Anet needs to stop with this artificial manual balancing junk, open ALL the full servers up and let the players naturally balance out. Hasn’t their economist heard of trickle down theory? Naturally players will trickle down and fall into lower servers.
Is this the newest matchup thread?!
Hahah wow this thread. As someone who is on Maguuma, I’m absolutely positive no one is trying to hide any nonexistant hacking (at least that I’ve seen) and I can say for sure that if we knew of anet players playing we’d probably get on map just to chase them down lol
Personally I’ve yet to see any people with the Anet tag playing, and I’ve been on most everyday, so maybe it’s just coincidence, or maybe Anet is avoiding us! :P
You will also be missed DR, farewell tonight and good luck. See you on the other side, perhaps!
I just got my W1 chest last night, I don’t plan on getting the W2 sadly, because I just hate W2 too much to even attempt Trib mode on that. But if this is true it really saddens me as I was planning on using this on my big charr and it would be the only aura I have
I’m sure you examined the possibility of scrapping the collections instead of scrapping legendaries instead. But I’m really curious why it was chosen to go in this direction. Maybe I’m one of the few, but I didn’t mind the RNG based system of getting precursors. Yes, it was all based on luck, but for me it was part of the fun that I could be doing something and get an exceedingly rare item like a precursor and when one finally did drop it was such a rush, and from their I could even sell it if it wasn’t quite what I was wanting.
I’m actually really disappointed by the decision to scrap all future legendaries, I’d been saving up all my mats for the release of them all before I decided which legendary I was going to try for, now I’m disheartened at it all. I hope ANet comes around on this decision, either reworks/scraps the collection idea if that’s what’s holding them back, or they at least release the second precursors as a dropped based item in the future, at least until they make collections for them. At least give us something as we were all waiting and hoping for new, interesting legendary weapons to forge, collections or not.
And yes, the only thing that would be an acceptable trade-off for the scrapping of future legendaries would be for the return of Tybalt, living, unharmed and NOT undead.
When I’m bored, sometimes I will join a group of complete first timers and carry them through Arah. To make it more fun, I limit myself to no chat, only emotes. (/e emotes aren’t allowed) I usually do this with path 4, but today I was only able to find a p1/2 group, but it was still pretty interesting..
For starters, they didn’t even know about the detonator to blow up the mobs. In path 1, when I killed them they thought I did some crazy move to kill them all (this is after soloing Ooze/Champs after they all wiped). They didn’t learn about the button until path 2…
Also, somewhere along the way, I picked up the nickname “Legendary Mime Unicorn Thief.” I like it.
That was me in that group! It was my first time on any Arah paths and I still can’t believe all the champs the LMUT killed, us four noobs really only helped at the giant for like 30 seconds before getting trashed and watching as it was solo’d… I still bow to you, oh great Legendary Mime Unicorn Thief.
Stress test was real fun, thanks for letting me be a part of it. I was so excited to try out the revenant! Paving roads is the new meta!
Masteries- took me a short while to figure out, wasn’t quite sure how to put the points into it but eventually I found out where to click. Even so I only managed to get 4 points so only explored with gliding a bit. It should be interesting to explore full traits once the expansion is released.
New Defiance bar- I really liked the fact that the champion showed a bar over stacks of Defiance. It didn’t take the beta players very long to figure out how to CC the wyvern and keep it from flying away.
Revenant
Interesting class aspect of survivability of being heavy with a mix of range/melee and condis (with the hammer or mace/axe). Also very cool looking armor!
Likes:
-The mix of range/melee on the weapons we could play with, just hammers and mace/axes. Hammer 1 skill has a projectile, as well as 2 slightly range attacks. Axe/Mace also has two attacks with some range capability as well. That being said these are still close combat focused.
-The hammer wall could be very useful, I really like that it follows wherever you face and move.
-Legendary stances, of the two we could use (Not sure if there are more coming?) I found Dwarf stance the most useful for the short PvE content, it was very tanky and stable for fighting the wyvern, plus provided some CC with the chain skill. Demon stance is likely something I’d use more in PvP/WvW, and may be more useful when we have more than 3 trait lines to work with.
Not so likes:
-Really good survivability, but kind of lacked on power. Though that might have been because we were all full Celestial and there wasn’t very much to change the build.
-Hammer was a bit underwhelming, it could be more useful in PvP/WvW perhaps, but I found myself using mace/axe exclusively during the test.
-No weapon swapping, even out of combat. I’ve never played an Ele so the idea of not being able to weapon swap is a bit foreign to me. I’m doubtful it will be kept in the full version, but perhaps with more stances (if that will be a thing) this would be a better tradeoff? Also the lack of other weapons, but I think Anet was just keeping those things on the downlow.
-Just 3 traitlines, though again I understand it is still in beta, so Anet doesn’t want to reveal everything just yet so it was fine.
That’s about all I can think of at the moment. It was a very fun and apparently successful stress test (I never got kicked out, so I assume the servers handled the numbers well). I can’t wait for the official release, will take the day off to play it fully, whenever that is!
P.S. BRING BACK TYBALT LEFTPAW!
