Guild Wars 2

I agree with the OP. It’s disappointing that many people in this thread don’t actually understand what the video is talking about.

Having a meta is not a problem, there will always be one. The problem is the TYPE of meta that exists is stale and boring. GW2 has such amazing mechanics and gameplay systems yet they are hardly used. A huge problem is the lacklustre instance design. I actually get excited when i do Uncat fractal because i get to use reflects on my guard and its important for clearing the harpies unless you want to take 20mins to do it.

But 99% of the content is me running the exact same build with the exact same utilities. It’d be great if content actually required me to spec for regen, then another for blocks etc. But utility and build requirements are incredibly scarce. And i’m playing a guardian, one of the most robust classes in the game. It gets even worse on other classes.

Stats are a huge problem too and some of them (healing power) really just don’t make much sense. I think i’d rather gear not give stats (flat stats, power whatever) but just stick to giving passive effects like run speed, life steal, block at 50% hp etc.

I still find the game fun though, even after almost 3 years. But it’s stagnated heavily and i hope HoT mixes things up cuz change is always a good thing.

Stealth + conditions……..yeah ok no. Its not enough at all to give up increased running speed or extra damage.

+1 to most of what has been said in this thread. Whilst the living story stuff is ok, it’s not what the majority of players are here for. There are already so many questions that need answering about the world. Such as, what is going on in the crystal desert? why exactly is elona cut off? is the desolation still there?

I’m very surprised the writers haven’t gravitated towards these kinds of questions as i think they are far more intriguing than any of the LS stuff so far.

I wouldn’t mind it changing in the future, perhaps when we have a new expansion and storyline to complete. Anet have already started making changes to maps, so there is a precedent. However i don’t see it working currently as it is a major part of the story.

I have this same problem aswell. I really, really hope this is fixed before you add more to the story just like Aenaos said. Its also just generally frustrating that i can’t go back and read the story of my character.

not the point, i want to be able to display my pve armour in spvp

Allow us to have pve armour appearance in spvp. Pretty self explanatory, you work really hard to have cool looking pve gear it’d be nice to have the option of setting it as your spvp appearance.
