Guild Wars 2

Pats self on back gratuitously

I just don’t understand the negative point of view here. The stats are plummeting yes. Why does everyone come here to complain about it? I have no clue. Anet is a big boy, he can handle his b’ness.

Well good for those people then. My point is if the class is not working out for you, then clearly you should do something else instead of crying and hoping anet gives you a “kill” button.

I will state for the record though that I play spvp, wvw, and pve.

I have a mesmer and ranger up to level 80 and do not stomp nearly as much face as I do on my engineer. I have a character for every class. Some other classes I spvp with I do just as well. The draw back for the other “equal” classes is that they are incredibly boring. Same faceroll easy kill over and over. The engineer breaks down every aspect of the battle to where you can compensate for any unexpected variables. If you can’t figure out how to make that work for you then it’s not the classes fault. This whole game is about thinking on your feet and adapting to any situation thrown at you, and I believe the engineer is perfectly geared just for that.

For the record I don’t watch streams, whatever that is, I’m too busy stomping that thief after he just used HS 6 times and is now trying to run away from a fight that was just supposed to be an easy kill.

I love playing my engineer, it’s by far my favorite class. If all this crying you kids are doing brings about some buffs from anet I’ll welcome them. But in all honesty I hope they do something to make this class less desirable to the masses. It’s already gotten easier since the much needed grenade nerf. No one plays engineer, so no one knows how to handle them

Seems like a lot of you are doing it wrong.

Just because you’re not good at a class doesn’t make it bad. It makes you bad. Go play your “easy mode” warrior and thief.

I’m not saying this class isn’t flawed. Truth is all the classes are flawed, it’s still a new game especially considering anet spent their time during the holidays working on holiday events for obvious business reasons and taking vacation like real people do.

Engineer is not an easy class to play. I am constantly switching kits and lining up combos. I even read into situations before I get to them and change out utility skills/weapons/armor to deal with them accordingly and you know what? I ALWAYS excel. 5/10 times I will send a flavor of the month mesmer or thief running for the hills because they’re not used to being countered. 4/10 they stick around to die. And that 1/10 they actually take me down. It happens. Why? Because there is balance between classes, and the engineer is just as good as any other.

TL;DR – Engineer isn’t bad, you are bad. Go play your “easy mode”warrior class.

These being the official Guild Wars 2 forums I often visit to try to get the scoop on what’s going on in the community and the game in general. Instead all I see when I log in is a bunch of cry babies flooding every sub-forum begging for immediate attention and general coddling because for some reason they never out-grew the mindset of throwing a hissy fit to get their way.

Well, here’s MY hissy fit!
Anet should make a sub-forum called “Toddlers’ Tantrums” where all these spoiled little kids (and grown up spoiled “adults”) can go and cry endlessly about things that apparently are so important to them that they take time out of their lives (or lack there of obviously) to come onto these forums and spam the kitten out of every sub-forum to the point that people who actually play the game to have fun lose interest in using the forums in the first place.

I demand something be done about this or else I will be forced to continue playing the game as I already do and continue to occasionally come to the forums looking for useful information but instead just getting a laugh from all the disgruntled morons that think they’d do a better job running your video game.

You see anet, you’ve made your bed. Now you have to share it.

Thanks for the laugh OP.

Saw a couple of people in guild chat complaining they wish they would have gotten better stuff in the free mail gift. People were really upset… about free stuff. The world we live in…

They could have made you buy all the minis.

They could have not made any minis.

They could have charged you real money just to participate in wintersday.

Children of an entitlement society. No matter what is done for you, you will be upset about it. Get real.

It seems there are a lot of people crying because once more people have this weapon skin, other people won’t think they’re as cool. I find it sad that there even exists a breed of humans that are concerned about how other people perceive them on an online video game. If you already have one, you will never lose that sense of accomplishment that you gained when you worked hard for something you wanted and got it. If this game is such a huge component in your life that you feel anet is discounting your personal experience by making a weapon skin more widely available to their huge base of players, it might be time to turn off the computer and step outside for a little while. It will do you some good.

If you spent any time playing the first guild wars, you would know that anet always takes care of their players and keeps the game fun and interesting. Have some patience and give them some time. This game hasn’t been out three months. They are only human you know…

This was so aggravating when I first ran into it because I as well thought I was losing mats but all you have to do is take a few steps away from it (get outside of the interaction radius) and then approach it again and you will have the option to search the node and then you can claim your stuff.
