Guild Wars 2

Walder.6524:

Basically, I am looking for an easy-to-play, mostly stationary class/spec, mainly for solo PvE.!

I’m a person with slow reaction times, Necro is the best for me, I totally recommend it. No blocks and other active defences (I am very bad at timing those things), naturally high HP and shroud is more comfortable to me. Also, my Necro is full Knight (max defence) and I can solo everything and I never get downed during HoT metas either. I don’t play minion master but I heard it’s one of the easiest Necro builds.

Unpopular opinion here: I actually love the personal story. The only thing I hate is that I have to restart when I dc. And the Zhaitan fight is boring. But other than that, I love it and I love most of the NPCs too.

I have no idea what Legion is. But I’ve tried several MMOs since 2012 and I always return to GW2 in the end, lol…

My dream Legendary is cheap, easy to craft (not overcomplicated with 76336 steps), dyeable, has no fancy glows and other over-the-top stuff, small and semi-transparent (to reduce clipping issues). But I like EW’s “invisible weapon” idea too!

Farzo.8410:

Race popularity is not a bad or good thing, it doesn’t affect anything.

It’s just boring. Sad to see how people sink rather low to create characters that just looks the same as everyone else over and over again.

Shouldn’t have to be like that.

That’s why the “human female fashion meta” is a running joke, being constantly ridiculed.

I agree. You know what I find more boring than human characters? BLACK DYES.
I love Sylvari because of their colors! I enjoy using lots of random dyes on my gear like a rainbow and my Sylvari have colorful bodies too. It makes me sad when I see a character in full black because we have hundreds of amazing dyes to play with.

Scryeless.1924:

It would be overwritten by Swiftness so it would be a useless infusion.

Not everyone has / wants to gear for permaswiftness.

My Necro is Knight with defensive traits. I use the same build everywhere. Feel free to laugh but I love it… Anyway, story was easy to solo and the map is just like HoT maps: everyone gets downed around me while I don’t even go under 50% HP.

+25% movement speed, lol. I can dream, right? XD

Haha, I’m not even surprised. Clipping… Clipping everywhere!

I’ve been asking for this since closed beta, lol. People tell me it would be easy to identify Mesmer clones in PvP, then. And I always say “Let us disable names in PvE only.” :P

No to inspect, we have more than enough elitism already. I don’t mind duels IF we get a “disable duel requests” option at the settings.

I like the Electromagnetic glider because it’s semi-transparent and therefore it does not have clipping issues with my back weapons.

As a Knight Necro, I love this idea. :P

Tbh, I would go back to my “vanilla” Necro build in a heartbeat if it had a leap… That’s literally the only thing I’d miss from Reaper, haha… I’m weird.

Tim.6450:

Because staf is boring and has the strangest damage distribution.

So true… I hate the long cooldowns and it’s not optimal for power Necros (too many conditions).

I just want to be able to go back to the meta event / story instance map when I get disconnected and not lose rewards / story progress. Something like a “reserved” spot on the map for a few of minutes in case of dc.

I want short grass skirt for my Sylvari with clam bra, please. :P

Pyro.4765:

Interesting. I’m the opposite, I’d rather purely require points and get rid of the EXP grind. When I need to do unique tasks and explore to earn mastery points, it feels like I’m actually accomplishing something and “mastering” the game. When I need to run half a dozen stale meta events with boosters to unlock a single tier, it feels like I’m wasting my time.

I never used boosters and still managed to unlock what I wanted. But then again, I actually enjoy meta events (unless I dc), lol… My favorite mastery points are the ones I can just collect at specific locations on HoT maps…

It’s weird that everyone is so mad about this, I’ve been using the 20% MF thing in my amulet since forever, so nothing changed for me. Maybe it’s useless but +5 power wouldn’t help much either… XD

Probably an unpopular opinion here but my biggest wish is getting rid of mastery points altogether. Filling up the exp bar for the mastery should automatically unlock it. I am not an achievement hunter in any MMO, they are tedious and boring. When I play I want to do other things. I only unlocked masteries I needed for story plus unlimited gliding and autoloot. I don’t even bother with ther rest because I will never have enough mastery points. -shrugs-

SnowHawk.3615:

I drew these awhile back but something like this- please Anet take reference it’s okay and more!
ADD MORE STUFF

I WANT ’EM ALL! OMG THAT CACTUS!! -GRABBY HANDS- Ouch… x,D

I like any short but feminine hairstyle for my female characters. Long hair = clipping.

I’m not sure what’s going on, I don’t do fractals and I use WvW infusions, nothing changed for me and I still have my 20% MF amulet. Yay? -confused-

Randulf.7614:

What we mean is, what are they replying to in unison about what is “hard”? Reddit is hugely messy and difficult to read I find – I gave up trying to follow any of the actual conversation on there.

Exactly.

Thank you so much!

Hesacon.8735:

As a base power necro who runs axe/focus, the changes are nice to life blast, ghastly claws, and spinal shivers. But I might be the only one in the game who is going to see those as a practical boost.

-high five- I also thought I was the only one.

Usually 6pm gmt+1, in other words, in 14 mins.

BattleRattle.5420:

I ended up not going to the HoT maps at all after too many dc’s

Same and I won’t do long meta events ever again unless we get a “reserved” spot on the map for a couple of minutes in case of dc. I’m tired of working my butt off for nothing.

Yeah, I use SweetFX (via Reshade) and it works perfectly.

TexZero.7910:

All you needed to say was necro. They by default have the highest EHP out of all classes and naturally giving them toughness does more.

And that’s why they are the best! I love my immortal Necro build so much.

Alex Shatter.7956:

a zerker investment means enemies will kill you in two hits. A tanky invested character dies in three hits.

This is not true. I don’t have math but my Necro is full Knight. I can take waaay more hits than a Zerker. I usually do fractals with randoms and I’m often the only alive person reviving others while the boss is tickling my back. In fact, I don’t think I ever died on my Necro (in PvE) and I don’t even remember the last time I was downed… Toughness is underrated. :c

On topic: F—k the meta, play the way YOU want.

Not only a queue, but also a “reserved” spot on the map for a few minutes in case of dc. Losing 1+ hour of hard work because of dc during the Mordy fight and not getting the big loot is extremely frustrating.

I don’t have seizures but I do get motion sickness from certain video games (especially first person view ones and the rapidly moving / zooming camera during jumping puzzles in GW2). That “spinning” part of the map made me dizzy too but I only spent a few minutes there so it wasn’t too annoying.

Keksmuffin.1450:

i wish i would have your problems

I wish i have the same problem too.

*I wish I had…

Khisanth.2948:

Long hair sounds great until you start seeing your character’s hair clipping through everything constantly.

^ The sad truth. Exactly why I’m forced to choose short hairstyles for my female characters in most MMOs, lol…

You can do the personal story.

I agree, I’ve always avoided crafting in MMOs. It took me 2 (?) years to finally convince myself to craft Ascended gear for my Necro main. I am sooo glad I’m a mainoholic because I will never touch crafting again! It was annoying and tedious.

Once I looked up how to craft Mawdrey and I didn’t even start because it was just too overcomplicated. Why do I need 784647 items and “steps” to craft one thing? It’s a nightmare!

Last time it was only available in a pack, I really hope one day they will sell the costume separately… -crosses fingers-

Malediktus.9250:

Having something noone can get anymore is a great value.

They’re just pixels in a video game, how is it great value? -shakes head- I don’t understand people who get selfish over virtual items…

It looks like Mordy had diarrhea.

I’m afraid if we ever get new Sylvari cultural armor it will be the same clipping nightmare like the old ones… I am so sick of those huge leafy skirts, I want something tight…

ZanchinFissure.7981:

Chinese gamers are a different breed like Koreans who love to grind and expect it in their MMO’s.

That explains why the Lineage games are still popular there, lol.

Are you guys talking about the “placed too many items quickly” message? As a person who ALWAYS sells to the highest buyer, I see that message ALL the time! Did they just change something? I haven’t played since yesterday… -logs on to try-

Edit: Nope, I’m still getting that message, lol.

Yeah, it’s nice. But if my female Sylvari’s leg could stop clipping through the legging piece, that would be great. (That and every other skirt-ish legging piece in the game, basically)……….. -sad sigh-

I actually agree with OP. Ele and Engi CAN change weapons, out of combat. Which means the only thing they take away from them is convenience. It’s silly. Besides, not every Engi uses kits. I would sell my soul to play a Rifle/Hammer Engi with utilities like Rocket Boots, Ram and Elixir C. Screw the meta, that is my dream build but I can’t get it.

Capes = more clipping. No thanks.

EphemeralWallaby.7643:

I use toughness in a lot of my builds, and I drop way less often then those who don’t bother with it at all.

Same here! -high five- Toughness is so underrated it makes me cry.

Depends. I clearly remember the thread that suggested mail carriers and we got them. Bunny ears and other items came back. BUT there are many suggestions that get ignored. I guess you just have to get lucky. I think bug reports are worse. I have sent 786482 reports about clipping issues on my characters, they are still not fixed… XD

I’m not a fan of these new 4+ stat combos, tbh. I’m an oldschool person and I would sell my soul for power-toughness-con.dmg…

runeblade.7514:

Here is a solution, use the karma currency. Make Karma relevant again.

Sounds like fun, I have 14million Karma… Too much EotM, rofl.
