It's a video from more than two years ago. He made another video after that, though still around two years ago, which does still have comments on it. The latest video is more about how he enjoys the game for the first time, and he even mentions a few reasons why he was unable to really get into the game, one being combat, which was difficult for me at first as well. It wasn't until the action camera was introduced that I was able to really enjoy the combat, and it could be the same for him. If ANet didn't want to bring in more players, possibly ones that tried the game prior and didn't like it, they wouldn't be adding new things, just more of the same.

That just tells me he really wanted to like the game, but couldn't find what he was looking for.

I was playing WoW yesterday. Started fighting an elite (boss) for a world quest, then a paladin came up to help me finish him off. I died. The paladin mounted up, rode over to me, started to rez, but stopped the cast, mounted back up, and rode away. I said "Thanks for the rez." His response was "Your (you're) not my concern." Seriously? He was five seconds into the cast, just to cancel it. I logged out and came back here, to a game that encourages community.

I find WoW to be fun, but that attitude, which more prevalent than a helpful one, is enough to keep me from treating that game like anything but a single player game. I guess I shouldn't have expected any kind of help, ever. I blame GW2 players for being so nice, I always get a rez when I need it. It's your fault, guys, you ruined other games for me with your help, and good attitudes.

Depending on the last thing you played, I would say there have been many changes for the better. With HoT, you gain gliding, and with PoF, you get mounts, each with a useful ability for traversing the world. If jumping puzzles were your problem, the mounts will help diminish that throughout the core world and some much of HoT. They were made for PoF, so they went help you skip anything.

I have just come back from a longer break, and am enjoying leveling my silvari revenant, but I also already have the mounts (minus the gryphon, dont make enough gold to buy one) and gliding. There isn't much in the core world i cant get to at this point. If I see it on the map, I can get there.

The. We elite specs (two new specs per class) have a huge impact on your characters, so much so, they are almost new classes themselves. I would say give it a try, and at least think about PoF, then HoT if you decide to stick around. They make the game so much better.

Before the launch, I wanted horses, it that was before I saw the uses for each mount. Now I'm glad they took the time to think outside of the box.

Riding a skritt riding a horse, that would be ok.

> In my opinion mandatory open world pvp would cause the player population to plummet.

I would quit. I have to walk away from my computer often, and I would prefer to not be dead every time I come back from that. Just like with BDO, the population isn't as high as it could be due to mandatory PvP. I would be fine with a few. We zones being OW PvP, but everywhere is too much, and not what I wanted when starting this game.

People don't seem to understand you can't just change the core of the game six years later. I PvP when I want, and not because others want me to. Some people play this game to kick back, and alienating them is bad business.

This story is more like we are Captain America, and our team is made up of unique characters that have their own background and personality. The Avengers team doesn’t always agree, or even get along, but their individuality is actually one of their greatests strengths when working together as a team. It’s about strength through diversity, not strength through assimilation.

Did they aim to make an annoying crybaby that runs away when things get tough, like world destruction, and when something goes wrong, he blames you? Because if that was the goal, great job. I think you are misunderstanding that the character gets under people's skin, and they don't like him because he sucks.

I'm a bigger fan of ESO, honestly.

No it is not.

FFS, get over it. Buy them, don't buy them, no one cares what you do. Just stop trying to things away from people that have fun with them.

I could only read this as if you were seven, and throwing a tantrum. That is one long sentence, followed by a normal one.

I didn't read any of this. The only redemption he can have is to die saving someone else, or die holding off joko so you can get away, or die when he has to stay on the meteor to manually detonate the bomb.

Also, losing his tongue would work.

It's because of your big ass heads. You have the smallest bodies, and the largest heads. You try to design for a watermelon on top of a pile of Vienna sausages (lol, ok, but not).

Once we’ve decided that we are going to be offended I thought all of us could go to LA and swim around in the water with that weapon spamming skill 1 (to look properly determined and menacing, you know). Then we could roleplay walk through the city carrying a torch. If that doesn’t get our point across there’s always forum complaints and threats to never spend another dime on the game.

Not everyone knows how to use a torch.

WWWWOOOSH

He is a bit of a rude dicks.

"You let them take taimi?!?!?!"

I didn't let anyone do anything, where the fuck were you? He acts like a 12 year old, and I'm pretty sure he's at least mid 20s.

He doesn't add anything but annoyance to the story. He runs away, then seems pissed at you for doing the same thing he is doing, then gets mad one of his friends he abandoned gets taken by some evil god while helping you.

Looking forward to his demise

> I think an interesting feature in the game that is underutilized that could be used more is the "held" channeled skills. The only one I can think of is Guardian's Staff Skill, Empower, where you hold the key to keep channeling it and releasing the key stops the channel. Had more skills used this type of activation, perhaps we could make these channels more powerful and lengthen the channel to make them more punishing if not interrupted but still get at least part of the effect if you are. Like if Churning Earth got its effect after a short channel but if held longer and longer before releasing, the effect would get a wider range and affect more foes.

> EDIT: I stand corrected. Empower activates just like any normal channel. Not sure if it's always been that way or if I was remembering it how it once was...regardless, I think it could be an interesting feature for many of the channeled skills to have varying strength depending on how long one wishes to channel it.

ESO heavy attacks work like that. I guess I never played attention to the channelled bar, lol.

It could be like deer, the same word for singular or plural. Asuran seems more like people that live in asura, and asurans just doesn't seem right.

I don't PvP that much, and I don't do that much high end PvE, so I don't really care that much about balance. Bring on the new class, I love new abilities and learning new functions that comes with a new class.

There is no need for a sequel yet, unless they have some groundbreaking ideas not seen in other games. Something like WoW 2 could run on a much better engine, and have action based combat. As of now, there aren't any ideas I can think of GW2 could implement, other than a better engine, which doesn't seem worth it for the small upgrade.

They don't, and they shouldn't. You did your part by reporting, Anet will do what they think is best. No matter what, you have no right to know a private matter between the company and their customer. If you continue to see the same player, and they continue to cause reports, then there is reason to worry, but I expect that doesn't happen very much.

It doesn't matter that you are buying it for the skin, they are still selli g it for convenience on top of that. I find some things too much to spend on a game, but others don't, and I don't wish to take that money from ANet. If you don't want to pay the price, move on.

There's a warning, you choose to ignore it and then when it happens you don't get to act like its everyone else's fault that you chose to do something you knew could potentially have consequences. So now we have to either tone down video games or waste resources on a super special "slider" for the minute fraction of people who shouldn't be looking at flashing lights to begin with. Next it will be that people with severe motor control disabilities can't respond to on screen action fast enough, so we'll have to dumb the game down again or spend resources on a "slider" again for that 1%. Repeat ad nauseam for every indivudal's personal "I can't do this because of x" until we're all just playing a game where you press space bar every 5 seconds to watch a black and white "you win" screen (with audio cues for the blind who also suddenly have a need to be catered to in complex mmos).

> Say you had a walk light on a road cars never used. How long do you think it would take until people were jaywalking? One day some car goes down the road for some reason and hits someone. Yes, I can see the driver's lawyers saying there was a 'do not walk' sign but that does not excuse the fact that it was a de-facto pedestrian area there.

You can ignore traffic signs all day long, but if you slam into the back of a car, it's your fault. Ignorance due to overuse is not a legitimate excuse. It wouldn't hold up in court, because a warning is in place.

And yes, if it is bad enough that people are doing damage to themselves, they should stop playing games. People know the risks, and it is up to them how much abuse they would inflict on themselves, but it is no one's fault but their own.

I agree there should be a slider, but it is no one's fault but their own if people choose to ignore warnings. Overused or not, a warning is there to provide protection to absolutely anyone that may be affected.
