>>570716349
GW1 failed as a PvP game because it was built for teams of 8 and relied on having a team of people with coordinated builds, whereas other explicitly-MMO PvP games tended to allow groups of flexible size and usually allowed lone players to just tag along and follow a larger group even if they didn't join the party outright. Any chance it had of establishing a niche for smaller-size PvP died when MOBAs started to expand beyond the original Warcraft 3 mod version of DOTA (which GvG was pretty obviously patterned on), except with smaller team sizes, solo queues, and progression that was limited to within a match (the time it took to grind skill points/Balthazar faction and go capture/buy skills was considered a major impediment to the game in 2005).

On top of that, ArenaNet set an unrecoverable precedent for themselves in how many skills and classes they added to the game with Factions and then Nightfall. Realistically, the game needed to sit with the original Prophecies skillset for a few years to develop balance, and when the expansions started to release, that changed from difficult to impossible, and prompted them to adopt a seasonal approach to balance where they would just buff a bunch of skills they wanted to be used in the next season, and nerf the ones they didn't want into irrelevance. That was a lot less interesting than the original proposition, that every skill should have eventually found a place, and PvP just tailed off from there.

GW2 was different because it doomed itself due to mismanagement and the lack of any real plan for post-launch support.

There were for sure some design issues that hurt it (while GW1 was a genuine attempt to beat mass-market MOBAs to the market, GW2 SPvP was playing catchup from the start, which you can kind of see when you look at how many launch-era Elite skills were trying to be MOBA 'ults' rather than an evolution of GW1 Elites).

But the main reason it died is that ArenaNet had no plan for how to keep funding the game after it launched. LW1 was a disaster which led to HoT being a panicked attempt to get SOMETHING out the door that would produce revenue other than Gems, to the point that the first LW3 release took NINE MONTHS after HoT to come out because they couldn't afford to have any of it in pre-production just to get HoT over the line.

Since the game was just scrambling to keep up from launch up until it fell apart after LW4, and competitive modes were seen as things where the content came from other players and development could be put on the back burner aside from the odd balance patch, it got neglected and eventually just burned off everyone but its dedicated audience.

That said, other than Lineage, I don't think GW2 is actually less successful as a PvP MMO than your other examples. It's just that it's MORE successful as a PvE MMO, and those games really don't have that.

I am returning and trying to decide between warrior and ele to do all of the story content on.

>ArenaNet had no plan for how to keep funding the game after it launched.
false.
gaynet very vocally had a plan in place for monetization, it was their whole gimmick for the game. they went all-in on thinking shitpvp was going to be some massive e-sport the size of league (probably even thought it would be MASSIVELY bigger, in fact) and that people would spend money to buy custom arena tokens because...???
they never really explained why the fuck anyone would be buying custom arena tokens evennif shitpvp had become a bigger than league e-sport, but needless to say the complete opposite happened, no one gave a shit about shitpvp because it sucked ass and almost nobody was buying custom arena tokens, which is why they then pivoted to maling p2wcashgrabspansions when it became inescapable for them to admit that shitpvp was a resounding and total failure
it was a shit plan from its very conception, but it was a plan nonetheless, and a plan that they very vocally declared many times over the lead up to and the launch of the game, it existed
though i'm sure they hope that everyone would forget that it existed, since if they had a single braincell among them then they would have advertised and banked everything on wvw and the subsequent gem sales from millions of server transfers per month, since that's the only thing that had even a remote chance of being a smash hit in terms of popularity
but instead they strangled wvw in the crib out of jealousy and in order to cut off the nose to spite the face, and they never stopped strangling it, ever increasing the force of which they applied to wvw's neck as time went on

from what i've seen in other games, pvp players don't really know how to cultivate a playerbase. toxicity and shit talking are naturally a part of any competition but realistically speaking, most paying customers (the people a business would want to attract) work a job all day and don't really want to get shit on by pablo no ingles for their few hours of leisure time. dad gamers get memed to shit but if you don't cater to them at all, and actively antagonize them they will take their money elsewhere.
also league of legends, valorant, what the fuck ever else are free and require less legwork.
walk someone through how to get into guild wars pvp and compare that to how long it takes someone to get into one of the other popular pvp games. it's a pretty big difference.
>>
>>570729017
wvw really doesnt take that much to get into, you can more or less get your bearings in a week of playing a couple hours a night and sort of know what you're doing after a month or two of the same, i'd argue other games are way more

spvp doesn't take much to get into you have everything, but it is unfun garbage as you know you're going to get outskilled by some dude with 10k hours on his 10th account. Every single black salad player is the same guy or his buddy. I hate spvp.
>>
We should exchange Taimi for Tybalt.
>>
>>570729931
i forgot to mention that boosting is an option if you are a paid player but the point still remains. there are too many hills for a customer who is interested in wvw to climb.
very few people are going to say "i want to play the wvw game!" and stick around for that long when there are alternatives with much less friction.
there's also the whole "i don't like this class in wvw!" debacle which means you have to go back to square one.
don't like a league champ? try another one in the next match. there's even a rotating selection of free champs to try out each week.

Most Elementalist damage is not Condi damage unless you're running a Condi build or an Inferno build (and Inferno sucks now so if you're doing that, don't).

Use Condi gear if you're playing a Condi build, and Power gear if you're playing Power.
If you're just leveling up or playing Core Ele or you just picked traits at random, just do whatever you want.

yeah i saw it firsthand, it was great
ohhh my lesbian lover died *yawn*

to me this will always be the image of the stupidity of anet. they couldn't figure out a simple programmatic way to disable idles during a cutscene, so they just removed the whole thing (except they did it in such a cheap easy way that mod authors were able to bring it back by editing like one byte)
it's like.. i'm sure there's some old timey expression here.. cows in the kitchen or something? when "content designers" are the only ones who have a say anymore and actual programmers have fucked off (or more likely been fired once their release contract was complete)

Imagine if it was just the default guild for if you were going through the story guildless, but if you weren't it actually incorporated your guild and your rank into the story.

If you want achivos from each expansion's 'turtorial' zone you have to make a new one each time iirc. But you can do it later at any time anyway, keep playing current one for now, you get new abilities. Nightfall is the worst starting location and takes ages to 100%, Factions is fast paced

They will be reinvented as proto professions with different names. Like precursors to 1&2 lineup.

gw3 combat/skill system is going to be so amazingly shitty to appeal to the destiny crowd
>>
>>570789664
This will be the preferred fashion in GW3 for me.
>>
>>570791796
It should remain there for you to retroactively claim when you max level, but I think the event will end before you can hit 80. Maybe you can hit 80 in 7 days before this event ends? I wouldn't worry about it too much though, astral acclaim is pretty plentiful
>>
>>570790906
Only Guardian and Revenant. There's no reason Thief can't exist.

However, I'd give it like 67-33 odds that they don't go professions/classes in the GW1/GW2 sense, and they instead invent some system based on choosing both your weapons and your patron god and then your "profession" is the combination of both. And that would allow them to have Guardians without calling them Guardians, because it's just a combination of Greatsword + Dwayna.

If they do have traditional professions, then I think Warrior, Ranger, Mesmer, and Necromancer are 100% locked-in.
Elementalist is like 90% in but they might do something weird since specific gods are associated with specific elements and the other classes are mostly 1:1 with gods.
Monk is in if the game winds up being focused on small-scale group play with well-defined roles, and it's out if if's a roleless action game.
Thief is in the game UNLESS they feel obligated to stick with only 6 classes and they keep both Monk and Ele, in which case it gets the boot for not being a classic GW1 profession

For NA you'll always find people to do map metas(world bosses and events) together without much issue with a few exceptions since those maps aren't popular no matter what time of day. There's like a 4 hour period where it's late for West coast and early for East coast so finding a group to do instanced group content can be slower than usual to fill up since only degenerates are awake. And like that anon said dungeon content is abandoned since Anet shifted the focus for 5 man content to a content called Fractals which replaced them, Fractals are like Mythic+ if you are familiar with WoW

Gee golly willikers, are you guys ready to play as the heckin vaelwardens? They have no talent left to actually create a story that requires complexity, so they'll skip letting you play in the actual Guild Wars and instead play as outsiders in the forest.

GW1 has even less skills available at any time and can be played on a fucking phone because it's so simple to control

honestly feels like it was written by ai already
especially this bit:
`Guild Wars 3 will be a buy-to-play game at release. There will be no subscription fee.

That model matters because it puts players in control. Our goal is for players to feel like their time in the game is something they choose, not something they owe. `

"that model matters" just sets off my aidar
>>
>>570822306
Here’s a clean, clear summary of the page — no filler, no fluff — just the core ideas.

ArenaNet says Guild Wars 3 is built around player freedom, co‑op without pressure, and deep buildcraft that encourages experimentation. Combat aims to stay fast, readable, and skill‑based without overwhelming players. The world will be dynamic and reactive, shaped by player actions, while the game overall is designed to respect your time and avoid grind.

as long as they lived hundreds of years, then die out between gw1-2, there will probably be dwarves in gw3. maybe in an expansion or mini expac that doesn't cost a fortune and possibly just free (like gw1 did with the forge and stone summit, small map with repeatable content, nonstop boss farm)...
same thing i think like >>570790757

funny because vast majority of current meta champs have been released several years ago and the prices have drastically been reduced over the years that any new player just gets champs for fucking free
>>
>>570835612
You are arguing with a schizo, but also XP boosters being p2w rely on context of a videogame.

>gw2, wow, xiv, any other western casual mmo
no. who cares about xp, it's nothing but soft timegating, you're not truly winning anything if you level up slightly faster

>old pvp mmos, korean slop and other games where leveling takes years and it has exp penalties on death
yes it is p2w because you can recover from death faster, higher level means you get to rape your enemies and control profitable farming spots.

>>570839091
I have not played LoL in a decade, but back when they still had runes and rune pages it was p2w, or at least pay 4 advantage, since you had an edge if you had runes and rune pages for specific heroes and roles.
>>
>>570840880
Prices have been drastically reduced because they have so many fucking champs. Over a decade ago, someone already did the math that if you wanted to own every champ, you'd have to play non-stop wins only for well over a year.
The funny thing is: Riot could absolutely afford to give all champs for free, and focus on cosmetics for monetization. Riot could absolutely just use real dollars, instead of psychologically manipulative fun-bucks, that come in uneven packages that don't match the prices, as to hide the true cost of any single item.
But every time you bring it up, league fanboys go: "Noooo, we like non-consential cock in the ass! It's actually good for some bizarre reason! Actually everyone else does it too!!!" I don't usually do the "my game vs your game" flamewar bullshit, I don't believe snoys or nintendrones is something that "really" exists, but jesus fucking christ LoL players are the most cucked beings in the universe, defend their own game ripping them off because they can't let anyone be critical of the game or riot in any way.

>>570843569
To be fair, it does leave a sour taste in your mouth when regular consumables are purchasable for real money. Even if it's "not that bad" in a given game, it always feels like "testing the waters". How many players will accept this? How many will still buy the game? And how many of them will actually buy the consumables even if you technically could get them in-game? So even if it's not literally the worst, most egregious way they could have done it, but instead actually the most harmless form of this concept, it is STILL a horrible precedent to set. Look at battle passes. We didn't complain enough when those started, and now every game has a fucking premium battle pass bullshit thing, where you need to PAY and YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING GET _ANYTHING_ you pay for the PRIVILEGE of being ALLOWED to earn rewards! Oh you didn't get the rewards? Too bad, seasons over, buy the next one chump! You can't just let them start doing horrendous shit, because it's the least bad version of it. Because it WILL lead to worse versions.

>>
>>570844429
you're talking about it as if it was horse armor, or deadspace 3's shit where it is the very beginning, where monetizing items in games was a new and novel concept.
the company behind the game isn't some new wet behind the ears competitor. it's capcom. five hundred dollars of microtransactions in monster hunter capcom. three hundred and fourty two dollars of dlc in street fighter 6 capcom.
because of that it felt like a "the higher ups are demanding microtransactions in the game. if we don't put them in we will either be replaced or the game will never release." scenario where they put them in almost in an act of malicious compliance.
it wasn't even a online storefront shoved into the game. they were sold as "dlc packages" which means they are one and done.
>>
>>570843251
I don't see them pulling it off considering they love doing festivals and such to fill out the calendar

FOMO sucks balls only because companies use it to keep you playing lest you miss an item you might want so you are most likely to spend more money. But 99% of the shit anet sells on the gemstore rotate out every month or so and you can even go on the forums to request specific items return in a few cycles.

So I can't really take the GW2 has FOMO argument seriously. Not even "technically FOMO" because you are not really missing out on anything.

Which armor class is best for charr, visually speaking?
>>
>>570866832
longbow sucks. ranger sucks if you try to force bearbow upon it. it is pretty good with swords, greatswords, hammers, maces, and axes.
every class can do everything but ranger kind of sucks at healing and buffing allies.
guardian is pretty strong in every role and has things that go from "fire spewing condi dps/healer/support" and "wannabe assassin that teleports" to "summoning weapons of light and healing with auras" and "trapper with an actually decent longbow". the main caveat with guardian is that it has very low health and survives via things like aegis (blocking attacks) rather than sheer durability or regen.

It's one of the most straight up raw healers in the game, you don't even have to use staff anymore because of how much healing you output. Boons were never an issue for Druid as well so I'm not sure why you think it sucks at buffing allies. The free search and rescue is also super comfy, even to the point that I get annoyed playing other healers at times. Revenant also got a giant boost in the support aspect with Conduit since you can spam the tablet for stability and CC which support Herald was lacking

Reading this shit reminds me of how, in Asheron's Call (1999~), the nefarious in-game Shadow enemies abducted the actual player allegiance monarchs (guild leaders), locked them in a floating spire, and wouldn't release them until they agreed to choose which of their human cities would be destroyed. So they chose the biggest most popular hub town, and the devs literally blew it off the map and replaced it with a smoking crater, teleporting any logged-off players there a mile into the sky so they'd die on login too.
Anet's interpretation of "shaped by player actions" is like.. if you do the renown heart, the renown heart person says "Hello again Wayfinder!"
>>

It's anathema to their obsessive control mentality and fanficcy writing. You know what I got excited for? That one little mini event they did around the leyline entity(I think, or it just used the same graphics) where at the end of the chain you'd very briefly turn hostile to other players in open world PVE maps. I thought it was going to be a prelude to actual open world faction combat and consequences for ingame decisions (silly me).

Anet blew up LA twice and kept players in Vigil's Keep for like 2 weeks while LA was being "rebuit".
Not to mention nightmare tower in the middle of Kessex.
They did live reactive world, but it burnt out devs with non stop crunch and if you missed the event you missed it forever. Not very sustainable strategy for an MMO that supposed to be about horizontal progression and being able to come back any time you want.

Don't give me that bullshit. It was PLANNED, scripted, and the new shitty disneyland theme park version was already ready to go. Nobody was inconvenienced or gave a shit in any way. Whereas in AC they gave players the choice, they could have picked any irrelevant town, but they specifically choice to inconvenience themselves by destroying the most popular hub, and it wasn't rebuilt for realtime years. It was a much more meaningful decision than Anet's dumbass "living world" nonsense.

yeah it is meant for fools or lazy people. you can instead just gems to gold, or farm gold yourself, and get the glyphs for a fraction of the price. a bag slot expansion also is more worthwhile in regards to the inventory space you'd save by having unbreakable tools.
way more cost effective to just save up for the glyph you want and get a bag slot and fill it with tools.

Newfag Elementalist here. I'm about to afford ascended gear from the Wizard coins. But I don't yet know about the stats. Do you go zerker, or celestial, or some secret third option?
>>
WvW is nothing but thieves, necros, amalgams and evokers
>>
>>570898067
Depends 100% on your build and intended activity

Zerker is good for straight power builds that don't depend on condition damage
Celestial WAS the WvW king for most of GW2 but then Anet nerfed the fuck out of it specifically in WvW

Don't listen to AI either way and look up builds

>>570899245
Problem is: I'm too noob to know what build I really want. All I know is: I wanna do all the PvE shit. First I gotta do the whole story Journal, on the way I'm gonna unlock my elite specs, and after that I wanna do Fractals, I wanna do Raiding, I wanna Metas and whatever else endgame PvE activity there is. But I have no Idea which build to play for these.
Now, if it was any other MMO, I could just relax and not worry about it, do one thing after the other, but since GW2 has this horizontal progression thing, I gotta already worry about the type of gear I'm getting, because it's kinda gonna be "forever gear". And I gotta know what stats to go for, despite not knowing what build is gonna be right for me.

WvW roaming has always been broken ass tier garbage

You either play the flavor of the month or join a zerg

deviating from either means getting vaporized and giving someone a bag
>>
>>570900623
Good old decision paralysis
There is no good answer, sadly. Just try to find a build you think you can stand.
>>
>>570898067
Generally in a pve group setting you will always have a healer to wipe your ass, so you can just go full damage with Berserkers. If your main focus is going to be open world and enjoying the story then I will suggest celestial instead. You can stat swap your ascended gear anytime with the mystic forge so long as you have the respective materials. Since you are a light armor with a low health pool I will suggest buying a Jade Bot Core:Tier 10, this will give you 2000 extra HP
>>
>>570900623
Celestial gear lets you yawn through almost all non-instanced PvE without ever worrying about dying especially on something like Tempest. You'll do a little bit less damage, but not that much less and it's very beginner friendly.
>>
I should really stock up on materials for legendaries before they start adding HoM. I have a feeling that materials are going to be way more expensive in a few months, especially T6 and mystic coins. I almost just want to just convert all my gold into these.
>>
>>570900858
>Good old decision paralysis
It's a bitch, ain't it?
>>570901304
I have considered "hedging my bets" with getting celestial. Celestial seems to have a bit of everything, works for solo play, and I guess is also a sleeper condition build. So if I go celestial, I can probably keep doing solo living world and expansion stuff, while not totally gimping myself for group play.

The good thing about Celestial in particular on Elementalist is that most Ele weapons (well, the good ones anyway) tend to work well with both power and condi, so Cele's hybrid damage approach actually ends up working well. I'd say Ele is the poster profession for Celestial stats in general.
Runes can be of your choice whatever you want to focus on, but if you want to just double down on being a hybrid you can use Divinity runes.

Thief is only spammy in endgame PvE. The initiative system is really fucking fun in PvP where it creates a very satisfying dynamic combat pace where the power of your burst is directly proportional to how long your downtime is afterwards, and you really need to use all your skills to their fullest to get results.

I doubt legendaries are going to have much to do with the hall of monuments. I'm pretty sure HoM is basically just going to be a series of achievements with specific cosmetic rewards that will be new to GW2 but also be in GW3. It seems like people think it's going to be some system to bring all your cosmetic bullshit forward to GW3 which doesn't really make sense in a few different ways. For one they're not going to just plop crappy GW2 looking weapons and armors into their fancy new fangled engine, and they're certainly not going to remake every single armor and weapon from GW2 for GW3. I think it's probably best to not do any "preparation" for HoM since most of it will probably be new achievements being added starting with its release.

I mean, maybe. I kinda doubt it personally. At best you still risk holding the bag if you grind and buy a bunch of legendary mats and they end up not being needed so the price plummets. From how they described it, it's in my opinion most likely going to be a slightly more involved Seasons of the Dragons with the Return To achievements.

Nta but I think having points for legendaries is entire possible, nay even likely. Remember HoM 1: You get points for piss easy stuff like, linking your accounts, beating the campaign, having a rare and a unique mini, Have 5 titles. These are hard to NOT have if you have played Guild Wars 1 for 2 weeks. But then there's also points for the absolute most degenerate grinds in the entire fucking game that take literal months to get.
The way they balanced this, was by stopping skin rewards at 30, and only giving titles for further milestones, making it essentially a "normie players can get all the actual rewards, hardcore nerds can get the bragging rights".
So that makes it very likely to me, that GW2 HoM will give points for legendary items.

I'd be running dungeons weekly if they had a proper queue. I'm not idling outside a dungeon with a listing in LFG in 2026. Fuck of with that.

Dungeons in all future MMOs should be open world but very challenging to solo. A place a solo player who is overgeared or very skilled can survive, but where people naturally will want to group. And because it's open world, you can go solo, explore the easier sections alone, and organically meet people to team up with on the way.

You and 1 or more randos you're not even in a party with can team up spontaneously, help eachother out for as long as your goals align, then part ways.

Tower of Nightmares on Open Mode is actually the perfect example. It's fun as fuck to be grinding through it solo, link up with another player to improve your odds, then by the end of it 5+ clusters of players come together to beat the final bosses and clear the final floors.

You start out struggling to clear floor 1, push through floor 2 with someone you just met, clear floor 3 with a group of 5+, and then by the final bosses you've got 15 people, none of them in a party, all doing their own thing. Glorious.

Aion had some cool open world dungeon areas like that, it was a pain to solo because mobs often came in packs of 2 or 3 so pretty much everyone grouped up to do that content. Sometimes you'd find other groups doing the same content and even with multiple groups it was still possible for shit to hit the fan if someone did a bad pull or fucked up their CCs.

I'd not call those a dungeon but more of an "elite zone" since the concept of "dungeon" is a closed/instanced zone.
I recall that zone with the Orc-like enemies where you'd see the Chieftain something as a boss where you needed at least 24 players to hope to beat.
In GW2 we have the centaur zone at Lake Doric not as annoying or difficult but its kinda like that.

Spamming the hologram arena
>>
>>570967804
Oh weapon skill version? Where do I get that?
>>
>>570965952
They're all pretty easy.

100 fireworks, the launchers around hoelbrak are free and respawn in real time, you also get consumable firework gizmos from event inventory chests that have 9 firework charges each.
Moa race 5 times, takes 250 zhaitaffy if you don't want to gamble by betting on all five moas at a time(50 taffy per race)
Smash 150 pinatas, there's 31 in hoelbrak and you'll have to reload the map to respawn them
Mount Race 15 times, if you wait for the race event and start the adventure at the same time, you can get credit for like 6 laps at a time.
kill 300 minions, just do the arena a couple times
Kill all 5 arena bosses, easiest one
Eat 1000 zhaitaffy, self explanatory
Get silver medal in pinata adventure, that's 13 pinatas smacked during the adventure, this is hard if you don't know where to go, but after you figure that out it's brain dead easy.
do 5 stampede events, just go to the map where a stampede if going to happen and kill holograms.

Are quickplay fractals a good place to start if you havent done any or are they just pointless for progression?
>>
>>570978285
Quickplay doesn't advence your personal fractal level. If you're fractal level 1, you could do 100 quickplay fractals and still be fractal level 1.

They're pretty much just for practice and working toward the legendary quickplay fractal gloves and color lenses for said gloves(default color is purple).
>>
>>570978285
They're really good until you get the initial Legendary gloves, and then they're good if you have daily or weekly WV objectives that want you to complete Fractals (assuming you're not doing regular Fractals at the time).

They're not POINTLESS to do past that point, because you do get the Fractal Dust stuff which you can trade in for the +5 Power/+9 Agony infusions and those are actually pretty valuable, but they're not really a substitute for regular Fractals in terms of rewards.
But play for fun rather than rewards, so do them if you're having fun.

Berserker and Spellbreaker can both use them, you take the Defense traitline instead of Discipline. Every time you CC you give yourself stability and a damage buff. It's also cool on support Paragon because of the amount of defiance damage you can do

Maybe there's a roaming warband that made it to Orr back then... maybe they'll add us going to Ascalon and playable charr in an expansion...

I've been autistic enough to justify Sylvari existing and being playable in GW3, you should do the same for Charr

Is there any point to giving taffy to the dead fish dude? Why is he at every event begging for currency?

i think its just one of those "we ran out of ideas and time/we dont give a shit anymore so here's a fake achievement where you just throw away a bunch of stuff into a void and you get 5 achievement points so completion autists will have to do it"

5 Achievement points if you give him 1,000 taffy 5 times for a total of 5,000 taffy given netting you a grand total of 25 achievement points. That's it.

Thats because lorewise jackal portals are an abbadon thing, so they only really make sense to be in the desert. I figure they'll bring them back when they finally decide to do a miniexpac in Dzlana or whenever we go back to the desert
