Every profession: Sylvari. :P Because I’m such a Sylvari fangirl. XD
My other fave combos: Asura – Ele, Sylvari – Mesmer, Charr – Engi, Human – Thief,
Norn – Ranger.
Unpopular opinion: I am actually glad they are gone, they had some ugly graphic issues (hand-head clipping, texture stretching)! HOWEVER, since many people like them, I think Anet should bring them back and make every idle animation (every race) OPTIONAL at the settings! I want to get rid of my Sylvari’s idle animations because one of them have annoying clipping issues with my arms / weapon.
EDIT: The post above me has nice suggestions as well! +1!
DPS and proximity definitely contributes to aggro. The wiki says it’s unconfirmed that toughness contributes to aggro. In my own n=1 experience, though, it does. I rarely build for dps, and in my higher toughness builds I get targeted by more mobs in group events and champs then other players. They make a bee line right for me, despite my sucky damage.

That’s good to know, thanks for the info. The only time I notice aggro on me is when I run in circles at the Blighting Tower (DS) and suddenly I have 20+ mobs on me. It makes me giggle when others die in matter of seconds and I barely go under 50% HP (Shroud helps a lot, though). :P
Hm, did I miss something? Why do people like Canach so much? :O
Doesn’t a high Toughness level make mobs target you more often? I remember hearing that somewhere.
I heard that too! But when I’m in groups, I don’t get targeted more often than others. Aggro seems random to me. :o
I’ve been Knight Necro since forever. Never got downed on HoT maps before and I’m proud of that. My traits are defensive too. I mostly played tank in oldschool MMOs… Old habits die hard. Anyway, Knight is awesome. Or a mix of Knight and other stats. Toughness is underestimated.
Before logging off, I go to the closest house / camp / tent and type /sleep :P
I would sell my soul and a kidney to see this male Sylvari hairstyle on my female Sylvari.
I agree, I would be happy if it were something like dimensions in Rift. Also, housing items should come from: NPC (building blocks and basic stuff), crafting and gem store.
Why is a house in an MMO fun? Do you get XP from vacuuming? Find random coins under the couch cushions? Gain materials from doing yard work?
I honestly don’t see the attraction.
Not everyone wants to find exp and stuff every step in Tyria. There are players who enjoy building houses for creativity and roleplay. It’s a kind of “fun” too. Also, player housing is always OPTIONAL in MMOs. You are NOT forced to do it. Just like I don’t see the “attraction” of fractals, that doesn’t mean others can’t enjoy it.
I really want player housing it’s the only reason why I still play one of my old MMOs.
I AGREE! Oh and Anet, while you’re at it, some non-skirt LIGHT armor too, please! Something tight like Profane! I’m sick of clipping. I want tight PANTS. Thank you.
Staff needs its identity crisis solved.
It’s either a condition weapon with the marks, or a power weapon with the autoattack.
Developers need to decide which and adjust either the damage of marks with power scaling or change the autoattack to apply bleed+poison stacks.
The issue is, it SHOULD be a power ranged aoe weapon. Scepter already outclasses staff in the ranged condition department and alongside epidemic and scepter 2 it puts out more ranged aoe condi pressure than the staff.
So they could just shift the staff to be a power aoe/soft weapon, with hard hitting mark triggers and debuffing.
Fix the projectile speed of the autoattack to match the base speed of fireball/longbow arrows.
This is true, though. I would sell my soul and a kidney for a proper ranged power weapon because Axe sucks.
I love the Staff but hate the cooldowns. 5 – 12 – 15 – 20 sec CDs would be perfect. It was something like that in beta but then they ruined it. I’m still crying.
“Would You Buy Decoration Packs?” – No, NOT for guild hall! BUT A 1000 TIMES YES FOR PLAYER HOUSING!!!
Necromancer forever!
I added the -32 switch and Sweet FX is working again.
Must not like 64 bit.
This worked, thanks! I can’t live without SweetFX, lol.
Yeah, it’s awesome, thanks Anet!
If people need more coins they should buy more accounts. I got 30 accounts so I produce way more coins than I can use for myself
Haha, I only have 2 accounts but I’m too lazy to log on my 2nd one… XD
I wish I could sell my unwanted character slots… #LifeOfAMainoholic
Anet might be wrong about the 3rd party software but no one should AFK farm in the first place. I have a Necro but I would never do it. What’s the point of playing a game if you go AFK?
I preferred when the shared inventory slots was together with the other slots.
Now it is like this :
Row 1 : Only one share inventory then just blank
Row 2 : Starter BackpackThe emptiness is killing me XD
I need an option to put it back as before T_T
^ This. x_x
what??
Black Desert and Blade and Soul are dead already??
I thought black desert is doing pretty good…
I wanted to try Black Desert but the open world PvP at max lvl scared me away. In Blade and Soul’s case, that horrible loot auction system scared me away. So I’m still in GW2. It’s not perfect either but at least nothing scares me away from it, lol.
For me, the option via a check box would be fine. As an older player, my eyesight isn’t what it used to be and even the dark they have now creates some challenges. Still, I do understand why some would want it.
I agree. I wish I could have day all the time.
To me it’s Ele because of lowest HP and def.
It is actually much better now because you do not have to go with your lowbies anymore. You can do EotM with your lvl 80 because you get one account bound Tome for every WvW rank which gives you one whole level! I have farmed over 400 Tomes since they removed the exp. Enjoy!
So not only tracks, but every WvW rank gives you a Tome. Add WvW tracks and Keep daily to that and you will get plenty!
plz no
Vindictus had this and it was filled with ppl trying to sell things, trolling, and botting (which would still happen with stolen accounts).
Yup. And not only Vindictus, many other MMOs have the same problem. :c
Collecting skins and gold, exploring for fun (I’m still far away from 100% completion lol), WvW / EotM, meta events (SW, DS, Cursed Shore), chest farm, dailies, helping guildies.
Edgar, I have seen at least one game that does much of that. Some of it better than GW2. Different genre though. Superheroes rather than Fantasy.
Marvel Heroes!
I do not agree. I actually didn’t like GW1 because everything was instanced. Also, those henchmen and heroes were annoying and boring. I don’t like it when I have to rely on NPCs. I either want to solo or play with real people. I prefer GW2 in every aspect.
Too bad we can’t trade old ones for new ones. :c
what would you add?
id add fishing
Huh… Weird question because profession in GW2 is actually “class” like Necro, Thief, etc, lol. You got me confused…
I’ve been using Knight gear since forever and I must say, Berserker is the worst thing for someone who can’t handle it. The amount of squishy Zerkers who get downed on HoT maps and in Fractals is too freaking high. Of course I am the only person who stays alive and has to revive their sorry butts… Berserker might be awesome in good hands but let’s face it, 9 out of 10 people are too clumsy to handle Zerk gear, they get downed all the time which ends up as a DPS loss in the end. A huge squad in a HoT meta would actually kill things faster if they used some defensive stats. Seriously, go to Dragon’s Stand. People get downed in one hit and then they just lie there until revived.
Oh gosh, this makes me want player housing even more…
Just be creative and come up with cool names for yourself. In the end, no one cares about your name. :P
Open world PvE (Cursed Shore farm, SW/CF, DS, Tarir) and EotM.
My theory was: better to get the use of the shared slot “today” and not worry about the most efficient use. I’m happy I did that.
I totally agree. I’m a mainoholic, I used my boost on my Mesmer alt I will probably never use but at least I have my shared slot. I put copper-fed salvage-o-matic in it so I don’t have to throw it around when I open bags on my lvl53.
Axe offhand for Necro (ranged power weapon that grants might, fury and pulsing AoE damage) with an Axe main hand revamp (#1 and #2 skills should hit up to 3 enemies near the targeted one, #1 should deal more damage).
That is KITTEN awesome. :P
But Mea.5491 DPS is life DPS eveything this game, wich actually is.
Not for everyone. I enjoy my tanky builds. Nothing makes me laugh more than all the squishy people who get downed in 1 hit during the DS meta. In the end, I deal the same damage because I don’t get downed. Sure, some people can run Zerker just fine but too many noobs pick Zerker and die all the time, it’s sad.
You know what would be pay to win? If Anet sold Legendary stuff for real money. An expansion is not P2W. Also, I have HoT and I still run my old “core build” on my Necro.
I don’t feel worse than a Reaper. It’s only worse to elitist people who only care about DPS.
It’s still extra annoyance. How about no runes and sigils at all? Anet could just change the drops: no sigils and runes in dropped gear below Exotic, problem solved. :P
I don’t know about others but I definitely don’t want to pay 80g for an item just to play with 10 copper runes and sigils… I wouldn’t have the patience for that anyway…
Unpopular opinion: I actually like Hearts for leveling because they are always there (unlike events) and they also tend to give more exp than events. However, I don’t think I want them as repeatable dailies…
Since many people here want “more intelligent” mobs, let me tell you that there was a patch in beta when mobs used to dodge attacks and everyone was annoyed so they changed it back. If they ever give boons to the mobs, expect a lot of whining!
I really want to use my Necro’s Focus in PvE but it might be a better idea to give different effects to skills in PvE and PvP like some skills in GW1. Not sure why Anet won’t do that, we have such a small number of skills compared to GW1…
It actually depends on your server and the time you enter. I’m on a tier 1 server and we kill other zergs easily. Also, entering exactly at a new EotM round = more stuff to cap.
I usually get 5 Tomes / hour in EotM. WvW is slower.
I prefer the world boss daily. JPs often give me motion sickness (especially in caves when I can’t zoom out properly).
They have for others. If you are polite in your request and explained what happen, they are pretty good about it. I think it’s like a 2 week limit they do it. So if any sale item ispurchased within 2 weeks before the sale, they help out.
That’s good to know, thanks for the info.
In your situation, you could have sent in a ticket to Anet. They are pretty good about doing refunds like that if the sale is really close to purchase time.
Would they really do that? Oh well, it’s too late already, it was 2 months ago. I’m getting over it… :P
