I agree with OP.
I don’t see a point in playing SB, unless you wanna do some zerg in wvwvw and get rid of your pet because it’s always dead; even in that scenario, you’re still useless to the zerg and you would be better off with another class or as a druid.
About the daggers I agree with everything too and I think that the range of the leap should be increased.
Also they gave us a 1200 range crippling dagger and than we still have a short bow with 900 range and a useless pointblank poison multishot. Not to mention how boring is the longbow, where you basically autoattack all day long.
I constantly need to look at the bar to check the heat level which is bad.
I don’t like the third hit of the 1h sword animation, it takes too much time to hit and the animation (rotating the sword like that) is just stupid.
While trasnformed the leap is on 2, while with sword and hammer is on 3..just put it on 3 too so that I don’t accidentaly fire another skill since I’m used to hit another button with 2 other weapons please.
The pistol skills has 600 range, should be 900.
Adventures were not the problem. Some are kinda fun and it’s something else to do in game.
The problem is locking mastries behind them with time limits tanking all the fun out of them and making it very frustrating to do.
This.
Masteries should be like experience..you should be able to get mastery points while doing whatever you prefer..pve, pvp, wvwvw, crafting, events, adventures, etc. Not just achievements with timers and such.
I don’t like it, please remove it.
You won’t be able to keep anything – mounts, masteries, XP, gold, items etc. that you get during the beta. It will all be wiped at the end of the weekend.
The purpose isn’t to give people a headstart on completing PoF but to test it (hence, beta test). So the point of unlocking mounts is to make sure unlocking them works and you like how it’s done. If you’re not happy about anything now is the time to let Anet know because it’s much easier for them to change things before release.
(That’s also why everything is wiped – so they can make changes without either giving people who played the beta an unfair advantage because it was easier or putting them at a disadvantage because it’s more complicated or bugged. In the worst case scenario it’s possible we’ll uncover something which completely breaks part of the game – would you really want your character to be forever unable to complete the story because they started on an unfinished version that was being tested?)
I know what a beta is, there is no need to treat me like a moron..but they advertised it as a preview where you can play the first map and unlock the mount..that’s why I asked, check the launcher and click on the link, they didn’t write beta test event anywhere..so no, it’s not about me wanting an advantage or be unfair to other players or other kitten you wrote..it’s about bad advertisement on their part.
Also if you think they are going to change something a month before the release because you don’t like it, you are really naive..this is not about testing either, it’s about advertisement and sell more copies..otherwise you would be able to test all the ontent not just the first map, but they have they own testers for that.
You can use your existing character on your current server
either this, but no progression would be saved; or you will have to create a new beta character (like in HoT) and get a boost to 80 with each one you make, still no progression and they are deleted after the beta ends.
I think the second option is the more likely.
Then is it pointless to unlock the mount since everything is going to be deleted? Or will we be able to keep it and use it after the event ends?
At what time does the “event” start in EU please? Thanks.
I think you are using a different definition of casual than most people would. If by casual you mean “no inclination to do anything challenging” and “just want the face roll easy status quo to remain” then I’ll agree.
Most people would simply define “casual” as someone who plays on an irregular basis or less than X hours per day. Not playing much has nothing to do with being able to play HoT.
HoT can be super casual, the events are on all the time, you can literally do one within 30mins anytime of the day, the maps hardly need any of the masteries to get around, I didn’t unlock much of them for weeks or months after launch and played through HoT no worries, casual as.
I think you’re confusing challenging with annoying.
When you open the map and there is a huge road that leads to where you want to go, you follow the road avoiding hordes of enemies that constatly hit you slowing you down, and then you discover that the road is not right but instead it’s leading you toward a dead-end with even more enemies..that’s not challenging, that’s bad design and it’s annoying.
When you have to do a daily adventure and it takes 15 mins to get there because the map it’s a mess, there are only few WPs and you can’t use them because there is a fight that’s prevent you to teleport there..that’s not challenging, that’s bad design and it’s annoying.
When you finally get to the adventure start point and you can’t play the adventure because there is currenntly a huge and long event near that part of the map..yeah you guessed.
When you complete the adventure, get a silver score but find yourself inside a room full of enemies that charge you all at once and one-shot you..seriously wtf? Why the game doesn’t teleport you to the beginning or outside instead of leaving you there and get smashed?
All the above happended to me this morning while I was doing a daily and the beetle adventure. Was it challenging? Nope. Was it annoying? Hell yes..I completed the daily and log out because I was kittened.
I think OP had a similar experience..I wasn’t doing a raid, or pvp or high level fractals or whatever, I was doing a simple daily and some exploration and while I’m doing that, I’d like to relax and not be annoyed and kittened off by everything there is on my way.
It did.. very much so, with HoT.
In what way?
Well for openers, and this is just walking into the zone, they made travel around the zones multi-leveled (and requiring at last some masteries) thus turning each zone into ginormous jump puzzles.
But, if you really had not idea of the many thing that were done that made HoT unfriendly towards casual players, so much so that you needed to ask this question, I am going to wager that you are nowhere near close to being a casual player yourself, so, no offence to you in any way, but it would be impossible for you to gauge if PoE was in fact casual friendly or not, thus you really could not answer my question.
I feel you, I’m trying HOT for the first time and navigating the maps is a freakking nightmare. Imo when you play a game you should relax and enjoy it, but most of those maps are so kitten annoying and full of hordes of enemies that constantly harass you that I get so kittened to the point I just quit the game.
I really hope that POF is different, I’m starting to regret buying it sight unseen.
Same here, after the update I can no longer enter the game.
I login, enter the character selection screen and choose a character, then, everytime, I receive this Network Error 1083-5-7-1595-101.
