oh noo hiring 10 new voice actors!!
What do you think that with all the effort and the growing team size they worry that much about hiring 10 new voice actors?
I said it before and I say it again, there is nothing that could stop Anet to provide us a new race, nothing other than the devs thinking that it does not make sense to have it because it’s not needed at the moment, but that is up to them to decide.
With all the people asking for new content and new races I’m expecting a new race or at least a new profession for the next expansion.
So please stop this nonsense, trying to act like you know what they can afford and what not, you clearly don’t know and it shows how little you know about game development.
Cheers,
D.
Seeing as we now have 3 heavy 3 medium and 3 light classes I dont expect another class ever.
And as for race why? so people can whine even more about race change option?
How about avoiding corpses at all and reviving people while they are downed?
We have a large group of players who still beleive, helping a downed ally is the worst thing you can do in a boss fight. Those people beleive their contribution to the dps is critical and should never stop at all, at any cost. Some of them are focused enough to rather risk a full wipe instead of “wasting” 5 seconds of their precious time.
Not to mention the fact that they also let their healers/buffers/cleansers & tanks die, just because dps>all. When the tank is gone, the boss aims for the next. If there are only zerkers arround, it is russian roulette. When the healers are gone, the ammount of corpses increase. And so the ammount of players who refuse to WP.
Don’t blame the few guys who refuse to WP, they are not the problem. Change the problem in the heads of the players. The entire situation is created by the players themselves. Teach your people to revive downed people instead of ignoring them.
Well you dont really need healers buffers or tanks in any other content then raids mate so there is that.
frankly open world isnt that rewarding either since it largely boring and the rewards are 1 time.
Have you played hot open world at all?
Sure world bosses in core have a daily rare chest each but the hot metas you can do as many times as they are up.
Edit
The world bosses you can do more times aswell if you play more then 1 character you just miss out on rare bonus chest + the exotic map chest from Teq and Wurm.
The thing about open world maps is: I dont have the time to play the isntance game w8 an hour or half an hour ago and they are gated usually every 2 hours. On the other hand you could get 4 buds and just go in dungeons or frcatals pre hot and jsut stay there do your thing be rewarded for your trouble and have fun. Now its “go in play 40 mins get your rewards be done for the rest of the day”. Im ok with developers limiting play time thats ok time gates are allright but this is an extreme
Well no mate they nerfed dungeons, people got upset.
Then they buffed tokens instead of 60 a day each path you get 100.
Then for every 8 diffrent path 5 gold and 150 tokens of your choice that you can do how ever many times you like.
So first run ac all 3 paths cof 2 paths and lets say coe all 3 paths 800 tokens(150) 5gold + trash and the coin from each path.
Second run 5 gold but 160 tokens(150).
When I first started I thought you could do each path only once a day but it reset every time.
Edit
Adding in how trivial they done dungeon with the hot power creep you actualy make more coin now then before. ( Well unless you sold path that people used to do that was more profitable but made useless with the 150 free what ever tokens chest you can get unlimited numbers a day.)
Perhaps those talking about dungeon skins being available outside of dungeons might consider that that availability is in the other two game modes, not elsewhere in PvE.
So no reason legendary armor cant be provided in spvp and wvw reward tracks aswell.
Dont see what point your post bring to the discussion at all mate.
Dungeons were totally fine without that exclusive content.
Right, because dungeon skins and runes aren’t exclusive rewards. Plus it was the top gold farm at the moment. Try again.
So please tell me were I can get legendary armor functionality outside of raid since now the skin exclusitivity is what you defend.
You could get exotic equipment from karma vendors in orr, random drops and Wvw merchants so that tier wasent exlusive at all.
The functionality is mostly irrelevant. The exclusivity is in the skin, just like it was for dungeon armors. Which you couldn’t, and still can’t, get as random drops.
Yes but you can get them from reward tracks so then maybe they should implement the same for the legendary armor right?
Please tell me where I can get legendary functionality outside of gerent or provisioner tokens.
I never said you could if you read the guy, I respond to he say legendary functionality is mostly irrelevant, we were talking about the skin and how dungeon skins couldent be earned outside of dungeons.
That have been for a long time false.
So then I said the should then be implemented for legendary armor and its skin aswell going by what anet have previously implemented right?
Edit Maybe you should read the 3-4 post bettwen me and the other person before coming with a odd comment from the left field?

Sure, as long as it takes as much time and effort as acquiring it through actual raiding.
Oh I would say it would have to take atleast 4-5 times longer since you can do it solo at your own pace.

5 golds for a raid wing kitten thats cheap jump on those offers mate.
Its less then dailys for 3 days so easy 10-15 mins a day buy you 2 out of 4 raid wings.

So on the one hand you say its to easy to level then complain that you dont level fast enough when you map complete, since you run into the higher level part of the zone.
You nailed the only ways we have and need to do this.
Ofcourse you do it for the challenge not the reward right?
Yes you need to do the first mission in hot to unlock masteries, do what you feel is right for you, you will most likely get stuck not gaining more exp due to lack of mastery points afew times in the future anyway.
One can always trade them in for Spirit Shards, rather than keeping them in inventory.
Good luck.
Only if you have maxed your masteries. Still though, if there is an empty char slot use them for key runs at least.
what is a key run?
A key run is when you do the level 10 personal story to get a key. It’s not to unusual for people to have a char slot which they keep for this use, repeatedly creating, leveling, doing a weekly key run then deleting the char.
if you have to many tomes I would urge you to level that char to 60 for 3 keys and some other goodies like karma booster.
No it clearly says your preventing new conditions to hit you not retractivly countering condtions already on you.
As someone stated above do you expect the invulnerability to negate the hit you took just before pressing said button?
Edit
Yes I agree game should do a better jobb explaining that hey condition removal skills are usefull they are actualy here for a reason and use combo finishers in light fields.
You are my hero, LinseyMurdock, for taking the time and making that list. As an on again off again crafter, there are a lot of materials that I need for a short while, but then I have to sell or destroy them until I realize that I need them for the next profession. This update, if you manage to actually implement it, will save me a lot of bag space across all of my account. I hope that the agony resist items are for all of their numbers, but that is wishful thinking on my part. Thank you again for your hard work and I can hardly wait to see this beautiful quality of life change be implemented in the game and good luck with all of your projects.
You do know you can just upgrade them to +9 at the fractal vendor right? went from 1½ characters full of stuff to 3 for slots in one doing that.
Upgrades are as easy or difficult as your members let it be. As is donating. My original assertion is many in game cannot donate 100’s of gold because they haven’t played since launch, and spend a lot of time on the BLTC playing the stock market. Some have lives and spend less than a few hours a week in game. But I guess they have no right to expect anything, I mean go hard core or go home right? The MMO creedo. If a small group of friends wanted to form a guild and see it grow, as mentioned it can take many months. That’s fine. My suggestion would help them, but according to the replies here that is bad? Go figure.
How would it help them by forcing gold they otherwise would get into the guild storage?
Edit
If they wanted to spend that gold on the guild they would.
Oh hi everyone! This bug still exists. Tried getting her killed, tried getting us all killed, tried leaving the dungeon and coming back. Nothing worked.
Yea and it will continue to exist dungeons are not getting updated.
Anet should put this info in the game somewhere. Because this is just plain not how conditions work in every other MMO. It runs counter to what most people assume coming from any other game.
If you played GW1, you might realize that this is how conditions have always worked in the series. They ignored most evasion/block skills and persisted through invuln skills. Just look up 55 monk if you’re bored some time. I don’t even have to Google to point out that not all MMOs work the way you insist.
To other points though: conditions are designed (at least in theory) to be a ramp-up style of damage. It would be kind of pointless if you could wipe them perfectly clean with an invuln skill, because ramping up takes much more time and effort than direct skills. As it stands, there are plenty of tools to deal with conditions in PvP, and you need to learn how to use them.
I wasn’t saying there was no way to deal with conditions. Simply pointing out that the way conditions work in the guild wars series is not intuitive at all. I honestly cannot think of any other major MMO, or any other game that handles status effects in the same way as GW2.
Its completely understandable why it would be confusing to use an invulnerability skill then die while “invulnerable” for anyone who hasn’t played the guild wars series.
It’s just not something most players are used to. Saying “Git Gud” doesn’t help at all.
And thats good why be like everyone else?
A wake up call to read up on how it works then I guess.
thats usualy what they mean, click of the icon of your class then scroll down to if your power or condition speced.
Both builds got a green button with written rotations.
Edit
If you can come close to 60-70% of what they do and your 9 team mates do aswell it shouldent be a problem.
Edit 2
About the green circles groups usualy make 4 people go to those since rest need to melee focus boss.
I fully expect that, irrespective of validity or lack of validity of the OP’s points, ANet will avoid/ignore HoT once the new XPac launches, except for fixing the occasional bug or exploit. After all, isn’t that what all MMO developers do with old content once new content rolls around?
More importantly, though, I expect that players will not avoid HoT, at least not for quite some time, especially if significant numbers of players who have not bought HoT get access to it via the previously announced bundling of HoT in with the new XPac.
Yes this is true but that is becouse they add levels so the old content is dead content, gw2 will never have dead open world content as long as it gets in new players.
If you’re on a US server, hit me up in game. I’ve helped many many people through HoT.
Here’s someone offering to help the OP out, no obligation to join a guild. That’s hardly toxic.
@OP: are you not on an NA world?
I thank everyone who offered help the first person whispered me in game and we did some of it, as far as finding a guild goes I have been looking and have yet to find an active guild doing many guilds events or any for hot exploration but thanks for judging me and assuming.
What have I assumed?
Got a follow up question how was the post judging you?
The reason why SOME people are less “friendly” in HoT is because the content is harder and not everyone is good at typing and playing. It’s easy to type in core tyria, because you’re not as ;likely to die when you do. That has nothing to do with friendly. It has to do with the ability to communicate while in danger.
Plenty of friendly people in HOT who just don’t type well.
I did not say friendly I said toxic, perhaps you missed that part?
You often get treated as you teat others just saying mate.
I give you: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stat_changing
You are welcome.
Also all you need for raids is exotic if you can pull your weight. Hardly a gear treadmill when you can get a full set of decent gear in aproximately 3 hours or less.
Stat swapping is a bandaid solution.
If I need berserker for X content and viper for Y content, how much would a daily or a weekly swap swap cost me, taking into account the price of upgrades too?
No, that is not what people typically refer to as gear treadmill. So no, you are incorrect. People kicking you because of gear they think you should have is not the same as obtaining higher levels of gear to advance to the next level of raid or content.
If your DPS gear gets outdated by new gear that offers superior DPS, then you have a case of higher level gear being released over time. People will kick because you’re having mathematically inferior stats than you should have.
Well ofcourse after you have your first berserker armor set you slowly get more boxes and then stat swap the second armor set to vipers now you got condi and power build.
I run a minion necro, and I never EVER AFK farm. But, now I can’t even survive there, because my minions get taken out almost immediately. Even when I’m running full tilt, they’re blasted because they don’t know how to dodge or move out of the blast radius.
Please have the artillery take out minions that haven’t moved recently, and turrets, but not active players meat (and bone) shield.
I have no issues going alone with my necro, I don’t even have blood magic nor death magic, but it’s probably cuz i go with my WvW gear (full trailblazers)
I have no idea why so many ppl on pve complain about the content, it’s never been hard anyways…
Do you even have minions out since that what the person your responding to is complaning is getting rekt
