I liked PoF, mounts were so impressive. Second possibly EoD only because I'm in love with the Canthan aesthetics.

Just ignore them? Seems pretty self-explanatory. I ignore toxic people regardless of the setting. Usually they're just a child.

I feel like this game is PvE-oriented which is a bit of a shame because there are so many better PvE-only games that it boggles the mind. I still login, but my conviction to do dailies or contribute anything dwindles. Love the story still though, might be one of the best stories for a MMO.

Cos literally nobody plays PvP. It's a graveyard. And it's a graveyard because ANet never touches the mode. I think it's beyond saving with just balance patches, I don't think they could ever get enough people playing again to make it fun.

Oh that's certainly an idea then, I'd definitely weapon swap sometimes as well - and a scepter/focus would be great because of the wayward wand from HoM and the new tea kettle would look lovely on a rit-themed character.

Honestly, can't answer that. But my PS4 gets more mileage these days than my PC does. I find it incredibly tedious to enjoy GW2 beyond the story anymore, balance has just been sucked out of the game.

Are you new? What makes you possibly believe they'd support the competitive scene at this point? Move on, lol.

Solely for story and fashion wars, so it doesn't have to be meta. I just want to use the ritualist outfit and staff. I mostly play guardian (in fact I have 3 of them) so if guardian staff is any good for story I might make another.

If only being super-awesome was a category for the Nobel nominations. Regardless, I'm not the one with such a failed grasp of my own communication that I need to call a failed stratagem a "social test" and evaluate the validity of opinions or critiques based on forum activity. It's literally the level of self-awareness one could expect from a child. Hope you find a therapist that works out.

Aw, I got 50/50 and I think it was a blast. If I had to do it again, it'd probably be easier because a lot of people just give away minis these days and the price/effort for everything else has been stable. Some players are even nice enough to give away the cheaper hero armors to new players looking to fill their HoM.

Well yeah. That's why it's usually a graveyard with the same people playing compared to raids and fractals. Except when we want our dailies, ofc. PvP hasn't been good since like 2015 and anyone hoping for change might want to consult their calendars to see how long ago that was.

You should really try to see a therapist.

Hey now I think my fellblade is precious, don't call it ugly!

Oh that'd be the dream.

From context it seems they are referring to the HoM rewards, but that's not exclusive to signing up early and it hasn't gotten any more difficult since EotN released - and arguably has only gotten easier because minis have dropped in price, gold zcoins have risen in price and the 7h update made it much easier to clear content by yourself.

I don't think you know what the Mandela Effect is. Someone pointed out that the nominal difference between "one shot" and "one shot combo" is nitpicking at best, you copped out with it being a social test, and then blasted someone else who saw through how ridiculous that was by criticizing their forum activity. I don't live in the game myself, and have much more respect for the casual players who are trying to manage a work-life balance with some recreational fun time. You're digging your own grave and have derailed your own conversation due to your own blinders. Seek professional help.

1. 7 hero update made the old content solo-able so you don't have to worry about the dead player base 2. Zkeys haven't gone up in price in years. In fact it might be easier now than when I did it over a decade ago because gold zcoins have gained some value. 3. While ambraces have inflated, tormented weapons still sell around what they were worth in EotN days. In conclusion: it's not really harder than since EotN released. And has only gotten easier since the 7h update.

There's already a gemstore request thread that's stickied. What's the issue?

Imagine thinking it's an own that someone doesn't play a video game or whine on the forum as much as you do lol. You make yourself look like a fool.

I don't think GW2 will ever become as blatant Diablo Immoral but the mindset is already well within the game. Most of the development efforts seem to go into new shinies for the gemstore and rotating black lion chests. But at least GW will never be P2W, the wrath of the players would never allow it.

Depends what the objective is. Core game, especially in the short time between the specialization update and HoT, probably had the best profession balance overall and had the healthiest competitive scene imo. The story gets progressively better tho.

Welcome to video games 2022. The mobile tier mindset has infiltrated almost everything that's not a AAA studio title. As much as I like my guild wars franchise because it holds sentimental value, my PS4 gets more mileage. GW2's got a stellar story going for it as a MMO, but that's about it. PvP has been dead for years and only gets worse as time passes on.

Depends on your perspective, no? The updates are clearly meant to make raiding more accessible with little to no afterthought on competitive game modes. So I'd just delete HotM altogether to force the player base to understand that PvE is the only priority.

They care about gem sales. How are you not caught up yet?

Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me
