Guild Wars 2

Because the other elite spec items that have been data mined are very theme oriented around the elite spec in general and all named “ascended BLahBlah”

This does scare me. on the other end, i also dont feel our 100-300 points in healing (just a reference to the example) is NOT going to make or break most specs and considering we are getting a base stat increase we r going to have base stats apart of the build we never did originally u might only lose 100-150 healing . U could say they are adding a small portion of what Cele Amu Gives us, but then u get to add berserk on top of that with an even More strong stat layout because of the buff to amulets aswell.
I will Choose to have faith that anet Thought of these tidbits along the way.

No one can really say it will be better or worse. I am afraid we must wait around to see just how it will effect the game, if you are not calm enough or patient enough for that then…. carry on ranting.

can we get another statement from jon that isnt belittling our intellect as gamers? its not that we cant see where your design team is trying to go. but rather the presentation on it and description given is conflicting and thrown together on the fly (hopefully, because if someone sat around and brainstormed for weeks and this was the final result, god help that poor brain)

if you gave us the lore behind it first, possibly conceptual art or at least just step away from “big game hunter/trapper/witchhunter” confusion and pick either or…… jon please do your whole company a favor and try not to say things like “high concept” and “mature” all that did was open up a big can of ill-communicated insulting and somewhat arrogant image of how you perceive this communities problems and dislikes. we GET what u are going for. its that a majority DON’T LIKE IT, not that we dont understand.

i feel insulted that John tried to break down such a simple theme for us like that. im sure he didnt intend for it to come off condescending, its not complicated john its just crass and poorly thought out in a game thats not just about PVE.
High Concept? high on what exactly? im gunna laugh if half the specs r Dragon_____

IF the goal was to make everyone a dragon hunting spec i could see this from a pve rp standpoint but what about pvp?

ANNNNNDDDDDwhy are the traps not shootable or atleast placeable within a 600 area, can we fluff up the bow skills a little more animation wise?

also will trueshot +the KB trait KB everyone hit or just first target

They didnt even mention it in the Twitch reveal lol….. they arent going to change it.

Alice.5360:

New warrior specialization is called Weaponuser.

Sure, we all use weapons, but the warrior /specializes/ in it.

/s

Hahaha……..made my day.

On that note about the thief becoming a “sound” based trait line
I was hoping for “kitten talker” (excuse the spaces) or “ruffian” and they just walk around talking mad kitten to everyone and demoralizing the meek .
Now that dragon hunter is on the table im actually pretty positive about getting this.

also if rangers had become hunter i wouldnt have said kitten.

I guess if they wont change it i just WILL NOT play guardian anymore! fine with me
To all u guardian mains. Tough luck.
To every other Elite spec out there, “GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE”

I susspect commando,minstrel,Warcaller, and many more kittene names after this one

ANET IM LOSING FAITH :{

It really Hurts my Views on ANets Future attempts to capture my attention. i Dont think that Anet Really though this one through…… STOP RUSHING UR GAME GUYS PLZ! U HAVE A GOOD THING HERE. DONT “WOTLK” THIS plz.

I find the name to be horrendously applied to a prof. that has very little to do with “hunting” anything. Guardians are described as:

Guardians are devoted fighters who protect their allies and smite their enemies by drawing from the power of their virtues. True guardians are brilliant tacticians and selfless defenders who know when to sacrifice their own defenses to empower their allies to achieve victory.

IF we are stepping away from this goal for an entirely new take, why r we stealing rangers second elite spec from the next expansion (we wont see another expansion if they keep naming things this badly and prioritizing new specs over our exisiting professions. i wouldnt feel half as bad if i knew i could prolly still play guard as is. but i have a sneaky feeling most old profs are gunna be cannon fodder to new content.)
