Dante.1508

No not at all... I wanted a more ranger pet style game play not this.. It takes away my hotbars and skill selection while just dragging me back with a robot that will just die in seconds against any serious boss enemy.. At this time it feels useless and nothing more than a gimmick class.. How are we suppose to to do serious content like hot or Pof with this weak terrible robot stealing all my skill slots.. and then dies for a full minute and gets me killed..

No, agony is a stupid mechanic that ruined fractals.

I agree op and feel its very poor on Anet... I feel you deserve to be able to play your games like everyone else.. I'd hope Anet would invite you to their development studios and have you help them fix the areas you and others need to be able to enjoy yourselves. I myself would like a bigger font as well. and i'm not legally blind. Will it happen who knows..

It doesn't really show anything.. The untamed and Mechanic while looking cool the only thing i can think with those is well those creatures will be a ball and chain to everything.. you want to avoid.. And useless against living story bosses..

The whole legendary grind is crap.. Its why i buy mine and seldom at that.

You know what i meant.

You would be better asking in reddit not here op the main posters here are too bias for changes.

All living story maps are frustration.. its why i avoid them mostly like a plague.. The worst imo is the one north of Divinitys Reach.. Nothing but hate to that map.. I guess thats why its always so dead. I wish for this at this point.. I guess thats why i play Fallout 76 more these days than Guildwars 2..

Not really unless i can buy them.

I agree the new class specs are a total let down.. this is not the Cantha of Guildwars i remember fondly as a teenager.. Sadly we either conform to this new rehash of classes or move on i guess.

They already did its called a Griffon.. Don't need a Skyscale. I do agree WoW flying and Perfect World mounts were better by far, because they actually flew.

Not really. Last thing i want is more grind.

To be honest i really don't like them, but i play Asuras.

After 9 years you can usually tell what class a person is playing but skills tend to help.. gear after the wardrobe was added can make it difficult to tell which class someone is playing. But most classes have little tells that veterans can pick up on.

If i were a new player these days i'd have dropped Guildwars 2 in a heartbeat.. Luckily after 9 years i got a lot of the game done and cheaply.. Things that were relatively easy at release like crafting and leveling, were ok.. Now a days, missing so much content and how much they made GW2 a tedious grind and with raids and fractals even wvw.. i'd have left for sure. To this day i still have no skyscale and i bought my legendaries.. No chance in hell i'd ever grind those ever.

A few things i can name off my head. Lack of trinity style game play. New player experience sucks badly. Really hard game play. Really hard raid type bosses in the later stories make customers quit (Southsun and onwards). Insane amount of grind based currencies. Maps tend to confuse casual players (e.g. HoT) Way to much crowd control immunity and usage later game. Enemies tend to be really tedious to fight later game, which wears on players imo. Gear is incredibly hard to get early on. Money is incredibly hard to get outside of zerg metas. Lack of updates tend to make people move on. Really really expensive cash shop. Mounts just got more and more tedious to get. Crafting is an incredible chore to get them all done. Classes are vastly imbalanced.

I tend to use cash shop gear like skins or clothing so people can tell i'm not a new i'm just an alt. Most real newbs don't have a lot of cash shop gears.

You know back at release i hated dungeons and i used to complain about them.. But in hindsight i feel they were fun. The community imo was a large reason they sucked bad as the elitism was over 9000 and people were charging to do them.. Then fractals got made..........🤢🥵🥶🤬 And then there were Raids...........👿🙀😱 You know what dungeons were epic and i enjoyed them a lot, bagging them out at the time, i was an idiot... If only i knew Anet could make even worse horrible things... i'd have raved about the old dungeons from the roof tops.. Things you cannot see in the future i guess..

I basically meant there wouldn't need huge changes to Skritt or Dwarves as a race but Tengu imo are an odd shaped species like charr, and anet seem to hate modeling clothes on charr.

Those kitten mushrooms and mordrem snipers kill me almost 100% i fight them. Its just overpowered crazy imo. Which is humorous because everytime i've done the old Zaitan quests the whole thing bugs out badly the helpers do not help and parts just do not complete sometimes.. (it has happened multiple times), the whole thing is really buggy these days. And it seems Anet has no interest in fixing it at this point.

Early game after GW1 i wanted a stone dwarf race added which imo would easily fit all their armors and animations etc but it never happened.. Skritt as i've said before are similar size to Asura so i assume Asura items would fit.. Early stories could be added no issue as they are just singluar stories and shoe horned into the pact.. (i hope they omit that trahearne part for sanity sake lol but its not hard to add them) but i can understand Tengu being a problem, unless norn gear fitted them similar sizes? or even charr.

100% agree, thats why so many left due to HoT.. it was a huge shock and Anet had to change it multiple times.. Still not enough even today imo.. But it is doable even if its still tedious.

The whole of living story 2 was horrific, terrible and not fun at all.. and i have a old character, trying to do it on a new character would be hellish.. I've literally done living story 2 like twice out of 20 characters and i never ever want to do it again.. If Anet removed it tomorrow i'd not be upset. i'd cheer. I hated living story 3 and 4 as well but nothing is as loathing to me as living story 2. There are a lot here i would consider as astroturfers.. its a very biased forum. just a heads up. Its well known as so in outer circles of GW2.

Personally not all profession can do all solo stuff easily.. If i were a new player with what i know now. I'd go only a few classes Engineer scrapper flamethrower kit. Its super tanky and kills most stuff well. https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Scrapper_-_Flamethrower_Scrapper With marauder gear imo https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Engineer_-_LI_Flamethrower Necromancer All classes are crazy overpowered when running world content. Guardian Revenant These would be my top picks for all content.

I personally would like race specific stories like GW2 started out with before trahearne and the pact (which imo really went no where) more stories for our races and adventures around that.. Off topic apologies but it is imo also important. You make way more gold than i ever see.. but then i'm not a fan of group content. Trying to buy skins with in game gold for me would take years.. also with how the shop changes every time, the thing i'd want is gone before i'd ever get enough gold to gems.
