Guild Wars 2

So say it WAS indeed homosexuality/bisexuality (even though it clearly isn’t if you even know the lore of the Sylvari). What would the problem be? Would it hurt you in any way? Would it really disrupt your gameplay in any way? You homophobic people have an absolutely astounding lack of intelligence. It goes to show the human race is less than the Sylvari race. Such a shame.

I don’t understand it. I’m usually a great gamer. However, with this game, I feel like I’m horrible in dungeons. I constantly die from AOE, casters, traps, etc.

With AOE, I feel like I’m dodging every single time it’s up (which is quite often since I have the endurance on crit trait) and I still get hit with stuff that two shots me. Not to mention how hard it is to see those thin red circles in certain places. It guarantees a death for me.

Traps are my worst enemy. I’ll time it perfectly so they only activate after I’ve passed them and they still get me. It seems people get through these easily with movement boosting abilities but what do we have? Oh yeah, Blink, on a 30 second cooldown.

I was just in AC EXP path 2 and I died 5 times trying to get through those trap hallways, and I died multiple times during trash and boss fights, even when I was dodging and avoiding things like they were on fire. Eventually, people started calling me out for being a “baddie” and a “lowbie” (I was 43). We finally finished path 2 and the leader asked if we wanted to do path 3, so we agreed, but then guess what? I was kicked. That was the first time I’ve ever been kicked from a group for my (lack of) skill in any game.

Really, what am I doing wrong? It’s frustrating beyond belief soloing groups of veterans easily out in the world, but then getting into a dungeon and being roflstomped. Any advice?

Magic tends to be boring, and there’s only one animation for most spells..

On the other hand, there’s a lot more variety and kittenery to be had in weapon skins.

Magic tends to be boring? That’s a new one. But, to each his own I guess. And where are you getting “one animation for most spells”?

What’s entertaining about hitting things with a sword or stabbing them with a dagger, when you can easily do that in the real world?

so what your saying is you’ve held a big kitten sword before ? and your dual wield a dagger and actually stab / kill something ?

your fantasy and mine aren’t the same , i wanna hold a bad kitten sword while you wanna pretend to be a fairy and use magic and stuff..

what is it to you if people want swords/daggers more than magic

No of course I haven’t, but the point is, I can in real life if I want. I find things I can’t do in reality more fun. But hey that’s just me.

Oh of course, I get called a fairy for using magic. Society’s gender roles at its finest.

It doesn’t affect me at all, I’m just truly curious as to why.

I fail to understand why melee warrior type classes are always so popular in MMO’s. MMO’s are mostly fantasy-themed games. I don’t know about you guys, but when I think “fantasy”, I think magic. Hell, the fantasy genre definition is as follows: “Fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting.” Notice “magic” and “supernatural” in there?

So, why do people go for the least magical class in a fantasy MMO? I don’t get it. Aren’t games a means of escapism and entertainment? What’s entertaining about hitting things with a sword or stabbing them with a dagger, when you can easily do that in the real world? You can’t conjure powerful orbs of fire to literally burn your enemies alive, call upon minions of death and drain the life force out of them, or summon clones of yourself to confuse your foes in reality.

Magic makes you feel powerful. Who doesn’t want to feel powerful in a fantasy game? Not to mention magic classes always get the best animations. So tell me, I’m truly curious as to why some people always go for the melee warrior-esque classes in games.
