Grim West.3194

Love playing ranger in WvW. But just to roam around and pew pew. Solo or with a small group. Sometimes squads invite me, but I usually decline. Not really built to help them. If I want to join a squad, I play a different class.

Really like some of GW2's PvE content, but in limited doses. What I hate is being forced to do the PvE content so that I can compete in WvW. That isn't as much of a factor now, WvW doesn't need much PvE. But back when that video was made the PvE requirements for WvW sucked.

I PvP occasionally. But usually only to get used to a build or class before coming back to WvW after a long break. GW2's version of PvP never clicked with me. Get bored with it pretty quickly. Which is a shame, because I love GW2's gameplay mechanics, so it should be great for PvP. I think PvP in GW2 would be more fun with larger group sizes and new maps.

Skill doesn't matter in WvW. Only coverage. KDR is a joke. If 100 BG zerg players tag a enemy solo player (who doesn't have a chance). Guess who gets the higher KDR.

We all would like more communication. But that is not an easy sea to navigate. Players will tear apart and attack everything they say, while drawing false conclusions. Besides, actions speak louder than words. And ANET has many promises that have not been acted on even after 7 years.

I would probably get these if you could turn off the effects. Already too much eye garbage in the game.

They made some improvements to the SkyBrick, so it's not totally useless anymore. But it's still a vanity / troll mount for the most part. Too much effort for too little reward.

As was stated you can get the items from PvP or WvW. But it would be fun to have a reason to do dungeons again.

In NA, Tanking used to be used by the BlackGate players to fool the ANET devs into opening up the server and allow even more players in to their already overstacked server. It worked. ANET was fooled every single time and opened BG up. Now BG is so overstacked that nobody has a chance against their massive zergs. And ANET will not allow anyone other than BG to have a massive overstack. WvW is so poorly designed that zerg size and coverage are the only tactics that matter. So people have to resort to tanking to get away from BG and out of T1, just so they can get somewhat even fights. It looks like BG may be trying to fool ANET again. I expect ANET will take the bait (they always do) and open BG up, if they haven't already.

Ahh, so the only people who like the SkyBrick are the trolls. Now I understand.

Just leveled it enough to do Hero Banners. Haven't done anything with it since.

1, 2, uh.. 4,... SKRITT!

Yeah, the eye garhage has gotten out of hand in this game. Had to install Yolo mouse a couple of years ago just to survive. It's gotten so bad I don't really like playing GW2 much anymore in large encounters. My gear can handle it. Have a monster rig and high frame rates all of the time. But the screen just looks like puke in GW2.

Skritt or nothing...

If you want to hover AFK at the AH and annoy others then the SkyBrick is your dream mount. Otherwise it's a complete waste of time.

They wasted a lot of time getting their useless AFK SkyBrick. They have to justify it's existence and their efforts.

Alliances aren't happening.

Dead game mode. ANET will do nothing to fix WvW as long as you pay money to transfer to the bandwagon server of the week.

There is ZERO meta game in ANET's version of RvR. It's a garbage mode designed to suck money from the bandwagon players without a clue. There use to be rewards for winning, but ANET couldn't figure out how to keep hackers from stealing the items. So ANET gave up and took rewards out of WvW. ANET blamed JQ for all of their WvW problems for a while, so they let BlackGate cheat the system to overstack while blocking JQ. But that created more problems, so ANET gave up again and just abandoned WvW. ANET lets BlackGate remain overstacked because there are still a few bandwagon players out there without a clue willing to spend real money to transfer to the server of the week. ANET's promises for Alliances are all hot air designed to suck more money from the bandwagon players. Which worked for a couple of years, but even that BS has worn thin. Basically, ANET gave up and the result is the useless garbage WvW has become.

It's really not about how PITA the unlocking process is. It's about getting something for all the kittens you have to put up with. The griffon was worth all the kittens, while I do not see that same value with the Skyscale. Too much work for a lackluster mount. Mounts are suppose to ease traveling, not make it more frustrating. Sure you can hover and reach high places with the Skyscale, but there is no need for hovering or reaching those high places. If my bunny cannot reach a height, it's probably a waste of time to get up there anyway. I rather have a Spider mount that can climb walls and cliffs, any day for this kind of PITA unlocking process. Spider mount would be really cool. Almost as cool as a Charr Submarine. But the Skybrick is just a funless afk mount for people who have nothing better to do. A total waste of time and effort.

I like that they are doing these events, very cool. Didn't really have time to play them this go around but I hope they do this again in the future.

Never sold my Mystic Coins back when they were 2c and there was no use for them. Just threw them in the bank and forgot about them. Now I have hundreds of them, even after making a bunch of legendary armor (used for clovers) and buying the WvW guild buffs (100 MC each). Just a suggestion for the future. Keep your cheap junk materials if you have room for them. They may make you rich later.

Flying the Skybrick is like driving a car that is missing a wheel. All the other mounts do the job better and faster.

If the Skyscale was a decent mount then I would have no problem with the effort. But in it's current form the Skyscale is garbage. I wouldn't use it if it were given away free.

I really enjoyed Season 4 story and maps. Same thing with Season 3. Such a huge improvement over the story that comes with the Core game. GW1's story was great. So it was huge let down when GW2 first came out the story was so bad. But they improved so much since then. I probably shouldn't say story but the delivery. How you tell a story is just as important as the story itself. And the way they delivered the story for the core game is abysmal. Kudo's to them for getting it right since then.
