This might be a silly worry, considering what Seras said, but am I the only one that wants them to work on/fix what they already have as far as content goes before just adding more of the same crap?
That is, the same events that do pretty much the exact same thing, with the broken scaling, broken tagging system, etc.
No doubt I am really excited to see a huge update regardless. But still, I hope they’re not just going to abandon all the content they already have. It’s like they built a fully functioning house but now need to decorate instead of building another basic house.

TBH it felt like my character had some obligation to beef up this geek’s confidence as if he felt bad for him, like that dorky cousin your mom forces you to hang out with and make feel better. Then he goes and ends up taking credit for your work lmao.
Trahearne : “Oh noes, I don’t think I can do it, I can’t lead or anything. Omg wat do?”
Tree Mommy : “You can do it, you’re so special have a legendary weapon!”
My Char : “You can do it Trahearne I beliebe in you!!! You’re so awesome trust me!”
~* I accomplish things pretty much by self *~
Trahearne : “I KNEW I could do it!!”
….
Again spoilers, I don’t want to spoil this for anyone.
So, what it is with Norn Women getting screwed over and turning into undead constantly? I’ve seen it happen 3 times now, and not to anyone else.
Apatia, turned into a Britney Spears Zombie.
Hekja (spelling?) that scout you go to the Orr Mesmer house thing, turned into a Britney Zombie as well, as you try to save her.
Then there’s that one (bear?) shaman chick who I had no idea who the hell she was, apparently was important or something, trusted to guard us as Trahearne did his thing-a-ma-jig in the tomb.
Oh look, she comes walking in, a Britney Zombie. Well that was fast… nice knowing you.
The game has it out for you Norn Chicks, beware……
What gets me is the friggin voice acting.
There was that one mission much later on in Orr where he tries to cleanse Orr or something like that and it doesn’t work out, and the line is :
“NO! It failed… blah blah blah.
But it was the most monotone, bored voice acting ever :
“oh no, it failed, what ever shall we do.”
I actually busted out laughing because it was so unexpected, he should be freaking out, but the voice actor obviously didn’t give a kitten lol.
ITT: Thieves try to defend OP Steal abilities, and talk about how much better Necro’s are than them.
Ugh.
To Slark, I’ve made some friends in overflow before that are rooted in other servers, especially during Halloween, so it’s not really that simple.
I haven’t had problems doing dungeons or getting into overflow with people from other servers, I imagine they could just utilize an overflow server for guesting somewhat.
They work for both last time I’ve tested them in the mists.
They have cooldowns though you know.
Well it looks like it’s glowing to me, I could be wrong.
I think that’s because it’s a particle effect. =/
And what I find funny, people that complain about PvE’s faults in this game, people argue “This game is a pvp game, that’s the endgame”.
I’d rather have wells just be tied to weapon skills or something instead, so they can be buffed w/o being OP.
Hate how cooldown based how dmg is because of how much power builds rely on wells and Life Blasts.
The greatsword favoritism still pisses me off. >=[
If only they could put that much effort into the rest of the weapons. Daggers are a good example of the most screwed.
You can argue “real estate” but most daggers are still so generic looking.
I’m usually annoyed with how many lame Staves there are, look at the Golden or Molten staves, great examples. Just a stick with a hood ornament.
Hell the Greatsaw skin looks like a friggin mini-legendary, all it’s missing is the sound effect.
Funny, I’m looking to level and alt now and all I want is to “powerlevel him to the fun bit and ignore the boring content”.
Why would I want to do the same hearts/events all over again. z.z
I’m really hating the MF design, I shouldn’t be forced to wear this crap to keep up with everyone in terms of loot/money, absolutely horrible decision.
If it was a free stat that just came on the side and everyone would get it anyway (which makes it pointless) atleast it wouldn’t affect anything.
A tiny cutscene of a lion statue turning into a laughing hole.
In a nutshell.
I started playing a warrior finally and I gotta say, definately overrated.
Axes were by far better. The auto attack DPS from Axe alone is disgusting compared to greatsword.
Only thing that’s nice about GS is the mobility and almost has that “Tryndamere” feeling.
I think it’s just poorly designed, for Warrior atleast, and probably Ranger as well. Warrior’s 100b and Adrenaline skills seem completely backwards, 100b should be the adrenaline and vice versa.
Ranger is basically a utility stick in a sense the way Shortbow is, with pretty much ALL the dmg being baked into the auto attack, but they nerfed GS’s auto attack along time ago, so it’s just meh.
As far as Mesmer is concerned, Greatsword is actually really good now, as a long range weapon, up-close it really performs sort of crappy just because of how it’s designed.

That’s just something you’re going to have to live with in this game unfortunately.
It’s incredibly shallow
Necro fixes or bust… =[
necros get no love man just quit playing it…like most have
I REFUSE
Necro fixes or bust… =[
If this breaks PvP then Norn/Charr break pvp.
It’s refreshing to finally have good camera distance on my asura……..
Honestly I would NEVER trade that way with someone I don’t know, just asking to be scammed, and not worth the risk.
I just still can’t believe there is no trading system in this game, unbelievable imo.
Considering that “bling” is literally the only thing to work towards, the only tangible goal, it is quite important.
If there was absolutely no carrot what would you be doing as far as PvE goes? Imma do some dungeons or events purely for the FUN of it, great I’m sure it’s fun the first 2 or 3 times, then what? Karma? Gold? What use is that if there’s no carrot to spend it on?
On Topic : I’m not a fan of RNG myself, and I’m actually incredibly surprised Anet put so much in the game. The thing I hate more about the Mystic Forge is how many secret recipes there are, and it’s a pain to find all the information of what I can or even WANT to make.
I really wish they removed the RNG elements from Legendaries and actually made it a skill-based requirement or something.
Best advice would be to not TRY to beat it, just try to enjoy it. The more you practice and get used to learning how to jump each little obstacle you’ll get your rhythm and just plow through it.
Can you say, Clone Spam + Legendary.
Exactly, Shortbow is basically the same thing to Thieves, a mandatory utility stick, difference is Shortbow is amazing as a standalone weapon, it does INCREDIBLE dmg.
You know what’s doubly sad?
I’m here running mad king with my mesmer guildy, bragging his Warlocks critting for 6k while my Necro Feast on Corruption in a hybrid build crits for 2k max on a 10 second cooldown.
Le sigh.
I just so desperately want staff to be better as a standalone weapon.
Being able to go glass cannon on say a Shortbow thief, or Ele and just pew pew with hard hitting auto’s then go to my Necro in a power build and they barely do as much, makes me weep.
Only unique condition we have in those situations is Fear.
If you trait/build to get it to 2 seconds with the dmg trait it can do about 1500 per 2 sec fear.
So, if you are thinking of quitting, what would have to be in the next patch to change your mind?

Anything really, just some progress.
Boost Staff auto dmg.
That’s it, one small thing, a small bone for us. Pretty please.
Yeah Axe I don’t really understand too much, not really a weapon you would channel through.
If anything the dagger should’ve been the 600 ranged weapon.
Anyway on Trahearne, saying he’s no longer a necromancer is like saying a Necro using Bifrost is no longer a necro but instead a Rainbow Warrior. Trahearne only had those skills because of his weapon.
Yeah it would be really nice if they could make it more convenient.
Similar to how WoW eventually made them super convenient. Just unlocked into a collectible tab thing you access from your Char Window, that and they stay out when you zone and w/e.
Would love to have 10-15% increase from default at the very least.
I wouldn’t ever have my camera zoomed THAT far, but it’s still nice to have the option…..
Especially if I want to look at something.
And still I would like to have my camera permanently zoomed out like 10-15% more than the default distance.
I know people hate that we’re complaining, but you gotta admit this is a bit anti-climactic. Lol =p
They can sometimes drop good stuff though I think.
2 Lyssa for 10 and 4 Nightmare for 10
TBH I actually wish they made minions work like phantasms. I prefer the playstyle much more, and it would really fit the “temporary” pet theme.
Actually 20% from runes, so technically 4.5 but I swear from testing I’ve counted a little over 5 seconds.
And also 6 sec immobilize on bolas with 16 sec cooldown lol and 5 sec immo on 25 sec, lol. =p
I was using it to basically make me impossible to catch/kill.
Hell anyone warrior can fit bolas + 30 in Power tree for 5.2 sec immobilizes with a 16 second cooldown. Considering stun breaks and stability don’t do squat against it, and how unreliable most condition removals are against it, it’s one of the strongest conditions and pretty much will FORCE cooldowns.
Btw I was serious about the fear thing.
I’ve been doing condition duration warrior builds for fun.
Literally 5-6 second immobilizes and fears.
Yeah but atleast youtube/livestreams won’t spoil it for you!
Oo
I think it’s incredibly ironic actually.
“We removed the trinity because spamming ‘LF Healer GTG’ isn’t fun”
Yet since those games have LFG system people don’t have to spam that, and here you do.
Delicious irony haha.
As a necro main, yes, I weep.
;(
I think you should be more worried about ranged CC warrior builds.
Rifle/Longbow, 5-6 second immobilizes on short cooldowns, 5-6 second aoe fears.
Yeaaaah!
I find this more irritating with my own allies.
The fact that I cannot see allies health or conditions unless I look at the UI and then try to figure out who’s where, it’s a joke.
A simple little hp bar above the head with small condition/boon symbols would be awesome.
What’s wrong IMO, is the game is basically 1 extreme or the other.
Either you’re unkillable (or nearly) or you just die instantly to burst dmg.
Should tone both down and have it be a little more consistent, no one should be dying in 1-1.5 seconds no matter how glass they are unless theres 2 or more people bursting said person or something. And on the flip side, no one should be able to hold off 3 people for a long period of time unless it actually takes skill (or there is a difference in skill).
No it’s not bad, it’s not great/amazing compared to some other classes. But it’s playable and I play mine.
The ONLY thing I really have an issue with is our lack of build variety, trait revamp would make me happy.
Could also put a marker over your own head that only you can see.
Or make other people look transparent to you, like that wispy ghost effect.
What they could do, make dungeons that rewarding, or close to it.
YEAH
“Hey Necro’s, we know you’re not happy and still have issues to work out, we’re working on it still, some more stuff incoming soon-ish/sometime.”
All we need. =p
