Do you really have a choice?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Geemo.6018

When choosing a profession to play your only choice is a dps’er. Sure there are some professions that have gimmick heals and some that have gimmick tanking abilities, but at the end of the day you are a dps’er. Although the Holy Trinity is gone, I find it amusing that players still try to play the game with a Holy Trinity style…

Every profession is so normalized that it does not matter what profession you choose because you will still have the same old boring trait line in which to put points. And to make matters worse, you have to put 30 points in toughness if you want to survive and compete with other players…

Even crafting has been normalized to the point where there is nothing special about any of the crafting skills. And, since you can learn all crafting skills on one character it makes crafting even less meaningful than other mmos where crafting is a major part of your character’s progression. Again, choice is nothing, but a mere illusion…

Anet is trying to force people to buy gems. I fully understand that. Hey Anet, how about you come with some good cash shop items (current cash shop items are beyond lame) that will make players want to purchase gems instead of lame tactics like DR?

A lot of players love to heal. A lot of players love to tank. And I don’t mean the gimmick healing and tanking that Gw2 has either. Removing the Holy Trinity was one of the worst things an mmo could do. Some things are not meant to be changed. Enjoy your zerg fest Gw2 fan boys….

One of the major problems is that everything is so normalized, which is great for balance, but makes for boring distinctions between professions. Another major problem is that your character gets every major ability that they are ever going to have by the time they are level 10. Which means, during the 70 more levels you will become bored of your abilities fairly quickly…

I agree 100%. Gw2 is failing to create a sense of accomplishment for players. Players love to showcase their toons and showcase their skills. Another major aspect Gw2 is lacking is rivalry between players…

Yes I agree that adding weapon bonuses really limits the purpose of weapon swaping. It’s impossible to buff both weapons sets and you really feel nerfed while using the unbuffed weapon set.

After studying the trait lines I have come to the final conclusion. Trait lines need to be broke down into a set of ten instead of five. Having a five set trait line really forces players to take stats they really don’t want. I like power, precision, critical damage, toughness, vitality, and healing. I could care less about condition damage, condition duration, or boons. But, I am forced to have stats that I have no desire for.

The current system has five trait lines that consist of two stats each to choose from with a maximum placement of 30 points and 6 bonuses. A better system would be 10 trait lines that consist of one stat each to choose from with a maximum of placement of 15 points and 3 bonuses. The new system would give a player more control over their play style and should have little to no effect on the current balance of the game.

Some trait lines make perfect sense, while, others make no sense at all. Some trait lines appear to give you a choice, but you really don’t have a choice at all. Every profession needs toughness. You need toughness no matter if you WvW, Spvp, or just do pve. I’m currently leveling a thief, which I’m about to delete due to trait lines that give no benefit and force me to play a style that I do not want to play.

Shadow Arts: +Toughness + Healing – I have to put points into this trait if I want to survive. The problem is the bonuses are based on stealth and melee. I dual wield pistols and weapon swap shortbow. I am at a disadvantage because I have to put 30 points in this trait for survival, but I am short 6 bonuses due to the fact they support melee and stealth and have nothing to due with my weapons of choice…Catch 22

Anet does not have a sub fee to support future content. Instead, they use a cash shop to support any future content. Does Anet use tactics to get players to buy gems? Of course they do. Is there anything wrong with this? Of course there isn’t. Anet is in business to make money. I have over 10g and have over 1100 gems (haven’t made it past lvl 35) and I have not spent one penny, nor will I ever.

1. WvW should consist of a battle between 2 servers.
2. Make map smaller to limit the amount of running currently being done.
3. Institute server rankings.
4. Top 2 servers face off in 48 hour battle.
5. Top server will receive special bonuses.

Major Flaws:
1. Holy Trinity removal has created mindless zergs

It’s only mindless if you don’t know how to play. Learn.

2. Professions are too normalized causing them to not have enough distinction. This is mainly due to traits being carbon copies from one profession to the next.

Having played a thief to 80 and a ranger to 40 I can happily state that between these two potentially similar classes there is little to no bleed-through of mechanics.

3. You get all of the main attack abilities that your character will ever have by the time your level 5 causing you to become very bored of them real quick on your way to 80..

I find new and interesting ways to link my skills together even now. If you dislike using the same moves repeatedly… I hope you intend to disregard almost every other game with combat ever… Except maybe bayonetta.

I can see you’re a Gw2 fanboy so you will defend this game blindly. I’m not the only one who says the game play is a zerg fest. There are literally thousands of post mentioning the exact same thing. Traits are the same for all professions period. The professions are very normalized, which, brings great balance in pvp, but also, brings the feeling of deja vu for all professions…

There is no need for a 64bit client. Even if ANet were to implement one, performance gains would be negligible at best.

More Ram = Higher performance period. 32 bit client only allows the use of 2gb ram. Where as the 64 bit client will allow me to use the 64gb of ram that I have…

Yes I can and will go back to wow. Gw2 has some nice aspects, but it’s lacking in some serious areas. WvW, Spvp, and Dungeon are huge zerg fest due to the removal of the Holy Trinity. I enjoy tanking and healing and I don’t mean gimmick tanking and healing. Gw2’s graphics are top notch, but there is a lot more to being a good game besides having nice graphics.

Holy Trinity Removal

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Geemo.6018

Geemo.6018

Let me start this off by explaining what has happened by removing the Holy Trinity. For those of you that have played World of Warcraft you will know what I’m talking about. In World of Warcraft there is a battle ground called Alterac Valley. Among destroying enemy bunkers/towers the main objective is to kill the other team’s boss.

Healers and tanks are needed when attempting to kill the boss. But, what do players do if their team doesn’t have any healers and tanks? They take the nearest grave yard and they will zerg the boss until he is dead. Now that we have a basic understanding let’s discuss what removing the Holy Trinity has really done.

Gw2 doesn’t have healers so structured pvp and World vs World consist of zerg after zerg. Dungeons in Gw2 are nothing but zerg fest as well. When players die during boss attempts all they have to do is release and run back in and continue to zerg the boss until the boss is dead.

Overall, the removal of the Holy Trinity sounded like a very good idea. But, the only thing it did was create voids that are filled with zergs. Futhermore, there are literally hundreds of thousands of players who only like to tank or heal. Removing the Holy Trinity has effectively cut hundreds of thousands of players out of the game…

PvP is lacking

Spvp: Being instantly boosted to 80 and being able to pvp is awesome. But, not recieving any real reward for doing so is not. I’m a pvp buff and never have really cared too much about pve. Being able to recieve xp for doing standard pvp would have been very nice.

World vs World: There are several things wrong with this. There are way too many distractions. Players are gathering, using the trading post, and there are even crafting stations available. Seriously, crafting stations? The maps are way too huge. I spend most of my time traveling across the map.

Overall standard pvp and world vs world are just zerg fest. Zerg, zerg, and more zerging…
