Maybe its not as bad as I thought, its probably just the public’s perception on the classes, and that warrior/guardian is just the ‘easy’ way to faceroll dungeons.

I said this thread would be coming on patch day the only thing surprising is how long it took. gg Kincaidia.3192 gg

ele’s, and theives. we still use warriors but warriors are not the be all and end all of dps and haven’t been for awhile. Overnerfing will just get us to the point where everyone else catches onto that fact.

credit where credit is due [rT] put up a respectable 3:57 on SEp1 today but there is room for improvement on that run. I think we might see a sub 3:45 run soon.

Im just wondering what you think this will accomplish? In a PvE setting warriors are already being replaced for other higher dps classes and relegated to banner kitten and you want to further nerf their dps output because…?

you can put a white skin on a legendary if you really wanted to

LFM FotM 10 daily. Min 45 ar, 50+ pvp rank, 60 wvw rank and 10k+ achievement score. Only warriors with GS.

Its that game.

45 ar min? what are you some sort of casual? 55 ar min is the new standard

Well the only time i ask to see 45 AR is in my fotm 48 runs, but thats only because it is REQUIRED by Anet themselves. Other then that i couldnt care less what prof or build your running because 99% of the time you have to have at least half a brain to get to 48.

Also, gs wars kinda suck in high level fractals. I rather have you running mainly a/a or a/m

Tachenon.5270:

I’d rather have an expansion, but I don’t see why they can’t do both.

No Walking.6349:

Content coming out this often is a GOOD thing, anyone who says differently is flat out wrong.

quality > quantity

guardian – full rabid gear

dat dere burn damage

they will get right on that after they make fractal rings salvageable

The Eternal Grace.3157:

Think also about the living story…it’s providing content and achievements that must be completed within 2 weeks if you ever want to complete them. This sounds more like a hardcore gaming style to me.

insanely easy fluff content is not what hardcore players want. we want meat and potato content, (dungeons/pvp modes/wvw updates) 2 weeks to do a checklist to get a mini or tonic that noone cares about is not “hardcore”

IndigoSundown.5419:

If Nuka had his way, most casuals wouldn’t see one.

and they shouldn’t. this should have been gated by higher level fractals to advance further in fractals. Play how you want should not mean get everything just by logging in.

only viable in full magi gear

Snowshadow.3105:

Is GW2 shifting its target group? from casual gamers to hardcore gamers?

I stopped reading at this part but can say absolutely no. They constantly release fluff content while ignoring the meat and potatos part of the game (dungeons/pvp/wvw). If anything they are shifting their target group to the asian mmo market with huge amounts of grind that can be bypassed with your wallet.

the advice in this thread makes me cry. For PvE here is what you want to use.

Would be nice if we had a title called ""dungeon" (replace dungeon with arah/hotw/coe, etc..) expert" and you get said title if you do the dungeon more than 50 times, it would help by filtering out really bad pugs.

I know players that have full arah armor and weapon sets, refer to it as their “favorite” dungeon, and still believe that spending 10-15 minutes on lupicus is normal and acceptable.

I know players that have full arah armor and weapon sets and have never fought Lupi

I know players with full Arah armor and weapons that farmed it off of the Crusher / Hunter when you could stand on the coral.

that was you wasn’t it

Knote.2904:

full condition dmg builds are meant to exist because they have entire weapons based 100% around it.

Exactly. Not just weapons either, they have entire PvE gear sets. You’re meant to use it in PvE. It’s absolutely great for AoE tagging, like on staff Necro. Why then should it be useless in very large groups versus one boss? Not just less effective, straight up useless simply because one or two people like you were there already. It makes no sense at all

Quote what I said earlier:

This makes it very easy for players to get angry at each other over playstyle, which sucks.

If youre worried about being made fun of for something that you recognize is terrible maybe you shouldn’t be doing it. I thought this was obvious enough that I wouldn’t have to quote it

The heart of the entire issue is that it shouldn’t be terrible. It’s a legit playstyle except for large groups, which makes no sense. This is an issue of the game being borked in this respect, not players refusing to “be better” or something.

It’s a legit PVP playstyle this is the part you don’t seem able to grasp. If I went into WvW in my pve spec I would get blown up in seconds. Should I start making threads whining that I should be able to play how I want to and to change the mechanics so a full dps a+m/gs warrior is viable in WvW? or should I adapt to the game and change my playstyle?

In other F2P games the more gems you buy the more “bonus” gems you get for paying more money. This doesn’t exist in GW2

post this to general you might get a response if it hits 300+ replies

Knote.2904:

Lol and Anet isn’t even doing the “play how you want” thing at all, I don’t see how it ruined the game at all considering that, if that were the case you wouldn’t have to zerg to make money, and condition builds would be viable. It’s the lack of “play how you want” that’s “ruining” the game as you put it.

1. you dont have to zerg to make money. It just happens to be efficient. Its sad you cant see the difference.
2. all builds DO NOT and SHOULD not be viable for all content. condition sucks. stop complaining that it sucks and play something else. If you love conditions play spvp where they are the meta. complaining that there is only one viable build (zerk) for pve does nothing to change the fact that there is one viable build for pve.
3. and yet here we are where content is being balanced around all classes are able to complete all content. constant threads of “why is my wvw full pvt ele not able to kill liandri?” or previously “why cant 5 rangers kill simin?” Content is getting balanced so everyone on any spec in any build can complete all content and its bringing the game down to such a level that people expect to just be handed things for showing up. The question isn’t why can’t my pvt ele beat liandri its why the hell could your pvt ele even get to liandri? Can 80 necro’s beat teq? who cares go sit on a turret and let someone carry you through the fight like we end up carrying you through dungeons.

Knote.2904:

coronaas.4362:

one of the biggest problems with this game is this thought process that every class under any circumstances should be able to clear all the content in the game and complain about actual specs.

Um…. what?

this has been complained about since the game launched I specifically remember threads about world bosses and condition damage since a week after release. If it hasn’t been changed in a year this thread wont be the tipping point.

now why even ask if it can be done with 80 necros? In what scenario would 80 necros even attempt something like this? Why the heck should they create content that any class/spec/gear combination you think up be clearable? shouldn’t you adapt to their game instead of adapting the game to your playstyle? “Play how you want” ruined this game

one of the biggest problems with this game is this thought process that every class under any circumstances should be able to clear all the content in the game and complain about actual specs.

should have finished that thought “forced to play stuff i dont like…” for weapons I don’t need

GOSU.9574:

Welcome to FLASHBACK 2012.

This is what happens to the peeps who say “LOL you noob if you think GW2 is a grind you don’t know what a grind is”. Yeah, all that “We don’t make grindy games”, ‘we don’t have a gear treadmill’, etc. All the peeps that harped on those of us who complained when the first implementations of all this began to surface. Yeah…

To all those peeps who said it wasn’t a grindy game…LOL.

o/ … I was one of those who were against ascended gear when it was announced because they couldn’t possibly balance new dungeons around the stat increase… silly me thinking they would actually release any new dungeons.

Basharic.1654:

There is little-to-nothing you can accomplish in PvE that can’t be done in level 80 greens. So what’s the rush?

This is my favorite part. Us min/maxers care because it will drop seconds off the fastest runs. to everyone else it means literally nothing. If you arn’t farming fotm 40+ and if you arn’t speedrunning why are you even bothering to get these?

And I don’t want any more power creep on our gear. I much prefer cosmetic progression.

power creep means nothing when difficulty of content doesn’t change.

Chickenshoes.6250:

legendaries got the purple text, ur junk has the orange. Things changed appropriately. Shoulda complained when they said they were going to upgrade legendary weapons to ascended quality months ago.

I believe it was October/November of last year

ITT: a list of dye prices about to go up

inb4 “whats the point of running dungeons if it doesn’t give me ascended weapons”

Dub.1273:

We had a 20 min arah p4 using 4 rangers + 1 engi. Noone of us was used to those character so I believe 3 ramger + 3 necro is quite viable.

of course its viable with 6 people

VOLKON.1290:

What are you babbling on about? Legendary weapons had their stats upgraded to match ascended, and you can choose whatever stat combination you want when out of combat. I don’t see the issue.

hes talking about volcanus or mjolnir etc not getting the stat boost

This thread delivered

are you the type of person that complains that t3 skins are rare quality with crappy stats?

they didnt want to change anything until the “HUGE” pvp tourny at PAX. They will return to more mesmer nerfing soon

They’ve been saying this about every tournament. And guess what? There are more players than just the small teams that show up for a quick tournament. A lot more players. And they’d like to see some changes, too.

ok you want the real reason? they don’t have the dev resources to work on anything but 2 week fluff content. dungeons/pvp/wvw? who cares. the real money is releasing SAB and an unlimited continue coin for 10 bucks. Once in awhile they will throw their base a bone and give us hope something is coming. Its been 9 months(November) since fractals have been released and nothing for the dungeon community to do since then. pvp gets a new map every couple of months and wvw has a level grind to go through. welcome to guildwars 2 all the fun of playing a korean mmo without any of the endgame

yes

Message Body length must at least be 15.

they didnt want to change anything until the “HUGE” pvp tourny at PAX. They will return to more mesmer nerfing soon

since the new skill system wont be in place until next year I doubt they will release any new weapons until then

Nuka Cola.8520:

Anet should learn to put ‘rare’ items in challenging content instead of ALWAYS being craftable inside mystic toilet or crafting stations. GW2 is becoming a Craft Simulation game and i don’t play an MMO to craft all my %$#& and then stand in a city asking myself why i spent so much time/money crafting an item when there’s no content to be experienced with it.

Want a legendary? buy one off the tp (or buy 90% of the mats and “grind” the skillpoints/karma needed) want minis? buy them off the tp. Want anything? buy it off the tp.

what in this game is even worth showing off to other people? What can I get for 2000 hours of playing your game that a fresh 80 cant get with a creditcard?

Ranger!

Good DPS, nice support options and whats not to like of a big brown grizzly bear fighting along side you.

(To prevent stupid comments, no this is no Troll – The Ranger is actually a versatile and interesting class that can enhance any dungeon runs if the player knows what he is doing with his class – The main issue I think stems with bad Ranger players)

This is why I named my ranger Double Bear Longbow

Mine is called Bear Op.
Name is self-explanatory since it’s the truth.

Please don’t be that short-sighted. If the OP made a thread in the official GW2 forums, is so the ones that can fix it, do so!

Yea guys obviously the guild wars 2 dungeon forum is where they see the bug reports. Give the guy a break.

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

Just have the mesmer portal you past them and you’re good to go.

But it can be a problem if the mesmer of the group is the one having that bug.

how slow is this mesmer?
