Guild Wars 2

soon every player will look the same , Add legendary armor it is so easy to say , but how is it gona work ? one light armor one medium one heavy ? I think we need option to upgrade our ascended armor to let it switch stats or the easiest option BUILD TEMPLATE=everyone wins

Lucyfer.9517:

Completing pre events gives me like 2-4 silver? Not talking about loot because thanks to anets nerfs most mobs don’t drop anything. So what can i buy for 4 silver? ahh right nothing. With reward like this i prefer to stand in place/go make some tea/watch paint dry/whatever.

Possible solution, copy pvp reward tracks to pve, let us progress tracks by participating in events, make sure you keep it fair though, don’t let neither pve or pvp be the better/faster method.

ok lets be serious every person who runs world bosses for gold/dragonite will write that it is horrible idea becasue they have to do something instead of wp 11111111 wp , people like that should get only 2/5 of loot without finishing all events.

It’s just a word, don’t focus on this. I just tried to make a difference between a casual and an avid gamer since years. I’d like to hear an answer from you about this topic.

casual and hardcore,
rather than “avid” to describe the different players?

casuals can spend MANY hours in game, it’s not necessarily a time thing. It used to be, yes, not it’s more..
like
The sims, that’s a casual game, seeing it in terms of games, makes it easier to understand the difference between casuals and hardcore gamers.
Time difference, is an old definition, and shouldn’t be held to.

Causal players think I’m hard core. Hard core players think I’m casual. It’s not an on/off switch, after all.

My approach the games is casual, but I usually end up doing all the content. I just don’t repeat all the content. I’ve finished all the content in Guild Wars 1, for example. But I didn’t run most of the elite content more than once. Oh I did the Deep a couple of times, and FoW. Even solo farmed the underworld with my Rit on occasion. Very rare occasion. I did DOA and killed Duncan Black but at the end of the day that stuff didn’t interest me all that much.

The problem is, the most loyal players aren’t from one side of the divide or another. Plenty of hard core players are loyal and plenty move to other games. Plenty of casual players are loyal and plenty move to other games.

Now we run into the question of what percentage of the player base actually does that more challenging content, and how much time and effort will Anet put to cater to that demographic. Because that’s really the question.

We don’t have the numbers, and Anet does. They know how many people by percentage do the ultra hard stuff. I’m pretty sure if that was their main demographic, if it was enough people, they’d produce more of that content. But they don’t. They produce more of the other type of content. Fortunately for me I like the stuff they come out with.

I wouldn’t care much for more dungeons, and certainly not for raids. I’d do them to help others get through them, but they’ll never be my main focus.

But again if Anet saw most people did that stuff, Anet might make more of it, more often. It would be really interesting if Anet would provide some details as to how many people are doing different content by percentage if not numbers. I think most people would be surprised.

skill lvl must be really low when most ppl you see set their traits only once in their life or change it using guide found in the internet becasue they dont know how it works

Lol somebody got late,didnt finish event and didnt recieve full reward such a cruel world . Maybe every player should get chest and doesnt matter is he online/offline .

Nice idea maybe soon we will see new tier of ascended accessories which for example creates aura arund your char or maybe modify your skills like rune

but what is the problem with higher level difficulty content you already said that we are supposed to set our own targets ,so set yours if arah p4 is too difficult dont do this go cof p1 . And yh higher lvl =better reward if you wanna tell me that 2 hour raid should give me 1g and 2 blue it is sad . If some people want to run cof p1 let them do this but dont let them think that running this easy 7 min crap is equal to some hardcore content becasue it is not . I don`t know why people think that they can get whatever they want . you cant it is basic rule of life , you can try but nobody tells you that you will achive that . same should be mmo , you can try this content but nobody tells you that you will finish it .

I just reached 10,000 achievements
And as good as it feels it’s not offering much in a sense of prestige

The gear is a nice touch but it’s all the same. (Zenith)

Maybe give us the option to level again from level 1
And then reaching 80 unlocked prestige skins or weapons

After all leveling is wht makes this game fun, I would do it again.

So you’re playing for prestige. You’re playing to impress other people. I get it now. People don’t care what you have in game. It’s an MMO. No matter what you do, you won’t be a special little snowflake.

I’m at over 19,000 achievement points and no one gives a kitten . And that’s okay. Why should it even matter?

This is abssolutly not true. It’s one of the main diffrences between MMOs and Single Player RPG’s.
One of the big points of the MMOS is after all your work you can “brag” your self to other people, make you feel diffrent from everyone else, make you feel more “heroic”. That’s why endgame exists, people are done getting their chars to maximum level and now it’s not only about making your char more efficient as it is also to be able to be recognized by other players for something that you have done / achieved. After all that’s the WHOLE point of the Titles and Legendaries.

I totally agree with that in gw2 there is no way to show off your skills and things you achieved , everything is gold based but things like www,pvp lvl are hiden becasue less skilled players will fell bad becasue their rank is lower .There are even no rewards for playing pvp,www becasue when Anet wants to add special unique armor,skin whatever pve community is crying on the forum to put it on the gemstore or tp .Today I saw in LA map chat people talking that animal finishers(shark,phoenix,dragon)should be on gemstore becasue they want it but cant get it .Every time when somebody posts idea to mix pvp with pve community is crying that these 2 aspects should never cross each other but they should every environment should have its own rewards and things to master . In this game pve i master race and other aspects are only some addon to pve community .

I really miss that in gw2 what was making other mmos special when you were hanging around some action house or other place where players were spending a lot of their time and suddenly boom you see that guy skill over 9000 and you know that he will smash you on pvp or duel in few sec .

dodgycookies.4562:

Yes please.

having actually played the gw2 china version their sub system works pretty well without putting free players at at disadvantage. (the game is cheap and ping is actually playable for when i am in asia for business compared to the us servers)

There are some things i would change, but the system would be a nice addition to the western version.

But sadly it will probably not happen as many current gw2 players see the word “subscription” and have a closed minded vitriolic reaction to it no matter how well implemented or optional it maybe.

Totally agree on this ,sub doesnt make p2w but some people are really narrow minded , and maybe it will shock some people but chinesse people have much more items in thier gem store,even more items in game.

Yh only people taging to overtake would be problem but still I think it will bring more advantages then disadvantages .

Thats nice idea I was also thinking that they should scale with outnumbered buff so when much bigger zerg hits you they can over take ac,canons etc and give some time for def , regroup against much stronger,bigger blob

we all know that $$$$=content

I have yet to see anything here, or in any other game, to convince me that this is the case.

It`s only theoretically when product generates much money they can invest much more into product more teams(I think there is no pvp,www,dung team only ls makers)

I have idea that cmd should be able to overtake every siege which is in use by ally , and then player with higher mastery should be able to overtake siege from guy with lower mastery we all knew that feeling when some noob takes the ram and you can whisp him beg him nothing , then when both players have same tier of mastery owner can overtake it

Liston.9708:

Sorann Peace.9056:

…. Their updates tend to be of a relatively good quality, a good quality that wouldn’t be available if they didn’t have the money.

Living story season 2 episode 3 was the most rushed buggiest piece released yet….. Not sure about the quality or plenty of resources comment..

That said, only thing I could see with minor sub is gem store discounts…..

yh excatly when i look at their updates, new content I have feeling that Anet is gona go bankrupt in day or two and now I see that people can`t read , I dont know how these people finished primary school , I talk about gem store items ,they talk about sigils available only to premium people 0_0 you see the difference between bigger bank during sub and 1shooting armor yes ? and why not 2500 gems for this kind sub

we need build templates to create different build and be able to switch between them in one click

I dont know some ppl can`t read or they write comment without reading like 90% of youtubers . If you dont buy sub you have EXCATLY SAME GAME . if somebody has a lot of gold he can almost buy his ascended weapon anyway and reseting dung sweet jesus 10 reseted cofs=12g its gona flip entire gw2 economy . it would be option for people who spend money in gem store they might get some discounts or special offers . and astral I think that all blc before update must be deleted becasue it will ruin economy .

I was thinking about adding NON MANDATORY SUBSCRIPTION to gw2 so I want to say that entire gw2 stay completly the same as it is now , but there would be something like gemstore sub which will give you some bonuses (no-combat bonuses)

Few quick ideas

-first requires rebuilding Black Lion chests, so they become account-bound and they drop rate is a bit reduced. Every blc has time to open (7 days since drop) . People with sub can open unlimited ammount of blc without using keys
- gem store loyalty points so lets say that every month subscriber gets 1000 points ,these points can be used to
————-reduce time-gated content(for example crafting ascended mats, you can craft only one every 24h but using 100 points you can disable this gate so you can craft 2 [after 2nd craft gate appears again] so you have to use same amount of gold but you dont have to wait.
————same dungs you can get only once a day account-bound chest but using tokens you can replay same path 2nd time and get full loot
————- for example for 1500 tokens player can start his own pvp arena
————— tokens can be converted to influence or guild merits
—————-and many other
- and maybe account mf 25% boost , karma 10% boost, gold find 5% boost
-and black lion trading company symbol next to the gold star for map comp just to show off

I think that sub like this will help this game becasue we all know that $$$$=content and it doesnt affect gameplay combat but it can bring much more content like dung,new pvp arenas etc

Lihak.1928:

Don’t get me wrong here, I like the fact that Anet is constantly doing stuff for the game and I’m sure there are some people who actually enjoy the living world content. But I personally don’t play mmo’s because I like to grind mobs or achievements alone or follow some pretty ordinary and predictable dragon plot. There are great single-player games for that. In an mmo I’d simply love to see more “multiplayer content”. Stuff that you can do with other people and stuff that can potentially keep you entertained for much longer than what it takes to finish a couple of story instances.

In the previous mmo I played there were expansions with new dungeons, classes, races, pvp etc. that always made the game feel fresh. In Gw2 however, despite the “living world” I can say that from my perspective the game has changed or moved on only very little. I’ve been grinding the same dungeons and the same kind of pvp for two years now and I keep wondering whether there will ever be content for my kind of players rather than just for the b-class story fans.

It’d be interesting to see a survey about where the majority of the player base spends most of their game time. Is it really the in living world content? Might it be because it’s the only thing that’s being developed? I dare you to throw in some new pvp content other than conquest maps and see how happy it’ll make people.

I spent a lot of my time in DC universe online and I think that idea like every 2 months new DLC with dungs,raid ,pvp arenas would be better then waiting few months for nothing and watching devs answears “we are working”. Maybe we need some kind non mandatory subscription too speed up the process of making content ?

Zardul.3952:

if you put a piechart of pvp vs pve

pve would only be winning slightly.

wvw and pvp are still a large amount of the playerbase

sry mate but www is losing more and more and more ppl same pvp ppl are sick of few maps on team arena and no updates completly none,zero,null (2 years=1 update)

People actually had problems with this boss?
People are actually wanting them to nerf difficulty?
Things in this game are easy enough. I’d rather they stop with the mindless nerfing just to appeal to people that refuse to learn basic mechanics.
To add to the dungeon discussion, every dungeon in the game is easy. When every single dungeon can be beat by the same strategy (stack on boss, kill boss), then dungeons, even arah, should not be considered difficult by anyone.

i agree in 100% , guild wars 2 in few words : 111111 hitting same mob with different name 11111111 boss fight 1111111 world event 111111+runing to the corner 11111111

rly maybe when I was growing up games were more difficult or people just didn`t run to forum after every death writing pls nerf it ,it killed me(eyes full of tears) or i just like games like dark souls ,ninja gaiden 2, older final fantasy even resident evil 2 had higher lvl.

Um, so what are u doing here again?

just rly easy answear www and pvp, these are the most enjoyable things in this game and yh it is horrible that people try to fix pve lets turn gw into movie so everyone can enjoy story , maybe it will shock you but most people in mmo are looking for challenge for raids which take 2 hours and fail .but in gw2 there is no pve endgame content entire pve can be finished with one hand and with turned off screen and 99% of reviews and players who quits can tell you that .

And gw community is some kind special one , in most games people first are looking for strategies,guides how to finish fight dung etc. this community first comes here and asks for nerf after few hours after release ;D

Arghore.8340:

@Cormac, yeah sorry, I’m not going to go for that one…

Wanderer.3248:

Dodge backwards usually keeps him in front of you.

This guy was much easier than the statue fight at the end of part 3.

Yeah I can only do that 2.5x and that’s on a ranger, and tbh. it doesn’t help much, because he is so fast and has that jump that does that high damage … Also, that double Retaliation makes him dang hard to deal with as well, hadn’t even mentioned that…

Well see, there I do not agree, or at least not from my experience. I play a ranger with Axe/Axe & Warhorn + traps. So I basically stood somewhere in the middle, put traps down for that Mender, and just watched any red circles, when the mender was down I simply turned around and hit the statue. It was done and over with one down, which was basically when some of the AoE and one of these orbs hit me consecutively in one big hit… I was back up b4 I knew it though as some spirit died…

So clearly some foes are harder for certain builds and play styles, I think that is all good, but the thing remains is that this wolf has some really annoying features, and simply isn’t fun. I will say that it is great for a challenge, but it just should not be in there (in this fashion) in the story instance, as you force a lot of players to restart the instance just because they happen to open a box with a slightly OP creature esp. when compared to all other creatures in the whole instance…

I dont know how to help you , i killed it at first try with my guardian and there is no tactic dps it , keep the distance heal and dps it again i lost my health maybe once to 20% but it was just my mistake becasue i was dpsing him too long

Actually npces in this fight are working great , they agro all archers etc. If this guy hitting statue would be able to kill it, it would be too op . I finished this fight as nomand guard in 10 min and as dps around 5-6 .

Arghore.8340:

Don’t think the big damage has to go, but it be nice if the recharge on it could be a bit more agreeable with a general average build. Large hits do give this thing an actual feeling of thread… Same with his large health pool… the thing that makes it so hard is that the recharge on his big skills seems to be 3 sec. So after you use your 2 evades, blow your heal then a 3rd evade, then all there is left to run around like a headless chicken ‘praying’ you wont be hit by this big thing he just keeps throwing out…

Though, what I found most annoying is him being so ‘in my face’ where mostly due to ‘non-blocking’ in the game, I could not even see where I was. He is big and blocking my view of my character, not seeing when I am being hit, what hits big etc… this in your face experience was all but enjoying…

use swiftness ? this mob is well designed actually these new trasher mobs are well designed we are already sick of all enemies (take melee weapon run toward it keep hitng for 10 sec to melt , run forward)

or my favorite of all “I should be able to do all the content regardless of skill level!”

That’s the only point I cant agree with; I don’t believe there should be any gated content… a harder version with better rewards, titles, and achievements, yes; but content only hardcore players can play, no.

Content should be for everyone, rewards and achievements… they should be earned.

So I guess we should make Arah, Liadri, etc. easier so all players can play them?

I wait for more dung bosses like liadri or lupi from arah but first lets get rid of only zerker meta and corner stacking maybe then there is hope for pve in this game

crap sry you were right my apologies , I was still sleeping when I was reading that my mistake

Zietlogik.6208:

Xillllix.3485:

Apparently it takes them more than a year to make a single map (according to them). Their WvW team is evidently super small.

Considering that it’s been 2 years and that we have 1 new map (EOTM), making 3 bl maps would probably take them 5 years at the current pace…

He means just to change the types of guards outside the structures, and give the maps a “theme” so instead of green/white like we currently have, the textures would by swapped for themed (already existing) textures, such as desert rocks/sand, snow/ice, and green/jungle

Yh excatly they already have these textures so it`s only proces of switching it , easier then creating new map and it always brings something new

drowze.3709:

The content is by no means only doable by hardcore players. I completed it on my necro (condi specs) and guardian, the two toons I play most, and I for one am not a hardcore player (don’t own a legendary or even any of the t3 cultural armors). If I were to try on my mesmer, who I hardly play, I would have problems, because I don’t know the class’ skills and traits as well.

OP already mentioned he beat it on his ranger, so I don’t see a problem with it. If the content should be designed so I can beat it on all my lvl 80 characters without learning to play them somewhat properly, it wouldn’t feel right either.

The achievements are harder, but it’s good they give you an incentive to group up to do those. Story should be solo-able and it really is in this state.

sry if you call this fight hardcore content probably you have never finished t1 fights on queens gauntlet , and anyway I still preffer this “HARDCORE CONTENT” then stupid standing in one spot and dpsing target without using brain,so much fun in dungs standing in the corner, in ls standing in the middle of room . I really cant believe how noobish community Anet has created . Sometime ago I created thread about visible pvp,www ranks next to pve lvl (pvp ranks will be over 80) and what ?! pvpers liked it wwwer liked it ,pve community was crying that it is such a horrible idea because everyone will see that they are low pvp ranks , hmmm strange they dont pvp and cry about low rank strange . what else ppl crying about removing ap
-so lets remove ap because ppl are kicked from dungs
-then lets hide pve lvl because ascalon is from lvl35 and nobody is gona tell me how to play
-then lets hide class symbol because party is looking for suport guard and iam bearbow ranger who cares I wanna play now
-lets hide my armor look cause somebody rate my char as 3 not 10 !!!!
-lets hide nickname so others cant complain about me
- and anet pls make gw single player !!!!

rly ?! I love in all fpses like cod,bf showing of with max prestige,lvl or whatever , but in gw content which can kill you and which requires few tries to finish is really bad , ohh and lets dont forget its lvl80 content but who cares ?! if you think that this content is hardcore pls dont try under any cunder circumstances demon`s souls or older Final fantasy

Today when I played eotm just for fun didnt that for over 1 month I thought that it would be cool idea to change normal maps on www . If we keep the idea that red are badlands etc we can create desert map,frost map and jungle map. On every map devs will change textures for snow sand etc and all keeps towers would be defended by kodash,ogre npc . I think that change like that is much easier then creating completly 3 new maps but it will bring some new fresh feeling to www . There would be also possibility to change bloodlust buffs for example when you control it on frost map , controlers have 5% dmg reduce (this kodash armor or whatever it is called )

I soloed him as PVT guard with staff/gs , dps him and run around for passive heal and over and over .

All buffs should have special visual effect like protection

I really want it and also build template I am already sick of wasting 15 slots in inventory for second armor and switching over and over traits+skills

Oh man 3 weeks ago I had kudzu from sentry guard from t1 tower

so in your opinion we should never ever see hardcore dungs , raids for exp ppl which requires much coop ? maybe when i was growing up i was playing games which required skill ,focusing and understanding of your mistakes not just cutscene games full of run forward beeing immortal to see another cutscene . I really loved pve in this game when I was doing Liadri , i was such a great fight , I even did this light achi and when I was doing fractals over level 50 . OH god it was amazing I could spend there 2 hours and didnt finish it !! It was just amazing I felt really OP when I hit fract lvl 80 just like a god of PVE standing above all noobs runing just cof or world events right now PVE for me is really really dead . I just speedrun few paths per day for gold(during eating my dinner its rally true) becasue I want to finish my 4th legendary and then I only play pvp,www because there is absolutly no challenge in pve , you can do everything with pug party found in 5 sec in LFG . Thinking that there is no place in game for harder content in long therm is gona kill this game , people will be bored really quickly and they will quit this game for another mmo where is some challenge

EDIT look at game called destiny . it is some kind shooting mmo and devs said that there are gona be really though raids and there wont be lfg for them becasue you should find your own group !

PVE is just broken blame devs not players because they can`t fix pve for over a year , stacking in corners rules !!!!!!! you should be happy that you are not engi . ranger can take gs , spoter+spirit and has META BUILD necro also but engi is crap when you look at his dps .

really you think that ppl writing this 1111 are using only auto-attack skill ? they just paraphrase to show how easy content is but anyway on 90% of world bosses i leave my char with auto and go for food or beer but anyway
hard content-ppl cry “nerf it”
easy content – ppl cry “too easy”
hard achi – ppl cry that they have to make any effort to get achis which arent mandatory
easy achis- also bad

lets all come back for afking on world bosses and be happy how much rares we have

I really cant comment it if some people say that this fight is difficult , they should insta leave gaming and go read books . Really you can stand in melee range of that statue and just 11111 , stand a bit on the left or right and his hammer aoe wont hit you , ghosts wont agro on you, you have to only dodge this orb and and and !!!! there is map notification, event notification that mender spawned , just leap to him use all skills on gs and come back to 111111 statue . is it really that hard ? maybe if you are using some crap build like nomand or other crap like that you will have problems on pve , bacause this game mode is based on dps . anyway i hope that way day we will see really hard pve content ,dungs,raids for exp ppl who have to coop not just stand in the corner and full dps to melt boss in 4 sec !!! yh such a skillfull content which can be done in pug group which was found in 5 sec (sweet jesus dung with liadri as boss) . but lets be serious noobs like that brings more $$ to the game thats why devs dont develop pvp or www , they created too nobish community which is affraid of death,pain and challenge , just look eotm 99% who are running to their cmd from base are shocked that they can be killed by roamer

oh and that bow ranger example really made me laugh pls tell us that there is also bear

0_0 rly there are some people who cant win this fight ?! My friend on nomand guard did this instance in circa 11 min . Now I understand why Anet doesn`t want to increase difficulty on pve(which anyway is pathetic standing and 111111)

YH good idea anyway i have around 20 infused rings in bank waiting for alts

Please not the wings. They’re ugly. I’d rather see some more backpiece skins come out in the gem store, through crafting or through token rewards – or permanent living story add-ons. Just not those wings, any backpiece skins but those wings.

sorudo.9054:

i play GW for 9+ years and i say you talk BS, they eventually made an NPC that rewards players with a hat when collecting a stack of even items like candy cane shards or candy corn.

After, like, 8 years.

7 actually, they also never asked to do a full set of titles for the reward, be there and you have the hat.
if they did that exactly the way GW1 did then i could understand the exclusively but since they locked it away behind a huge achievement grind and the achievements can’t be done anymore i now side with adding the wings back in the game as reward.
heck, add them like they did with the rest, takes quite a bit of time and laurels can only be gained ones a day i see no reason to keep them out.

huge achi grind LOL we have enough noobish 111111 content , yh it is really horrible that there is any challenge but lets nerf everything everyone should have every possible skin after turning on game becasue stupid society though people that they deserve everything becasue they want something . exclusive time-gated content is exclusive just no i hope you will never get these wings , just keep going .

NO NO NO NO you didnt get it , you dont have it . it is really simple I dont understand why people think that they can get what ever they want , you missed it sry you will never have these wings in this game

there should be 4 days per month when sab opens and you can play and have week sab achis like speedrun this or that on turb mode in 20 min etc

Yh we all love upleveled crap which can be killed by nomand guard with staff^^ I think that 99% of guilds dont want to lose fight becasue of upleveld crap which can melt in 1 sec and is completly useless during teamfight . Dungs are the same 99% of parties will kick lvl40 from ac exp and what ? I think its better to have 1 person less then upleveld on teamfight . Lvl your char to 80 and then come back and play.

MystF.5186:

Well, that gold sink clearly isn’t working, lol.

hahahah yh I also noticed it after 3rd legendary weapon , there is no money sink no target which we have to buy .

Any way why capri isnt on solo queue or hot join ? do we have soooo many maps they we can actually delete them ?

mojowalker.3798:

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Instead, I wonder if ANet can follow in the footsteps of gw2state.com and similar sites by creating a two-tier event overlay to go on the primary map.

• First tier: toggle on the event overlay on or off (default).
• Second tier: choose options for which events to display, for example:
  • Champion events.
  • Meta events.
  • Events active for more than 20 minutes.
  • Trait-unlocking events.

I suppose ANet could also add an option for display a list of upcoming timed events in the zone.

I think the overlay on the map screen with selectable options would provide everyone with enough freedom to display the info they wanted without creating a massive clutter for folks that prefer fewer things shown. It also doesn’t affect the main screen, so it’s not like you’d be in the midst of a battle and have a bunch of notifications pop up, blocking your view. As was stated, the more options the better, but that they should be options is most important of all.

This option is also quite good but I think that people will take part only in boss events to get rare+dragonite ore and I wanted to add notification tracker to any event like killing alpha drake in bloodtide coast or killing fire shaman in plains of ashford , in this way people with high endgame gear will have motivation to participate in some low lvl chain event with leveling chars , all zones will have players doing events . But the biggest problem with that system is spreading players equally to avoid 30 players zerging alpha drake . And I think that in this system player should tp to area for free to bring more players or notification like "Hero ! players in bloodtide coast need your help (event name+description) click to tp " and you will tp for free to nearest wp and you will be in the same overflow . Helping player should get much more gold,karma or even special tokens similar to dung ones .
And second thing event visibility is also important , we should be able to open world map and see events in lets say our current zone .

dear gods the cries over having to get rank 30 in WvW was horendous.

oh yes I remember tears almost flooded entire tyria like thousands years before .
Let`s be serious Anet promised us esport game focused on pvp like gw1 where we can play how we want . And we recieved game friendly for noobish pve community which stands in one spot and keep pressing 11111111 and every time they try to add more hadcore content (like liadri ) , people demand nerf becasue they cant spam 1111111 and they cant get rewards for doing this content .
Come on Anet wake up relase huge DLC for around 40$ and rebalance this game from basis. People are already leaving this game because there is no challenge .PVE full zerker or die ,lets all stand in one corner and wait till boss dies . WWW zerg = full pvt or die rally bot . WWW roaming =condi tanks 4ever . Play how you want hmmm you mean play few metas or die ?

What if I tell you that people earn money on dungs ? I do 7 paths everyday to get over 15g and I really dont want pugs in my team becasue with 1 dung it doesnt matter is it 15 or 25 min but with 7 paths its over 1 extra hour . I preffer to wait 1 extra min then suffer entire path because i have idiot bearbow ranger and people who dont understand simple sentence like “ill pull boss”

www ranks and pvp rank should be visiable to every targeted ally but WELCOME to noob comunity full of people "i can play how i want , they will insult me for beeing low rank player " . Long time ago I posted idea about these ranks and making infinite pvp rank to give any fell of progression for pvp players but you know the answer .

But IT IS MY LFG i can look for every possible setup up in this game and from my experience party like that is almost always the fastest because eles have insane dps and warriors have also good dps , they are easy to play and have op survi when you compare it to other zerkers . spider queen melts in 3-4 sec sry i dont need more .(iam guard)

PS i add condi infront of necro becasue it was condi necro

yh we really need lfg and kicking update , everyday i do AC full run and I place lfg “READ FIRST full speedrun need 2 zerk ele+ 2 zerk warriors (exp or kick 4k+ ap)” and what i see thiefs,rangers,condi necros . come on what the hell . maybe anet should also add living story called reading with braham or something similar to that
