state of the game these days.
are they gear checking too?
-
This obsession which new specs. How about a total new class? How about finally allowing us to have our dervishes back or our rits or something completely fresh? How about taking us to places that we are NEVER seen? Maybe above tyria or below?
The problem with this game for me is the lack of anything meaning anything. There is nothing in the vein of fractions when you not only getting titles but trying to win your own city/town. It means nothing to have a full set of legendary armour, weapons and trinkets. Titles mean nothing even GWAMM has lost its sparkle.
-
For one, not having another spec shouldn't be the bench mark if something is expansion level. Gah I just can't think of the balance issues a new spec would make .. We had a mount last season and think of the shit that got. Funny that my idea of an expansion is Cantha and so many dis that, so many say they don't want to go to places we have been before and yet here we are, going to GW;EN areas and no one bats an eye.
This game needs excitement. Walking round a map with a few events and mobs isn't exciting. We need excitement.
If I can't have my beloved Cantha then a 'boxed' expansion should be a total new area, one GW has never been to. something exciting. something unexpected.
Oh and one more thing, anet really do need to stop is the sudden 'bowing' down to certain groups. I mean moaning about an event skin and getting it changed when there are so many more issues is laughable.
But on a plus side the music this episode is stunning so that's at least on point.
-
This prologue certainly has raised the bar for what's to come!
-
I Love love love love Guildwars.
However, since It's not worth waiting to see if cantha will ever be in GW2, I'm excited to see what the next living world/saga will be and then My eyes will be seeing what manaworks are doing.
-
Aion had a 'blowkiss' emote, i'd feel quite sad that every time I used it someone reported me.
We're be holding hands next since we can't hug the canthan trees.
-
Most single and frustrating thing?
How ungrateful people are.
-
The whole thing is getting pathetic. If we had gone to cantha first and not the desert, would people moan about others being ' Nostalgic?' I mean they are sure as hell being 'Nostalgic' about the free Built templates GW had. People moan they don't want GW2 to be GW's clone and yet here we are.
Guess what, events of the past week make me believe that the haters have really and truly won, so these polls are unnecessary. No need to hate on us that want Cantha anymore.
You won. Now get back to moaning about mesmers.

So who are you trolling here? Me or arenanet?

I disagree. But a discussion for another time, no?

Making that 1/5000 metas is still going to mean you will probably never see it. If you did 1 meta a day--which is realistic for TD--it would roughly on average take you 14 years to get it via a drop. You're better off farming the gold for one and just leaving RNG in getting one as a bonus surprise.

Where does it say i agree? mmmmmm
They think anet shouldn't have rng, i'm saying RNG is a way to get people to do stuff.
Don't see me agreeing.
sorry.

Yes it's really lucky I don't have a say or there wouldn't be DPS meters here as well.

How do you think the game is supported? Dust?
personally I feel no one should of been using a third party program anyway.

Ah then a lesson to be learnt. Maybe people should of been a bit more forthcoming with saying ' I want Build templates' and not giving a detailed account on how they would what these implemented, cost etc.

Your guess is as good as mine. Not seeing many folk agreeing with it, mind.

Didn't want? You mean asked for something and claim they would pay to get anet motivated to develop it only to chuck it back in their faces?
Not understanding what part of these templates wasn't asked for?
People wanted templates - check
people said they would pay - check
people never happy - check check check.
-
Here's the thing. In another thread people are asking for e-specs - PAID E-SPECS- saying they would be hidden behind a paywall anyway (expansion) so if that's the case then you could argue the same here.
Oh and another thing, you don't need to use them it's a QOL thing. We did quite well for 7 odd years. NO one is forcing you to use them or buy anymore.
Much ado about nothing.
Again.

no sorry it isn't. sometimes you have to work for things.

I think you will find the original Guildwars templates that some of you keep harping on about were less complicated for one - skills only no armour or weapons - a code you just saved to a file.
These took much longer to develop and are not only skills right? They change everything from skills to armour to weapon and more.
You can't say you want some thing and even pay for it then complain when anet listens that you have to pay for it.
-
people wanted these and some even said they would *pay*
Some people moan Anet don't listen.
I say next time be careful what you wish for.
-
Well as they say, be careful what you ask for.
You may just get it for a price.
-
I don't love it like I love Guildwars1.
end.
-
I'm sure everyone who got the leggie stuff before you would welcome the nerf of armour to one mark each.
As a end game crafter on balance making marks for armour can be much cheaper than 'normal' crafting of gear (with the luxury of being able to choose your stats).
But I do agree that the 10 shards for one in wvw is a bit meh when pvp gives you a box with one in it.
you can buy the items for the craft on the TP as well btw.
-
I think it's quite the sad day that the last foundering member has decided to move on. I think it speaks volumes. And I don't think it should be taken lightly.
However as I posted before, I am excited to see what these new games could be.
Thank you Mike for Guildwars and I wish you every success.
-
I am personally excited for what Mo and company will do. If it's anything like Guildwars (one) I will be playing my new main game.

I think 3 new classes would be great. 2 new specs, think of the new character slots people could buy! Cantha is and will always be my choice of paid expansion, no one is asking you to buy it if you don't want.
I mean I'd even embrace level progress and new armour stats to match if it came available. Maybe an Aion based PvP armour for that open world pvp no one wants!
My point is no one wants to embrace change of ANY kind, unless it means less work/hassle or if that fails get* your* guild to moan on the forum so things gets nerfed.
Such a same that I actually enjoyed the skyscale collections and tasks, then watched it being nerfed. All my hard work shoved back at me to please the few. I doubt we will ever see anything like that again.
