Guild Wars 2

Oh man you sure changed my mind. 10/10 > Fallout4 thank you based Anet Gods.

I will be immersed, in a few weeks when Fallout 4 comes out.

Dear Lucas, ignore feed backs on Jar Jar

All things in Phantom Menace were fine.

Man now you guys are just reaching too hard.

I actually think it looks best on Charr, and he looks like a scary monster thing reaper is supposed to be with it on.

Why are the handful of people defending HoT all also throwing out insults?

Well other games have had patches with a similar amount of content for free.

vermintide no doubt

Will the good looking halloween stuff always be this hard to make? I like on the first halloween we got really cool looking stuff just from random bags (the skeleton shoulders, chain sword, skull shields, etc.)

Glad I didn’t buy it yet. I’ll wait for it to be $10-20 or something (appropriate price).

So you admit they are using terribly dated design choices?

The OP sounds like one of George Lucas’ yes men.

This game feels like a Korean F2P at the moment…

grind grind grind for weeks just to unlock a class you want to play.

I was looking in the ward-drobe bank, and is it true that none of the new HoT sets have actual pants!?

My Male Charr looks silly in all these skirts and tutus. I have to wear the same pear of jeans (Ascalonian Performer Pants) for years now! I was hoping I would get to replace them but the new armor sets just give me more skirts!

My Charr is NOT A CROSS DRESSER!

DPS Meter = No one will ever invite a Necro.

I’m fine with this. The problem is how lame and boring getting Ascended gear is.

Any possibilities of a “decent” drop chance from you know….actually killing Monsters and them dropping gear? Novel concept right?

Or is it just going to be farm farm farm gold like an Asian MMO?

Corner stackers got rekt.

We’re moving from corner stacking to face-tank stacking. Who do you think got rekt?

The people who only wanted to see characters butts when the camera is stuck in a corner.

Corner stackers got rekt.

Not worth the price. Seems like a content patch of other MMOs, but they are charging $50. Maybe $20 dlc at best.

I’m glad this armor set will be available in HoT.

Knighthonor.4061:

Corner stacking is better than all pve in every single trinity pve content….

Disagreed. At least get to move around to do stuff while using rotations with multiple key presses, as opposed to looking at my team’s zoomed in butts while spamming 1 key.

But that isn’t lack of trinity’s fault, they just made the dungeons and AI poorly. Non trinity can work if they fix the AI and instance maps. Hopefully raids aren’t in line with the GW2’s current PVE which is by far the easiest and most mind numbing in the market, even compared to small budget games. Compared to AAA current gen MMOs, it’s even worse of a joke.

lol republicans.

Lily.1935:

the necromancer has outstanding sustainability now and can hit extremely hard with sustained damage. Other professions have much higher burst damage than we do, like elementalist and warrior, but their sustainability is no where near as high. As fights last longer the necromancer has an advantage in that regard since our life force generation has actually improved greatly over the years letting us quickly build our bar back up. This means we can stay in the fight much longer. We’re also very self sufficient as compared to other professions. We can stack 25 might without the use of foods are relying on ally buffs. We can also dish out 25 valn on our own meaning we literally don’t need anyone else with us in a fight.

Meanwhile in lfg “LF2M lvl40 Fractal No Necro/Ranger”

the necromancer will have a solid spot on a team.

Beta people said this before release of Vanilla too.

MirrorOfNature.4279:

OP, if by having fun you understand running around the dungeon like a headless chicken and dying all the time, then no. Been there with some randoms, never again. Stacking is there, because there’s a reason to be there. This is how the game mechanics works. Boon sharing and condition removal is team play and if you think you help your team a lot by running in circle and spamming 1 skill thats your own short going and honestly I dont want to have any of your “fun”. Now to be honest, none of the dungeons are that much challenging to begin with, but please try to do high level fractals without any stacking to see how long you will run them. Nothing personal, but I rather dont want to waste hours on something that can be done fast and effiently with people understanding how the game works.

Also if my memory serves right, where fractals are considered, my guild team never stacks on the actual boss fights. Exeption is Mai Trin. There’s a bit of stacking along the way, but honestly if there isnt any, one high lvl fractals run will take 2-3 hours, instead of only 1 hour.

If all else fails, try to advertise your own party. Im sure you will find others with lots of free time on their hands.

Cheers!

I think he’s trying to say the game/dungeon design is flawed to the point where stacking is allowed and required, and he hopes raids do not have the same mindless and dull gameplay.

It was funny a decade ago, but more modern MMOs have long since stopped such garbage.

Yeah GW2’s PVE hasn’t really caught up with the times. I’ve played some recent F2P Korean MMO’s with better dungeons. The stacking/zerker stuff is really just blah.

Hopefully Raid Design is great.

Rewards and Drops are one of this games biggest issue, and then they make it worse. lol.

Trinity is better than whatever the hell it is that dungeons have now.

So I’m assuming don’t buy HoT if i wanna raid or Fractal 100 as a Necro?

Yes, make the mediocre PVP class (and drop dead bottom PVE class) even worse because a noob doesn’t know how to play. Sounds perfect.

Gnat.9405:

Chilling Victory gives might when you hit a chilled foe. If this was a party wide boon it would be great, because it would actually give a reason to chill things. Then again I am in a dungeon mentality so hopefully chill is meaningful in new content

Chill doesn’t work on definat bar mobs, which includes bosses, so lol

They had three years….what the hell.

You guys argue with so much ferocity as if GW2 wasn’t the easiest PVE on the MMO market….

Ok i see you most probably main one of the ele meta zerker or sinister meta engie and don’t want to empathize with the point of view of others if doesn’t fit yours..
Here you have a very enlighting video about what the community of players are screaming that is so really broken in this game with the nice touch of showing off the toxicity in dungeons/fractals so you may entertain yourself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2b7dpC0liQ

And as someone who runs Rangers and Necros in dungeons? ive never had those problems, now, it does happen from time to time i get an idiot join my party who didnt bother, or didnt care about what my LFG states. the only time ive been kicked from dungeons because of my class was back when pets were absolutely ruined and attacked everything.

Do you do 40/50 fractals?

I’m going to wait a few weeks to get HoT. If there is still “No Necro” for fractals and especially if we see it for Raids…yeah no thanks. Once was bad enough.

SNIEVES.3964:

Whats the herald?

Kumar’s best friend.

Ravezaar.4951:

Dont care at all about PvE and Hardcore PvE dosent exist in Gw2 so dont get some Eliteist ppl when there really nothing to brag about. pvE needs to be harder and chellenging imho for there to be hardcore Eliteist ppl in Gw2 PvE Forum.

Killing a Boss/NPC in Gw2 sadly has never about challenge just a matter of speed, and that isnt even the slighest hardcore.

Still I always enjoyed your Vidz Nemesis and I did enjoy this build aswell, keep them comming.

This. GW2 PVE is one of the easiest I’ve played, possibly THE easiest. Yet for some odd reason it has a more elitist PVE community than many of the actual difficult games combined….. What is going on?

Really,…… “LF2M, No Necro”? Oh no, your shoddy PUG run is going to take 1 minute longer! LFG is beyond terrible and toxic. The scrub “players” on it need to go play a game with PVE content that actually warrants this kind of behavior.

Jesus the PVE is a mess in this game.

Sorry OP, but i’ll take Soft Trinity over “LFM METAZERK No Necro or Ranger” any day of the month.

Also I remember threads like this when ranked spvp was announced. WoW didn’t invent everything.

the light armor looks terrible. All the light legs are tutus on males.

With enrage timers confirmed, I REALLY hope Reapers/Necro dmg is substantially buffed this next BWE…….or we’re going to see a repeat of the last few years of LFG “NO NECRO”.

I’m hoping HoT actually has big bad bosses with actual good drops, rather than extreme rng and grinding.

LFF: Looking for friends, META Raid only, PING Build+ Gear :P

WoW all over again, I didn’t miss it in fact it’s why I left. Completely unimpressed about the announcements this past weekend. Raiding which I didn’t think was necessary or needed c/w content gated legendary armor to boot. I can here the elitism crap flooding TeamSpeak and map chat already.

GW2 already has this in all of its instanced PVE content. Nearly every dungeon/fractal asks for metazerk.

You should have left years ago in this case.

And at least on of those Light legs better be pants and not a skirt on males.

It’s ironic how the anti-raiding community is proving to be more elitist than the actual raiders.

“YOU can’t have this mode because I don’t LIKE IT! ME ME ME!”

Hyper Cutter.9376:

I’m really impressed at how quickly toxic raider culture is sweeping the forums. Well, in a “horrible car accident” kind of way.

Most of the venom appears to be from the people who want this new content removed or are upset about it being introduced.

If neither of the new light armors have actual pants……

My charr is starting to look dumb wearing a tutu. there is like 1 pair of light pants in the game.

But you aren’t forced to do those, like spvp tournaments and high level fractals….which can get just as “teh elitist”.

Should those be removed for you guys also? What else should we take away.

I don’t get the issue. You can get full ascended from crafting + F-Key zerg spam likely much faster and easier than the Raid set, and it has the same stats.

What more do you want? Delete raids because you don’t like them? How about remove spvp and fractals too?

Thunderwitch.3672:

Raid will kill GW2, please stop it before it’s too late.

Just like how high level fractals killed the game?

In the presentation he said raids will not have a new loot tier.

In other words, the F-Key Warrior who farms chests with his eyes closed and crafts ascended will have the same level of stuff as the evil elitist Raider.

There is no reason to complain.
