How can you fuck up so bad? Their combat system and art style was actually top tier, better than WoW ever was and better than WoW and ESO or any other moorpg is.
It's just those god damn items and no end content... How can they fuck up so bad?

>Is it finally dead?
No it wasn't dead one month after its release like people here predicted and it's still going strong 7 years later.

I'd say that tells us you never played GW2 and you are blindly hating it otherwise you would know what happened with GW2 threads here.

lol no, would be funny tho

Damn, those are ugly af.

Nope, more alive than wow or ff14, also better

Why don't you fags post some good skill icons then?

Is this why it's barely holding out against Aion profit-wise?

You'd never see them this large in game. They are easily distinguished at small resolutions and pretty expressive.

Guild drama, some faggot got so assblasted he invented a bot that spams the thread until it dies.
No way to make /vg/ thread, mods are supposedly """"helpless"""" to stop it.

Dude set up a spambot to literally post every few seconds in the thread - you'd hit refresh and there was at least 3-4 replies every 10 seconds
Supposedly he paid for someone to do it

It was because he wasn't allowed post porn of the little plant characters that look like kids

wow has tons of profit yet it is a shit game

because you don't need to sink money in the game to be able to enjoy it

You might enjoy eating shit, but the way a success is measured with MMORPGs is how much money it earns for the company. ESPECIALLY if you're a f2p-but-not-really-at-least-no-sub type of game.

/xivg/ really need this

>success is measured with MMORPGs is how much money it earns for the company.
right.

they don't have a floor booth at E3, dummies. they aren't announcing anything unless they get a spot in the PC game show and we already know the dev roadmap for the next year+ of the game so it's not going to be new info anyway

I mean, you said it yourself. It still makes more money than at least one of their other properties. It wasn't too long ago that it was making more than Lineage 2 as well. There have been MMOs less profitable than have existed for longer so I doubt it's going anywhere yet.

IIRC the devs said something about expansions being the most profitable thing for them and there hasn't been one for a while, so maybe that's what the E3 announcement is.

Gaming news sites tell me they have 2 booths set up at E3 2019.

oh did they finally get rid of all that shit?

though I feel like they weren't nearly as important these last few years, I stopped playing a few months after release and I still rmemeber all the fucking memes with that chick that used to be a guy named simon or whatever
but I got back in six months ago for PoF and I enjoyed it greatly, and I didn't feel any social justice moments either, so I'm guessing those niggers were already not taken seriously anymore

got any juicy links about those lay offs?

>Do you think they'll announce something noteworthy?
next xpac

They dont have an expansion or a sequel planned yet, so there's nothing major

that's definitely it, there's been rumors about an underwater focused expansion for a long time now since one of the dragons left to kill is the ocean one

and the dragon obviously has a chinese theme, there was books about cantha everywhere in S4 and the level is still displayed on the world map for the cantha region.
There isn't a single doubt about the next expac

>cantha
ooooooooooooh

damn I haven't played in months but I'm super hyped now

Lol, classy

Well thats nice. I guess I was being doubtful since they had some layoffs. But an expac would definitely get interest in the game again.

Personally? I just want a mesmer longbow professior.

this and the fact that if any piece of content will get people back to the game it will be cantha since asia themes are popular as fuck.

>and the level is still displayed on the world map for the cantha region

??????????????????????????????

No, don't. Those degenerates need a containment board, and xivg is just that. Hell even with that, they still spill to Yea Forums.

is pvp (both structured and WvW) still shit?

you mean game journalists told you something and you took it face value

since you're a scum sucking consumer who's never been to E3 let me explain it for you. anet's booths are both OFMR booths, meaning Office/Meeting Room, which are small quiet spaces away from the show floor

Gw2 just had its last season 4 map 2 weeks ago which is pretty good. No need to post news straight away.
Though I'm currently not playing gw2 cos I binged on it over the last week getting the new mount. Pain in the ass to get.

>I guess I was being doubtful since they had some layoffs
they threw diversity hires out
just look at the state of the story, the lesbians were killed then shoved aside as if they never existed, braham stopped being an edgelord and taimi was replaced by an more traditional asura
nevermind, I mixed it up with janthir's bay

I think this game has tapped into that same niche as WoW, where they have a bunch of whales chasing pretty particle spewers. This means that they'll never truly die no matter how bland the game is or what they do with new expansions.

It died when crown of thorns came out

Honestly many threads need this since actual vidya talk is is overtaken by waifu talk and VNs.

Gachas are okay but /vg/ doesn't need 2-3 generals of the same gacha for different languages. Control yourselves.

Waifu games with actual gameplay are okay like DoA, Senran, and so on. Although they have trouble keeping up their existance because of how fast /vg/ moves with shit general creation. Then those fuckers come over to Yea Forums and just spam waifu pictures for the nth time.

But VNs are not gameplay, and at the very least they should be looked at having a shelf-life because there actually is almost so much that can be talked about so would rather have the odd thread about them on Yea Forums or more relevant boards, /jp/ especially, then to keep them maintained for 200+ threads.

Mmorpg threads seem to share the same shitters though. Even on Cities of Heroes recently revived, there's fuckers who will derail conversations and talking about their erp/rping experiences in FFXIV with literal boipussies and dragon girls. Wildstar general would've died much faster if it wasn't for the fucker or two who couldn't stop posting pictures of his in-game waifu.

Damn...... I was sick of the forced romance, but I will miss her summer bikini

kasmeer is the mesmer right ? she isn't dead, the necro died and fused with her sword like some shit OC, but she never appear afterward.

they are turning this game into a time gated korean mobile device grinder. anyone who tries to tell you different is a suck boy or blind.

Ah, Marjoly - yeah she a shit. Really boring design and character. Kasmeer was more interesting in terms of outfits and personality, but she became needy bitch desperate for clam chowder.

>they are turning this game into a time gated korean mobile device grinder.
This user is 200% correct. Everything takes fucking months of grind now.
t. playing since launch

i can't post on their forums anymore for asking why salvaging(runes) is being put behind a paywall. also they are actively fucking with the loot tables in those RNG loot boxes. IE - polluting them with pure fucking shit.

Is it? You can just salvage them normally?

you used to be able to get runes by using salvaging kits. now, you must use one of their paid for by gems upgrade extractors, or paid for by gems salvage kit, or the actual paid for by gems rune salvage device thing...

You guys do know that you can make these, right?

wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Salvage_Kit

Mystic forge stones are also easy to get - I got most of mine from just reach 20K AP.

Actually they showed me a document in the article which has shown two ArenaNet booths reserved. I didn't know what OFMR means or did I care then. I'm glad someone explained it to me, I just wished you weren't such an absolute cunt about it.

or you can just by them from the gem store, right?

Are you going for the cheapo runes and sigils? Because Black Lion salvage usually preserves those runes and sigils. Unless you're salvaging greens and blues for cheapos then yes - they did to make it easier for people who are mass salvaging hundreds of blues and arares

They also revamped blues and rare items to be stackable by making them all unidentified

Yeah you can buy mystic forge stones from the store, but ike I said, I goes most of mine by doing achievement points

Also the mystic salvage kit is a lot more useful than the black lion salvage, which is only good for salvaging the occasional exotic

i don't go for any, now. and yes, i've been playing since the beta/headstart/early access. long timers are hardly affected, they fucked new comers in the ass though.

this shit is straight from mobile

there was a time we had to pretty much beg the devs to stop giving us salvage kits for log in rewards. i and many others had to start throwing that shit away to save space.

if i wasn't lazy i could probably find threads on the old forums about it.

I miss Wildstar bros. It did a lot of things wrong but the it's gameplay was the best out of all MMOs. At least in PvE.

black lion salvage kits cost 3 black lion statuettes which are 100% drops from the lootboxes, which AT WORST is 3 weeks of level 10 key runs

i have 4 character slots. all are level 80.
how do i weekly key farm level 10's?

where's your fifth for owning both expansions? farm gold, convert to gems and buy a sixth one?

not him but you can only earn 1 key a week this way, just keep a slot free and do the level 10 quest on a new character every week

you can use tomes to level up to 10 asap since you should have them coming out of your ass anyway. quickest storyline is the human commoner one

to be honest i have at least 5 accounts that i can remember since the game went free to play.
can't remember which ones have what unlocked/expansions. I can tell you it was great, great fun exploiting the portal scrolls to certain maps, completing them in 10 min or less and getting a FUCK LOAD of keys.
someone snitched and ruined that fun though.

That's not how QoL works, mounts in other MMOs are QoL, in gw2 they're a feature fully integrated in every aspect of the game, and some feel like a game inside the game.

No shit it's dead, the vast majority of the layoffs were all working on GW2. It's now on maintenance mode.

Kino

Pretty much. People who care about MMORPGs actually play MMORPGs. You always get crazies and fringe elements in those threads.

No they weren't.
The majority of the layoffs were on other projects now abandoned in favor of gw2.

Literally the best mounts in the genre. Not just a % speed boost.

>lead story writer stirred a massive twitter shitstorm and got fired
that's actually good. Story is shit after original story which was bad past first 5 missions.

Correct. People left are apparently the GW2 core team that was being shuffled around to other projects which in turn lead to episode delays.

I'd actually play this shit if I could get more than 6 fps on it. What the fuck did they do with the engine? I ran the game perfectly fine before I quit for a while. I came back and everything's fucked. What gives?

pretty much any singleplayer games that have a one/a few games or VNs should just get axed off /vg/ after a few months since they always devolve into circlejerks

This
Unless you are constantly high and just play MMOs to run around zones to mindlessly kill mobs gw2 has always sucked except for the jump puzzles

you need a system from 2012-14. if you have a current NASA tier system the game will run like hot shit

Last time I tried playing I thought the same. And something about the textures has always pissed me off about the game. Just looks like shit.
I try to reinstall it every 9 months or so, play 2 days and get bored out of my mind.

it's to the point you may as well just use ranged and auto attack occasionally firing skills off cooldown. if they don't lag

So many people gush about GW2 combat but I always find it to be one of the game's weakest aspects. The spastic evade/block/blind spamming and heavy focus on pure execution at the expense of strategy feels like something that could only work in a single player game.

>actually play this shit if I could get more than 6 fps on it. What the fuck did they do with the engine? I ran the game perfectly fine before I quit for a while. I came back and everything's fucked. What gives?

Their engine is a modified Guild Wars 1 engine. It's still fucking single threaded in 2019. It was meant to run instances with low number of players. They refuse to update from DX9 stating that their majority of players are on Dx9 cards. So no DX12 or even Vulkan in the near future. Guild Wars 2's data file is also a massive 60+ gigs and can overflow your CPU's cache and will fucks your RAMs

Attached: gw062.jpg (1920x1080, 291K)

>They refuse to update from DX9
I think most if not all the people that worked/know the engine are long gone. The ones left don't have the knowledge to make such drastic changes without completely breaking stuff, they only script events/collections/cutscenes.

no one said a fucking word about pay to win. it's MOBILE GAMING TIER SHIT. if you can't see it, you are a fucking retard.

then wheres the issue?
they sell particle shit so they can earn money for a game that DOESNT cost anything monthly.
and unlike most games like wow and ff, in gw2 you can buy this stuff with in game gold aswell.
what about that is mobile tier shit?

i paid for your free game, years ago before it went free.
many, many others did as well. so I DID pay a fee.

>what about that is mobile tier shit?
how many ways are there now to salvage/extract runes?
THAT is the problem. as well as some of those ways being fucking RNG based.

oh and if you want p2w, just buy the super rare only from RNG lootbox that can be sold on the trading post, endless upgrade extractor!

>Kasmeer was more interesting in terms of outfits
Yeah I bet.
For how much the living story party was quirky and supposedly sjw the Cleavage Queen sure did show a lot of skin. Maybe that's empowering too, I don't know.
But regardless, Commander's old party has been pretty irrelevant for a while now. They're mostly backdrop save for Taimi, and even she doesn't do a whole lot. Rytlock and Caithe have now lot more presence.

>how many ways are there now to salvage/extract runes?
About 200-300 if I'm counting my black lion salvage kit charges, probably 3 times that if I count the ones I deleted.

and when you get that infusion that is worth 1k gold you're going to use that RNG kit to extract it, right?
btw, those kits were changed. lol. they now exclude infusions.

what the fuck are you actually talking about?
its buy2play, and doesnt charge a subscription, instead they use particle shit to pay for servers, workers etc. thats a good thing.
>endless upgrade extractor!
you dont even need that item, it literally doesnt give you any fucking benefit. you dont even know what pay2win means.
get yourself a fucking brain.

you bought the game got all of its content.
that doesnt mean you deserve the right to get each upcoming and added content into the game. somehow they have to earn money for a subscription free online game.

are you a fucking retard or what?

give arguments you fucking subhuman.

If you unlock them on one character on Path of Fire, you unlock them account wide even on new level 1 characters.
LOTS more speed to travel through maps on new characters, easy vertical traversal, fast movement over bodies of water, skip huge swathes of land full of combat with flying.
They basically make traveling to a new place a near complete non issue when in many mmorpgs traveling is dull downtime doing nothing that really adds up in the end.
Additionally any new map designed after the inclusion of mounts takes mount traversal into account which makes them a lot more interesting because you can have more open spaces since you don't have to walk everywhere, and include changes in elevation easily and organically.
PoF and LS4 were honestly pretty alright in no small amount due to mounts specifically.

>arguments
you know where you came from, go the fuck back and stay go.

Runes are salvageable now. Can freely swap runes and sigils in legendary gear.

25s Fractal extractor, did they stop working or something?

I'll add that all runes (minus dungeon ones i think?) are now craftable.

>it's very very very old now
It's nearing on seven years, sure, but I feel like it holds up really well. It tires to avoid feeling like it was released in 2012 by dropping some design choices that were maybe more common then but feel odd now, and adding new stuff.
But, that might be just because I've only played a couple of more recent Korea MMOs, tried XIV which is pretty archaic by design, and Secret World which is its contemporary but dated (and dead).
I really don't know what a modern mmorpg should look and feel like.

vaccine uses

because they want to be super special with their thousands of particle effects even though every other retard is doing that too

No that looks amazing. There are two ways to play dress up in MMOs. Either you make a sensible looking character, or you up the ante on the tacky and gaudy so much that you make the usual "look how much I've played" christmas trees look bland in comparison.

Conspicuous consumption, simply put. MMO devs realised from very early on that the gaudiest colours and shiniest effects should be reserved for your most autistically obsessed players.

Great, the two final episodes combined is what an elder dragon fight should have been from the start, and the new map is cool, getting the skyscale is a fun treasure hunt.

does it cost a lot? I had fun getting the raptor but burnt out getting bunny and skimmer and stopped playing shortly after that. Then Had fun for a brief stint getting beetle

it's like dragon's stand but good

>istan nerf
Welp there goes all my desire to play gw2. silverwasting is so fucking boring.

you burnt out getting 15g and doing 2 shitty hearts?

it just felt like a chore like everything else in that damn game
at least beetle was fun with racing

I think the latest map is pretty dull. Thunderhead Peaks was fun, however. And the Skyscale hunt is ass. So fucking boring, I really don't get it.
Otherwise LS4 was good.

auric basin is where it's at

It's not expensive in gold, but it requires a fair amount of season 4 materials (which you can get from the latest map, but it's pretty grindy to do it that way).

the latest map is literally one giant meta, you build up to fight the final boss then fight it, once he's beaten you do a boss rush accross the map for 20 minutes, then everyone is TP back at base and start over again.
There's no wait, sadly it also means it's the current most efficient way to farm and killed pretty much everything that isn't tarir or istan

I dunno, I've been doing it without a guide, and deciphering the hints, studying the map and asking around in chat is fun. I really enjoy treasure hunts in general.

sounds like you just outgrew MMOs, all of them are chores when all's said and done

What's the gold per hour at the new map?

So basically it will be like all the WoW Classic "home" autism general threads on Yea Forums where the majority of posts are from a bunch of redditor rejects spamming frogs and wojacks while jerking each other off about how much they totally hate *generic WoW eceleb*.

Far right needs to lose the glasses then she's great

I think it's around 15g an hour without following too closely, the major point is how many yellow chests you get for exotics, and I don't take volatile magic into account because I'm a hoarder.
Didn't really do the maths, but you easily get way more gold than anything else beside fractals

GW has 2 beat in armor appearance diversity and the ability to not be a horrible looking mess with different sets on. Anet even realized this and made all the newer armors one entire piece that goes over your existing shit.

Oh and don't forget that Char and Sharkteeth still have clipping on the majority of non-cultural armor.

Can we still go in and play GW1?

The sad thing is it wasn't always like this for every class. Old Engineer used to require huge amounts of skill and strategy to win fights with, you'd typically run 2-3 kits and have to combo skills from them all to win any fight. Spontaneously coming up with shit like big bomb - magnet - crowbar to win fights was the pinnacle of gameplay and you'd rarely use the same skill combos twice.
Then core Engineer got nerfed and Holomancer turned the entire class into a braindead two weapon rotation

I was an officer on the /vg/ us guild HOPE and I really do miss it, besides for some spergs and a handful of girls with their 1-3 orbiters who had their own gay little cliques within the guild we all had a really good time shutting down the WvWvW jumping puzzle and doing dungeons and shit

HOPE still around boy. I'm in it.

Its already a wow clone, stripping off the only vestiges that resemble gw1 would make it worst so just stick to wow and don't push your shit to any variation of the formula cause that's what ruined the mmo scene

dumb treadmiller. just go back to wow where you can replace your entire gear 5 minutes into every patch because bigger numbers turn you on

>He thinks GW2 doesn't have a gear treadmill
See you next time ANet releases a stat combo which is just objectively superior than previous ones.

next lws, along with that new currency to farm.

I tried to get back into GW2 during when path of fire released and even then HOPE was dead as fuck

Get ready for the NCSoft Axe.

>introduce a lot of skills that require precise timing like block and dodge
>make the combat into a clusterfuck of special effects
>add a large scale content to make it into even more of a clusterfuck
What were they thinking?

It's nothing like what happens in WoW style mmos and you know it. All stat combos use the same amount of points and the only reason new combos can be superior to others is because the itemization on most original combos sucked aside from power builds. The new combos just enable new kinds of builds or bring non-power roles into parity with the old standbys like berserker.

I hope they add cantha in LW season 5 that way it is a bunch of disconnected and half assed maps and nobody is happy

you fags are worse than classic wow fags, just let it go already

But that's wrong.
Ascended berserker stats on a greatsword are 609 in total
251+179+179
Marauder, Viper, etc are 666 stats in total
215x2, 118x2
Put this extra stat advantage on every piece of gear and it becomes very noticeable, especially in WvW

Is istan no longer viable for making fat stacks or did a better farming route become available? I visited istan and even checked lfg squads and the place was a ghost town

Its the only good MMO i ever played and still play time to time. Have a lvl 80 Mesmer and Necro that are my mains.

Best and most interesting world
Best leveling
Best story structure
Best combat

I just bought Path of Fire and am getting into it again and theres still tons of people playing and even old maps are always full of people.

didn't they just reset some gear so those stats can be picked or something?

got nerfed

That's sad. Back to silverwastes then?

this pic is double funny because gw2 has no hexes what so ever

and the reason for that is...to farm the new area!

>af

typical facebook speech you must be 12 and already banned

Because their points are spread among more stats and distributed differently. It's still weighted the same as any other stat combo. Celestial has even more overall points because it's spread into 7 different stats but it's generally a garbage combo. Notice Marauder and Celestial are both vanilla combos. None of the new HoT or PoF combos break the mold when it comes to objective power.

The only thing they can do is highlight builds or specific stats that may have been more powerful but went unnoticed because of shit stat combos which is it's own thing. It's still nothing like replacing your entire set every content patch because a berserker set with twice as many points is now available.

Cantha is the only thing that will bring me back at this point. Factions was my first GW experience.

Don't forget that the block and evade skills are affected by the aftercast cooldowns of other skills like the auto hits, so they usually fire a second late anyways.

condi builds are innately superior to power builds because they ignore armor you dumbass, meaning viper not only has more stats, it's objectively better
power builds were only recommended for newbies because of berserker being extremely accessible

Why are you pretending like you know anything about the current meta? There's plenty of top tier power builds for PvP and PvE.

Aside from that when was the viper stat combo released? 4 years ago? How many times has someone had to replace their viper set with a new viper set that just has straight up more points? Never? Right because it's nothing like WoW's gear treadmill.

for newbies. learn to read.

>How many times has someone had to replace their viper set with a new viper set that just has straight up more points? Never?
0 because ascended armor is ascended armor is ascended armor

Why would anyone even run Viper's over Trailblazer's in PvP? Last time I checked some classes were actually running Carrion's as meta.

Some classes and builds just can get away with it. Most people want that extra vitality, but if you think you're hard enough then going full damage with vipers or berserkers is still something you might do.

How do I level up fast in this game? Open world is boring as fuck. f2p btw.

I sincerely hope cantha is never visited in gw2. I don't want their stupid fanfiction-tier writers getting anywhere near it.

it's too late for that. everything that happened there was basically undone in the pre-release 'info dump'

Buy the expansion and get a lv 80 boost

>tfw we never get to go home

Gw1 already had fanfiction tier writing so who cares what the new writers do.

WvW. dont buy anything unless you are committed to the game.

Sadly I'm not stupid enough to shell out $30 each for 4 and 2 year old expansions.

wvw is disasbled for f2p until level 60. That's partially why I wanted to level.

true
my greatest fear is something similar, i.e. that the Norn actually do get some love at some point.
With Braham, one of the worst characters in all fiction, at the center.

Near trannys and lbgt shit always be restless.

Please never forget that shitty Scarlet arc.... never forget it.

I've seen 3 or so guilds with the HOPE tag. What's the guild's actual name?

also you used to be able to hit level 80 by crafting, dunno about f2p limits. i remember getting characters to 80 in like 3 hours with boosts

fuck you

Attached: flop.webm (702x394, 195K)

pretty sure you still can, but they changed it to make it so going from 400 to 500 was necessary to hit 80 through crafting,

I know cooking can net something like 7 levels right now. The other crafting options seem pretty expensive though.

that's...actually a really good point. I do want to go to Cantha again, but I don't trust these writers.

It will only die once their gem store mount and outfit skins isn't profitable anymore.

Meanwhile wvw alliances and other fixes will stay as promises

Go be a shitter somewhere else. Hell, you already have that in wvw, so why do you need to make spvp the same? Equal stats mean only skill matters, you don't get to have a crutch over others just because your friend boosted you to better gear.

But there is only one VN general unless you count those autists who think every western VN needs it's own general (KS and DDLC)

Are there any gw2 communities out there that aren't a bunch of carebears or anet cocksuckers? Official forums seem to have resetera-tier echo chamber moderation. Reddit is full of retards who only talk about the gem store.

Most top builds in pvp are power based, fractals only ever use power builds, top benchmark dps for raids is a power build. Retard.

How much of a disadvantage does f2p have in pvp and wvw?

how did they manage to make the most important characters in the story also the most annoying ones?

huge disadvantage in pvp, most meta pvp builds utilize an expansion tree

>pvp
You don't get to play the expansion elite specs and use expansion ranger pets. There are a few decent f2p builds and core thief is extremely good in the right hands.
>wvw
You're a bit fucked but if you play something like warrior you can get away with vanilla stats. Still no access to some runes/sigils but it might work.

i dont like gameplay like the necromancers because it feels like slamming 1 - 5, switching weapons then repeating.

Thief feels infinitely better.

pretty easy, they're shit writers, who are especially shit at writing characters

You clearly don't know what your skills do then if you're wasting boon corrupts or unblockable CC for no reason.

People really play this trash?

They have the most defensive fanbase I've ever seen. It's like they all notify each other as soon as someone says something bad about it and gang up on them. I would bet half of them don't even play it anymore either.

That there's top tier power builds is literally what I said.

I played the sand necro recently in pubs, I mash some buttons, lay down some shades and they take so damage so quickly that I don't even have to think about the mechanics.

You're damn right about that. The community is ridiculously closed minded about a lot of things despite them always pretending to be so open and friendly. For instance bringing up questions about how to level quickly always summons a pack of retards who try to argue that you should level slow as fucking possible and derail the conversation.

Most of the playerbase is extremely casual and they don't know what they're talking about. The people who really play the game a lot and go deeper into it have a lot of criticisms for both the game and devs. But here's the catch: most criticism you see on the internet is literally written by people who only played at launch, aka ages ago. Most of that shit either no longer applies or it never applied (when the game is new nobody really knows how to play or abuse the system properly). For example, see how many people in this thread say that the combat is just a chaos of particles and there's no strategy and you can't possibly understand what's going on. It's literally bullshit because once you get used to the game you're able to recognize pretty much any ability that is being used and you can play with a clear plan in mind.
>power builds were only recommended for newbies because of berserker being extremely accessible
>now there's no excuse to not run around in full viper's bladed armor
You played with people equal to your skill, i.e. complete newbies. Hell, you don't even know the name of the spec. Scourge gets absolutely fucking gaped by any competent revenants/rangers/whatever if it's not being babysat by a support, and even then they both need to kite well and use shit like no-port spots (places where people can't teleport onto you).

Also, there's a fuckload of things I could criticize about this game like the fact that each expansion tried to powercreep everything with new, badly designed specs, or the fact that the story is pretty bad (at least if you compare it to proper RPGs), or the lack of communication from devs. There's a lot of bad things in GW2.
My bad then, I got confused.

Roughly from people I see I'd guess it's something like: Guardian > Warrior = Ranger > Mesmer > Necro = Ele > Thief > Engi > Rev

I'd put Mesmer way down below Necro. And are Rev's that rare?

they released some info on this some point after PoF came out, but there's nothing up to date unless you use gw2efficiency; that only counts the accounts tied into that, though, not every single character that exists.

I wonder how much the writers were seething after they found out their unique super special OC races were all eclipsed by generic pretty human female.

It's the most overpowered pvp spec and people still somehow can't play them.

GW1 remake with some GW2 mechanics, YAY or NAY?

It's even worse because in the story humans are supposed be beat down and fighting for survival of their race.
Their own fault though, with how much they advertised the game as casual trash it's really no wonder that there are so few autists.

Sword 5 is even stronger, user. It's a port that gives you slow AND chill, which are one of the most annoying condi in the game, and then the second hit can spike you for almost 10k damage. And this is on top of all the other insane bullshit revs have.

I don't care that much for sword 5. It has short range and is slow enough to be dodged reliably. Phase Traversal + the 4 though, it happens way too fucking fast.

Sword 4 can be seen though, they pull their arms back before hitting. Deathstrike has like no animation and with quickness it's easily fast enough to hit reliably, especially if you have any cc on you. That's beside the point though, the offhand sword is completely busted and I will never understand why they reworked it. It's even more aggravating when you realize that axe offhand already has a port skill except it's strictly worse (as in, it's balanced). Everyone kept saying that revs just need some utility and condi clear and anet of course kept buffing damage for a few patches straight and called it a day. Now a monkey can play this.

spellbreaker is the unicorn thief of warriors, braindead infinite dodge spam, wait til enemy has used most of their cooldowns, stunlock and burst. then if the enemy has an iota of skill pop rampage. the fact that someone would claim spellbreaker is somehow honorable and off meta is hilarious. if you want off meta play condi longbow and sword/warhorn core warrior

Thats a retarded point, people join guilds and experience the content somehow, if you for some reason can't do it it doesn't mean its impossible or even unrealistic.

How do people farm achievement points? I found out its the only way to get laurels on a f2p account.

Woah you just walked out in front of me...

I am around 12,5k playing since launch, I've only seen handful of 35k ap monsters

You may call him a retard but he still singlehandedly killed your general and there's nothing you can do about it.

you can try it with any of the tiny/big potions or Elixir S to see the effect

so how do you farm achievement points?

pretty much dailies and just doing cheevos
you're pretty much fucked for laurels without daily log in rewards

I never participated in that general, I found out about that when I went to /vg/ to discuss the game, it was already fucked so I missed nothing.
Sucks there's no place to talk about it though. We could have learned how to play tp together and shiet.

Containment boards don't work retard. They never did and they never will.

>lead story writer stirred a massive twitter shitstorm and got fired
She wasn't even a good writer. GW2s story sucked.

I don't think there are any that are efficiently repeatable. You get 10 for dailies. You just got to do them. Look for ones that seem easy, I don't even know how many laurels you get from achievements, probably minuscule amounts, I didn't even know you get them from those.

Wildstar gameplay was fucking garbage. They should have just made it proper action combat instead of this gay ass half assed telegraph system.

any news on that new lineage game?

You need to be a sweaty try hard with not only meta gear, but a meta build and you also need to have an exact rotation of skills and their timing memorized. Otherwise expect to be kicked if anyone on your team is running DPS meter.

what context you stupid fuck how the fuck else do you get achievements points if not achievements? fucking inbred gibsmedat.

It's pretty funny how anet used this kind of gearchecking as an excuse not to implement an inspect feature in game but it still winds up happening anyways.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUMBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLEEE

There is actual "gear checking" in GW2 but it's done via a website with some sort of account code. It's stupidly convoluted and some guilds request access to this before they let you join. It lets them see not only your gear, but your inventory and bank as well.

go ask mommy to buy you the fucking expansion already, underage.

i can confirm that yes, i can tell right away how good or bad you are based just on your dps and i often kick people from my groups cause its very selfish of them to bring the rest of the group down because theyre trash or want to be carried

>youtube.com/watch?v=_hXn_iLE7_Q

is GW2 worth getting into?

I will admit that while GW2 is an absolute fucking failure under the Guild Wars name, if this game got released as a new IP I would say it has by far the best Mount system of any mmo out there right now.

They could've released this as some kind of an exploration sandbox mmo and it would've been a fucking great game.

Instead we have some kind of semi-theme park borefest. Imagine if you could claim outposts as a guild and waged actual wars over them.

>go to your arenanet account page, generate a code, copy-paste it
>stupidly convoluted

Yeah, it would be an okayish game that doesn't rape the GW lore

The API support for this game is actually quite impressive though.

Yes, because there should be a mechanic for all of this in game if it has to exist, rather than going through a website. NCSoft did this same shit with Aion and it was hated,

Its in the best state now that its ever been, and has an absolute shitload of content for a brand new player. honestly, its kind of overwhelming just how much shit there is to do now for a new player id imagine. also its fun despite its flaws and especially in spite of all the triggered gw1 boomers who would hate it no matter what kind of game it was

Probably not, mmos in general aren't.

I'd argue that Archeage has better mounts.

just played 3 hours of WvW after a few month of GW1. God this game is shit and dead. GW1 feels more alive at this point. Here is your average GW2 daily schedule:
>daily fractals
>daily achievement (if you are mentally ill, you're probably doing them everyday)
>daily crafting (same as above)
>daily collection
>disconnect because there is literally nothing fun to do

here is your GW1 daily schedule:
>check zaishen quest, do them or not, it literally doesn't matter

Can confirm, as a literal GW1 boomer.
It's alright. It's a very good MMORPG for casual play because it doesn't demand your entire life to experience vast majority of the content unlike some Korean grindfests. Gameplay is surprisingly slick for something like this, but not exactly deep on a basic level.
Maps are generally fun, or at least pretty to look at and with interesting stuff. Expansions did a lot with events to make them better and make the maps feel more alive. Vanilla story is garbage, later content marginally better, but mostly due to how its presented rather than due to actual writing.
It's just a well relatively well presented and polished themepark. It lacks what made the original good, but if you can look past that as its own game, it's okay. Can't say anything about the PvP though. It feels like shit from the little I tried and I've no desire to get into it like I did in the original, even though it is just as hassle free.

>another djinn
Well, I liked "NO! QHADIM!", so not complaining.

I actually liked the early vanilla story quite a bit. It was fairly standard stuff but the choices actually felt somewhat interesting and the writing wasn't awful. The mentor characters were all likeable. Then Trahearne appears and it all turns to shit.

i respect and commend you for having developed an opinion on the game that is founded on actual evidence and experience and not just autistic boomer screeching like what tends to pervade in these threads. and the truth is, i agree with literally every single point you make.

Companies are terrified of doing pre-wow mmos again. PvP centric mmos died with Warhammer online with GW2 as a half-assed attempt. Koreans jumping ship to mobile. No idea of any mmorpgs coming out on the horizon besides Pantheon.

Just to think, having 5 digit populations in pre-wow mmos was considered pretty good. I think people buying too much into the classic wow hype, but if it does well, companies will look outside the box again hopefully. And fuck PvP. Just concentrate on dragon slaying and utility classes again.

They're doing Season 5 as a bridge to Cantha.
Literally what else is there? Where would they place an expansion that dealt with Jormag and Primordus? The map is kind of full in central Tyria.

>Playing WvW during off peak hours.

How retarded are you?

it's peak in EU fag

I want to FUCK Kas

Wait when the fuck did Majory die? I thought she just got forgotten about.

GW1 was trash

the problem is that nothing feels rewarding, you grind or do things 10000 times for a miniscule chance of anything dropping.
Loot is literally 2 greens and a yellow garbo that you salvage.
There's no reason to do anything..

go back to taking that war god cock, jory

Mentor is the only decent thing about vanilla story. And I guess Rytlock if you play a charr.
Later story developments improved a lot by removing the cutscene conversations and making the game an ensemble cast so it's not just about you, even if you are the Pact commander and shit. It works even though majority of the characters aren't actually interesting or even fun to have around and speak, it just makes the story feel more alive.
There's also less general jank to it.

I think that person is getting margerine confused with her sister who died, margegine and kasmeer have both been pretty absent from latest stories though

This. Make sure it's a casual guild too.

The issues with pugs are
>the base population is players who learned the strats with a guild and just want their weekly clear on a boss they've done 50 times
>thanks to this everyone asks for 500 killproofs
>depending on how autistic they are, 1000 killproofs to make sure you're one their own kind
>full of DPS meter autism since the "top players" have nothing else to due with the absence of gear grind
>not doing the damage to kill the boss in 1/3rd of it's enrage timer will result in a kick
>thanks to the dps autism most of the strats have devolved into shitty dps cheeses to skip major mechanics
>bad groups bang their heads on a wall with half the raid dead from a sneeze
>with the possibility to fake item links everyone is paranoid and angry all the time

Just get a guild that'll let you play and do the raids with them. Pugging is not worth the headache.
