If you reached a point where you can win with just 1 cap it is quite save to do.

Hmm, it seems I am getting the penalty for trying to switch chars in the middle of a pvp game now, did they put that in to prevent this?

The penalty only happens if you need more than 2min to get back, which should not happen anyway since you want that win on that class

But you cannot blame the small team of 5-6 people who mainly work in raids for it. It is the other 200+ employes who work at seemingly glacial speeds and prefer making look everything super pretty instead of making more content with more replayability.
Just look at recent LS3 episode. The whole stuff is done after like 3 hours including achievements and then there is no reason to ever visit the instance again although a lot of effort was put into it.

The raid are not hardcore, they are what dungeons are supposed to be difficultyy wise imho. If you consider these raids hardcores already you barely played other games

Anything below 25k dps is not viable

You do not really need zerg once you maxed participation. Repairing a wall every now and then or flipping a ruin every few minute on a border is more than enough to keep it going

It should be time gated and untradeable

It is unfair because you can easily make one or more legendaries worth of profit with insider trading. If you think that is ok devs might as well spawn legendaries directly for their favorite players

If you reached a point where you can win with just 1 cap it is quite save to do.

Spirit Shards are useless anyway, you get so many of them and if you would want to convert them to gold you would have to click yourself to a broken mouse and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I’ve made far more money upgrading crafting materials than I’ll ever make adventuring. And, that requires spirit shards.

That is because 99% of the players cannot be bothered to convert their shards to gold since it is an insane amount of clicking. If all people would use their shards it would be less than 10s profit per shard.

Finding a premade for this game that is more useful than straight up soloQing is magnitudes harder than finding a good raid group for PVE.
Anet should make seasons strictly soloQ

I would suggest playing your main class for the class achievements, unless you have a slow computer with long loading times. Simply relog when you are winning @ like 450-470 points to the class where you need the win

Mining is a skill, so with quickness the mining process is 50% faster

Just build legendaries with them if you have spare Gifts of Exploration and sell them for 1 copper less on TP. Each legendary you craft is about 1000 gold of profit.
The HoT legendaries cannot be sold though

Shooting them in the face is very therapeutic.

that video shows nothing. yes it is possible to counter dhs, especially in 1v1, its fights with more players than that where it can become tedious to fight

Offair.2563:

Malediktus.9250:

The whole skill should be replaced for something else.
Its useless in PVE and overpowered in pvp+wvw

It’s only overpowered if the reciever is a complete nab. But that counts for most stuff.

Oh yes, because loosing your skills and traits for a whole 8 seconds is not overpowered

Zelanard.5806:

Malediktus.9250:

Guild halls are useless, so unless they make them more useful it looks like a waste of development resources. You spend maybe 1min a day there to mine the resources then never touch it again for the day.

That may be how You see it, but some of us enjoy spending time there hanging out with guildies :P

I can hang out in 1000 places in the game world with guildies if I wish to do that. No need to do that in a content less guild hall.

Are you sure you really had a 3 loss streak? If you didnt loose a pip in one of those games because someone of your team deserted it will not count to your loss streak.
I just ended a loss streak and gained 2 pips.

I can tell you why people ask for GW3. Because the whole GW2 engine and tools is totally outdated. A lot of it is 10 years old. That is why we still dont have DX11 support and Anet needs 9 month to make an armor set

Malediktus.9250:

Traps should have an arming time of 3-5 seconds after laying them down. Would fix a lot.

Dude, 2 of the traps dont even have cast time. A 1/2 Second cast time would be enough.

I know I main a guard with over 8k hours played on him. Traps are just no skill spam.
1 guard in a team is fair game, but as soon as there are 2 or 3 its redicilous
the whole trap stuff is just bad game design that should never have existed anyway

The new storm bow looks much better. Too bad it will likely be a gemstore item

I was thinking a 4th birthday select-a-weapon-skin box.

Unlikely. It will 99% chance be a gemshop item similar to chaos gloves

ZeftheWicked.3076:

any news about obtaining league tickets after s4? Because according to my calculations unless I reach diamond i’ll be 3 league tickets short of crafting my own ascension…

how did that happen? what did you spend tickets on?

The whole skill should be replaced for something else.
Its useless in PVE and overpowered in pvp+wvw

The new storm bow looks much better. Too bad it will likely be a gemstore item

Well the penalty needs to be higher, because insider trading gives thousands of gold profit for no effort

Or you know Anet could use placeholder items for crafting recipes and vendors. Eg make new vendors sell everything for 1 copper

slamfunction.7462:

Also note that we never got a response from Mr. Cartwright.

I count saying nothing as an admission

Cynz.9437:

There is too much stab thanks to flood of guards atm. No, ty.

Stability would counter dragon hunter spam though

Stability in PvP needs to work like in WvW. Max 1 stack per second removed. It is required to counter all the cc spam in the game

Maybe Gerent could give 2g once per day like Tequatl?

Tarir multi loot needs to be nerfed, then TD will become more popular again

Spartacus.3192:

Malediktus.9250:

I think Anet should only allow one dragonhunter per team, trap spam is redicilously unfun if you fight 2-4 dragon hunters

If ANET ever decides to do that it should apply to all classes. Because trust me after next patch another class will be op and people will be saying OMG i just faced 4 <insert class here> and got wrecked. Please stop more than 1 of that class in a match.

I would not mind it. It is also annoying to have several revs, druids, scrappers etc in enemy team

I think Anet should only allow one dragonhunter per team, trap spam is redicilously unfun if you fight 2-4 dragon hunters

Can confirm there is no title for S4 atm.
Anets attention to the details is going downhill

I’d like to think many people prefer quality over quantity but that’s just a wild generalization right?

No. People aren’t that reasonable. We may say we prefer quality over quantity, but what we really want is an endless quantity of quality!

quality isnt helpful if you burn through it in an evening, it is an MMO and not a movie

So much for “challenging group content” boosting the game – Casuals leaving was expected.
Too bad most “hardcore groupers” seem to spend ingame-gold instead of RL-cash.
Catering to the least profitable group 101?

I never buy gems with gold, I spend 100s of euros per year on gems
buying gems with gold is a bad use of my time

Let me ask, do you feel you get your money’s worth on Gem Purchases?

Not really, considering I could buy at least 10 full AAA games for my gem purchases

yea I kinda thought so.

The last time I bought a series of Gems was on the Heroes weapon sets (Kasmeer’s Staff, Majory’s Daggers…ect) when they were first released.

Since then I have just banked Gold into Gems on a weekly Basis, but I cant bring myself to buy anything on the store anymore. Its all just a bunch of lame stuff that will do nothing for me. Its all Glider Skins and outfits.

They need to change their direction with what they are doing here. and fast.

But what could they sell in shop to make more money without going straight up pay to win? I would like to see armor sets over outfits again, but Anet insists they are too much work

Masochistic player

Anet can you answer if this season will get a title or not? I need to decide if I want to grind out this pathetically bad season or not.

Not suprised considering how long the content draughts are and the huge amount of mistakes Anet has been doing.

Of course it would not suprise me if Anet scrapped the title system for pvp seasons, but the new titles for upcoming seasons were already datamined.

Sad, patch happened and still no new season achievement

True, played 39 matches – 14 wins
Game probably expects me to carry because I was legendary last season and so my MMR is probably higher than average saphire player MMR.

Resistance nerf is impossible unless you nerf condis first. WvW would be destroyed with all the condi spam if there was no resistance

I hate to mention it, but the items from
Bloodstone Harvest
Bloodstone Sightings

need manual unlock

Yes, please. Most of the people in my teams make me angry so spending even 1 more second with them is a disgrace and waste of time

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Maybe Anet thinks that if you’re a Solo Q player, you shouldn’t play Ranked? I’m only assuming this because the matchmaking algorithm is biased towards coordinated groups.

Maybe, I would group, but it is hard to find people of similar skill (or higher skill if they dont mind carrying) to group. Especially if you play many hours a day it is hard to find people who play as much as you

Another thing I noticed I have to play against 4 or 5 man premades almost every game, just because the match maker decided to put a duoQ in my team, fair matchmaking looks different to me
