You've got the wrong GW my man, nothing in 2 is remotely original

I'll give you Ritualist and Dervish. The rest of the classes, however, are more or less DnD standard.
The REAL beauty comes when you add the secondary classes and create unholy unions of broken shit.

>That one cheeky shit in RA who used this and wiped out both his team and ours at the same time

Nobody cares about this game
Remember when they abandoned it for a game nobody wanted or played before going cash shop route?

I played this quite a lot but was, as always, disappointing in necro having temporary pets.

You get it all wrong
You can't say a particular class is original or unusual in GW, it's a matter of build.
Monks are "just healers", nothing original as a class, yet I have yet to see a bonder-like playstyle in any other game.
Same for rangers, they're just "hunters", but then you have touch rangers or bunnythumpers.
Ironically enough Ritualists are actually boring and unoriginal as hell (no, spamming spirits is not original at all) and dervish used to have some cool shit (mystic twister bomber) but it got destroyed when Anet reworked them.
Then you also have team comps in high level pvp.
I can't say I have seen anything remotely similar to EoE spikers with 7 necromancers killing themselves with sacrifice spells at the same time to btfo the entire enemy team in an instant just as they walk out of their spawn.

gw2 is a massively popular game and no amount of boomer tears will ever change that.

cope.

is there a sale or something going on?
also does this game still run on dx9 and a single core?

it would be even better if it got into their discord.

why the hate bruh

Necro minions in GW2 got monkey paw'd hard. They're persistent but nowhere near as potent or fun to use as their GW1 incarnation.

because this kind of race in mmos is always the worst
>Asura
>Gnomes
>Lalafel

hate them

And they're so ugly... give me a rotting skeleton damnit

Agree to disagree- the one thing I like about gw minions is that they're not just stock standard skellies or zombies

Flesh golems were so awesome in GW1
I remember being so excited when I first capped the skill
Flesh golem in GW2 are a sad fucking joke

So you didn't play it ? I find some specializations from the expansions pretty original.

>capped the skill
Skill capping in general was fucking cool. GW1 pve had some neat ideas. Having to find and kill bosses to capture elite skills. Having to win favor in the hall of heroes before your region could go into UW/FoW. Cool shit that wouldn't fly today because retards and casuals want convenience over good gameplay.

How is scourge fucking original?
>drop an AOE
Wow so original it's never been done before
Meanwhile necromancers in GW were 55/600 farmers, condition-based spikers, contagion suicide bombers or infinite energy healers
Actually, your example pinpoints perfectly what I think is wrong with GW2 classes : they literally feel like a MOBA character's kit with one main gimmick and a bunch of skills articulating in the most basic ways around that gimmick, and NO WAY to change your playstyle from the few spells you inherit. no matter how much you ""customize"" your character, whether your run berserk or trailblazer or whatever new fotm stat repartition gear, your scourge will always play the same

I'm still pissed that they never released new realms of the gods

Play holosmith or reaper. Theyre easy rotations that kill trash mobs fast and you wont ever die in pve land. DD, FB, and Chrono are all extremely hard classes to master (for a new player) and FB+Chrono have extremely complex rotations and utilities.

why no give the 1hp bipper credit.
playing a battery slut for eles/whatever was comfy.

How the fuck do I get this game to run decently? I bought a new gpu a couple months ago, and suddenly this game no longer runs at the usual 30-40fps, I get like, 25 max even on lowest settings. It's fucked

fucking terrible optimization keeps me away from playing it

set everything to low.

biggest issue are other players
set those character limits to low

oh yeah, if the gpu is more powerful than the one you replaced it's probably downclocking itself. if it's nvidia, force some shit in the control panel. keep eye on temps etc..
this game is CPU bound so the most important thing is single core clock speed.

Yeah, that's probably it then, my CPU isn't nearly as up to date as my gpu. fuckk

sauce?

all you can do is tweak settings until you're happy with performance. people with nasa tier shit have problems as well so don't feel bad.

How is GW2 PvP compared to BDO PvP? Im aware BDO has other problems but I want a comparison of just their PvP

>try gw1
>unless you do a perfect build with 7 perfect heroes you're fucked
>all of the game content is to walk from A to B
>in the middle of those you have groups of mobs tweaked to fuck your party
>the most interesting content which is eotn has level 25 mobs while you're fucked to 20 max
>reviving is useless since you already got fucked, can't change abilities and literally nerf your team until you just run back home
the only reason people saw gw1 is good is because they dragged themselves through this awful content to brag about it, nothing is fun in gw1, nothing

Fucking this. I thought WoW players are retarded (at least you can check their mythicscore) but when I started playing fractals I wanted to kys myself because people are standing in lava and they are braindead even on tier 3. This blows my mind.

>here pick a class
>now press 12345, weapon swap, 12345
>need some content to do that in?
>lol here is a cycle of world bosses to zerg

shame any cool ideas were completely wasted on that car crash of a game, my man.

The only person holding the pvp scene together just quit the game like 3 days ago so i assume its dead now, but it hasnt been in a great place since maybe like HoT days. Dont play gw2 for pvp alone, its a shitshow. Wvw is a ton of fun and still has massive communities of players on almost every server tho.

T3 fractals hold the worst players in the game from my experience. T4s are significantly easier because a much larger percentage of the players are good players. T3 is a hell only the most dedicated make it through.

when that happens, if it's a pug, insta-leave.
that is lazy players wanting to be carried through shit and of course the under 12 population. if you even try and be helpful "please don't stand in red it's bad" or "this fractal mechanic works like this" you'll be vote kicked anyways.

>here is your game
>click buttons
This game sucks

It is
You just missed the actual GW
NF and EOTN are a OP PVE skills / try hard PVXwiki hero-only lonely and terrible experience
Real GW was up to faction and what most people remember fondly is PvP, especially GvG and the absolute shitshow that were the random arenas with silly meme builds
I'm a veteran GW player, started with Prophecy when Prophecy wasn't even its name, and eotn made me drop the game
It became unrecognizable
Dungeonshit, titlegrindshit, OP standardized PVE builds (le cryway faec, le ursanway face)
Fuck Anet, fuck NF, fuck heroes, fuck eotn and, more than anything, fuck eloniggers and kormir

I should take your water

I guess it depends on what you want from the game.
For example, people who like to raid will enjoy the challenges of every zone more, I think.

Seriously, they need to make a minion master elite specialisation. We need more and diverse monsters and spirits for the necromancer. Or even go so far to bring back the ritualist with it.
Their addon releases are too far apart.

>what most people remember fondly is PvP
I didn't make a note, but I'll never shit on GW1 pvp which may be the best in existence even today.
I'm a completionist autist, I just want to unlock every skill, get every hero and get every item
sadly I'm also a turbo casual, which is why gw2 is way more fitting for me since you can literally buy the legendary items

GW2 could have been so good
Instead ArenaNet can't hire good writers to save their life, they split their dev time floundering between 3 different modes instead of picking one and making the other two essentially a mod of it, and can't manage a proper and substantial update schedule since they rely on cash-shop money instead of subs.
I just wanted Elite Specs to be dual-classes++. Instead we get trinity roles in "totally not trinity roles!" the game

cope

dilate

I've already coped with the fact that GW2 is led by incompetent designers and directors.
I stopped playing it shortly after PoF and realized that elite specs were never going to be what I wanted them to be, that PvP was never going to get the support it deserved and that the PvE and Mastery system were going to be relegated to basic-bitch implementation

get ready to jump ship on this game. they're adding more automated content to put the game into maintainence mode; everything else has been neglected. only thing they care about is the cash shop.

No news on an addon or something?

GW1's Photoshop-tier skill icons will always be my favorite part of the game.

anet stopped talking to their players not long after they fired one of their employees for calling a top content creator an asshat on twitter.

fuck no, they never planned for a scheduled expansion every two years like HoT/PoF did, and expected to continue adding living shit in their content cycle since their asses were focusing on their recently abandoned mobile projects. even after the firings they stated that they will continue into season 5 with "expansion like content" with each living world , but given how short and shit each living story is, i doubt Anet even knows what they;re doing. =

now that season 4 has "finished", the story's going nowhere, players are left in the dark, and the game's only pumping out and automating events.
> dragonbash is still going on
> winds of bazaar bullshit after

beyond that, radio silence from the developer itself besides news of recent items to buy. the game doesnt die with a bang, but with apathy. anet has expressed its apathy long ago. ween yourself off this game and play other games user

pretty sure that all the ones with people pictured in them are devs/fiends/family etc. max comfy.

The 4 necros 1 druid fractal meta when that one minion didn't have a fixed lifespan and you could have a billion by just healing them was fun.

Man, what a shitshow that was. All those people coming to her defense even when she was in the wrong.

I don't doubt most of them are like that, but this one for sure

Sounds quite bleak to be honest. After all these years it's easy to point the finger at things which went wrong on their end, but there are just so many. It baffles my mind what they did to their franchise.

I've stopped more than a year ago and the writing was up to that point utmost terrible, a complete disaster. Too many asspulls, characters you don't care about, disjointed appearing and leaving of some characters.
So many plotlines have been left to rot in the dark, like the Tengu, the war cats (I forgot the name) in the north east, the floating castle and Cantha.

Makes me also wonder why they had to stick to a fucking crew for all episodes. They should have done mini-episodes with new characters which just leave after that specific episode. Nobody cares for their cast and it only brings problems with voice actors not being available and having to rewrite parts because of that.

Whenever I think about returning, this shit comes back and leaves a foul taste.

The game is a mixed bag, it really isnt so black and white like people make it out to be all the time. Theres a lot to really really love in it, and there is an absolute shitload of things that make you just feel anger and hatred. It does some things that no other game out right now does, and it also does a lot of things that are just par for the course in mmos by now. Im a completely dedicated and veteran player at this point, i play every single day, and im well aware of whats wrong with the game. I also loved gw1 all those years ago, and i feels all those pains people feel about the game. Yet, i still find so many things to really really love about it. Its the worst game i wish i could make others see the beauty in too, but i wont pretend it isnt extremely flawed in a way that justifiably makes others resent it, especially old fans of the series. Hell its probably just sunk cost fallacy for me at this point.

That is one of the things that I love about GW 1's story, really. Each story is self contain with their own heroes that you buddy up instead of sticking with cancers every fucking run. Braham, Caithe, Taimi, Rox shit and the lesbians can die in the fire. Those fuckers outstay their welcome

God damnit, thanks for reminding me of the bundle of bullshit that is the sorcerer's castle
Shit just hung around in kryta for no reason except to be a set piece
They bring it back in GW2, and even hint at sinister underpinnings, with people being brought to the castle to get transformed into servile elementals
And STILL they don't let us access and explore it
Not as a dungeon, not as a raid, not even as some small instanced event
This game has far too many red headed stepchildren that anet loves to ignore

We'll never go back to Cantha because ArenaNet's gook overlords hated it. They had a whole Canthan district in Divinity's Reach, but it got nuked by NCSoft.

i have dumped more than 400 dollars on this game
i literally can not stop

I honestly can't imagine that that's the reason behind it. This sounds like a meme that ran loose and got copied to cope with the fact not visiting Cantha anytime soon. #

I got another one for you, these winged water people we never meet again apart from a couple of missions in the base game, fuck sake.
Kind of pathetic that they didn't make a fractal about the floating castle at least. They could have at least told a story of plebians running against the gate or a siege where the wizard just takes off with it. Anet is retarded.

Well according to the talk at the time, there was some sort of outrage from Asian communities over the fact that canthan architecture is a blend of many different Asian cultures, rather than being just inspired by a single style. It still sounds like bullshit to me, but that was the answer I found then.

Also, yeah those fucking butterfly wing dark elf knockoffs. I always figured we'd see more if/when we got around to dealing with the deep sea dragon. But that ain't happening so pbbbt.

you would never fall into these frstratin gating loops at the peak of factions bcs people would always help you out or guide you. even when you are not in their guild

That's just it. You can still play the game, but it'll never be the same as playing it during its prime years.

and somehow still more likeable than 70% of the cast
