I decided to write this post to express my opinion about the biggest flaw that destroys GW2.
I will try to describe it in as few words as possible.
The biggest GW2 problem is stacking.
You designed a mechanics that requires dynamic combat, dodging, movement and evades. You build everything around it. You promoted the game as being something truly new (and it is).
Why did you then decided to destroy this mechanics by allowing players to stack “on one pixel”. Why did you destroy everything that you have achieved by letting players sit on one spot, just around the corner, dropping guardian wall and hitting keys at random? Have you not seen how majority of ppl do dungeons? Stack wherever you can and bring the might!
Due to this, playing GW2 became tedious. We mostly watch the closest wall and millions of lights blinding us when we all use our skills when we literally sit on one pixel.
There is no positioning (apart from gathering on one pixel), no movement, no dynamic. Thus playing PvE requires almost no skill at all.
What I would like to see to change this state?
A solution that punishes stacking. If players are stacked for longer periods of time, mobs should hit 2x stronger and bosses 10x stronger. By stacking I mean 3 players at least (to avoid problems with reviving, if my friend is down I can resurrect him safely, but when someone else tries to do it at the same time we would be punished). I would like to see real, dynamic combat.
All dungeons are instances. You can make normal and hard mode so that less skilled and less experienced players can play dungeons as they are now. And those who desire more would try hard mode were stacking is severely punished and where you actually have dynamic combat.
What do you people think about that? I would like to hear your opinion. Are you bored with current combat mechanics?
This is just my opinion (although many ppl think in a similar way). First of all I would like to say that you do tremendous work with updating GW2 so often. I know that you want it to be the best MMO on the market, and that living story is something truly unique and new. I appreciate your work, because I know hom much time and effort You put into it. I really appreciate it, even though I do not really like it. In my opinion making provisional content, and then taking it away after 2 weeks is a waste of time and resources. Imagine how big would Tyria be today if you had not delete all that content. Secondly I just cannot force myself to play living story for a longer time. Out of all previously introduced stories (how many were there? 15? 20?) I finished 1 (100%) another 3 nearly (about 80%) as for the rest, I simply ignored them. Suffice to say, they were all quite similar (somebody attacks us and we fight with him/them) so they could not attract my attention for more than few minutes. Moreover, I just cannot fight with the feeling that forcing me into doing something that will be removed after 2 weeks is so meaningless. All in all I started ignoring every LS. Even if I tried to play it, after 15 minutes my anger was so big that I resigned. Why was I angry? Because, like I said before you are wasting time nad money. I hate being forced into doing something. I also don’t like the idea of farming some items during LS and exchanging them for some skins. Sorry but that is ridiculous. LS is tedious, repetitive and above all it has detrimental effect on the whole game. I would really like to see expansion, new lands, new dungeons, new skills, professions, races. I firmly believe we would have it, if it wasn’t for the LS. I do not advise you to abandon LS completaly, just make that kitten expansion we all so desire :P give it priority. Make LS again in a 4 week period, or something.
What do You people think? Do You also hate LS as I do? Do you also think it is detrminetal for this game? How many of You would like to see expansion instead?
P.S. I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Anet, thank you very much for making this great game for us, for all the devotion, effort and time you invest into it.
You (I mean many people posting here) have a really geat and interesting ideas, some are truly amazing. But this changes nothing because Anet does not listen to You. I love my ranger. Although it is so poorly designed I try to use him to the best of his abilities. But I’m frustrated, when I know that other professions do the same (often better) with less effort…
ANET PLEASE LISTEN TO THOSE PEOPLE, A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS CAN BE FOUND HERE ON THE FORUM. DO NOT IGNORE US ANYMORE
Opening strike should work like that:
Minor triats
1) it is always critical and renewed after killing the foe (default)
2) pets have opening strike
3) opening strikes causes vulnerability
Traits: opening strike causes knockdown for 1 sec
YOU DEVOTE A LOT OF TIME TO CREATE THIS NEW CONTENT FOR GOD’S SAKE WHY DO YOU DELETE IT AFTER SOME TIME??? LEAVE IT IN THE GAME, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE MORE DUNGEONS, MORE EXCITING STORIES TO SEE.
DO NOT DELETE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, LEAVE IT IN THE GAME, OTHERWISE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY
IT’S TOO FAST!!!!!!
I can’t spend a lot of time in front of my computer, usually I do daily and go for a dungeon maybe 2 times in a weak with my guild. I Did 1/4 of the living story… Seriously it comes so fast, that I am not able to finish it. It kitten es me off. Many times I was thinking about ignoring it complately. I’m sure there are more players that think the same. MAKE IT SLOWER. Or stop doing that and give us another expansion like You did in GW1, I want Cantha and Elona not a new small portion of content every 2 weeks, because I don’t like rushing and for the most time I can’t do it fast enought before you delete it.
I will also probably stop playing Ranger until they fix it. I love playing with bow so I made a worrior, and maybe I will run with bow. Cuz right now Warrior with bow is better that RANGEr… seriously my favourite class gonna wait for better times. I don’t want to be rejected any more in dungeons.
I also love Ranger and that play style, but now other players don’t want to take me to the party. On normal dungeons I’m weak on new dungeon (living story with pirates) I am complately useless. Pet dies because of lasers, and nobody want’s to have me in the party. I think I will also take a break from playing as a Ranger until Anet buffs us to the point where we can actually do some damage and be useful…
Warrior on bow is a lot better than Ranger, how is that possible???
