Guild Wars 2

Ugh, this whole culture of using AP as a measure of one’s ability at the game is beyond dumb, and anybody who genuinely thinks that it means anything in the slightest needs to pull their head out their kitten .

I’m a player with 3.5k AP, and although i run almost every dungeon each day, and do high level fractals regularly, i’m deemed unskilled because of my comparably low AP to those who have been playing the game longer than i have. The fact that i know them all like the back of my hand means nothing if people insist on being clueless elitist kittens when they use the LFG. Not to mention that the amount of AP you get from dungeons is so tiny that it’s a completely irrelevant piece of information to use to arrive at such a conclusion as whether or not a player is good at dungeons anyway.

I genuinely believe that this sort of elitist attitude is one of the main reasons why a lot of people don’t feel comfortable entering dungeons, since it gives off a really toxic impression the dungeon running community before they even enter a path for the first time. It just makes me really frustrated, and it locks a lot of willing, and skilled players out of running dungeons.

I do find the idea a couple of people were discussing on the first page about it being unreasonable to assume a high AP player knows a dungeon well before you start a little funny, though. It’s perfectly logical to assume that a high AP player will know the dungeon simply because they’ve played for a long time, it’s human nature to look at something high ranked, or someone with a lot of time on something and think they know what they’re doing, just as much as it’s logical to see someone with 400AP and assume they’re a first timer. There’s nothing insulting about either of those assumptions, it should be up to the high AP player to let people know they’re inexperienced if they think it’s an issue. I do want to stress that i’m not having a go at any high AP player who is inexperienced, just that of all the sound complaints in this thread, this is the only one that doesn’t really hold any water.

Hopefully I can get in too. I play a huge amount of alpha/beta’s, and am currently a games production student, so I like to think I could be somewhat useful to the process! The chances are slim though if the pool is as small as I fear it will be.

This being an outfit completely ruins it, the only part i want is the amazing chest piece, screw that ridiculous mask.

Congrats!

I’ve played for 800hrs and last week I somehow got 4 precursors in the space of 4 days. Yeah, everybody in my guild hates me now

Praise RNG!

Having played in the Korean OBT for Black Desert, and as someone who was incredsibly hyped for it, it did not live up to expectations at all. It’s visually stunning, like unbelievably so, but there are so many flaws that stop it from being the great game that i hoped it would be. Hopefully PA listen to the Western playerbase like they say they will for the upcoming release for the West, otherwise i can’t see it lasting too long once the “ooooh shiny!” effect wears off. It’s such a pity, because it gets so much right, but the crippling flaws just ruin the whole thing for me.

And on GW2 LS: They’re kittene. I don’t care about the boring story, Trehearne is one of the single worst characters i’ve seen in any medium ever, the achievements are annoying and i’m tired of watching NPC’s have boring chats about being amazing, then failing hard and i have to finally save the day. They’re just terribly written.

Raids should have been here at launch, so i’d definitely support them. There isn’t a downside to them, people who want them will love them, and those who don’t can still spend their time doing whatever they enjoy doing, there are only gains to be had if you ask me. But 10man is too small, that’s not really full raid numbers, you can easily times that by 2-4 and we’d be golden.

Sadly the community is extremely casual in GW2, so i doubt we’ll ever see them.

Aye this Dragon Ball game is awful, and the achievements are even more poorly designed than the game. I don’t care if the content is free, it’s still awful.
