No, but its an easy fix to at least make them fun for general PvE.

A condi necro can solo almost anything.

Not saying the hammer cant use any help. Im just saying the fix for the warr can be done very easily. We should speak out though, I once started a huge thread on the engi forums about how scraper has no identity and two weeks after we actually got the scrapper rework. Making big threads with good opinions and constructive criticism absolutely works

Well, it's not that good for open world since neither rifle nor bow pierce.

Its comfortable for open world PvE

Between those three sources of quickness you should be able to shoot your rounds off fairly quickly. If you spec into boon duration you'll be able to perma maintain quickness in PvE this way.

No idea why they nerfed it. At least piercing in PvE would be great. Perhaps a compromise like I offered could work - make only the autos pierce. Perhaps they can remove the bleed from the auto since rifle is power anyways in favour of piercing autos.

I mean, at least make the rifle autos pierce since the bleed on the auto doesn't make any sense.

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

> With a response such as "Don't buy AMD." just feels like you're just repeating the same information that's stuck for the past 7 years, because even if AMD(current) is on par or the better modern choice these days, All that ever comes up in regards on the GW2 side is old regurgitated information. "Oh Gw2 is bad on AMD, intel is the best for Gw2." "You have low FPS because you're on AMD." "This game is single core focus so Intel is the better choice." it's funny to assume it isn't worth it for gamers (most gamers play more than one game) despite AMD's products being up on the top seller list. Outside the Gw2 pocket your post reeks of brand bias, or maybe you haven't been keeping up with the times?
Heres why AMD is useless for gamers:
The vast majority of games use up to 4 cores max. For a workstation AMD eats Intel for breakfast but the large number of weaker threads in AMD products just doesn't help when your games use only 4 cores. Since single core performance on Intel beats AMD and since both of them have more than 4 cores intel is better for gamers. Since AMD has a much smaller market share most games tend to be optimised better for intel.
On the GPU front nvidia is just c0ckslapping them since forever with superior hardware that doesnt heat loke a volcano and consume power at normal levels. Since AMD is an ant compared to nvidia most games are optimised better for better nvidia gpus.
I understand it feels bad for you but thats just the reality of things.

It's not about intel doing anything. It's threads like this one and talk about other gamers that can't play their favourite game because they bought AMD to save a few pennies. It's awesome that AMD exists because it keeps the greedy lazy bastards at intel honest but as things currently stand they aren't worth it for gamers since so many games just don't work well with AMD. That's without even mentioning their garbage GPUs.

You're always gonna have issues with AMD with how low their market share is. Buying AMD CPU's/GPUs is a mistake if you're a gamer.

You are correct on most points, its one of the main faults of GW2.

Don't buy amd.

Only MMO I know of without the pointless constant gear treadmills.

We will never see especs outside of expacs.
They are one of the main selling points of expacs.

Yeah, it does.

You expect too much from a mmo without a sub. No sub = slower stream of content

There's no competition over "raiders". If raiding is THE thing you want from your MMORPG you shouldn't even consider GW2. Theres no competition there, you should just play wow.

If people had actually been playing the zones all along, they'd probably have had most of the currency saved up already. I know I did. The skyscale's biggest complaints were about time gating, rather than grind.

GW2 is nothing like WoW. OP makes zero sense.
-
This game is absolutely NOTHING like WoW. Raids/fractals are a side show in GW2. GW2 still caters exclusively to casuals. By the time GW2 releases 3 bosses lol WoW gives it's players a whole raid of 10+ bosses. You simply cannot play GW2 as a player who's main interest are raids. The only mode that constantly gets updates is the casual LS. GW2 still has no gear treadmill and none of the grinds are actually needed or offer much.
Anyone who thinks GW2 is similar to WoW clearly hasn't played WoW or just didn't think more than 2 minutes about the issue.

Compared to something like SWToR which laid off a bunch of a people a year into the game, not 6.5 years.

We've not often (I can only remember one quarter) where it was said Guild Wars 2 didn't meet expectations. And you know, lots of companies go and produce stuff that never gets off the ground. It happens all the time. Look at Everquest Next. Blizzard with Titan. Titan was completely cancelled, but we're not going to use that against blizzard, are we? I'd call that a double standard. Saying that failed projects, or ones that don't materialize indicates anything without knowing a whole lot more than we do is just baseless speculation.

> We opened a store that failed, because the guy who was supposed to run it backed out the night before opening and we didn't really have anyone to replace him. Sometimes circumstance can cause something to fail that has nothing to do with competence. Markets change. Situations evolve. It's entirely possible that NcSoft saw their games profits going down pretty much across the board and they felt they had to take action to restore investor confidence and this is what they felt they could afford to cut. This sort of thing happens in business pretty much all the time.

Not use that against Blizz? What? How? Why?
Blizzard is a fucking garbage company now and have been pretty much since they got in bed with Activision. Major failures of any kind show something, always.

As you said, most MMO’s have that so you and everyone else who likes to grind for what will be made irrelevant can go play any one of those. GW2 is for people who’d prefer to work toward fun things, horizontal expansion — gliding, mounts, etc.

(You’ll have to concede that posting on the GW2 forum does not, in fact, mean that you like or even currently play the game, going by some of the other threads posted, but I did jump to an assumption).
That explains it all. I'm basically retarded before my morning coffee. I think GW2 is designed for specific players and the progression reflects that.

A massive failure like this speaks volumes about ANet's competence though.

Youre talking about the rage burst skill of the bow. Even if we accept LB is fine, which I can see since it burns, The auto on the rifle is miserable. It doesn't pierce and it bleeds. Giving rifle auto the a ability to pierce might actually make rifle at least decent. Its not about everything dying with one button, a piercing auto on. a ranged weapon allows for a lot of comfort when tackling aoe situaions.
