Dante.1508

Please give us an option to turn off skill and mastery points hints if we haven't used our skills yet..

When you gain skill and mastery points there is an annoying nagging thing at the top of the screen, and unless you use them its there everytime you waypoint or map load.. very annoying and there is no way to shut it off.

I only use shortbow, longbow is useless and far too slow.

I enjoy tyria story, hot is just insanely tedious.. and pof while better is just too large with no waypoints.. and those brand areas are just silly.. The living Story is just atrocious all round (not attempted 4 yet)

As a player with a fair few characters 1 to 3 is my only choice.

If you craft Ascended gear you might want to pick up the Vipers exotic recipes.

For me Living Story 2 and 3 were atrociously hard, i gave up half way through 3 it was just unplayable solo. I'm not going to bother with 2 again either wow.

Yeah pretty poor, and mage knight costume is still bugged on my Asura.. 700 gems down the chute, Gem store is pretty bad lately.

Its why i gave up doing Fractals low versions are dead and no one bothers to join them.. The whole design is atrocious.

Way back yes.. these days businesses are there to satisfy their shareholders.. Not customers.

I use a dual dagger bleed vamp heal build on my Necro and it works amazing in PvE that said it requires constant attacking to be efficient but i find it really fun.

No e-specs required.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSEFgE1ZYZERMsw2VX7ojRGpDvSb6D-zRJYmx/gkLEino9rK/XkhIRSjkEQSJrF5/tA-e

This is a fun PvE build not designed for dungeon stuff.

You can switch Axe/horn for Staff.

Uhh we aren't on earth.. So its fine. Yes i know thats not how planets work.

What is an e-spec? Elite specialization? If so obviously it would depend on the class and spec and they (Anet) would be opening a can of worms selling specs because with how much nerfing this game receives, and customers paying real life money for them etc..

Also paying for specs would in my opinion be entering pay to win style gaming as customers with less money might not be able to join groups that require paid specs.

Personally i would not have deleted the character, i would have just collected points and dealt with it, that said most dailies are 80+

Yes they are but there are some situational ones like Marauders etc as well.

Considering we have to buy Living Stories and expansions i'm not sure where the free aspect comes in.

Wow seriously, again this seems far more a GW2 mechanics problem then builds, i totally understand why you are miffed tho but i'm not sure what we as customers can do.. No pay? No play.. both sound like they will do very little to stop this.

I misread.. sorry but still 40 seconds is not a huge deal.

Well that really goes back to how silly some of this teamed content has become.. You know needing spend 40 mins to change gears just to do some virtual content says more about the insane content than the builds imo..

True i understand now but why not just make a dedicated character for raiding or fractals etc with 6 builds and one for pve with say three.. Its what i would do.

Well we have had to deal with these things for years either way how has everyone forgotten this.. What did customers do before ARCDPS, i'm just saying its not a huge deal.

Most customers didn't even know Arcdps existed.. I'd personally forgotten it had tbh. But i don't use mods at all anymore.

You do realise needing a whole new build just because you switched a sword out is a bit overkill right..

Welp it sucks, but its within Anets right to do this, so live with it or don't imo.

I guess a lot of people here are new to mmorpgs business practices.

Thats why we are here, and not playing those games anymore..
