Ghost thief needs to go.

This is making me laugh too hard. Literally played this yesterday at a server’s spawn and right outside their keep. So much fun, so much salt.

Hard to counter? It’s main counters are condi clear and you moving on….if you are in WvW and die to this build you are either AFK or really need to rethink your build. Thief jumps you, applies conditions then backs out to re-stealth…all you do is clear conditions and that’s 20-30 seconds of cooldowns for him.

I love how people complain thieves need less survivability or less access to stealth…hahahahahaha. It’s a thief, what do you expect? Stealth is their armor.

So you’ve cleaned that condi bomb with your condi cleanse build, what do you do next, considering thief jumps around you applying garbage conditions, while your condi cleanse build chokes on cooldowns

Thief build with 100% stealth and condi traps

trapper thief is about as troll any con build in the game lol.

That is not accurate at all
The only close thing is a PU Condi Mesmer, but I can see who attacks, it can’t spike, and majority of build can just run away from it with just a little bit of condi clense

When you are a new player and you were killed in 5 sec without seeing what did that, it is pretty justified to assume there is something wrong with the game.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why WvW is dying
And don’t tell me, trapper thiefs, you don’t realize that when you troll low rank players

Loot is excessive and unenjoyable

I can’t believe after 4 years, people still don’t understand how the loot system works in GW2 and think it’s ‘broken’. At this point, you should have recognized that most of the loot you get is intended to reward you with gold from selling it on the TP or vendor … the loot itself VERY seldomly is directly useful to the player

… this concept drives the whole game. It’s not going to change, especially since its working as intended.

Selling loot on the market or using in crafting is what any other MMO does.
As OP said “excessive in quantity and poor in quality” for me that means that I’m absolutely not exited about loot drops in GW2 compared to any other NCSOFT game

Only thing that you have to watch out for is medi/trap guards.

and rangers cause they will pew pew you in 3 seconds, and thieves, and scrappers, basically any unexpected fart and you are dead

How are Mesmers supposed to keep up?

When you play as mesmer, you have to think more, microcontrol, use every skill you have and still be the least effective class for PVE.
For that reason I considered mesmer to be a garbage class, up untill i hit WvW.

I know the Reaper elite trait line is entirely unnecessary for all game modes and does not represent a significant dps or sustain improvement over standard Necromancer. It is just one additional build option for variety.

Most WvW necros are reapers, don’t know why.
PvE reaper is a shredder farming tank machine.
Most elite specs offer much more in terms of flexibility, utility and fun.
HoT is an extortion

Ranger discrimination.. lol

Just don’t join squads, being on TS is all what is needed to follow commander. Or you will be put in “special” subgroup, which is quite insulting.
Personally most of the time I play as a staff/LB ranger, ~80% of the time targeted player in enemy zerg goes down, if he goes up it is quite fun to continue target him and watch his attempts to stay alive, root the running aways, get alive from most fights, poke stuff from walls. Spread cancer, have fun.

Aren't your tired of looting bags ?

Too much bags, too much salvaging.
1 SW run 1 agent of entropy achievement

Should a non HoT player quit/take a break?

Yes, Fallout 4 will be a better option, although it is the same lazy and cheap stuff like HOT, just different direction, then will be BnS and BDO both F2P, so depressing

GW2 the best PC MMO of the last 4 years.

More skins, armor sets, hair and faces, rework lazy reused animation, be less european, be less zergish, revive dungeons, make condi builds viable. And I will tell everyone that GW2 is the best for me and probably for them.
Until now it is korean p2p BnS, which really isn’t so bad for Arena, since NCSoft owns them.

Out of curiosity … what is so European about GW2?

Visual style, like architecture – starting from traditional housing and finishing with char’s industrial London.
Enemies – dragons, trolls, elementals, griffons, basilisks, I don’t know if its european but i’m gonna blame Holland, flowers
Armor – boring, from medeval courts and themes, historical, covers alot of flesh, especially heavy armor, I mean, I already know it protects me good, give me some swanky or elegant visuals ^^

Don’t like autoattack animation, it’s sound and beam and mechanics, the else is somewhat ok though

Confirmed: 250 hero points to unlock elites

The problem is people have an I want it now mentality
and are not content to let progress be a form content

leveling up masteries and unlocking my elite spec I have found to be an incredibly engaging activity with an incredible reward at the end

I got my full elite spec unlock last night after playing a lot over the weekend and now every hero challenge in the game is redundant and the hero points will just sit in my wallet tab now for the next 2 years.

people wonder why they get bored with games so quickly

it sucks to be in a games market where the majority of consumers just want give it to me now content all the time

The thing is Elite spec isn’t a goal, it is a tool, tool to have fun in other activities. I’ve played a few of MMOs but none of them limited you in skills(exept choice tree) since level cap, lack of things to do is an another problem

Something seem off about Staff design

Also wielding animation is the same as hammer animation, which makes staff look unrealistically heavy and ugly

Honestly about elite specs...

400 points is too much, I like Guardian bow, and wanna play this class only because of it, but I don’t want to run as 1/2 of a Dragon Hunter for like 3 months
