how can u call an mmo game where u can’t connect ur friends, do pvp, do dungeons, events etc. cuz everythings bugged as hell finished? I know that was the case at start but still…u cannot put a broken product on the market or there will be complaints oviously. Starting with the bad mood of several daily crashes we finaly got to “join player X on his overflow” at lvl 45. From there to 80 it was pretty fun won’t argue about that. Running dungeons with full gear = meh, every 8th person u see is gonna look the same in 3 months so don’t “it’s all about the looks”.
Saying that explring’s fun and the thing to do all the time’s crap. every game has zones and it doesn’t mean thatim gonna install al of them and walk every corner of the map to get a title and a few exotics which are obviouly not hard to get.
dunno about that. it’s getting a bit rusty becouse of the brazillion launch bugs, complaintsand people don’t like to buy things that look rusty. After all the majority of new players after lauch are those who get convinced by someone else. logging on here and then is bad too imo, u lose the touch and are not as “in” as u were.
no1 said there aren’t things to do. U can play 1 year and get a bad looking legendary staff. That’s a bit mean, true also. We said there are not a lot of FUN things to do. some like to play more, some less. If u’ve had enough of events and dungeons for now u’d want to chill with ur uber looking nightmare gear like i do. But i can’t, pvp’s simply not that fun. Maybe if u play mesmer and u kite ppl around without being able to kill them, or atleast that’s what i’ve seen of them. dunno..not thrilled is what i wanted to say.
+Fozzik, we know that already, not getting what u’re rly pointing at
yay, my thought exactly…If it’s a pvp based endgame it’s supposed to be fun as hell playing even if u get no rewards. It’s not my idea, it’s theirs. and that’s the only way it’s gonna work. Half of all players got bored after a month. I started playing with 7 friends and im one of 3 who got to 80 and the only one left playing. And even i log on once every 3 days to see how the weather is like ingame….sad, i was looking forward to it over a year, couldn’t sleep before release for days normaly etc since i haven’t played an mmo for 4 years. :<
I don’t like exploring all over again since i’ve seen it already, i like my proffesion the most so nothing there to do.
I dont’ say there has to be more gear or stats, i like that it’s not adictive. Saying u have to enjoy events and dungeons is kinda dumm since u can’t enjoy doing tthe same thing for 2 years. The multiplayer expirience has to be exceptional which in this case is clearely not. Or atleast not yet.
i have the same problem as the thread says. I got full exotic and am bored to hell. I knew it was a pvp based game and wvw seemed pretty exciting as did the spvp. BUT they’re not fun. I don’t like losing durability in wvw cuz it makes no sense since u’re supposed to die in pvp d’ah. Despite that, i can’t rly enjoy it. I could play eye of the storn, warsong gulch, arathi basin for days and days and didn’t get bored of it. I’m playing LoL for 2 years and i can’t wait to log on. But here at’s like: running, more running, bashing door, running, get swarmed, bash door, kill 1guy, running….i get sick of it after 2hours IF we are winning. It’s just not entertaining to me even tho im a HUGE pvp fan. It’s not very tactical, it’s unorganised, chaotic, max range only(more or less). even PvE is better and u play it undependant from the other 4 in the grp…
30-25-0-15-0 works for me…3300power 59%crit chance
chill, do the earth slow thingy, electro cage + nuke the kitten out of them on the way >_<’
no1 left standing…
I think gear farming’s just about right. u need to do it for a while and those like me who enjoy running explorables most will do it, other won’t. simple
Judging others playstyle’s absurd. If the game’s out it should be fitting for all types of players. U cannot say “it’s ur own fault if u’re bored with low endgame content, go slow and enjoy”. There are people who play differently and saying there’s no room for such is discriminating. Play the way u like and give those who like to rush it content to rush it. If u run out u’re just unprepeared OBVIOUSLY.
+ that, i have vacation and i play 8h+ per day. U can shut me down for 14days and keep me entertained and i won’t miss it for a sec. it’s not addiction, it’s not watching tv, no chance to go on a job praxis and finishing exams 1st try. simple.
I agree. Such a tool would make things much easier. I am trying to get into a group quite a lot. Often i have to travel to cities and write in /map to find people who want to join. And teleporting as we know costs money. After a day traveling here and there u can lose up to 1gold just to find people to do something u like. And with the gold reward from dungeons being nerfed it got even worse.
mounts ruin the game by a bit even tho u might not see it. Go kill Zhaitan and u’ll get ur flight… If u make the gliders they’ll get casual also in 3days so…
exactly…i thought since it was quite fun to run explorer dungeons and socialize it’s okay to get a gold reward for it. after all it’s way more fun than farming fangs or whatever. And u couldn’t get much profit of it anyway. Take away one of the only things that actualy make fun.yay, not to mention that every dungeon’s bugged.. priority issues maybe? hello
Dude, seriously… FACT: u cannot awoid being hit by close range AoE attacks when u’re close range. U’re either dead or u’re not close range. Telling me to use dodge + 3 in fire to close range or 4+5 in air ussing dagger/dagger every single time is not realistic.
What about the Eye of Zhaitos making the shards go all directions. u take 2 of those and u’re dead, 2 more and u’re defeated. U can’t avoid that. The only thing u can do is go staff and back off which is not that horrible but if that’s the case they should also give us weapon switch
they’re also a close rangle casting class..There’s 2 types of casting.Close range – long range.
U ARE A CLOSE RANGE CLASS if u go dagger/dagger.
As a close range class u need sustain to take the hit if the boss or whoever u’re fighting makes an AoE cleave or something. Saying i should go long range cuz that’s what elementalist’s are is crap. 75% all skills are close range.
they attack ur target pretty much i think, though i cought it attacking a mob on it’s own too a couple of times ( mob not in combat) which is sort of weird
I said dagger /dagger is good as is scepter. what im saying is that u can’t and there’s no way to go dagger/dagger in an explorer instance. tried it and it can’t be done. I’m talking about lvl 80 “advanced” playing not solo
Amon that’s wrong…It’s a waste of points to use them in water just to get vitality. IF u want vitality that much i’d be better to go vitality+power+condition dmg instead of precision or something . But u still need fire specialization if u ask me…
30 fire 0earth 10water 30 arcane for myself
LightningLockey…the pets u can summon are good. If u summon 0 any form of pet it’s quite a boost. Phoenix hitting up to 1k AoE having enought hp to last a while. Stone minion gives u the chance to take out 5 enemies without taking a single hit. Air pet heals u and does long range dmg if u can’t send him close range. Water pet kitting the ones following u etc… How can u say it’s not worth it
Reading some threads with people having trouble dieing a lot as elementalists forcing them to go long range staff made me wonder. Why should anyone take the effort to get good close range gear like scepter and especialy dagger since u can’t use them in any part of the game other than to farm mobs on ur own. And since short range’s waaay more fun for some that’s pretty depressing. After all u don’t have 3x 4 × 5 skills anymore as it should be but only ur staff/attunement spells becouse staff’s what u get 1st and ALL u use for PvE ( mostly for PvP too)
Suggestion: as closer one getts in combat as elementalist the tougher he should get. Example: wielding dagger/dagger gives u -30% dmg taken from melee attacks -_- or something like that…
I’ve enjoyed scepter/dagger for a while and dagger/dagger and it’s kinda working if u’re on the pushing side since u can easily catch up with ur opponents and slow them down for ur team to kill but otherwise they’re pretty much useless. Same goes for PvE. If u go close range vs an enemy that u can’t nuke in less than 10s u’re pretty much screwed becouse u get 5 shotted in pvp and 1 shotted in PvE. Defensive spells + staff works best for me bothwise.
The answers are only partialy correct. What i mean by that is: when there’s an uncontrolled situation where multiple mobs run around aggroing people randomly in the instance it’s much harder for an elementalist to survive compared to some heavy armoured guys. Ofc u can chill, dodge etc like i do all the time, but still i get 3 shoted by long range attacks. Survivability’s very poor IF u get someone to attack u in a way that’s uncontrollable to u. (AoEs, poisons, arrows etc.)
As for myself i try to get as many sustain 7,8,9 skills as possible. Using arcane shield, the stony face spell reduce incoming dmg. I also have 30 points in arcane giving me arcane power and shield so i basicaly pop my 6ability arcane shield when i get attacked, 7 to reduce dmg taken. If i can’t get away another shield comes up when i drop bellow 25% so it’s much easier to survive. U get a bit reduced dmg but since reduced dmg’s better than being dead for 30s it’s worth it.
