If the last LW is anything to go by, GW2 will be dead before they release EoD.

Hell, even if by some miracle we get there it still does not bode well, if what we are getting now is what we can expect from GW2 devs moving forward. If GW2 doesn't die _before_ EoD, it'll die _because_ of EoD.

lol your face of dissapointment when the elite turns out to not be anything like it will be priceless

Third party meters that sniff info from the client to tell you the performance of other people should be banned.

An official meter that tell only your own info should be available within the client for everyone to use

If people want mounts they can get PoF

This whole "we arent getting enough free" is ludicrous and sad.

I wouldnt say "could"

I would say "should"

If they make an UW heavy expac, completly revamping UW combat is the bare minimum they should do, or it'd be a finantial suicide unless they get a kick of selling players an expac that most will hate and not bother playing after mere weeks

That said I dont even see how a revamp would work, I dont think there's anything worth salvaging in the entire feature

I really hope the UW content is minimum or better yet, nonexistant. Keep the Jade Sea frozen.

There aint enough lipstick in the world for that pig, man

Its ANet being scared of WoW, nothing more, nothing less

we got an expac announcement so people are somewhat hyped now. but the expac is a good year away from happening.

and up until last week people were pretty down on the saga thingy and the pace and depth of new content and playerbase numbers were hurting bad.

in a few months when the announcement is old news and the distraction is spent everyone will be back to complaining about "expac level features" and lack of content.

and by the end of october WoW will release a new expac and as its typical sweep a huge chunk of the casual playerbase that is here.

going to steam and ensuring a large flow of fresh blood with money might let them weather the bad times ahead until the expac hits.

incredibly underwhelmed at the implications of heavy underwater combat theme. its beyond horrible and I dont want to do it for even one second

Q4 2021 if lucky

considering the amount of actual ingame work the teaser shows, that is absolutly none, it wouldnt surprise me if it is way more than 1 year away.

- remove PvP, absolutly noone plays it anyway, just a handful of bots

- remove WvW, while its in better shape than PvP still has a tiny, minuscule population

- now we don't have to waste time and resources on dead modes, rebalance the entire game based only on PvE, as it should have been from the start

Just because your ok with halfassing an entire system of the game and having giant gaps in the weapon selection doesnt mean the devs are ok with that too. They probably have standards and professionality, and arent happy with doing a piss poor job deliberately, unlike you.

Look at the previous expacs. No new weapons. That's exactly what we'll get in the next one. You better start accepting that fact....or dont, keep dreaming and set yourself up for a bigger disappointment, I dont care, you do you

ANet wont make new weapons. zero chance. just thinking of retroactively adding a single new type weapon, let alone several, to every set in the game would be mindboggling.

Its not a matter of dps. its a matter of usability and convenience. The dps might eventually add up the same, but outside playing whack-a-mole with damage sponge bosses that stay there for 10 minutes with a thumb up their arse, you'll notice the difference in TTK.

and its even more noticiable in PvP.

load someone with burning and they have a split second to hit the cleanse button or kiss the floor

load someone with bleeding, and they can text a friend to discuss yesterday's episode of their favorite show while deciding if they cleanse now or wait until someone puts something actually menacing on them.

Bleeding, the redheaded stepchild of conditions. the only one that didnt get a buff ever, and it shows. oh man, how it shows.

I understand that burning is a "burst" condition and bleed is your typical longer-lasting dot. Im ok with it being different from burning, but the current difference is beyond appalling and unjustifiable.

Torment can do more damage, and brings something fresh to the table, with the whole move/dont move dynamic. And we have tormenting runes to sweeten the deal, pure gravy.

Confusion hits like a truck and brings something fresh to the table, with the cast/dont cast stuff dynamic

Even poison has more damage, and it brings a heal debuff to the table on top of its damage.

Bleed? yeah, its plain boring. and what else? oh, it also sucks. baaaaaaaaaad

This has led to the GW2 lottery: is your condi proffesion bleed based?

no, it isnt? congratz, you won the lottery, your class is awesome and probably in high demand.

is it? too bad, you suck, go cry in a corner nerd.

Cut the duration of all bleed skills by 50% and increase its damage likewise across the board, and maybe add something "extra". This would still have bleed being worse than burning, but not by THAT much.

I want to kill things with damage, not with tickles. I could swear Im seeing mobs grow a beard and die of old age, rather than off my conditions.

I have a few of the "turn everything green/orange" infusions, but this was my first decent one, so also appreciated. I have nothing to complain about in the account or individual gifts. I will miss the level boosters though.

I also got the godless dye

Man, its fugly. Amazing it costed that much

Sure, but then make them challenging too. only get tickets if you win by at least 300 difference in plat and above, or only if you control 90% of all maps for at least 1 hour.

pvp and wvw is welfare armor, you just have to show up, cut the time if you want, but also make it a merit, not a hand-me-down

Pistol thief is super easy and boring

Pistol engi is super complex and annoying

Pick your poison

I cant wait to get it, use it for 10 secs tops, remember why I have stayed the hell away from any underwater content for the last 5 years , and never look back

P.S: if Cantha has a lot of UW content Im nopenopenoping all the way to New World. Not gonna spend a red cent on that

I found it incredibly long and tedious on top of extremely unchallenging (I mean, has anyone ever failed it?). If that's the level of content Anet can produce I hope the next meta is just an empty, tiny map where you run simply looting chests lying around. Lets cut to the chase here, if the only requirements to beat a meta are having a pulse and being half awake, its not worth more than a few minutes.

Also not a fan of yet another typical boss fight where you cant see shit because the game becomes a light show straight out of an epileptic's worst nightmare when you put more than 10 people whacking something at the same location

Nah, there's absolutly nothing in the gem store that interests me in the slightest

Mirage's mechanic is a cursed design problem.

Its so ridiculously good that in order to balance it you have to neuter it completly, therefore breaking the class in half. Mirage is totally binary, either OP as fuck or UP as fuck, no inbetween. They'd have to redo it from scratch in a totally different direction, and that'll never happen.

Dagger MH needs bleeds in the auto chain, make it a condi/hybrid weapon

And 3 targets, please

Resume of the prof subs: all professions suck and are unarguably the worst in the game and the most in dire need of attention/buffs, while at the same time all the opponent's profs have it so much better and are all overpowered

I suppose they only release the ones they want to hear feedback on. The rest are either still up in the air too early to reveal, or set in stone and dont need to hear an endless QQ

The 3 game modes of GW2:

* PvE (Player vs Environment)

* PvP (Player vs Player)

* SvS (Scourge vs Scourge)
