Guild Wars 2

So what classes are strong in pvp right now?

One of the devs posted something along the lines of: "we know it sounds retarded, but somehow it actually keeps people playing" They had problems keeping the more casual people playing past the first few hours and layering the "complexity" is supposed to help

Apparently they focus tested those changes a lot, but they are still stupid and the new stat gains broke scaling when you are higher level apparently. The new collections make this game the nemesis of all ADD people.

WTF. Did Anet fire all the original GW2 team? All the changes since the Trait Revamp have been GRADE A RETARDED. I haven't really played much since then. The new changes to leveling are WTF Sauce. They wanted to make the game easier for new players. Easier? Fucken A, this was already the most approachable MMO on the market, now it's just a jumbled mess.

MMOs would be vastly more profitable if these companies quit hiring retards.

To be fair, the trait system was Grade A retarded in the first place. Easily one of the biggest cluskerfucks in beta/launch. The team involved with the traits, and combat really fucked up pretty badly. (I haven't looked at revamp yet. doing now)

wow at that vid.. is that for real?

I liked the idea of unlocking specific traits for exploring the world, but having to do it on every character is crazy. Unlocks cost like 20 skill points and gold. I have 100% explored character, why do I have to slog through that shit again ? At least they now let you respec on the fly for free. Personally I still think traits are really underwhelming, I don't think any change the way you play the game and for PvE, dps is still the only viable build.

Yes the video is for real, but supposedly they made leveling 1-15 faster so you can fly past the retarded levels and I hope they fix the worst offenders swiftly.

They started the second half of the Season 2 living story today. A new zone added, and tons of gw1 lore references.

Thanks for the heads up. Don't forget that if you log in during the release window of a new episode, you unlock the episode for free, forever, for any level 80 character on your account. If you missed that window (lastst untill the next episode is released, usually after 2 weeks) you will have to pay 200 gems for the episode. You can replay any episodes of the new Living Stories, for instance for unlocking achievements in them which give some ok loot. As far as ok loot goes in GW2 off course.... I kinda like the weapon series that have the fossilized insects in them so that kept me playing for a while. Playing the episodes and getting those achievements chests yield a lot of ingredients for crafting these weapons.

I sound like an add but if you are not feeling up to playing those episodes now, just log in for a second and secure them for later on. The ongoing Storyline is still a good reason to play this game on and off, imo.

Man, i got an email about that content release yesterday so i logged in to see it... So lost in that game now, haven't played it since launch lol
I heard leveling a new character is pretty shitty now? I wanted to level a guardian back before i quit but only got to level 26

Have to say this is one of the better living story episodes so far. The events are wvw in nature, defend and upgrade the forts, once they all reach level 4 you get to jump down underneath the fort to kill 5 bosses, you need pieces from the bosses to make the new armor skins. There's legendary bosses that also rarely spawn around the forts that grant some new titles. New armor skins available starting with the shoulders, new equipment stat combo condi/pow/prec recipes. There's also a little area where you pay a champ 2g and makes you friendly to the bandits in the area but turns on your pvp to players around there. Players can find chests in the ground and everyone also gets the chance to loot the chest, even pings the map when a chest is found. Story wise won't spoil it, but there's gw1 blast from the past lore in there.


Needless, yes leveling can be shitty, traits no longer start at 11 they start at 30, a lot other things were spread out, you don't get your elite now until 40. Still have ways to level up fast though, birthday boosters get you to level 20, you can play through spvp and get the tomes that give you a level (this method is slow), can still craft for levels, if you're broke then playing in eotm and following the karma train around is probably the fastest way to level now especially with exp boosters.

Yeah i logged on my 4 characters i had and ended up getting a bunch of insta lvl 20 items, and exp boosters that i can use lol

My bitch was already 26 though so i'll just use the exp boosts + birthday boosts when i have a good karma train going i guess. This will be a good way to kill a week until WoD drops i think

I think you can still log in low lvl characters when fighting the last boss of a dungeon to get some free xp (and shittier loot), just make sure to ask the rest of the group.

GW2 is 50% off until Dec 9th $20 for normal $30 for deluxe
Buy Guild Wars 2

no sub fee. i bought at launch and my highest level character is like... 15, I dunno why but I just can't get into the game at all. after 5 minutes online I alt-f4. which is weird, cuz I can totally tell its an extremely well made game and it should be right up my alley, but its not.

The game open up later. At launch everything was much more accessible but I don't really get why they locked things on lower level and you now have to unlock it by leveling. The living world really seems to get better but I'm a WvWer and when I do PvE stuff I mainly do the basic stuff and get the basic achievements needed.

I really like the way the game control and I'm still amaze how the servers handle the huge fight you can get in wvw. I'm impressed by how they can manage sharp and intense 1v1/small group fights to huge 300-400 players battle.

The GW2 community is really great. I think it's one of the best I experienced. If you need drama there is always the non official WvW forums.


What class you played?
