So, after checking the whole situation several times.

I do agree with letting Ms. Price go, but Peter? No, that I don't agree, I don't think he was rude toward the community, he provided his input and defended his friend, even though he might have choose poorly in this situation.

I don't think they should have been weighted the same in this situation though

I hope Peter returns to Arena Net some day in the future as he is a decent man and a very polite person.

It did succeed and brought a nice new flavor to the game with the mounts. It could have used better rewards for hunts and metas at release, and to be honest, it felt way too easy.

But we're just starting the expansion. Let's see this same question when this expansion is near it's end.

No thanks, OP.

you're missing the point here. It's not creating a thread complaining such content exists that will stop Anet from making those. It's simply not buying them. If you, your friend, and other players don't buy the skin lootboxes, there is no point for their marketing team to push this strategy forward. That's all

You know you're not obliged to buy those and they won't affect your gameplay right.

As informed before, the P/P would be for situations where he won't be able to reach the boss, it doesn't provide valid dps for an entire encounter. One example is on Keep Construct after the red/white orb phase ends and the boss will spam cone AEs providing debuffs to players on it's meele range.

Wow this is still ongoing. I doubt, you'll even get a dev reply here. They won't develop a DPS meter tool. It's easier for you to see the Trade function enable than a dps meter. Not even WoW has an official inbuilt dps meter and it's been running for what, 11 years? Game Devs know how feature like these can hurt the game if made official. The decision to use and create these tools falls to the community and how they want to play the game.

Also, ArcDPS won't steal your credit card for being a .dll overlay tool in your Guild Wars 2 folder, while at it.

Since you seem to be starting raiding now and have medium zerk gear, might as well go staff daredevil. It's the easiest spec to get you introduced to raids.

Don't take it the wrong way. I was saying it with the best intentions. There is a 4 page thread of people whining or defending dps meters so I just didn't want your argument to be see in a wrong light :)

I dunno why you used the word gravity though as people will just believe you have a negative opinion before reading your argument. How about "importance"

Yeah no. Watching them together feels like watching a CW melodrama

Anet hs worked with the modder and accepts that DPs meters are part of the game, as such, they may as well be a PART of the game, not some hackneyed mod.

Wrong. DPS meters and logs are suppose to help players analyze their performance and group performance to verify what could be improved. maddoctor.2738 provided a pretty nice complement explanation regarding the reasons why you won't see an official dps meter.

Sorry but 8 attempts with a certain build are just too low data to provide an accurate benchmark. Would believe it more with a more plausible numbers like 50 attempts or more.

I wonder how many of you here actually played or play WoW... "Whaaah the 7.3 benchmark is balanced!!!". After 10 years, you're actually getting balanced numbers, but guess what? It's for Patchwork fights, where you can stand still and dps without a worry in the world. You know how many fights you have like that in Tomb of Sargeras? None, you'll always have to dodge mechanics, dps adds, and there are also cleave mechanics. Do you think these numbers stay like that?

Oh yeah. Add an official tool where players can take it in the wrong direction and use it to filter group composition and ensue more elitist behavior. I wonder what could go wrong. ...

This is best done by 3rd party because it can become a divider and hurt a lot the community of the game. When done by a third party developer, the game developer's can simply wash their hands and leave the decision to the players, so a tool like this will never, EVER, be developed by ArenaNet. If you're getting filtered from group, it's not because the developers provided an official way for players to do so, but because the players themselves did it and decide it. So no blame falls on ANet for community toxicity and elitism.

We could use the build/trait saver though, which a third party developer was able to do. That's a different story

I am actually looking for how the next balance and raid patch might level everything. At the moment PoF specs are somwhat overtuned and some older specs are still underperforming, while others basically always overperforming due to their kits (looking at you guardians) The raid environment could use some fresh air with more builds variety in it.

So in short OP wants GW2 to become WOW. It's comparing bananas with potatoes tbh, both games have different playstyles, and aside from the tech suggestion about having boons to apply to squads instead of groups to give other spot to other roles in the raid, I couldn't find anything else more useful.

Ironic though is the fact that GW2 always stated it was a game without the holy trinity and a pseudo trinity had to be assembled so raids could be doable as they are of now

There is no point in calling the Waypoint unlocking a p2w feature, at most i just tier it's importance and usefulness with Oblivion's Horse Armor and the Mortal Kombat X Easy Fatalities.

I was glad they didnt make this fractals seeing how lame and stupid thaumanova ended. Specially when they shoehorned Scarlet there

The processors can either be Intel® Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz or Core i3, or an AMD Athlon 64 X2 or better

You can try comparing your CPU with the recommended ones on cpuboss.com but other than that, I believe the cheapest solution would be asking someone that has PoF to attempt playing the game at your PC.

Graphics look a bit updated and there are also several on going effects and details in the map, which would explain the increasing in requirement. I for once could notice some fps drop when the rain started in my game.

For further information about the game's official system requirement, please check: https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201862958-Minimum-System-Requirements.

If your system doesn't meet CPU or GPU requirements you might experience crashes, with that said, I'd recommend you inviting a friend who owns PoF over to your house and test if he is able to play in your computer.

Regards

You can always invite more players to join your party and they can participate in the missions with you. This should help you if you're having issues with the mission. The LFG tool has a tab to search more players to join in a story mission, if I recall.

Best part was Kormir lecturing Rythlock for releasing Balthazar, when in Guild Wars Nightfall, she awakened the Apocrypha and read from it.
