So I’ve never done much in WvW until my most recent guild, and I’ve spend a fair amount of time there recently. The thing that drives me nuts most is the thieves. I keep getting killed by thieves before they are even out of stealth, and if for some reason I survive that, they dodge or kill me before I can even take a swing.
I don’t see how this can be considered anywhere near fair or balanced when I don’t have any chance of defeating them at all, unless I somehow know that the invisible thief is about to attack me, but even then I wouldn’t stand a chance.
Yes, something should happen with this. They are the only jumping puzzles I have left and it is really bugging me that I can’t finish them.
HoT is easily possible to “solo” – in the sense you can run around and progress. Even with a staff elementalist. But realize you will have to join in for the meta events. You don’t have to party up for them until you hit Dragon’s Stand — but then you will be invited to party to do the big runs. As for HoT personal story you can do that solo right up to the very end…where for most players you will need help.
Easily soloable even with a staff elementalist? I would love to see that done easily because I tried that. It is not easy and is barely possible at all. Sure, I ran from point to point and survived, some of the time.
I agree that the story is soloable until the end though.
If they added the ability to use the special (gem store) gathering tools from the shared inventory slots it would be perfect, as opposed to having to swap it in and out.
As an elementalist, I can’t even tell when skills I’ve used anymore. I shouldn’t have to memorize the skills I’ve used in a complicated fight. I can’t tell anything about what effects others have used because the visuals are almost non-existent. It is embarrassing. ArenaNet clearly doesn’t have any interest or care about when the community thinks, as long as they get money from their ESL leagues and crap.
Another small tip – Don’t use a Norn (or a Charr I would bet). It is a lot easier on something small like a human or asura.
So I’m replaying Gates of Maguuma for the achievements. I’m on the second section of it. Problem is that my allies are hardly helping. I’m in the area with the dust mites, and the clues, and my allies are only helping if they are attacked directly, aren’t helping when I get attacked, aren’t following me, aren’t helping revive me. It is aggravating! What is happening?
I also can’t help but facepalm that something as harmless as flying around as an airplane sputtering, “VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!” is insensitive and offensive. However wielding daggers, rifles and pistols to kill people is perfectly fine. Historically, those are much more dangerous and have hurt many more people than airplanes ever have.
I agree with this. Once I realized what was happening I thought it was hilarious, but then I’ve always been able to separate my fantasy from reality.
In my opinion, the real tragedy in the recent plane crash is that no one noticed that the pilot had suicidal depression, and that he, in his suicidal madness, didn’t think about the fact that he was murdering ~150 people. But that doesn’t mean that people should avoid mentioning planes for fear of offending someone.
