Guild Wars 2

As someone who raids multiple time during the week the fact that the raid team consistently brings in new content is something I really appreciate.
Hope you guys won’t stop with the next wing and keep bringing more quality raid content as fast as possible

If you look in the trailer between 0:26 and 0:33 ANet told us Lazarus’s identity and I quote:
“Who is Lazarus”. See right there, no question mark. So Lazarus is “Who”. Mystery solved.

[SPOILERS ENTIRE CHAPTER]

So. I crafted the medium legendary armor. It’s meh. Backpieces float behind the armor. This is not 2 years of working.

I finished the story chapter, the map, got the mastery, tomorrow I’ll probably finish the achievements.

Story. Balthazar. Makes literally no sense. After teasing with “Who is Lazarus” you put a random dude there and explained nothing. What he wants to do? Why? Where is the story going in episode 6? Why did he left at the end? This should have been explained in THIS CHAPTER. It’s almost a joke: “How many episodes does it take Lazarus-now-Balthazar to reveal his plan?” A: 5 years and 2 expansions.

Map is meh. 3 layers. Way too much to run around without purpose just to get from point A to point B. The Mastery, however, is pretty cool.

Story instances. Most of the story is go from point A to point B then to point C. In the last story instance was it really necessary for the same mechanic to happen 4 times? Yes, 4. When I’m fighting Balthazar’s dogs I’m counting it as same mechanic. The instance is pretty huge with some animations but the fight happens on a single platform. Do tricks like this really work in 2017 to impress the audience?

Anyway, episode was kinda lame. Better luck next time.

Original Version (game release)

Rampage with your pet, gaining stability, fury, and swiftness. You and your pet also grant might to each other when you attack.

Stability (20s): Cannot be knocked down, pushed back, pulled, launched, stunned, dazed, floated, sunk, feared or taunted.
Fury (20s): 20% Critical Chance
Swiftness (20s): 33% Movement Speed
Duration: 20s

After a couple iterations it used to pulse boons every 3 seconds and now, with yesterdays patch it’s again a one time cast?

I don’t get this balance.

A collection for the minis that drop in raid would give players something to work towards and not just salvaging every mini for shards.

Why not remove warrior? It gives banners, EA, 25 might.
Why not remove chrono? It can keep up permanent alacrity and quickness.
Why not remove anything I don’t like?

This is currently the best 5 man content put in the game. High Level Fractals are finally starting to feel as they should. We did this with one heal druid, one engi, one dragonhunter, one necro and one condi mesmer. I tend (or I’d like) to believe that skill and experience with a class matter more in this fractal than a specific group combination. At the end you receive some decent rewards, one Caustic nightmare skin, the title and 5 APs.

Give it a try, it’s a great fractal

Even if you are focusing on new content, Living Story, Expansion and so on there are two things that should be addressed as quickly as possible:

- Living Story 1. The recap will not do it. Also telling the players to go watch online some video with the recap will not work. I, personally, got the game to play it, not to watch a lore video I don’t know where. If I’d be a F2P player that came to this game for the story/lore, tried the game for free, played the story, then someone would tell me I’d have to go watch online some 3h recap of LS1 I’d say kitten it and move to another game, not even considering buying the expansions. After you finish the original story you suddenly wake up with 5 randoms that call you boss. Also with the expansion coming, consider making a pack with the Living Story S2 and S3 included. Having to buy the game, then finding out I have to pay more to enjoy the story looks like a total rip-off. Yeah, gold can be converted to gems, then buy LS but why do I have to farm in-game a good amount of hours to play the story? I would understand if it was items, currency, titles, skins whatever, but the story? If you tell me to buy gems I’ll say that I already paid 60$ for the game that’s Pay Once, Play It, why do I have to pay more?

- Dungeons. You want players to be good at the game? Increase the rewards in dungeons. Because dungeons are the perfect place for players to learn mechanics, how to use combo fields, skips, prestack might, swiftness, where to use reflects and so on. Having players starting with Fractals because it’s hard to find groups for dungeons might not be the best idea. When they get to T4 they have no clue how anything works there, simply because the way from first fractals to T4 is filled with players just like them, mostly clueless. Then wonder why it’s hard for them to get in raids..

Keep current functionality and add this

Right Click ->

Use Infinite Mist Offensive Potion
Use Infinite Mist Defensive Potion
Use Infinite Mist Mobility Potion

Similar to salvage kits. I want to make the omnipotion but sometimes I play thief or warrior in fractals.

Change target reveal to AoE reveal up to 5 targets for a specific radius.

I’ve did it today at T4 and I have to say that implementing raid-like mechanics was a great idea The encounters were decent and required some dexterity. Players can be a bit punished during the last encounter if they are not depleting the breakbar fast enough. Overall it’s a great fractal. Hope fractals become a good stepping stone for players that want to go to raids after.
