Gw2 has no features such castbars and so on, that's why you have to manage enemies animations.

At first, not knowing the new enemies skills, you could get downed or simply be slower in order to take them down, but that's pretty Normal.

But once you understand enemies and you are capable with your class, there won't be problems at all.

Many players force themselves into tanky builds, refusing to learn how to play their class with a pure dps equip ( which means to be able to avoid death with no defensive stats and maybe skills ), and because of that they could find hard to deal with some enemies.

But we could simply look at gw2 during from the past till the present.

* people complaining about too strong champions

* people complaining about too hard story bosses or achievements

* people complaining about pof veteran hp

* people complaining about jps difficulty

* people unable to deal with meta events until they get semplified ( still now a pug could manage to fail TT )

And so on.

The problem is the player which was not good since the beginning, and because of the possibilities offered by the game ( tanky builds, leaching events rewards, buying runs, etc... ) they didn't put any effort at all, because it was easier not to learn.

And now probably many of them are paying the price of this ( unable to raid, to master full dps builds, to cooperate, to use combo Fields properly as for skills rotations, unable to high lvl fractals, etc... ) and still pretend an easier game instead of put some effort into the way they play.

But you know what?

I am really amused and I personally do enjoy everytime ANET decides to put ''hard''( which is btw not really hard, let's be honests ) content.

Ah i forgot.

Please disable both mounts and glider in the jp zone ( also put Check Points to prevent Portal selling or exploits ).

Don't worry, it will eventually go down ( no need to block or delete ) ;)

I usually use a mix of

* Stack them and convert into ingots, stars, etc when i reach the cap ( but i do have a maxed storage so the situation could be pretty different ).

* Convert them with the LS4 converter ( 3 way to purchase with ascended materials, but still the same item bag type which can stacks ), and stack bags forever.

This is the right subforum for lore related questions/discussions.

Didn't know that was already in use ( i tend to cap 1 camp and meanwhile kill a sentry and dolyaks which is also fast to get lvl 3 ).

How do they set things up quickly?

Are you genuinely naive or what else?

Currently there's not a system like the one you propose, but the idea of factions trading kills ( given an exploitable system like the one you proposed ) is a real one.

Yeah.

I am just against removing features just because the majority of players use them in a wrong way ( or else, why would I to limit good elitists with good behavior? ), though sometimes a fix seems to be needed.

In my opinion, also, selling raids is not something which helps new players ( or casual with no guild / group of friends ) to start raids ( though it is useful for those who don't want to raid and prefer to pay ).

But that's a different story.

Yeah, that's the point.

But since, hypothetically speaking, those who don't use dps mater play with the same kind of players, there won't be a problem.

* 5% of the playerbase use dps meter.

* that small part advertise in their LFG that they use dps meter and what class/build are they looking for.

* In order not to waste time and effort, they also ask for a currency link ( LI )or equip link ( ascended socketed equip ).

I mean, how could the 2 worlds collide?

Obviously there's no way they can, but the fact to see the whole LFG full of

* Sellers

* Elitists

* Wanna be Elitists

discourages the casual, who accuses the elitists because they have tools to find what they search in order to save time.

It seemed that the one who didn't use the dps meters were the dps meter used, that why i asked.

Btw as said before, just feel free to browse the forum.

Also the part i edited before you replied

>If people don't care to play with those who instead would like to use a dps meter, there won't be a problem at all.

But instead here we are, and the fact that the topic is still a problem only shows hypocrisy.

And you can't deny it.

There's no effort nor respect in what i see ( not you obviously, but those who put blame on elitists ).

> @"vesica tempestas.1563" said:

> a non meter user do not complain about meter users because they dont use meters

Did you mean because the do use meters right?

If so, you are wrong ( just read this thread or any other thread about dps meter and elitism related stuff ).

If people don't care to play with those who instead would like to use a dps meter, there won't be a problem at all.

But instead here we are, and the fact that the topic is still a problem only shows hypocrisy.

Yes please.

Reducing powercreep, removing broken sigils and so on would be definitely appreciated.

> wrong way around, in game non dps meter users don't give a kitten that meter users are using meters. As we know fine well the issue is that _some _ meter users abuse other people based on a 1 dimensional gaming aspect. Worsr, some people use it as their personal kitten meter..and so on and so forth.

In game as here on forum those who don't use dps meter complain about

* those who use it,

* those who look for a specific class with a specific build,

* those who don't take them in raid because not enough LI,

and so on.

The wanna be elitists are imho the problem, not the real elitists ( as well as those who tend to put a blame on other and can't admit that they sucks or simply make mystakes ).

Definitely not.

Giving pips for each kills would be like farm spots and kkthxbb in few hours.

Now you can get around 6-10 per 5 min.

Do your math and see how many pips could you get bytrading kills.

Definitely more than 6-10 per 5 min.

ps: also currently guilds duel themselves in wvw skirmish selfmade battles, so yeah people do already this though they don't get pips.

And waste plenty of time.

Not really convenient.

Blaming addons or dps meters is senseless, just because the players complaining about those features are definitely over 90% of the whole population ( just read the forum and compare the complaints vs those who agree with this ).

Shortly, harassing a small part of the community because the want to be sure the players who want to play with ( mostly due to the poor lfg/inspect tools ) is, imho, not right.

No1 does because it gives no advantages.

Put something like your proposal and you will see ( though it's obvious that whenever there's the possibility to exploits, players will exploit ).

Let's say that every item will be avaible 2 times per year. Check wiki for specific items information.

I do agree if they will also introduce a way to forbid other players from inspecting ( everything, from traits to equip, from dyes to skins ).

The possibility to share should be allowed but should also remain a choice.

You have my respect then, brother.

PoF maps are Easy as core.

HoT are twisted at the beginning ( remember that only 2 out of 4 are twisted ).

If you have issues and want to avoid frustration you could try to exploit it by doing first pof and then hot with mounts.

There will obviously be a jp with a vista a the end o/

Maybe more of them.

I loved abaddon's ascent.

I didn't like chalice of tears very much though i completed it a few times.
