I agree that the ‘group of hero’s known as dev..i mean destiny’s edge’ (yeah they are so whiny that i don’t even want to remember them) is so lackluster that I’m not even sure why they are even mentioned. They are there to guide the main character, but just end up kittening at one another about past issues while an army of undead are coming to eat everyone’s face off. They seriously couldn’t set that stuff aside for a while? No respect for anyone that selfish. Trahearne is a nooblord that’s only good for his knowledge of orr and the undead…not someone I actually want to follow into combat COUGH LOGAN THACKERAY COUGH. What’s done is done though. Can’t just go back and change all of that. Soooo I’m totally on the side of the OP, Give us a new storyline constructed like the three tier storyline we have while leveling. A new set of characters to be emotionally attached to that aren’t cliche or have flaws that make you want to smother them in their sleep.
No more dragons ZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZ…no more undead (I’ve been killing undead for years and need something a little more disturbing/scary to destroy for hours/days/months and gasp YEARS1!!11????//!) No more taking a back seat in main story lines.
I want a villain or group that I can really hate. Something that has offended the people of Tyria and that I can relate to or at least get behind to kill. Yeah saving everyone and the world is cool, but what about some justice…or better yet, a story driven by retribution. Queen Jennah NEEDS TO DIE. Logan goes ape kitten…goes a little crazy and wants to avenge her death. Rytlock helps him not completely lose it and channel that rage into keeping the pact between humans and charr from crumbling. Meanwhile the Seraph has a new hotshot prodigy rising through the ranks looking to make a name for himself with any opportunity. The Norn need to take care of business and launch an all out offensive on the sons of svanir. I could go on but the point is that there are so many ways to drive the story here that I can make stuff up on the fly that actually sounds fun or engaging.
Besides knowing your skill bars and what to do in a certain situations, key bindings will make or break a high maintenance class. A gaming mouse could help, but I prefer my cheap alternative. Here is a list of keybindings that I use (for engineer) that I believe increase my mobility, dps and kit swapping speed..which leads to better survivability. Oh and before the list remember to alternate between L & R simultaneous mouse button movement and W key while using these.
R (or Q , E) replaces ‘5’
Alt + 1, 2,3, Q,E,R used in place of F1-F3. I like heals on Q and E for grenade barrage.
left Shift + 1, 2,3,Q,E,R replaces ‘6-0’
This setup allows all you to reach all of your hotkeys without ever having to move your middle finger more than 1 key away from W.
