I am taking my breather during the SAB content addition. It’s not that I dislike SAB, but the major reason I did it before was for obi shards and not so much total enjoyment of the content. The ascended weapons/crafting to 500 has left me disappointed and disheartened. My guild left en masse over a couple of the issues on the latest patches.
I log in to do the dailies and kind of wander around. I do a scarlet invasion if one pops up. Or I log into a little alt to level and not worry about all the high level gear I won’t be getting for my mains.
I wouldn’t call it burned out yet. I would say it’s just a loss. I’m a little too low on time, a little too low on mats, a little too low on gold, a little too low on guildies.
The game has changed and my playstyle is not really supported any longer. (Multiple main characters, changing builds/gear to refresh the older characters, getting max stat quickly as possible and then work on cosmetics slowly)
I don’t want to give up or give in just yet. I have accepted it and am going forward. It just feels like such a slog compared to the wonder and enjoyment it once was.
I never thought I would agree with you on anything but I feel pretty much the same even if the particulars differ
The game has changed, some of it has been for the better but the focus of the game seems to me to be worse.
I have been called a fanboy and white knight so many times on these forums but this last patch just knocked the stuffing out of me.
I have lost all desire to log in.
I can do all the things I have been doing- my question is why?
I can see that the game will eventually not support my play style anymore.
I didn’t even buy the permanent tools for my other main that I have been waiting for, simply because I couldn’t justify buying gems- that is a first for me.
I would love to hear some reasons- honest ones , not press.
wow that coming from you its like the apocalypse is coming or what.

Phantasms do better in longer sustained fights. Shatter does better on trash and burst. I like 10/30/0/0/30 as you can change traits around to bolster one or the other. If your group gives you a few seconds to retrait before bosses this build is quite versatile. I like to run Sword/Pistol, Sword/Sword and Staff with this depending on the situation. iLock targeting something with a pile of conditions can do some serious damage over a longer fight.

for once someone made sense on this forum section when talking about pve build, thank you.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
The small buff i’d like to see on mesmer is Illusionary Retribution to inflict 5sec of confusion instead of 3. If you look at confusion duration skills on all classes/runes its always 5sec or more. Why are we the class that is supposed to be the master of confusion inflict it for almost 50% less duration? This needs to be done at least in pve and spvp (i exclude wvw because with food buffs its acceptable as is). Confusion is far from op in spvp and this could be a great mini buff to mesmers.

I am hoping we get some build variety soon…
Don’t get your hopes up. we had almost 13 months and not even a single skill was added to the game nor did they even mentioned of doing anything with their poor trait trees.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Yes, everyone would be picking up the best traits but where is the problem in that? Right now you ‘may’ be forced to take stuff that isn’t very good or not needed because there’s nothing else you want in that tree. If we had free allocation of traits, we would be taking EXACTLY what you need/want and those traits no one uses could get an overhaul from devs because, well, they’re useless. I really don’t understand how could anyone deny this… its not like im asking this to be done for myself but everyone in the game. Build variety per class is below pathetic level when compared to gw1, just sayin.
Free trait allocation was possible in early beta, and it was unbalanced as kitten.
Imagine if you could take, on an elementalist, fresh air as a 10 point trait, or evasive arcana, or whatever.
Or dhuumfire for a necro
Or illusionary persona on mesmer
Or empathic bond on ranger
And the list could go on.
No is one asking to be able to slot t3 traits in t1 slots which is how it was in beta…..
We’re asking to be able to slot ANYt3 traits in ANY t3 slot and vice versa for everything else.
Then it just becomes the stats you want when picking a trait tree.
exactly this.

What is the point of these? Anet doesn’t care because insanely overpriced items such as ascended/legendary (that are 100% craftable and not acquired by doing endgame content) incites people to spend real dollars on gems. So you like it or not, you’ll only be getting some more of it in the months/years to come.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
You know the game has no endgame when devs and fanboys tell others that endgame is everything in the game. Is standing in LA bored because there’s nothing to do endgame? Is walking from crating stations to TP endgame? Is WP across the map and talk to 73 npcs per LS quest endgame? Is crafting whatever you want some kind of rewarding endgame? Is exploring an empty world doing the most repetitive heart quests seen in a video game endgame? Or is the endgame so weak that some consider doing achievements that are added by metric tones every patch an endgame? GW2 has as much end game content as casual solo rpg’s such as Mass Effect 3. Everything is end game my %$#…
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Its funny when people talk about hard content and bring agony as one of the reasons. You do know that agony is just a gimmick anet added to slow everyone down in fotm? Ask yourself, why do we even have this crap? Why is it needed when bosses/ads deal their own damage as it is (which gets insanely high in high level fractals). Why do we have ascended gear? Most people would answer with ‘because people want progression’. But this is Guild Wars… progression is skins and skins only. If this game had anything for you to do in pve such as hunt skins (not talking about creating everything in a mystic toilet/crafting stations) in difficult ‘places’, why would anyone ask for gear progression? You had stuff to do and that’s finding cooler looking armors or whatever. But since there’s nothing else but an empty world with zergs in few zones, well, anet decided to give use stupid ascended gear as progression instead of new dungeons/hard mode+the skins that would be dropping in these simply because its waaay easier to design 1 skin per weapon kind than add multiple dungeons for people to enjoy and hunt stuff in them, just like in gw1. With every couple of patches gw2 is getting closer and closer at becoming generic Korean mmo #25932 and at this point i don’t even feel bad about it. Nothing will change and the reason im saying this is what i saw happening in the passed year. Anet doesn’t listen to their players but monetize their game like Activison does with CoD DLC’s.

People are entitled to their own opinions, this is the internet after all, of which we fought off several censorship bills to keep our freedom of speech.
If people wish to be negative, positive, criticize or complain then that is their opinion.

On this forum you’re not entitled to your opinion unless your opinion is “Devs, i just wanted to tell you, gw2 is the best game i have ever played in my life”.

this is not the champ fault but the fact that EVERYTHING in this game is nerfed and there’s nothing farmable. You cannot have an mmo without farming spots because you know for a fact tones of people enjoy farming. If there was other places worth farming, champ zergs wouldn’t even be half as big as they’re but since there’s absolutely nothing in this game but this, everyone is doing it.

I would do a lot of stuff for gw2 to look half decent. Imagine if it running with Frostbite 3 (look at DA: Inquisition gameplay) looks amazing and has more destruction than 2 breakable boxes… This will never happen tho.

They are totally starting to make more content for players that want harder skill based content. Back to back months have seen additions in this way.
No game company has ever released content in this fashion before. They need to learn how to do it as they go. I don’t think a lot of people appreciate how hard it is to release something that is playable and at the same time they are still learning from it. Give it time. If you feel it’s not for you, come back in 3-6 months as they get better at it and they will.
and these are rewarding for you? Okay. If a lev48 fotm isn’t rewarding, i don’t see how could a lev30 be.

Why can’t they give us instanced boss fights? No 10fps fights, no skill lag, you chose your group up to 10 people and so on. Why do they always drop their garbage and are like “here, enjoy your gameplay in 15fps”… Would’ve preferred Teq (and all other major bosses) to be instanced done with 10 people instead. I wish anet looked at FF14 and learned from them how to create fun and rewarding instanced end game boss battles.
Lupi is essentially exactly what i want every boss to be in gw2 but instead…… you know what we have.

More crafting? Do these devs ever get another ideas of acquiring items? What about adding hard mode to current dungeons, collect relics (that aren’t tradable) and combine them to build a precursor? I don’t want to craft more of your kitten! All they do is release items that you craft, so what’s the point of even going outside LA… i swear these people—-
Are you ware that crafting requires materials gathered from around the game’s world and zones? That you cannot obtain those things in LA unless you purchase from the trading post (although account bound ones you cannot). But another thing to note is that in order to purchase you’ll need to obtain gold, once again requiring to leave LA in order to obtain.
Your ranting argument is baseless and more or less that you don’t like crafting. Well,….I’m sorry, but that’s how it’s going to be. Either take that, or the other two options are to go and find one from a chest in the game’s world (.5% chance?) and/or purchase from another lucky player in the game for 100’s of gold.
you can buy them on something called TP, just like 99.999% of other things in the game. And don’t even tell me its costly because if you’re going for legendary you probably have enough money, plus the over nerfed world is so nerfed that buying from TP is what you’ll do anyway. If the precursor was created with relics and there was no way to buy these relics, only then it would feel like you had a goal. It could be much more than just collecting relics in hard mode tho, relics would be one step of the three or five needed. Do anything but make me craft even more
Some of what you’ve said seems to contradict other comments you’ve made on Ascended crafting.
T7 mats are account bound, and you have different sources for them, thus there is a solid “goal” involved with getting one of those weapons. I believe it should be the same for the legendary weapons.
As for precursors, Anet’s been a whole lot of talk about scavenger hunts and crafting, but no action. I’ll believe it when I see it.
If I had to come up with 500g worth of mats that could be found or harvested in world, I’d do that in a heartbeat over paying someone an exorbitant price for a precursor.
What I want most is a reasonable path to a guaranteed result. Not slot machine gambling with the mystic toilet or drops in world, and not “solo Teq 5 times without dying” either.
Personally I think that if Anet is going to make a set path to obtaining a precursor, that path should involve T7 mats, but not be more difficult than it currently is to get a legendary. Sadly, it will likely end up being ridiculously difficult, because Anet makes more money off the TP transactions if more people just give up and purchase. Anything to drive the people to pull out their wallet.
The main problem i have with these T7 mats is the fact that they’re forcing me to do things i hate such as jumping puzzles and braindead dragons. That plus seeing 24h countdown after crafting only one mat is just~~~~~ Now if a new dungeon was added and every single T7 mat (excluding those that need to be refined like the ones with a countdown) i would be very happy and enjoy farming the dungeon with a goal instead of pressing Space 10 000 times per jumping puzzle. Anet doesn’t give us enough way to acquire stuff and looks like after a year they haven’t learned anything.
