An alert of some kind that your weapon skills have been swapped to something specific to a quest or heart or whatever. Several times I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out how I’m supposed to do something without realizing tools have been provided

Yea, I want lots of procs
edit – unless they share a cooldown, merp.
Well I just posted this and it vanished pretty quickly.. I have no mails saying “this post was moved / moderated” so OBVIOUSLY it was just a glitch in the matrix right? Mod’s wouldn’t delete a constructive criticism right? RIGHT?? So glad I’ve spent almost $400 on this game and get to voice my opinion…
OP
Combat is boring.
Waypoints / loading screens destroy immersion.
I love literally every other aspect of this game, I’ve been salivating over this game since it was announced, I wanted this to be my game sooooooo bad, My gf and I both got CE, we got the biggest wall print possible from your store, I evangelized to everyone I knew, I even made a thread in beta “best game ever made”, I WANT TO PLAY, but I just can’t pretend anymore.
Weeks go by without logging in. When I do manage to log in, I’ll stare at my toons for a while trying to build enthusiasm for ANY of them.. I usually fail and go do something else. On the rare occasion I manage to get in game I’ll just run around for a bit… usually doesn’t last more than 20 minutes, then I’ll start switching toons, eventually I just go do something else. Even when I’m playing with friends and having a great time I still get bored and swap toons every 45 minutes or so.
COMBAT: y’know why I can’t settle on a class and get hung at up the char select screen? Because it takes a whole 10 seconds to think of all the skills of a certain class and about 50% of those are not interesting / not my play style. I feel like I have NO choice! I do skill triage on level up: I actually have to reverse-rank in my head and pick the least bad skills on my way through the tiers, so so so so so so many are beyond dull. Compounding this… 10 active skills at a time (don’t say ele / engi / nec or something, I said ACTIVE skills (they’re actually the only classes I can stand playing)) is not even close to enough, it’s head-deskingly boring (and easy). I know this is actually 2 more skills than gw1 and thus unlikely to change, that’s what prompted this post… I know it’s not changing. Oh, traits, yea.. swapping passives really get’s me moist and involved.
If you say “you don’t even use that many buttons in other mmo’s! all of them come down to just a few!” then you’re lying to enhance your position or you’re a baddie, PERIOD. This is the biggest load of crap perpetrated by the mmo community and I’m tired of it. Even WITH macros I still used 4+ FULL hotbars in wow / rift / eq / aoc / etc. Hell, I use more than 10 buttons in frigging EVE! b.o.r.i.n.g.
Do yall (anet) realize you have more choice and quantity in abilities with 1 soul in Rift then an entire gw2 character does? That each character can combine any 3 of the 9 (x4) souls available however the hell they want and swap between 6 (!) of these combinations anytime they want? Recent events have highlighted the perils of living in a bubble; newsflash — people like choice.
TRAVEL: I would much rather travel by foot / mount / air / spell / boat/ whatever / than use the current waypoint system, even if it meant taking ten times as long. Truth be told, I LIKE things taking forever to get to, like eq1 or ffxi, makes it feel more….. massive o_o. As it stands, I feel like I’m playing a console game, I hate it. back to back to back to back to back loading screens suck. They DESTROY immersion, they make groups drift apart. It all feels weirdly compartmentalized and jagged, too instanced. The art and sound of this game pull you in like a black hole, you’re THERE, you’re loving it, then boom… gotta do 3 loading screens at once and jump across the freaking planet on a whim, bleh.
Please do something Anet, it broke my heart to write this.
