Guild Wars 2

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Core is awesome
HoT is poo

Jumping off a super high cliff (in Central Tyria) while slapping your space bar all the way down. Wondering why your glider/wings won’t deploy as you fall to your death. Only to remember as you hit the ground, hearing that dying groan your character has, that you’re in the wrong zone for gliding. Boom. Fail.

I just realized how casual this community can be , i mean seriously?!?! Actualy i don’t know if casual it is the right word to describe this thing. You no longer want to do anything , you just want things done without moving a bone. There are many genius players asking :

*Q: Why there are champions for Hero points? Why the mobs are too hard to beat?
A: The game was too easy before and thats why it is called MMO you don’t solo , it is not a single player game. Also staying face to face atacking is really boring , i really like the thing that mobs have more actions like leaps and dodges.

Remember MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online , it wasn’t designed to do things solo . PS: I’m not that social but if i need help or to do something that requires more people i use LFG or ask in map/guild. It’s not hard to get into a kitten guild people are recruiting anytime.

*Q: Why are we forced to do Adventures, why do we need silver rank to complete collections/acquire mastery points?
A: Nobody forces you , if you are too lazy and want to get gold rank from the 1st try this thing won’t get you far. Tip: watch a video on youtube , somebody who made gold rank , learn from it! PS: I’m not a hardcore player and i’m not that good at this kind of things but i try do my best.

I can agree some Adventures are really hard or some of them its not your type for example Shooting Gallery for me i can’t even get silver , probably i have to practice more. But don’t tell me none of this are your type because i don’t believe you.

*Q: Why can’t I level my masteries anywhere?
A: Because you can’t go and study Medicine and become a Mechanic thats why. Gliding is not for Tyria you can’t glide there , bouncing mushrooms none of them in Tyria and so on…

*Q: Why do we have to get masteries in order to lvl them up? It’s not enough that we have to get experience? OR I just want to explore why do i have to lvl them up?
A: I don’t know guys but this sends me to think the logic here it’s something like that : "Why do they force us to play? We paid for this game , i just want to explore like in a simulator … ". That’s the jungle you have to learn in order to master it !

*Q: How can i make gold since dungeons got nerfed , why is everything too expensive ?!?!? blah blah blahh i’m lazy again , i don’ want to play …
A: Of course the things are more expensive now there are many new things to craft. Nothing changed it was like before the expansion , every major updates did that. For example when Ascended Crafting came out. For example Silk scraps from 8 copper to 3 silver back then , linen also … They had to do something also with leather it was too cheap , you could sell it at vendor if you had too much of it.

Doing dungeons just for gold is absolutely sad , yea you won’t see many people doing dungeons these days probably because of that nerf (lol) or because NEW CONTENT! Now you can make more gold by selling these mats if you don’t need them than running a dungeon even if the reward wasn’t nerfed.

I’m not saying i like eveything about this Expansion and i’ll tell you what:

• Time Gated stuff – i don’t like waiting in for something in order to get it and i don’t talk about doing events to get to a boss or something like that , when i say waiting i mean afk/not doing anything until the event spawns without beign able to progress in that time.

• Some bosses don’t reward enough compared to time spend killing. Or maybe i’m wrong because i’m not an economist.

Yea there are more things to talk about / answer but i’ll stop. Have a nice day!

EDIT: I’m responsible for what i say not what you understand!

In vanilla we had a lot of content that was mostly soloable or faceroll simple. While this was good from a personal perspective I feel it took away from the idea that people should work together on a map.

Before HoT map chats were empty boring places. Now in Maguuma there are people who need help with a hero point or a particular group event. While they aren’t conversation starters themselves they can lead to people communicating more.

One thing I thoroughly enjoyed from FF14 was the fact that small group based content is introduced very early on and its difficulty slowly ramping up till max level. Building on top of that they have 8 man raids.

This is something that I am glad to see come to GW2 but I feel that GW2s raid content is too heavily tuned to good players without a place for mediocre players to practice their skills.

I am not saying the raid needs a nerf, the current level of difficulty IS required to make it meaningful however what I am saying is that outside of raiding there is no place where 10 players can get together and play hard content in order to get used to the type of gameplay in raids.

Currently when you go into raiding there is no prior 10 man group experience for you to draw from and it can feel quite daunting. In FF14 there are usually two versions of bosses, both of which are challenging but one clearly tuned to be beaten and one to be challenged with greater skill.

Would it be reasonable to have a ‘easy mode’ where you can beat it with AB/DS like difficulty and a ‘normal mode’ where its currently tuned now.

I’m sure there are a lot of us out there who have a lot of skill but can’t find a full team without making a schedule. Those of us who have the gear but not the team to just experience the fight mechanics.

Despite all the naysayers, we’re a small group of older players who love everything about HoT. Even having only scratched the surface yet, the amount of “hidden” things/places is keeping the explorer in us riveted, and working along with others through the big story events to get that hard-to-acquire XP so we can spend mastery points to gain access to even more new stuff. This is going to keep us busy for months and months to come.

It’s like GW2 vanilla but with the difficulty, awesomeness, and immersiveness turned up to 11.

Note: Might have had to invent word “immersiveness”.

Either way, I would wait until Black Friday

I have around 1.4k gems left and was eager to buy this glider skin. But seeing it is bundled with stuff I clearly not want, I am not buying it. No, I wait and hope they will sell it separately for 600-700 gems like the other ones.

Want the outfit myself and not the other things. If this is the way they are going to go from now on I will be heading for other games. This is no longer what I believed the game was going to be with the other problems I have with the game.

In game rewards?? oh no no no that wont do. We have stockholders don’t you know!
I think we should only have one basic skin for everything unless it is unlocked with gems from the TP!!!
Stockholders would be happy and then Colin can have another Ferrari

This is digusting , especially considering how lacklustre rewards have been including raids. Anet you should be ashamed of yourselves . I hope your greed and the broken state of this xpac turns people away .

I knew this was going to start being a thing, disgusting

Lol, Bandit bundle.
I think I know who the real bandits are.
