Guild Wars 2

They will lose ability to recolor weapon sets and call them “New rewards”.

Pockets.3201:

It doesn’t take 11 hours to say “Oops, sorry guys. Just hang on and we’ll fix that for you soon.”

At anet it can take up to 1 year or even more to type that. “We are not sure if this is a bug” is more likely to appear if change was not intended.

dlonie.6547:

- Zergable, open-world “raids” on a static timer.
- No party control/kicking, just ‘luck of the draw’ RNG based on who’s in your map instance.
- kitten support and maintenance support for the first few months after HoT launch, shortly followed by complete abandonment and neglect.
- Nonsensical reward structures that are disproportionate to the contents’ difficulty levels.
- Complete lack of community involvement in shaping the iterations of the content (if iterations even occur).

Wait, was the question what we want to see, or what we expect?

You’re more optimistic than I am.

After almost 8 months of build up it better be good.

Aleth.9630:

• It’s awfully designed with the random aggro from Horrik. Yes, strong teamwork should be encouraged, but when soloing a boss feels much better than doing it with 4 random non-terrible players, something is wrong. The complete lack of controllable aggro is a huge oversight for this fight.

Both mai trin and horriks electroshot are actually super likely to aggro high defense characters. Put some toughness on your guard or war and theyll stick to you like glue.

That worked like a year ago at least

My full berserker ele is probably secretly wearing nomad then.

Well at least this outfit has good dye channels.

NetherDiver.6079:

They will add more in time.

This is full priced expansion not some season pass. “More sometime in the future” is not OK for an expansion.

So I take it you buy a WoW expansion and complain that they haven’t added all the Raids in one go as well?

I don’t buy kitten stuff. “WoW did it too” is one of the worst excuses ever.

Looks at the outfit and at the name

“Wedding outfit”

Lobo Dela Noche.5127:

This would make some non-dps builds more viable, while dps builds will still be kings at what they currently do.

This would make anything vitality based extremely op. Might as well merge power and precision.

Mojo Gris Gris.5941:

What in the actual kitten?
It always seemed like a rip off with the 2 to 1 exchange, but this is just plain kitten. When did this even happen?

Few minutes ago with gemstore update. Could be a bug. Hard to tell with this game.

In fractal blogpost you heard about fractal backpiece.

Nope. It just goes on cd.

GuzziHero.2467:

I’m trying to play the instance that comes with the new beta weekend but the mordrem menders are impossible to kill. I can’t even get one to half health before it suddenly reheals itself to near max hp.

Try dps gear. They die pretty fast.

Aetrion.8295:

Nobody is asking for trinity, people just want other things than maximum damage to have a place in the game too.

Coulter.2315:

But then they aren’t “healing” they are just a buff bot which kinda defeats the purpose because you aren’t giving people who enjoy healing a job (because they aren’t healing – they are just seeing green numbers instead of red). Healers like feeling like they saved someone or are critical to keeping the group up, your method of making it viable is based around them not needing to heal but just giving buffs.

Bad news for everyone enjoying healing role. They are playing wrong game.

Xstein.2187:

Sometimes I think you shouldn’t even be allowed to take two of the same class into a dungeon. Of course lfg would take longer and people would cry. However, I think that would clear some things up. I think this would also motivate people to play some of the less played classes in pve. Its all relative anyway. People would complain if this mechanic was added now. However, if it was added before the game game out, I don’t think people would care as much and you would see a lot more variety in dungeons today.

Note: This does not mean that all classes are balanced in pve events like dungeons. I believe Anet should work on making classes more balanced in pve and produce a no more than one class rule.

Going from 1 war, 1 thief , 1 guard/mesmer, 2 eles to 1 war, 1 thief, 1 guard/mesmer, 1 ele, 1 engi not gonna help necro and ranger.

Same reason why people are so hyped about wings I guess.

I have no idea.

ProtoGunner.4953:

So what’s the big deal with this extremely underwhelming lvl1 armor looking armor skin anyway?

Probably because they ask 10$/10€ for it and when turns out is has horrible clipping they just make it worse and move on to the next one. Not the first time it happened. And probably not the last because “what’s the big deal”.

Pic of Bugs Bunny. Because why not.

perry.9645:

i think this clearly shows the level of gm activity on EU, also wtf is a OS ele xD

I would like to know wtf is os guardian and os lupi lol.

Draknar.5748:

Dovienya.6597:

I got my fractal frequenter and several backpacks thousands of fractal runs ago and thus far I’ve gotten the staff six times, two hammers, the torch, focus, and dagger…

but NO SWORD!

I agree that getting the reward the way it is now feels SO GOOD when it does happen, but dang it I want my sword!

Exactly my point! So the guy who gets a fractal sword in 25 runs is somehow more prestigious according to OP? Poppykitten!

Didn’t they say that you could only buy the fractal skins with relics once you’ve cleared fotm50? If they didn’t, that would be a good minimum, that way you can’t just run a bunch of 1-20s to get skins.

Well any fractal skin is more “prestigious” than all current legendaries combined. Even TA aetherpath skins are more “prestigious”.

You forgot one image.

See actual evidence that huge company is spying on people? Post a tinfoil hat pic!

I want it to crash-land on LA.

Mightybird.6034:

Like diving off of drytop JP and hitting that stupid small water area. Is it difficult – yes. Should it be rewarded? Um no.

Um yes. JP and diving is legit part of activities in open world.

Shadelang.3012:

They wanted to get rid of MANDATORY healers and tanks.

You can’t have not mandatory healers and tanks. You need them or they are dps loss. Maybe anet can make them to work as training wheel but that’s just dumb.

You can buy it day before release. You will only miss beta weekends and you still will get all pre-purchase bonuses. Plus you will have all necessary info to decide if you like HoT or not.
I don’t think we will have better official price for at least 4-6 months after release. Unless it will flop of course.

notebene.3190:

I liked hearts. Which is why they got rid of them.

#15morecharacters

I hope you like silverwastes and dry top too.

Combat system and cooperative open world. Thats about it.

UBcktieDL.5318:

Engi can bring everything, might, vulnerability, very high dps and even stealth. Could easily replace ele or thief. Even metabattle lists them as alternative for higher dps to a second ele.
Mesmer can replace any guard with his reflects, null field, portal and time warp. Why are these still unpopular?

This will only work in record run or in an organized group that does not mind to sacrifice some things to play with Mesmer or Engi. “exp metazerk” is exactly opposite of that.

Oh no! Devs want players to finally get gud and start doing “endgame”.

I would recommend to wait till Microsoft removes their keyloggers and other nasty stuff or at least adds normal and convenient way to remove them from control panel.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

There probably won’t ever be:

• It’s a quality of life issue for spammers and gold sellers, too.

1. Read OP post.
2. Read what you have typed.
3. Repeat till it sinks in.

Fractals ARE pve.

Arantheal.7396:

On the long run, this will also allow Necromancers & Rangers easier access to Fractals, since both are lacking in group-support (welp, spotter is still kinda nice), but come with powerful condi-builds, hence get better dps than guards, warris & eles against high values of toughness.

Ummm no. Necro is not that good at condi as people think.

“What form do you think they should take?” – “Be in the game” form.
“What form do you think they will take?” – “Datamined but not activated for 2 years” form.

I hope they will explain it in detail during the stream. Explanation in the blog post is just horribad.

So this just happened.

SMAA finally gets added, and it turns out it’s not in this build due to a bug, not listed under the antialiasing menu ;_;

Love the new light adaptation and ambient occlusion implementations though

What do you need to do to enable light adaptation? It is grayed out for me.

Enable post processing first.

Thanks. That was the problem. I hate post processing so I even forgot that it exists.

I just logged in after the update and ticked it, make sure all the usual suspects are ruled out though, latest graphics drivers, verify your GW2 install etc.

Belzebu.3912:

Usually it grays out when your GPU doesn’t support it.

That too, what’s your GPU?

r9 270. 15.7 drivers.

Anet released waaaaay more broken patches in the past and I don’t think they have ever rolled anything back.

Blizzard, google, ea, steam, anet, rockstar, zenimax and many more have my phone number for years. All i get from them is verification codes and warnings about suspicious logins. SMS protection is a thing for many years already.

• Fixed thread crash

Draknar.5748:

Out of sheer curiosity, how does anyone even know that you have a survivability stat? I’ve played this game since early release and have run well over 1000 dungeon runs and have never once been asked to ping my gear. And of those 1000 runs, I’ve maybe done 100 in zerker gear, the rest have been in either celestial or gasp PVT, and have had no problem getting groups for dungeons or even FoTM50.

Experienced players can spot that very fast during the first boss. There are just not many experienced players in LFG. And even if you run into a premade not that many will care what you are running unless you fail to do your job.

1. There is no dedicated roles. This is how game works and how it was advertised.
2. “One singular rigid pattern” is what you get when devs abandon entire game mode for 2 years. You probably have not seen strict “1 build” meta before because Anet did it first on this scale.

Try adding this to your shortcut.
“x:\blah\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -maploadinfo

You will see map loading percentage. If it stays at 0% or is going up really slowly you can just Alt + F4 out of the game and reload back in. I have this bug sometimes and restarting the game seems to fix it.

You should add in something saying they should have read the LFG, too.

“Lfg blah blah 2+2*2=?”
