Guild Wars 2

Well it all comes down to time commitment and we slap 80 on the lfg to save time during the run as the scaling in most dungeons is tough. Party all Level 35 in AC likely take an age to complete and not loads of fun. Sure if there is nobody to play with some of us will invest the time in teaching new people but otherwise we don’t need the grief 90% of the time. But you do learn from weaker parties and become a better player from it sometimes, if you consider it an investment.

Please add an option specific to the player they can tick to skip cutscene popups in dungeons as it breaks immersion and is somewhat annoying. Yes COF has great cutscenes but having played through it countless times, prefer just being allowed to fight enemies.

I don’t begrudge someone wanting to watch a cutscene, so they can stay that way but I will be happy to tick my little box and not get paused while running to press escape to get back to running.

Yes please get rid of contested, i feel like I am wasting my time guesting to servers then relogging back to my server for events also checking external sites can be a little dubious and shady for in-game security.

You also get Mini Rytlock and free banker for two weeks per toon. So not really bad deal, though the wolf needs a time buff.

Its fun being a different animal.

Quiting “Tournaments” should be an option. Especially as its only one game and doesn’t impact anything. I don’t see why I or anybody elses needs to stay and suffer if team is lousy, or if I am lousy, or if we got something else to do all of a sudden.

Go play regular match? But rewards are better and depending on the time of day competition is mostly harder at night.

Loading used to be quick now with end of culling it takes 20 to 30 seconds to make LA.

I dont care if there is vertical progression as long as its not too hard and/or excessively time gated though the solutions found are extremely unbalanced atm.

In AC I don’t care as long as you are 80. The only reason AC is lvl 35 was to nerf the ecto drop from tokens. Same with the other sub lvl 68 dungeons.

I hope it gets carted back to Lion’s Arch and keys fall randomly from mobs

Here, here, good work on that cutscene and the humour between Marjory and Kasemeer.

Goodbye crude salvage kit. Only going to use the next higher tier salvage from now on.

Damask? I feel like I am on an epsiode with Beavis and Butthead. Why timegate so excessively?

They ruined crafting when they tried to add value to laurels since then it hasn’t been the same and 36 days to craft one armor set is a whole load of kitten when you have alts to gear and the optimum is two sets a toon.

Why bother? Comes to mind.

Yes this is totally nuts cause you spend a proportionate amount of time collecting the other mats and then all of a sudden you need 25% more.

I did on a more minor scale, 53 ectos what i had on me, got 107 dust and 5650 essence of luck. Cost me about 3.13g as the difference at the current market prices.

Oh my saw the wannabe t-3 on a sylvari, it was repugnant.

TES Morrowind songs were the best, and most varied if we can get more of that from Mr. Soule it would be fantastic.

Redeeming Essence of Luck now has a casino sound effect which sounds horrible makes me feel like I am in Vegas with the slot machines cause thats what it sounds like exactly. Please change it, as I redeem my luck frequently during the course of play and its doubly annoying to turn down the volume every time. If I wanted the slot machine sound I would be in Vegas right now. It is very annoying.

Bring back spamming of stealth kits, so I never have to die on panels again.

WTH! I am used to doing Jade Maw pretty much the same way since January. Yeah they slightly changed it once but it was more or less the same. Not aware of any exploit for Maw and feel aggrieved I will now have to fight those stupid squid at some point.

Bring back stealth kit spamming. Dying on buttons is stupid.

Atrocious hardest part is finding players with the bottle for it. They made the dungeon too long and insipid. You get blues and greens from the chests there, its a slap in the face of old school players who expect the dragons hoard of treasure when they are fighting in the flagship dungeon.;

I usually have to carry my group in daily farming with ele in ac. If stacking went they need to add more loot to it cause not a lot of people have my patience or desire for panache which goes out the window when its just a daily farming thing.

Some ranger discussion.

Natural Vigor
Starting here because I think it requires the most discussion. This, simply put, was a wildly overpowered trait. I tell people not to compare one profession to another, but Engineer has this trait as a major grandmaster. It was simply too easy to put 5 points in this line and then be able to dodge every 6.67 seconds. As it stands after the change this still allows you to splash 5 points and dodge every 8 seconds. I don’t think this will ruin survivability, and I think by buff other traits further down this line it will encourge rangers who are looking to survive to go further into this trait line.

Really? Well in my 1700 hours plus play time of ranger, dodging has been the definitive characteristic in this class. When solo farming five young karkas in southsun or ten grawls in frostgorge, dodging really, really helps and there have been lots of close calls in those melee fights, where even a split second makes a lot of difference. Yes I had to circle and dodge alot but they had high hp, and they packed a punch. Melding ranged and melee fighting should be what the ranger is all about. Dodges really help to enjoy this class and if you can’t fathom that you shouldn’t be in this business, and I have a long list of complaints in my posting history. Though atm, I am very angry about this and regardless the outcome your opinion and/or your teams opinion held on this subject is very blasé.

Good post Gregori. Why stay indeed? Because I have played nearly 4000 hours so I am bit emotionally attached so I will get heard/hurt no matter how I phrase it. I will get heard/hurt because thats how I am. And I will be heard/hurt and I don’t care which because I am stubborn and excessively angry.

So are we kittening moving to North Korean servers, where everything is slower? Because I have 7 profs maxed to 80 and was starting on my 8th. This kitten is unacceptable.

Give ranger more powerful hits and screw nerfing. Why don’t you sort out the vets that have more hp than champs, like the inquest guy by the megadestroyer volcano.

Wilderness 5 Natural Vigor. Reduced the increased endurance regeneration from 50% to 25%.

WTH! Ranger is supposed to be about movement not less movement. This a stupid, braindead design decision and I am kittening kitten ed as ranger is my main and played him the most, over 1700 hours. Why the kitten is this remotely considered to be kittening implemented when it doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Stop switching me around on teams. I know I still get credit for the win even if switched over but I have been on so many lopsided teams that its insulting on a personal level and mutes my fun when I am on top. So stop kittening doing it.

meh posted in wrong forum can someone move this please to right forum.

Why did you guys buff the hp for almost all the world bosses. They are much more boring to do now. And you ignored my advice to halve their health completely. I am not seeing myself playing past this year, or at all with all the negative stuff you have done to this game. I don’t want to argue. I just don’t like long boss fights especially as I have done them so many times already and they felt long then.

Why did you buff most of the world bosses hp?

Since i have my rings and backpack i barely visited Fractals, there is just no reason.
The only thing that made me run Fractals are the weapon skins but RNG is not really incentive.

This I can’t understand. Every single RPG has RNG-based rewards in dungeons since Dungeons and Dragons. It can not be the problem.

Just to add a bit of levity, it is a problem when you can’t save before a chest, and load the rng you desire. (I am long past that though.)

Yeah just scroll, and recognize icons. Whats white, blue and green. Doesn’t matter too much atm either as you need to salvage everything (blue &green) to boost your account-wide magic find.

Old way, Compact, Sell junk, Sell coloreds, Salvage whites, Open bags, Compact, Physically Put in Bank or Sell.

Well I’ve gotten over most of my crafting rage. I don’t need to have everything right away with the ascended and I pretend that pres and legendaries don’t exist for me. And alt token gone, oh well I will just go back to enjoying the game like I used to and doing as I feel.

Theres many good things about this game, otherwise I wouldn’t bother to post on here.

Halve the hp of some bosses as they take way too long. Not only for fractals but for dungeons too. I am reminded of HOTWP2 where the fish have almost as much health as the boss. Jormag is too long, thats boring. Take two-thirds of his health off.

Like come up with some more short dungeons like COFP1. There is some danger in being last to cross bridge, too slow to run to safety after acolytes are down, dodging boulders, opening gate with a possibly inexperienced party.

COEP1 where you have to cross the force field with three players is fun too. Where you have to fight subject alpha for the third time not so much.

Bring back full fledged stealth kits so we can spam them where we want. Say like TA or dredge fractal.

Have dev hints in dungeons and fractals so we don’t always have to explain things or so we can have something to refer to, on the fly if we need to.

i.e. Ascalon Captain stay way back after his health is below 50% and melee him at beg so npcs can grind him.

Well the logic is I am sick of kittening grinding. Thats my kittening logic. I did my kittening fractals got all my rings. I can do this kitten too but I dont kittening kittening kittening want to.

And not so long ago you were mocking us with only blues and greens falling from chests even now arah your banner dungeon blues and kittening greens from the godkitten ed chests. kitten you.

I think the more apt and appropriate question is do i like the process of getting crafting leveled for ascended gear. And to that my response is I kittening hate it. 50 lvls of crafting don’t kittening need to be there. Multiply that out by eight down the road for all armor and weapons. Thats 400 lvls of crafting kittening exotics which I already kittening crafted. This is kittening exceptional bullkitten on every kittening exceptional level.

Instead of fixing the kittening problem with the ugly kitten precursors they kittened up the situation even more. If you were working for me and you came up with this design you would no longer be working for me. Thats how I kittening feel.

Karma was just a monthly bonus for me. I only complain about the day to day stuff. And the grind sucks, sucks for what you get out of it.

What happened to expensive but reasonable, instead they kittened everything over. If I hate this now so much just for level one profession. How the kitten will I feel when its all eight professions. This is kittening bullkitten. I completed map, completed story, completed dungeons, have six 80s and have no kittening legendaries (god kitten them).
At the very least should have gotten choice of a legendary instead of pact victory kittening token on condition of map and story being complete. Now I just have this dirty toilet paper crafting shoved in my face and i gotta empty the bin. 50 lvls of exotics and rehashed for what? The globs and goo that was falling in fractals why cant i use that kitten to makes ascended, why rehash the same old kitten? Why?

15 ori ores is 1 gold still takes time to walk the map. hate this.

this is bullkitten

gathering mats is still quite time consuming, and why do we have to craft exotics again and for all my crafters, this sucks.

instead of expensive but reasonable we get this. this is kitten.

kittening sucks. Content decision makers dropped the ball. So kitten ed at this.

“Yes.”

Sack the guy who decided 50 lvls of crafting exotics again was acceptable because of sweet xp. This absurd, ignorant, insulting nonsense has broken the camels back.

Instead of just gaining lvls from completely new recipes, I am forced to retread old ones which I already spent gold and mats on to be more or less a completionist in exotics. How lazy and annoying is that.

I cannot convey accurately how extremely dissapointed I am with this kitten, inept decision making, time gating, alt loot stealing, karma nerfing, stealth kit nerfing, can’t hit them if they can’t hit you, ball of crazy grind you turned the game into.

At this point I would pay for a hacked version of the game doing away with the nonsense you nonsensically introduced.

I am done with the grind. But I am not done complaining as you Mr. Add 50 Lvls of Repeat to crafting take the cake.

You kittened it.
