About 2 years back on Aurora Glade I used to see a guardian called Tucking Fypo. Stays in my thoughts up till today

I’ve suggested this before, and I’ll suggest it again. I’d love to see a system implemented like Eso and Tera where the mouse locks to the camera rotation unless you’re using it for the UI. My mouse is fine, but my middle finger has been feeling out of sorts because of constantly holding down the right mouse button.

I play Tera (although not hardcore, just a high level mystic), and I plead for this kind of control not to ever make it in GW2. It’s horrible. If you’re used to checking your surroundings while fighting, you’ll just end up aggroing by hitting everything around.
It has it’s place in Tera combat (although the healing with same + a lock on feels just clumsy as hell), but not at all in GW2, in my humble opinion.

Jumping is required if you ever wish to do map completion (Vistas)

I love jumping puzzles and challenges, however, what I don’t like is being timed.

I have done my world completion and carry my star proudly, and even took a step into my first real kind of pvp experience in any game I played due to that (WvW, I actually enjoyed it with small havoc teams). I am open to new experiences if they don’t frustrate me too much.
I don’t mind jumping puzzles, on the contrary, they pose a certain challenge to me if not overly lengthy and I enjoy doing them, however I like to have the time to get off the PC in the middle of it, fetch a child trying to set kitchen on fire, and come back to continue at my own pace. I don’t mind jumping with my own skill bar, either. I dislike the aspects, and I never played the LS with the ship which had it first time after giving it a go few times. It’s just a major turn off for me – but oh well, LS is not mandatory after all, right?
But that’s all right, I was lurking here on maintenance day and will go back to help our newly built guild team to try and down Garrosh instead.

It’s probably just for the start now, I’d say it’s gonna get decreased later on.

nostalgia
Yeah, used to be much nicer.
But generally, the more poeple play, the more is the probability to encounter jerks.
I was dumbfounded when I came back after a break (cca 2, 3mo) and found out people now charge for dungeon entrance.
And the map chats, often, wow.

Elixir S nerf broke engineer mechanics

Yes… somehow this patch completely broke my bunker build. Next Time I build around gear, not gear around build, I guess… just need to postpone my Legendary aspirations and re-gear now :-(
Not that I feel so urged to play, at the moment… the broken Blizz Monk class has a lure again, after they broke my Engi

This thread just shows me how many casuals and non-gamers play MMOs. The amount of such players grows and grows and I just wonder what a company should do that every last and dumbest idiot is able to play through a content. I am really happy that there are companies that give a kitten on those, like the developpers from Dark Souls/Demon’s souls.

This game was advertised as ideal for casual at it’s release.
I am not going to do the LS and it turned me away from returning to the game, and I am casual and non gamer enough to raid heal in WoW (no, not LFR or flex). No hardcore, but I think player enough.
When I started here which was roughly 1 month into the release, it did not require jumping in progressing. Even Legendaries have 2 ways of obtaining.
This was major turn off. And the lightning pull doesn’t work for me anyway…

I love this game so much

love the game

non human armor quality is debatable

I’d say Sylvari (and some Asuran) is best, human armour is so terribly generic.

Glad other people enjoy the game though, as much as I do.
And I am as non-meta as it can get – I just love healing power stat. :P

What to do about the Watchwork Mining Pick

I am trying to craft Zealot gear and the cost is honestly breaking my back (as I am working on Minstrel and gold is dear to me at the moment), set of gear and 2 weapons, with n0o jewelry, is costing me much over 50g – which is rather a lot for gear I want to only test, but is wholy account bound and cannot give it a test ride beforehand…
I have the Molten pick from far before when they were first introduced, I wish it picked sprockets too…

I don’t feel girly

But I agree, whenever I’ve tried to create a decent looking man (from a female pov), I couldn’t it’s 99% clean shaven boy faces with milk dripping off their chin still.
Rugged, older and manly should be more of an option without paying. (Or even with paying if you must!)
