you miss out on the event sure, but there’s more and others and to be had, in all honesty its very intuitive and very good in my opinion and what i will say is the gear / achieves give you no advantages except fun and a new skin or two, so not the end of the world by a long shot.
My problem is that you’re pushing the living story so hard despite it’s not very interesting or memorable. Obviously you’re decided now that this is the way you want to go, despite the game still lacking meaningful endgame content you should IMO add before spending your time pushing the living story.
the living story is effectively end game stuff and GW2 has fractals, the’ll be all sorts to come and ‘’end game’’ the whole of guild wars 2 was built around experiencing the whole world, so leveling and adventuring / exploring is your end game, currently.
about it not being very interesting, Colin has just confirmed what everyone had been saying for months ‘’there testing out different event types in the living story for the future, currently were guinea pigs
’’ – which is true, granted in the next installment if its the same stuff then sure, complain away but i don’t think we should be giving anything except constructive critism about where to go, how to do it etc.

You know i am continually surprised with these, the shading as you said is SO much better, i will be investing very soon, just spent a ton on new armor sets, next is my look as i still can’t freaking decide but i know the colours
anyway looks very nice, and bifrost… kitten you!
I would Vote for Far Shiverpeeks as thats where i now reside on a friend’s recommendation and it is a great server, i can also vouch for Gandara, i have never played on it but fighting against them was very fun, unfortunately we have left you guys behind now
my previous server was Desolation, thats a great server too, but the majority of people i met who are nice have either been opponents in WvW on Gandara or everyone in fact on Shiverpeeks.
To be fair, the designers probably didn’t know what they were getting into when they decided to do “active combat.”
They clearly didnt. Despite the fact that they added jumping and dodging and swimming, this game is still based too much around skills to be considered “action” combat.
Now all we have is a poor excuse for either.
In your opinion. I actually quite like the combat.
Some people prefer shallow easy combat. That, however, is not something for a developer to be proud of.
The fact that’s it’s shallow is ALSO your opinion. I don’t particularly find the combat shallow. And I think Anet has made a game to be proud of. Of course that’s also just an opinion.
Nope, wrong again. By definition the combat is shallow. Maybe you should read up on that.
i think it is shallow if you don’t make use of combo fields and all the other abilities extra effects, our definition of shallow is very different, and thats what it comes down to, not facts, opinions.
There are a few fields that do interesting things when comboed, the rest simply do the same old boons and conditions in larger amounts.
Combos rarely add depth to the game as they are very seldom more beneficial than just auto attacking. As a side effect they are certainly cool, but purposely setting up a combo for its effects is very useless 9/10 times compared to just auto attacking.
are we talking PvE here because i sure as hell view them as beneficial, i can have 80-90% chaos armor uptime, projectiles for extra damage, confusion stacking (more pvp as not very good in pve), retaliation on distortion for big attacks…..
i’m sorry but i don’t think there seldom beneficial at all i think they are extremely beneficial, granted i do more pvp and wvw than anything but ask anyone in this setting worth there salt and they will say your not playing optimally and not nearly as effectively as you can be and should be.
all this talk about Facts and opinions is making me chuckle, you say some things are facts some of you yet there is no data to back up your facts, really its just your opinion but as you stated it was a fact and when asked to provide the proper information as to how and why it is a fact, all you have is an opinion, so not fact at all, really, just like my paragraphs above, there opinions, not facts as to why there not seldom beneficial.
however i could argue the point that it is fact because it happens in the game and is hard coded to it, theres a loose reason and data as to why there beneficial and the truth is they give extra damage etc, so you aren’t playing optimally….
see what i mean?
Give me specific examples, in PvE (which is what we are talking about), about what you think is better than direct damage, and I will do the math to prove you wrong.
Math is good for stuff like that.
Well personally I can’t as I said in my first post and since I am on about PVp and wvw as that’s what I do, now you may be talking about Pve but you can’t rule out PVp and wvw combat it’s very much the same systems in general and an integral part of the game, so I can’t and won’t give an example in Pve as It would be false or based out off my kitten
