Guild Wars 2

Well this change made druid even less fun. Now even more auto attack and less class mechanic uptime.

I am disappointed with this Druid as a spec for Ranger. I feel the art and roll would fit better with another base profession. I solo play mostly (not very healer friendly) so I guess I get to use my old Ranger to farm with.

I was hoping for a “fight fire with fire” Mordrem style nature (dps, support) caster using the staff.

I have fond memories of beta testing IRO. They are making another called, Tree of Savior.

You’re not alone. I was expecting plant based condi dps (poison & bleeds) with high control for support

This would have been my choice. I invested a lot of time on a ranger to play a druid of this style. How was I suppose to know it was going to be a full healing cosmic wizard.

Nature is directly influenced by the positions and alignments of celestial bodies, sorry to rain on your qq parade, but it does make sense. The celestial bodies give us things like the solstices and seasons, sunlight/moonlight, tides, etc. A lot of those things are represented with the Druid. The Druid has plenty of skills that are plant influenced and they are all nature oriented.

Channeling stars and planets is lore destroying for me. If the druid channeled on microscopic life bacteria, fungi I would have been happy. My vision of druid is more like the brown sorcerer from The Hobbit.

The form looks like astral boomkin in WoW or D3 wizard. I’m not feeling good about the druid at all.

Agree with op on this.

Amazing, It’s unique and imo a great idea. Some shiny new ideas for a rogue/assassin/thief class. They are always very similar in each game I’ve played and I’m ready for new. It’s also iconic with lore from the 1920s to the Ham-burglar.

I believe nc’s servers are based in Dallas tx. Practically the worst spot in the U.S to host servers it seems. 25-30ms latency playing that other mmo which hosts in chicago and I think L.A (not 100% sure on L.A.) 75-100ms to gw2 and Wildstar. From N.East U.S.

If they do housing I’d like them to check out “Tibia” for housing ideas. I’d like non instanced if possible. The structures were different if you wanted a mansion or apt or even slums complete with mud floor shack. Guild halls went along side the housing.

Ncsoft, I cancelled wildstar sub because of the dallas area lag issues. East coast gets terrible connection to Texas please mirror another mmo and put data centers in other states. Chicago would be good for east coast players.

@onedoesnotsimply. I feel the same way its the unfinished tools that we are using to play this amazing game. Engi kits do not get weapon stats/ turrets are underwhelming and ignored. The horrible necro bugs and class confusion/ ranger underwhelming skills and traits to name a few. Also I’d add the lack of skills/spells to use at any given time. Please more utility slots please please. D3 imo failed because of this like going backwards in time.

I have a problem with only using 14 hotkeys and a couple f skills and dislike ele/engi. I wish i had access to more skills/macros buttons to push. I hated d3 for this same reason.

I’m still having trouble picking a class as well. I think my problem is that I have gotten used to playing games with 30hotkeys, macros, stance dancing. I find the amount of skills boring in gw2. Thats the only flaw that I cannot seem to get past. It seems to make the professions less complex then previous games. Sad because this game has so much going for it and my only problem is with the tool I’d be using to play.
