Wow, Warframe dropped quite a bit.
That annoying green star in the top corner is the Number 1 reason to do the personal Story. Between that, and the kitten LS and whatever the meta for the zone is and whatever the DE is there is no room for the Loot Scroll.
Please do us a favor and add an option like
“Show Personal Story”
“Show/Hide Living Story”
“Show/Hide Meta Event”
etc
Tell me lies Zadorojny. Tell me sweet sweet lies.
What motivates you guys to continue playing then?
Sunk Cost Fallacy
There’s currently no grinding for PvP. Just click the pvp button go to the mists, pick your gear/build and go.
They’ll be adding grinding for new gear options in the future because they’ve lost all hold on reality.
If you want to use your PvE gear in a PvP setting you can try WvW but it’s mostly a zergfest.

- Ring of Perception - 1200 gems – Wearer of this ring perceives all opponents as humans. Usable only in PvP. Account bound.
(other editions could be possible: Norn – for people that want to fight norns. Asura – for people that want to fight disgusting mutated drowned rats. Etc.)
- Ring of Acrophobia - 1200 – Wearer of this ring will never be placed on the Skyhammer map in competitive tournament play. Usable only in PvP. Account Bound.
I’m not really serious.
Gimmie.
Timer needs to be reduced and clearly displayed. It’s disappointing to see that they learned absolutely nothing from Tequatl.
Spawn timers are too long and they added the greatest artificial difficulty of them all. Other people’s stupidity. A standard instance would have been much better, where you can succeed or fail on your own merits, not because Jack and Jill were RPing in the corner and let their lane fail.
The tip is misleading, you need to put 20 kegs down(very quickly, almost all at once) right below the red arrow, not just anywhere around it like it says. And portals dont work btw.
It’s truly awful conveyance.
Dulfy save us.

New content would have been nice.
Pretty pathetic that they must’ve downsized to the point of having hardly anybody doing anything other than recycled LS content.
Sigh. I wish they’d hire more staff then.
It’s not actually that they downsized, it’s actually worse than that.
They actively disbanded the dungeon team and placed them on the living story team.
They abandoned the dungeons of the game.

To be fair, it was mentioned that we’d see changes or addition to dungeons should they coincide with the LS. So yeah, we can all cheerfully wait for more Aetherpaths!
But I don’t want more guild puzzles in my dungeons.
dungeon roles:
Guardian – reflect, protection, dps
Warrior – banner, dps
Engi – vuln stacking, dps
Thief – shadow refuge, blind spam, dps
Ranger – frost spirit, warhorn, dps
Mesmer – reflects, portal, time warp, dps
Ele – fire field, dps
Necro – vuln stacking, dps
This is correct. Don’t forget to add Weakness applicator to necro though.

There’s nothing that actually warrants a preview. No new features or balance changes. Just more scarlet.
So you’re getting rekt by conditions because you didn’t bring any condition removal?
That sounds like it’s WaI to me. If it bothers you so much you can always use Shadow Return or Shadow’s Embrace.
Coming to a gem store near you!
Only 800 gems! One use! RESERVE YOURS TODAY!
Just like those additional PvP Game Modes we were promised when, September 2012?
How about that “Expansions worth of content”? Let’s not forget those Fractal Leaderboards either.
Working as intended. Proper response for most classes upon encountering a slow/dumb PU mesmer not in traveller runes is to run away at top speed and not get involved.
But changing AI is hard and would require work and wouldn’t turn a profit in the gemstore.
It reeks of a lazy fix riddled with incompetence for a problem that didn’t exist.
I have some bullet points too.
1) Change the game type from “Action MMO” to WoW clone #786876
2) Give us tanks and healers and taunt so everyone can be as braindead as possible at all times.
3) Give bosses unavoidable damage auras so tanks and healers can feel extra good about themselves
4) Increase backstab damage by 300% (Okay, that one was a bit off theme for reductions…)
See I can do it too, easy.
Your expectations are way too high. Nothing at all will change aside from the scenery and some npc dialogue.
A lot of people are going to come in here and give you some truly awful “support” builds.
To save you some time I’ll keep it short.
There is NO SUPPORT class in this game. There is however DPS+Offensive Support (eg a warrior) or DPS+Reflects (eg a Guardian) or DPS+Blinds (eg a guardian/necro/thief) or DPS+Weakness (eg Skale Venom or a necro) all of these are good.
You can of course, mangle a guardian into a staff and clerics and be a dead weight both to yourself and those around you.
Surely now I will see the error of my ways and accept the celestial ele’s and guards and clerics warrior and settler thieves into my groups with open arms.
How truly awful.
Why?
A 10% reduction in the output of Zerker builds will not make people more likely to use support builds (healing power/toughness/vitality are still bad stats that promote bad play).
It’s just going to make already tedious encounter 10% slower.
So its bad to make it so other builds are better?
Doing this won’t make other builds better. People will still run pure zerker and exclude people wearing other kittenty stat spreads. It’s just 10% more boring.
So look at it this way if a mob has a set hp and def etc.. this dose not changes so ppl have a set dps both from crit dmg and condition dmg player also have a set hp / def too. If you find that dps from crit dmg is so much stronger then say condition dmg then all the dps will be from one type. If you drop the crit dmg your in effect making condition dmg stronger.
Are you talking words?
Grinding to grind for grinding.

To be clear, I’m not talking about profit-seeking. (Farming mats and selling them, for example.) That is a normal, healthy activity which adds real value to a game’s economy.
But that is an AWFUL way to make a profit. Have you tried T6 mat farming? It’s literally 8th circle of hell Bolgia 4 punishment. I would not wish it upon anyone. Not even the Chinese.
and also when you say Zerker what class are you talking about because as a main Guardian going Zerker is no way efficient and it’s pretty laughable because of way those traits work.
I’m not sure what you’re tlaking about. Zerker guard is Amazing DPS.
1k gems.

So all the Direct damage sets would take a massive hit and the Condition sets remain largely the same. Condi damage and defense.
No amount of toughness/vitality/healing is going to save me from a necro /engi that just wants to facemash the keyboard and give me all the conditions.
tl;dr No. The condi pvp meta is awful enough already.
Warrior damage is average. People seem to be really behind the times on this. Warriors are brought mostly for their banners which add to the real DPS of a staff ele or Guardian

Orange Coconut Bars

Ascended Crafting
These are all things that allowed players to make thousands of gold with little to no effort. Basically everytime there’s a patch they’ll mess something up and if you smash your head against gold will fall out.
You get to /rank on people you kill in wvw or bads in dungeons. I keep playing so I can drop a dragon on them one day.
- Critical damage changes
How about instead of punishing your players you design better encounters?
It will prolly be like teq. So get your achieves done quick before everyone quits.
But guardian does way more DPS than warrior and has Aegis and blinds.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about, maybe you should take this to the guardian section to get an indepth response on how wrong you are.
Ripoff. Maybe if it was all the metals I’d buy it.
We are trying to take steps to address some of the dominance of Berserker/DPS players. More info next week, I think.

How about you don’t ruin your own game, again.
It’s better than it was (in terms of rewards). But overall balance is still trash. The meta simply shifted.
You might find some pvp guilds the guild recruitment forum.
Me next
Serious Prediction: At least 3 items added to them gem shop and 10-15 achievements to grind.
Silly Prediction: Rox and Brham contract Space Ebola and die leaving Necrogirl and the other one.
Left Of Field: Other girl dies heroicly pushing the do not push button saving us all from a giant molten toxic aether watchwork thumper. A statue is erected in her honor on that spot.
Hopeful prediction: Scarlet’s dead body remains somewhere so we can consume taffy/candycorn and vomit on top of it.
Surely this won’t be the new place to conveniently redirect topics so they never see the light of day.
… onto the compost heap.
Are we going to get SAB returning shortly after?
Because lets be honest. This is the only living world update the majority of people enjoyed.
Actually, we have metrics on every LW release. While SAB was indeed successful in terms of participation, so were the other releases (Scarlet ones included).
Your metrics for successful LW (ie how many people completed it for a reward) Is in no way shape or form related to how much fun or enjoyment was had by said players.
For the record Bazzar was the most fun.

Wow how awful. It’s not even a guaranteed scrap. Just fork over your cash for a chance at a chance.
Surely it won’t be as kitten the second time around.
