Guild Wars 2

In-combat speed reduction
defiant
mob crowd control
dodge being the cure all for damage

Only that that really bugs me is the in-combat move reduction. There is nothing and I mean nothing, that makes any sort of sense about it.
It drives me nuts to have to run and dodge through mobs to get hit once and have deal the CC/pinball game GW2 turns into.

I’m even starting to believe that mobs and dungeons mobs do all a percentage of your HP cause it doesn’t make any flippin’ sense for an individual to have the highest toughness in your group go down the fastest in the group.

That belief would make the vit stat pointless too… should go resolve that cognitive dissonance.

Thanks for insult I appreciate that you have much to offer to the discussion.
I’m glad you take me seriously though.

Still, taking vitality will trump toughness in PvE vs where having toughness makes more sense in WvW. Toughness really needs saving, in regards to PvE. Like there being actual damage reduction, but not to the point where we have “tanks” again.

I will say they need to do something with toughness. Getting about the 3k mark in toughness seems to do nothing to mitigate damage against mobs and worst is that it makes you a magnet for mobs… Vitality (with moderate toughness) is in so many ways much better that toughness as it is now.

Really.
A ragtag band of soldiers/spies/scholars were able to chase an elder dragon, corner it and take it down.
And I thought they were supposed to be the big bads of Tyria??
I’m not so convinced.

Zhaitan may have authority over the dead of Orr, but that seemed to be his only card to play. There wasn’t much else to Zhaitan other than his scary look and poison spit.

What I don’t understand even more is that these Elder Dragons are supposedly stronger than the Human gods yet humans (and other races/species) were able to defeat Zhaitan with their combined intelligence and technological advances. What’s to say that the Humans don’t abandon their own gods in lieu of their victory against one of the elder dragons, with them being “oh so powerful.”

Really I hope at least Primordus and Jormag are decent battles, cause Kralkatorrik might turn out to be a disappoint. Why? If his dragon lieutenant, the Shatterer, is even worth mentioning is a sad battle… His (Its) former lieutenant, Glint, was worlds better, being that Glint actually had intelligence and was powerful as well. (Thank you Forgotten!)

Does anyone share my sentiments that these elder dragons are very lackluster?

I don’t understand it either. From what I heard the Elder Dragons are by far stronger than all of the Human Gods. If the Dragons are that weak what’s the point in having Human Gods that are weaker than elder dragons but apparently a ragtag band of soldiers/spies/scholars can down an elder dragon.
Hell, Destiny’s Edge nearly took down a dragon on their own. Just six people.

Still not my cup of tea, but I’m optimistic with any update. Just going to have to see how it is.

I would much prefer less technology, and more fantasy/medieval appeal. Every update almost has been more-so about lasers, sonic, flying, etc. Less about magic, dark fantasy settings.

Well Tyria is advancing past the time of GW1 afterall.
Just think about how things were 250 years ago for us.

Anyways all I can say is this gives me a faint smell of CANTHAAAA!!!

There’s a function to draw/stow your weapon if you check out your keybindings.
I have definitely seen this before in a video a few months back. I couldn’t figure out how to do it, but I knew it was like a free block.

This is one of the big irks about playing he Charr race. :/
Only a few armor pieces have space for the tail to come through. Maybe like 4 or 5 various pieces.
And this is among all the armor we have for light, medium and heavy…

You will be featured on the show… “Hoarders.”

You have more than enough duplicates of certain items that you can really just through them away. :T
I don’t understand why you don’t use them. (if you do well shoot junk it!)

What I find disappointing is all the karma gear available with generic skins. Anet really missed an opportunity to make bank off of Transmutation Stones there….
Nearly all of the karma/heart vendors have these amazingly name weapons but they only sport generic skins, most of the time.
That just feels like a real waste.

I have my pirate themed armor set for my norn warrior and my raven themed set.

Pirate (1st set of pics):
Severed Breach Helm (karma)
Gladiator Chestplate (crafted)
Eagle Chausses (cultural)
Pit Fighter Gauntlets (exotic)
Scale Pauldrons (warrior bio item)
Pit Fighter’s Sandals (karma)

Raven (2nd set of pics):
Barbaric Helm (crafted)
Priory Breastplate (durmand priory armor)
Priory Leggings (durmand priory armor)
Eagle Gauntlets (cultural armor)
Stag Spaulders (cultural armor)
Eagle Greaves (cultural armor)

I know for an absolute fact that everyone is having problems with the ridiculously low drop rate.
Butter and chocolate, raining from the skies and coming out of our ears.
Bog Skales in upper Metrica Province dropped plenty of vials of weak blood pre-cooking patch. Now I can raise a freakin skale farm based off the amount of eggs (cooking item) they drop. Not to mention all the amazing dishes I can make from fins!
Fin soup, fin pizza, fins and chips…the list goes on…

What in the world has happened to all the scales, bloods, fangs and all the other materials vital to crafting??
I literally can’t keep up crafting if the drop rate is this bad. It’s even cause those items prices to jack up!

Seriously there’s enough butter and chocolate to make a palace out of it…

It can’t be just me feeling like this.
