They are used like vuvuzela.
Didn’t those things eventually get banned from the last World Cup because they were so annoying? I remember peeps telling me about them and thought, it can’t be that bad. Then when I started watching the World Cup games the first thing I hear is “HHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!” and it lasted for the duration of the entire match

Time together with GW1 and my Guild. It almost feels like I haven’t divorced it yet for the sake of the children

The left side of that thing looks like a keyboards puddle of vomit
I wanted to try Mesmer/Ele but I can’t for the life of me press Blink, Decoy etc. in the time I need them. I have to either try to click, which means I lose control of the camera or I have to stop moving, look at the keyboard and use my left hand to press the button.
I think you just need practice with any profession. I’m a clicker because I have my movement keys as the arrows, right ctrl is dodge etc. so pressing 1-0 is a pain since I don’t have 10 inch long fingers 
Ray of Judgement
Jesus Beam lol I miss things like that
Are there any funny names for GW2 skills?
No exotic drops for me either SpyderArachnid.5619 but that said I still haven’t had a Legendary drop in Torchlight 2

locoman I’m kinda glad about the lack of last logged in. I took a few months off and came back and was still in my Guild, yay!
In GW1 they would have prolly booted me for inactivity
I seen Vayne’s postings in the other GW2 forum that isn’t GW2 Guru. I think the guy just loves the game. A little too much if you ask me but hell I’m that way with zombie films
Spiteful Spirit, Arcane Echo, Insidious Parasite. Desecrate/Defile Enchantments (I used to love casting these on Dervish monsters)

Vayne it was different for me, I loved doing the dungeons and always felt rewarded. Especially when it was the daily, even when I got a green drop ( worth 1k) from the chest my heart beat a little faster and the one and only time I got a froggy sceptre in Bogroots I almost had a heart attack. Sadly it was crappy stats but still had fun selling in Spamadan.
But realistically how often did you get a green drop that was worth 1k. Surely you remember doing dungeons and just getting a gold drop that was worth crap. For every ten dunegons you did, maybe you go one decent drop. That was it.
In later days, once the HoM calculator was out, at least the onyx and diamonds were worth something but most of the yellow drops and even most of the green drops become worthless. There were so many green drops you had to merch because no one wanted them. Cyndr’s Heart anyone?
Thing is I enjoyed doing them, when it was the daily double win. I’d help someone who hadn’t done it with my heroes or if there was Rraggars (spellcheck) with Guild/Alliance I’d go. I don’t feel that in this game.
In GW I could slowly save up for skins etc. if I tried that with a legendary or some weapons on the TP, I’d be here till doomsday and with nothing fun like pugging being an option, what to do.
At the 10 month mark in Guild Wars 1, something like Obby armor was almost completely out of everyone’s reach. In two, three years time, the times you’re talking about, the whole situation will be different.
In vanilla Prophecies, money was very hard to come by.
I never played the vanilla (first game was GW/EotN thing), I was too busy being a sucker on games like Flyff at the time
This is my usual point. People are comparing this game to Guild Wars 1 after Guild Wars 1 had three games and an expansion. As MMOs age everything becomes easier to get, and there’s more stuff to get.
I think the reason things are harder to get early on is because that replaces content that can’t exist because there’s not enough time for it TO exist. So the company makes it harder to get things and some people don’t like that. Maybe those people will leave the game.
But I’d be happy to wager that more people will leave a game after they get everything they want than those people who have stuff to work towards.
This isn’t GW1 so people should stop expecting it to be.
Yeah, sorry my bad. After almost religiously getting my 50/50, you are probably right (zero sarcasm)
I didn’t mean that in a nasty way. I have gathered from many GW1 players that post here and elsewhere that the first game is far better. Not only is GW2 a different game but it seems Anet is a completely different company and not for the better.
I never took it as a nasty reply
In my humblies GW was more fun to me, but have gotten my moneys worth from GW2 it just lacks the longevity that GW1 offered.

For me the obtainable becomes the impossible though. I got all I wanted in GW’s and the game should have the learned from the first game in total of the whole experience. In GW2 it’s just too many hoops for me, I still play the game with alt’s but feel excluded from many things I could achieve in the first game by comparison, if that makes sense.
But you didn’t play the game at 10 months. You don’t know how far out of reach that stuff would have seen had you played then. There’s a lot of stuff when I started playing Guild Wars 1 that I felt were completely out of reach…but eventually they weren’t.
If you hang around or come back later, the same situation will exist here. Nothing I said is changed by what you said.
I get what you’re saying (I think), but we can’t disregard the learning curve of the actual game and rewards. Did GW change for the worse (excluding shadow form or Ursan) or were the drop rates ever so brutally nerfed that people left because of them? The granted chests for world events seem to say that people felt unrewarded.

Sorry I can’t edit my post atm. My apologies I just skim read your post and seen Skyrim
Yes it’s empty. Almost everyone stopped playing because there is no end game. Really, if you hit 80, there is no challange anywhere in the game (PVE). The only people left, are casual people or people who like to level up characters (cus the leveling is superior compared to other mmo’s). GW2 has a big audiance, i just hope they know that if they fix the game, ALOT of people will come back. Yes i said ‘fix’, cus the amount of people that left is broken
No, not almost everyone stopped playing. Maybe almost everyone of a certain mindset stopped playing. The problem is, you make the assumption that most people want end game and, arguably, many do not.
Those who play for end game may very well have left. But that isn’t close to almost everyone. If end game was all important, games like Skyrim wouldn’t have been successful.
My Guild is flourishing when I logged in after a lot of time off. I don’t think it’s fair to compare this game to Skyrim though, Skyrim has tons of mods to add that endgame feeling and more because of said mods, harder dragons etc. etc. In this game we’re pretty much stuck with what we get given.
Christ if you want to in Skyrim you can take down Randy Savage headed dragons with a lightsaber
lol
