Guild Wars 2

Vote kick is there for a reason. If someone doesn’t fulfill your LFG requirements you have every right to boot them from your party.

Still not as OP as flamethrower.

Someday anet might actually fix their content properly.

Do remember that BnS has been out longer than GW2 in the east and west is far off from the newer content/balance patches that have happened over that past 4 years.

Tamer master race. Or rather, master class.

Windrest server?

Windrest has about 50% of the population atm so if you don’t have premium you’re gonna have insane login queues

Yeah I’m on Windrest but for people without premium it’s better to pick any other server. Queues can get pretty long even for premium players.

Opens up for f2p on 19th, founders have been playing since friday when they opened for headstart. Has both EU and NA regions with dozen servers on each.

Will anyone try BnS? I just log for 56-67-77 and a day or two of raiding… so I need a change.

Been playing it over the weekend now and having good fun so far. Never really been a big fan of pvp in MMOs but BnS is quickly changing that. Feels more like a fighting game than a MMO.

Waiting for Overwatch to come but mostly playing Warframe, Tera and MechWarrior atm. Nothing is too serious but I’m having fun just kittening about. All f2p so can’t really lose anything but time with those.

Other vidya games that actually listen to their playerbase and offers new content on rather regular basis.

Gw2 is in a really sad state atm. PvP is snorefest with horribly unbalanced bunkers, WvW is abandoned and forgotten, PvE is gated behind zerging or horrible timegates (or both) and the last few enjoyable bits of content were ruined with abysmally bad rewards and/or dumb mechanics that were clearly made just to frustrate the “zerkermeta”.

Everyone else is too busy tanking their MMR for easy wins. :v

Idm the grindy bits because I knew it beforehand but suddenly slapping huge grind walls and gating content and rewards behind them (fractals say hi) is just disgusting and pretty much the main reason I’ve stopped playing GW2

Kinda stopped playing after HoT came out, never got around to finishing the story with kittened mastery gates/grind not to mention the glorious fractal update.

Mostly been playing Warframe and Fallout 4 to pass the time.

Sup honey bunny.

So uuh, are healers still a thing in raids or was it just a thing of the moment?

Would have to be quite a disguise to conform to all 9 of my lovely lettuce ladies.

cough I’ve been running fractals and dungeons daily cough You know there’s always a spot for you cough

Playing with you means having to deal with Charr. That’s a very big tradeoff, not sure if it’s worth it. :^)

You pitiful human, I will crush you. Rawr!

Edit: Does anyone have an idea what’s the status of [NooB] at this point? I saw Ares decided to quit mentoring outside of the guild, I don’t see NooB being very active. Hey, I might actually start up a dungeons/fractals mentoring, this will be something fun to do.

He thinks Sylvari are the same as humans, hah, that silly Charr.

You’re lucky I’m not vegetarian.

I’m lucky I don’t have to touch that lice-infested fur of yours.

You plebs. Sylvari are obviously far superior to some filthy humans.

Drama never fails to spice things up.

Because it’s easier to just add 0 to the end of the HP bar.

The lower damage actually makes non zerker specs a little more favourable. Due to constant high pressure. But the super high toughness and health does the opposite for a time perspective. But then the pressure is also no longer ignorable. So sustain and defence has shifted into a bit of active and a bit of passive.

Im a little torn about it. I like that i have to change my builds a bit more for some encounters. Im not too happy about the shift into requiring more passive defence even with good active defence management. And im certainly not happy about how long it takes to kill some bosses now. Its definitely better to have them last longer than they did before. But for some of them its far too extreme (flame effigy on molten duo erghh).

The Anomaly in Thaumanova. Worst offender due to melee downtime when every platform ever blows up.

I can’t really say I experienced what you described though, then again I don’t know how it looks in 91-100. Some fights really need to get toughness reduced though, even if they ramp up the HP in turn.

You can stand on the corner of his central hexagon and won’t fall down. Tho he does the knockdowns that ignore stability but still no need to move anywhere.

Pretty much every single instability on higher levels is designed to counter act the “zerkermeta” which is absolutely BS. They are fighting against thier whole combat system with these instabilities.

Not to mention even more RNG rewards gated behind masteries/gold sinks. I used to love doing fractals but the thought of doing them now just makes me nauseous.

The unrelenting assault. And they also nerfed that by 50%.

While it might be a decent change for pvp folks it just completely guts it in pve since it finally gave rangers an on demand smoke field.

Not to mention they randomly decided to swap out the f2 from smokescale so we lose our only usable source of smoke fields.

So instead of having to do 4 fracs for 45 min we only need to do one, for potentially 10 mins only and get same reward or better? (But u can only do this once per day?). If so then thats a forgiving change

Tbh I’m not really happy with that change, at all. At least not if it’s proving to cut down fractal play time you are actually rewarded for.

//wow I shouldn’t open multiple threads at the same time and then go through them, kitten Taku

Some of us actually enjoy doing the content for the rewards and not just login to get shinies. Anet really enjoys time gating fractal rewards with each fractal update and leaving those who enjoy doing fractals just sitting afk in LA because it’s pointless to repeat outside daily rewards.

Much rather have pre fractured character based personal levels so i might actually get the freaking tonic someday.

Just ask the ele in your party to drop fgs for you and it’s easy.

Dungeons = zerker since every boss dies when you look at them wrong.
Fractals = sinister since fights actually last long enough for condis to ramp up and is more survivable when you don’t have to deal with sword AA.

Also sinister druid might be a strong contender since you won’t need BM or WS to actually keep pets alive while boosting party dps significantly.

tbh, necros should get either 25% or 50% life force out of the gate anyway.

That’s basically bullkitten, Necros should have 100% life force to start with. Does any other class start with completely unuable class mechanics? Do mesmers have all shatters on cooldown to start a fight? Do thieves start with 0 initiative?

Warriors start with 0 adrenaline until they actually get into combat.

Also means ranger can become a staple class in “meta” comps because spirits don’t die to a fart.

#CallingForSpojski!

Inb4 leaderboards get pushed aside making the backpiece unattainable like fractal skin boxes.

I don’t get why people care about world firsts on here so much as they are having emotional reactions over it, wtf. It makes no sense to me how someone could possibly care that much about whether or not two guilds they aren’t in are testing the raids.

I can think of a million other things right now that would make me much more upset than that. Meh, trying to make sense of it is pointless I guess.

Emotions carry neuroses and old grudges as water carries debris and slime.
It gets particularly bad if you’re ashamed of it (as we’re taught) and try to mask it with “cold logic” or file it under “reasonable complaint”.
Coldness is overrated anyway. Speak up.

spoj.9672:

What do Attuned do? Not heard of them until now.

Wurm & Tequila kills afaik.

See guys, necro is obviously higher dps than warrior. :^)

Frost trap should remove a boon or 2 per pulse. Would actually make it worthwhile in the current pvp boon spam.

Surprise kitten attack!

If so then resistance should nullify direct dmg completely.

Core masteries weren’t available during BWEs so couldn’t test.

There’s nothing wrong with the “healer” also providing dps boost. For example in Tera which is a clear cut trinity MMO both healer classes provide ample party dps boosts in addition to healing.

I get that people are upset but why do people have to clutter this forum with their own topics? Everyone thinks their opinion is so super important that it deserves its own topic?

I don’t quite understand it either, maybe they think ANet is more likely to see it this way? I don’t know.

@Acotje: You say that, but there’s games that actually require entrance items for certain dungeons. The difference is, you can actually get good items out of those and at the same time, farm for guaranteed items rewarded through quests.

Some want attention, some are clueless, some just rage post without even trying to look forward relevant thread and knowing Anet tries to gather all threads into one messy megathread and then completely ignore them.

Also most threads now on this subforum were probably posted under general and subsequently moved here by over zealous mods.

Potato!

Because baddies die to burn builds and proceed to swarm the forums with complaints instead of learning how to counter them.

Well, I guess there goes my chance of ever getting my dungeoneer collections done …

You can always pvp. :^)

A legend. Some say he might even be the PHIW God that far surpasses Nemesis.

You didn’t have to do anything LS related to unlock them. As long as you logged in during the time a certain episode was available it would be unlocked for you indefinitely.

Yeah it’s based on pets hp but on a bear that means taking about 50 hits from old tom before it goes below 90% with bark skin, protection, weakness and then adding TU which keeps it above 90 pretty much the whole fight.

Even the Smokescale is meh since only way to make it op was to focus your entire build and utilities to buff it to perform one single attack that could easily be double dodged/blocked leaving the ranger pretty much a free kill.

Do you have those episodes unlocked already by logging in when they were available?
