I am so kitten about this change that I want to cry…
OP, you nearly made me tear up there, what you wrote is so accurate to everything that is wrong in this game it’s just a pleasure to read. After 100% of my guild left the game I stood up alone to defend this game, now 5 months later I feel like a lone soldier who has nothing to defend anymore… I am still connecting to this game maybe once every 2-3 weeks but it has nothing to offer me to keep me on so I transfered to D3 instead. I don’t care about fancy wardrobe patches and it’s even worse now having level 1’s running around with legendary weapons.
I think the nail in the coffin for me was one thing I read lattely that anet posted I don’t remember where saying that they liked LS season 1 so much they are really excited for the next season which doesn’t imply any sort of expansion…..
Don’t get me wrong this game is not runing my life but at the point where I am now, I am working crazy hours and I work when poeple sleep and sleep when poeple work so yes this game is the only hobby I have access to at this moment since I can’t see friends and not even my girlfriend most of the time. This the reason I log to be able to at least have a little fun out of this kittenty period I’m in for the next couple of years… For the little time I have to “amuse” myself with something I want to at least have something new after 2 years. It’s not for the lack of stuff I have been trying to do to change the monotony I am feeling over this game. I have 6 different classes, did map completion for 3 of my characters played pvp for a while and even run in wvw some times, so it’s not for the lack of trying to find something to do.
Thanks for all the suggestions, in any case you all missed the point, calling me a kid when I’m probably double your age and telling me to go play another game is just plain on the other side of the track. I bought GW2 because I love it, have been playing GW since the launch of the first one and I don’t play any other game hence why I want GW2 to keep me on. I don’t WANT to stop playing, I want to encourage this game and love it everyday I log on to it but for the moment, there is nothing to keep me and that’s my problem.
Keep those comments going, like I told you I was aware that more than half the post would be people telling me to stop crying over it so I don’t really care.
I agree that a woman wearing a half naked heavy armor has absolutely no problem stopping a sword blow with her cleavage…
I don’t care if half the posters under me start throwing rocks at me but I am sorry to say I am giving Anet one last chance after the big fancy patch with lots of glitter to announce a big news with lots of new content because I am sick and tired of to log each day to do the same crap over and over and over…
EVERYBODY I know left this game and I don’t have enough arguments left to make people come back to play. I don’t know if Anet realizes that if this goes on with new skins and crap half the player base don’t care about this game will die soon enough. Don’t get me wrong I love guild wars and have been here from the start but there has been absolutely nothing to keep players here for the past 2 years other than farming and zerging. Wow is getting a new big expansion, ESO is coming out soon and in a near future Everquest will be out and if Anet doesn’t figure out that content is what keeps people from going away well I’m sad to say it’s not living story that will make your player base grow….
I know everybody is saying that we must be patient and all but wake up we are in 2014, games come out half a dozen each week, we have given enough patience into this game to at least get something in return for it, not patching and adding stuff that has been mentioned from the start, I know it takes time to make a game and what ever argument people come up with but in this era of gaming with all the choices a person gets it’s more about who gives the client the more stuff to make sure he doesn’t go elsewhere.
I am also not saying that Anet doesn’t care about this kind of thread but any kind of little info even if it’s insignificant just to let us know something big other then patches is coming in a near future would shut me up and make me log with a smile every day….
Thanks for reading and if you want to start kicking me for what i just said well please do.

Maybe if they removed WP cost this would equal out but for now it juste sucks…
I’m always tempted to share my secrets on how to make 12 g/h or 400-600 g per week, but I feel like some people are not worthy of having that kind of information.
If it does not involve TP flipping (I already do that) then I would like to submit my application to learn what your method is. Also, your figures are based on how much time played per day?
Either TP or selling Arah if i can bet.
Not TP selling, nor Arah selling (I hate dungeons).
I’m purely a mob/event farmer. Legit stuff, non exploits, non-champ trains
At least 45 hours a week playing GW2 nets me 400g, which is on the conservative side on a bad week. I get about +500g.
Unfortunately, if everyone did what I did (and I know of 3-4 regulars that do this), our income would be cut in half. So our secret shall remain a secret, for now.
Your post sounds more like trolling than anything else. Why do you post that you can make lots of gold and what not only to tell people after that you won’t say how… In any case, making money in this game is not hard, do a couple of dungeons farm a couple of champs and that’s all you need.
Upgrade on turrets….. That’s like putting peanut butter on a toast full of kitten….
Will this make condition builds any more usefull… no so this nerf is still crap….
Went for this and never looked back.
I must admit of being the one to pull stuff in dungeons and nearly always be the first one to hit but after a couple of seconds even if I run 40 feet back from everybody I never lose aggro… I can stay alive in most cases but it implies using the elexir gun and healing turrent meaning I do no dps… The fact that I usually do stuff with Axe warriors that can do more damage in auto attack than I will ever be doing and I’m still the one getting kitten d baffles me.
Tried with and without same problem.
It’s not my first thread about this but this time I did some tests and the results are bad…
I don’t know if I am the only one having this issue but, every single dungeon I do I get focused even if I stay 40 meters away of the whole group bashing bosses. The most conclusive test was is SE P1, the last boss was near the stairs where you pull the asura and I was about where the chest drops after the 3 golem champs and that boss came after me… Other test, when I get a group and we stack, there are 5 people one in the other and I am the only one receiving hits till I go down unless it’s aoe… I have no added toughness and I am running with my friend who plays a guard with 1800 toughness and I am still the one that everything runs after. Is my character bugged, is the engi always focused for everybody, are silvari which I am a race that gets focused???
I am at a point where I can’t stand this issue any more, I tought it was my build or gameplay but I have tried EVERYTHING, every build I found with every gear and everything still jumps on me….
Other example, the last boss in SE P3 where you pull and stack on a wall, at some point the boss hits someone in a stack with a powerfull punch, I am the only one on every single occasion that eats it and goes down…
In any case, feedback on this issue would be appreciated because I put a lot of time on my engi and now I just stashed him in the toy box and I don’t appreciate it…
The thing you really have to look at is that as much as the LS was cool, it doesn’t add any value to the great game which is GW2… In the end after you are done grinding the LS you still end up doing stuff in the other part of the game where nothing has changed since the beginning. I am at the point where I did fractals and dungeons so many times I could close my eyes and run them… I don’t care if I don’t get 360 new zones to satisfy my hunger but the fact remains that since LS started, the main crust of this game is still old and boring at the moment and you have no choice to eat it because otherwise you would log in to afk…
after 2 days spent on it I’m already done with it.
Better question is, how many hrs did you spend getting all the achievements? Anything over 10 hrs would be a lot of content for the average player to consume in 2 weeks.
No, the real question is how much time do I really want to put into this. After logon, it took me 35 minutes to kill Scarlet. Do I need to farm her 640 times to feel that I am getting something out of the LS, I killed her once and I’m done with the LS already I don’t care for farming or achievements.
I loved this new LS but, after 2 days spent on it I’m already done with it. What now, as usual back to the same old content, same old dungeons I do day in and day out. I am not criticizing Anet on the work they have done this far but I just want to remind them that 2014 is the year of exciting new mmos that will hit the market, the march break should be to think about doing something new and fast. This game is in a big lack of new permanent content and the player base will melt when the new big mmos start hitting the market at the end of march and beyond.
Don’t get me wrong I love GW but I to am really bored and I think bored is still not the right word used about doing the same stuff every day. Half my guild refuses to even log into the game anymore till anything new is added and this will be more and more the case for everybody.
Like I said, the LS was great 2/3 days in each of the patches and quickly dies after that, as great as the Scarlet story is it’s like a fart in a windstorm if nothing changes after the march 18th patch.
My 2 cents…
Magitech + abyss and wrath = awesome
I feel sorry for OP, this thread shows me why I don’t post here much anymore, each time you bring something to this forum the troll zerg comes and talks out of their kitten. Great vid btw, we don’t all play the same and don’t take crap from all these people who haven’t figured out yet how to take their thumbs out of their kitten,
Not true, no one gave me crap about my video when I posted it. This just isn’t very good gameplay i’m sorry to say.
Thank god forum hero here wants to prove he has a bigger kitten than his neighbor. Who cares, it’s a game let people play bad if it doesn’t fit your book.

DO NOT WORRY GUYS !!!!!
After zergfest season 1 ends we have a little break before zergfest season 2 starts again !!!!!
Nice guys very nice, very quick to call a guy lazy or what ever. I am exactly like the OP, I hate crafting, I don’t want to be part of it and no I am not lazy. That aside I still went and got my leatherworking to 400 without a problem and for not more than 1 gold with all the mats I had saved up. From 400 to 500 is another story and is enough to discourage a lot of poeple so please take your thumb out of that dark place you sit on and have some respect for people that don’t follow the same path as the rest of you.
The point of this tread was not to point out player skills, what I was saying is that you can’t always be 100% and when that happens and by a bad luck you fall into a red circle or you forget to dodge or what ever and you get a hit, you really feel that hit with an engineer.
Offhand axe #5 skill is awesome if paired with the Berserker’s Power trait. Nothing comes close to it for refilling your adren faster than you can blink to get back to that 15% damage boost.
However, you lose DPS in recovering adrenaline, don’;t you? I personally very very rarely use the special attack for Axe (nor GS for that matter). It seems a loss for DPS for not much gain. IMHO>
Not really because with #5 it takes a fraction of a second to fill up and once it’s up stop spinning and start auto attacking back with the +15%.

I have a lot of experience with my engi, I know him inside out but dungeons where you have to stack it’s weird but mobs always seem to hit me in all the stack. I doubt the +100 in toughness I have is the problem.
I have about 1200 toughness which is not to much and my necro can tank all day, not even comparable to the engi.
By the way, bombs are on auto attack, nades aren’t so complaint valid.
Is it me or is this class worse than the thief when you get hit, when I run dungeons I spend more time on my kitten trying to keep myself alive than anything else. I always have the feeling that the mobs in dungeons hate the engineer class because everything is always running after me. Is there a hidden aggro mechanism on the engi that I am not aware of ???
Before everybody tells me that i should change my armor, no I am not full zerker and yes I have toughness. This class is becoming a part time job if I go for grenades and I will soon have carpal tunnel syndrome if I continue so I tend to go more with bombs.
I am kind of tired of always finishing stuff with 50 hp left, if I am doing something wrong please advise me because I am about to put my engi in the closet and forget about him.
Those are guardian builds….. ???
Wow this actually went from a necro doing marionette post to a post about the marionette…
I think people take this even to seriously, I was like everybody else in the beginning raging like a little kid but in the end the fun factor makes up for the rest. Yes I used the word fun but don’t take it to an extent out of it’s actual meaning.
(edited by Daxxter.8920)
It’s simple, people learn. It started with wanting to cry because the even failed and failed and on and on to being proud that people learn to play, dodge and use the game mechanics to beat the marionette many times in a row.
I really loved what anet did with this and split up the boring zerkfest that LS used to be into an actual event that requires a minimum of intelligence. Change is not perfect but it’s good.
Keep up the good work anet and you actually made something interesting enough to make me come back from a 7 months break. Now if we could only get an expansion :p.
Balekai got exactly what I was saying in my OP, let me say one thing to all those saying a condition spec is probably why the team died in the first place. I was probably the one doing the most dps on that platform even if I was using conditions, necro is not a bad class if you know how to use it.
Let me elaborate a bit, the way I built my necro is going for max condition stack and then I traited him to have nearly 100% uptime on DS so as soon as you are done applying condtions you go in DS for damage then back to stacking conditions then back to DS. I also put a pretty expensive glyph of torment which gives me nearly 100% torment uptime and goes nice with people running in circle and the champs following them.
This is in no way a Necromancer is the best class in the world thread but more of a fun fact. While doing the platforms in the marionette event I realized that while everyone on my platform got stomped to death, my conditions where still going and it actually not only once saved everyone from dying by just eating the champion while everybody was on the ground.
Ok guys it’s time to dust of the sand in your kittens, my post is a metaphorical way of saying that all LS is, is people running in circle hitting the 1 key. I’m glad for you guys if you think there is any kind of tactics involved but the 2 times I did the event thats not the picture I got out of it.
And by the way I never said I won the even because what I stated is exactly what 90% of the players where doing…
Please oh please saying it on my knees, stop making 1 button masher zergfest LS. It’s not my idea of fun pressing 1 on my keyboard 400 times till the event ends… No tactics, just braindead keyboard pressing….
I remember the good old days on GW1 where each time you taught you had done it all a new expansion came out, new classes new content new instances. GW2 now has nothing, it’s a good game up to the point when it ends. I have done the same content over and over so many times that I can do most dungeons with my eyes closed. They are doing a good job with the content they are producing but it’s not enough, even if it is new it feels the same and boring with no reward that is worth my time. I don’t want to bash this game because I have a special place n my heart for the GW franchise but till no new expansion comes out, I won’t be wasting my time.
This game is dead, nothing new since last time I logged in. The ride was fun at the beginning but now I think I prefer poking my eyeballs with a rusty fork rather than farming another cosmetic.
A way to switch builds without having to retrait each time. Make it so we can switch between 2-3 builds and pay the retrait fee you usually pay, I am tired of making everybody wait in dungeons because I have the same role as somebody else and I have to leave, port to a town to respec my character. Unless there is a way that I am not aware of this will be a big help to the playerbase.
I need a build to open world solo Warrior
something with decent DPS while having some survivalabilty to tank more than 1 monsterThanks in advance !
This has been my everything pve build, it’s adaptable lots of crit%+damage% you can change your stance for a banner if needed and your elite as well. No problem with surviving anything (sure you have to know to dodge when needed). Oh yeah and I don’t like rooting myself into place with GS #2 skill so with double axes you have a lot of mobility. Those armor runes are not cheap, thats the only drawback.

Doesnt change that zerker is better on all classes and they are atleast trying to play in a way that should make them improve.
Lol, wait, wat?
Whats hard to understand? Going zerker and meleeing is the best way to learn to be a better player.
I am about to smash my head on my desk so hard I hope I can forget what I just read…
In any case, the problem I had when making this post is repeating it self in here, rant all you want about a warrior wich can hit 50k or even 1 million, half the time I have to stop what I am doing just to rez a zerker who go 1 hit ko. I have a pretty big doubt being on your kitten throwing rocks at mobs is decent dps, at least while I am helping the party my damage is still going.
Thats not a zerker issue thats a bad player issue. Funnily enough a zerker warrior throwing rocks does more damage than a pvt player.
Exactly, so if warrior is the most played class and probably 3/4 of them play zerker builds, I would say that makes a bucketload of bad players who have the nerves of saying that nothing beats them.

I was doing P2 of CoF melting everything with conditions and epidemic while the zerker warrior was spending half the time on his kitten and he got the nerves to say conditions are weak and that I was doing nothing… This zerker dps ego trip is making me become very irritated and I am kind of becoming impolite with those kind of people. Is this really what mmos have turned into, “Look at me I am swinging my sword like a kitten and making big numbers appear”…
Next time I’ll just wait for a zerker to fall down and watch him die while doing nothing.
The one important thing lacking in this game which makes people want only one build is a way to change your stats without the need to always respec your character. They should implement build switch for a fee each time you switch and it will solve a lot of problems.
Can we please stay on the kittening subject, why does every freakin thread on this forum has to turn onto my kitten is bigger than yours. Every kittening time I click on a thread I tell my self this seems like a helpfull one I can read and about 3 posts later it goes full kitten. God kittening dammit, is it so hard to stay on the freaking subject and leave your zerker egos out if every single kittening thing I click on.
That must be the best description for a dungeon I have ever read. You nearly broke the kitten filter on that one!
Just want to add my 2 cents on the conditions for the invasions, don’t know about you but I have been doing them with 4 classes by pressing only auto attack, just get a staff and hit 1 and you will do just fine.
I think it’s more of a l2p issue, you don’t have a perfect class in GW, my necro can’t burst like a warrior but I can keep the dps up even if I get knocked down or miss 100b. My necro can rez 3 people if kitten goes bad and mass heal/blind with wells. Necros aren’t guardians or warriors, each class can do something different than the other, it’s up to the player to figure out what strengths you bring to a party. I’m just going to finish by saying that any full zerk that tells you that you don’t add any value to the team and spends half the dungeon on his kitten then gets saved by a necro with a mass rez should go play something else.
