I just unlocked the ability to detonate them, havent tried it yet, but you have intrigued me with the idea of explosions lol. I’ll give it a shot.
I see, ty for the response.
I don’t intend to let my turrets do all the work, I might stop using them if it’s not effective, that’s not the way I play any game lol. Still trying to figure out the most effective route to take, this profession is complicated lol, but that’s part of the reason I picked it after all.
I was just curious about something, and figured this was the place to ask about it.
Why do a lot of people seem to complain about Engineers using turrets so much?
I was fighting a Toxic Wurm Queen yesterday with a random group, and deployed my turrets to help with dmg and was strafing around alternately firing my rifle, throwing grenades, and reviving players, and when it was done, I got some hate in chat along the lines of " turret spammer " and " useless Engi ", despite the fact that I revived these guys and wasn’t just staying at max range and doing nothing.
I am a new(ish) player and agree with TC and have converted a few friends as well.
I used to work at a video game retailer, and always told people looking for a decent MMO to try GW2, despite the fact that I couldn’t play it myself cuz my computer wasn’t capable ( though I was able to play the original ). Everyone I turned on to it always came back and told me they enjoyed it, and when I finally got a PC capable of running it, I was ( and am still ) hooked.
I’m new to GW2, but I used to play GW semi regularly ( preface )
I’ll admit it, one of the main things that attracted me to GW1 was the idea of the full MMO package with no sub fee, I’m not a huge PC gamer and have never been into MMOs ( old roommate tried with WoW and I couldn’t get into it ). I couldn’t justify consistently spending money on a game that I might not consistently play, call me a casul or scrub if you like, but this is true for many people I know.
All that being said, I think no sub fee makes the game much more approachable to new players and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I’ve gotten several friends and acquaintances to try ( and inevitably get hooked on lol ) GW2 because, on top of everything else this awesome game has to offer, there’s no looming dollar signs attached to playing.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, that not having a subscription fee is probably doing them more good than harm, sure other MMOs might get more content or regular updates, but that’s part of what you’re paying for so it should be expected. I believe that it not having a monthly fee is one of the things that makes GW unique and if they changed that, it would be just another MMO ( I’d probably pay it though cuz I enjoy the game so much lol ).
