So let me get this. Now some want a change to how melee and ranged combat works in the game, affecting the entire balance of the game on all game modes, just because someone wants to “role play” their ranger with a bow?
We’ve seen more unreasonable requests in the past, but this sure is one of them.
Reminds me of that person I had in my group when I run Crucible of Eternity that refused to come in melee range because “Subject Alpha is too ugly, I won’t come close to him”
The irony…
PvE in this game isn’t balanced, that is the point, in a well balanced game people can actually go ranged…
Endgame slightly improved. High level fractals require brains. Raids have decent difficulty until you learn how fights work. After that it is not harder than T4 fractals. The only problem with the current endgame is slow release pace. It is reeeaaaly slow.
Team play is mostly the same outside of guild groups or high level fractals and raids. It is still a bunch of people being alone together.
The whole point of fractals is that they can be a random mishmash of stuff. They can make a fractal where you charge a megalaser to kill mordremoth and it will make perfect sense in the lore.
I did not say it was a “fact”, however, common sense will tell you that any attempt at unnecessarily controlling players’ time or fantasy is ill-conceived, which both LW1 and the ranger pet thing represent.
It’s also a fact that not having LW1 in the game creates a big hole in the story that should be a priority for them to address.
And yet many people are saying Season 1 was the best living story season and they wish that would happen again. So it’s not a fact that it was a bad decision. It’s only a fact that you didn’t like it.
Well there are people who defend Warner Bros. and their decisions regarding Shadow of War.
My opinion is that Living World Season 1 was great. I wish the Devs had been able to keep it going all these years.
It was amazing. Especially the part when they deleted the whole thing. Losing year worth of story and character development is best design decision they made in years.
Tell them to get bent and find a less absurd group.
They’re basically asking you to give out hair, blood, urine, stool, and skin samples. Along with previous work history, your entire extended family’s full names, your own address, and what kind of things you spank the monkey to.
Pretty casual list for eve online tho LuL. But yeah like others said asking for API is not breaking any rules it is just kinda dumb and inefficient since it is possible to share character profile with a gw2efficiency link.
I think it’s a bit naive to expect that ANet is going to have time to communicate much about any of our individual concerns or to equate “ANet isn’t saying much” with “ANet isn’t doing much” or even “ANet isn’t paying attention.”
That’s why companies have community managers. No one is expecting Bill from server maintenance to come on forums or social media and give us dev notes.
It was eh already. Now it is eh-. Why even make it for the looks when you can get a kitten meteor glider or those crystal wings that look more impressive for like 200 gold.
Look at it from a wvw and pvp point of view. Those guys have to leave wvw to play pve for legendary weapons, more than we have to join wvw for ours.
Well pve is a main thing in gw2. spvp is a joke mode at this point and wvw still has people only because it is a bit less brainless way to get pve gear.
Maps are replayable but they are about as fun as getting stuck in a time loop forever. Nothing ever changes and player actions mean nothing. Living world lol.
IMO they should disconnect raids from gw1 lore or any meaningful lore. Continue with that stuff in “current events”. Atm they just kitten off way too many people for no reason.
Make some raid/fractal crossover where we fight some space cthulhu who found out about our dimension because the fractal research team blew something up in the mists. Basically make stuff up and focus on rule of cool and fun mechanics instead of lore and backstories.
One of the big feedbacks from the. community was for raids to avoid significant story continuations in raids. Casual players or non raiders did not want to be forced i to raiding to find out whst happens next. Any story in the first three raids was recapped by any npc in bloodstone fen, which worked well
Was it? I didn’t play GW1 and I don’t remember it being explained to me what was going on. They have this huge story about Lazarus – who is Lazarus and why do we care?
I have since learned the story from videos, but I had no idea at the time I was playing it.
They did not explain anything in raids. I raid every week and I have no clue why Lazarus is important and who that Saul D’Alessio is and why we even went to that prison.
Making story mode will just create more questions since story makes sense only if you played gw1 or watched lore videos.
It wont be simply because its an extremely risky thing to do, and extremely time consuming, and thats mainly because Anet has no idea what kind of PCs people are using to play it, or what type of Internet connection they have or what speed they get.
They can find that out in a few weeks by creating an anonymous hardware survey and asking everyone to generate one on game startup. Frontier has one in the Elite Dangerous launcher and they found out that less than 0.01% play in 32bit mode and that around 2% of playerbase used dx10 or older.
They already dropped 32bit support completely and soon will scrap dx10 to speed up development and reduce amount of bugs.
I wont buy the expac just for the features that they are selling me rn. I would only buy for raids. Where are the raids that will make me buy it?
An entire 1 wing is probably coming probably this year and may or may not require PoF. Current “release schedule” of 1-2 instances/year will probably continue. Get hyped.
When someone makes a relevant, contributing comment in an older thread, we should leave the thread open to see how it develops. Naturally, valueless comments wouldn’t be great, and they might result in a thread closure. But what happened here was perfectly fine. Someone actually went to the trouble of finding a thread (which ain’t easy without a search engine!) and adding meaningful content, and that’s just fine.
I will make sure that the moderator team is aware of our practices, so that a necro post without value is acted upon but relevant comments remain.
After I entered the 1st story instance and got whacked, i just changed my build and gear for a little bit tankier version and never looked back.
This is pretty advanced stuff for an average player. When you learn your class and traits you are already half way to the “elitist” status.
Not sure if they gonna buff the mobs to make it more difficult and engaging. Few years ago they dumbed down starting maps to the point where you need to dance for cows instead of take hay and feed them, and level locked half the game because “it was confusing for the new players”.

GW2Navi can do that and then some more. Has GPS feature and you can get chat codes for waypoints and stuff. It is just an overlay that uses API so its not a “legal hack” like dps meters.
How is the Skimmer nothing new? You float over water.
Swimming does not slow characters down or requires you to do anything different from just running. So floating over water is pretty much just a different animation. Now if swimming would slow you down and/or consume stamina then floating over water would be pretty neat.
