystal Desert/Sea of Sorrows

i’m 80 and farming orr with 16k life and 1321 toughness. No problems farming really. It was only a problem when i was using a staff it was more of a support weapon.

Since going D/D or S/D things die so fast that I can even go chain pull or kill groups of 5-6.

Its our BL, you have to expect a certain degree of double teaming (that isn’t intentional or organised).

Get back there and fight instead of whining
