Could you please make a list of things they are entitled to? It would be very useful.
Complete Access to the game I paid for. In case you missed this, I paid for this game, and the Expansion that went with it. Any Skill, Any Time Investment is nothing, compared to cold cash that keeps their lights on.
If Anet does not want to make content for it’s Paying players like me, or wants to cater some other group, then they can expect me to stop paying into this game, Hope you all pick up the slack.
But, yah, I am entitled to Full Access to the Gear, Content, and Aspects, in a way that I enjoy, and if that means I don’t want to deal with elitist jerks, then so be it.
if you thought your investment into this game meant anything, you’re wrong, your skill is pointless, your time spent is worthless, the only thing that matters is dead presidents, which is something I had been providing.
If they want me to keep providing, they better start to build stuff that makes me feel like a special kittening snowflake.
Because, remember this well, I don’t owe them, or you a kitten thing, I don’t care how much you love raids, if what they make is not making me happy, I am not going to support your game mode with my money. Keep that in mind the next time you’re swiping the credit card, make sure to buy a whole lot more to cover what I’m no longer buying.
You are trying to say that raiders did not pay for the expansion and have less rights than you?
And no. You are not entitled to any of that. All you are entitled to is technical support and access to gw2 servers. Turns out you are the only real entitled elitist in this thread.
Are you telling me that Matthias, the very first true White Mantle member in Guild Wars 2 or his dialogue during the fight does not tell part of the story?
It is a good thing that Raids exist in this game, it adds to the variety and now that fractals are getting certain attention and dungeons have improved as well as a game feature it is one of the best time for PvE players.
You mean instanced content players. For players that enjoy open world content the only new things added over the past six months have been the Leyline events, Bandit bounties, and Legendary moneypits, most of that over the last couple months.
Also the amount of story in the 3 wings are like 3 of the 16 HoT story missions and the 3 wing maps together are like 1/3 of a single HoT map. So the 3 wings are basically only ~15% of the HoT open world maps in terms of content.
And it’s also better than the whole of the HoT story! That is the point, not that its’ quantity is big but that its’ quality is superb and not everyone can experience it.
Ask someone to open you a finished instance. Done. You are experiencing raid story like all raiders. Or even better watch a youtube video from gw2 lore nerds and get a detailed recap of the story complete with explanations, theories and other stuff. Literally the only thing you will miss is a bit of gold and some loot from the raid bosses.
Do you really think that is the solution? To me that statement is as lazy as when the developers said it themselves, it is like telling someone to let you enter the end of the Arah story mode and talk to the NPCs to get the story of said dungeon.
Raid story is told through hidden notes, environment and npc dialogue. It does not work like arah.

Z X C V Y for f1-f5 and Q E R T Mouse 4 for heal, utilities and elite. ALT to toggle between normal/action camera and f1 as special action key for raids. Works fine with all classes.
I don’t like to reach for keys or use key combinations. Y is kinda far away but still doable.
Yeah thing is skilled teams can still spam retal and kill stuff quickly, the point is to coordinate boonstrips/corrupts on bosses so that you pretty much get rid of it the instant it appears. If that doesn’t happen for you it’s rather ridiculous to yourself “skilled”.
Or you can not take retal generators and kill stuff even quicker. Less headache and faster kills. Win/win.
Could be failing ram. Or Chrome like in my case lol. Every time I start playing youtube video or open new tab during or right after any loading screen in gw2 there is ~70% chance that game with crash with similar error. Happens on my laptop and pc. Memtest returns no errors on both. Every time this happens I can just drag error message off screen and continue playing for hours without problems.
Silent, my post has nothing to do with skill lags or fps drops.
It is a gamebreaking bug that affects EVERYBODY with a Windows 10 laptop and an Nvidia mobile gpu.
Looks like bug pops up only on laptops with Nvidia Optimus and only in fullscreen mode. I have gl552-vw and found out about infinite loading after I saw that thread and tried to reproduce it. I always play in windowed borderless.
EU runs it all the time. You have ~10 minutes window after the map reset to find a squad and join the active map. If you miss this window you will have to wait for 2 hours to try again.
I heard some moaning in DR few weeks ago. Like real porn tier moaning added to background sound channel. Shame that I can’t recall where exactly it was.
therandomguy has set up a non-rep guild for teaching players how to raid, they do clear content as well as help all that ask for it, below is a link to his thread he has stated how to contact him.
Sure there are. Legendary Precursors. You can either get them from Precursor Crafting, from Mystic Toileting, or from random drops. Or the TP for that matter. None require you to WvW or PvP.
Additionally please explain why having Raids, a mode which requires adequate teamwork and time investment is unhealthy for the game. I fail to see it mostly due to the fact that its the only content piece that has this which makes it a good fit, especially for people who are good at socializing and are good team players.
Because it’s out of place with the rest of the content, a square hole in a game full of round holes, and yet offers superior rewards than other modes
But fail some of the mechanics and the timer can be an issue, and working as hard as possible to keep up with the timer makes failing mechanics more likely, so the timer is not a non-issue as well.
Which means that if you spend ~20 minutes looking up the mechanics and guides and then get some practice (or just join one of the guilds where people teach this stuff) then timers are nonissue again.
I’m quite aware of what’s going on in Russia. But consider this:
1) Anet is an American company. Russian laws do not have any effect or enforcement.
1a) That wouldn’t be the case of Anet had an office in Russia. Thank goodness their data servers aren’t there.
2) GW2 already has homosexual storylines (i.e. Jory and Kas). They kissed as part of the end scene to the Living Story.
1 and 2 are meaningless, if they have a game that is used by Russian customers they must follow Russian laws..
Why do you think Steam got Sued by the Australian ACCC, and had massive law suits here over Refunds.. Steam does not have any Bricks and mortar here in Australia but they still had to follow the laws of the countries they sell too..
Better question in my mind is why are people so obsessed with raiding..
There are people that need to feel better than others, but aren’t actually good enough to play pvp with reasonable success. Raids let them sidestep that minor issue… but only as long as other players care. Thus, the main goal of raiders is to advertise raids as the elite content, and that anyone not doing raids is not a pro like they are. Bonus points for making raids as much unfun as possible, to decrease the chances of other people actually wanting to play it.
Lol you are so far from the truth it’s hilarious.
“People play Left 4 Dead because they are bad at CS:GO”.
Seems legit.
I played a lot of mmo’s and I’ve never seen one where it’s mandatory to have more than 1 main just to be able to join in on the content.
And I have seen the opposite in every mmo I played. If group needs 3 dd and 1 healer you are not going to join as 4th dd even if it is your only class.
I have yet to see many of you who oppose say that easier mode would be a great tool to help introduce raids and teach players… or that having a support mode, normal mode and hard mode is a great progression tool for their friends and guildies who don’t want to try…
How many people are actually flat out against easy mode or difficulty settings in general? Looks like you are confusing people who are against your “ohoni mode” and people who are against “easy mode”.
Most people who make that argument tend to be “fine with an easy mode. . . so long as it’s a complete waste of everyone’s time.”
This thread is not about easy mode anymore. This thread is about ohoni begging for legendary armor. All this “teaching” and “players getting familiar with mechanics” and “progression” is a waste of time for this people. They just want the armor.
I’d also really love an invisible glider and a gliding pose of the character instead. Doesn’t even have to have flappy arms but just a character jumping off a cliff going JERONIMOOOOO without even having a glider and then gliding would be sooooo fun!
Gw2 FAQ:
What’s so special about Legendary weapons?
Cosmetics, prestige, and convenience. Legendary weapons are very expensive and time-consuming to craft, and typically have much more grandiose visuals than other skins. Their stats are identical to ascended weapons, but unlike ascended or lesser gear, players may change the attribute bonuses of their legendary weapon at any time while out of combat.
Notice that skill is not mentioned here. Just wealth and time investment. They may be “prestige” items, but it’s a different type of prestige than the one that is constantly referenced in this discussion.
Times change. Every single legendary in HoT is wealth, time and skill locked.
Skill locked? What skill do you need to get HoT legendaries?
For fractals:
level 53 Underground Facility Fractal with an 80% reduction to healing
level 54 Aetherblade Fractal with an 80% reduction to healing
level 100 Captain Mai Trin Boss Fractal in under 25 minutes (reset bug is fixed so gonna do it in 1 go without dying)
3 other collections require 80% reduction too but are below 50
For pvp:
Cross enough divisions in 2016 to get a precursor.
For open world:
Be good in the open world. Easy for some and “omg I am dying all the time” for others.
For raids:
Do raids weekly.
So this thread went from wanting easy mode raids to wanting easy mode legendary armour to wanting easy mode HoT legendaries to wanting easy mode back legendaries.
No idea man. Just reminding some people that legendaries are, indeed, a prestige item and that everything now requires some sort of skill.
Said a guy who called people “garbage and keyboard warriors” on a video game forum because they expected you to have some knowledge about content. Your bait is so obvious that I am not even gonna report this thread.
To all those who look down on people that don’t know a certain part of the game as good as you…you are garbage and a cheap keyboard warrior. Plain and simple.
And here you are. Looking down on people because you have “a life” and they don’t.
