If for example DRMs had the same difficulty as raids or strikes, I wouldn't even touch them. Sure. And that's somehow supposed to make them incomparable? Do you think the only things you can/should compare are the ones that are exactly the same? What's the point of comparing then? "I don't like one of these, so you can't compare them!"? I don't see how that's a valid answer to my question. >I'm kind of glad they added something that everyone can participate in, instead of adding elitism content, which I'm personally running away from ever since I stopped playing other games that were focused on such content. The game has content for everyone, I don't know why people aren't satisfied. Not every piece of content in the game is supposed to be done by every person in the game. Raid and Strikes are a proof of that. Why some people might be dissatisfied: because this was supposed to be an lw episode release, meanwhile what we got are 3 replayable ""stories"" with mindnumbing fights, forced ""npc escorts"" (as in "don't run too fast, stay a little longer in this instance! -not because you want to but because we force you to") and the bosses that are literally auto-attacked to death inbetween the forced disengages to clear 3 targets every x%. Easy content? Cool, no problem. Easy content full of fillers to simply make you stay in the instance longer for no real reason? That's just bad. And how can people be satisfied by that in a game that's supposed to be an action mmorpg?

Krysard responded to OP/thread itself, so your claim that the thread isn't about that for the sake of just dismissing the whole answer that's literally talking about opening statements seems pretty out of place. If you think the thread was about "warrior being antifun" then it's because you've repurposed it in your own mind. Also repeating because you completely avoided it in your answer: if you measure "fun" by number of available key presses then change the class to the one with the most of them and you won't have anything to complain about.

To me they seem to be a worse version of raids/strike missions. Definitely not a fan.

And number of keys available to press isn't an absolute metric by which you judge a class "being fun". If it is, then just pick a class with most keystrokes available and have fun with that, that's always such a weird complaint for me. But yeah, for me it would be better if warrior's leading role was more.. warrior-ish.

It's not even 1 but taking 2 utility spots as well. Also other class got some F2-3-4. Warrior at best only F1 (Core+Berserker) and F1-F2 (spellbreaker) How can you write that you "totally agree with him" and then write the opposite of what he said? :expressionless: > Remember when Banner broken and disabled? suddenly none wants warrior in raid. Yeah, I remember and that's a lie. I was playing both as a warrior and with warriors in squads when the banners were disabled, nobody seemed to kick them out for the class they're playing when they just joined for a dps spot.

> @"The Boz.2038" said: > I never unrestood why the warhorn wasn't fear, tbh. Doubt you really don't understand why, seeing how it's probably the exact same reason some necro players vouch for that change here, but in case you really can't come up with anything: because necro already has a kittenton of fear sources and probably doesn't need to (/shouldn't) spam more of it. What's the difference between "*having another source of fear*" and "*that source being a difference cc effect (like daze)*"? The traits and runes that improve them. You stack one type of *whatever* on a build/class and it's much easier to make that effect a lot stronger across the board. Putting daze on a weapon gives necro another source of cc without risk/possibility of overloading it with effects you use for other cc (fear) sources. Overally the reason you want that additional fear source is probably the exact reason it's not there. And for me merging the trait "that I don't pick anyways" (Banshee's) with a trait "that I pick anyways" (FoD) effectively buffing/overloading (the fact if it's overloading is subjective, yes) the latter goes against any reasonable point of the traits existing in this game in the first place. Buffing "what you choose anyways" defeats the whole purpose of possible choices and I don't think it's a good direction of proposing the changes.

No, they shouldn't. Play the game instead.

Not trying to be mean or anything but I don't really understand this sentence. You mean just updating the unused skills/traits? Yeah, I think that's a good idea. > That aside, i would still love for a new class. I feel like my idea is unique enough, youre just looking at "oh magic & melee Its this. We have that" my idea is much deeper than that. um... is this really that unique? Here's what I think about it: 1. Mana -that's pretty much just thief's ini system (even with an example of ini/*mana* partially restored for successfull strikes from p/p unload skill) or maybe even better example: revenant energy system with skills still having cooldowns. At best, "mana system" is an idea for an e-spec for one of the current classes. At "worst", we already have the equivalent of that in the game. 2. light/darkness aspect seems to be just a more limited elementalist class mechanic. Just like above: at best, this is an idea for espec. At worst, this is just cutting ele profession mechanic into half and slapping it on thief/rev. I can't really agree this idea goes so much deeper than what I've said, but maybe I misunderstood something here.

So if there was a new Profession added it would have all 3 specs like everything else.

I feel like anything past 3 would be overload so at some point, i feel it would be realistic to expect a whole new profession especially since they've only added one.

Where, when, by whom exactly? > Either You weaken boon application substantially in PvP and WvW or you can offer more and stronger counter play. One method is a major feel bad for players the other opens new possibilities. If the devs want boons to be a significant part of the game (and not sure why they shouldn't be, to a certain degree which will always be subjective) then I don't see why you'd suddenly need much more counterplay to consistently dismiss them in every possible situation. You talk about it "hyper focusing balance on a symptom of a problem as opposed to the main problem" because the boonstrip is somewhat limited and then try to counter boon spam with a boon strip spam. This is not a solution, this is basically piling up more of what you don't want in the game. Overally nah, I don't think we need more boon strip spammed from "every" class in the game in every possible scenario.

Do you understand how free markets work? You think nobody would use TP for anything above 10k, but the truth is that currently the resellers dominated the tp buy bids simply by "first come first serve" principle, making it so any uninformed/new player that got lucky with the drop just sells those infusions for 10k price which then can be re-sold (for ingame items/currency) outside of tp for huge profit leaving the initial (10k tp) sellers effectively scammed out of gold. A SINGLE person willing to pay more than 10k for an infusion would force the re-sellers to compete for those infusions by raising the buy price to their actual perceived value. If they don't want to compete for them, then they won't have an opportunity to resell anything. How's that a problem?

Oh I guess I have to quit the game now for wanting to play it differently? Then you can't, because it's not a single player storytelling game, it's an mmorpg. If you want to play through the content then you'll need to understand it, learn what you need to learn and play through it. Not that open world is really so oppressive that it somehow stops you from *doing the content* in general.

If I want to feel like a god I open Control and one-shot everything. It's a "solution" for you *wanting to feel stronger than you are* without learning actual mechanics the game tries to teach you. If you learn them, you won't have much of a problem with expansion open world content. If you don't want to... core content is still there for you.

And not taking pleasure for being ganged on by mobs to death? I'm not a masochist. Difficulty is fine, but I am stating it is a bit too much. Where did I say about it being criminal? No need to be melodramatic just because I disagree with you. Most of the problems in ow content are solved with simply understanding the game mechanics, that's all (you've even wrote it yourself: "**bullied by pre-programmed monsters**" -that's the point here, they are preprogrammed, they are predictable, learn what they do and act accordingly). And I'm not a masochist either.

> @"AliamRationem.5172" said: > PoF mob density is no worse than HoT. However, the aggro range on many PoF/LS4 mobs is far longer. The overall effect is that moving around without being harassed by every mob within a square mile of your position is significantly more difficult in these later maps. Personally, I can't stand it. I find it really irritating and wish they'd reduce the aggro range to the way it was in HoT. I don't mind (or, more specifically: I don't care). But... we literally have mounts with long range dodges, or capable of skipping *anything* with flight... Now also with stealth. How is this a game breaking problem for anyone at this point?

Who are you quoting here? Also please don't make it easier, if someone wants to keep snoozing in core maps, then they're free to snooze in core maps. Thanks.

No, it wouldn't and I don't understand where your idea even comes from.

Nah, dd doesn't need swipe range buff.

Yup, would be nice.

During the interim state, where both items occupy the inventory, this results in the unequipped item taking the next available slot.

Example: you equip "weapon A" from any slot in your inventory, which causes your current "weapon B" to unequip and go into the exact same slot "weapon A" was previously in. Same goes for armor. Is this not what you're talking about?
