Dante.1508

If i'd known that i would never have bought it.. I know for a fact if this boss stupidity doesn't change i'm done buying living story.. No more its gotten to the point i just cannot take it anymore.. This was the exact same reason i quit GW2 when hot released.. Yet even after 4 years the devs haven't learnt.. only a small quantity of customers like insanely hard content.. So thats why they have raids so those same customers can play together in RAIDS, not story mode dungeons 99% of customers have to solo.

People seem to worry about the smallest stuff, why not just enjoy your game and let Anet deal with them, or not deal with them.. Its their game if they allow such silly mechanics its really on them.

This is just a joke and i'm thinking its time to uninstall.

Its nice but its a bit expensive imo.

I've only been there a little but it seemed like same ole same ole imo, at least its a relatively flat map and not inane like tangled depths and istan.. They are terrible.

Yes and no.. I returned after 4 years and yes it possible but its a hard slog on one character, but if you have 18 like i do.. Its pretty much a money gurgling nightmare.. That said yes it has fun times but on a whole the new content is way over tooled and obsessive on meta, so if that is the kinda content you love go for it, if you like to enjoy an mmo more solo you may find it over your head so to speak.. i did. A large issue is a lot of the content has been done to death by customers so getting help in teamed things outside of meta is incredibly hard as no one wants to do it. One thing i have learnt from my returning experience is this will be my last mmorpg, as they are nothing like the were in the early 2000's the fun has literally been sucked out of them at least for me.

Thank you... I guess it’s too hard to pay attention to your surroundings for some. It’s not like retal is present in all areas...> @BunjiKugashira.9754 said: Really? THIS promotes 111 play style in PvE? It’s all you need for any area in PvE with maybe the exception of Raids. It actually encourages you to pay attention instead of facerolling the keyboard. @Strider Pj.2193 said: Thank you... I guess it’s too hard to pay attention to your surroundings for some.

Yes, it does.As an elementalist just the possibility of a mob applying retaliation to themselves prevents me from using most of my damage skills.Meteor shower? I'd be dead.Air overload? I'd be dead.Lava font? Has the potential to trigger retal 5 times.Lightning Orb? Eats about half of my hp.Wildfire? Same.Glyph of Storms? I'd be dead. All of these attacks are multi-hit attacks that linger for a while after casting. Once they have been cast, I have no control over them. Thus I can no longer cancel them if the enemy gets retaliation. The only counter-play to retaliation is therefore not to use these skills. Which leaves me with almost no damage skills besides my auto-attack.Kills me in seconds with a ranger.. before i even have chance to stop attacking im downed. Conditions in this game just lost the plot and as i said up above its just made the game unfun to play these days, i barely play new content outside of old tyria core because the mechanics are just painful and tedious to deal with.. Kinda wish i'd never bought Season 2 onwards. Why can't player characters get 2min long retal skills...

The racials is just fluff abilities. If they became stronger, they would lead to people rolling only that race or having it demanded by raids. Anet have been quick to nerf racials if they became too good. Seems good to me then they could actually make all races good in different ways.

This is more the issues with the GW2 writing in general imo.. Its just not that great, i felt the same way with Eirs death in Hot it was ham fisted and the characters just kinda seemed like it was nothing.. Just a shame it wasn't Braham.. I feel he deserves a cowards death.

Why that completely voids the whole point of gaming fun? Punishing customers just makes customers uninstall imo. Sounds like really tedious gameplay.. So apparently we can no longer have different levels of gameplay anymore.. And some of us enjoy 1-1-1-1 gameplay.

Its just Laziness same reason Asura get mostly male costumes.. No other mmo i ever played does this like GW2. I paid 700gems and my mage knight is still bugged to this day on Asuras.. Its disgusting.

Its why this games mechanics are in need of an over haul and why making content where you need a team is bad over time.. especially in GW2. The games not DEAD, its just customers no longer want to do older content daily so newer customers or those returning are screwed.. Its just badly designed and needs to scale off one customer.

People have been asking for racial updates for 7 years, sadly Anet just ignores these things.

Its not just Anet its gaming developers in general.. Customers have been burned so many times here and in other games customers expect the worst.. Just look at how much GW2 has degraded and changed over the last seven years, Customers on all sides have complained asked for changes and fixes and still nothing but nerfs grinds and microtransactions.. GW2 is not transparent at all.. Forums are very overbearing and we cannot even get what many ask for. So.. Very much agree with this. You know what? I think you're absolutely right. We're done.One of your comments in a different thread wasn't a real eye-opener for me but let's say a little bit more than the tip of the iceberg to finally accept that this game won't deliver the content I like to play and therefore I can make my peace with it. It's totally fine and healthy. I will show up here and there, maybe play for some days or not and taste the story content when it arrives and I'm in the mood for it.Time to play some other games and shrink my pile of shame. It's about kitten time. Smart decision, i'm not sure how long i'll continue myself, i have zero interest in PvP, WvW, Fractal and Raids its not why i play mmorpgs.. And its why i took a four year break. I don't think i'll be here much after Christmas at current game and developer quality.

Personally not a fan of Pay to win..

Occasionally on certain classes but mostly just to clean out my bags.

Please don't nerf these two classes, please for the love of god fix all the rest... Stop going the easy route and destroying the game in the process..

Doctor Who? That has also become inane as of the last two doctors. Nah. Capaldi's final season was the best Nu Who ever got. Though I will concede that Whittaker's first season was rather workman-like. Offtopic - capalda and whittaker have been garbage and the main reason dw has gone downhill faster than kralkatorrik fell out of the mists. Best ever gotten? Matt smith alone blows them both out of the water, and Tennant has always been the best hands down. Whittakers only in the series because women and nothing else. on topic - kill off taimi, braham, rox was ok at best, canach and rytlock are great.Again off topic but totally agree christopher eccleston was by far the best, and David Tennant was a close second i have not watched it after the first Capaldi season or since. On topic please leave Taimi Zojja and Canach, the rest honestly are window dressing.. I very much detest The charr characters..

I got it in a chest.. man its super hideous and for once i wish i'd never got it.. I threw it on my necros as its thematic but i'm debating using it tbh.

The Commander can wield everything he/she is a god...

Totally agree its just dumb and annoying.. I avoid the map for now.. Give customers a toggle to remove the abomination. When will devs learn not to put crap all over customers screens.. Its not immersive its annoying and obnoxious.. Repeat icing up a computer monitor is not immersive at all, it literally breaks immersion as we are suppose to be the character not watching them through a video..

I liked Trahearne. Hate Taimi. Yay opinions! :D And the issue is bad writing, and bad acting. Braham and Rox both have suffered terribly because of both. Same with Trahearne. The characters(lore and story) themselves are really good, but the writing(How they act etc) and acting(good god the voices) they get ruins the characters for many people. Canach has been the only real true compelling character in the entire HoT Story aside from Rytlock and they leave him abandoned for whatever reason. I dont know what happened to the team that made the Heroes from GW1, but they need to get some new writers(IMO) for some of these characters. I don't mind Canach, hes at least an interesting salad.. Other than that i'm not a huge fan of the writing or acting as well.. I agree as the poster above says its like they are aiming at 12yr olds. I still as characters go prefer Zojja and Taimi as characters because they actually have emotion and play their characters decently. The rest as i said really do not interest me in the slightest.. that even goes for the rest of destinys edge. I've actually enjoy more bit parts than the main actors. Doctor Who? That has also become inane as of the last two doctors.

Yeah no.. They are all so over acted its just painful to listen to.. And the dramas.. Because she solves just about -every- issue. We get it, asura are smart, at this point they should apparently rule the world, since all the other races are to dumb to fix issues. Thats because the rest are all window dressing and honestly just useless... Especially Braham.. and Rox.. its just sickening. They should just dump all this excess baggage and just have our player character, we are always on our own anyway between stories.. At least they killed off Trahearne.

I dunno why so many hate Taimi... Shes the only one of the group worth my time.. Honestly if the rest died i'd not even notice but taimi would be my loss..

Man people chase serious carrots in this game.. Just enjoy the game stop with the grinding people, its unhealthy as.
