Dante.1508

Its just Laziness same reason Asura get mostly male costumes.. No other mmo i ever played does this like GW2.

I paid 700gems and my mage knight is still bugged to this day on Asuras.. Its disgusting.

Its why this games mechanics are in need of an over haul and why making content where you need a team is bad over time.. especially in GW2.

The games not DEAD, its just customers no longer want to do older content daily so newer customers or those returning are screwed.. Its just badly designed and needs to scale off one customer.

People have been asking for racial updates for 7 years, sadly Anet just ignores these things.

Its not just Anet its gaming developers in general.. Customers have been burned so many times here and in other games customers expect the worst..

Just look at how much GW2 has degraded and changed over the last seven years, Customers on all sides have complained asked for changes and fixes and still nothing but nerfs grinds and microtransactions.. GW2 is not transparent at all.. Forums are very overbearing and we cannot even get what many ask for.

So..

Very much agree with this.

Expecting anything more at this stage of the game is simply hopeful ignorance because its very clear to me and a lot of others that they only wish to make this content. Raids, WvW, PvP, Fractals even E-specs, classes, Races, mounts , legendary gen 3 are all things we will not see. It's done. And the damage is irreparable unless they decided its something worth putting resources into, but clearly they deem it as meaningless and "Not worth the effort".

And this is and will be guild wars from here on out. Lower your expectations and give up hope; Let them do as they do and play the game as the intend for you to play which is if you have the goals you wanted to meet met... come back every two or so months. I've become so casual with my time now because its like I just don't care enough anymore, I loved the theme and story and even the map of the new episode. But im almost done with the collections and all the acheivo's and then I won't be back more than likely till the next release which is what is intended.

> You know what? I think you're absolutely right. We're done.

> One of your comments in a different thread wasn't a real eye-opener for me but let's say a little bit more than the tip of the iceberg to finally accept that this game won't deliver the content I like to play and therefore I can make my peace with it. It's totally fine and healthy. I will show up here and there, maybe play for some days or not and taste the story content when it arrives and I'm in the mood for it.

> Time to play some other games and shrink my pile of shame. It's about kitten time.

Smart decision, i'm not sure how long i'll continue myself, i have zero interest in PvP, WvW, Fractal and Raids its not why i play mmorpgs.. And its why i took a four year break. I don't think i'll be here much after Christmas at current game and developer quality.

Personally not a fan of Pay to win..

Occasionally on certain classes but mostly just to clean out my bags.

Please don't nerf these two classes, please for the love of god fix all the rest... Stop going the easy route and destroying the game in the process..

> Offtopic - capalda and whittaker have been garbage and the main reason dw has gone downhill faster than kralkatorrik fell out of the mists. Best ever gotten? Matt smith alone blows them both out of the water, and Tennant has always been the best hands down. Whittakers only in the series *because women* and nothing else.

>

> on topic - kill off taimi, braham, rox was *ok* at best, canach and rytlock are great.

Again off topic but totally agree christopher eccleston was by far the best, and David Tennant was a close second i have not watched it after the first Capaldi season or since.

On topic please leave Taimi Zojja and Canach, the rest honestly are window dressing.. I very much detest The charr characters..

I got it in a chest.. man its super hideous and for once i wish i'd never got it..

I threw it on my necros as its thematic but i'm debating using it tbh.

The Commander can wield everything he/she is a god...

Totally agree its just dumb and annoying.. I avoid the map for now.. Give customers a toggle to remove the abomination. When will devs learn not to put crap all over customers screens..

Its not immersive its annoying and obnoxious.. Repeat icing up a computer monitor is not immersive at all, it literally breaks immersion as we are suppose to be the character not watching them through a video..

The characters(lore and story) themselves are really good, but the writing(How they act etc) and acting(good god the voices) they get ruins the characters for many people.

>

> Canach has been the only real true compelling character in the entire HoT Story aside from Rytlock and they leave him abandoned for whatever reason. I dont know what happened to the team that made the Heroes from GW1, but they need to get some new writers(IMO) for some of these characters.

I don't mind Canach, hes at least an interesting salad.. Other than that i'm not a huge fan of the writing or acting as well.. I agree as the poster above says its like they are aiming at 12yr olds.

I still as characters go prefer Zojja and Taimi as characters because they actually have emotion and play their characters decently. The rest as i said really do not interest me in the slightest.. that even goes for the rest of destinys edge.

I've actually enjoy more bit parts than the main actors.

That has also become inane as of the last two doctors.

Yeah no.. They are all so over acted its just painful to listen to.. And the dramas..

Thats because the rest are all window dressing and honestly just useless... Especially Braham.. and Rox.. its just sickening.

They should just dump all this excess baggage and just have our player character, we are always on our own anyway between stories.. At least they killed off Trahearne.

I dunno why so many hate Taimi... Shes the only one of the group worth my time.. Honestly if the rest died i'd not even notice but taimi would be my loss..

Man people chase serious carrots in this game.. Just enjoy the game stop with the grinding people, its unhealthy as.

Power + Precision + Condi + Vit + Toughness + Ferocity

all major.

Honestly when it comes to forums complaints its usually pvpers and wvw.. But i agree raiders are up there as well ruining the game a little at a time.

You can yes but a day or so later you've completely forgotten who that person you played with was, and when they go offline the friends list only shows their account names.

I disagree it gave people something to do.. And if it wasn't for you you could literally play ranger with no pets at all.

Yes i agree its possible.. but again its the pvpers and wvwerers that are holding these things back due to the modes and the constant need to fine tune balancing.. really limits the rest of the game sadly.

I agree op but the whole WvW and pvpers go nuts everytime something new pops into existence.. Those two modes really limit the games creativity.

Honestly there isn't.. Its really a pointless craft.

Yeah after the first hundred times these things get boring fast.

Thats why no one bothers to get it outside of WvW customers..
