karka queen is still there, it misses the escorte part to the cave and throwing a tree to the boss because your skill are weaker than a tree or eggs for some reason :# so i'd say that's for the best...but granted marionette and AOLA ain't here anymore and i doubt recoding it is worth. They need to come up with good stuff to make it up for IBS final chapter and wasting their time on old content won't help

well s1 was pretty empty and the biggest part is available in fractal so coding how to place sign in snowdendrift should be ok, but a waste of time :'(

i really do believe that drms will probably be added to the list of abandoned content by arenanet someday, just wait =)(dungeons, raids, fractals and strikes are already waving at mr. drm from the horizon)Isn't it already? @Obtena.7952 said: That doesn't make sense. Leechers in public instances isn't a reason to remove content, or release it for that matter. Especially if there is an option for a private instance.Maybe They "leech" because they don't see it as content but still have skin and other quaggans hidden behind itThat a player can make an excuse like that as an attempt to justify leeching is an issue with the player, not the content.The issue with the content is that the player gets away with it. Content is terrible so no I won't blame players opting for afk solution if they just want skins and I believe if there were other way to get the materials they would do like I and wouldn't even bother to join that joke of content.If the content was half descent why not, but it isn't the case. The content not meeting your personal tastes is not a reason to make other people do the work for you because you want a skin.It's an excuse.Forcing people to play the content you enjoy by gating their goal onto it is also very selfish. So don't be surprised if they then let you do your stuff alone and claim the reward

There is couple of new maps and fract were reworked too since 2013.DRM are the best way to fight insomnia

speaking of having things to play: spend 2 day doing fractals dailys and you get the gold to buy the story chapter. OMG its free :oand for next ones if you cannot log in in game every 2 month well you do 2 fractals when coming back ;) go on a secondary character and click start the episode, log off and you will unlock it without spoilers

and at the same time, guilds in the dead game mode wvw don't struggle to get 10, 20, 30 people together. Go figure. Maybe anet should stop the raid experiment. why stopping? nah like wvw, pvp, dungeon, story its a game mode. Indeed not all player want to or give themself the opportunity to play those game mode, it doesn't mean that other they should get rid of it. And if they were to get rid of the gamemode most likely it would make these player go away as they would be forced to go from dynamic team combat to afk solo auto attack.imo they just have to continue providing content to all gamemode, whether its wvw, pvp, dungeon, raid or story but also some guild action because its also quite inexistant there i took a 4y break and nothing new for guild mission :#

Its not about the kill, its about improving your gameplay.

Indeed, at 2 000 LI you can have a smooth run. But you will not have another players joining the raid/strike community. And taking into account the raiders also want new raids I can conclude that not ANet, but the raider community is responsible for the rate of adding new raids. Not ANet but the raider community is keeping the new comers away. Why? Because they want a smooth run. And loot as fast as possible. And - not least - because they want to show to the common players who are the elite =) Having 1 new guy in a 2000LI group is leeching not learning. he would get the kill because players 9 man the boss and the new player would be confused and get nothing out of it. but no worries this does exist its the selling system if you want to learn that way you can for couple of mystic coins.Now if you really want to learn raid I'd advise you to either find a guild that train their members or to join a raid training community discord.Or you can just keep cry that people people are evil and toxic because you don't want to learn and they refuse to carry you.

I don't think LI are a problem at all. I've been in both type of groups and sadly not all player are able to think their build/rotation or just used one made by some better player leadin to some very ackward "dps" player dealing less damage than a druid pet (druid as a healer deal close to no damage at all). Some player want to do their strike quickly and use their spare time for other things and there is nothing wrong about not wanting to carry player through the stike, its exactly the same as other player that do not want characters below lv 80 in dungeon. People are complaining about LI group but you know there is nothing wrong about joining a non LI group, i often do so for shiver, fraenir and kodans as there is no difficulty at all and almost (some surprise happens) impossible to fail. You can also tag up and create your own no LI group, people will join quite fast and you can do strike together. But if you really think you are above no LI group and you think your dps/heal/boon is worth a 250 LI (or whatever the number is) don't hesitate to join the group and ask for a trial. Most com will allow you especially if it starts with shiver because there is no mechanics to do at all and will see straight away how you do without any pressure. if there is no major problem in your gameplay you'll be able to stay else will be out but take this opportunity to try improve your gameplay :) Quite funny though, so many people shouting at LI being evil and meanwhile they totally accept the very same thing in dungeon :# (yeah can't find any complaint about Lv 80 requirement) Removing LI isn't possible anyway because it would end up on having "LI people" getting everyone in their group and when seeing dmg/boon output on most player they would end up kicking and blocking players ( yeah you can rename player Bad dps or bad boon in blacklist) soo would know not to accept them anymore in their group and it would end up the same.

nah you should have your gold back as before you bought if it was between friday and now. issues are mostly if:-loots (rip those who got rare stuff) and progression (AP, daily, strike, raid, fractal, DJ, pvp, wvw, story, levels, maps achiev, guess i'm forgetting some) -as TP is not affected by RB:if you collected gold or sucessful order during this time its lostbuying order:if you ordered an item on TP: order still on but you have your gold back (gold duplicated)if you cancelled a previously made buying order on TP: your order is sucessfully cancelled but your gold is lost due to RB (both item and gold value lost) if you collected gold from TPselling order:if you placed an item for sale in TP: it should be still in TP and back in inventory (item duped)cancel a previously made sale order in TP: you lost the item if you collected the item from TP -blacklion company is also not affected (gemwise).you should have the proper amount of gems but what you bought isn't available onto you account anymore (gladly whatever you bought is still present in the gemstore history) so should be the easiest fix, if there is noway to fix the RB the can manually give back whatever is listed :)

-70% damage you call that a buff lolPlaying support for what? There is no group to support, some squad are made for metas and workd boss and it is mostly group 1 people, group 2 com so ppl can taxi. How can a support player even support anyone when his heal or boon are randomized between 40 player?Wait how do you even need support player when monster die before you loose hp even with no boons ? reducing overal damage or increasing monster hp would at least give a purpose to support player. Dps would need boon to kill monster faster and also healers to stay alive, but none of these are needed due to monsters being way too weak in open world

If you forget spvp wvw and raiding i'd say anet should get a 80% damage debuff so player can enjoy fighting monsters instead of oneshoting them all. 70% for necromancers so they are bit more balanced, poor things

Its not elitism, it is asking for a minimum of knowledge before the run. If you cannot prove it then you go in training runs. If you cannot kill the boss in training run maybe look at you dps or boons or heal to see if you were doing ok or not and if not work on it. And as i said before removing kp or li won't change anything, people will look at dps table or boon table and kick anyway because most likely beginers won't match expectations.Its nice to have some intermediate stuff like strike but I'm affraid it cannot fix delusional player that think they are good dps and refuse to improve themself when dealing less damage than a chrono boon or worse druid heal... A story mode raid like? 80% of players won't be able to complete story because those "elitist" will refuse to carry them for free and play together. If not elitist player try to do it together it won't work due to lack of boon or dps or heal. Prepare your mystic coin to complete story ?

I started raid 4 month ago with 1Li (i think i did an escort one day long ago). And guess what I had no problem to start raiding.Li group are not meant to be training group, for training you need to join group called "training" or without li/kp requirement and struggle on the bosses. Or you can join a community that organise training where you most often are guided and end up being much more efficient than groups in lfg.But if you really want to start in a group where is kill is guaranted and put not much work or effort in it there is also a wide variety of alliances doing so in exchange of few mystic coins ? If with all that you cannot get started maybe your place ain't in raid and to be fair its better to have LI or KP to make selection than waste anyone time kicking people over and over because they don't match the expectations (wich would be seen anyway with the tool available) imo will be toxicity 10 fold if you remove LI & KP

LI and KP group are not training group hence the requirement.If you want to train there is a lot on lfg or you can join some discord server to learn.There is a few on snowcrow website:https://snowcrows.com/raids/training/ However if you are like many and join a training hoping to get a kill and leave after 1 try you will waste anyone time. In which case i would recommend to use the proper PL system and farm MC to buy your kill, you can easily find sellers in lfg too ;) Anybody can play raid you just need to be willing to learn and improve yourself. No special skills are required nor being a pgm, all boss are easy you just need to get use to their mech and do your task

I laugh when I look at arcdps during these events. Last night I was playing a Renegade Healing build and I was 5th or 6th DPS in a full 50 man squad. No wonder these nubs find him harder to beat, they can't even out DPS the healer. The entire fight is being carried by 5 or 6 people. @Fangoth.3164 said:Yesterday i got a drakkar fight being top dps of a 50 player group with a bad 8k dps. Doing a proper rotation and having good buff could easily double that and still the boss got killed with 15min left on timer.Health isn't an issue, wouldn't be surprised to see it killed in with 22 to 25min left on timer by good and well thought groups. Especially if they phase it at first burn and so do not get downtime waiting for him to relocate. Yea...see, the thing is, 90% of PVE players are here to relax and not do top raid DPS, if they are even capable of managing the rotation depending on the builds/class.And its not stressfull to do a half descent dps (it can be done by having the good gear/skills and pressing all skills without numbers on it), it also feels satisfying because you know you've been usefull to the fight ?And well if they stop giving up whenever they fail once or twice and try to improve themself instead they might even end up doing raids and realise its not even hard ?‍♂️ Nah just cutting time to 10 min so either people work on their gameplay or fail ?Teq was same at release, too hard blah blah blah, now he is just a joke all tyria laughing at its incompetence ? I'm not an expert in all classes but by getting them all lv 80 I did noticed they all can jump and get at least 2 dodge which is more than enough to get not damage during the whole fight.Insulting player isn't the way to go but yeah if you get down in this fight its your own fault

Sooo raid are not difficult you just have to learn how it works, which the comunity already does. I started raids 3-4month ago went to a training community and now get most of the boss everyweek. The issue with the amount of people in raid?Its a gameplay that ask you to get better, some player don't want that and strike won't change anything about it.If a group player want to play with a build that do no damage or heal or boon they won't be able to succeed in some boss due to enrage timer.Why not removing those? Why should it be a problem if a group of people spend 1 or 2h killing a boss with their not adapted build?Enrage timer are the problem imo. People already have the handicap of facing more mechs the longer they take, let them learn all mechs and kill the boss in 4h with auto attacks if they fancy it.Best in all that, player that want to speedrun or down boss more efficiently they still can.

1: lowering hp then what happen if people learn how to dps? Just keep in mind that most player do 1 competance rotation with an armor that isn't made to deal damage. A boss with an attavk patter so predictable and so long dps phase can just be burned with zerk or viper stuff. 2: its gw2 you never have reward. Pretty consistant on that. 3: mechs are really slow and are easily avoidable. Spoiler: jump 7 time-ish (or stay opposit side from the boss) Go to the left or right side of the boss so cone don't hit you dodge toward the boss Stay out of tornado or red circleJump over wave when greenc circle end Or just ignore the all because you already did the success and it doesn't hurt you Anet cannot do a world boss scaled on raid boss as it would forever fail because most player have a casual gameplay (which is totally fine but not compatible with raid) that would make fail the boss. Most likely it would end up with raid people teleporting to different maps, picking the emptiest and fill it with raid people, a bit like triple terror but triple terror doesn't require much dps, just coordination. So in the end would be better to release a 50 man raid option than that ?And raid reward aren't good either, ascended gear that you cannot even sell at trading post, totally useless if your characters are geared.

Play mech go to any raven sanctuary to get immuned to this frost effect ?

Loved the theme! And totally had great time running everywhere on that map.I was a bit affraid at start that masteries would take a long xp farming session as it is a new line and only available in that map but it ended up to be fast as long as you are helping locals. Took a bit more time to get mastery point but still more than descent.Story wise was fine, long enough for a free release. Loved the introduction of jormag and her (?) sweet voice. Can't wait to continue hunting her.Meta wise: frustrated, loved to participate it, got hyped (yeah lets fight a jormag claw 2.0) but got trolled with the appearence of the construct. Haven't tried the chain yet but it introduce a logic mech to the fight. But i don't understand why having a trade for LWS4. Its easy to farm them i don't see the point on simplifying it. Will it remain a karma farm or will it become a new magic later on ? frozen magic?

You all heard Randulf, I'll run downstairs and tell everyone to hold the update. (I will not do that, don't worry. ;) ) Thanks Rubi! Lots of us are very excited! ME TOO! Honestly everyone here is. We are super excited to get this into your hands. I really love how you decided to answer two fluff posts, and skip the 'hey, you had months to make it work, why are you doing it now' one. Because it wasn't a fair comment prob. Every game has preparations to be made on the live day where a major patch is concerned. It's not a case of not doing it earlier, it's a case of - this is how it works It was a fair comment. You're not supposed to check errors or test stuff an hour before supposed release date. cry when there is bugs.cry when they fix bug and release is dalayed.make up your mind dude I made up my mind.Get us a release that doesn't have major bugs because you fixed them earlier than the day you release it. good was annonced on 2020 the 2019 was a typo they may be about 1 year early, nice

Disapointed that it is so limited and expensive.Something that could be awesome fall into the okayish section...Cost of having 4 armor and 6 build on a character: 1600 gemsCost of creasting new character (giving you also an extra 2 armor and 3 build): 800 gems... How about you let people have it for free and make new mounts/mini pet/skin to get a revenue. Everyone love nice and fancy mounts, even those that use only 1 build per character ?
