Guild Wars 2

That trinity reason really makes me laugh. Is not that you’re bound to play a specific role because of choosing a class.

In GW2 you can tune your most of the classes to play a specific part of that trinity. Guardians, elementalists, etc… can either DPS or support, heal, even tank.

Anyway, that trinity concept is nowadays more a cage than a model. It just closes doors and reduces the player’s freedom. I’m glad that GW2 has broken that cage.

I used to play healer/support role with elem. You’ll need a staff if you want to heal effectively, and some aim to cast the spells.

I was using 0 / 0 / 20 / 20 / 30, but maybe 0 / 0 / 15 / 25 / 30 would fit better. You’ll find some traits like bigger aoe on staff spells, faster ressing and so on.

I am also intrigued about the story, and I think that it hasn’t even started yet, this is just the presentation.

Anyway, all these kind of events, and the way Anet is trying to make them happen in the world looks like new grounds to me. It must be hard to adjust the rhythm of the storytelling for a mmo game. It’s hard already to do it in a movie based on a book, I don’t even want to think on how hard it must be when the audience is actually participating in your story as it develops… and they’re hundreds of thousands…

So I hope this event goes well, or at least helps on learning how to involve players and manage the storytelling better in further events. Anyway keep up the good work.

I use a keypad (Razer Nostromo). It has a d-pad allocated near your left thumb, so I placed the attunements in the 4 ways of the d-pad, having all of them in 1 finger.

I recommend getting one of those for truly enjoying games like this, or at least to have a little more control and comfort. Some of them are quite cheap, around 40-50€

Running while casting… How did I manage without it all those years?

Never EVER had this fun playing a mage-type class like the Elementalist. I’m sure it would beat just any mage of any game just for what you point out, which made my day btw, lol xD

You don’t have to compare it to “that other game”, we all know it’s dated, obviously… time passes for everything.

You could compare it to “that other game that is a failed mashup of Lineage 2 and Aion, and has a permanent crosshair in the middle of the screen, that rely only on its graphics, but in reality is just another botter-friendly, time-waster GRINDFEST, with 12yr old kids community and ridiculous gameplay, and that recently went f2p under the same company as Aion (Gameforge EU) which can only bring doom and despair to its players”

Am I being explicit enough? :P

Nah, I’d rather focus on the positive: gw2

What I like about this game, above all the good stuff and improvements over other games is mainly one thing: I trust that the devs and designers intentions and ideas are good. I know anyone can make mistakes, but almost 100% what I’ve seen is not only good, but it really feels that it was made thinking on the players 1st.
That’s what I love about this company, and what makes possible a game with so much win

Same problem here, error code 42:6:3:2158

Does this have anything to do with the maintenance, and there’s an estimated time? Some info would be much appreciated

CM has the same problem, seems a common thing for most or all of the dungeon instances.

Same here. I’ve applied all the measures adviced such as disabling any kind of firewall/antivirus software, and port-fowarding the ports that GW2 needs. Still, I get this error after 30 seconds of gameplay, back to select char screen, log again, and down again in 30 seconds or less. It’s quite frustrating, and nothing of this happened yesterday.
