Rifle is istill the least optimal weapon right now (No, shield doesn’t even counts).
Nades are still mandatory for any build that doesn’t use hammer.

Will you pre-order the next expansion? [Poll]
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: Ardid.7203
It is relevant because right now the poll assume there are no circumstances at all.
How could I know if I’m going to pay for something I don’t have a clue about?
Please note that having info about something doesn’t require to have it released and tested.Right now the only rational response to that poll is NO. Because waiting for the expansion to release is the same as not preordering, and choosing “yes” implies you are buying a black box. That doesn’t represent reality at all, making the poll useless.
The rational, and accurate, response if none of the options describes your circumstances would be to not take the poll, and to, perhaps, create one of your own.
You might, for example, phrase yours as:
“Which of the following phrases best describes your likelihood of preordering the next expansion:
A: Definitely.
B: Absolutely not.
C: Depends on announced features.
Yes, you are right.
I suppose I just didn’t want to recognize OP poll was so badly designed.

On the Tekken Zaibatsu Forums this problem was very extended, with lots of character specific, situation specific and game specific abreviations, plus all the notations for the moves themselves, multiplied by the various platforms the game ran on.
The solution was simple, however: they added an exhaustive “Legend” section to the principal menu, and direced all the new people there.

<off-topic>Lol and people got all kitten about the devs canceling the next set of legendaries…
The targeted audience for this thread is 99% people who don’t care about legendaries/devs cancelling legendaries. It’s an echo chamber in that regard, and a silly point to be trying to make.
While you probably are right in general, I have to say that there are people (Me amongst them) who don’t really care or like the legendaries, but do care about Anet not fulfilling their promises.
The “legendary debacle” you see out here is not about weapon stats, fancy skins, entitled minorities, game economy or appealing the masses. It is about trust breaking.
</off-topic>Since most weapons work better for one specific combat strategy, (For Engie: Rifle=Power, Pistol=Condi) I doubt the stat change property is really used. So there is another reason not to do a legendary weapon.
An ARMOR with stat change, on the other hand… that’s going to be really interesting.

The option is still necesary, even if Anet has compromised the trust from a large group of players with some of their actions, because not all people work on that black or white standard when making shopping choices.
I know quite a few people who would pre-purchase the next expansion if what is shown seems atractive enough, no matter the unfulfilled promises of the past.

1- Zerk =/= Zerg.
2- I did the Octovine Zerg for the first time yesterday, and it was hella fun. There was more people on the Zerg than static, so the Zerg was the real force behind the event. First we smacked East until it was close to 0 life, then North, West and South, always leaving the Octovine at the brink of death. Then the group divided in four and did the coordinated killing. Simple, effective, and fun.
3- Armors should get 4 times the reward because they cant move with the Zerg to get the other areas.

Every time I get into DS meta through the LFG there is a lot of people doing it. Only ONCE I have seen one of such maps fail.
I don’t know if they truly like it, if they hate it but are masochists, if they are there only for the rewards, or if they are like me (Find it really fun, but don’t like to repeat it too often).
So:
Many people “love it” → Don’t know.
Many people “hate it” → Don’t know.
Many people do it → Oh, yes.

During the first beta, Hot WAS harder too.
Now is… challenging.
I understand some people want to simply run form an event to another without having to care for the rest of the creatures in the map. Well, while it seems more convenient that way, I think is quite better to have to learn how to confront the hostile environment.

GW2 can do trinity for raids without infringing on your ability to run whatever in the rest of the game. But not having proper trinity in raids leads to the devs having their hands tied when it comes to interesting mechanics.
When did “Tank&Spank” become an “Interesting Mechanic” ?
IMHO, in all this debate, the only one that gets a clue it is STIHL.
It is irrelevant if GW2 allows “Trinity” or not. What is relevant is GW2 allows MUCH MORE. Because Trinity basic strategy is BORING.
If it were up to me, I’ll organize encounter mechanics around a “GW2 Quintet” or something like that: Defense, Healing, Crowd Control, Damage (Direct and/or Over-time), Boost/Debuff. Even this could become boring after a few years, but at least is not already wasted and obsolete.

Second, a mastery line I would take instantly:
“Wanderer” Mastery line:
Balance Training – Your have a wider stable area while moving over narrow surfaces like edges, ropes and branches.
Long Jumper – Your jumps became slightly longer.
High Jumper – Your jumps became slightly higher.
Antiskid Shoes – You can move over steeper surfaces without skidding.
Never Seen Before – You can reach unmarked areas never seen before, where unknown creatures, awe inspiring vistas and forgotten treasures await your visit.

I’m fine as long no one pretend subjective opinions are objective reasons, or that their subjective opinions weigh more than other people subjective opinions.
Fact: HoT maps are end game zones designed as “challenging content”, yet everything in them is defeatable if you pay attention, learn the patterns, play carefuly and don’t pretend to faceroll everything on your own.
Opinion: I love it.

So, we agree it is not hard.
It is annoying, you say. Well, “annoying” is totally subjective, because for me, maps with mobs wich don’t require awareness or work to defeat them are way more annoying. (If I’m going to kill something just spamming 1, I prefer it doesn’t even exist).
I agree there are aspects of the HoT maps that require serious improvement (Navigation guides, to begin). And maybe some situations can trap you if your allies aren’t bright enough (Armors attacking Octovines instead of controlling mobs come to mind). But those aren’t fails on the difficulty side.
They have JPs for your target group, HoT however nearly turned the game into a giant platformer. Thats a no-no for me
They have all central tyria for your target group, HoT however nearly turned the game into a giant platformer. Thats a yes-yes for me.
