Guild Wars 2

All of them are good in some way. Elementalist is probably currently the “best” just because of having ridiculous damage output in general, but warriors are always essential because of their unique support buffs, and rangers are in the same boat. Guardians and mesmers are more limited towards specific defensive circumstances where you need the blind/reflect/protection, but there are enough of those that they do just fine. Engineers have ridiculous support and DPS but require a lot of button pressing, and people seem to be figuring out that they’re actually pretty good for speedclears too, but like with rangers and bearbows, don’t expect that to catch on for a while.

Just don’t roll a necro and you’ll be just fine in general. Unless you’re bad, then you’ll be in bad shape.

These two bosses were specifically added for people who want the challenge of organising a group to defeat them.

There are in fact significant numbers of people who do fight these bosses on a regular basis, and succeed. And they love doing it. At the moment they don’t have anything else in the game that offers that level of challenge, whereas more casual players who want to play solo or in smaller groups have a huge number of options.

I haven’t been able to beat either, and I’ve rarely made a serious attempt (I think once for the wurm and twice for tequatl) because I’m not interested in devoting that much time to fighting one boss.

But that doesn’t bother me at all because I don’t need to be able to beat them. All I’m missing out on is some achievements and possibly some unique skins (I’m not sure if they’re tradeable or not because I haven’t looked).

So as far as I’m concerned there is no reason to ruin other peoples fun when there is already more than enough for small groups to do.

Also I don’t understand how a queue system would help organisation. Wouldn’t that just means you’re forced into a group with whoever queued up at the same time you did, instead of being able to form and organise your own group?

Vesuvius.9874:

Make it 10 times as hard to get legendary armor than it is to get ascended.

The only thing that is hard in getting ascended items is to motivate yourself to do ridiculously easy tasks over and over and over again.

How would you make farming ressources ten times harder? If it means ten times more ressources, it would be just ten time grindier. Impressive! That sounds like a real achievement. You should also get titles like:

Legendary Lumberjack, Nemesis of the Ancient Wood Log
Legendary Miner, Destroyer of Ores
etc.

For better or for worse heroes and henchfolk made GW1 very solo-player friendly.

But the second letter of MMO is in fact “Multiplayer.”

I think you are confused between Dynamic Events and Renown Hearts. No one can now, nor ever has been able to contribute to your personal Renown Heart’s progress, except you. If a DE is happening in the area of the Renown Heart, others can contribute to its progress, but that will not affect your Renown Heart, except if you have tagged a mob, and they help take it down, and that mob’s demise should fill the Renown Heart’s requirement, etc. But, only if you have tagged it before its demise.

Legendary armor would be awesome if it had stat changing…. current ascended quality though

Second that notion. Maybe even use ascended armor as a precursor? o.O

No, it’s not fair. I want to get at least 10 gold for my 100 gems. Move up higher, exchange rate!

But seriously, the exchange rate is controlled entirely by players. It’s as fair as can be.

They didn’t have to add this feature at all you know. It could have been only buy items from the store with real money and no gems at all. No buying items with gold. Cold, hard cash for each and every single purchase. Guild Wars 1 had a store. No gems. Cash only. You want it, open up your wallet.

In fact, I think they would have been better not putting gems for gold in. People seem to get so entitled/outraged about it. Gems cost too much! People can buy gold with gems!

It never seems to be, oh good. I can get stuff for free (as no real world money) if I pay with gold.

I defeated a bearbow ranger.

Pug arah.

Convincing my kitty to stop sleeping on the keyboard.

or better, make precursors unsalvagable.

It makes not sense to have this salvagable in the first place. You’d be a complete idiot if you see value in destroying a pre. Everyone keeps it or sells it.

No salvage: problem solved

Eh. I’d prefer more challenging and smarter enemies.

It’s not Account Bound.

It’s Account Bound on Use.

There’s a big difference.

You can have mine.

But seriously I’d like to see more exclusive skins rather than fewer. I mean how valuable is a T-shirt that reads ‘I climbed K2 2012’ if you just bought it at the gift shop on your lunch hour yesterday?

Don’t have much of a problem with the idea of re-occurring events however that allow you another chance at them.

Liadri 2 – The Reckoning (Now In 3d)

How do I “casual?” Let’s see, first I put on my WW1 era pilot goggles, grab a bottle of rum, log in, select my warrior, and run dungeons and fractals half drunk while screaming into teamspeak. Somehow my guild doesn’t hate me yet.

I just did it with random megaserver, we had AFK people and even 1 troll on turrets. Just get there 20 minutes earlier and start giving orders like i do :P most people actually listens. Biggest problem is people attitude we cannot do it and screaming on turret users when they mess up.

As an exotic armor crafter who made lots of gold, I really wish I could craft Ascended gear and sell it to those who don’t want to craft.

Strike.1340:

The problem as I see it is the cost in Laurels to craft said Items.

Ummm, no laurels are required to craft Ascended armor or weapons.

The recipes cost 5 laurels for each piece of armor/weapon.

It would also be possible to make simply every craft give xp, however high it is. Currently lower tiered stuff already gives lower xp numbers, so I would not see any problem. You could still craft for xp on any char. And max lvl items still give xp on max character level.

Actually, that’s a really good idea. Move the crafting level and recipes to account wide and change the XP system so that it gets rewarded for the crafting, not the leveling/discovering. Best of both worlds!

cue the laugh track in 3 … 2 … 1

Edit: queue honestly? It occurred to me on the drive home from the grocer that I used the wrong word. I’m getting old.

Guild Wars 2 does not rely on the tank/healer/dps trinity. Direct damage dps meta in pve/dungeons is what it is for efficiency’s sake, and “support” builds are dps geared/traited with support skills.
