I was doing LW3 maps yesterday, even without daily bonus and they were surprisingly lively.
In the order of amount of people it felt something like this: Bitterfrost>>>Bloodstone Fen>Draconis Mons>Emberbay>Lake Doric>Sirens Landing.
With tag up I got from 10 to 4 people coming in. These are smaller maps so it felt appropriate. Most were new newfriends sub 200 mastery, plus some seasoned players. Felt very fun, even challenging to do certain activities.
>>
>>559462473
The only time I had a difficult time doing a map meta for older maps was the oil fields for Thunderhead Peak, it surprises me to see how many people run around in older content still

Same anon here. I left Dry Top and went to Auric Basin for the first time ever. Saw multiple commander tags nearby. Went to investigate and found a dozen people hanging out. Assault on Tarir started 3 minutes later. Suddenly I'm running through tunnels under the city with 30+ people looting Exalted chests and opening bags trying to find more exalted keys to open them all.
15 or so minutes after entering the zone, my bags were full of loot. I don't know if that's normal, either, but so far it's pleasantly surprising how many people still run the older content.

There are a lot of content types and maps to do these days, so people spread kind of thin. But even less popular or profitable maps get enough players to complete content during busy hours. Ones with meta event almost always get groups. Also veteran player often have a tag to pop up, to do specific stuff fast, when they get back to do older.

Arrange your world boss schedule base on that. Be there 10-15 mnt before boss spawn so you can enter the main map.
You will have a lot of fun and your loot will be bountiful. Also, if you buy world boss portal/maguuma pact (400 gems each) you can also get an ingame notification that can tp you directly to the closest wp where the boss spawn.

I think the stupidest non-consequential thing in GW2 is the cooking ingredients.

the server would not be able to handle that, it's one thing if it's 5 people bumping against one another with social awkwardness in fractals, it another beast if it's 50 people trying to go through a tight corridor while also calculating boons and shit, I kinda wanna see it though, just to try weird broken shit out, could be a fun one week event like no downstate week

I had a think about it and what generally keeps me going through pve in any kind of content is mostly seeing how far I can push myself in terms of soloing certain stuff, the other night I managed to do Whisper of Jormag, Bearbro's & Fraenir of Jormag solo (after I saw Lord Hizen's posted video about it, he's always been an inspiration in terms of doing solo content).
But I also enjoy teaching things like fractals, strikes like IBS5+A few others, fractals, open world meta events, and just in general trying to take a drillbit to the forehead of the average pve fuck and teach them what to do. Had a lot of success in return to Janthir with even some simple events like the edible mushroom event that spawns the Mushroom king mob, far too many people are too comfortable not being able to recognize 3 colours and which does what. Like for example any blue and green-hue-ish mushrooms should not be picked as they only poison you and give nothing 'edible' to turn in, only the dull-ish yellow mushrooms are to be picked, some spawn a hostile mob that you just run away from and if you go in a circle around the event npc then turn it in by spamming f (Which may cause you to do a double turn in) will quickly complete the event.

Over the years of pve, wvw, instanced content etc I've written out my own instructions in a document that I can quickly copy/paste from be it for fractal tactics, strike guides, event guides, meta stuff, leggy bounty locations/loot/value et cetera, currently that document is at 176,321 characters in length, so it is really just to find what you enjoy, and if nothing strikes your fancy maybe ask around, see if someone has a suggestion for things

>>559579445
>>559579620
You can build for massive sustain on any class and condi damage requires little investment so you can easily beat most timers with a cele build.

Power Ritualist. This is the setup I used to solo 3/5 IBS5 instances

https://gw2skills.net/editor/?PS0AExzl5ygZXsY2IOSXlzUA-DyQYho+zfHUwZEhUtCVlMPQQDFW2AVA-e

stupidly tanky, 30-35k dps depending on your ability to play, can pretty much stand still and dominate most open world content with ease, Keep using 1-4 off CD -> Then into your function skills. Like, Shroud 2->F2->Shroud 3->F3 etc, use 5 last for more damage output. Perma quickness from your shroud skills f1f2f3.

If you die in this, the problem is you.

Condi reaper is very fun too but tricky if you don't know how to sustain it, but once you do it can solo fractal CM's

Scourge, condi or power are great fun as well, power is a bit more off-meta and not generally advocated for but it pushes stupid amounts of damage along with all the goodies of the scourge toolkit and has perma alac/Quickness output as well

There are setups that do more damage but at the end of the day it comes down to what you enjoy playing as.

Don't forget to do this: Set your basic mount skill to Warclaw, assuming you have it upgraded via JW because it's OP.

If you need mid combat CC that you don't have on your fight kit? Mount up -> 4-3-1 which is 637 mid combat CC tht you can do fairly frequently.

Low on HP? Mount up, run around in circles for a few seconds then re-engage and you're at full HP once more.

Get a jade core tier 10, get used to running with the overcharge protocols as they stack up to 3 hours each and are just good over all to use, get some decent food, utility item.

In your keybinds find "Special Action Key" & bind it, that is the random key that shows up from time to time in a lot of open world content which you need to use for stuff.

And of course, dodge sensibly, don't get used to relying others for what you need when you can do it yourself most of the time.

Get used to using your Warclaw most of the time in open world, be it initial CC in fights? 100% better than using 1 weak springer cannonball for the CC portion + all the mid-combat bonuses for it.

Be careful with mounting up on Elementalist, summoned elementals disappear. Died to a boss yesterday because of it.

>>559586364
Glyph of elementals isn't that strong anyway. It may seem nice to beginners to have a minion that distracts the enemy. But any champion or higher will just kill the elemental with one hit before it makes any noticeable damage. I recommend using a better elite skill.

Nude mods are just low effort trash because gooners have low standards who operate in the 'eh good enough' category. They dont rig nude models 1:1 with the ingame models, so it very visibly distracting when removing their aemor and their calves and hips change shape. It fucking sucks and I want to beat gooners over the head with a crowbar for pretending its good.
This game unironically does the nude models right, lack of genitalia be damned.

Recently when I played SotO I suddenly realized that Peitha's "clothes" are actually just her kryptis skin. Effectively she's walking around naked. The more disappointing that you can't see her fully exposed vagina. And it would be at perfect height for my msura's tounge.

I was around on and off during Living World Season 1 and I remember back then you had to log in on time to "unlock" the episode like for example I remember I had an episode called Escape from Lion Arch

Looking at the re-release now, this looks a lot more condensed. I know obviously I missed out a lot by not doing them on time, but did I also miss out on rewards by not doing the ones I unlocked years later BEFORE the revamp?

You're misremembering a little bit. LW1 didn't worth that way originally. The original format for LW1 was that the update would be active for a few weeks and then it would be over and they took it away permanently. You definitely missed out on rewards, but you never unlocked them to do; you had to actually be playing in 2012 or 2013 or whatever. The current version of LW1 was actually added to the game just in the last few years, and mostly has new rewards.

It was LW2 and onward that worked the way you remember, where you unlocked them for free by logging on while they were current. They're not free anymore, but all the content from them is permanent and still in the game.

Well, yes and no
They are implanted with the memories, knowledge, and passions the mother tree wants them to experience, but they don't actually have any experience. So mentally, they are still children experiencing things for the first time, but they know how to do things because it was taught to them in a dream.
Physically, they are sculpted as full grown adults to fare in Tyria, but Salads literally start the game at 1 day old. If your commander is a Salad right now, they are only 14 years old.

Wow, they really did the meme.
Also, it's unanimous that Caithe is a mass-murderer just for letting Faolain go for as long as she did, right? She and all of the other firstborn should have cut her throat way back in the early days when she started subverting their siblings and massacring innocents. Every single death Faolain caused from the day Wynne died (at the very latest) is Caithe's fault. Wynne dying is Caithe's fault, too. She should've turned around and shanked Faolain instead of stabbing Wynne.

I'm struggling to build any motivation to actually play through VoE content, I want to try out the new skimmer stuff as I love mounts in this game but the actual gameplay of VoE is incredibly boring, padding out a lack of content with busywork and extremely repetitive mini"""games""" is 100x worse than Yoda bears yapping about nothing at 0.3x speed, I couldn't finish the story steps in shipwreck stand before being pulled away to other content.

To make things worse SoTo and JW were actually promising with the direction they were taking narratively, gw2 finally started to feel like a proper serious high fantasy story

but it's like after community backlash for them both being half finished and ending abruptly on anticlimaxes, the Devs looked at that unanimous criticism and said "hmm people aren't happy, I know, what they want is the whacky goofy Sunday morning marvel writing again, also bring back the gay shit tenfold, it's 2026 everyone loves woke pandering right?"

I really want to just be a fly on the wall at arenanet, what the fuck is going on there, because it's clear they also have some serious talent employed, but then at the same time they display utter incompetence with every release they make.
>>
>>559698351
I think the gameplay and narrative of VoE is on par or even slightly better than (the beginnings of) SotO and JW. The green bar story tasks that kill the pacing if all you want to do is complete the story, but I used those story steps for map exploration and it was fine.
>>
>>559698938
Green bar to actually engage in the map events which all carry their own story content is vastly superior to "play this toddlers Simon says mini game 15 times to progress" into "go and fetch 15 static items across the map to progress" into "play the same shitty Simon says minigame for toddlers another 10 times to progress", it's just painful.

I didn't mind the new collection first couple of times, because they were 70% finished by the time i've explored the island. Anet overused them as usual to pad out the content. Should have only one per map, to encourage exploration as soon as you get into the new zone. Not multiple or placed by the tail end of the story questing.
Slowpoke bears and demon but people were much worse, got on my nerves instantly. Wizards ended up underdeveloped.

Started as a more classic take on Chimera creature cosplay. That version ended up looking too bland, so i've pushed further into chimera as a concept, combination of animals.
Lion head, another animal head on the shoulder mantle is a reference to off centered goat head, snake tail. Chimeras sometimes depicted with hooved back legs. Ram horns looked better than straight goat ones, so went with that. Bat wings are from manticore.
Color scheme and face is Scar from Lion King, classic evil look. Body shape and silhouette turned out like a Dreadlord from Warcraft 3, very devilish in general. I was looking for a pitchfork spear because of it. Would be cool to have a fire footprint effect too. Armor pieces are bulky, like something a metalhead or ancient gladiator would wear. Was thinking Eddie from Brutal Legend. Overall body proportions and stance are similar too. That character also turns into same vibe demon, cool coincidence.

>why am I like this...

You felt stress when the interaction occurred, but rather than risk responding in a way that elevates stress, you chose to do nothing until the initial stress had passed, but then your body interpreted the relief of the stress passing as pleasure, which increases the odds of you freezing up next time something like this happens.

After just a few times doing this, you've trained yourself into having a mild stress disorder.

After a few weeks or months of doing this, you've trained yourself into having a full blown anxiety disorder.

The only way out of this is exposure therapy. You must force yourself to confront the stress so your body can learn that sometimes it's more rewarding not to freeze up.

The proactive solution is to compliment strangers and see how nothing bad happens whether they ignore you or strike up a conversation.

The passive solution is to wait for people to compliment you and then force yourself to respond no matter what. Best case scenario, you have a great exchange and undo this bad habit. Worst case scenario, they're too clingy or you spill spaghetti everywhere and you have to ghost them, block them, or log off for a while.

This applies to everything, btw. If you're shy about going out in public, or talking to people at parties, or asking people out on dates, or asking for favors or promotions at work, etc.
Always look at what incentives are guiding your behaviors.

NTA but you are right and this is how I went from a hopeless antisocial sperg to being able to socialise my way through stuff I never thought I could've like flirting with strange girls or breaking the tension in job interviews with a mild joke.

The first thing I did after getting out of high school was get a job at a bar (busboy because I was too spergy to be a bartender) and it's probably the best thing I've ever done, busboy was nice too because while I was out there in the sea of normies interacting with them I could also go out back or in a staff area to get away from it all.

What most people don't tell you though is that even though I broke my social anxiety and treated my Asperger's through exposure therapy, I did a lot of very cringey spergy shit in the process that still makes me flinch to this day when I remember them, infact I'm still a natural sperg so I'll do dumb shit that makes me cringe later on like 25% of the time but it's better than 100% of the time and in the meantime I got to have lots of sex and make some good connections that serve me in life.

The next evolution that I'm working on is to forgive myself for said spergouts that make me flinch when I remember them, the best advice I've heard for this is to just accept that I did the best with the tools that I had and forgive myself for it.

>>559716502
op here, you are right anon and I have tried to be more social just like you said, but at the end of the day, after the interaction with others and finally being back alone in my room, it's just more agony and anxiety because I will rewind it over and over inside my head nitpicking every interactions and it get even more stressful after that. I've been like this my whole life

That's an anxiety disorder, anon. I had that. For me, it was a symptom of unmedicated ADHD. Some part of my brain would grab onto stressful memories and doom spiral into them, making them stronger and more stressful over time, until it was crippling.

The solution is the same: Exposure therapy.
The only way to avoid a lifetime of obsessively replaying your worst moments over and over is to drown them out with distractions. Right now, you maybe use video games to distract yourself. But it's far more effective if you have social interaction, because they hold your attention more powerfully, provide alternative memories to fixate on, and you might even grow close enough to someone that you can vent about your bad memories and get support instead of being crushed by them.

Trust me, anon. I've been there. The only way to kill the bad memories is to go find enough of a life that you're too busy thinking about some event you went to last week or what you need to bring to a friend's place tomorrow. Over time, you'll accumulate good memories to focus on instead.

>LWS1
Dealing with the end of Zhaitan campaign, Scarlet starts uniting different core tyria factions to harass you and the other nation's leaders with a different crisis till Lion's Arch gets wrecked - having fully fallen under Modremoth's influence by the end of it all
>LWS2
Mordremoth rising, mordrem start attacking tyria. Reps of the different races come together to unite and deal with the threat of another elder dragon campaign starting up. Glint's Egg gets involved but Caithe goes schizo and steals it from you. You chase her trail and learn her backstory in the process but miss out on the initial maguuma assault that led into HoT
>LWS3
Fallout of HoT, we deal with various things, ranging from the White Mantle getting uppity again to how active Elder Dragons are using the powers of the fallen ones. Lazarus returns, causing the white mantle to fracture between following him and caudecus (who knows its not him due to the raid storyline), but gets outted as Balthazar. Balthazar sucked up the Bloodstone Fen nuke and then went to eat up Primordus' magic (thanks to Omadd's Machine that Taimi was using). We chase Balthazar to Siren's Landing, kill Lazarus (who was stored there) and learn Balthazar's heading to Elona for more dragon juice

For those of you that have gotten legendary weapons, what has given you the most mileage?
>>
>>559765051
Twilight greatsword, isn't that useful. But it was a dream weapon, so I don't regret it.
Going for legendary Spear rn because all of my (10+) characters use it as a main weapon, or at least for water combat. Would become the most useful one for sure.
>>
>>559765051
Twilight
Fulfilled a day 1 dream
Looks good
Useful on four characters I actually play (Warrior, Ranger, Necro, Guardian)
>>
>>559765051
Definitely Spear. Not only can every class equip it, but it's good, if not actually meta, on basically every class. And even if you don't wind up using it in your build, it's STILL probably equippable as an underwater weapon.
I actually find Legendary Sigils more useful than weapons though.

What class/Espec should I pick if I wanna be as pet focused as possible? Ideally I'd be a support for the pets who do most of the damage/tank but I'm guessing that's probably not a thing in this game and that's fine. I just want as much pet focus as possible

Just from this explanation Mechanist sounds the best but I could be persuaded for the stupid turret thing depending on the implementation
>>
>>559768857
>>559771574
Mechanist is unironically a better pet class than Ranger
>>
>>559771574
engineer turrets are summoned when using utility skills and attack whatever they feel like (or nothing at all!)
ritualist spirits are summoned when using shroud skills and attack whatever they feel like (or nothing at all!)

ritualist core class is necromancer, so you can turrets and pet(s) (dead things)
mechanist core class is engineer, so you can have turrets and a pet (mech)
>>
good morning i hate the fr*nch
>>
>>559771574
Yeah, ranger is a poor pet class, 90% of the dmg still comes from your character. Unleashed was supposed to be a pet focused elite, but ended up the most APM intensive melee burst DPS build of the profession, while pet is purely for a the buff mechanic and farting.
Pets are still useful and some have fun abilities, but at most it's utility + tanking.

If you're not enjoying the game, then the answer is simple. I've dealt with burnout from WoW before, if you can't find a meaningful reason to log on then it might be time to pack it up. If you're sure on entirely quitting, then just wait for the rest of the expansion to fully release to try it all out rather than this current spoonful content updates they keep doing

>3.5 maps (Dragon Stand doesn't seem to be a real map.)
>2 are nut-twisters with 3452345 layers and no clear way to navigate between levels (Verdant Brink and Tangled Depths)
>all new maps are littered with goodie bags that you need to carry keys to open (airship cargo, exalted chests, crystallized nodes, and noxious pods), and these goodie bags appear to be bait to give you a steady drip of dopamine from opening them and getting a pile of mostly worthless but shiny loot

So, the game launched with hundreds of hearts, vistas, hero points, etc, to explore, a dozen world bosses, dozens of maps, etc, and then HoT came out, kicked you in the dick with overturned enemies, made you run around in maze-like maps chasing little nibbles of dopamine from airship cargo and exalted chests while waiting for map-wide metas to play out, made you grind out masteries to 100% the maps, then after you did all of that in a few weeks, all you had left was waiting on LWS3? Am I understanding that correctly?

The problem is the devs didn't understand basic game design. They don't follow literally a single principle of game design, like making sure players know what to do before they end up on a floating platform on Dragon Strand while a big worm writhes around. They missed ALL, AS IN EACH AND EVERY SINGLE IMPORTANT STEP, of the things you're supposed to do when taking a player from the "introduction" phase to the "challenge" phase.

So it's on the devs for being shit at their jobs, not the players for expecting a company bragging about record profits to not be able to hire even one single actual video game designer.

Wtf are you talking about? There's a lot of NPC yapping through the whole map telling you what to do the whole entire time.

DS and gerent are the easiest boss fights to understand. not that every other meta is hard to understand, but these 2 listed spoonfeed players and handhold. anet's problem is that they assume players will all squad up and lay out the strats perfectly every single time, but they underestimate how retarded and antisocial/spergy the playerbase actually is. all the HoT ones were easy for me, the EoD ones were also not that bad with directions. the "meta" that i am most retarded with is the greer/decima fight. yeah yeah, kill them at the same time, what's new...
but then they put 2 dozen markers all over the ground and above people's heads, too many visual cues within 10 minutes. it's an overload of colors/blobs/lightning, circles all over the fucking place.

Is it just me or are the story instances insanely hard compared to open world? I can solo a champion in open world without being downed once.

Nta but every meta and instance event in SoTo spams SFX to an egregious level, everything has multiple overlapping screen filling bullshit that obscure all of the AoE indicators and that's before you count the dozens of players with eyerape transmogs casting more screen filling sfx with their spells and then on top of that you also have 20x jade bots that are twice the size of any player and now you have a dozen ritualists spamming 3X enormous retarded looking spirits to obscure your vision even more

I think they called it secrets of the obscure because whatever is supposed to be happening is a secret because your entire screen gets obscured

>>559888875
I don't really see how (specifically open-world) Decima is any kind of overload at all. There's big orange circles, there's the small red outline circles, there's the spiked AoEs that signify an undodgeable instant kill and radiate dodgeable damage outward, and then there's the arrows where you stack in them if they're green and stay out if they're red.
It's all pretty clearly readable even through player effects, with the possible exception of the red-outline AoEs which have always been kinda shit, but even then those are pretty small and deal damage slowly so it's not really imperative that you dodge them perfectly.

Greer is fair enough I guess because I think being overwhelming is kind of what they were going for there, but even then there are only a couple of attacks that are actually hard to read once you've done the fight like twice.
>>
>>559889510
It varies between stories. Some can be surprisingly demanding, full of high HP enemies or specific mechanics. length. Overall yes, they tend to be harder than ow. LW1 and 2, HoT are the most uneven in difficulty. Stealth missions are overall annoying, especially that one in season 4 iirc or Aurene training chalanges in LW3 You want some kind of stun break, good sustain + debuff remove.

you proved my point that there are too many visual "cues" to be paying attention to all at once. "back in my day!" it was easy to read an open world boss fight. maybe an arrow here or a dodge there. but now it's a mess of shit on the ground with markers all over the place with little or no explanation what to do, with minimal amount of time for lag tardbrain to catch up. by that time, dead.
my tl;dr: anet devs understand a language of icons and bright colors, but i don't need all that extra screen clutter and confusion to instruct me to "jump" or "don't get close to that thing!" just play the fight out without the noise.

I wanna fill my last character slot but not sure which class to pick, currently lack a thief, mesmer, and elementalist
I don't play pvp or wvw much, and don't like rogues, so thief and its specs don't appeal to me much. Mesmer seems to be the class of the coomers, many human female mesmers in revealing cosmetics running around + don't like the illusion magic gimmick, do any specs play in a different way?
Elementalist I've rolled like 20 times at this point and delete it every time, I love mages but this class doesn't scratch that mage itch, the staff skills are trash, the meteor shower is a waste of time, don't wanna be swapping elements, I just wanna be a wizard damnit, not Avatar the last airbender.

Your pathetic little brains cannot comprehend a reality where the answer to seemingly ANYTHING is nuanced. That means you're all dumber than the average middle schooler. Good job, dipshits. That's probably why you spend your days playing dress-up with FHDs and jerking off to Charr furry porn.

Every time someone critiques your shitty mmo slop even a little bit you autistic fucks all meltdown. Grow the fuck up already. The game isn't perfect but anyone that implies it could be better gets all of you subhuman monkeys flinging shit at them.

As always, you subhumans are incapable of imagining what it's like to be someone else.
Go to DS and imagine you're a new player with no clue what's going on.
>You can't find any of the usual stuff you look for on a map. Just a timer.
>So you come back when the timer is closer to being done.
>You find some people in a lane and follow them. But they're flying all over the place and splitting up and merging.
>They know when to run to a different location for noxious pods, but you don't.
>Everyone in map chat is throwing around acronyms you don't know.
>But you stick with it.
>Eventually, you get to the end.
>Now what? Everyone is flying to floating platforms.
>You slowly glide out to them, but they're stationed far enough away that it takes most of your glide bar to reach the updrafts to move between them.
>You don't know anything about what the numbers mean.
>You can't follow the worm boss at all, and aren't sure how to even get a hit in.
>You can no longer just follow the zerg because everyone else has a flying mount and knows the fight so they're all 100x faster than you at switching platforms and phases change faster than you can switch platforms.
>Worst of all, every time you get anywhere near a ley line, the game throws up and annoying pop-up box telling you to train a a flying mount mastery you can't even train
>At the end, you might not have a clear way to get to the boss chest, and you might not realize the inbred devs scattered chests all over the map to trick you into thinking there was anything to do in DS other than just wait for the zerg.

THERE IS A MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN "ZERO HOOKS TO ON-BOARD NEW PLAYERS TO THE ZONE" AND "YELLOW PAINT EXCESSIVE SPOONFEEDING" and the fact you fucking idiots cannot grasp that is genuinely embarrassing. If I were you, I'd cringe so hard I'd fucking die.

Oh it's you, that "serious critique" kid again. Care to list those "basic principles of game design"? I kind of sussing what you are referring to, but still would like to get like 3 from you directly.
Anet is following those 'principles' very closely btw. At least from SotO, they've been blatantly building player knowledge of new mechanics that are used throughout the expansion. Starting from the story instances, into open world events, into metas and lastly instanced contend. It's very obvious to notice them teaching reoccurring patterns in last 3 expansions. This was less blatant in early GW2 days because game design wasn't as codified and "solved" back then. Devs and players expected to learn thorough trial and error or discussing things between players, figuring out things together. Hell, many collections are convoluted to get on your own specifically because you are expected to socialize in some way. Be it through forums, in-game maps, forming groups to brains strom and look for solutions in the moment, guilds, youtube etc. Imagine doing your skyscale or gryphon with guildies and friends, everyone discussing shit in MMO. Crazy stuff, I know.

okay I can't help you with that, don't have enough experience, qheal herald swaps out dwarf stance for centaur stance, though I believe that one still gives stab in some cases.

sorrow breakbar is 1500, your staff 5 will dish out 1350 cc if you manage to 9 hit them, scepter 3 is 150 cc, dragon elite is 232 cc, centaur elite is 300 cc.
You are very likely to solo cc a sorrow's breakbar, I'd be more worried about the healing since its mostly passive or in bursts

Also, anet has always been very clear with their game design. Just play any raid/fractals/story instances. There's always a build up before the big fight that teach you every mechanic that you will encounter during boss fight. This has been the case since release.

The rule stands: The more right you are, the more the obsessive autists that poopsock a game will don their shining armor and rush to defend their favorite game. You're all so obsessed with refusing to admit that the game could be even a tiny bit better that you're melting down.

>>559911979
I actually waited until an organized group was running the zone and joined a squad. I was still lost because they kept using acronyms and acting like everyone should know how the meta goes, and in the end I got to hit the Mouth of Mordremoth ONE time before it died, because I had no clue how to get from platform to platform with everyone else. They all had mounts, but I'm playing through the expansions sequentially, so I haven't even bought PoF yet.

>>559912296
>>559919230
>>559912584
Then you admit I'm right, shit-for-brains.
If the devs knew literally anything about designing a game you wouldn't have to waste your time and fail just to learn how to do a mindless zerg meta. All of the problems are in how they executed extremely boring, cut-and-paste meta steps.


>>559912996
I actually did play it, back when Tigole and Furor and their poopsock guild were destroying the game by clearing new content in days then bitching for more while the rest of the playerbase was still months behind them. Then they went to WoW and ruined the raiding scene there, too.

>>559917583

Every single time anyone suggests the game could be even a tiny bit better in any minor way, a handful of you retards chimp out and start shitting into your own hands and throwing it at anyone that dares imply your little dress-up game isn't perfect.

>>559927307
I think I get why you're so retarded. You don't understand that I'm criticizing THE PROCESS, not the PRODUCT. I'm not bitching about the acronyms. I'm bitching about the process of having excessive acronyms dumped on me every time I enter a new map and have to go research them.
Like I'm not bitching about the Dragon Stand meta. I'm bitching about the process of TRYING TO LEARN the Dragon Stand meta as a new player.

You inbred fucks think I'm talking about the end result because you're too stupid to realize that other people have their own minds and don't know all of the same things you know.

I did play HoT at launch before quitting for 10 years, so I remember how good and bad it was back then.
The key difference was everyone was blind back then. Now, only new players are blind. And that's what I'm talking about. It sucks being utterly lost while every single other person on the map knows exactly what's going on. There's a steep learning curve that could be much more bearable if the devs applied literally any well-known game design principles.

They got away with shit design for years because people don't realize it's shit design when everyone on the map is learning it for the first time. This is a well-known phenomenon. It's why WoW Classic and Season of Discovery exist. That new player rush is a well known thing and it's clouded your memories.

As someone who run daily DS during OCX hour, this sound like a you issue (not wanting to learn or ask mapchat for directions) or a shitty commander issues (not explaining anything or asking if there's newb around who need directions) simple as
>>
>>559933843
I joined a map-wide meta where commanders were directing people around and even then they overlooked or didn't mention things, and how is a new player supposed to know what they're missing? If you don't know noxious pods spawn all over the map after the meta, how are you supposed to know to ask?

And are you ready to insist that the devs were right to scatter pods all over the map instead of just place a few big chests at the ends of each leg of the meta?

Now, imagine a 40 person map with 3 squads and 3 subsquads in each squad, all trying to wrangle 40 people, and one newbie constantly has to ask, "Where is X?" "What is Y?" "Who is Z?" That's asinine.

And I'm only saying that the game could have very easily been designed to not require that! And for THAT, you're all melting down like I took a shit on your birthday cake.

>>559934387
It's simply an onboarding failure by ArenaNet. They didn't do any QA on this. They didn't sit down with any new players and watch them stumble around blind. After doing the meta once, I figured out quickly how to sweep the lanes for noxious pods after the event, which platforms to try to be on, which platform Mordremoth is going to attack based on how it rears up, which areas I can't go without grinding masteries, etc, etc, etc. It took me like 3 hours of running around on the map before, during, and after the meta to figure it all out.

I'm saying that, ideally, I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to just show up and play the game and participate and earn rewards instead of constantly having to /wiki things, or open my map every 30 seconds to check where the commander tags are at, or ask people to explain things.

And this is a VERY easy task. I promise you, it would take less than an hour to run down a list of minor changes that would eliminate all of this chaos and confusion.

Or just one guiding rule: A player's first experience of the map and the meta shouldn't suck.

Teapot literally have zero to hero segment where he play using a brand new account to have an equal ground and never have your problem even without mounts or whatever. We all at some point must learn in order to progress. If you don't even want to do that, well, there's no helping you. You can blame anet all you want, at the end of the day, you really need to play the catching up game to the rest of us by learning how the game works. We do what we can, helping new players etc. GW2 community love to help and answer all kinds of questions. There's no doubt there. If you are that one anon with anxiety disorder then okay, we get why you sperg this much. But at the end of the day, this is MMORPG, not a single player game.

When did I ever claim to be normal?
But we can test this. If we scroll up to the top, my remarks were initially very normal.
It was all of you subhumans calling me names that was not normal. In a normal conversation, when someone criticizes something and you take it personally because you're an obsessive fanboy, you suck it up and stay civil. But because you're an anonymous fuckhead online right now, you chose to escalate.
So, the most abnormal thing about this series of exchanges is definitely you chimping out and flinging shit over a mild disagreement.

>>559936379
Cool. Did he forget all of the knowledge required to do this content blind for the first time? Again, I'm talking about the on-ramp experience. The process by which a new player learns how the zone and meta works. A fresh account is irrelevant.

Imagine learning to drive a car but you don't get a manual or driver's ed course ahead of time. You get chucked into downtown rush hour traffic and told to figure it out.
You probably do figure it out eventually, but there's a needlessly steep learning curve that could have easily been smoothed out.

Now imagine some retard comes along and says, "Well this guy that already knows how to drive went for a ride downtown on the interstate in a clunker and did just fine so that means there's nothing wrong with throwing newbies into that same situation!!"

>the pods are mentioned a few times here
All I saw was the map objective update to "explore". It wasn't clearly conveyed that all of the stuff you normally get from event metas has been scattered all over the map instead.

>you get like 20 minutes to "search for treasure"
I initially interpreted that as, "Now you can circle back to those hero points we didn't let you use during the meta for completely unclear reasons."

>golly gee, what pods, possibly?
You're ignoring that they're all over and you don't know where 90% of them are if it's your first time on the map. So you spend all your time exploring the other lanes, maybe dying to poison or something, and can never be certain you got all or even most of them. It's lazy design.

>cut the pod with the machete!
See, this part may have arguably been done well just because I learned my lesson in the previous 3 zones and bought a ton of machetes the second I saw them on the vendor before the meta. I got to the end of the Auric Basin and Tangled Depths metas without enough keys the first time I did them, so I didn't make that mistake again in Dragon Stand. I still hate the key system, but at least I had warning by the time I got to DS.

to be fair it's not that hard since they fixed her underground range, you just need to bring a few billion stab skills and avoid low hp classes
it's still funny how they ranked it as hard as XJJ

shit I forgot where in the timeline they got rid of armor durability, but there sure were a lot of anvils around HoT lol

fuckin loved it so much. that very first time i entered maguuma's breach was fuckin magical, man. just seeing all of that jungle and chaos stretching out as far as the eye could see, airships gettin fuckin DROPPED
there was nothing to compare it to, the entire game had just been flat ol' central tyria, with tiny tiny advances dripped out in dry top and silverwastes. no mounts, no gliding yet, just an impossible hostile maze of canyons and cliffs and vines adn jungle, progressing through the zone like a tiny ant trying to avoid predators. i still remember that first story mission where you go into the cleft under the peak at night and get mogged by pocket raptors, and you still don't even have a clue how big this zone is yet

Foot fetishists want the invisible boots it can drop, its worth thousands of gold and even more gallons of semen

Well yea per shrooms, since DS spawn 3 shrooms, oh and draconis mons, so that makes it 8 daily shrooms

>>559948716
The Draconis Mons one actually doesn't have a daily limit on it so you can technically farm it every time it spawns, but it has a randomized spawn timer and can take up to an hour to pop, and then despawns if nobody is there to kill it in 10 minutes, so it's not really worth it.

>>
>>559950763
Usually you want to do it around reset or reset+3-4hours, your chances or finding a group late night won't be that great. If you have a tag to attract the moths, then do it. You don't need a full map like you needed back in the day, just 10 people per lane. I had to tag up for it recently to craft my gen 2 greatsword since no one else was tagging up
>>
>>559950763
It gets done, but not in every time slot so you kind of have to just check LFG when it's coming up. I think you usually want to look a little bit before it actually begins, but not like Dragon's End where you need to be looking 45-50 minutes in advance or anything.

It gives you a free stack of each of the LW3 and LW4 map materials, and the LW4 Skyscale request requires a stack of each of the LW4 materials.
>>
is there a reason why anything that's half interesting requires 20 different things, mastery track progression, and max crafting
like it's not even ascended shit, it's just some exotics in a new expansion with a new look and while im sure its overall not THAT painful to get, the fact that it needs 20 different things and those things each need 8 other things to make is just fucking stupid
i've had this game since early 2014 and sometimes im fucking glad its always lived in the shadow of WoW and FF14, the stupid shit this game does deserves the small playerbase
