Guild Wars 2

HwaRyun.1807:

It seems like the two types of guild on offer are either your casual as hell guilds, or the really hardcore speedrunners who are posting world records and demanding that applicants run a series of trials to gain entry. I’m not bad at the game, but i’m not convinced i’d do well enough in a trial to get into one of the fun looking guilds after seeing all their videos, yet it seems difficult to get up to that level when i can’t play with better players. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle at times.

Pretty much my situation… I mean, what used to be my situation. Then I figured the guild I want doesn’t exist.

I’m more concerned of the lack of black homosexual transgendered legendaries that identify with a penguin-truly a cowardly act as they are obviously conforming to the privileged heteronormative patriarchy and are making said people unable to enjoy the game because they aren’t portrayed in said game.

As for you, check your privilege. You forgot to mention the legends who are wheelchair-bound, mentally impaired, otherkin and overweight. I can’t believe you could be so insensitive towards these oppressed video game characters. /sarcasm

Best quote I could find.

…. bleh.

I see pugging makes you want to vent a lot

/puts on glasses

Hmmm. This makes me wonder… how hard is it to settle on a guild for the average guy in gw2? I remember (I don’t really want to but m ybrain stores everything bad :/) my times about 2 years ago when everyone had quit and I was on my own for almost a year, trying to scramble and get by, putting up lfg in the guild section of this forum, joining… what? like 10 guilds in a few months… they were all too casual, simply too many scrublords OR a good team of guild people and the others being left to rot.. there was no right guild for me. There still isn’t, but I learnt I can’t be in one. I can’t be a lonewolf either, it isn’t me, so… Using the friendlist is my saving grace. Yay forums!

Why don’t you join dungeon guilds or abuse these forums. Is it easier? more convenient? do your feet smell bad?

Wow.
This is among one of the few things (you can count ‘em on one hand, a few fingers even) that really enrage me, so if he’s trolling, troll successful. I freaking despise these things.

So basically you need to go insane (I already am but I can’t stand more than ONE pug in my team? hmmm), buy a sandbag, no, buy two sandbags, and have amazing friends.

Conclusions: full pugging for long periods of times is like exposing oneself to the elephant foot.

Even I am raging due to the two staff guardians (my biggest pet peeve) who we picked up as pugs. My friend still manages to get me laughing on TS or Skype or what not. It’s good to have friends.

It’s probably the only reason I still log in to this game.

P.S. It’s not fair that friends can make me happy when I just want to sulk.

:3 I know, sometimes it’s cool to sulk, for we like the holes and caves we know – even when they’re suffocating… but you got plenty of time for that, gotta do something else when around frands!
Frands are awesome. As weird as it may be, they don’t take up room in your heart but they make it grow bigger. At least it feels like it.

Talyn.3295:

Why is it, when I ask for experienced I get people who have never run a path before in their life? Then when I open a group and say “Teaching, Open to anyone but be nice” I get someone who wants to pop in and take over the group and speed through it like its some kinda speed run?

I am all in favor of people being able to run the kinda builds they want as long as the other 4 members of the group are in agreement. But I am not going to take a brand new friend who has no idea how to play the game through in a zerker only exp group, its going to be bad forever everyone involved.

On a side note: Why am I cursed with bad internet right now and I am forced to spend time reading the forums due to lag when I would rather be playing…rant over, at least that made me feel better.

Question open to everyone: how do you stand pugging for long periods of time?

Ahhh let it be, gotta do what you gotta do to pass the time. I’m not bothered by anything as long as it’s not done with the intent to make other people feel awful

So I actually try to run a dungeon again for once and… the game decides that it’s a good idea to make me use the NA-Lfg tool even though I’m on an EU server and I’m not set to invisible or whatever. Joy.

If you logged into invisible mode then your client will be bugged until you turn yourself on ‘online’ and restart the client.

I’m aware of that, I just wasn’t®incoglionito. Oh well, didn’t matter much.

FTFY.
… Sorry. I’ll go away now.

Lmao.
Yeah, I ended up taking the german spelling for it for some reason.

It sounds angrier and more kitten.
Gahhhhhh enough with these kittens!

That clears a lot up, actually, gabbo! Someone is trying to get dungeon changes into the patch notes, but they’re getting taken out by someone higher up. Nice.

Dude…
Do it again, and I swear to my kitty I’m gonna burn your house.
…And report you!

Nakashima.7560:

Do explain.. why would you fix something that has been bugging us all, and not brag about it? I’d of jumped up from my chair if you put that in the patchnotes! Thanks a bunch for that fix ^^

I’m not in charge of the patch notes, although I did make that request for it since there was considerable attention around the bug. Some bug fixes just aren’t deemed important enough to spend resources on, and some things we simply don’t announce (like some exploit fixes). I try to keep things as transparent as I can though, but the end decision isn’t up to me.

….
:(

Sorry, I can’t see anything with all these tears.

They do look like an improved version of necros – just less dark, yeah. I see the similarities and I see the superior strength. Still… we need the reaper to see the conclusive proof. Rev totally beats necro in group buffs tho, that’s for sure… means it’ll be more desirable in pve.
Don’t count him beaten for the personal damage yet!

I don’t understand why devs insist on limiting necros so freaking much. It’s a bit like with rangers – the 2 classes are bound by design to huge anchors, holding them down and not letting them take flight. They’d need just a few more pushes..
The spite line is good right now :< gives might, vuln, damage modifiers… it’d be cool if necros had more group stuff, but I like toying around with the blood line. I love all the auras and downed manipulation.
(saved nat or.. someone… from a bubble the other day, lulul downed and ooop, out you go!)
Agree on the thought that revs are almost a necro 2.0 or a “plan B”. But, isn’t it awesome that Shiro delivered almost everything revs lacked? Lul. The other trait lines need a lot of work still imo.

Anyway, a little kittened because the not-so-vacant 2nd ele slot, which could be taken by whatever, is AGAIN becoming more crowded with another contender.
Rangers running out of air or perhaps an overreaction of mine. I dunno, I’ve just been like this since the patch. I’m unsatisfied with the class.
Just gotta play vivvi, I guess. Looks tailored for me with the gw1 roots and the supportish nature.
AND DWAGONS. Yeah, totally mine.
(and 2 swords oh yes yes yes)

YEAHHHHHHH the shield. Gah. Another supportive hybrid thingy! Meh. Let’s hope they iterate on it and give it some more interesting effects.
OMG the roleplayng potential. FSP and Glint.. and Glint… ahhh… I didn’t think about it…
/faints
I better go to sleep.
No more handkerchief for me tho, now the staff is an actual weapon.

Honestly, I’ve read a lot of baseless complaints, for instance “rev got more lifesteal than necros” which is just a huge, steaming pile of bullkitten if I’ve ever seen one. They only got 2 traits (one of which will never be picked because it’s against the 20% dmg trait) and a weak heal.
They do have more mobility in combat than necros and, potentially, more team support.. but they also have smaller health pools, still no stun breakers but 1 (trait), no customisable utilities (people forget how big this is), less soft ccs, less hard ccs unless traited, less conditions… and this is from the perspective of a necro, like, the kittentiest class in the universe. I think rev and necro do have a few things in common, actually. As I mentioned, little stun breakers and blablabla.

Shiro-san brings good damage and mobility (and finally some group boons finallllyyyyyyy), alright, but people are whining because they say revs got more support and tankiness than a GUARDIAN. Oh, and more damage and mobility than thieves.
I’m not a mathematician nor a theorycrafter, but even I with my pea-sized brain can clearly see it’s a knee-jerk reaction.

I see mostly silence from rangers. I suppose many have just /sigh and given up as I did.

Oh, and energy. People forget energy. It’s not easy to keep it up and flowing, guise. Unless Glint gives some kind of energy management, you will not be able to do all those cool things at once. Gotta swap to jalis to get energy back? Oh look, you lost Shiro-chan.
kitten.

dlonie.6547:

Yeah, I’m good. It was funny to me, but I’m not trying to upset anyone (or have what happened to WvW happen here), so no more salt on the wounds from me.

The point was made, no need to beat this horse anymore — we all know it died a long time ago. Sorry for being depressing, I’ll knock it off <3

dloony
Don’t be sad. We still got frands!

IrisTheCasual.3742:

Now, there’s only Glint left.

I feel like I want to yank Gabo’s collar, stare at his face eyes to eyes and scream “I TOLD YOU! GABE, I TOLD YOU! There will be Glint, and she will come to tear you apart. Hater!” /just a fragment of my fiction

/bites nose

Yeah ok, I’m a little more positive now, alright? You were right! #?%! women always wanting to be right…! /shakes fist
They’re going in the right direction. If, IF, we get to channel a badkitten huge dragon with effectiveness, I’m gonna be so so happy and fall head over heels for the revenant. i’m begging for it. I just want to fall in love with it, if they’ll let me.
GW1 YO

If anyone’s interested, there’s a river of tears currently flooding the revenant subforum, with engis and eles crying because revs got weapon swap and everyone, from guards (lol) to necros complaining they’re broken and better than any other class combined. I can direct you to the juiciest threads.

Can’t you just lay down your field, blast it, stack swiftness and then initiate the skip like every other person does, if the mobility when ooc worries you? Yeah, you’re not a wh warrior with perma swiftness, tough. Not everyone can be that.
You also got plenty of shadowsteps for when in combat. It doesn’t look bad at all, despite not being a thief or an fgs ele… but AGAIN, can we wait for next beta and Tagachi-san so we can give some feedback that makes sense? Please? You know, like for the last beta – when they actually listened and iterated because players had reasonable complaints and some empirical data to back them up?
I’d like that to happen again, if possible.

….. What the hell. RIP guardians? RIP guardians my kitten . They are superior in both damage and support. What game are you playing?

Too much of a floor scrubber for EU? Too good for this world? I don’t know, I no cares, all I can think of is… Shiro has delivered.
I guess he was like “take this, HATERZ”
Now I can supposedly play rev without feeling guilty.

Monk here I come.

OMG HOLD ON WE GOT IMPOSSIBLE ODDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Looks like they’ve been making some good changes, been hoping for most of them.
Good stuff. Can use double fwactal sword and staff. Gonna be op.

It’s not new, it’s just the most recent wave of it It happens fairly regularly — it’s the only way we’ll ever see red posts in here.

Gotta keep that hope alive! Let’s paint the front page red

Srs, fill the front page with red, then we can make a sarcastic post in general discussion about “all of the red posts in the dungeon forum” and how nice it looks. It’ll be grand.

Man.
Those kittening smilies.
Are you waving that red flag in front of my eyes on purpose? Huh?
ENOUGH RED I’M SICK OF SEEING RED STOP ITTTTTTTTT GAHHH

Btw, these

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Reaper-Farming-Machine/first#post5290058

are the threads they’re answering. I see they got time for this bullkitten! just not for dungeons or for addressing months old bugs.
Go kitten yourselves.

But, that boss is so hard! whenyourpartyaggroestheentireroomofrisenahemahem

kitten people, this is not amusing,.

Been playing necro for most of the day and it’s pretty fun. Had looots of funsies. Hell on skips tho, I barely make it everytime.
IF I make it.

Maybe after I get my hands on it with the Shiro Legend I might like Rev Better as of right now though….

I like the Jade Wind mechanic, that’s a nice touch. I hope Shiro won’t make some of the other legends obsolete though. Or devalue them too much. That would be a wrong step for the class.

What’s up with this anti-dps, anti-Shiro obsession? The forums are all like “mimimi I don’t want my snowflake special support role to be devalued mimimi I don’t want the dps legend mimimi”
The hell.

How are people calling the Jade Wind a “mechanic”? Isn’t it just an AoE version of Basilisk Venom? And Shiro’s heal the Thief’s Signet of Malice but with shiny floating green crystals?

YEAHHHH that’s what I’ve been rambling about on ts for most of the afternoon! Kitten, i keep telling myself: “Why the hell are we getting more gimmicky skills that are in no way very original and are only some boring ccs or on hit effects? Why not some good ol’ DEEPS if they can’t think of anything original?”
The aa on the sword seems at least fun to see and play, tho; let’s pray it doesn’t have a huge slow casting time.

Rag.3258:

Purple Miku.7032:

Staff #4 is not supportive. It is detrimental as it will override might generated by eles/warriors which last a long time. Don’t use it.

Pretty sure it doesn’t though? Short boons in general don’t overwrite longer boons, don’t see why staff 4 should be an exception. Have you tested this yourself?

Lulululul, stahp it!

/slaps lightly with handkerch—-rev’s staff

Will he turn the wet paper bags revs are currently holding into weapons?
Let’s hope so.

SOOOOO looks like Shiro is gonna have some useless ccs, kittenty damage… but at least some mobility in combat. Hopefully we won’t all die while WAITING for the mobs to die of boredom.

I have to point something out here… Shiro, in this image, is wielding four swords at once. Two in his hands and two… coming out his bum? (Talk about a bad-A swordsman! literally!)

I, for one, am looking forward to our four-swords adventures with Shiro.

Confirmed: new back piece – “twin bum blades”.

You made me blow air out of my nose quite violently.
Guhd jab.

“Guild Wars 2’s PvE gameplay doesn’t currently provide the kind of challenge which would make swapping to a strong support kit like revenant’s staff and the Ventari legend valuable, so the development teams want to address that with elite specializations, revenant, and unrevealed challenging content.”

/snort

Bane signet!

The lfg was “revenants welcome, monks welcome, paragons welcome”

We did get a monk.

P.S. Guess the class?

That mattvisual video is awesome, btw. Made me crack up.

And yeah, we got no tutorial. GW1’s tutorial was short and limited, but at least IT WAS A TUTORIAL. This game… zero. Nada. Nichts.
Anyway, whatever, I think they’re too stoopid to even figure out what combo is, and then too lazy to use them.

I say, the most disgustingly good thing ever… mortadella with bread. Like, not a sandwich – a huge slab of mortadella, a slice of bread, 2 fingers of mayo, some sliced tomatoes (for those on a diet, duh!), ANOTHER slab, some bread, more veggies, more mayo, more meat, MORE EVERYTHING and you just die there because your blood sugar turns you into a popsicle.

Trice.4598:

Omg deSade i remember a couple months back, my sister in law had been baking cake all week, leaving cake icing on the kitchen table, I would dip my finger in and eat it, until one night I dip my finger in (take a huge amount of “icing”) but it wasn’t icing, it was shortening, pure fat. I died inside and since then, I can’t eat cake icing.

Ughhhhhhhh, that’s pure evil bait.
Can’t look at food with the same eyes ever again :/

IT’S JUST BETA!
