Love the Daily and Weekly changes
Aelin.9317 replied to Julischka Bean.7491's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I was happy when I spotted fishing on the daily, and having alternative methods for things is really nice QoL. Also good riddance to activity and the mini dungeons. -
If the issue causing failure is leeching/lazy players this makes it worse. At least a lazy player is maybe doing some damage, preventing the player from doing any damage at all makes it worse and makes failure more likely. Forcing participation at each stage for the reward sounds fine, preventing damage that can negatively impact the instance overall doesn't.

I love fishing, I'd love some QoL and expansion of features. Add some more crafting materials for future leggy bits into the loot would be nice.

Mastery Points are a scourge in GW2
Aelin.9317 replied to someguy.4107's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
When I was brand new the people helping me made it clear I don't need ascended gear unless I wanted to do t4 fractals. I did wvw in full exotic for ages same for raids. I'm not sure why you're in a rush to get him ascended gear. I wasn't in any particular rush for masteries either. I went through the story and progressed each area more slowly and got masteries without thinking much about them besides veterans giving me tips on where to put early ones. I think the issue comes if you're trying to rush into certain content. I loved my birb when I first got it and getting it's masteries didn't take long, I even got the exp doing the races each day. Going through pof story alone gets you the mount progression pretty smoothly. He probably wouldn't be nearly so frustrated if he wasn't constantly comparing himself to you. -
Yes I feel bad we let our pet suffer with mange. Fix it!

Returning player experience has been terrible so far
Aelin.9317 replied to Sweenisbar.9082's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Even as a new player the amount of trash loot the game throws at you, then confusingly labels as a trophy making you think it should be kept and then paywalls expansion of inventory does rub you the wrong way for sure! More used to it now since I am playing about 18 months at this point yet I still find it a bit annoying the amount of garbage the game bloats you with and the inventory management that comes along with it. But I tend to now spend a couple minutes sorting my inventory at the end of each play session. I can easily see how logging on after a long hiatus can be overwhelming, but you for sure made a boo boo taking all those birthday gifts at once! And all those little exclamation marks and pop ups for purchasing will surely be overwhelming alongside a messy inventory. Glad someone sent you some bags, I think making a new character and playing through to relearn the game is a lovely idea. Have fun! They certainly could improve the experience for returners. Honestly removing 'trophy' tag from garbage that can be safely sold would be a nice start. Some quest item things that you get multiple of I was never sure if I could chuck it or would regret it. The game doesn't tell you and it all clogs your inventory so quickly. When you come back to any game you just wanna play, not play inventory management sim and checking the wiki for what is safe to vendor and what isn't. I really love and appreciate the wiki and the peepos who maintain it! But I still very much dislike how little the game itself provides information on certain things. -
Sword/Warhorn OP -> Nerf Kata instead of the weapon????
Aelin.9317 replied to WaifuJanna.9108's topic in Elementalist
Disappointing to see nerfs that do not target the overperforming parts of the kit. Instead underperforming weapons are even worse. This patch was not very large I hope they tweak the weapons and traits more in a future patch. I really like hammer on catalyst, I love the idea of having every weapon be viable and they need to work on making that a reailty. I don't want really care if sword warhorn is the best, just don't have the other weapons be that far off 🙂 and honestly for having less utility available things like sword sword or hammer should ideally have the greater dmg output. When is dps tempest going to feel better plz? -
Why is the griffon so expensive?
Aelin.9317 replied to Labjax.2465's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I think the price of the bird is steep but fair. It's not essential for map traversal like the bun, raptor and skimmer are. Since the griffin was the sole reason I even gave this game another shot after trying it for all of 5 minutes the year before and hating how old the game looked. Thanks to WoW dragonflight leading to comparisons to griffon flying on reddit! When I started I kept every penny for the bird once I researched how much it would cost me. Took me a few months since I was working through the story slowly as well but it was so great to finally get my birby in the end ^^ Like any bigger goal it's jus done slowly with time or if you were laser focused like I was it could be a bit quicker. I was just selling literally everything I got till I got the gold for the griffon. Now though I sell fewer things since I know what I might need later but I am still sitting on a decent lump of raw gold with that and I'm not playing much lately. If you want the mount get it, if you want to get the legendary do that and get the mount later. -
Are we loosing him ? Mighty teapot
Aelin.9317 replied to Nightcore.5621's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I started in large part due to one of the videos wing posted of them flying their gryphons. Community created content is important ^^ Teapot, Lara and Mukluk have all been beneficial to me as a player and kept me more engaged in the game thanks to their content being helpful and entertaining 🙂 -
Why is an achievement-gated minidungeon a daily?
Aelin.9317 replied to Moormur.3078's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
It's also bugged and refuses to reset so none of us can actually do it. RIP.
