Heart of thorns is like a dream
babak.3654 replied to Invoker.5462's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Agreed, HoT was the highlight of the game for me. It was at its best before the difficulty was reduced and before the introduction of mounts with PoF. -
Studio update makes it look like the game is abandoned
babak.3654 replied to Kozumi.5816's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
It's not maintenance mode by any reasonable definition. But it does seem to be a case of the minimum development necessary to maintain a level of income from the game. I assume the studio calculates that will work out fine because the average GW2 player seems to be very easily satisfied these days.- 111 replies

Runes, Relics and You
babak.3654 replied to Acheron.1580's topic in Secrets of the Obscure Discussion (Archived)
I don't have legendary runes although I was hoping the people who do would see reasonable compensation, but that still seems up in the air. The expectation given to players that legendary items would always be Best in Slot, when legendary runes will lose functionality here, isn't adequately compensated by 'progress' toward a legendary relic in my opinion. But for those of us with exotic runes - some of which are still relatively expensive to obtain or change out, often specifically because of the 6th piece bonus -that the 6th piece bonus is moved to the relic but that we are only going to receive 3 choices of relic for our lost 6th piece bonuses is concerning. I hope one of them might be "increase strike damage by 5% while your health is above 90%" so that I can keep parity with my existing builds on many of my characters running power gear. I wonder how likely that is. But more generally, given the stated aim to be "spending our development resources on improving core systems and features of Guild Wars 2", considering all the areas of the game that are crying out for improvements or updates - how the hell did this rune rework come to the top of that list? -
I’m sufficiently underwhelmed that I am not planning to buy at present. As it is I regretted my EoD purchase, and nothing that has been shown since really excites or reassures me either. So far the developers have not shown that they can competently balance the game as is, so I’m particularly sceptical of the changes to weapon restrictions, runes and relics.

My approach to GW2 has been very casual for years but I didn’t have any difficulty unlocking the Skyscale. The Return to … events in particular made getting the LW4 currencies straightforward, the rest is a bit time gated and repetitive that’s all. Treat it as a longer term goal and try and clear just one bit at a time. You’ll have it eventually.

I picked Cinder purely because I couldn't remember who they were and needed a reminder. Considering the characters that could have been used for this, the choices seemed bizarre.

Mediocre sums it up pretty well.

Priority Strike missions on Asura portal are wrong
babak.3654 replied to Sindariel.2354's topic in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website
Appears still to be bugged as it's out of sync today (daily says Cold War, Portal says Boneskinner). Reported in 2021? Yikes -
The Future of Jade : Power Plant [Merged]

This is still happening. Annoying given that I can see it was reported in March. -
Did You Buy End of Dragons Expansion
babak.3654 replied to Rendalmj.3152's topic in End of Dragons Discussion (Archived)
I don't preorder games and didn't buy the expansion as what it offered didn't really appeal to me that much. At this point I suspect I won't. -
I didn't pre-order but that's mind-bogglingly awful if true
