Why did you stop playing Guild Wars 2?

no matter what you intend to play permanently, i implore you to try out the midget race first. their starting area is very special

Tanks were never viable for some reason. There's no way to hold a boss on you like in GW1 or WoW, so it just becomes praying your healer keeps you alive

RP scene died and is now just full of gay futafags and got human house wannabes. There used to be tons of variety to rp back in the day but now its just as dead as the content.

I just need something to hold me over for WoW classic. So no lategame shit

Tanks are viable, it's just that Guardian tanks are not. You can build a support class full tank and still be useful, such as Herald or Chronomancer.

it's great for that. i think it plays like fable but if it was made by competent developers

>I have never played the game I'm complaining about
Either that or you must be stupid.

got sick of the shit

Because it's fucking trash.

I hit rank 3 on the fractal title before I got bored and stopped playing, so I know what I'm talking about. The only class that ever wore toughness was Chronomancer, and that was a very long time ago.

Barely any endgame content.

In my opinion the game is great and has alot of content. However the events you see in the open world are usually zerg events where you just have to press 1. Boring.
Still I think everyone should give it a shot. If you don't like it just uninstall and move on.

Fake news. Raids are great and the only thing you can complain about is that they are so few (7 wings).

I got too busy irl and couldn't play for a few months, after which I didn't really get the urge to pick it up again. Also because I was in a WvW focused guild, and that part of the game was dying and mostly ignored by devs at the time

You are a retard who quit like years ago. Things have changed and there are tons of maps out there. The game has its problems endgame isn't one of them.

burned out on the skyscale farm

Setting and gameplay is shit

>have to pay to get subclass.
LOL

Name 1 free2play MMO where you can compete at the top level without paying a dime.

Hint: You can't.

Removal of the holy trinity with no systems to replace it removed any kind of teamwork or synergy and turned everything into a bumrush, as someone who typically enjoys playing healers/support classes I couldn't have found it less fun.

world of warships,you retarded tranny subhuman trash.

Because I did most everything, just waiting on next expac or living world or whatever the hell is next

when's the last time you played? 2012? the game has healers and support now.

When did the game come out?
That's when I last played.

its literally 4 days

just jerk off or something

2012. why the fuck are you spouting 7-year-old opinions? none of it is true.

Game came out 7 years ago. The problem you listed has been addressed and fixed.

This guy fucking nailed it already, thread over.

>why the fuck are you spouting 7-year-old opinions?
OP asked why I stopped playing.

Because I never started. Is it fine to jump into right now or are the servers dead? Would I need to play the first to understand the lore and story?

GW2 assrapes the lore from the first game, so dont worry about that. It's still very popular, but keep in mind you will need to spend about $40 total for both expansions if you want to do the endgame.

but then Yea Forums calls me the C word.

Games population is fine for the most part. You don't need to know anything about the first one to play this since most of the important characters from GW1 got fucked over.

unironically looking forward to the announcement on the 30th
kinda hoping it'll be a new expansion, or atleast a new patch with expansion-like features

cunnylover?

Traversing the jungle maps from the first expansion with the mounts from the second expansion is honestly one of the most fun things i've ever done in any MMO. It really makes you feel like you're adventuring in a big, vast jungle.

Other than that, the game is pretty crap.

It’s pro-leftist tranny SJW propaganda

Because they got rid of the two-profession and level system from GW1. They took away the very things that made the series stand out from other boring grind-fest MMOs.

It's pretty soulful to me. The art direction is the one thing GW2 nailed along with the mounts. Shame combat sucks

>combat sucks

why do people spout this meme? the only MMOs with better combat are TERA and BDO

compared to other popular MMOs like ESO and FFXIV, GW2's combat is way more engaging.

I only come on for the living story stuff and any story. Im too invested in the story now. Otherwise i just play something else.

Beetle best mount no contest
Fuck the skyscale was a pain in the ass. I even did it before they nered time gating. Still pissed to this day.

>Teleporters to every inch of the world
>Mounts
>Glider things
The world feels small, there is tranny shit going on.
Im just gonna play ArcheAge once its re-released, if its shit i'll an hero, its my last hope :)

I'm not sure, honestly. In my opinion, for awhile it was the best roller coaster MMO without a doubt. I really appreciate being able to do anything to level up at any time just about. I guess by now I'm personally just sick of current MMO's and want a very different formula from them.

So why would I play this over TERA or BDO?

wvw was the most fun i ever had in an mmo

but ultimately i was left feeling like there wasnt enough depth to anything i wanted to do and the crafting in gw 2 was a serious, massive turnoff when im usually happy to be a craftslut in mmos

shame

I love its verticality
fuck trying to get Tier 4, though

well, TERA is dead, and BDO is a pay2win grindfest. they may have better combat and sexier women, but they fail at everything else.

flying with your griffon through that map literally feels like you're one of those na'vi from the avatar movie flying through the jungle on one of those winged beasts

wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle

don't let women design your games

Alright but what's good about GW2?

I bought it and played it for a week. Not huge on MMOs but enjoyed WoW casually and fell for the hype. Game just got boring and the friend who recommended it to me would barely fucking talk to me in game.

I dont think you know the meaning of the words you use user

I wish they'd optimize their shit

not him but
>it runs better than TERA
>it actually has dungeons and raids unlike BDO
i enjoyed GW2 its my second fave mmo next to DDO
i still have it installed but i hardly play because utlimately desu famalam mmo's are flawed at their core design 99% of the game is a casual single player rpg and 1% is waiting in queue for casual "coop" experiences where you barely communicate with people
i cant be the only one who is a mute who sees the 5 guys in a group of 40 that actually chat or try to get some socializing going and just think "damn, mmos are filled with antisocial people"

read the thread. or just play it yourself, it's free.

Its free
You can do whatever you want
Cute plant girls
Feet errywhere
Looks good even in 2019
Nice class diversity
Crafting isnt over-complicated ass

no oce server

Because I got really drunk while playing it one night and ended up getting so sick the next day that I had to go to the hospital because I felt like my stomach was melting. Now I think of that when I see guild wars 2.

Games are becoming more and more antisocial in general. Games like destiny 2 which should be a very social experience to out of their way to make it as hard as possible to interact with other players. Shit, you literally have to opt in manually to even talk to your fucking team. On top of that you need to use a third party app on your phone, or use a shitty reddit discord in order to do end game activities or find a fireteam to do other specific activities with. It's getting worse and worse as time goes on. There's a few other games I could mention, but destiny and mmos are the best example you can use for games actively discouraging social behavior.

>just play it yourself, it's free.
>Its free

I was asking what it had over TERA or BDO specifically. They're all free.
What in particular makes GW2 good?
I could be convinced to try it out, should I bother trying to recover my old account or does it not mean shit anymore?

because the gameplay is atrociously bad

Skills restricted to weapons, shit dungeons (fractals) and raids, dumb PvE meta of stack zerger gear and autoattacks, shit endgame. I like world bosses, exploration / jumping puzzles and the instanced PvP was pretty good. Also some of the gear in that game looks sick. Stopped playing around the expansion though

It's alright, I guess

The botspam guy IS a furry. He was so mad that people would refuse to put up with his gay bullshit that he started nuking threads.

That's 100% a matter of taste.
Personally, this is the only track that stood out for me after Soule left:
youtu.be/JEggQjJPAAk

Guild Wars without the 8 slot 1000 skill system is just bad WoW. There is nothing separating it from every other generic theme park MMO.

Hey man we heard that this mesmer trait is OP so we disable the whole node, hope everyone's happy!

How the fuck do you get condi gear? You need fucking Viper shit and the only way to get that is grinding your ass off.

>feet
can you hide the armor or is it locked behind micro transactions?

>be autistic furry
>get bullied in the gw2 general
>make a bot that makes it impossible to ever have a gw2 general ever again
how can one autist be this based?

its locked behind the most expensive piece of armor in the game :)

Because it sucked at launch and it sucks now.

MMO's are so fucked in the head about what makes players want to play an MMO that even the fanbase for these games don't want to socialize.

An MMO should have players constantly interacting with each other and not bar it off, it's just so fucking gay.

Attached: billy2.png (803x899, 947K)

Oh shit sorry, I didn't know that part. I just know I took one look at their general once and it was somehow more disgusting than TERA or XIV general which are just ERP.

craft the cheapest armor, then convert it into Vipers. should cost about ~100 gold worth of materials.

Don't make Fulgurites.

Make any other kind of armor and then use Viper Insignias to transmute the armor.

>feature creep on expansions-only made old maps obsolete
People still do the world bosses in old maps all the time.
>>PvE rewards are generally shit, all good new armors are gem shop only
You can't get any items with stats off the gem shop. It's all skins, which can be bought with gold

It got boring. The core gameplay doesn't really change that much once you grind out your weapon skills.

Chronomancer was the best MMO class ever conceived, then they fucking murdered it in it's sleep.

No, but I mean for my personal enjoyment
For instance, the HoT masteries are jank and broken compared to how fun the PoF masteries are.
I'd really like them to rollback their new Mastery design philosophy into HoT
>It's all skins, which can be bought with gold
Yeah, but in a game with as much consideration for player skill as GW2, skins hold more value to me than stats

the most overpowered MMO class ever conceived*

ftfy

the most fun class is Weaver btw, if you were wondering.

Holosmith is the most fun, at least to me it was.

Thought you said Chloromancer.
God I wish RIFT wasn't dead.

RIFT deserved to die after they made you unlock the earring slot with real money and started selling raid gear in the cash shop.

Is Guild Wars 2 the most hated MMO on v?

>druid tank wasn't viable
>daredevil tank wasn't viable
>tanks weren't viable except this one class that wore toughness
Yeah okay bud, so you never played the game.

Someone posted nice characters from the game in the post your char thread yesterday. Was refreshing to see nonfurries for once

It didn't deserve to die, and it didn't die of natural causes. It was a good game but Trion murdered it with decisions like that.

got my account banned because the cd key I bought was from some scammed credit card or some shit

nah that would be retail wow

Druid and DD aren't tank classes, and you completely ignore that there's no mechanic to make sure enemies solely target you.

HoT raids were too easy and pvp was a boring shitfest even after hitting plat.

Yea Forums hates it because it isn't a direct copy of GW. Admittedly the release was not great but it's in a better state now.
It's still got the best combat of any MMO.

granted, this was on release and leveling was fun but the endgame content was awful at the time

when they started selling expansions for the game and never put them on sale, AND have a cash shop

i bought the base game when it came out at $60 but now you don't even have to BUY the base game, and i got literally nothing for it, not even any in-game currency to play in their shitty microtransaction shop.

Combat means nothing when the entire rest of the game is garbage.
Yea Forums hates GW2 because GW2 is pure trash in every regard. There is just nothing to fucking do at all. Dungeons practically don't exist anymore, they were shit and not lucrative from the start but anet still nerfed the gold from them repeatedly until people just stopped bothering. Raids are utter trash and unrewarding. Everything is unrewarding.

Literally the entire game of GW2 is summed up as "2 blues and a green". That's all you're going to get, just vendor garbage that sells for copper. There is no reason to do anything in the game at all and gear progression does not exist, just make ascended gear and you have the best gear in the game forever.

The combat would be a lot better if starting speed was higher. You can achieve an acceptable speed if you also run forward while starting but it's always bugged me. Also the whole combo system could've really used some improvements

Strafing speed sorry.

No gear progression is the best fucking thing though. You complain about the dungeons being obsolete, yet gear progression renders ALL previous content obsolete.

Because I played WvW(roaming) and sPvP only and there's no creativity to creating builds anymore. The lack of creativity started when they changed the trait lines to be that linear line selection shit. You either pick the spec everyone else runs or you have to fight 100x harder to do the same thing they're doing. Also the statcreep in WvW is pretty ridiculous now. You don't even realize it till you create that wacky fun build with exotics and immediately notice how flaccid it feels in comparison. Especially if you don't have all the buffs. Half of my enjoyment came from cheaply making weird meme builds.

man that sure beats standing still pressing 3 over and over

There never was any creativity to builds. Half your skill bar is locked, and you have very few to pick from on the ones you can customize

No it doesn't, there can be many reasons to do older content. Gold is a big one.
GW2 has the worst money system and economy i have ever seen in a video game it is fucking disgusting how badly the devs fuck the players. You make no money off of anything. You make scraps, you make copper maybe a silver if you're lucky doing anything you can think of, yet everything costs high amounts of gold. How the fuck do you make money on a normal basis? The only way i ever made gold was just getting lucky with things like decent dye colors that sell for decent amounts.

Make older content reward some gold and people will do it. Dungeons have a badge currency system if anet made that more relevant for things then people would run dungeons.

yes because a game can either be
>dodge millions of danger zones per second
or
>stand perfectly still
there's absolutely no inbetween whatsoever
retard

When ascended didn't exist and you could pick any trait you wanted from a trait line, yes it did. I played some extremely weird shit and somehow made it work very nearly as well as the FOTM builds at the time.
>come up with a meme to base my build around
>start picking traits I'd need to survive
>start adding/subtracting things I'd like to make the meme more powerful
I played builds without a single grandmaster trait, because they were not needed. And I just needed about 10-15g in exotics to play that in WvW at 99.9% efficiency (because I didn't farm a legendary as I didn't enjoy PvE).

Classic will be here for you soon little babby

it was boring as hell and is oooold now

>somebody disagrees with me! better call him a retard! :^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

I noticed the story turned to shit and felt like the writers changed at like level 40 or something so I quit the game.

that's what you get for posting a retarded comment in the first place, retard

It does take a fucking nosedive there.

the only based thing this game has done recently was fire that feminazi

Was GW1 really so good? Can you explain why? IS it possible to play right now solo? Like in XI. Or servers are dead?

playing solo is pretty much the only way you can still play the game these days.
pretty much all of the content in the game requires a group, but you can use NPCs to fill your group if you can't find players
the servers are still up (and will be for a long time) but there's not that much players playing anymore

>Was GW1 really so good?
Yes

>Can you explain why?
Not in one post.

>IS it possible to play right now solo?
Yes but I will say starting from scratch and so late will be a harrowing experience. I love the game but I would recommend against diving into it. If you can stick with it, it'll give you value for your money though.

>Or servers are dead?
Servers are on automatic and will be up basically forever.

Is that what happened to the game? I noticed all kinda weird shoehorned stuff in the story. That is literally why I quit. The characters suddenly had 0 depth and entire things you were worried about were completely forgotten in favor of some bullshit that served absolutely no purpose.

The most fun part of GW1 was the PvP, which is dead now. You can still play it but it won't be as fun as it was a decade ago.

I haven't but I play less and less.

From the top of my head

GW1 was really good, and the servers are still up. You can play solo, but really it's you controlling a party of 8 people.
If you take the time to get good at it, you feel like a god.

I enjoyed the idea of different races making different classes and different builds a thing.
From the scratch that was out of the window, but they promised the writting and the branching of it from your choices would remain.
That too went out of the window because they wanted to make a world that changes with each new release.
That too went out of the window because they wanted to make you be THE! hero of all heroes who does all the things and has quirky meme witty chats with their OC Donutsteels that showed two minutes ago but somehow were your BFFs.
Then they scratched the difficulty, the personality of your character, introduced whatever the fuck Rox was meant to be, angel wings, sparkle wigs, an NPC chanting I AM PROUD AND BRAVE, I CUT MY PENIS in the center of the main fucking hub of the game (seriously though, I don't even buy into the SJW boogeyman, but shit that was forced as fuck.)

The plot turned into the most cringe worthy pile of cliches, forced drama and retarded characters all bundled in such flat basic predictable plot.
I played the game religiously from its release phase, but lord know they put EFFORT in making sure you hated yourself for trusting them on anything.

There is literally nothing wrong with Taimi.

there was this feminazi writer who made a huge shitstorm by attacking and insulting a fan under the guise of "i'm on my private twitter now so i can say whatever i want" and posting all that typical bullshit about how hard life as a woman is
she and another male writer (who was basically her beta orbiter) got BTFO a day later and got fired

I hate those type of people. I left the game for the right reasons then. I knew something was up. What a fucking waste though. The setting and characters at the start were pure bliss that all suddenly tanked super hard as soon as myself and a friend hit level 40-45. It then turned to shit purely.

>art direction
You never played GW1 you dipshit zoomer. Stop posting

literally worse than bfa. You should be ashamed for playing it.

Im still mad that they ditched the broodmother event in Queensdale never to be seen again.
And when they nerfed Orr, or champion trains or every single thing that gives money and doesn't fill your inventory with 10 million items.

Or every month there's a whole new set of weapons in the fucking gemstore that you have to earn by opening lootboxes for a ticket
>inb4 muh you can buy it from other players hurr durr

The gameplay was just too mindless.
WvW seemed like fun, but devolved to big blobs slamming into one another.

i agree with him and i have 45/50 on the HoM

No trinity. I just can't do it. I need my tank and spank.

because I forgot my weaver inputs and kept dying

HOLY SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT BOXES IN BOXES IN BOXES
It's the same empty tediousness as a mobile gacha where you have to accept rewards from various menus, then open your mail to receive them, then juggle your inventory once you've filtered through the trash etc etc

>small annoying rat
>with a pink ribbon
>pilots a robot called SCRUFFY

my primary issue with gw2 is they keep changing shit to make PvE facerolling even easier and have zero consideration for the impact their changes make for PvP

Because the loot system in this game is the most aids thing imaginable. You do one event and you get a box that contained another box that has a bunch of shit greens and blues in it and a fuck-ton of useless low level crafting shit. Once I got full ascended there was nothing left to do but pvp and even that got boring.

Mounts.

Mounts fucked up the level design, going from verticality to wide empty spaces. Mounts made every world map released before PoF take seconds to traverse, there are no obstacles on any map.

Gliding, and Gliding in Tyria made sense and worked so so much better than I think anyone was expecting. But with mounts, everything got fucked up. There is no traveling, there is no downtime, there are no in-between mobs. There is just point A and point B.

Mounts fucking suck. Which is hard for me to even say because the gw2 mounts are some of the best designed mounts in video games.

Sweet FX?

Mounts were a godsend and the griffon is basically a prerequisite for HoT.

Yes, the Griffon does make those areas a complete joke. That was my point.

This. HoT maps were cancer untill the introduction of the griffon, which then boosted those maps to the best maps in any MMO.

Those areas sucked, though. So what's the problem?

i have 3000 hours in the game and i liked it

wvw was fun

Living Story was based entirely around FOMO, I only ever managed to do a single dungeon because no one would pug story modes so I could unlock exploration modes. Every event had a dozen cash shop cosmetics and a single free backpack skin you had to achievement grind three weeks to get.

Issue was that they'd decided to replace the Holy trinity with "control, damage, support" but then the dungeon designers went ahead and made everything in dungeons immune to control. Played a sword/pistol thief and felt useless in group events because stun and blind did nothing.

>Such as two classes that weren't in the game at release.

I very obviously disagree; and like I said before mounts are the problem.

Are you retarded?

Because running around looking at things was the only thing I vaguely found enjoyable about the game outside of that one time I turned into an invincible ghost in an alternate dimension who carried my team through a dungeon. But even the things you ran around and looked at weren't even on par with the predecessor.
I guess it's nice that there's new ways to run around and look at things now though...

Initially it was cause of Scarlett. Got back on about two years ago and its been great now that kasmeer/marjory are out of the picture and taimi is dying.
Had a friend who was hardcore into gw2 with me when it first launched and quit when i did start up again a couple days ago, so now i get to help him through all the living stories and get his mounts. Im having a blast just playing the game with my gear and builds, not looking at the grind since ive done it already.
The game is different for the better with the mounts and the tweaking of classes/skills over the years. Posts citing pre-expansion reasons to not play no longer apply, and the hate these threads get is ironic, especially from the gw1 posters. Their game is dead, so they have all the free time to shitpost in gw2 threads, while the gw2 players are busy playing the game and having fun. Its beautiful.

Gw2Hook

No end game content when I played in 2015. It was definitely the most unique MMO I've ever played though. I wish more games tried something new instead of trying to be a WoW killer.

HoT maps were great for exploration, for once you actually felt like you were venturing into a dangerous jungle map where you need to climb your way up,

I tried the beta and didn't really dig it. The open world was kinda neat but the game was missing the Monk. Also, it ran with the shitty new EotN races and setting changes rather than actual Guild Wars. I heard later on that there was a fair amount of social justice crap in the game, so probably best I gave it a pass.

>tfw got two 50/50 accounts in GW1

I absolutely hate going through them. Every time I think I've found that PoI I was looking for only to find out it's on a different layer and only accessible during that map's meta event pissed me the fuck off.
Having the griffon to bypass all the bullshit groups of enemies makes it so much more bearable.

if you need someone to tell you why you should play any other game besides BDO you're a fuckin retard

The verticality and confusion only made it more enjoyable than the boring flatworld maps we had before. As long as your build wasn't absolute trash and you knew how to play the game, none of the enemies but bosses and those difficult hero points should have been an issue,

I need someone to tell me why I should play GW2 over TERA.

I've sort of moved away from MMO's. I would love to play one that's actually enjoyable, but the fact social interaction is basically frowned upon and difficult to access just pushes me away from playing them.

Gotta kill the current gw1 servers, let people live without it for a year or two, then rehype and rerelease it.

OR! HD remake?

Soulless nonsense that feels like a fan fiction after GW1. Gameplay is stale, enrvironments, while gorgeous and having good verticality, feel void and dead to play in. I bought Path of Fire because it was supposed to be a big improvement on everything and fell into the same shit. GW1 was a godsend, 2 is just the recessive genes that were left over.

Honestly as much as it sucks to lose progress I think if they wanted to revitalize it they'd have to do a clean slate. Otherwise the economy stays fucked and new players can't really compete. Also to roll back most of the skill changes to '07ish, get rid of cons, and get rid of heroes but give henchmen better bars and AI.

there's honestly only mmo shit to do, and i didn't play gw1 to grind, so i don't give a fuck about "yeah bro new leggy armor, now you gotta grind a fuckton of mats to look like a freak razor factory accident, ain't that cool?!" No. it ain't.

I come back to it every now and again when there's something to do - a new season episode, a new current event, new races or like they added those time trials for the beetle, that was pretty cool. But other than that it's same old, even when there's seasonal events like four winds, and i jusst don't care anymore.

My missus on the other hand stopped playing because apparently, if you hit 15k achievement points gained from dailies, you stop getting any more, so she's boycotting that shit.

I very strongly disagree with what you think makes it fun. The layered shit always annoyed me. Tangled Depths is by far the worst, and the only reason I'd ever go there is for the piss easy meta event.

I kinda wanted to play it again but since I won't buy any of the expansions I guess I won't waste my time.

Should have been trinity role combat

>triangle class bad
stomached the whole thing for a while, dropped it around the first haloween event if I remember correctly

Dropping it would have been fine if they replaced it with something else, but they didn't. They just cut it out and left a gaping hole in their game design.

did everything in their power to shit on their past fans so fuck them
and this being the last physicall game I got for pc will always leave a bad taste

>be a paying customer, have spent roughly $130 on base game+expansions

Why the FUCK is this a thing? I want to be an altoholic but the game won't let me.

No more content to play

can we just make this a comfy GW1 thread, bros
post characters (already posted mine here )

yeah, that's a serious problem for me as well

so what do you think their big announcement is gonna be?

Wait. GW2 doesn't have trinity combat? How? Dodge button? Like PSO2?

Every class has mediocre heals. You're also expected to dodge all the time.
They added a "healer" specialization (druid) for ranger in HoT, but it was too little too late and honestly fucking retarded.

>"We're doubling down on Living World"
>"And by Living World we mean the Gem Store lol"

Damn this is funny
>in mmo threads with trinity anons want to remove trinity
>in mmo threads with horizontal progression anons want vertical progression
>in mmos threads with vertical progression anons want horizontal progression

I dunno, it just got kinda dull. I got to the point where I had all the abilities I saw a point in having and with the limited action bar there was no reason to have switch them. Then the locations started getting too generic, diminishing my favorite part of open worlds - exploration. The bars started getting too high and progress was lacking for them.

None of those things are inherently bad. The implementation, however, can be.
Absolutely nobody had any problems with GW1's trinity because it was very good.

PSO2 player here, yeah kind of. Everyone is a DPS, some classes bring particular buffs and are useful for certain situations like Weak Bullet.

Druid, Rev, and Scourge can all support and heal really well.

I don't play games I can't run at 60fps
The game is old and looks like shit, runs worse every patch.

Out of all the valid complaints you had to be an fps fag. kys.

>no high heels for slutmogs

Dropped.

How does this affect you at all lol
I haven't played in years, I don't know why the game sucks right now.
>nitpicking someone else's nitpicking
Unironically kill yourself, zoomer faggot.

Time gated shit for that new mount
Fuck that

There was no endgame beyond farming the same dungeon a bajillion times for gold, just to be able to afford a legendary weapon which has the EXACT SAME STATS as everything fucking else. Funny thing is that they could sometimes be a downgrade.
Oh, and fractals were neither fun or rewarding enough to warrant grinding them for months for a +1 upgrade to a ring or whatever.

I'm sure it's changed by now but hot damn that endgame sucked, there was dickall to do.

OF COURSE

need to be genocided

I played over 8000 hours, I simply got bored of all the aspects of the game.

>/gw2g/ still has a spambot ready to destroy any new threads made, all these years later
Poor fellas, what did they even do to deserve its wrath?

is that the time that leafman oc takes control of everything?

there is a lot worse such as black desert tera archeage lineage 2 aion

but out of the 4 most talked about
ESO, WoW, FFXIV, GW2

ESO is actually the worst
People were just disappointed in GW2 I think.

absolutely based

All MMO generals deserve that, gw2g especially, nothing but furfags, ERPers, and avatarfags circlejerking each other.

GW's trinity was good because it had no tank. It was frontline (damage) + midline (utility/damage) + backline (protection/healing). You could tank, technically, and most farming builds relied on it, but in general PvE it didn't work because enemies had no "taunt" mechanic that would force them to attack only one of your party members. Tanking is cancer; take it out and the game becomes much more dynamic.

Getting rid of a dedicated protection/healing profession on the other hand is a terrible idea.

Games one of the best MMOs I've ever played. But I just got a little burnt out atm.

But that's the best part of gw2, I can leave and come back as I please. I'll be back eventually.

I put 1500 hours in it and decided that it was finally time.

>frontline (damage) + midline (utility/damage) + backline (protection/healing)
If you played PvP it was "kind of" like this in GW2. Difference being you usually combined 2 of those roles, except d/d ele and 3kit engi who could do it all. Pick a spec from backline or frontline then add utility and it would define most PvP builds.

The only reason it didn't really work in PvE is because you didn't want mobs moving around so everyone just stood next to them. Because they stood next to them they built accordingly and it was more efficient to just go DPS and dodge, thus negating the need for protection and healing. Utility in PvE is different since you could just swap in your utility when you need it without changing from DPS then swap back after. I don't think this gameplay would have changed even if the trinity existed. You can dodge, if you can dodge you don't need anything but DPS.

Did that fag Braham stop being a fag or was that fag killed at least?

Jennifer Hales voices is awful.

You'd still be left with no dedicated prot/heal class aka the most fun part of GW1. Sure, the guardian could sort of run that kind of build, but it was extremely limited and cucked compared to the power of GW1's monk, where a skilled player (or duo) could make his party basically invincible, and the presence of a good mesmer and/or coordinated spiking was a requirement to actually take them down. Most of GW1's mechanical depth arose out of the monk's power and the necessity of having ways to counter it.

Same. I'm expecting new Elite Specs at least, and a bunch more on top of that. 47 minute long presentation they rented a theatre out for is not some simple cutscene, no idea what they're announcing but its gonna be different from normal.

is it on steam?
if not then fuck off

GW2 player socialize with each other all the time though. You don't get loot and kills stolen by other players, and anyone can rez dead/downed players, so people flock together and work as a team all the time. It's genuinely the only MMO I've played where seeing other people doesn't make me paranoid about them ruining or stealing my shit.

>where a skilled player (or duo) could make his party basically invincible, and the presence of a good mesmer and/or coordinated spiking was a requirement to actually take them down.
That's basically why stacking became a thing in WvW though. It worked all the way down to 3man. I've 5v5'd (GW2 GvG style) a few typical zerg stack comps and it's extremely tough to do enough damage to them to kill them before they rez anyone you kill. If downed state didn't exist then the glass cannons would win 70% of the time probably. But you really needed to specialize to beat a group like that. I haven't played since the last expansion came out but Scourge groups were the first time in awhile you could just run DPS and btfo them. Pretty sure they got nerfed so no idea how it is now.

GW2 has a dedicated hatebase of salty GW1 vets who run into every thread to seethe at it. They have every right to be mad tho, GW2 plays nothing like GW1 and they will probably never have a spiritual successor.

GW2 is a fun as fuck game though, and it being free to play means it has a large fanbase. Yea Forums can't seem to handle any threads about it because of said seethers, and the /vg/ threads were deleted by that one autist, so its a game that a lot of people don't get to talk about even though they play it, like every other MMO that isn't WoW or FFXIV.

Yeah, they literally went back on everything they said on release. No grind, no gear treadmill, no expansions, no mounts etc. And almost all new items were shop exclusives. It was a very beautiful and fun to explore game for a while but nothing more.

The griffin was too expensive.

Why can no one make a bot that nukes generals like /fgoalter/ and such? Wasting unkillable bot on game like this seems like a waste.

About two weeks after release. It had become common knowledge that item drops had built in diminishing returns to make farming impossible, running dungeons too fast got you locked out from rewards for up to a week abd multiple talents did literally nothing.

All expected bullshit but the reason I quit was that mentioning ANY of these issues in chat earned you a ban from Anet nazis.

pve sucks, items don't matter

its just a shallow mmo arpg, pvp is decent

In contrast, Tangled Depths is one of the worst maps I've ever experienced in any game ever.

I still can't believe it bro

Literally nothing in your first sentence is true though, even on release.

I wanted a sequel to GW1, not an entirely different game with the GW name slapped on it.

its really a co-op action rpg with simple pve and items and classes don't matter

I never bought it because near launch details about the cash shop for simple things like bag space started emerging. Despite my hype I could not support a game like that

there is thread right now on /vg/ that hasnt been touched by the bot yet

Me neither, lets go home together
