Guild Wars 2

Wolfheart.1938:

I’m sorry mr. Lillian but you didn’t read the two lines the OP wrote down. He didn’t mention neither easy or pve in his post.

That being said, the strongest classes while leveling/doing dungeons are Warrior and Guardian, and don’t require particular finesse. They are not that great in solo WvW though, especially the Guardian.

The strongest solo WvW classes are Elementalists and Thieves, although they lack a bit of “oomph” during the levelling process. Both get extremely strong if played skillfully.

" the best solo class to level"

So you level solo in WvW ??? o.O

Best = Easy in common understanding on multiple forums (DCUO, PW, FW, Aion, WoW, CO, HL, LoL…)

I agree with what Vayne said …

Starting from scratch is extremely irritating and Hard

IF there’s one you extremely like, check it on 3D View, Wielded Preview, and Youtube …. and if you’re still interested, go FOR IT

IF You’re like me, and you’r profession dosen’t have that much choice , like Ele 3 weapons, Engi 2 and so on..

• Make Gifts (you’ll need skill points, Karma, Completed MAP, ectos and few other things), because Gifts are ALWAYS the same for EVERY LEGENDARY
• Wait for them to release Legendary you like
• Get Precursor
• MAKE IT HAPPEN

Why the kitten do I even ask you kittened kitten guys XD…..

I PLAYED BOTH …..
Got them BOTH to lvl 80, BOTH to exotic, BOTH went trough multiple dungeons …

YES, no matter what people say, OMFG WARRIOR IS EASIER …..
He asked for easiest, I said who’s easiest …now people are angry at me ….what the kitten is with this kittened GW2 “community” …
(probably mad because they play the easy-mode class and now don’t want to seem weak -.-")

XD ….I love how people mock me

I KNOW HOW TO PLAY ELE …

HE asked for easiest solo PvE ….
Is Elementalist EASIEST CLASS TO PLAY o.O ?

IMO it is WARRIOR … am I wrong … ?

and yes Vayne … so far this game really is a disaster , especially the way it’s headed ^^
That’s what other people on forum are trying to tell you.

When a person does something wrong in few weeks, then again in few weeks ..then limits it’s work to once a month, also doing stuff wrong over and over again ….Players can forsee that That Person ( GW2) is headed in a terrible direction, and trough forums they want to express their opinion, realizations, and to WARN others about it

9 months have passed …
- Ele has 1 viable build
- Pet Ai still sucks
- Conditions are terrible aside from 1v1

It’s not a month, it’s not 2 or 3 months ..it’s not Half a year …. This summer will be 1 year of GW2 …. CORE PROBLEMS SINCE BETA still not fixed ….

Would you suggest this game to someone ? (who you don’t hate and want them to waste money)

Just ignore Vayne, whole Forum did
(he often states his/her opinion and thinks that other have at least similar opinion …problem is he/she can’t express his opinion very well, even though some are not that far from truth :
IE, he/she should have agreed somewhat with your ideas, and then correct what HE/SHE thinks is slightly different )

as to Stof …okay ..Ele has 4 weapons … then Warrior and Guardian have >10
XD , No wonder they’re easiest and most played classes in game ^^

That video could include GW1 in the perfect games like UO, MG and LoL, because it was just like that ..and on PvX wiki you could have found hundreds of Meta-Game builds

BECAUSE SKILLS ARE CONNECTED TO THE WEAPON AND ALWAYS THE SAME from lvl 1 to 80 ….GW2 can never be like that

To create Perfect Imbalance , you need A LOT OF OPTIONS …in GW1, every class had 120 – 160 skills ….now imagine the styles and combinations …

For example, perfectly viable and FUN build was PET RANGER ….do we even have one now ?

How can there be many options and viable builds when 4 class’s have 2~4 weapon sets -.-"

IE, Ele’s won’t ever move from DD unless of a TOTAL Staff/Scepter overhaul … and who can blame them … they only have 3 weapons -.-"

;)

Ignore Belial ….

Go for Warrior or Guardian if you wan’t easiest Solo/Group PvE

I Have 80

• Elementalist – PvE TORTURE kitten you even get two shoted when you’re lvl 80 in lvl 10 zone -.-"
• Thief – Squishy, but at times you can summon 3 more thiefs … but best in SPvP and WvW
• Warrior – Easiest and the most fun…People say it’s most fun when you’re challenged ..but I don’t know …if for them to often DIE (as squishy) Is fun ???Then I’m worried about them. Fun for me is when you’re safe and STRONG and can PWN mobs ^^ . Easiest, Tankiest, Biggest Damage both Melee and Ranged, Many weapons to try out, played by Main designer (meaning favorite Class of GW2, best buffs and best future )
• Guardian (my last) – most useful in Dungeons, has heavy armor, but minimal Health …lots of buffs …still died MUCH more often then my Warrior

:D

@Chaosky : We’ll get there ..They said all professions will get new weapons/styles ..I’m also waiting that day …

But what I would like is for either Staff Water OR Earth to be remade into melee range ….
So that skills 1, 2 and 4 are some Melee-ish AoE/Cone damage ^^

Water :

• 1 – Chain Auto attack, applies Vulnerability with each strike (Freeze on 3rd)
• 2 – Cone Damage + Vulnerability
• 4 – AoE Damage around us + Freeze

or

Earth :

• 1 – Chain Auto attack, applies weakness with each strike (Cripple on 3rd)
• 2 – Cone Damage + Bleeding
• 4 – AoE Damage + Cripple

I would LOVE to smack people on the head with staff
I can’t be the only one, can I ?

I know what you mean …

I couldn’t wait to get my (OP ofc) Warrior to 80 …I spent over 10gold to get her from lvl 62 to 80 in a day (crafting)…

I was soo excited when I hit lvl 80, I rushed to LA, got my Dungeon Exotics Armor and Weapons …and then I realised …

WHAT THE HONEY BOO BOO am I supposed to do now o.O ?

(she’s not even my main …just made her cuz Warriors are OP in PVE …but I passed over 75% PvE with my Ele ..soo it’s kinda boring to go trough same Maps/Quests/Vistas/PoI again …. )

In GW1 game just started on lvl 20 (max lvl) ….here ..max lvl is actually only real Achievement..

After that all you have left is WvW ….or Legendary Grind…

You don’t need 100% Map Completed if you’re not aiming to grind for Legendary…

Orangensaft.7139:

Angus.7460:

I think there are more pressing issues to be fixed before adding more weapons most people won’t attain.

yeh but we just want to know if we can expect more so we dont make legendaries like Bifrost for a necro just because there is no other dark themed staff ^^

Completely agree …Doesn’t go with my Shadows/Ravens/Darkness/Fire/Blackness Elementalist look either

Angus.7460:

I think there are more pressing issues to be fixed before adding more weapons most people won’t attain.

Yes …but they don’t fix issues …they add bunch of new content (Living Story patches) that nobody is doing …

2-3 New Legendary weapons are like a days work in TOTAL

When can we expect new Legendary weapons ?

(I’d like if a dev could answer to this, just few words are needed)

• There are 3 Greatswords (Light, Dark and Combine) , and one for everything else.

I am interested in new Staffs ? Especially dark ones

In PvE, You can (and I did, still do) use it for everything.
Get Puissance and you can do Dungeons / Open World / Events … anything

In PvE, you can use it on Staff, Scepter AND Dagger …..

Staff and Dagger have amazing AutoAttack, and on scepter, Mobs won’t avoid you’r Dragon’s tooth ^^

I just skimmed trough this Thread and Vayne seems the …almost …only one to defend GW2 XD … (on multiple threads XD ..I remembered him because I know where he took that name from …)
Over and over and over again …

I stated the Facts and Logic
You stated your Opinion

Chill out hun and go outside , get some sunlight on your skin

No matter HOW MUCH you want to believe otherwise, GW2 disappointed (and to this day still does) many people. My Guild has over 300 members, and ~10 of them Daily are happy with the GW2, and other ~150 active Daily scream at bugs/glitches/unfairness/no build diversity/ armors

There isn’t a single thing ORIGINAL in GW2 that you can’t find in other games, while most of the CORE MECHANICS

• Skills
• Builds
• Professions
• Armors
• Events
• Dungeons
• WvW

are Unfair, No Diversity, Bugged, Glitched , Boring and Unoriginal, don’t work ….
the list goes on and on

Yes, GW2 HAS EXTREMELY AMAZING AND EXCELENT CONCEPTS … I will never be able to stress that enough.

But the END PRODUCT FAILED the designated CONCEPTIONS

1. You have no clue where I got the name. Just saying. No it has nothing to do with the Vaynes from any video game.

2. The game hasn’t failed design concepts just because you say so. In fact, the game hasn’t failed design concepts for some people.

It really is a matter of personal taste, something some of you will never understand. Nor will you understand that I don’t really care if someone likes or doesn’t like the game. That’s not my problem.

It’s people who relish in coming onto a game’s forum to say the game is dying (with no proof of it), that need to be taken down a peg.

Frankly, it matters not at all to me whether or not the game is for everyone. It probably doesn’t matter to Anet either. What matters is that there are enough people like me to keep the game going strong. I believe there are. Clearly other people believe there aren’t.

I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see.

Thx God I only have to respond to 2 since other stuff is rubbish

Response to 2.
(I suspect that you play easy class) ..but tell me ..did you ever hoped , that you’r main/favorite classes will have skills that HEAL THE ENEMY (bug/glitch that hasn’t been fixed for OVER 9 months after game’s release ??? )

You’re a player that’s happy with shiny colors, but there are players that actually like to play the game…

And you’re 100% RIGHT, ANET doesn’t care … Nobody will opose you on that

That’s why there are companies that DO care for their community

People come to forums to say what’s wrong with game …not to say “Thank you for (lousy) game” …
I don’t know where do you come from ..but that’s kinda the POINT OF FORUMS ^^

I just skimmed trough this Thread and Vayne seems the …almost …only one to defend GW2 XD … (on multiple threads XD ..I remembered him because I know where he took that name from …)

But the END PRODUCT FAILED the designated CONCEPTIONS

To all those who think GW2 is doing Good because they’re hiring :

Explanation

• Other companies fire their workers because they finished the game in 1-10 years, and for continues update they don’t need that many workers
• GW2 is extremely small company
• They have only 2 people working on Professions, Weapon Skills, Utilities, Balance, Elite skills etc….
• Most of their work/“art” is unfinished, as the attachment shows

Don’t mix hiring because of success with hiring for needs

1. Heroes

2. Ritualist

3. SPvP ~ PvE Connected
(JQ -> Points -> Zaishen Keys -> Money or JQ -> Balthazar/Luxon/Kurzick for AMber, Skills, Elites etc )

4. Builds Diversity

PS, I never said for what it is :

Strictly PvE …when you’re lvl 80 in lvl 1-17 Map

If Conjures were Kits
Hell yeah ….

I tried this for a day or 2 not that long ago ..pretty much irritating when you have to care for both charges and time

Not to mention how “lovely” it is when somebody picks up you’r hammer … -.-"

Poorly designed fix and presentation

“Make this, and do this and then make this and some more of that with this on that…”

Be a little more creative and post examples of Skills/Damage ratio

And I would like to thank all of you who share the same opinion as me, support this Thread and understand my post ^^

Preconceptions :
Yes, I had preconceptions …

• I hoped my class wouldn’t be mostly broken at game’s release and utterly nerfed to the ground ..and in 9 months have 1 viable Build XD
• I hoped for amazing and innovative armor …soo much for that ( 9 months ..Light armor still has ONE PANTS )
• I hoped for interesting and diverse character creation … 80% of Human Females (including me) have the same hair/face
• Better Graphics ofc …
• Better PvE (more involving with consequences, not just poorly designed repetitive Events OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN …. )
• Roles (no need for traditional trinity but at least SOMETHING …. Currently your role is to
  1. Damage
  2. Survive
  3. Resurrect (optional)
• SPvP connected to PvE
  ( 1. JQ -> Zaishen Keys > Gold )
  (2. JQ -> Balthazar -> Unlock new Skills / Elites)
• EDIT : And I Hoped that classes wouldn’t HEAL THEIR ENEMIES WITH THEIR SKILLS/TRAITS … In GW2 … guess Everything is possible

I admit I expected WvW to be just boring zerging around no matter how much they diviniezed it

PS. I have played Aion for few years now …have 8 Characters (some pretty, some chiby, some sexy etc) .. In those years I have NEVER SEEN Characters similar to mine…

Solo.9027:

Its not bugged, if anything its just poorly explained in the description. I’m more likely to believe the little text blurb is wrong than the formulas they use to balance the game because the profession actually works. The buff you are asking for would be overpowering and bad for the game as a whole.

Oh, please don’t mistake me being mad at their poor design and me wanting something.

If I want anything it’s to remove attunements and make Ele’s like every single other profession ^^

Cirax.9231:

Op, you are calculating “attunement cooldown reduced by x”, but the trait increases recharge rate by x.

100% recharge rate = 1 swap/15 seconds
20% faster recharge rate —> 120% recharge rate = 1.2 swap/15sec or 1 swap/ 12.5 sec
140% = 1.4 swaps/15 sec or 1 swap/10.7 sec
160% = 1.6 swaps/15sec or 1 swap/9.4 sec

Edit: Gorni has the same idea.

Increased Recharge goes by Opposite, Logic of Linearity
Explanation :

If I collect 10 apples , and increase my work by 50%, I will gather 15 apples

15 – 10 = 5 apples removed
10 – 5 = 5 apples GATHERED

If I collect 15 seconds , and increase my recharge by 60%, I will “collect” 24 seconds

24 – 15 = 9 seconds REMOVED
15 – 9 = 6 seconds CD Remaining

Meaning My attunement is 6 seconds , 9 are removed.
It’s same principle, just their Percentage is wrong.

Please go back to school and don’t troll on forums …

with 25 Points in Arcana I get 50% CD Reduction …

Please tell me how much is 50% from 15 ?

I waited and waited and waited .. .and for over 9 months I didn’t see thread or bug fix for our TRAIT LINE …it’s not about minor or major trait …it’s about whole Trait Tree

Let me explain …

• CD on our attunement switch is 15 seconds
• every point in Arcana reduces that 15 seconds by 2%
• Meaning 10 points is 20%, 20 points is 40% and 30 points is 60% …right ?? …WRONG

Percentages are taught, at least in my country, in both primary school and highschool.
So, when we invest 30 points in Arcana, our Attunement switch should be reduced by 60%

• 60% is bigger then 50% percent … obviously …
• 50% of 15 ….is 7.5 ….
• Meaning that with 50% our Cooldown is supposed to be 7.5 seconds, and with 60%, it’s supposed to be 6 SECONDS

Am I the only one who noticed that we don’t get 60% with 30 in Arcana, but 40%
How come that they didn’t fix this ULTIMATE BUG in over 9 months ???

It’s SAME as you invest 30 Trait Points in Water, Honor, Tactics, Alchemy, Nature Magic, Acrobatics, Inspiration , Blood Magic , and receive 200 Vitality in stead of 300 !

What messed up percent gives 40% with 30 points o.O ??? (it’s 1,33333333333 for those who don’t know math)
Currently, 1 Point in Arcana gives you 1,33333333333% CD reduction on Attunement switch …

WHY ISN’T THIS FIXED IN 9 MONTHS !?!?

Earth 30 :

• Obsidian Focus
• Earth’s Embrace
• Geomancer’s Freedom (or Alacrity)

Water 30 :

• ( Mainly use it for Vit, use whatever Trait’s you’d like, I suggest either Cantrips Traits or all those AoE Regen/Heals/Condition Removals )

Arcana 10

• Final Shielding

Armor :

• Power
• Vitality
• Toughness

Trinkets :

• Power, Vitality, Toughness

Weapons :

• Scepter / Focus
• Power-Vitality-Toughness

Heal :

• Ether Renewal

Utilities :

• Arcane Shield (spamm it whenever useful)
• Mist Form ( For OMG Situations )
• Signet of Earth ( only on Bosses)

Elite :

• Glyph

Gameplay :

• Earth is your main Element
• Blind when possible
• Use Rock Barrier , but DON’T “Hurl” projectiles (Perma upkeep)
• Magnetic Wave for Blast Finisher, Ranged REFLECT and Condition Removal ^^
• Obsidian Flesh after Heal or in OMG situations
• Ether Renewal adds lovely chunk of Toughness, and with 30 in Water, heals for nice numbers and removes 10~15 conditions (this is your main facetanking ability, a HEAL ^^ )

I made few Veteran players sigh when they saw me face-tanking Bosses without moving XD (and surviving OFC)

When you get to higher levels, you’ll drop the daggers

It’s useful when you need to Tank Arah ^^
I Usually don’t leave without at least 20 in earth …for Dungeons and WvW

You should see how people react when your Ele Laughs at bosses face as Boss does no dmg to me
;)

Yes, I spent a lot on Earth, and use special Utilities, but it’s worth it

For You : Toughness
When you’re DD, Vitality wont prove needed. You already have many Condition Removals. Vitality is not needed and to you it’s USELESS !!!

For Me : Staff Tank Vitality is a MUST
If it ain’t 22k HP on me it ain’t tanking
;)

PS : If you didn’t know

Toughness : ANTI Direct Damage (Warriors, Thiefs, Mesmers, Elles, Guardians etc….)
Vitality : ANTI Condition ( Necros and few Rangers )

I would say only one thing on other Profession Fairness to Ele’s :

To lower CD by 20% for all their weapon skills (from 5 Skill Engi to 20 Skills Ele), said professions need to spend :

Warrior, Guardian, Ranger, Engineer, Thief, Mesmer, Necromancer :

• 10 ( gotta love those Two Handed traits ) ~ 20 Trait Points

Elementalist :

• 70 Trait Points

That is the only case I need to say…
You can attack me on that, but it is the truth ^^
After They spent traits to lower their Weapon CD’s, other professions still have 50~60 Trait Points to spend AS THEY PLEASE
… Elle has 0 Trait Points left ….

Thank you and Goodbye
:)

PS. Biggest Irony that some profession on Traits that reduce CD on multiple weapons, still gain BONUS PASSIVE …

In spent 70 Trait Points, Elle gets nothing XD

SInce the New games (Vindictus, C9, etc) and old ( GW1 <3 Dervish were mage/warriors ) started adding Scythes and Helbeards to Mages, and GW2 is far from typical Mage…
Could we expect, when Warrior and possibly Ranger gets Scythe’s/Hellbeards, that we will also get it ?

Staffs
Concerning staffs, I would kill for the devs to even glance at Vindictus Staffs
Google them

eldain stenlund.4306:

Seriously ? are there only 2 people that balance this game at A-net ???

No wonder elemental class is total bullcrap.

They are obviously playing: Warrior, Thief or Mesmer.

Who ever is having the last words at A-net, to allow this crap. should be kicked.

Having dagger/dagger as only viable option.. for a Mage class ??
Umm, wonder if they can spell: Braindead. (probably not).

A mage class should NEVER, be in melee.
lowest armor.. lowest hp.. lowest survival.. “GO MELEE… WOOOHOO”. ye right.

80 % useless skills.
Slow animation + long casting times.
Realy bad AoE. (i dont count dagger + melee for a mage class viable).
(i also dont count using: dragon tooth, or similar skills viable,they NEVER hit anything)

I did a test. with the meteor shower on staff. BIG aoe.
Placed it right over a golem. it hit him 2 times.. for a full duration.
2 times !!!!! all those falling stones.. and i got 2 hits ??? seriosuly.
And that was a stationary target.
in pvp, if you are moving.. you never get hit. if you are slow.. you get 1 hit.
WOAA.. GOOD SKILL.. 1 hit.. for a 4 second casting time.
and while you cast it.. you get ponded like hell.. GREAT…

useless weapons.
Staff.. scepter..daggers. (a mage shouldnt use anything for melee, low hp/armor?)

If there are only 2 designers for class balance. PLEASE.. kick them,
they are clearly not doing their job right.

Uhm ….I don’t know if you already knew or wanted to look smart … but there really ARE 2 designers ONLY at work :

Designer A (lead designer) : Warrior
Designer B (co-designer) : Thief

OFC they play other profession from time to time, but these 2 are their main concern … since those 2 class’s make (easy) PvE, SPvP and WvW

Come on …Warrior is obviously OP in PvE ..and Thief on top of Highest DMG + Invisibility … can summon THREE MORE THIEFS on demand (low CD)

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

Game has nice foundations …. but the end product is terrible
IMO , some of the common problems and unhappiness :

• Skills are decided by weapon, meaning that MOST Profession use most viable choice, while others don’t even have many choices … Using same skills for 8 months now … kinda boring
• I am lvl 80 (3 characters actually XD), full exotics (all 3 also) … what to do now ?
• WvW is just zerging arround, AoEing …and destroying the gates ….same gates Over and Over and Over again
• I can Complete Map … but why …for rewards ? ..but I already have armor and weapon I wanted
• There is only 1 viable Legendary weapon for me , since Daggers and Scepter disappear when Elementalist casts spells
• That 1 Legendary is White staff … which really doesn’t go with my Blackness/Darkness/Ravens/Fire/Shadows (and think about it, what color do you see more on armors ? Celestial or Abyss )
• OP~UP professions relations
• Legendary weapon unfairness ( quantity and particles )
• 3 GreatSwords – 1 Staff – 1 LongBow – 1 ShortBow – 1 Focus …etc … -.-"
• No End Game (Crafting, Gathering, etc are NOT End Game XD …other games have it to and don’t put it into an Endgame Folder ^^ )

This game is fun for few hours and boring grinding for the other 200 … but it still has major core flaws that really need to be fixed

I have Armor, I have Weapons … I am READY for ( fairly rewarded ) action ! … but where’s the action ? o.O

Core flaws according to you. I’m curious…what would you consider a proper end game?

Something that GW2 will never have because of their stupid moto

Only End-Game deserving of playing is Power Grab ^^

What I would like with new Legendary/ies :
(lets just focus on that new staff/staff’s )

• Abyss colored …not white again -.-" (doesn’t go with my Shadows/Fire/Blackness/Ravens style)
• Decent look
• and to actually HAVE PARTICLES LIKE OTHER LEGENDARIES

When Wars, Guards, Thief’s, Mess’s, etc wield their weapons, YOU kittenING SEE IT.
When they spin you see all that blackness/redness circling around them ^^

Is it THAT HARD to either create :

• some added effect to our spells, like when Fireball Explodes some more Blackness is added to explosion or to the Meteors , When you Inscribe mark on the ground that it shines in Abyss-Red , or when you create Mess’s Shield, why shouldn’t we have some Abyssal-Red Aura around it?
  Is it THAT HARD ???

or , solution number 2 :

• Completely turn our particles to designated COLOR
  I would kill for Abyssal-Red FireBall, Ice Spike, Thunders and Churning Earth
  Imagine Abyssal-Red or Dark-Purple or w/e the color, Hand and all the Marks ^^
  Imagine your Chaos Storm, Shield ..and finally PHANTASAM, in Abyss-Red color , and not that ultra “straight” pink/purple XD

How is the necromancer status these days.
I always loved and had Necro in GW1, and it stayed pretty similar, which i LOVE … and has cool weapons and styles.
I Love the concept of Black and Blood Magic …and darkness
I Love the Wells and Minions ^^

So how is he today in Open World PvE, Dungeons and lastly, WvW ?
Are minions still more of a problem then a solution, or have they been fixed ?

There have been over 10 major updates, and I really lost track of all Necromancers fixes.
Just Loving a profession doesn’t help, out of Love I mained Ele for months, but was never truly happy

Andovar Edoras.2143:

Ill start: i have a friend who i play with, we both have ele alts, i like scepter focus and he likes staff. What makes me cringe though is the fact that he uses fire 99,99% of the time…. Just spamming fire 1 and sometimes fire 2 and 3. He only switches to air only while travelling for the speed buff.

depending on the group and the eles build, this may be the most effective way to play staff-ele

No, no and no. ONE Earth #1 and you just applied 3s of weakness. This means every non-critical hit is a glancing blow which only does 50% damage. Now do you think an overall 50% damage reduction is something to be neglected in favor of a little more DPS?

What about chill? What about AoE healing and condition removal? What about stacking vulnerability on bosses?

Staying in one attunement 99% of the time is pretty much the only wrong way to play an ele, regardless of your build and trait lines. Players who do that ignore our main class mechanic and do not take advantage of it in any way. End of discussion.

This isn’t GW1…Weakness in this game is different …When weakened, There is a CHANCE every non-crit is glanced

Weakness is useless. most of the time

And concerning your friend …I play his build and had touched Daggers for 3 hours tops in my whole gameplay.
Staff since beta, Staff today ….trust me, staying in fire is Optimal because nobody cares about broken skills and 2 second conditions ^^

Currently :

• You do ~1000 dmg
• He does ~1150 dmg

What you WANT :

• enemy slowed for 2 seconds, blinded for 1 attack, crippeled for 2 seconds
• You to deal ~1100 dmg (to weakened foe)
• He does ~300 DMG

I prefer the 1st build/gameplay

You guys are nice ..but giving you my Username, e-mail, PASSWORD, Character, DoB,

Can I apply without giving my account information …especially LOGIN information o.O ???

Karka island :

• Yaaay, empty island … No Vistas, No Hearts, No Reward …
• OMG THANK YOU FOR ….. what exactly ?

And a mountain that disappeared… That’s exciting! Or… No it’s not!

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

New Hearts/Vistas and reset :
Hell YEAH …otherwise when you complete a MAP (which this game has only a handfull ) why would you EVER GO BACK ? New Vistas/Hearts and Map Completion rewards might make you want to go back ^^

Ok, so for example I have 4 chars and I really don’t want to complete map with any more chars then one… And after getting the reword for completing map they can’t just take it back. So I’m completing map only once(ie. one version of it). So what the other versions of hearts are good for?

People go back to places for rewords or other reasons! Not for some heart tasks.

The only mistake that ANet did was to make leveling so easy and fast. That’s why maps are underused.

2 Weeks :

• there are more removed things then any here to stay things
• here to stay things are completly useless

So I say that pleasing you is just impossible. Even if would get your disheartening mountain you would say: “Nah… useless”. What’s not? Give me a real example! Because your just keep saying something like: “make something that’s not useless”. Where is any constructive feedback in that?!

I was pretty happy with GW1 for 5 years ^^
Got bored of GW2 after 2 days

Trust me …it AIN’T me

Do you guys do low lvl Fractals ?

Looking For Guild for

1. Fractals
2. Dungeons
3. WvW
4. PvE
5. Guild Missions

• Me -> Few sets of full Exotic Ele

30 Fire
30 Air
Does wonders when you know how to play with staff ^^
(mostly for stats …but if I have to name, then Puissance)

I don’t know what’s the OP complaining about ….

Sure we have many skills, but it’s not like most of them even work or are worth casting …
Just don’t use broken skills (~50%) and you’re good to go

I never die in WW or SPvP because I only stay in Staff Fire, Spamm AutoAttack and MS, and Carry signet of Air for movement speed …that’s it
You are fast, have 2 evades and Fire4 …you’re safe

I can never forgive the Charr for what they did to Lady Althea. (>_<)

I just wanted to comment on this …but I deal with it in few ways :

• I go to CURRENT Charr lands and just stand there (on a hill possibly) and watch as Ghost’s eradicate them in DE’s ^^
• If it was up to me, I would kill every single Charr existing (In Ascalon, they can have their old Northern plains)

Oh, and as much as I hate useless Logan (Mockery to Gwen’s line), I love it when he and that useless kitten fight XD

I just hope that they’ll present a new descendant of Gwen in Living Story that will kill Logan ^^

PS. I Still want my class that deals “extreme damage with a single skill”…
When you get to it ANet, thx

To me difference is when an old map completely (or at least few maps semi-completely) changes.
When I can say …

• Oh look, a Dragon came to this area and really made a mess here (all new Vistas/Hearts/PoI ) …That’s new

You really would want new Hearts? And… That would also mean all previous hearts disappear… That’s not fun at all – why would you destroy something to never come back? And what about my map completion achievement? Would it reset? That would be bad. Would it stayed as it was? Also bad… Why to bother with more hearts that does not count to map completion?

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

• Wasn’t there a lake here before
• Old man said go over the mountain …. WHERE’S THE MOUNTAIN ???

What… How would you destroy a mountain?? And what about it? Who would care?

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

• Was this fortress always here… o.O ?

Ok, so you wan’t permanent dungeons right? They’ve added fractals (was this portal always here?) and mazes for Guild Puzzle Missions and some mini dungeons (was it here before? Nope…).

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

Will this “Living World” be more like I want …or just :
Here’s new dungeon that disappears in 2 weeks, have fun!
Here’s a new jumping puzzle for 2 weeks

That’s just not fair! They’ve a bunch of stuff that have stayed in the game.

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

OMG We gave you a few new NPC’s in town!!!

They’ve already added whole island so that’s unfair either – that had it’s trees cut down and settlements build upon(and nobody cared about that).

Lillian Wandom Hale.7102:

Here’s a new dungeon here to stay ..that you really have no need of doing…
-.-" :/

This is major problem of the game right now… There is no sense of achievement in the game. The rest of your statement is just unfair or false.

You’re a sad little one, aren’t ya ?
New Hearts/Vistas and reset :

• Hell YEAH …otherwise when you complete a MAP (which this game has only a handfull ) why would you EVER GO BACK ? New Vistas/Hearts and Map Completion rewards might make you want to go back ^^

Mountain/Lake :

• Dragon/Asura/Chars, really anyone can destroy anything and everything …. play GW1, you’ll see what Chars could do 252 years ago
• I said bla bla Lake, bla bla Mountain as a contest of a remade/overhauled MAP

Fractals/Mazes :

• Fractals are for lifeless grinders and Mazes for big Guilds …what’s with the other 50% of the Community o.O ?
• We get nothing ?

2 Weeks :

• there are more removed things then any here to stay things
• here to stay things are completly useless

Karka island :

• Yaaay, empty island … No Vistas, No Hearts, No Reward …
• OMG THANK YOU FOR ….. what exactly ?

I Might be unfair towards the game that lied since 2010 …. but still, my statements are not false

;)

I Just read Johanson’s statement about “Living World” …and I have to give him credit…

He wrote this amazing essay telling about bunch of stuff, yet actually saying nothing.

He talked about things that aren’t anything new or innovative …. He mentioned instances available for certain period of time, then removing them later on …. and so on and so on…
All the things that we saw already in more games then one…

(Among others) This sentence really bugs me :
“We want to make this a much bigger part of where Gw2 goes in the future, to give a sense that the world truly can change constantly as you’re playing and every time you login.”

For someone like me who logs in every couple of months, this may be true …but exactly how much …

To me difference isn’t something that I will never visit or am not interested in…
Like adding new dungeon ….we already have >30 … (Dungeons + fractals)
1 more won’t be noticed -.-" (Nor will there be a need to finish it)

To me difference is when an old map completely (or at least few maps semi-completely) changes.
When I can say …

• Oh look, a Dragon came to this area and really made a mess here (all new Vistas/Hearts/PoI ) …That’s new
• Wasn’t there a lake here before
• Old man said go over the mountain …. WHERE’S THE MOUNTAIN ???
• Was this fortress always here… o.O ?

Will this “Living World” be more like I want …or just :

Here’s a new jumping puzzle for 2 weeks

So… What will it be ? o.O

Hi

I know you have been asked this for at least 1ooo times …but …oh well, I’m here XD

I want to make a new Ranger ..now … I don’t choose race for skills/lore etc

• I choose race for ARMORS and Attractiveness
• Sexiest and most attractive armor in this game FOR ME is Human Tier 3 Leather
• However, I already have Human Thief lvl 80

Those are the facts

My current ranking for making new character is is :
Human
Norn
Sylvari

Which should I go for ??? (*best armor combos *)
