I play the game with an old foot pedal set I got from pole position 2 and my forehead.. May as well stay in practice, mom spent big bucks on lessons

Yeah that's it

Kilt em so fast the server was like "..... ... Oh, geez.. sorry dude you died a second ago"

Or,

"Ganker" is a fiction, an excuse fabricated by people playing a team game with the smallest possible team.

Pretty sure scrapper will be adequately represented without the gyro.

Some guys keep campaigning even when it's their turn on the fotm carousel, sheesh

Crazy as it sounds, I'm pretty sure 10 years after it's gone people will talk about WvW like they speak of DAoC now.

Unless major, unlikely changes happen in the industry. But I'm betting on another 1982 before studios stop plagiarizing each other and try to be original again.

Very true

An old legacy from before paid transfers and megaservers, and one that didn't get addressed.

Good example of ranger can-do right there.

Only 6 years in, hadn't noticed shared cool down.

DBL has a long history of walls being more symbolic obstacle than barrier. Its a natural consequence of putting your fortresses at the bottom of holes.. Which is why our ancestors didn't do that.

Do please enlighten us on the meaning of mount

The light field needs to go.

But I don't have a clue what should take it's place..

> @"RisenHowl.2419" said:

I.E. Adjusting obsolete builds up to current power creeped levels, which invariably results in a new set of obsolete builds as they overshoot and add further power creep....

Ah, the Canadian warcry

Ranger already has AR covered.

Warrior will have to settle for musket. Long reload, atrocious accuracy, basically a spear when it's not sunny... etc

I don't think most of Anet thinks about WvW at all. We're a sideshow and I'm glad _anyone_ on staff cares or notices us. Doing so likely takes them far from the company spotlight.

Can't argue with that.

But as Mr. O'Brien says, you're here for the pve. Considering he flatly told us so, and directs gw2 with that mindset, actually killing other players sometimes requires creativity.

He pointed out, even on your initial example, of a way to dismount others. There's a difference between not preferring rifle builds and not even having one in your pack..

In that line, a smart dragonhunter runs double melee but swaps gs for lb situationally. No one build is best at everything.

1. Buy a go-pro

2. Buy a oculus rift

3. Connect the go-pro to the oculus rift with some software that randomly adds between .2-.7 seconds of lag to the image display

4. Put on head

5. Have someone throw wrenches at you from close range

6. Dodge the wrenches

Once you can force-sense your skin bruise free, you're ready for today's wvw
