i have bad experiences with korean mmo before..
now that i know gw2 is handled by koreans..
i hope it won’t go the road other korean mmo has gone..
“pay to win”.. getting every new content in to the cash shop and rng gambling..
balance are an illusion .
guy A figured how to beat mesmer an has beaten it in daily basis, thus he thinks it is balanced. while guy B got steam rolled by mesmer and think it is imbalanced.
its all about perspective .
the skill lv of the person playing the said class could also make a difference on how its adversaries think of it.
while i think there is an advantage and disadvantage in each class mechanics..
i think most of people’s opinion are either exaggerated or biased .
lower drop rate = higher item price
mass gold produce (cof1) = lower gold value
people trade in gold for gem = bump in the gem price
high gem price = more people buy it with cash
mmo = cash cows.
they don’t make an mmo for a charity project. . .
now you forgot the kick in this
more people buy gems with cash and trade gems for gold = gem price drops.
well yea.. but i doubt it can keep up with the mass amount of gold floating in..
wouldn’t be surprise to see 1:10 ratio. in the future.

nerfing bleed dmg by 50%.. nice.! don’t forget how poison and burning does too much dmg also!!
apparently, critical damage does much more than condition damage !!
this is blasphemy!! lets nerf it too!!! -50% crit dmg ftw!!
no. stealth already have a counter! its called, experience!!
stealth is a class mechanic that make some class special!!
and.. they already been hit numerous times by nerf!
infact, most off the class now doesn’t even have 50% of their power from beta!
and once a “counter”, or an across the board nerf is introduced.. people will quit!!
and seeing the nature of people, there will never be an end to QQ and some other class will get the spotlight, next time!
and the nerf cycle of hell begins!! until all classes is broken into pieces..
do know, that the ones responsible for it are NOT the devs.. its you people asking for nerfs over and over again!!
make job advancement @ lv 80 char. get that char back to lv 1 with new sets of weapon skill and traits that can be toggled. or.. make cross class possible. and make it so we have to re-lvled the 2nd class to take some of its skill to the main.
cause i think, rising the lvl cap would be stupid. and render all current cosmetics useless.
people will be forced to wear new lvl 100 dungeon gear for exotics sets, and everyone will look exactly the same! seeing that transmutation stone prices are that much more expensive, because of inflation!!
clonewars are something that i don’t want to happen to guildwars2!
i do think the threat is that they fixated too much about class balance.
every patch its about balance balance balance and bugfix.!!
they should’ve finished those headstart!! not still doin it 8 months into its lifespan!!
and… no one likes their toys taken from them repeatedly. (class capabilities)
some wouldn’t stand it and leave…
and the content we get so far.. its all gimmic!! they put every ounce of manpower to fix the smallest issue in balance and fix things people whine about!
games need progress to keep costumer preoccupied.! many . new area. new skill, new monster. new skins. class advancement. new toys.. (temporary holiday stuff is not good enough)
instead.. they keep taking them away.. and have little to no progress for the core of the game! and when many new games are coming out, i doubt gw2 will have the power to hold on to its costumer.. and stand its ground.!
sorry for the QQ!! i love this game, but lately, its kinda stale..
yes. I like being lazy.!
i have only a few moments to play each day.. and i don’t feel like grinding!
I want my character to not look so plain and boring.. i want more choices
i don’t mind the grind,.. but doing something repetitive for over and over and over and over again, is kinda mind numbing,,.. (i would love more variety)
i used my few free time to play a game. to have fun. and i want to feel good about my character.. not chasing a carrot on a stick.!
but.. without much gold i doubt i could wear skins other than dungeon gear or crafted gear for exotics of a certain stats.. so.. even if the grind is optional,.. the thought of wearing cof gear for.. forever.. made me do repetitive grind anyways.. ==a
i don’t like boonhate. its just another empowered that depends on the enemy, and cant be control.. i wish it was a protection giving trait instead,.. while it maybe good against bunker, but it can be useless against some thief or mesmer..
i don’t think its worth the 30 point to get this trait..
i doubt guardians can be slaughtered easily..
they can just use 2 dodge + vigor / endurance sigil as the third to nullify might signets,
and protection pretty much nullifies boonhate trait.
warr must go 30 disc to get boonhate trait,.. soo the dmg lost =/= dmg gain from the trait.. where if they go glass, that 30 points could be equal to 300power/300persicion. even then, guardian could nullify glass warrs dmg just fine!
overpowered hundred blades? lol!! you must be soo jealous of cof speed runners!
i dont mind if they erase boonhate,..
the trait wont be as good as it is hyped anyway..
instead, give something like,..
50% chance to gain 5 sec protection each time i hit targets with equal or more than 2 boons..
asura is by far the most superior race for a mesmer.
the only downside is,.. you wont be able to show off big shiny weapons.
and some may don’t like its armor.. looks wise.. since they will be small!
if you choose the smallest asurian.
with a small enough plain offhand, it will be hard for the enemy to notice its there,
so.. more deception to think you’re your clone.
mesmer lacks aoe, and the asurian race skill pretty much cover all your needs for event farming aoe.!
compare to a maximum size norn, you get much2 better visibility!
sometimes, your view on a small enough boss mob attack animation can be blocked by your big body.. soo.. its not good…
the hit box and the range of a norn and an asura is actually the same.! so.. you dont have to worry how far your illusion hits even with its small model!
soo i think, for usefulness, asura tops!
meta and skill build balance shifted alot…
for pve…. i say, nothing much other than more objectives given.
like dailies, monthlies, rewards, guild events..
for the content itself, not much change..
carrot on a stick..
simplicity at its best. even with its shortcoming, the warrior class is a fun class to play.
no one will argue that you’ve won on a warrior because of your skill rather than your OP class mechanics . anyone beaten by your warrior will respect you.!
soo i think its worth it
i imagine they will buff passive stats. like signet buffs, or trait’s numbers buffs.
changing a skill is impossible.. they will tweak to make it as little as possible so it will not derailed from its description..
as in, weak to conditions and push through with force with a sturdy body kinda thing..
i bet it wont make much of a difference other than buffing the pve side..
maybe a minor condition removal on traits..
i dunno..
some people posting the same experience as Op means that it really is possible to get almost nothing from farming the open world.
and anet wonder why their open world is so empty…
its just isn’t worth it.!! that’s why!!
when the endgame revolves around massive grinding to get shinnies.. people will go to the most effective way to farm it. and going to the vast open world other than the usual event trains spot is just a waste of time, when the amount of material and gold they have to make to forge an items are frikkin huge!!
and then.. there’s the dreaded DR…
sad.. but without incentives and rewards, open world will always be empty..
i think locking the weapon skill is the thing that limiting this game to many endless possibility. people will get excited over obtaining new skills, and be somewhat content to play to get that skill… i doubt a job advancement or cross job will ever be allowed.. but they have to add more skill for us to use for the long run.. so people wont leave because of boredom over repeating same cycle of skills .
It will be funny if sometime later in the year anet adds new crafting mats(for ascended stuff maybe?) and the “orichalcum grade” picks are not enough to mine it.
doesn’t all this just explains that mining isn’t worth the chore?
if skin are everything that a pve endgame is about. than this picks count as one of those skin aswell..
would be funny though if they release a legendary node gathering tools.
- a vehicle like, costumable/upgradable motorbikes, cars, or an airship that can be ridden across tyria with up to 100%+ movement speed.
- reduce waypoints number
- 1000 new weapon skin
- 5000 new armor skin
- new area that includes many big architecture, instead of open plain with trees.
- many new monsters with unique ability
- new dungeons
- new legendaries
- remove the one on one story cutsceen and add real CG for cutscene
- space expansion
- item macro button slot
- costumisable weapon slot with many new weapon skill for each weapon
- dueling in towns and open world
- player kill to a minimum extent
sigh. i hope these cry of nerf for cof would die down for a moment..
been weeks and all im seeing in general forum are CoF cries..
be careful for what you wish for….
the impact could bring more harm then good..
digging for loots in the nerfed open worlds with event train could be a more facepalm way of farming than a cof repeated farms!
well….
not everyone is an economic masters that could inflate trading post on a whim..
10 min with 1 Mesmer & 4 zerk Warriors while doing ok with the flame balls room ?
Clearly something wrong with those warriors …
its how they trick people! these warriors have 2 sets of COF armor piecess. notice i said cof because they’re easily farmable. 1 goes full ruby, the others goes full “magic find”. they ping their rubies and proceed with cof skinned pirates. as soon as you feel something is wrong with the dps of the party, i advice to abandon it right away, cause the chances are, most of em are leechers.
in my opinion, its all about attitude. some people use threats, mock, and order people around like everyone is their lacky or something. a bareable speed is ok, but against suck up attitude? id rather be in a sub-par parties than put up hours with these kinds of people!
from what i gather at these forums,..
other class views warrior as “easiest to defeat”, “a noob that’s beating warrior at wvw shouldn’t get to full of themself”, “afraid we will be nerfed so we will got no other option like the warrior”, “easiest class to play” , “never been defeated by a warrior in wvw”, “boring profession that press 2222 all day” etc2..
I myself views warrior as a farmers (cof p1) and chearleaders (offensive boon support).
well… we have 2 evolved form of warrior ready btw..
1. guardians. by trading large health and offense we get, toons of boons, dmg mitigation, heals.
2. thief. by trading health and armor we get, mobility , stealth, shadow steps.
soo.. rolling another class that’s on the other side of the plains are a kinda legid thing to do..
sorry if i said anything wrong .. =)
I just play with it on. It prevents you from making a few skill shots, but we have very few “lob-ey” shots, and the ones that are like that force you to have terrible camera angles.
thnx for the reply.
kinda make me think that mesmer is meant to be played by turning it on..
how do i play successfully with the auto targeting off..?
the target i select always to be overlapped by clones or other people, so its hard to target..
and when every summoning requires me to target, its hard to play without it.
but the autotargeting often target some unimportant target, and its kinda bugging me..
i will be thankfull if mesmers in this forum could tell me how its played or give tips about it. =)
OP likes to sell his skins for a much higher price..
as in now, everyone can get the skins they want by themself without any gating..
so it only make sense to make gates for those skin prices to go up..
otherwise it will only plunge further..
