Let's Talk About: Specializations

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Morsus.5106

Morsus.5106

My guesses for some Specializations.

First one is obvious.

  • Necromancer/Deathknight – Uses Greatswords to slaughter enemies, and applies lots of crowd control.

Second one is mostly speculation, but makes sense to me. Devs have been trying to get Guardians into a more offensive place (Litany of Wrath for example.)

  • Guardian/Crusader – Uses Longbows as its new weapon, and applies protection and aegis to allies from afar. Applies might and fury to him/herself and allies.

A little far fetched, but I can see the pact training Elementalists into hardened soldiers for dealing with Mordremoth’s minions.

  • Elementalist/Battlemage – Uses swords as its new weapon. It imbues allies with the power of the elements.

No raids seriously?

They talked about challenging group content. I think stuff like Tequatl and Great Jungle Wurm are the closest to raids we’ll be getting.

Imho, those were to big and to uncoordinated. What i really want is like GvE or something to unlock special features for the guild and masteries not only PvP/WvW related. Like 10 man dungeons and such.

I don’t think the developers are interested in doing “10 man dungeons”.

What do you know about the new class ? I’d love to know any information if you can.

There is no new class, just a new addition to the heavy armor class. The new profession is a heavy armor Ritualist.

It is a new class.

Location of Season 2 in the Gem Store?

They had this in Guild Wars 1, and you could access all of their skills, but still had to use your main class’ armor and weapons.

New players buying gw2/ LS bundle

in Living World

Posted by: Morsus.5106

Morsus.5106

Its not even close to 1/8, maybe even less, of the content that you get when buying gw2. To be forced to pay 20$ for such a small amount of content is absurd.

You’re not forced to buy it. I agree with you wholeheartedly, $20 for Season 2 is a rip-off, but no one is forcing new players to buy it.

What's the Minimum # of new skills you want?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Morsus.5106

Morsus.5106

Eye of the North added 10 new skills per class, so anything less than that here would be a failure on Anet’s part IMO, but at this point I’d settle for 5 good skills. And by “good” I don’t mean like those crappy healing skills we got with the tower of nightmares, I mean useful ones that I will actually slot into my build.

an expansion might be useless

The original Guild Wars had 3 expansions, and not once did the raise the level cap, so I think it’s a safe assumption that they won’t be boosting the level cap here. I sure hope they don’t.

Just because I run Berserker on my Guardian doesn’t mean all I bring is DPS… I also bring Wall of Reflection.

will other stats in pve ever rival berserker?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Morsus.5106

Morsus.5106

Not a single one of my 20 characters runs a Bezerker build, yet they are all still alive!

That’s because Berserker makes it harder to survive, but increases the speed you can get through the dungeon. It’s nice when you’re farming because by the time you’ve done CoF/Se/CoE the 100th time you just want it done.

Damage will always be king, because it allows you to finish the content quicker, and get your rewards faster. World of Warcraft balances it by having roles that need to be filled, but the average Guild Wars 2 player doesn’t seem interested in roles, and so by having the “Mix-N-Match” parties damage will remain king. Even in strategy games like Fire Emblem I go all damage because it allows me to accomplish the goal of killing everything faster.

Maybe it is my old age, but I just suck at JP’s. Glad I have a friend with teenage reflexes to help me out.
And is it just me or do the changes they are making to the game as a whole seem to be making game more of a juvenile experience?

I’m 16, and I dislike the “New Player Experience” for the most part. (I think hunting traits is fun on my main, but he already has all his traits from back in 2012.)

I’m just going to quote my response to the last “Get rid of the zerkers” thread.

Let’s say there are some fields that kids like to play on, and Marty wants to play Soccer (football for those of you outside the US). The sign outside the fields says that you can play whatever you want, and so Marty goes over to the kids playing baseball and says that they should all play soccer. The kids tell him that they don’t want to play soccer, they want to play baseball. There are some kids a few fields over playing soccer, but instead of going and playing with them, or finding some other kids to play soccer with, he keeps arguing with the kids who want to play baseball. “The sign says I can play what I want, and I want to play soccer!” He tells the other children, and so the other children ignore him and go back to their game of baseball. Marty tries to play soccer on the same field as the children playing baseball and runs into another child. The children kick him off of the field they’re playing on, and go back to their game. Instead of going and playing soccer with the children who are still playing soccer, he goes to the parents, and tells them how the other children are bullying him and excluding him. The parents scold their children for excluding poor Marty. Marty still isn’t satisfied, and demands that the parents make their children play soccer with him. What do you think the parents are going to do?

Think maybe you’re playing too much?

If that’s the case, than it was a pretty bad decision to make the loot feel terrible for the people who play the game a lot.

Or incorrectly?

No more AP for individual dailies? Really?

Morsus.5106

The problem the OP is having is it will muddle the use of AP as a filter for speedruns and uberboss team formation.

Got to keep those unwashed masses out of elite AP club.

(In case you aren’t joking, here’s a serious response)
I suck at most dungeons, but people think I’m good because I have 6,500 AP and a mini Liadri. Heck, my Guild members were shocked that I had never run any Arah path aside from story. AP was never a good way of measuring someone’s skill, and I’m a prime example of that.

Previously you had to do all 10 dailies to get 10 AP, now you only need to complete 3 and you get better rewards. What’s the problem?

Dungeon selling isn’t against the rules, but stealing instances is. Shouldn’t action be taken against the rule breakers?

You can immobilize and CC in Berserker gear too. Why would not being Zerker help with CC?

[Sugg] Changeable sigils on legendary

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Morsus.5106

Morsus.5106

No. The reason that you can select stats on a legendary weapon is so you don’t have to replace the weapon when you get a new build. However, I could support unlocking Sigils/Runes to swap on any weapon/armor.

The content wouldn’t magically become bigger/longer/better because they bunched it together.

If the expansion was a Guild Wars styled one there would be more content, but, you are correct, ArenaNet will not put a whole lot of content into an expansion. On paper we hope they would include all of a content, new classes, etc. in the expansion, but in reality all ArenaNet would do is bunch up the Living Story. You are correct on paper, but no one wants to look at a disappointing reality of the ArenaNet dev speed we want to place it all on the hope they would be able to churn out a real expansion.

In my example the one day represented the lifespan of Guild Wars 2. You’re over-thinking the example. A lot.

So you would basically be happy with a few releases (lets say one per year for three years) and then never have any new release again?

History indicates that an expansion will satisfy players. 2 classes, 1 new continent, and a few hundred new skills. ANet used to churn those out yearly, but for whatever reason they decided to do a Living Story instead.

Except that people complained like mad back then as well.

People always talk about those hundreds of new skills but forgets the fact that many of them were either complete copies of already existing skills or were simply not used.

They also managed to do it twice after that they released another somewhat large update and a bunch of smaller ones, but other than that nothing.

Would you have preferred if they had stopped updating the game by now if they had added big bunch of contents yearly for two years?

After that there was Eye of the North and the bonus missions. And yeah, I wouldn’t mind it. If they had done that, there would be more content than they’ll ever produce at this rate. That’s like asking would you like to have an entire turkey for breakfast, or one slice of bread for every meal. I’ll take the turkey, possibly throw up in the bathroom, but not be hungry for the rest of the day.

@Carighan The problem is they aren’t releasing 1 zone every X months, A skills every B weeks, etc. We got 9(?) new skills, three new zones, and FotM over 2 years. In that time Guild Wars released 2 new continents, dozens of missions, and hundreds of skills. If ANet were splitting it up and putting it out on a regular basis so that it adds up to that, it would work great. Unfortunately they are not. Living Story works great on paper, but terrible in practice.
