Guild Wars 2

I’m running with zero magic find and have had four vials and a glob drop for me in around 40 runs.

How about they give us a real means to obtain one? The whole process is a legendary gamble. Lmao, how epic.

It’s a top tier trait. That’s a 30p investment. It’s not OP.

I’m pretty sure that if this game is skill based, a single player should have no issue stomping two players that are sufficiently less skilled. I’m not OP just because two other guys suck.

I’m OP because of portal. /sarcasm

Yeah, a few days ago I tossed 100g worth of lv 80 exotic staves into the forge. Three times I got the exact same staff back. I got no named exotics. Just the generic craftable ones. Meanwhile some guy tosses one set of rares and gets lucky.

It completely disregards work investment. How is this good game design? Answer – It’s not. It’s just a sink on exotics/rares disguised as a legendary quest.

I wasted 100g in the forge trying to get The Legend. It’s a process I won’t soon forget and one that I’ve told all my friends about.

Legendary

Your post sums up everything that is wrong with SPvP and why everyone is fleeing it in droves.

If you enjoy ganking, WvW is a great place to do it. Get five or six of your least skilled buddies together and go around killing people. Dance over their bodies for added effect.

Isn’t WvW great!

That gold pretty much was all I had saved since the start of the game. However, I suppose you could make 5g a day easy by running all routes of AC and the first two of CoF. So that would only take 20 days. God, this is such an epic legendary quest.

As I said in another thread, I just dumped 100g into the forge and got nothing but craftable exotics back. I used only lv 80 exotic staves in my attempts. The developers should be ashamed that they added this mechanic into the game. I’m going to be taking a break, and I’m not sure I’m going to come back.

I just blew 100g in the forge tonight trying for The Legend. kitten this game.

And three months later nothing has changed. Why should it? They’re making bank off this stuff.

I always get the impression that people seem to think mes is easy mode. Not sure why they’d think that. But they do normally say such things while laying on the ground….

Warrior needs no buffs in this department. War is fine as it is. It’s the basis for which Anet crafts all it’s classes anyway, right?

Xavi.6591:

I don’t want to play a pet class. Mesmer is not a pet class. Shatters are the basis of the class. Sorry, your ideas are terrible.

Lol, what this guy said. But I though this thread was dead, who necro’ed it?

Lol, no worries. I was surprised it was so simple myself.

@hharry -Between TC and you, you look like the whiner.

I know that the removal of downed state would wreck a lot of newbies strategies for WvW. “Huddle together and mass res” shouldn’t be a viable strategy ever. It will ruin their current approach, but it will also cause them to get better out of necessity.

The problem is, the game doesn’t reward high skill level play. It deters it. It says, “just stick with the group and spam skills. Here, have a badge. You’re so pro.”

Solo kills should be encouraged. Small group play should be incentivised. Every change possible should be made to bring zergs to their knees.

I think this is the item.

Did they call you a poopy head too?

It’s an item from PvE. You use it it gives you a skill that does that. There are many others. Like the one that distributes explosive golems. A hobbits? What is a hobbits? BOOOM!

Great example TC, the downed state and in combat res have no place in WvW. It’s just a means by which to enable the weak and unskilled to hide together in a group. It’s why zergs are so prevalent.

But that’s the kind of game Anet seems to want. A zergy, low skill level environment. I feel sorry for the zerglets whenever roamers decide to band together…

I too have had issues piking people. It’s like the channel just stops over and over. Similar to how you sometimes can’t revive people when they’re downed. You char starts the animation, then it just stops.

First of all, you can solo some fractals, but can’t prevent the non soloable ones (Dredge or Swamp for example) from popping up at the end.

Truly, we should get gold for avoiding fights and playing merrygoround with folks for glory.

Some people won’t be satisfied until mes is gone. We all just have to live with those people.

There is exactly no reason to assume we’re “playing with a fair die” in this game. The fact that the level of the weapons tossed effect your chance of a precursor suggests you are not.

Anyone that thinks this game is going to come close to being an esport is fooling themselves. There are no athletes in this game. It’s all about gimmicks, zerging, and merry-go-rounding.

Needs more build diversity, more formats, more players, and a focus on PvP not running around in a circle.

Another mesmer complaint thread, thought we were past this.

Buy/Make a full set of rares. (not berserker, you’re new) and start dungeon diving. Get a full set of exotics.

I recommend starting with CoF or AC. They’re the easiest by far.

It takes so much thinking to carry a ton of different tools for each node. >.<
This doesn’t dumb anything down. However, it might make me less likely to skip all nodes lower than mithril and elder wood. I just use an ori tool for everything food node related.

Welcome to WvW. It’s just how it is.

There are issues with fractals that make people disconnect more often, TC. Try to recall that.

Well, it’s a starting boss. You can’t just stand there and auto-attack high level stuff.

It’s very annoying. Look at PvP, there’s no solo format at all. In PvE, there’s no way to make cash solo beyond farming or TP flipping. Farming isn’t really practical and TP flipping isn’t really playing. :P

I imagine, most downed state supporters in this thread aren’t roamers. It’s so funny. This mechanic is clearly designed to babysit weak players. Downed should be removed. It’s a crutch. Then maybe all these PvE players might learn to play better. I can manage downed state as it is, but I’ve lost fights because of it. Fights I would have won if downed state weren’t in the game.

Just take solace in the fact that they should be dead and you should have won. PvP in this game is far to forgiving. WvW especially, it’s the hideout of noobs and bads.

I mean, if you’re solo roaming I’m sure you’ve noticed that most everyone runs away from a fair fight. They don’t have it in them to win.

Your experience is not necessarily typical. I’m sure you know that.

DR is used to extend the “gameplay experience” under the guise of deterring bots.

You aren’t injured and you don’t need crutches. Learn to play. No need to enable bad players.

They might still be learning, but in the mean time they could kill our class in a single swoop if they removed the AoE from MW. Judging from their past performance, it could happen.

So you want add ons that act as a crutch? Make it easier for you to manage your cooldowns?

Really?

Because portal. But that’s going to change soon, so maybe they’ll give us back some of our cool beta skills.

That video was a wonderful example of bad game design.

Everything in the game makes perfect sense. Anyone that knew the lore and background of the Asura and the Charr would realize that their tech is perfectly in line with what is to be expected.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it the general view. I, personally, love the asuran tech. I only play humans, but I wish I could have a lab in Rata Sum.

Runcore.5107:

I just want for thieves some compensation and I dont care if this compensation will be portal or something else but Necromancers, Rangers and Elementalists have our +25% speed signets so I want something from them in return for our original signet and this portal is nice candidate for give to thieves as compensation for our stolen speed signet. They have something which belong to thief so thief want something what belong to other clasess. Its so easy. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.

I dont know on which dream cloud you live now but we live on world of trade which mean I give you something and you give me something in return. Developers still owe something to thieves for steal their original signet and giving it to other classes.

Because heaven knows thieves are in great need of recompense. You guys are suffering so much.

I certainly hope so, downed state makes the game easier for newbies and bads.

I’m pretty sure collusion is an agent against a free market. That’s what the TC is accusing them of. Price fixing by controlling the supply.

At 80, when you’re stomping people in WvW.

I use Mantra of Resolve. Null field keeps me confined too much to be useful.

I really do find it very unlikely that this is happening. I don’t see Anet allowing it to go on if it were. Wouldn’t that violate their free market philosophy?

A well played necro can be quite dangerous. Unholy Feast alone makes a axe necro very annoying to fight.

And I don’t think that calling a buddy is a good tactic. People tend to use groups as a crutch. Best to learn to hold your own.
