It was making me giddy it was so funny. Some of us were jumping up and down in the mosh pit while others were trying to fix the amp, and it was chaos but good. Only surprising thing is that someone hasn't suggested turning the moshpit into open world PvP area. Well, if they make more events like this, someone certainly will. Ugh...

IN HIS UNDERWEAR. > > No trinkets at all, not food, no utilities, and no armor. I was playing on my Revenant Herald with two exotic Berserker's Iron Sword of Earth with Superior Sigil of Earth on both (because I bought them off the TP and didn't bother to change the sigils) and my Exotic Berserker's Lightward's Battlehammer of Accuracy with a Superior Sigil of Accuracy and a Superior Sigil of Force (because that's the hammer I have for when I run hammer on my Herald, so I didn't waste gold buying another exotic hammer). I waited until the airship gangway was down and I stepped onto the top of the pyramid to start the timer and I stopped the timer when the city gates fully opened and Kasmeer walked out. I did not use any mounts or mount skills until they would have been unlocked in the story, and even then only used raptor and long jump. I died 4 times - 3 against the stupid dogs - and was downed one additional time. I did not camp hammer, but switched back and forth as appropriate and necessary. Also, I did not use my glider to get off the pyramid faster, but I did use Facet of Elements for the running speed boost. So, was this your first try? No? yeah, it wasn't. Get one of your friends who desn't play GW2 to do it with any equipment and then make another post to compare properly.

> @"Blude.6812" said: > Zoid it's been discussed and rejected. Use the search please. !!!!!!!!! It's just a bad idea for this game. BTW , (IMHO), players that keep revisiting this idea could easily play a game that supports it and stop asking for something that Anet (and from what I have read most plyers) have said NO to. It's a bad idea for any game where PvP isn't the main focus. I'd suggest to the OP some games where it's already there, but i don't know any. From my understandin, korean game developers love and support gank squads, so go look into one of those. Oh, i almost forgot. In those games, the pre-established gank squads would gank the OP, and that isn't fun. HAH! Also, it's just normal game play in those games, not some random ranked crap to get rewards, which is the main point, as the OP knows most people are not interested.

When we consider that any and all meta events are filled to the brim with AFK "leechers", it isn't much of a group event to begin with. So i assume anyone i see is there just to make me and perhaps few other do it all for them so they get the rewards. This is the norm in "game as a service" and most multiplayer games. The less i have to deal with other peoples BS, the better.

The fact that they are human only additions might be a problem for some people, but since most people play humans, it's not a big enough problem for anet to care about.

> @"artcreator.4859" said: > It's just too easy, been playing with new people and they wanted to quit due to the first leveling maps, its just a steam roll, walk up, press 1 on key board, move on, It's a great game, but man the level of quality from the new stuff and the old is massive, almost 2 different games. love the game though and looking forward to next xpac, hopefully it can fix this so the game can have a better future. Funny, considering that's not how i felt when i started, which is something i can assume we share considering you're still here. That's a problem for your friends, not the game.

If you expect other people to suddenly start thinking like you and just quietly stop posting suggestions for its improvement, then prepare for disappointment.

Or at the very least, remove the arbitrary limitation that you can't use all skills underwater.

Do the story, or if you prefer, start doing map completion. Not like there is anything else to do after that other than daily metas.

However, with no greater threats to unify the races of Tyria they might fight amonst themselves, but her task is also to maintain balance so we will see. > > Anyways, that's not the topic of the thread. If your hatred for a fictonal character is so strong that you'd derail a thread to talk about it then I... urge you to reconsider. Let's keep it to the races. I've said it before but I would like more done with the Kodan. Part of it is likely due to me just being close to northen themed stuff due to being scandinavia, but I also find their religion and their magic, and their connection to the world and history with it facsinating. Why do you pretend to direct you post to me and then don't even quote my post? If you have something to say, say it. The lesse races don't matter, 'cause they are lesser and unplayable. Since anet hasn't even made an expansion focusing on Asura, Charr or Norn, and the next one will be probably about Humans again, the lesse races are not even on the list of important races, and they never were. They were set up to give life to tyria, and they do, so YOU, the HERO can save them. Besides, i doubt any game developers will ever do anything less than "It's doomsday again, people!" scenario, because for some reason people like being the center of the universe who is the only one who can do it, while at the same time being the chosen puppet whos only purpose is to hit the thing until it stops twitching. And then just wait for the next thing to hit, because only a hero can. Pfft... As i said, anything else would be nice, but the chances of that happening are astronomically low.

For you, it's to make you feel better, to give you the illusion that you're helping. For anet, it's so they can see the 1 in a billion report that might hurt their sales, which causes them to take action swiftly and decisively, while they ignore everything else. That's it.

> @"Batel.9206" said: > Because the game's population is not stagnant. Every single player is not a veteran from launch - there are many new players who are just venturing into HoT or PoF for the first time and slowly getting the hang of things. I know I was a total newbie when I first stepped into HoT...got my rear handed to me more times than I could count, and it took me until somewhere around Tangled Depths to actually figure out how to play my chosen elite spec. > Or they have a bad internet connection. Or a potato computer that renders gameplay at a speed of a snail glued to a glacier. Or they're distracted in real life. Or a myriad of other things. > > Bottom line: just because it's easy for you, doesn't mean it's easy for everyone else. Yeah, and then on the other hand: Most people who have played the game for a while, the so called "veterans", just activate auto-attack and watch netflix/youtube while they leave someone else to actually play the game. After all, they'll get rewarded equally regardless.

Well, i tried whispering a few obvious bots in an attemt to see if any of them would respond. Mostly there was nothing, but a few times, for those with 5-10 bots following their character on their main account (usually a mesmer for portals) doing metas, they were probably watching netflix/youtube while "playing", so they did answer with the usual empty rhetorics. And no, don't bother with the usual "you don't know if they're bots" or if you feel called out by this, then please explain how a single person uses 10 accounts at the same time without using programs outside GW2. Educational, to say the least. I'm sure they felt bad on being contacted, which i admit was almost the entire purpose, but since they are still doing what they are doing, it's not like it matters. Would have been funny to get banned for that though, but i guess i avoided that with less than explicit questions. What does this have to do with the OPs question? Nothing, just seemed like a close enough thread to put this in. But still, you can't know what goes through other peoples heads, so why someone would do what you said is beyond us all, especially since they blocked you so you couldn't even ask for a reason. You should shrug and move on. I guess if reporting them makes you feel better, you could try that, but know that it's pointless.

GW2's weapon and armor designs are very shallow. Especially when compared to other games, they're ugly and unimaginative skins just bathed in Christmas lights. :( In reality, it's mostly the same in all MMOs/multiplayer games. Even if the game starts with more(or less) rational looking equipment, as soon as they realize that some people with lots of money will buy every gaudy piece of crap, it almost becomes exclusively that and nothing else. I mean, it MUST be popular considering how it's mostly the same. Maybe not in every game, but in most for sure.

Everything in PoF was tedious. > > That's not a thing in most places of PoF maps tho, so how about not pretending it's true? > If someone consistently is "stuck for 5 minutes whenever dismounted", then that's some solid l2p issue on their part, probably after skipping (or getting absolutely carried through) big chunks of what the game offers. I don't think the game should steeply decrease the difficulty level with new releases, that doesn't make sense to me. Of course it is a "learn to play" issue... Let me guess: I'm a "casual" and i'm ruining your "engaging elite challenge" of killing the same enemies 3 times in a row with turbo respawns and extra long aggro range which seems to home in on you as soon as you get within a hundred yards from them? Yeah, talk about dishonest. Doesn't happen everywhere? Well coulda fooled me as it does happen on any spot where you might have a reason to dismount on.
