No you wont.. 7 years and still not a single legendary drop in open world PvE.. Not even a precursor..

Mine does the same.

I'm not going to hold my breath.. Honestly it would great but i doubt it.

OWPVE Druid spec, a non sword condition warrior spec, Guardian tank build..

Asuras have like three or four hair syles and face options that aren't horrific.. More actual normal hair options for Asuras would be amazing..

Very Conan. I'm a 100% for naked women in game.

Yes Yes i do.

One build tabs are pointless until the gear and build aspects get joined together.. Two the prices for these things need to drop a lot to be viable.. Three we need a lot more actual slots.. and four classes need overhauls to be even viable for multiple builds.

I'm finding it hard to make more than one build per class because so many weapons and builds are terrible.. They nerfed so much i can find more than one build.

Honestly how about actually fixing older content.. Instead of adding grindy new stuff to support yet more useless currencies.

There is enough guides and core build guides available for players who struggle to improve. As a matter of fact, most people who come to the "Players Helping Players" section of the forums asking for help often have huge flaws in their builds, playstyle and execution (which is not their fault, that's what asking for help is for).

I check every day, the core builds are sub par and are the minority compared to especs.

So we are all suppose to play 6 characters to be as good as an one elite spec..

If this is true why aren't the core builds all over metabattle, 99.9% of the builds are espec builds... For ever style of content not just hardcore raiding.

I would say many.. But forged are my most hated due to how many condition they stack on you and their game mechanics like agro radius is dumb...

Others are

Mordrem Snipers... they are just way overtooled..

Pof Harpies.. You either kill them instantly or you are dead, just stupidly overpowered, tougher than Balthazar imo..

Itzel frogs and Risen Hylek due to the insane burst damage and condi craziness.

Chak are just not fun at all. I mostly avoid thos maps outside of doing Hot stories.

Those aren't challenging they are just overpowered cheap mechanics.

Its grindy because making content takes time.. They need to keep customers slaving away to slow them down.. Personally i ignore most achievements these days.

I never even got the new T shirt.. That said i also detest the charr and their GW2 lore, GW1 Charr were excellent and they should have stayed the enemy.

Agreed this game gives zero choice these days.. its either play the power creep expac specs or nothing at all... Its crazy that they totally voided their old content and will not overhaul.. The game is stagnating and dying due to Anets way of game design.

Most core classes have real issues surviving and passing Expac and living story content because of the power creep.. the newer content is extremely OP to them.. The only core class i can think of that breezes through later content imo is Engi.

They don't have to respond they just have to revamp them to be less hostile, buggy and clunky...

Have some empathy, and ArenaNet will likely communicate with the players more, but as it is the forums have become little more than anger, negativity and even borderline hatred. I'm a game developer myself and on our last project we had to shut the forums down because it was giving the other devs anxiety.

Thats exactly what they want... So customers will shut up and get over it.. Well no. These Build tabs are a clunky broken mess and we actually have less build choices now than we did before they were added... Before we had three builds PvE, PvP and WVW, now we have 2 gear builds.. Its a joke.

Is there an option to turn off camera shake i looked but cannot see one.. I did a quest yesterday that shook my camera so much i felt sick as.

Typical toxic pvper.. Good luck with your nerfs.

> See most of the people in my guild are older and we don't really tolerate nonsense on discord. A certain basic level of decorum/respect has existed for a long time and anyone who breaks the peace is going to get told off and/or banned. Not every guild is filled with 17 year olds.

They aren't 17 year olds they are 30-40 year old that act like 17 year olds... And they are everywhere. They seem to be attracted to Discord like moths to a flame.

Its always the same with multiple groups and multiple discords.. Its just not people i hang with its the majority of modern generations.

All these ideas would make Pve unplayable.. Except maybe "condi damage needs to be tuned down" its crazy everywhere at the moment enemies players its just lost the plot..

Yes condi damage needs to be toned down across the board.

Same and if you try to buy them you get errors and login server issues.

I reset my modem now the SMS Authentication has popped up but no SMS arrived... So now i can't even login..

I switched to my druid (new build) and now cannot stay logged in and cannot use the Auction house at all... My ping in options says 0...
