Just the tone the op makes is why i avoid these types of Guildwars 2 content.. "skilled and "bad" not a great way to think. Honestly trying to balance a pve game with pvp never ends well. Its not designed to be balanced.

I think then Kuunavang could be talking to the Zodiacs. The Zodiacs were a big thing in Cantha, they were literally their gods.

Shortbow isn't the real problem its the really badly designed skills.. Shortbow on ranger is amazing, when used right.. Shortbow on rev is just horrible as the skills are all weird to use in a fast fight.

Ascended are far better than exotics, i know people suggest otherwise but Ascended blow exotics out of the water in stats.. and no its not 5% you add weapons and armor up and Ascended are like 30% or something better.. OK ... but Anet doesn't change an 8 year old game specific to what a single player wants on these kinds of subjective terms. And you are wrong ... we were ALL new players once, so claiming the game doesn't lay out a path new players can take for crafting is preposterous. Crafting is not 8 years old its been upgraded multiple times.. Crafting is about as new player friendly as World vs World is and PvP is, which is its not at all.

Actually early infantry were spear walls.. So... SPEARS! Great.Spears would be a better option, but saying that warriors did fight with pistols as well.

While it may work in the short time allowing apps through your Antivirus is setting you up for disaster.. If anything infects you Guildwars 2 will give the virus a perfect jumping point into and out of your system. Just saying.

It'll prolly be scepter or staff you know the least expected thing. Warrior needs a good ranged option at the moment they are useless to play.. You just die over and over. Actually early infantry were spear walls..

Warrior longbow is unplayable.. Rifle is unplayable why because ranged circumvents 99% of the annoying boss mechanics, they wont ever be fixed.

Less over tooled enemies and bosses, more like tyria less like hot and pof... I don't want to have to avoid the third expansion.Less CC craziness. If monk returns the old healing synergy i'd be all over that.. something akin to druid in a style.

I'm just leveling it up on characters that never did pof.. then getting out of there.. The forged and awakened are way too annoying to deal with.. HoT2.0.

Apparently 13 of you exist at this time of writing.. I am not one sadly.

No some of us will be making new accounts.

Yes i got my butt handed to me as well about 7-10 times... Some classes like warrior are just terrible in boss fights..https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/7ob4mc/story_missions_too_hard_or_im_playing_it_wrong/ we are not alone op.

While some mmorpgs (very few) have done very well if added right, most i agree have done terribly and with GW2 excluding existing accounts i feel GW2 will join the later sadly.What a lot of people don't understand is the Steam 30% goes down if a game does very well, big AAA games do not get charged 30% on steam. You seem very very out of sync with gaming.

I don't believe the dragon in the Preview is Kuunavang, i think its her daughter or son.

After leveling all crafts to 500.. If i were a new customer today no way would i go through that again.. I pity these new Steam customers coming in at this economy point. And that daily ascended trash lol that never gets better. Wait wait wait what? So you sold them after being full for money but it's not rewarding? If they were bloodstone dust, the blue star fragment, round yellow thing then there are items that can eat them for loot bags, if they are wood log, ore, leather section you should refine them, and if they are vial of blood, totem, claw etc..etc.. believe me, you can't forget about these because sooner or later You will have use them for exotic, achievement, legendary craftingAnd if they are mithril ore, elder wood log, blue T5 silk and T5 leather section, you can create a ascended mats per day for stuffs like grandmaster mark, crafting ascended armor or precursor craftingYou think crafting in gw2 was tedious and unfun? Wohoho, wait till you try SwtorYah.....crafting is very important if you want to get great stuff so i don't see how "the game doesn’t give it the attention it needs" Do you want the game to pester the player to make ascended gear every time they log in? If you just stick to exotics you can ignore crafting completely.. You aren't very good but you can ignore that grind.

Now my ping is over 1000 which means its unplayable as an Australian.

I am getting this as well gotta zoom out after every loading screen, really frustrating.

Rofl maybe its wishful thinking haha no amount of money would make my buy them lol

I use soulbeast condi traps.. no idea if its meta but it works well in pve.. I do not PvP.

Agreed op its a large reason i never visit those maps.

Same i gave up last night my ping from Australia has gone from 250 to over 1000, obviously something is broken.. I just can't play anymore which means no more Gems i guess.

I totally agree op, you are suppose to dodge when you see the highlights on the ground but its really pointless these days, there are so many its like a mine field and with my server issues and 300-400 ping by the time i see them i am hit.. over and over till i'm downed, also these modern boss attacks are designed to chain you to death, you get hit it sets you up to be hit over and over.. Side note if you are even outside the edge of those blast radius you will get hit still which means the radius is not accurate, Not fun at all imo. I really miss the old tyria days and i seldom do living stories a second time no rewards are worth those boss hassles and minions are so over tooled its gotten no fun. I just hope they tone all this down before the steam release as those reviews wont be favorable.

Quick question do you have a golemancer rune on your aqua breather aswell? Yep! I even double check before posting, just in case. Weird i used to have these runes and it used to spawn underwater. I wonder if the ogre runes with the rock dog still do. Its use to indeed! It stoped working when they did the big rune rework/updateWell that sucks that literally makes the last part of the runes useless underwater.

I noticed in certain POF maps i was getting freezes and really bad desyncs etc, also been having disconnects.
