About the bosses being hard.. they're not that hard. You need to switch to a sustain build. Easy, go to your build tab and make a sustain build. That easy. If they're too hard for you, learn the pattern and you'll be fine on the 2nd or 3rd try. I finished the original storyline, then the HOT story and POF. Then I finished caudecus and the crystal dragon from LS3 & 4. I just hate the fact that you need to listen to taimi talk for 50% of the storylines. Seriously, you're trying to have dinner- taimi speaks up on your nextel. You're trying to have a date with your crush, and taimi again. Dude, you're trying to take a dump and.... nextel ringing. It's taimi again. Haha, I think that they should cut the dialog a bit and pack more action/activity. And should I have to say is - the instance chase SUCKS. You get in and out of instances so often it just get tiring. Can't we follow an easier way other than waypoint teleporting and chasing the quest? Like, in videogames you just progress, in guild wars you just chase green stars around the map and hope the story is done anytime soon.

This is something that has been in my mind since I started out in guild wars 2. Why does a digital, static shop omit most of its items and "rotate" items after a whole season or sometimes a whole year or 2. I get it. Anet wants the needy approach, but it just shuns the game and puts away the interest of players. I for one, have lost interest in the gem store, because there's plenty of nice looks to make with regular items and these I get right away. So I vouch for "seasonal items" i.e, it's easter- easter themed skins along with new release content. That'd be logical. But keeping items on hold for unknown time, just kills players' interest in buying them. I'll tell you why this approach does not work. Anet wants us to "desire or wish" for items so that we may buy them, resulting in profit. But then again, if I desire an item, I'll buy it right away and be done with it, so what's the difference? The difference here is, that 1) I wanted an item, I bought it and I'm satisfied. And 2) there's no way to know when the item will be available, so I instantly lose interest, realize it's for the good "I should save my money, I'm glad its not available after all" and don't buy anything at the end. That's why this approach does not work. You see, if I'm customizing a character, I'll look for resources then and there, I won't wait for 6 months or a year to finish the looks. Just make Everything available except for holidays and festivals items. You'll get more profit this way and you'll get to remove this big dent from your game. Just Ban Gem Store Rotation. Be smart. Thank you.

Here is another plead, to nobody. But let me write down my thoughts here anyway, because I know that there are others like me with the same thinking. It is 2022 and we all know that this means nothing to anet when it comes to making a decent change for the gameplay of mesmers. Heck anet has broken a very attractive class. What? No. We all know that this unwise decision of chopping mesmers, also lead to players losing interest in ever playing their characters at all. Unwise for the simple fact that mesmers are useless compared to other classes. They're no useful support. No dps. No sustain. No nothing at all. You can pve with mesmers, and fool the dumb, predictable enemies; but most of us endgame players don't play pve. Our thing is pvp and wvw. We invest in our characters to be good for wvw and pvp, not pve. Period. But friend, when I started out in guild wars 2, about 2 years ago, I was interested in this clone-creating, mind-shattering class called mesmer. I was so excited about playing this unique class that I went long extents with mines. And deleted him the same way, after I learned of other classes. And then I remade him again, and tried a thousand builds, but no, mesmers will never good the way they are. Oh but the whining! Yep, if I didn't like this class, I wouldn't bother, but the fact is, I do. I play pvp and wvw on 6 other characters and they are all successful in any build I make for them. But my mesmer just won't cut it with any build. The trolls will say "YOu doN'T KNOw hOw tO PLay BRo." We all know you'll say this because you know nothing of guild wars 2 and the other classes available. It's like- reapers or guardians or rangers(and all others) are BMW's that go 280km/h while mesmers are those little smart vehicles that run at 60km/h. Oh man, I'd love to come home from work one day, to receive news of a patch that would turn that defenseless guy of no useful perks, into a decent and playable class in pvp and wvw. Say what you want to try and contradict me, but we who have tried all classes in multiple builds either for pvp and wvw... know better. /cry

I decided to reply to this post because I see some obnoxious players here with comments such as the one above- that are nothing but slimy statements that translate to: "MeSMer is OP, YOU'RE thE OnE Who doeSN't knOW hoW tO pLAy it. HUrhurHUr." /laugh I love the concept of mesmers, they're truly unique compared to other generic classes that we see in most games out there i.e thief, warrior and archer, making them attractive for new people to try the game out...to be bitterly disappointed in this defenseless class. You'll try to shield mesmers as long as you haven't tried other classes. Period. Like this guy above bragging that he encountered some noobs in wvw.. Lol! My core guardian will stare at your mesmer with a mean face, and boom! You're dead. I'll /shrug over your downed body and finish you without even losing 500 of hp In a battle that lasted less than 5 seconds. It's just like that. You'll try hard to strike me in your only momentum, only to realize I that have enough aegis, dodge and blindness, pull, and enough power to mow down and all your hopeless clones in mere seconds. If you run, I'll chase you and kill you anyway, for I got 2 target teleports just for that one type of situation. Man, mesmer sucks. Why argue about this fact? I invested gold in trying to revive mines. I tried him power, condi, hybrid, you name it. To realize I tried a 1000 builds and all stat formats and none of them will ever make this guy win fights. It's not about skill, or knowing the precise time to strike. You're defenseless against a teleport or a rush. My soulbeast, ele, zerker, guard, Reaper.. hell even my core engi will laugh at mesmers in wvw or pvp. Pvp I played alot. holy smokes, A real lot. And also shot plenty of mesmers dead with ease with my thief and guard and reaper as well. Mesmers are crippled because they're glass and defenseless. If you unglass them, they're damageless- you have nowhere to run. End of the story: Cry for your loss just like me, who really likes this class but will never play it in either wvw or pvp.

Hey, Cedo!I use the America server. I didn't think that a VPN could help, but there's a great idea! I'll definitely look into it!Thanks

Hey guys and a good evening to you all!I'm here because my computer got tired of opening up the task manager to deal with Guild Wars 2 and I want to ask the community about these issues. Server Connection -I have been playing the game for over a month now, with expansions and stuff.I do many pvp matches in a day and rely on a good connection to be able to enjoy the matches.My domestic connection is fine, it works fine with every single app, game, browser, you name it, my ping is stable at 40, goes 50 tops, except(only) in guild wars it is always 300+.I don't get it because I play online FPS games on disc with squad and my ping doesn't go to the moon and back like it does here.There are several things that happen because of this connection:-Infinite loading screens in PVP = Dishonor-Random crashing during PVP = Dishonor-Random select screen during PVP = Dishonor(This means I can't play pvp because I'm constantly being banned from it = Unfair Punishment) Random select screen during story mode = rollback to story progress.Random crashing during story mode = rollback to story progress.Infinite loading screens = rollback to story progress.(This means that story mode is way too hard to keep up with at times).I play this game with a friend of mines who recommended the game.He is on a different server, but he gets the same issues as me. I've started to be afk for most of the time by now.Of course, I get banned from pvp constantly and get rolledback on story progress(in the heart of thorns maps specially). In this quarantine, this game is a good entertainer and if there's a fix to these issues, I'll try.Yet I wonder if it's an issue of my hardware since it works fine with every other platform I've tried before, it's really just guild wars that give me trouble. - For the folks who like to ask questions or give statements like:''Do you have an active internet connection while attempting to play Guild Wars 2?'' Yes.''Have you tried to reset your modem/computer?'' 500 times.''Is your connection data-limited?'' No.''Is your computer on fire while playing Guild Wars 2?'' Clean/Office type computer that never had any hardware or software issue, fully updated windows 10 and windows defender 100%.''If you're connecting from a distant place, there's no wonder your connection sucks.'' Well, I've played MMOs hosted in Asia (I'm currently in Brasil) and I've never had an issue before.''Your computer has an issue XYZ followed by some un-understandable explanation to how you're having these issues.'' Might be true, but I guess this issue does not work for any other game/app/browser this computer is trying to connect to. If you're an expert and have a tweak that could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! After all, Guild Wars is fun and I want to keep on supporting it.My best regards to the community.
