Fractals are pretty much the only remotely interesting content left in this game after 8k hours. And even then pretty much only reason why I do them is so I might accidentally get a tonic some day.

An optimist, I take it? Or simply can’t be bothered to restart anew with another mmo when there’s still this one and no other game is as interesting?
I hate starting from scratch everytime I hop games… I mean, sometimes it’s fun (rpgs…), but in mmos IT ISN’T.

P.S. They’re playing cs:go but I HAVE TO tell someone how kittened I am, so kitten it, forums it is. I was eating some yoghurt, right? kitten as hell, but there’s nothing else in the fridge, not even a sliver of cheese… anyway, I start slurping it with enormous grace – slobbering all over my keyboard, when all of a sudden… look! there’s a tiny droplet of it on my hand. I really have the grace of a st. Bernard…

Excuse my outburst while I die from poisoning. Write “he died with his armor on” as epitaph.

Soooooo… thursday? You think?

Yeah, FL is awesome.
I kinda have to update mine because Grimm is a jerk and never joins… what a jerk. Jerk.
Will get around to doing it sometime around this year, when I play a little more reliably… as of now, I’m content with reading my old posts.
I really am a crazy son of a kitten. Look at that, dem mood swings! :o

/reads miku’s posts

I have abt 400

I say, just kittening take Josh, bind and gag him (but his littlefingers have to be mobile so he can work), slap him on a chair in the deepest and darkest basement anet has and make him finish all 4 SAB worlds. Then take them, put them together, slap a, I don’t know, 30e price tag on it, and MAKE IT A kittenING STANDALONE GAME.
You’ll see people flocking to buy it. Imma bet by left buttcheek.

Basically my ideal boss… I’d probably ragequit after a few seconds. That’s THE kind of gimmick I despise. That, and buggy AI.
“And you started playing ranger” yeah, yeah, I know. I couldn’t help it, I just fell in love with her. Whenever I crush on some girl… I crash and burn.

Annnnnnd they’d do nothing…

Weird, really, considering he’s a Kitten I mean, The Kitten.

SlyDevil.3952:

“until the community has had a chance to formulate and standardize strategies”, 3rd post gave it away, would have been a zerk meta mention if it was recent.

How the kitten do you find these threads? It’s like a gold mine that was already emptied out, but you go on an adventure just to stare at the walls now empty of ore veins.

Yeah, that’s what we were forced to do on schooltrips.
“Kids, we’re going to see a mine!”
“Ooooh, awesome, will we see some fossils or stuff like that?!?!”
“No, they’re already been dug up and taken away, there’s nothing left… BUT we can climb down 20000 mts of gallery with filthy and slippery soil just to see some drill holes; if you’re lucky, you may even break an ankle!”
(and it did happen yes yes)

Annnd guess what? I dropped the fractal sword.

Found this happy fellow in CM.
Was told that we are skipping the trash after Gunpowder Morgan but somehow he interpreted that as: Let’s run in and aggro EVERYTHING!
When confronted about his Leeroy Jenkins like habits and inability to read he threw a little hissy fit.

On the side note, what is the point of blocking someone and then continuing to spam them? :/

Holy, that is really rude. Can you tell me what you told him? If you were more or less polite his reaction is really out of this world. Luckily, I never had such confrontation in this game.

Dude, his reaction would be out of this world even if he told him to kitten off.

I’d have 2, please, one to pick up my brain and the other to taste my salty tears.

Why am I so broke and never drop anything, why??!?!?!

Offerande.5240:

Mesmer will always compare a Guardian. Often this is completely beyond compare. DPS Mesmer whit Full Berserker and power runes, have very high DPS and speed. Incidentally, best what I have not my main. That is a Warrior, full ascended and with Legendary’s weapons. I am playing very little with it, no idea why. Thank you all for the comments. But I’m still looking for a PVE guild I am now in WvW guild, not really right for me Well fun, full PvE meta in WvW

Grrrrrrgghhhrrr.

I do have the feeling they go like “You don’t like it, so we’re not playing with you anymore :<”, sometimes…

P.S. Make sure NOT to watch Kynodontos, if you don’t wanna have nightmares.

I’m not sure why is aetherpath even brought into the equation? I’ve done it on release, and I’ve never been so bored, annoyed and frustrated at the endless gimmicks, the unskippable dialogues and just.. all those stupid things you had to do. You had to pull x thing to y so you could damage the boss, jump on z thing so you could avoid y effect… so freaking lame… never had so little fun in the game.
Well, ok, some jps take the cake.
In no way I’d call aetherpath better than anything, not even with a stretch of the imagination. It just sucks. I knew I would’ve hated the guts of it the moment there was that kittened part with the electrified floor. Figuring out what to do with that buggy thing while standing on those pillars… oh my god.
If that’s what the new gw2 dungeons would’ve looked like, I’m almost (almost!) glad they stopped. I want to FIGHT stuff, not jump over platforms and lure mobs to pressure plates and all that bullkitten.
Ok to some gimmicks, but they went completely overboard with it.
Also, there’s no smart way to use that – for example, no effects you can use to your advantage. You can only solve the puzzle in one way. It’s boring.

I redid a gw1 dungeon a few months ago, and no, it wasn’t because there were more, even though it helped a LOT. How many dungeons were in eotm? 13 or so? plus the élite zones. That helps, but it’s the sense of “kitten I wiped, we’re gonna get in trouble if I don’t find a way to fix this” that did it, for me (to hell with consets, I’m not counting them).
You know, now that I think about it, the mob packs in eotm’s dungeons were simply tougher. They could smoke your party in a few seconds, especially with heroes. Their skills had more variety, their ai seems to be a little different. Like, the enemy warriors trying to spike your squishiest party members et similia.

Why do they have no energy management skills? I felt so limited in which skills I could use…

That “plz nerf water fields thread” is amazing, and opens up so many possibilities…

Anyway, I wonder what they’d want from content, then! if a deadly boss isn’t acceptable. Perhaps for everyone to play celestial? :/ Hmmm.
But then they’d complain there’s no diversity.

I didn’t mind trinity games at all… well, I didn’t mind gw1’s trinity because I think monks were just awesome to play. I think it’s mostly nostalgia due to the fact that it capitalised on my strengths. Like, I’m not very smart (/cough understatement) nor great at positioning, but I used to have very good reflexes and performed well in the backline; all those short cd, short casting time skills and the energy management made it pretty exciting to “catch” a spike or predict where the damage would fall. Also the mentality of “save your party” or “play for your party” or “sacrifice for your party” was very easy to assimilate.

GW2 kinda put me at a loss, meaning that it used to feel more selfish. Everyone for himself, do damage and try to survive, run around like headless chicken with no care about positioning front/mid/back… I guess that’s where all these lost people come from: they have absolutely 0 knowledge and understanding of the game and don’t use their assets to the best of their abilities. Or perhaps they do; that’d make them inept.
Or dumb. Owell.
Everything in gw2’s support is more.. subtle, unless we’re talking about huge purple bubbles or whatnot – and even then, people don’t know what’s going on most of the time. I think it may be partially due to the absence of casting bars. God, I miss casting bars. But I can see why they were removed. More action, less reading.

So yeah, dunno, it’s good not to have to wait (I suppose? never had to) and I like doing damage and having things die quickly, but I don’t feel like gw2’s dungeons are so much more exciting than gw1’s. Playing trinity, despite the shortcomings, didn’t feel boring at all, at least there; it felt good to have a.. place in the world. Dungeons were fun, and unlike in gw2, you actually risked wipes and failure was a little more punishing.
Pre-conset era, of course… consets completely sucked the fun out of the game for me.

May also have been because of this thing called protection magic… and holy hell was it fun. Preventing damage instead of taking it? Guard, sign me in.
I’m glad we got at least this in gw2. Some protection.
I wish more classes had more original ways of preventing damage. Why do necros have to tank it with that stupid ds?

Then I wish we had longer, tougher, bigger dungeons to actually put the protective magic to use <.<

As a zergburger player, I demand to be able to heal, tank and survive damage as much as a full soldier warr/cleric guardian. I want to have 25k hp, 3k armor, 1500 healing power and be able to heal the entire party whilst doing crazy 100b damage for 40-50k+.
I’m sick of sacrificing defense, of going down in one hit and being forced to play dps while all I want is to melt things and HEAL my party.
Monks in gw1 could spec for damage and heal, could they not? we should be able to customise our bar more.
I hope the rev fixes this problem and FINALLY makes zerk tank viable.

IrisTheCasual.3742:

Don’t be salty on me when I flame you with your abysmal addiction to a terrible weapon. Not that we ever get to play fractals anymore lately :\

On that note, yesterday I opened an LFG for “50, No underwater Mossman. No carry. No free ride”. The group was filled almost instantly. Under suspicion of some quick-fingered merge, I asked if any of the new comers actually read the LFG and what it was about. A guy answered me with: “Shut the f—- up, b—— and get on to it (the wisp)”. Without saying a thing, my friend and I entered our emergency protocol and abandoned the instance at once. The rude guy didn’t forget to chase after his victim (see pic below), only to meet with total annihilation. Body was burnt and ash scattered. So long.

What a nice guy.
He must’ve been a 1spammerstackincornerzergburger. That’s what they do, right? I got told that’s what they do.

I wonder what phiws would do if anet ACTUALLY listened to them and made extremely harsh encounters with lots of “interrupt or die” mechanics, extreme degen that requires healing and lots of attacks which make zerk impossible to wear….

Paradigma: “Twinkleding: take unavoidable 1k damage p/s for 60s” or “Doodedoo: aoe unavoidable skill that does 25k dmg on a 1200 aoe if you don’t coordinate 5 interrupts within a 1.5 window. TWICE”.

Would there be… “YAY FINALLY I CAN PLAY REV VENTARI IN FULL CLERICS BWAHAHAH I FEEL USEFUL! Gear diversity!!!!!!!!!!!!!1” threads? Or… “Hammer warr OP!!!” threads? Orr..
“Omg this is too hard!”?

I wonder.

DPS numbers like what Nike provided for sinister sets are incredibly valuable raw numbers that I can relay to ANet to get things fixed up for them, but other anecdotal feelings that you all have are all also very valuable.

I’m kittened because I dced and deleted one of my stupid little narrations and here it is, our pug.

As you can imagine, my hair went white and I died of spontaneous combustion as soon as I saw… that.
The Predator was cool, though. Especially at the ele source…

It’s not about knowing the content for me, it’s about being bad ON TOP of being a detriment to the party ON TOP of ignoring party’s strategy ON TOP of being a huge kitten.
Just kick.
And block.
And burn their corpses.

Whenever I play revenant I feel like a victorian lady slapping someone lightly with a laced handkerchief.

Or, if we talkin about hammer, I feel like toying with a pinwheel.
Not that I don’t like playing…
/blows on pinwheel

Can we have a weapon that does soap bubbles?

Oh, also the resistance when using mallyx skills, that should be baseline too. Mallyx is a gimmick, a huge one, and it needs resistance to fulfill its gimmick.

And 8 SUCKS, needs an improvement. 9 is hell on earth and I have no idea how to make it less painful.
Stability needs to nullify the skill, and so does defiance.

Extreme.8350:

I havent played it much myself but the damage seems to be fine
Cant expect it to out damage a warrior.

That’s the feedback they’re getting, pretty much. Useful. Then there’s the horde of whiteknights claiming you can’t comment on an unfinished product (better hope it’s unfinished…) and the forum warriors that would want the forums to be a wasteland with only 2-3 people talking (the ones they like/agree with).

How to get ’em to listen, well, perhaps whining and stomping feet is the right way. But on reddit…

It had already been said: this class has a distinct gw1 concept, but it’s flawed.

- Energy. Very gw1, but huge flaw: there’s no energy management. This is absolutely non-gw1. Anyway, you cannot regenerate it and it’s very limiting, with some skills that have a huge cost AND

- a cooldown on top of that. This is screwed up. Some skills have 15+ cost AND 20s cds. I get it, they’re afraid of rev being op, but which other class has such big limitations? Thieves have: no cds on weapon skills, no ini cost on utilities and a way to generate ini.
“Oh but it’s not rev that is underpowered, the other classes are op!” kittenmit, who’s the moron that would suggest reworking 8 classes instead of 1 at this stage in the game? Gah.

- Because of these 2, there’s forced legend swapping for energy.
Now, I find myself having just enough energy to get by most of the time, so it’s not a huge problem but, well, are you supposed to “barely” get by? It also needs mentioning that I’m talking about simple pve’ing, how well is a revenant gonna do when pressured by other aggressive classes in pvp?

- Mobility, disengage, self-defense: all.. not so great. Revs are, again, a glacier. Another class that has the mobility of my cat at 2pm. I suppose they love the concept! /snort
So, ok, they’re tanky… but what about poison. What about stun locks. What about evading/disengaging (ofc they got no vigor, see how that worked well for necros). They’re supposed to “tank” and “heal” through it?
Staff 3 is good, ok, but you’re not supposed to be camping staff!?!? Oh wait, riiight… no

- weapon swaps: and this is just amazing. Because you also got no

- utility swap, and this combined, with the presence of presumably 5 legends, implies that you’re ALWAYS gonna know, with some limited accuracy, what a revenant has equipped. No surprise, just… boredom.

You have ONE weapon that is good only in certain situations. You have TWO legends that are extremely specific, with a fixed set of skills and a level of proactive..ness? whatever… equal to -1000.

I cannot see how to “fix” the rev without providing huge changes and literally iterating on the profession. I’ll exclude weapon swap, legend swap, utility swap et similia from the equation, because no matter how well-meaning I am, I’m not gonna believe in them making such big changes.
What’s left, well..

- Most current minor traits should be baseline. The ones in invocation, firstable. Instant legend, stun break, the stupid healing orbs (so kitten useless…), all of that.
- The minors in salvation should be baseline in Ventari, also some major and stuffs. The stupid healing thingies should give regen and swift baseline, with chance to other boons. Healing effectiveness should be baseline. Gm trait with more healing fragments should be baseline.
- Most traits in mallyx line should be baseline. Condis on hit, baseline. Condi duration, baseline. Condis (not only torment!!!) applied to you and then transferred when in élite demon, baseline.
- Retribution: on dodge traits could be baseline. More vigor, because that is what “tankiness” is in gw2. More retal, MORE. Boon duration, baseline. Tiny damage reduction, baseline.
- SHIRO IS SUPPOSED TO BE AWESOME, with crazy burst and damage modifiers and group buffs and.. I’m dreaming now.

Then they should be given new, decent traits. And new, decent, reworked skills in Mallyx and Ventari.

Yeah, despite all this, I seriously doubt they’d get even close to “op” or “dangerous” in pvp, cus that’s all they care about, right. Ezportz.

Was that long enough? I’ll make sure to down tons of coffee and… whine some more later.

Now is our chance to give feed back when Anet might actually listen and improve,

Seriously?
… like, seriously?

I know its hard to believe. But they did actually listen to feedback and make changes with the necro between the first spec preview and second spec preview. In particular blood magic. It does happen sometimes! Maybe not in the best way possible but it does happen!

They’re not gonna overhaul a class by giving it utility swap or weapon swap A FEW MONTHS BEFORE RELEASE (ehhh, probably more than 6 months)!
The hell.
And don’t think this class needs any less to be decent, because at its current state… it’s the CONCEPT ITSELF that is wrong and doesn’t work, not some kittening skills that could be simply changed a little. And we know that’s the only thing they may be willing to do.

How did the change of concept work out for the necro so far, huh? what about the ranger’s sword?

WE LIKE THE CONCEPT SO IT’S FINE, IT’S UNIQUE!

Gah, I’m sick of this. You want to see if they’re alive despite those kittening kitteners never showing up, go ahead. I’m not gonna care. I took the whiteknights’ advice: don’t like it, don’t play it. If I weren’t stuck with this godkitten piece of wreckage of a game because I can’t find any other mmo I like…. ghhhhhhh

Wethospu.6437:

Just prepare for every other profession getting heavily nerfed!

They’ve already suggested this in the HoT cessp-subforum. We good. At last, the zerkspam1stackelitist tyranny will be over, thanks to the amazing… erm, 1k or so heals of Ventari.

Remember kids, IT’S A SUPPORT CLASS IT’S NOT MEANT TO DPS

I’m considering buying an identity repair kit for my warr, steal her name (it was my monk’s) and put it on my revvie. Wurf!
I mean, when I have enough money <.<

P.S. 2 more good things: staff 3 is amazing and I love staff 5 against a wall.

I love staff so far. They should ditch the healing on staff 4 and make it a power-based weapon instead of sword. With Ventari Tablet, we don’t really need any healing from weapons.

Yes! I never use staff 4, it’s bad and clunky, unneeded and locks you in place.

To dloony: it was immersion-breaking for players. Socialism, yay!!!!!!!!

…
Someone help me… Zeus, take away my ability to switch to other subforums! Jesus christ, the zerk hate is going too far.

“it’s not that the revenant has low dps, it’s supportive, it’s the other 8 classes that have too much damage with no drawbacks”. Yeah, let’s kittening nerf all the other classes instead of 1.
This is taking it too farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

/sigh
It’s time you realise that pumping out volatile and unpractical 800-1k heals every once in a while isn’t in any way useful while dungeoning and does NOT compensate for awful personal dps, limited access to ccs (in particular soft), clunky blasts, little offensive utility and absolutely no group buffs.

Y’know, tanks and healers aren’t really all the rage anymore.
