Guild Wars 2

Hrafn.7638:

Its a good idea, so stop crying please. Instead of farming Orr for hours, seeing two people online out of 200 in my guild and reading complaints (same people who are now complaing, e.g. crying) about GW2 having no endgame at all, Anet is finally doing something about it.
And no in case you havent noticed: It isnt GW 1 and also nobody cares about you quitting.

You must think outside your PVE point of view. All this will affect the people who do not care about PVE at all, and that is the major problem here (PVErs are getting their christmas gift one month early, I guess). WWW does not need all this.

And about the second sentence of your post: care about being less rude, please? What are you, 12 years old?

This blog post, dating back to june, 19th 2012, titled “Is it fun?” was the one that made me dream about a long term fun with no grind or “I play more time than you” gear, I actually bought the game after reading it.

Now, 5 months later, reality brings me back on planet earth and the answer is “No, it is not fun”.

Obviously, I’ll wait and see what these armours are and how they impact the game (especially WWW), but I’m too experienced to not see what is going to happen here (Daoc=> TOA expansion, War => Tomb King, etc., etc.).

A debate is going on among my guild regarding Retaliation and damage taken. The question is: the reflected portion of damage affects the target or is subtracted from the total?

To be clear:

From the wiki:

Retaliation reflects damage based on level and scales with power, increasing damage by 1 for every 13.4 power. At level 80, base damage is 267.

So, ignoring all the others factors, if I have 916 Power and someone hits me for 268 dmg:

267 dmg are reflected back and I take 1 dmg
OR
267 dmg are reflected back and I take 268 dmg
?
