I only play GW2 for the mounts
I only play GW2 to park my big jade mech on top of furries fapping to their own fursonas
You guys play GW2?
>>567262398ayo fuck you baker boi
I only play GW2 to dress my FHD up in the sluttiest outfit divinity’s reach has ever seen and suck off all the futanornand because it’s a fun game
>>567263281Thanks, I'm into mechs too, iykwim
>>567264397It's maam
>try build in pvp >seems fun>try build in pve after dumping hp into >can't kill shit, unfun, hate the sound and art direction >still no main Why am I like this
>>567264972Everyone! CUM!
>>567266570You don't like fun, stop lying to yourself
>>567266570pve and pvp are very differentpvp wants you to not fold like a wet paper towel when someone looks at you funnypve wants you to sacrifice everything for dps number go up and pray some other fag who gets off to playing healslut gives you necessary boons or heals
>kept my half-assed news listing in the OP, except removed the part about OP being super gayThe lady doth protest
>it's another episode of "shitty devs made the non-group event so fucking ridiculous to solo that you can't do it unless you're standing there at the start of the event and use the full time to complete it, and each turn-in awards 18% progress for some retarded reason, which makes it look like 5 turn-ins will get you to completion but in reality will drop you 10% short, and then the event will fail for no good goddamn reason."What kind of subhuman shitstain makes an event that 90% of players that stumble onto halfway through will attempt and then fail because they don't realize that the event will spam them with hostile versions of the neutral animals all around them and make them drop the turn-in?Everything about this trivial, shitty, useless little event is just bad. It adds nothing to the game but risks wasting tons of time and investment from the player. There was no fucking reason to design it this way.
>tm up called in map chat>beetle over to it since I'm close>50% already and plummeting>male norn reaper attacking it
>>567269917it is a group event if you cant do it solo. welcome to a multiplayer game.
>>567270692It's not listed as a group event. Part of me wonders if the only reason I failed it was because someone showed up at the end, grabbed a pod, dropped it to fight some hostile animals that spawned on them, and that bumped the event up from 1 player participating to 2 and halved how much my final turn-in counted for.Shit design either way. It's not fun or interesting to have a bunch of random hostile animals spawn on you while you're slowed down and carrying a bundle that pacifies you.
damn I actually found a 1 word name that's cool and not lore-breaking that isn't takenwe are so back
>doing TD HPs>get to the mushroom one>burrow says it works for 10 seconds>more than enough time to burrow over to the HP and grab it and get out>mushroom queen divebombs the HP immediately>instantly dead>have to run all the way back as a beetle for a second attemptDevs should never be allowed to touch a video game again, even just to play it, but especially not as a developer.
>>567270434classic male norn behavior
>>567271983but really why are they like this
>>567272020>"I AM THE PROTAGONIST!"
>>567272139thats female human
>>567267997>some other fag who gets off to playing healslutI love shooting my specter goop at others
>>567271759>doing the OTHER TD mushroom hp>it's a champion enemy that spams massive damage AoEs in a tight little cave with huge range and lots of adds that can only be accessed normally by completing the Rata Novus meta chainAgain, not a single goddamn thing is added by making this a champion level enemy.Not one good thing is added to the game by punch-fucking the players' assholes like this.It doesn't serve any objective purpose to design this to be this fucking shitty.I am literally trying to unlock HPs on an alt so I can go back to newbie zones in full Harrier's and help baby players and I'm being forced to go full tryhard and put on a fucking Sentinel set and spec into defensive traits so I can do a handful of fucking HPs because the devs were too stupid to design a zone right and too lazy to fix it in the 10+ years it's been out.
>>567270434why is it always reapers that do this?
>still think holosmith has the coolest looking visuals>still absolutely fucked rotation that basically requires three handswhy
>>567272020napoleon syndrome
>>567273468stop playing gamemodes that require "rotatations"
>>567273117Unlike the dude in here who bumbled his way into the easiest spec of the easiest class, shitters actively seek out these builds so they can continue to be shitters that ignore all social norms. Take solace in the knowledge they spend 95% of any dungeon with their back on the floor.
How does this shitbag work?Does he just have a maxed out friends list and every time someone says his name in map chat he scans everyone on his list on the map and calls them out by name?Why?
>>567274128Idk, I've noticed this guy before.Once I was on a Dry Top map he was leading a full clear of and he genuinely just said hello to everyone on the map its so weird. I just started making up stupid names and doing it too but to made up people with names I found funny.
>>567274128This dude was talking about how small his penis is in map chat during the pinata meta in PoF a while backWeird shit

>have to complete events in bavos nisos to progress story>only group events >none around>solo events that are there are plain retardedBravo Anet
I just realized I have 1800 gold of materials with 2000 laurels, what the fuck. I didn't know they were that valuable
>>567305134how much did you pay for the account?
>>567304794Can't you just do Rifts?
>>567304794more likebavos anethaha
>>567294719are the mcharr also free?
>>567304794after ten minutes of flying around i finaly found one event i could complete and it gave me a whopping 5% progressThis is the most lame expension i've played so far, its worse then the last chapter of icebrood saga
>>567305451I bought 150 laurels from the vault every update and never used them
>>567305930That's why the even progress story bars are the worst. If you don't have a busy map it will take ages.Open LFG and look for an event train or active meta
>>567304794Do rifts count? I never tried
>>567305509sure after i've completed the expansion that made me do hundreds of those rifts i can now do the next expansion that makes me do hundred morei am just amazed how deserted this map is, might even be the most deserted one in the entire game
>>567306765I feel like everyone who wanted the legendary back already grinded it. At least Gayla Delve gives a lot of greens and gems, this map only has some meh items
>>567307234>meh items>shitty meta>lame events that take way to longMight be the worst map Anet ever created
>>567306765As you can see by now, Bava Nisos is a massive pile of shit and probably the worst map in the game, so it's not surprising that people don't just hang out there doing events for fun.That said, I have seen people run the meta recently and there's a Champ farm group in LFG right now, but if you just want to get it over with ASAP then I'd just do the rifts, progress the story, and get the fuck out of there.
Came back to the game recently but was too lazy to open up all the birthday boxes I'd stocked up on all my characters until nowUhhhh
>>567308337fuuuck!!!*bites lip*
>>567266570Just roll deadeye thank me later
>doing LWS1 achievements for the old lion's arch gizmoWow, I forgot how they introduce Marjory as if she were a 1920's noir detective with Logan as the "hot dame" that walks into the office.
>>567308337I forgot 22 more boosters on another character
So, who is the hottest NPC?
>>567316170Rytlock
>>567317871I know what you are
>>567269917ANet's Z team is at it again.
>>567316170
>>567318682hot charr balls
>>567316170Gaheron Baelfire technically.
>>567326897bro, the fire elemental?
>>567328641Okay Roze
someone with a ton of legendaries show your "legendary armor" value because how the fuck do they even measure these things
>>567335240I assume:1. Gen 1 and Gen 3 legendaries - TP value of lowest buy order2. Everything else - sum of TP value of lowest buy order for everything else.But I really don't know and it's probably bullshit meant to stroke one's epenis.
>>567335583guess eternity counts as three legendariesand the literally free gauntlet counts as 500 but the other literally free trinket counts as zero
>>567335818forgot pic
>>567335240I have a bunch of gen 2 legendaries and legendary armor, their value is the value of the materials required to craft them
>>567335818That's because making the gloves in other weight classes is actually pretty costly, whereas there isn't actually a way to pay gold for the Amulet. I guess they figured it wasn't worth the effort to make an exception just for the first of three copies of Eikasia.
>>567336791What do you keep in your shared inventory?
>>567339074this stuff
>>567339427I regretted getting the wizards portal tome the instant I realized it worked through tiering dialog choices, but I had already gotten rid of all my tomes. Never switch.
>tfw just found out today that there's a mastery filter on the cognitive in the achievements tab that makes it stupid easy to track
I DID IT!I FINISHED LWS1!THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER!
>>567339695As soon as found out that's how it worked I lost interest in upgrading
>>567328641>>567334578lmao.
>>567339804cognitive = cogwheel *
>>567339804it took me so many years to realize that's a thing
>doing echovald gang war for the first time>final boss has a cool "hide or get one-shot" mechanic with a surprisingly short window>someone says "if I wanted raid mechanics I'd do raids" Is this the average open world player's attitude, really?
>>567343031No, that's a below-average player even for open world. You have to go to Dragon's End and Inner Nayos to see the average players coming out with equally dumb takes.
>>567328641hewoo...ayinmaiden heer. today I will be getting the anet bombs achievement... okay so der arr 17 bombs to find on the anet campuss... so lets go through it.
>>567343031>I HATE EPARCH11!121!11!! WHY IS THIS SO HARD??? WHY DOES HE KEEP OUTHEALING OUR DAMAGE? >this player also spent 70% of the fight floormaxxing>this players' rotations is spamming 1 with zero conprehension of all the flashing colors beaming directly into his retina
>>567343031>>someone says "if I wanted raid mechanics I'd do raids"holy shit
What is this? A raptor mount for Asura?https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mini_Raptor_Mount
>>567343031Used to be my favorite meta & ran a group every night at 23:30 that was usually filled in minutes after putting it up, good ol' written down mechanics to copy/paste quickly.Rarely had anyone go down to the one shot and if they did they were hit with the "time to waypoint you chose to die" line.I should start running it again just to build up more imperial favor for more aurene legendaries to sell
>go to teq map full of food and shit>go into pvp lobby for 40 seconds to grab something off of tp>its a different map when i come outcome on manthis shit should be reserved if its like under 90 sec
>>567343031raid mechanics would make the entire squad wipe from 1 person's mistake than have only one guy die
whats the giant fucking dragon head i see sometimes?is that an infusion?
ty wenhaoty gazzi
>>567348647A person whining about the mildest open world mechanics isn't going to know this.
I thought the worst grind for the obsidian armor would be the rift essence but damn the map currencies and gifts of research are so much worse. Never making this shit again I would rather go for another raid armor set.

>>567354006>>567354039Oh okayI keep forgetting thats a thingIll swap all my chars to that
>>567352885I'm cynical about every live service sequel because it feels like every single one of them launches without a ton of the features of QoL of their predecessors and then they end up spending years adding the shit that they already did in the previous game.
>>567354298If it launches with a functioning LFG and group content, it wins. I seriously have no idea how they haven't even tried to touch the LFG. They made a whole new raid reward system and UI but what is the fucking point when everyone is going to give up as soon as they look for a real group?
maybe its the fact that its a hot sunday night but i just cannot get into lws1 writing right now
>>567356046Why would you put yourself through that
>>567356046Put a video on your second monitor/phone and don't bother listening to that shit
>>567356142because i wanna be truly "caught up" before i start End of Dragonalso i want the cape from the lion arch chapter story
>>567343031Someone who dies the first time that mechanic comes up gets the benefit of the doubt because it might be their first time ever seeing that attack. Anyone who dies after that is a retard for sure. Your guy there is definitely a retard.
Imagine gripping the base of a charr's tail. Probably as thick as your wrist.
>>567362493
>>567362493One good whack with a hatchet or machete will do the trick
>>567362686Im pretty surprised lorewise there arent snub-tailed charr given their militaristic and combative behavior. Youd think at least one of them have lost their tails in combat (i know the real answer is anet not programming a snub tail option but still)
Maybe gw3 will allow tail type/length
>Grabbing your charr boyfriend's stubby tail handle while rawdogging his guts
>fun time with your femcharr gf in bed>she wants you to deathgrip the base of her tail>you have to use two hands and whole upper body to do it>she isn't feeling it that much>wrap tail around arm and yank instead
>>567340016Oh sweet summer child, wait for LWS3 Chapter 6. It's putrid even by GW2 writing standards.
>>567343031They usually don't complain, because they're being carried. The average GW2 player doesn't know how to do more than 10k dps even with VoE specs.That's what you get for having a 1-80 experience that doesn't punish the players for not trying to learn the most basic of rotations.
>>567362493The fluff under their tails does things to me
>>567367395>The average GW2 player doesn't know how to do more than 10k dps even with VoE specs.Haha! I can do 12k dps! I am the best GW2 player!
>>567376212Bear? Where get bear? Please share.
>>567376212>12kbut why tho even if you suck you should be doing at least 15k
>>567376798>even if you suck you should be doing at least 15k15k isnt you suck15k is the realistic mark of a decent playeronly like 5% of the playerbase are hitting 30-40k on the golem with certain classes button mashing the skill rechargeand in real fights with mechanics and real shit happening its expected to be half of that15-20kgolem balancing is retarded but to be fair anet had to learn that lesson alsotheres a reason snowcrows started hiding numbers for min>>567376212quit button mashing or play a class that rewards it like warrior or guardianaverage player does way worse than that thoughgw2 average over world player is probably 3-5k or whatever 1 spam does on a class that isnt engie or reaper
>>567363752Maybe would've been a thing if Charr were still savages and not goofy fucking curriesGod I hate what nu-anet did to Tyria, so much wasted potential in the hands of fucking tumblr faggots
>>567378091>only like 5% of the playerbase are hitting 30-40k on the golem with certain classes button mashing the skill rechargewhile true that only 5% of the playerbase can hit 30-40k on the golem, I want to believe that anyone can if they actually read what to do and equip a proper build and not whatever celestial marauder shit that open world players normally insist is "good enough"? I'm a low-intensity shitter but I could do 37k on the golem pre-nerf using a build meant for babies.the media guild wars 2 player is willfully ignorant of the game's mechanics, is allergic to reading tooltips, and I don't know what else. I see people in quick play doing 600 dps on a non-boon non-support build... how does that even happen? were they in low level gear?
>>567376497Google!>>567376798Yeah I guess. Training golem says 12k and I don't actually want to install the dps thing people use. If I do raids/fractals I just switch some traits around to do a boon/heal build and no one bothers me about it.>>567378091>quit button mashingI refuse.>or play a class that rewards it like warrior or guardianNo.
>>567353928it's the revenant elite skill when in glint legend
>>567384058>I want to believe that anyone can if they actually readif that could happen the number wouldnt be 5% would it? realistically you're getting>>567384253that fag and at worst you're getting that 600 dps guy lmao

I fucking hate how I cant talk about charr lore itt without the braindead gooner furries making it about sex and porn. Dipshits fried their frontal lobes and dont have sex irl and have to masturbate 24/7 to the furry race and make it my problem. Kill yourselves.
>>567390520Anon, it happens with literally every race. Bring up Norn? Suddenly "uguu dickgirl peepee in my bum me so ho-nee". It's the nature of generals. The only one you're relatively safe with is humans, since it'd just be normal gooner shit and those normalfags are spending the majority of their time in the entire boards dedicated to containing them.
>>567390520This never actually really happens tho, charr lore discussion never gets hijacked. Every related topic starts out as either coomer furfags shitposts or humanfags/GW1 fags seething about 'lore'. No one is interested in any actual lore or worldbuilding anyway. Game itself hasn't been excited about its lore or race culture after Core.
>>567391538>its da nature of generalsStick your demoralization up your ass where it tickles your prostate and gets you off you fucking faggot. The futanorns are gay as shit as well but dont try to pretend like the furry niggers dont outnumber them 20:1. I stopped making charr OC altogether long ago out of spite of them.
>>567391606>charr lore discussion never gets hijackedIt literally has you apologist, literally the two posts before mine were about it. Go play in traffic.
>>567391683I still remember when I joined the vg guild, joined the discord and then out of nowhere one evening they all started posting pages of the most disgusting furry porn I've ever seen, it felt like that scene in blade where the humans were raving and then suddenly blood rains from the ceiling and they realise they're surrounded by vampires
>>567393708>discordbrought this on yourself + you're probably a closet furry already if you're using Discord

I can't decide between dusk and night cycle for my sylvari engineerdusk makes sense because they're intelligent and also crafters but I think night fits his personality more and also I'm leaning more towards a darker aesthetichmmm...
>>567393708genuinely what were you expecting from /v/tards?
Reaper is so broken I've been playing all day without trinkets of any kind and didn't even realize it. I've solo'd multiple champions while missinga big chunk of my stats and didn't even realize it.
>>567399685but gw2g said it's shit and dies easy, how can this be...
>>567400489No one in the history of gw2g has ever said this.
>>567400489they've always said the exact opposite, take your meds
>>567403571>>567403798Nta, but I did see an anon in one of these threads insist Reaper was complicated because he couldn’t figure out to use Shroud 3 when an enemy is winding up
>>567403571>>567403798It's true tho. 2-3 weeks ago anon swore to me itt that Reaper sucks and weak, while Revenant is way better and easier to play.
>>567403571>>567403798There are dedicated reaper/guardian spergs in the general who cope with the fact that they play babby accessibility class by pretending that actually you need a high IQ to play them

the amount of pathetic losers swapping maps for the stewart event at the forge to complete the achievement is laughable, every time i find a new map with the event going on i see the same losers, what a bunch of nerds (i still miss 12)
I usually do this champion even for the heck of it whenever I come by Auric basin but there's usually 3-5 people just stood waiting for a tag/massive group to come help them with it because they refuse to learn, hopefully its none of you anons.Ez rundown on how to beat up the balth champion hp in auric basin:• Champ has a break bar, resist the urge! If it don't show someone else broke it and failed and it will not pop up again, it only appears once per life cycle.• Champ hits hard so keep dodging, make sure you down the dog adds the champ has then proceed to slap the shit out of it• at 50% the champ will raise its greatsword above its head, a few seconds later the entire room will be set on fire. At this point, you should bust out all the CC you have to break him, if you don't use a bouncing shroom to get up on a ledge and just sustain the ranged attacks or use the room teleport to wait until the fire goes away.• If you do CC at 50% the champ will no longer set the room on fire and you are free to just burst it down.Most if not all builds should be able to solo this champion hp even if it is a 'group event', just dodge, don't stand in the fire and if its too hard swap builds and try again
>>567443184>use a bouncing mushroom to get onto a ledgeThis literally never works for me, i just end up stepping out of the arena and standing far back from the entryway until the fire goes away, then i go back and engage him. Its the most effective strategy ive found personally.
>>567444974Yeah, that reply is a psyop made by a Priest of Balthazar because that shit never works.The fire gets up on the ledge and Balth can still hit you up there, so the ledge will only save you if you have a support build like hydromancer or ventari revenant and just spam heals up there. Every single other spec will die to the fire.
>>567407130Firebrand requires some neuronal activation.
Finally decided to try Scourge, and what do you mean I have to shit out a Shade every 8 seconds?Who thought this was a good idea?You have to just constantly be pressing F1 or Shift+1 or whatever you have the hotkey bound to, just shitting out ground-targeted summons that last for EIGHT seconds, to play your spec?This is atrocious. They need to last like 60 seconds and have one of the shroud skills collapse them so they can be more like engineer turrets or something.
>>567449571yeah its pretty shitno wonder people just play reapertheir specs are absolute garbage to play
>>567449571This isn't FF14, 8 seconds is a long time in GW2's combat system.
>>567450126The fuck it is. I bound that row of skills to shift+1, shift+2, shift+3, etc, and I'm getting hand cramps from constantly mashing shift+1 to keep a shade out.
>>567449571>You have to just constantly be pressing F1 or Shift+1 or whatever you have the hotkey bound to, just shitting out ground-targeted summons that last for EIGHT seconds, to play your spec?Don't try ele...
>>567444974>>567445304hug the back wall of it, i know its wonky bullshit but you can avoid it by wallrunning and dodging side to side. But if its too problematic just use the room teleport and wait it out
>>567450450>not binding the f1 skill to the mouse cursor and shifting all the f skills over to the left by oneSounds like a hardware issue. I just make sure to shit out a sandshade anytime my f-skills are all on cooldown and then juat spam them off cooldown. Works for me
>missile launcher lock w/ latency just enough to cause rockets to miss>cant lead the rockets because it auto locks onto the coptersThis is hell.
>>567451582Ele's not so bad. Nor is engineer with its toolbelt skills. Because you press each skill like once every 10-20 seconds, maybe even 30 seconds.Sand Shades are killing me because it seems like you have to press F1 F1 F1 3 times in a row then mash F2 F3 F4 F5 and then you have a few seconds of peace and then you have to mash F1 F1 F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 all over again.All of the shroud skills are incredibly weak and have super short CDs. Imo they should just be doubled in effectiveness and in cooldown, if not tripled.
>>567452721It has no dropoff, so you can instead aim ahead of it and have a better chance at hitting it.
>>567452721you have to move to a different angle
>>567453246Catalyst>deploys jade sphere every 5-6 secondsWeaver>swaps attunements every 4 seconds or gets worse DPS than an autoattacking guard
>>567453950Evoker>need to use familiar skill every 2-3 skill usages>meanwhile need to continue swapping all four attunements
>>567439072Salad Cultural armor > Human Cultural armor
>>567456726Better female VA tooShame about everything else
I'm hating how Scourge feels to play, but I can't deny that everything is faceroll. Nothing has taken me under 80% hp yet. Not even champion enemies. It doesn't feel like it should be as good as it is. I still stand by what I said, though. Double the skill CDs and effects.>>567453950>>567454103I play Tempest, so maybe that has something to do with it. My Marauder build sits in Air, channeles its Overload, swaps to Fire long enough to reset Air, then goes back to Air until Overload, then swaps to Earth, resets Air, then Overloads it, etc.My Condi Tempest just swaps between Fire and Earth. Both specs just swap maybe once every 10-20 seconds.
I can't believe there was a dev heterosexual enough to make this reference.
>>567443184No need to bounce, if you can't cc, just run and avoid all the orange bullshit as soon as he does that gs animation. Usually there's a few corner you can stand without getting any damage. Wait there and stand like a retard until he's done sperging.
Every time I play this game again I keep making a Human Male. It just feels right.
>>567321212GRAND NAGUS!
>>567457694i don't get it
>>567457694>I can't believe there was a dev heterosexual enough to reference the gayest, most homoerotic series in gamingAnon?
Fuck sake, my alt park 24/7 leeching days are over.
>>567457694>>567458785jetstream sam? lol
Phew, better them than me lol
>>567460551My favorite thing in MMOs is seeing a giant fucking boss snap turn and instantly kill 20 people.
>>567460782Those were the days
>>567457665Yeah tempest is the most chill ele spec, it's just improved core ele. The other specs are ridiculous piano if you want to get 15k+ dps
>>567461242what do you even dojust sit in lightning and do the lightning tempest thing afte 5 sec and repeat?
>>567461374Every tempest build is some variation of>overload>swap>mash 2-5>repeatThe main difficulty of it is making sure you're actually safe to use your overload before you because getting interrupted is a huge brick.
>>567461374support tempest is just going through every overload and using every skill while you wait for each overloadDPS tempest depends on your build, i personally just park fire with staff and use lava font, meteor storm and overload off CD, only play DPS tempest when im feeling too exhausted for other specs
>>567461859>>567461839what are you giving to your team by doing every overload and every skill
>>567462076boons, namely alacrityi run harriers and my role is aheal
is minion necro still complete dogshit
>>567458472Safest option to avoid when the entire room is on fire if cc isnt an option is to just use the exalted teleport out, wait for it to die down, wait another second or two for it to actually go out then teleport back in. No need to stress out in the fire room because even if the champ breaks combat it wont reset that quickly. I just laid out all the options in my original post for people that don't know what to do. To this day there are too many high ap people that can't solo HoT hp's and its big sad energy
>>567269917This event is unbelievably easy solo. I wouldn't complain if you showed up *that* late.The game provides you with a skill to ignore the neutral mobs, but you could also... run away, use stealth, use quickness, etc.
remember when quickness was double speed and wasn't even a boon?remember back when only chrono had alacrity?remember when staff ele was meta in dungeons?
>>567462868No, I didn't play the game until they made it good
>>567460551kekI get so fucking salty when someone gets marked with red arrow and does that shitjust mount up and stay still damn
>>567462868no because due to anet bad marketing I joined in nov 2013 even though i now have 10k hrs
>>567460551>someone in cosmic observatory gets the green arrow>starts circling and dodging like mad to escape it
>>567462868Yes I remember when the game was good.
Man WvW is the peak of this game when it's off-prime time and the zergs are asleep, you get loads of really fun small scale fights, and then the odd siege when it's like 10+ people on each side, that's when gw2 combat really fucking shines, not that amorphous boonblob bullshit running over everything in its path >>567461374NTAs but I got Legendary Magus spending most of my time in Staff Tempest Support Auramancer and while it's chill in PvE its really technical in sPvP for entirely different reasons, and it works well because you play less piano and play more "click the right button for the situation", a lot of your time will be reactive, dodging, positioning, clever use of CC, stun breaks, team wide magnetic aura to blow up projectile shooters, constant cleansing, meteors to open, overloads to make space (fire/air) or support skirmishes (water/earth), it's a lot of fun and you still get to do decent damage, I would regularly do around 20% team damage and 60%+ team healing. It's also hilarious to go 1v1 and see the opponent get bewildered as you the support staff ele who should be an easy target, completely shut them down with CC and sustain yourself through the fight, even kill anyone especially squishy For WvW I go donut Steele weaver, spear to make big damage number dopamine hits in sieges or blobs, sword/dagger for small 1-5 person skirmishes
>>567464653>staff in PvPI don't get this, once some newer spec is on me and CCing me to death, I have like water 5 to try and cleanse shit and one long CD skill as a stunbreak, unless your teammates are right there and actively helping you I don't get how you can survive, do you just pile all your AOE on yourself?
>>567464653imo the gameplay is too repetitive either way, but as someone only in it for the rewards, I think boonblob is best to maximize player kills if you win (once your only remaining goals are WXP and player kills)
>Isgarren: Ahhh, wayfinder and....friends. My power begins to return. I could suck every single one of you off>Rytlock Brimstone: Go right ahead then, wizard.>Isgarren: W-what?>Rytlock Brimstone: Suck us offWas that really necessary anet?
Boonballs are gayIf I drop a meteor shower on a boonball everyone should get hit
>>567466564The old fruit should have called his bluff and asked him to whip it outWe all know Crecia keeps Rytlock in a cuck cage
>>567466564Steve Blum probably said this in an unused take if we're being honest.
>>567465087you can stack alot of cleanses, stun breaks and stab with water/earth/tempest lines, signet of cleansing and eye of the storm, armour of earth and lightning flash (doesn't break stun but shifts you far enough from danger whilst stunned)You do actually want to be near the fighting, just right next to it but not inside it. it's all about positioning and clever use of staff CC, you want your AoE heals to hit both you and your team while you blast them to pump out healing and cleanses, you need to use those utility skills extensively to be a slippery fucker, you use rebound for extra auras and buffs rather than trying to snipe death saving heals (it doesn't heal enough to matter anyway), fire 4 is a pretty huge mobility skill, air 5, air 3, earth 4 and earth 5 are very good when you get targeted to chain CC and make space for yourself, earth 3 is team wide magnetic aura at a button press, especially funny when a shithead galeshot winds up his obvious machine gun bow skill and finally every overload is a stun break, and gives auras that also give improved protection, vigor and healing. The whole kit is very evasive and has alot of control and healing, then with avatar amulet + relic of castora you actually can pile on pressure and not make yourself such an easy target, air overload in particular is very deadly for anyone caught in it, especially if you prime it with an air 3 + 5 to exhaust stun breaks, you give teamwide stunning auras whilst shitting out damage in the field, bonus if you are safe enough to follow up with meteor shower + lava font, otherwise you can go to earth to do a quick eruption followed by some defensives or go back to water to healSaying all that I did burn out on spvp due to the absolute state of its playerbase these days, but I had a lot of fun, and moving to wvw with cele gear and buffs feels like taking off the ankle weights, the average pvp skill of wvwers is low compared to high elo spvp in its active periods
>>567465724It's boonballing that's brain off repetitiveness imo, small scale is dynamic and fights are never the same, and then you even form rivalries against regular enemies (currently stalemated against a dickish deadeye I run across a lot who seems to be the bane of my team). PvE is what gets super repetitive for me, the events go the same way every time if you are doing them regularly on a rotation.>>567466785For pure damage Ele spear is far superior and actually does AoE damage within its radius rather than relying on rng fireballs to connect, it's a shame too because it's kind of goofy, the vfx are obnoxious and staff is just cooler class fantasy, spear does leave you pretty defensless outside of your utility skills though so you really do need a minimum amount of people with you or be defending from walls
>i have to ascend>and do trialswooow thats a first!
>was gonna make a norn necro>already had a low level norn necro madehuh
>>567466785This isn't what makes boonballs gay. What makes them gay is that hitting them does nothing unless you burst hard enough to oneshot.
The seers seem very indian to me
>>567474961Saars...
What actually makes boonballs gay is that they systemically nerfed every hard counter to them. Now you have to do some goofy meme shit with untameds and necros and it doesn't scale very well.
>>567478410"DO NOT REDEEM THE COMING BACK ISGARREN!"
I love being gay in the charr boonballs
>>567482716I don't
>>567480910I chuckle every time they nerf necro's boon strip or boon corrupt in WvW.
Having to press shroud on reaper is quite exhausting, they should make it the default state instead.
>>567406269that was me and this is still true. renegade mogs reaper by nature of permastab. though i consneed that reaper is easy. i forgot that i had raped my reaper of most of its items because it underwhelmed me after spending so long playing core necro.

>>567487994I will in fact be taking your katana, rest in piss.
>>567487994The tonal whiplash is hilarious. It doesn't help that the encounter is probably the smallest and weakest in the entirety of LW2.
>>567486107Revenant never mogs anyone. It's the shittiest profession in the game and the stats prove it. No one likes the lame ass energy bar.
>>567487307If you go right after reset, there's a crew or two that do it every fucking day. They blaze through everything, max out the event tier, do all the sandstorm bosses, etc. Best time to get and spend currencies, because reward costs go down as event tier goes up. A T6 or whatever map is much cheaper to buy rewards on than a T1 map.
>>567489364I appreciate the suggestion, but I gotta be real with you,, I'm not setting foot in that godforsaken map again (unless the story sends me back) until I need to complete achievements, with all the mounts unlocked.

I hate Secrets of the Obscure so goddamn much.Fuck it so fucking hard.Every single time I look something up or want to try a new build, some bullshit from Secrets of the Obscure is required and I don't have that shit expac yet. Fuck it. Without even playing it, I know it's when quality took a nosedive because too much in-game power is locked behind it. They had to give it heaps of free power creep to make players actually play it.
I am gay, will I like this game? This would be my first MMO. I am a 19 year old femboy from Austria.
>>567494779no, sorry.this mmo is for trans people only.

>>567460551I've just given up on expecting anything from randoms, lately I've just been playing celestial druid and shit out a few mediocre heals when the team craps out. I don't know if I've ever seen a public convergence where everyone targeted by demon knight runs out, always see people getting downded by meteors. They don't even use their overpowered warclaws as a get out of jail free card, just stand and get gaped. This game would be dead if it required any amount of skill.
>>567511104no?

>>567469178yeah I definitely enjoy trying to win small fights as a daredevil instead of just spamming wells as a spectre. too bad it's not as rewardingI find PvE more entertaining because of the sheer variety of content. Yes, I've done literally everything there is to do, but it doesn't feel repetitive unless I'm doing the same metas, JPs, etc. every single day. Which I mostly am not as an achievement hunter
>>567515125you wouldnt have these problems if you were cleaning cat shit in bear land

Why are equipment template expansions so fucking expensive, over 7 dollars for 1 on 1 character, now on sale 5 dollars, fuck that
>>567523665Just turn gold to gems? It's, around 400 gold maybe?
>>567523949I got better shit to spend gold on, I just crafted my first set of leggy armor and wanted to try out different builds but templates too expensive
>>567523665gaynet is very greedy
>>567520672IJBOL
>>567524418You can make do just fine with just the two equipment templates and a bunch of build storages, you have leggy armour it's not that hard to switch each equipment piece to a different stat set, the templates are just QoL for someone with a leggy set

Tengu Tuesday (if tengu were playable)

>>567536472A cock
Would Tengu wear underwear if you took off all their armor like every other playable race or would wear nothing at all? There's a lot of Tengu NPC's that wear no pants.
>>567513429Your problem is not dumb players, but shit devs that don't know how to design encounters. The only way to learn the fights is to brute-force them with trial-and-error. Not everyone bothers, and not everyone does a fight frequently enough to internalize the rules.If ArenaNet weren't shit at designing fights, they'd go better. Look at WoW. It pulls off fights with even more mechanics because they make it impossible to miss big telegraphs from the bosses,
>>567515125But rats are all geniuses, remember!
>>567519616Is that a timer mod or something?
>>567536472grackle
>>567459237I've been leeching the metas in the SotO maps for weeks grabbing the lanterns while everyone else does the boring part of the metas. Nearly doubles the speed of the armor material collection.
>>567546983I think the root problem is just how ineligible everything is, how the fuck are you supposed to learn how a mechanic works if it's literally impossible to know just what the fuck is going on over all the constant flashbang vfx spamAnd for some reason they keep doubling down on this shit with every xpac, they now force the camera to zoom out as if that fucking helps with the fact that vfx spam covers the entire screen And they enable players who just pollute everyone's monitors with fuckhuge green goblin mechs and ritualist spirits, like they are turning tyria into india where noone respects anything and just litters there disgusting vfx with no regard to anyone else's viewpoint
>>567536472The pigeon boys are cute
>>567549935>people are getting the 'ick from the MM part of the MMOAnet sure likes the color green, which is ironic given the subscriptionless model. Would capping maps at 30 players alleviate the issue?
The mirror farm is still insanely good especially if you can do it twice back-to-back and time it with the daily reset. Are they just going to keep nerfing it? If they add the 4th map with more mirrors it's gonna be even better
They should add playable skritt.I will not elaborate.
most annoying part about legendaries is the annoying check list crafting shit
>>567562579>I will not elaboratei wouldnt expect a series of necroposts designed to bump the thread off page 10 to do anything more
>>567567572>necropostingI don't know where you came from, but you got off at the wrong stop.
Is gift of battle always required? I really don't want to go into WvW if I don't have to.
the more i play this game the more i realize i really really fucking like the vast majority of weapon skillstheyre so fucking SHIT even if theyre meta or fit the arch type of some fantasy LARP i like
>>567569407did you mean dislike? if so unfortunate typo.
Why does it feel like anet abandoned the quickplay system already? It seems so half-assed, especially 'raid' quickplay.
>>567569915yeah i meant dislike kek
>>567569407most of the weapon skills sound like shit tooi hate the sound design or lack ofprobably why i cant decide on a mainonly rifle for thief has any interesting sounds effectsdeadeye in general has really nice sounds
>>567567953>accuse anon, with a history of bumping the dead thread off page 10, of bumping the thread off page 10>suddenly a bunch of posts back-to-back-to-back after hours of silence>'nuh uh no im not'youre welcome for the renewed motivation, bitch
>>567570236yeah this game's combat isnt always impactfulwhich is why i stick to a lot of spellcasters, especially the melee spell ones. its like my head can convince myself that its okay they dont "hit hard" because its magiconly a very few select melee weapons feel like they have weight (guard hammer/gs, warrior bursts with a few weapons, etc)
>>567570471Yeah. Classic WoW of all things has better feeling combat than almost every MMORPG simply because the sound design is great. FFXIV feels okay, too.
how long can you keep it up, lil bro?>>567569361>>567569407its always sus when i call out anon for bumping the dead thread and theres always posts that happen simultaneously afterwards, well within the reply cooldown as "proof" he aint samefagging. i was looking on the archive to pull up how its easy to samefag like this with multiple devices....only to discover its a pretty big problem in all the other generals as well.fascinating
fuck I just realized you can convert unusual coins into ancient coins. I'm so fucking stupid I was grinding ancient coins but I'm sitting on over 10k unusual coins
>>567570680Yeah, hitting motherfuckers with Mortal Strike felt even good in 2004. The sound of getting Cheap Shotted into Kidney Shot probably still gives some people PTSD today.>>567571185That's a funny schizoI do keep tabs on two slow generals (one gacha, one tps) but I dont do it for gw2
>>567547329It's world boss portal device from the gemstore. It will give you a warning like that if you activate it, and if you click the device it will teleport you to the nearest waypoint where the boss spawn.
>>567549935Yep. And the boon system is retarded.You have to stack up to make sure you're in range, and a lot of boons are limited to 5 players, so instead of everyone spreading out and only stacking up for specific mechanics like in every other MMO, the default for everyone is to stack up so you can't see shit.The fact that you often can't even tell if you're still in melee range and can lose DPS because the boss stepped back 4 feet without you realizing is damning.>>567551458Sit on a claymore you inbred sack of shit.People saying, "Group content should be designed better" DOES NOT FUCKING MEAN "group content is bad", you subhuman sack of frog shit.Literally deepthroat a speeding truck tire, you waste of oxygen.
game is not popular because it has no direction. has nothing to do with group content or boon system or whatever the fuck>noooooo youre suppose to plan out 5 months of slow grinding to get Uber Duper Axe of Leet through 37 sets of achievements hidden in the shitty as achievement UI Nobody wants to do this gayass shit except us retarded fucking losers that stuck around for some reason
>>567573457Better than grinding the same gear with slightly better stats over and over every 6 months
>>567570398The skritt post was the only one I made outside of the reply, in ~6hrs. You might've managed to get the only dude that was shitposting instead of what you were on about.
>>567572929>Sit on a claymore you inbred sack of shit.>Literally deepthroat a speeding truck tire, you waste of oxygen.Calm the fuck down dude what the hell, why are you so angry?>"Group content should be designed better" DOES NOT FUCKING MEAN "group content is bad"I didnt even say that dude. I was innocently asking if throttling player numbers in the maps would alleviate the visual clutter clutter since that was one of the grievances. One of the nice things about GW1 was the 8-man parties so only 8 players were in the overworld (outside of outposts) at any given time. I thought less jade mechs and ritualist spirits would have been a good thing but apparently it elicits the same viceral response as calling a black person the N word, killing their mother and raping her lukewarm corpse. Yeesh.
>>567570680Classic WoW had really good sound design and combat reactivity, its so snappy it almost makes you forget its a tab target game.
>>567574807>Calm the fuck down dude what the hell, why are you so angry?I'm just sick of this style of rhetoric.It's like someone says, "I prefer my steak to be medium rare," so someone else barges in and says, "So you don't even like steak?!" Every time. All the time. 24/7. We cannot discuss anything anymore without people applying binary logic and swinging between extremes. It's like a memetic cancer that is killing civilization."People are getting the ick from MM in MMO"?No. People still like the MM part of MMO. They explicitly want the MM part. They are complaining that they cannot even see the MM part because of the visual noise and pollution on the screen.
>>567572929skill issue>>567578345no, they dont, the novelty of massive multiplayer games has been supplanted by discord
>>567551458It's not the MM that's the issue, it's the ORPG bit; Ocular Raping Photon Grenades
>>567578345I see the rage goes far beyond my post, still a massive overreaction christ.>They are complaining that they cannot even see the MM part because of the visual noise and pollution on the screen.Well whats the solution then if not toning down the noise and pollution? 50 people casting meteor shower is still 50 people casting meteor shower, you cant tone that down without making it nigh impossible to see a single meteor shower. Its an inherent problem to having a billion different people playing in the same space. Yeah its cool seeing massive crowds, but when that entire crowd is casting particle effects youre gonna have a bad time. Trying to play with screenshake enabled is a recipe for disaster since the earth is constantly quaking.
>>567549935This is pretty much the reason why I did the new map meta twice and don't want to do it againOkay cool so there are some actual skill based mechanics and they added genuine difficulty with the need to dodge aoes of doomBut I can't fucking see any of it, my eyes literally genuinely hurt after straining so much to do that shit without dying, it's not fun at all
I can see everything I need to see in the new meta.VoE launch with all the Ritualists was insanely bad though.
>>567580253It's bad color design. Between the aoe attack clutter, the bright yellow platform, the not so visible whirling purple blades and all kind of flashbang from the players. It's so fucking stupid. I usually afk on top of the statue and still got full participation until they patch that shit down.
