Dante.1508

Outside of niche modes not really.. its kind of been nerfed to death as well.

The pets need controls like the ranger..

Engi can now swap weapons out of combat.. ikr awesome..

I passed it and i'm pretty poor.. i only got silver. But its mostly cause i've used the skimmer for years i passed it.

Why even bother playing the game if you do not want to learn its mechanics? How is the game going to make you learn gameplay if you can indefinitely avoid it? Obviously it does not have to be a per character thing, can just be once per account thing that you can repeat as needed. Its not the mechanics to learn i'm on 250ping as an Aussie and hot is inundated with cheap shot mechanics designed to bully customers to death.. not fun in the slightest to play.. Even as an 8 year vet i try to avoid Hot and i've only ever completed pof once.. its just not a fun aspect to deal with daily.. I think the best advice is toncomplete pof and play hot as a prequel. That wont help you need minimum Glider, Bunny and a Flying mount to avoid a good chunk of deaths.. In case anyone was actually planning to listen to this guy, let me just save you the trouble with this video of an HoT champion solo that anyone (even Dante here!) can do. As a bonus, I'm wearing green gear that costs about 2s per piece so anyone can afford it. I've also slotted all signets for utilities and no weapon swap to avoid any complications. You can literally just push buttons at random with this build and win. The only thing that matters is pushing dodge and auto attack over and over. Seriously, Dante, do yourself a favor and try this. You might begin to realize what people are trying to tell you and what you never could have learned playing through content once and then complaining about it endlessly for years. Find a build that works. This one happens to work even if you don't want to! I can pass that one.. i noticed you used stave mesmer not greatsword? did you try elementalist? also try the tengu or vinetooth.. try the chak and rolling thing.. You cherry pick a relatively easy one and say Hot is doable.. Try soloing Tangled depths hero points i soloed about 2 in that map.. the rest obliterated me. Lets see you do Balthazar solo. Sure thing, chief. I bet those aren't you, and those are half a year ago.. before a lot of changes especially the mushroom it was in Jan, but kudos to those players, i wish i had ping times to rival those players..

I kinda like 80 i feel there should be more. I lose a lot of fun after 80. Its why i make alts.I agree the hero panel is clunky as.. very counter intuitive.I never finished LS1 it was way hard and ended in a raid like dungeon so i missed it. Just explaining. I find the achievements panel the worst wading through that mess is very hard.

It may not bring many Oceanic or SEA customers sadly not with the high ping times.. a lot may try it but i doubt many will stay, the servers are far away from us.

Its drags you in and insta kills you if you are 2 secs to slow. Spellbreaker is bad because it has terrible ranged options.. and nearly every boss forces ranged combat or you are dead... A lot of classes cc are poor and are on massive cooldowns or are just rinsed off in seconds.. Did you watch the video Shikaru.7618 linked?even missed 1 of the cc breaks and was not insta killed at all, just had to turn and press w to stay away from boss I never said a veteran can't pass it, i even passed it, i was explaining what it does and why its annoying. aren't you a raider anyway? Its drags you in and insta kills you if you are 2 secs to slow. Spellbreaker is bad because it has terrible ranged options.. and nearly every boss forces ranged combat or you are dead... A lot of classes cc are poor and are on massive cooldowns or are just rinsed off in seconds.. Weird that you feel that way, I usually favor my spellbreaker for bounties and dailies.. I agree that some bosses are not melee friendly. Warrior really needs better ranged options..

I always use customers as thats what we are, we pay money to this game, that makes us more than players. Just saying as you brought it up.

Doesn't help the games population though, especially with steam coming.. imagine the reviews. Still, I am PRETTY sure they are more aware of it than we are :D It's them who are going to lose money and players, not us. They should care, not us. I care because it makes the game unplayable. Well, yeah. It is nice that you care but why bother playing an unplayable game just to get frustrated? Maybe if people actually stopped playing, they would be forced to act quicker to fix the issue. There are tons of other games that are not as problematic, and you can always come back when it's fixed. I mean, it's just my opinion. Feel free to keep torturing yourself.I only just came back a month ago..

I have played through that same content with high ping as well, and do not feel bullied in the slightest. I also have a plenty of 300 ping AUS and asian friends who do not struggle with the content.Great and i have a lot that say otherwise. we go round and around.. even yesterday i saw customers angry an frustrated in hot.. that isn't good gaming imo. Also i don't know if it was my time zone but for me Tangled Depths was beyond empty mostly.. not even events.

I noticed a player with a mini Snaff the other day and it was wearing a unique costume i'd not seen before, kind of like Zojja's but different, i was wondering if it would be possible to have his suit turned into a new costume for sale as its very nice. Also Snaff was kinda a big deal to the story and a main character we never really got to see.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/98/Snaff_concept_art.jpgI feel his costume would be a nice addition to GW2.

Could really use a real oceanic server especially with Steam coming. 280 ping is a good day for me.. 400-1000 is a bad day here.. which seems to be the latter more and more.

I never enjoyed Poe.. I loved arpgs but poe2 nahh.. GW3 wont be coming anytime soon.. I'm pretty sure anet doesn't have the man power or the money to build a new mmorpg.. plus mmo's aren't the cash cows they were in 2012.. plus the direction anet went in guildwars 2 wasn't good for its population.. so i'm pretty sure a GW3 would be dead in the water in 2021. That was the hope we GW1 players had when GW2 was announced. Tough luck, we got a completely different game instead. So, do I want a GW3? - Not as as long as the suggested and welcome changes can instead be implemented into GW2. And look what we got compared to GW1...... so that would mean Gw3 would be on mobiles, we already have a lot of their game mechanics added.

Yes they need overhauls but not really in looks they need race mechanics overhaul, hell all race skills needed an overhaul.

Hot is not "easy to solo" gliders and mounts help a lot.. try soloing without them.. New customers have to.. Classes are so unbalanced a Engi, Necro and a Guardian can storm through the maps while Warrior, Ele and Mesmer get killed every second.. Even Rangers and Revenants have some issues.. No you aren't right op.. sorry but you are very wrong.. you are a niche in this game. Why even bother playing the game if you do not want to learn its mechanics?

I just attempted night of Fire in pof on an ele.. haha, yeah no.. 10+ (Some were insta kills) deaths become rinse repeat really not fun after you die so many times a customer gets frustrated angry and wants the mission just to end so they can leave.. and in my case stop using said ele..I even spent the whole day copying metabattle builds, building armor and weapons needed in hope that my ele would be useful..Nope its done.Ele can die in a fire as far as i'm concerned. What do you all challenge haters pretend of this game? To be a walk in the park? Do you want anet to turn mobs into freaking paintings? Havn't you had enough with core tyria beeing so freaking easy? do you want mobs to become static with no attack or interaction whatsoever? This is the mentality that drove anet to the mess they are in now, with no clear direction and all sort of players leaving, first they lost almost all pvpers, now they are loosing hardcore pvers, soon they will only have open world bots running around playing for a few months and quitting out of boredom, and all of the ones playing fashion wars standing still in the bank... its pretty easy: we liked core, and thats what we want MORE of...not something ENTIRELY DIFFERENTquitting the game AFTER you played it, out of BOREDOM, is still better than quitting BEFORE the endif you made a meal for all you friends, and they all put down the fork after one bite, it prolly wasnt that greatbut if they clear the table in record time, and ask for MORE, then it has the quality, that people wil PAY for Average players love HoT and find core laughably easy. We want more HoT.No they really don't, i talk to guildies daily and frustration is big in hot and lesser so pof.. Its a large aspect of why so many leave or take breaks.. Enjoyable content you can go through is fun, content that continually bashes you until you quit isn't (thats actually called bully mechanics). Leave that to pvp or raids.

Doesn't help the games population though, especially with steam coming.. imagine the reviews. Still, I am PRETTY sure they are more aware of it than we are :D It's them who are going to lose money and players, not us. They should care, not us.I care because it makes the game unplayable.

Its funny my issues only effect Guildwars 2 nothing else in the world is having issues..

Except, they could all be using the same Tier 1 backbone, as there are only a few available. You would have ask each and every one use a program like PingPlotter to find which Tier 1 backbone is in use. (And, it's possible more than one of the 7 or so is having issues at the same time.) I'm Sure Australia and the netherlands are all using the same tier 1 backbone lol

I think too many people are having issues for it to be a simple LAN cable but good to know.

Wow this is good info to know, good reason to solo content O.o
