For PVE. I pretty much use a high int build with lots of dodges and swiftness. Using short bow as the main weapon for AOE trash pack damage and instances that requires a lot of evasion whilst using D/P for single target, melee situations, blind tanking and interrupts.

While it isn’t a stealth build. Blinding powder, shadow refuge, black powder/HS combo all come in handy for condition removal.
Gear should be no other than full berserker to obtain the best possible damage.
Would rather pay a sub. That way I know quality is assured (snip)
Are you implying that every game with a sub releases only quality content? Because I keep hearing this argument really often and I wonder how paying monthly assures anything.
Because when quality isn’t assured. People stopped subbing. Then said bad quality game fails and goes free to play.
Actually TSW and Rift were both good quality games that went free to play. Lotro was a good quality game that went free to play. I don’t think going free to play has anything to do with quality.
And WoW has had some really bad products. But they also have the money to advertise a lot. That helps with sales. Which gives them more money to advertise more.
There are probably more people that have left WoW over the years than are currently playing it. That doesn’t make it a bad game or a good game, but other games that have gone free to play were certainly good games.
Whether people will pay for something is not always a sign of it’s quality.
Pet rocks were very very popular.
There are a lot more bad F2P games out then than sub games.
The closest thing I could see happening is a guy getting mailed the winnings and getting inadvertently banned by the autobanner.
The forum moderators don’t think it is the case.
It’s an automatic banning system if you send too much gold through the mail. Which is a down right absurd system.

Reason why I never purchase gems from the gem store is because I’ll know I’ll never get full access to the game no matter how much I spend. Thus I don’t support it.
Offering a purchasable expansion is the only time I’ll “whip out the good ole credit card” instead of buying virtual items.
It didn’t fail it is not appreciated just for what it is. Could they have given you 600g plus a precursor of choice, absolutely. They did what they did.
I would have settled for a precursor, but that’s just me. If you don’t have a precursor after a year. Anet is doing it wrong.
The one jumping puzzle I caved in and took a mesmer portal to the end was the Aeatherblade jumping puzzle. Because that puzzle does not rely on your skill in jumping. Rather luck and latency.

How the heck are you guys getting red circles that far in?
That’s a zoom lock hack.
Plus any one can expand their field of view just by going manipulating the window size in window mode. Not to mention those with multiple monitors. It’s really difficult to detect some one legit and some one using a zoom hack.
So with the new patch. There are now less champions in the meta event.
Which is awesome. Because now Frostgorge is going to fail every single time due to champion farmers ignoring the event and going fish, kodan, norn, drake, quaggon, troll, wurm, repeat. Taking up spaces that could be useful to completing the event.
At least when the event was spamming champions. It enticed them to actually you know. Help.
Yea so I suppose fun content is out of the question then. Oy vey. ArenaNet. I give up. There are enough new and shiny things on the horizon. I don’t need this crap.
If you’ve managed to find a modern MMO or Co-Op game with an easy to reach stat cap that will not change in the future, please pm me its name.
The problem is that they can’t seem to design hard encounters without resorting to lame instant kill AoEs. Yes, we get it, dodging is cool but isn’t it time we start making fights about more than just dodging the evil circles of death?
… And if not can we at least make pets take significantly less damage from them? While I’m not a ranger I do miss my minion master build.
I’m sorry but other than Liadri where has the game used instant kill AoEs?
And what are you proposing to replace it as a hard mechanic?
The entire system was ill-conceived. The travel can at least be circumvented by having someone there to res you when you die, but the queues are a constant reality for any larger server or any popular play hour.
It’s like they didn’t learn their lesson from The Mad King’s Clocktower at all – people don’t want to be forced to wait several minutes to reattempt challenging content that just handed them their kitten . Most of them want to get right back in there and give Liadri or that stupid tower what for.
(And this is coming from someone who successfully completed both).
The difference between the gauntlet and the mad king’s clocktower is any one could participate in the clocktower, you did not have to run from a far waypoint upon failure and movement lag was not a factor.
Guys i’m sure we haven’t aquainted ourselves properly with darkhaven yet but Azure is our resident forum troll he only smack talks when you’re whinging. Please feed him more tears. *
