I feel sorry for the designers, being forced to work in such a constrained engine.
-
I like open world PvE unbalanced. More fun that way when you can switch characters and have completely different builds, play styles, and challenges.
-
I love my deadeye. Stealth + Damage. Very fun to play and huge damage to a single target for incredibly little effort. It's my go to for my "chill and kill" class.
-
I like fractals well enough with random people. But sometimes it's quite rough even in the 1-25 I bother to play.
Strikes I just don't like. Of the ones I have done, they always seem to be a matter of "everyone just attack this thing" and you get 1 hit killed a lot by the boss. No concept of anything but just spamming attacks. So a mixture of boring, yet frustrating.
I did one time with a group that was training a raid, and I frankly understood none of it. Except that I was forced to change to a character build that I really really sucked with.
So strikes were a funny thing for me, they convinced me to never bother trying to raid again. If strikes are to prepare you for raids. I have a bad image in my head for raids.

Joke not withstanding. It would be cool if the dailies were more like a job to allow your character to role play. Allow you to pick an NPC to work for, and every day they pay you for completing a job. You can work from 3 NPCs to do 3 jobs a day. Each NPC specializes in something so you can choose what kind of dailies you want to do. JPs, mini dungeons, dungeons, Bounties (everywhere, not just PoF), Adventures, Vistas, Mining, Foraging, Woodcutting, and lets add crafting and the token "kill x and bring me y of z" quest for those former Tera players that really miss those.
Could expand to add some cool ones like a fashion show where an NPC gives you clothes to wear and you have to do a mini game where you do fashion show like emotes? Maybe a cooking contest or chef thing?

I am hoping their experiments in physics in armor, capes, etc. Leads to some animated hairs. Maybe some long hairs, etc. Would like to see some new robes.

It is somewhat annoying that all basic enemies feel like veterans.
It does keep me out of the maps when I am playing casually.
I don't hate it though when I actually am playing there. If I am looking for a fight, I go find a hydra. If I am looking to sight see, I'll hang out in core maps where I can nearly 1hk everything.

Well he can shoot his sword like a mesmer, uses a great sword without being a reaper, can summon 3? golems at once. And still somehow is useless in a fight.
He also does the thunder cats thing.

Oh nice, I was just having this problem, saw this and it fixed it. Thanks

POF had massive changes around the networking. Mounts moved too fast. And flying was a problem.
It's probably partially why all story instances, not just POF, now crash frequently, especially during cut scenes.

I personally find the dollar price of gems absurd. Especially once converted to Canadian.
But honestly the price of everything in the world makes no sense. A can of coke is $2, costs 0.05 cents to make. A&W burger can be $10+. A tank of gas is $40. And a single chance at a mount skin is $20. At least you keep the skin for as long as the game lasts. So it's arguably good value?
But I have never bought any gems, and I still have one of every character class, 3 extra banks, several outfits, build templates, skins, mounts. GW2 lets you pay the whales for the gems they bought with gold that you farmed for. Seems fair.
I don't think we are ever going to see another micro(macro?)transaction store that doesn't specifically target whales.

+1 from me for turning off the effects. It's insane and just makes us all stack because there isn't a hope in hell of seeing an incoming attack.

I just redid this. Got through first try by having my spouse to sit in the instance with me. I have no idea why having a party member sit around as a wisp fixes it, but it does. Give it a try. Maybe a guild member will agree to hang out in the instance with you.

If it matters, Windows 10 is actually better for old games. They fixed directdraw support that was broken in 7 and utterly wrecked in 8.
-
Laptops are loaded with custom poorly done drivers to enable all those soft keys like volume, brightness, back lights, etc. You should never upgrade the os on a laptop unless your certain the manufacturer actually made updated drivers that actually work.
I have not found a manufacture that actually supports there software 5 minutes after it's released.
-
The difficulty isn't the story, its how many times you have to repeat it because you got disconnected while Joko was talking to you or something.
-
Yeah lots of bad information here.
Simply put, upgrading to DirectX12 would do nothing for performance. They would have to re-write the entire rendering pipeline to take advantage of it.
They should be doing this, and I don't understand why they aren't. This game is the only thing keeping the company floating, and they don't appear to be planning for any eventualities like when AMD and nVidia stop caring about DX9 features in their cards.
We can only hope they aren't idiots and are actually building something and just haven't told us. Maybe it will be the next expansion. It would explain why it took so long.
-
It's funny though after you level up your crafting, making ascended is kind of easy. Even kind of cheap. It just seems unattainable when you are starting out.
-
A rifle reload/pistol animation when you holster your weapon could be a nice nod to continuity. But that's it. Don't actually have ammo, just a custom holster animation.
-
Some of the metas are great, some are pretty bad. Love world bosses though. I wish every meta was as rewarding as Octovine. That thing is crazy compared to the effort required.
-
And honestly all the open world content is soloable too, except for things clearly labeled as group content. Roll a tanky enough character and even champs are soloable.
But GW2 is a group game. I play with my spouse all the time, basically nothing we can't do as co-op. I give credit to Anet for that. Even obviously solo stories can be co-oped.

depending on the framerate you can tolerate, you can go higher. You are running lower settings than my old 560m is running, and that card is much weaker than yours. Just keep CPU things lower like shadows, reflections, character model limit.
