They’ll be hard at release, I’m sure. The real questions is: will they still be difficult after 3 years of nerfs’n’neglect?
Pretty soon the raid bosses will start bubbling the walls, teleporting into them and going invisible for several seconds and teleport all the way to Singapore and back every time you move when they’re casting their shadowstep/teleport animations.
Then they will never get fixed or addressed, ever.
/solemn nod
I also bet they gonna keep autoattacking while invisible, for several seconds, and that they’ll shoot random projectiles out of their asses; also, pets won’t be able to do damage to them because of some special buff.

The animation isn’t clear enough, people can’t see it over all the effects and they kept overlapping my cloud with their reflects when I wasn’t calling it on ts. Needs a big visual upgrade.
You mean like avoiding the unavoidable 2-3 stacks of agony before mai trin? Orrr the 1-2 stacks while fighting? I’m eager to practice dodging that, because I’ve been failing at it up to this point. godiftheyreintroducedagonyasitwasbeforefractured /sob
They already reiterated that you wont’ need a specific teamcomp. If you don’t need a specific teamcomp with strict gear, it means the content isn’t tuned to be hard. Period.
Yahhh so… anyone that wants to join for raids? We got lots of forum pros and a nub (me).
Probably in the afternoon because we got a cook that has to work in the evenings!
They might as well just limit the raids to 5 people.
I don’t have 9 friends anyways.
Gather your fans, cat and your cat’s friends. I heard cat makes a good DPS for when you play druid.
/chuckle
My “fans” only seem interested in randomly (and creepily) pming me while I sit around cities…. “oh you’re the guy from the forum blabla I wanna slap your face with a moist towel”… Aight.
I’ll ask my cat if he wants to try out raids next week. /bribes with can of tuna
Man… shut up.. just shut the hell up. It’s pointless to keep yapping now. They don’t think this meta is ok, they want you to have healers and tanks… over. I’m glad my ranger looks a little like my good ol’ monk.
Wow the smokescale.
If you haven’t already, go check the chat of gw2 twitch channel – if… you wanna throw up your breakfast, that is. We’re seeing the “I play condi necro in fracs and I’m proud” parade atm.
My all time favourite up to this point: “You could play support thief and support your party with blinds, instead of being bursty dps”
!??!?!
I occasionally eat mango pie and sharpening skulls on my mesmer just to kitten such ^ l33t gangsta kids off. I suppose that makes me a sly and mean phiw gangsta kid.
And yeah, croissants too.
And I have to type with thiskitten#%NG cat sitting in front of the screen. thuglyf, liking cats. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Will-Reaper-have-a-place-in-PVE/first#post5522456
Will it?
I don’t give a crap about nourishments. I use them because they’re there, and if people aren’t ok with me using 9% potions or 60/50 food or even not feeling like it.. they can go kitten themselves.
With a chainsaw.
Maybe it’s the pug meta? I’d feel safer playing a d/f in arah, for instance. Higher carry potential? I dunno. It’s known that pugs always lag about 1 year behind.
It’d look great on my revenant if it were kittening smaller. It’s so huge and overpowering my fractal weapons and my poor asian baby are gonna disappear – crushed by that monster of a backpack. I wanna see my character, sometimes.
I don’t think it’ll require fracs 100, ironically. Keep in mind this is gw2; not everyone will be able to grind to the top… It’ll probably be some very forgiving fractal level, coupled with the maxed fractal mastery and so many mats it’ll make legendary weapons look cheap.
Oh, and timegated stuff. Something that drops in fractals and that is refined into something else with a 1-day timegate. Cus gotta love timegating.
Boxes that drop boxes with boxes in it dropping junk with a chance to get a box…
/falls asleep
Annnd that he’s fed up with drood.
It’s hilarious how they’re keeping this class for last, announcing it at this twitchcon and therefore increasing the hype/tension around its reveal… it’s like they’re intentionally shooting themselves in the kitten. Of all the classes, they pick the one needing rework. Fail, and everyone will be at their throats. Hah, good job.
… don’t wanna think about the possibility it’s so NOT ready they couldn’t make it pass as even close to finished (let’s not even talk about polished)…
I’m kittened because stupid pet won’t get buffed by anything. No spotter, no ea, no thingyrevenantsgive, no nothing. It ain’t kittening FAIR, it ain’t. You Iresomething Dev Withacrazy-Name: you better not kittening drop this one.
… phah, whatever, even my cat knows they’re not gonna address the buffing issues. It’s only relevant in pve, not in pvp, and only in situations where the player isn’t content with pewpewing from afar and the pet tanking.
You also have to consider that you can’t freeze, chill, cripple or immobilize bosses anymore. What would be better to keep a boss like archdiviner rooted for a long time than a ranger’s bear?
Y it lingers for around 6+ seconds so it’s not a big deal unless they increase the cd because spirits are too op /cough… what worries me is the pet but eh
I really hope they’ll give more attention to the “barely-almost-there” classes, because it sincerely bores me to see class stacking. It annoyed me in gw1, it annoys me in rpgs, it annoys me here. In all games, it’s simply something I don’t like seeing.
I’ve had just about enough of the staff ele/ps warrior meta.
… no I’m not delusional enough to think it’s gonna change much with hot :/
Nah, just gave up… Among the impairing and crippling defects I have, there’s also impatience and recklessness. Didn’t wanna wait. Meh.
…Can I have juvenile tunas? Please?
And can I get this stupid soprano to stop shrieking in my ears while I fight stuff, thanks… /slams multimedia keys – Ah, right, forgot I never managed to make them work. Whatever! I hate youtube’s “suggestions”.
Looks like the game runs even worse than before, but I presume my 200-700 ping isn’t on their end. I hope, at least. And I hope it’s not here to stay <.<
Aight, I did some testing and it’s hard to tell with my potato screen, but the closest I’ve gotten to the pics are silver for the metal parts, midnight ice for the black parts, illumination (hm..) for the yellow. Celestial for the inner part of the pants.
Sad to say, but the black part on the pants look to be veeeeery dark – not even midnight or abyss actually get close to that kind of oily black, reaching a measly grey… so I fear it could be shadow abyss. Buhu, bad for you. I’d go with midnight.
The yellow in the pic is a lil less bright than illumination, and less vibrant than daffodil – would need more research.
Also, the underbewb appears to have a very faint trace of red, so could test shadow red or midnight red.
Since the game is so slow and I’m getting desperate to actually dodge when I hit the “dodge” button, I decided to clear the cache folder and run a repair, in hope it could help a bit. Little did I know, I started doing the repair at 10 this morning… and as of now, 19.29, it’s at 54%.
I’m giving up. You win, alright? You WIN.
Actually, I’m feeling just fine atm. If they could just give a kitten about ranger bugs and kitten y mechanics, I’d be completely ok with the gw2 world. Burnt out, but I can always get high on toxic spores to dull the boredom.
Guh… drood… incoming… I may be either terrified or anguished
You see? Do you SEE THAT? I told you guards have some kind of… reverse hate for how much pugs get carried by them. Jesus! Hold your godkitten hyppogriffs! Rev is better, mes is better, blablabla… they all have UNIQUE mechanics. kittenmit.
Yeah, I keep telling everyone they shouldn’t camp lb and do a proper rotation with sb – and that they should keep swapping pets so that both pig and boar use their ccs on cooldown for all dem juicy ccs.. but nobody listens to me! Gah, bearbows so frustrating X.X
With how late Anet seems to be in pretty much every feature development of HoT, I dont think you should expect different types of Legendary Armor, but rather 1 model only.
They shall call it Legendary Outfit.
:(
Imagine 3 different legendary armors, 1 per weight class… but with the same skin. Lols. And obviously looking the same for each different species.
I see it happening with such clarity that I’ll be knocked on my kitten if it proves to be untrue.
Lol. It’s so ridiculous I’m not even angry. They’re literally making fools out of themselves… It’s soo gonna be a recurring joke.
P.S. Are we gonna get the legendary armor on release? or will it be… Soon? When It’s Ready? Is it On the Table, I wonder? … and wow, I like ranger, mes, guard and rev, it won’t be easy to pick one single armor O_o
(unless they make one model and you can swap both stats and weight class, ohh that would be so cool)
Yeah, I don’t know, I think I’d rather have 10k gold than solo the few things I can solo… how come soloing feels so dry to me nowadays? I’d rather play with my zombie frands…
Ugh. Makes me feel almost pro compared to that. How about stealthing in the 1st cannon phase and see if the additional pressure gets them killed?
And to whomever asked, I kicked myself out of sheer stupidity. The 2nd guy in party had to leave, but stayed in the instance. I managed to finish the fractal, pressed ready, waited for a bit, then since I’m so stupid the entire world can’t contain it I reacted out of instinct and tried to kick him so I could reinvite later. I know it kicks you instead when you’re 2, but I did it anyway. Realised what I was about to do a split second too late.
Had to wait for him to come back.
Basically, I locked myself out of my house and forgot the keys inside, and had to wait for someone to let me in. Genius. So worthy of me. In the end I deserved that ring, it would’ve been a tonic if I hadn’t been such a moron. I know it.
I soloed the whole 3rrd fractal and then I kicked myself out on the ready screen, LOL
Someone crown me as the genius of today… whatever, twas relatively fun anyway. I guess. /sigh
Instance recovered! /claps himself on the back
Update n4: got a lunaria. WORTH! Most rewarding content in the game!
That is.. arguable, since it was a lil weird that his aa(s) didn’t hit at all in melee range. Still, havent’ they said something like “we’re monitoring” and then did nothing?
Yeah, that’s anet for you. We don’t even know what is “intended” and what isn’t until they do something about it, and even then they may change their minds all of a sudden!
Offtopic, next time I’m soloing a fractal for the hell of it and decide to go “aahhh, let’s see what happens if I kill the molten berserker for last, I’m curiouss”, hit me really kitten the head with alphard’s bone—- bonewall.
Noooo, you mean you don’t enjoy 3-4 locusts spawns (twice) that kill all of your illusions!?!? Pfft, you see, it was clearly unintended, soloing is clearly an exploit, so you better start playing as intended and dust off your greatsword and pugging skills.
Make sure not to say anything offensive or hurtful in the lfg, so no “zerk”, “meta” or “ap” allowed.
