Gear Treadmill, Slow fat content release, holy trinity - that is wow. If they criticized the graphics as not being stylized enough I think I'd call Blizzard for an attempt to violate copy write.

What is a revolving meta? Not sure I know what you mean by that. I take "meta" to be game theory about character speccing. It's meta because it's out of game consideration of the way the numbers get crunched in the many and varied specs (spec being gear, traits skills and class in...

If the criticisms amount to "This game should be more like WoW" then I think it's a valid response to say "WoW is stale and this is not WoW."

I think there are many valid criticisms of GW2. Criticisms that amount to "I like the old way better" don't seem to deserve a response beyond "Kiss Some More WoWBum You cartoon humper." The real criticisms of GW2 PvE: 1. Most of the Living Story in the first "season" was a mile wide and...

I get it. You like WoW. So do lots and lots of people. Most others are bored of it.

A skin with some neat graphics and sometimes sounds and footsteps.

Only a complete Communist would hate that. It works almost perfectly. You still get that feeling of being powerful when you come back but it also gives you some rewards for playing with your buddies and lets you do all the content while getting some rewards. COMMUNISTS I SAY!

The reason people trash the PvE is because they cannot wrap their head around something like "not a progression based game" and "not a specialized interdependent combat system" and "not a game with traditional expansions." It's the same story that always happens. People complain when...

Come on. Neither of those games adds that much content. WoW in particular is awful at adding things and only the competition of GW2 has sped them up.

Ugh no way. I love their combat. It's super bouncy and fun.

There are some areas to access but there is only some lore in them. Nothing major. Those ten levels of living story are really good though and you should do them all at some point.

So I get your question to be "If I log back in, how entertained will I be?" Assuming you like PvE primarilly and are level 80... you have the fractals you'll want to do (couple of days of casual play). Southsea island thing has two jumping puzzles and is kinda fun to explore... few hours...

I don't mind figuring out a healing spec. I have 5 parts of the wheel done and a few skills in others. I'll do it tonight and PM you in the AM if I can get a decent healing spec together.

The commentary here about the shift away from exploration and toward smaller chunked event oriented content never made me entirely happy BUT, remember they have added a lot more content than you are giving them credit for: You have the two SAB boxes, great Halloween and Christmas ad-ons and...

Frostgorge has a boss train on TC most of the time. It's actually a good way to mindlessly farm skill points for your Legendary.

I would love to progress but I cannot figure out how to get groups for the Elite Dungeons. I leveled up after Nightmares had come in.

While I am not as bitter as you, I do agree that the loot system is kerfluxored. That Southsun thing was a bug I think or an unintended consequence. It's never happened again. I have well over a thousand hours played and never seen a precursor. I have three fractal weapons sitting in the...

I have a 1 hour limit. If i cannot figure out the step in an hour then i cheat. If something is is a translation, I cheat right away. Those I hate.

Most forum sections of every game website are devoted to complaining. I sometimes think that the entire internet is one giant complaint box. I certainly think your complaints are valid criticisms, I just think you should try and see the magnificence of the full part of the glass instead of...

hehe your criticism is more than valid. I only log in to do new stuff or run fractals. For instance I never got Liadri last time and they made her easy so this time I made a point of getting her (Solo gauntlet fights). I also tried all the new bosses and then well I saw there were new...

No no no. It's super duper easy. Just buy a full set of gold colored berserker gear or if you prefered you could do a condition applying dude. There are a MILLION good builds for necros. Here is the necro build thread.... lots and lots listed...

Why? There was something new whenever you logged in. Every two weeks they hit ou with something new. What's the big deal if you were busy or occupied with another game and you missed it?

Their plan is to keep you logged in to see what comes next. One expansion every two years does not do that. You like George RR Martin content dropping and I like serialized comic booking. To each their own.

That is just the stuff that happens to be in the game right now that I could remember off the top of my head. No game has ever come close the amount of content that GW2 has added. Every two weeks a new content patch that pretty much took a couple of weeks to devour. Every two weeks. Here...

Two new fractal dungeons are in still and permanent. The new WvW overflow area is still in and permanent. The new Ascended gear system is permanent. Right now the Airships dudes and Queens pavillion events are in. There are two new major boss fights (Wurm and Teq) you could try to...

Seriously? It's not even vaguely close. The amount of content that they pumped out - great content that was fun - in the 12 months prior to this current slow down, was downright insane. WoW's stuff is top notch but there is almost none of it. In GW2 literally every 2 weeks you had something...

It's a fun class. It playsmuch more mobile than your typical tanky type.

I think the real question is, how hard is it to get a set of max gear? From level 1 to decked in ascended took me about 6 months of fairly regular play. Each legendary took me about 9 months of vaguely trying to get them. A hardcore player could do 1-ascended in a month easy. I've heard...

oh nasty nerf. On the other hand, You can get those level 20 books easilly.

The very best WEAPONS are legendaries because you can change their stats and they have cool effects. Those are a HUGE grind across most phases of the game to make. set that aside. (though you could buy them with real money - alot of real money) Ascended WEAPONS have the same level of stats...

Nope. Based on your level too. Sort of not as good as where you were but still a chance to get good stuff for your level. I think chests are still locked to the zone but drops and boss bags are still that mix of your level and the zone.

Yes on four levels: 1. Foodstuffs at high level give a great advantage. The buffs are very useful 2. You can get 10 levels from maxing it out and it's a pretty easy one to level off the auction house. 3. It's pretty cool to just up tons and tons of materials in the bank and then go back...

LOL I laughed but also think it might be true. Tuco is dedicated to the cause.

Ah you must be a completionist. Hearts are the most traditional of the PvE activity types. However, you need them all for World completion which you need for legendaries. Every map also has a major quest chain (or a few). Try and do these as well because they carry the zone's story and even...

Yep. War Mes or Guard are most sought after but really I fripping love my engi. Very hard to play but has a nice balance of group surviability and cleansing with Direct damage (good aoe direct) and good condition (dot) damage. I am in great gear and know all the fights and still get booted...

Nubcake. It's really really easy to stay alive. It's just not a traditional holy trinity game. It's all about learning the fights, your own vulnerabilities and making sure to keep an eye on others in the group. You can add a ton of survivability in many different ways. If you have levelled...

Yes sort of. Not sure what you mean by PvE quests. THe game sort of has no quests. Did you mean personal story? If so then after level 30 or so the stories all merge so you can just spin through the pretty neat low level ones in a couple of weeks. Some are great but many are crap. If you...

Yeah but dungeons are not hard so pugging them is pretty easy. Even high level fractals are very doable in a good pug. I've done high 40s with pugs fine. COE is actually the one you cannot pug.

You can definitely breeze dungeons with a speed group. Fractals are a bit tougher to do and one or two of the dungeons are pretty slow. Most rewards are cosmetics or one kind or another. There is a tier of armor that is about a 5% bonus that is tough to get and the legendary weapons are...

No. Most fights are great for Guards and Warriors. Ranged are more often at a disadvantage in the true high damage groups. I think it's more fun to play a squishy bouncy ranged class but guards and warriors are two of the three most sought after dungeon classes.
