  1. Yes it is okay, because they have to make their revenue somehow. Unless...you want less content? Integrity is the cost of going the "free" model.
  2. The balancing is different because WvW has different adjustments for skills, also WvW is the more hardcore approach because you have full control over your stats instead of an amulet. I never took the 1vX crowd seriously because the game as a whole is not focused on being a fighting game like Mortal Kombat. If I wanted to show off my gaming prowess of button smashing I would just play that, but MMOs, Guild Wars especially is more resolved to strategy.
  3. I'm not sure I think it's a sound when a guild claims a WvW structure or a team caps one, not sure though.
  4. You want to continuously kill this silly character you've built up....again and again....
  5. This post was made with the thought that people on General Discussion care, when the majority probably don't or will understand. In spite of all this, I would like to point out that the flaw in all this is that often times it's not that everyone needs to be DPS. A lot of the times it's that there's not enough support or boons being thrown out, you see this a lot in T3 fractals and it's why most groups struggle past that point, or moreso you can feel the difficulty intensify due to the lack of boons and healing/condi cleanse. I think it's good that a meta is finally hard to do, I think that for a long time I evaded PvE because it was just too easy, and too easy over time becomes too boring. Sure the reward is there, but because there's no challenge there, it tells me I'm wasting my time swinging at dust. I think that's why the majority of the player base considers the game boring at a point, because the inclusion of 80 people against one boss cleaning it out in 15 sec for little reward is just not good. However there's a lot to rewarding, I wont get into it now, but it's the players job to learn to be efficient with their currencies.
  6. I don't want my Guardian to act like a thief, thanks, but hard pass! ;c
  7. There's a lot of items that I bought from the gem store with real money, only to use them for two days and never again.
  8. Sounds incredibly immature, possible troll. WoW sounds a little more up your alley, nobody dies in that game anymore.
  9. Are you prepared to pay 500g for a couch? I mean I've seen the willingness of people willing to pay that much just for a guild hall decoration.
  10. Hero points are a joke, just get in a zerg and trade the tokens, you don't actually need to get all those 1HP points in wvw at all. Not even for map completion like you used to.
  11. You mean you want stylized art, like World of Warcraft. I do a lot of work on that style of art, the problem is that it's difficult in the overall pipeline to implement compared to other ones we have available. Most stylized work (not all) that resolves to the gaming category ends up being hand painted. The process of hand painting could take about 1 hour to hand paint a set of UV shells in stylized art. Whereas with more photo-realistic approaches you have materials that can be dynamically adjusted and painted using substance painter in about half the time. Even adjust its light map and everything. Baking is also easily done in substance painter. Having played both WoW and Guild Wars 2, this feeling you have, which I also had, excessively died down, because as time passes you care less about the graphics of the game and more about the content it puts out. And Guild Wars, takes the cake by a mile on this one, just my opinion, the weapons are better, I have no idea how they make the effects for them.
  12. Your spirit shard farming is hindered because you probably haven't optimized it, have you gotten all your masteries? Do you have all your acc boosts? etc. Normally you don't actually need spirit shards for anything ascended, throwing them into that is actually a major league waste when there's tons of better ways to get ascended armor. Also stat swapping, is probably something you consider doing once, not over and over again, that too is a waste and should warrant you looking at what you're doing or how worthwhile it is to continue to do as you're told.
  13. Have you tried instead calling your ISP and asking them to change your IP address? Seems very tunnel visioned to make everyone leave a platform for your problem.
  14. I agree, the story was bland and the mobs just felt like meat shields. There's no real reason to buy it unless you 100% wanna find out what happened to Aurene's egg, before she was brought to Mordremoth and the mastery points. I had it on an old account, and I haven't bought it yet on my new one, I think it's worthwhile to spend the gold on the chapters that have the mastery points and then bail. To be fair the average new player should only stick to the expansion stories and probably will never see LS2, and decide whether or not to partake on the Living Story later on. Metas for living stories are now kind of outdated, hopefully volatile magic doesn't turn into the next unbound magic, that would be a shame anyhow.
  15. Just as the title says, if anyone's willing to lend a hand for this I would greatly appreciate it. Basically you have to finish the Hearts and Minds story in challenge mode, and you cant die during the three fights (Braham/Caithe/Canach+mordremoth).
  16. It's not hard if you learn how to do it, you have to be committed to what it is you want, if you start spending gold on stuff you don't need and will only use 1-2 days, you'll struggle to get those bag slots. Gold making in this game is an aggressively hard process that takes a great deal of stinginess and commitment. My advice to you, the new player, is that to succeed in this game you need to take big risks, the bigger the risk, the greater the reward. There are a lot of secrets that people don't know about in Guild Wars in regards to gold making, for now, just focus on getting the masteries done for your lvl 80, as that will actually help your gold generating feats.
  17. I havent done anything EoD yet, but if you win on a game all the time it's not fun anyway.
  18. I don't know I used Fantasy Name Generator and got a bunch of names, sometimes you have to give your character a last name.
  19. I don't know if any other Bladesworn have encountered this, but at least on my norn warrior, while using the gunsaber the dialogue cuts off the non gunsaber dialogue, and it removes the integrity of the design. I imagine that if a character is to have this work, while under the elite spec the original dialogue should be muted and the gunsaber dialogue should take over.
  20. I love it when people tell me Berserker is trash, then they explain to me all the stuff that is wrong with it, then they spend 30 min trying to convince me that they're correct, then they proceed to tell me how much better Bladesworn is, then I proceed to violently delete them from the face of the earth in a match, that feels good. That makes me feel good. I even had people pm me what my build is, people raging about the fact that I killed them, and people who kept insulting Berserkers as a spec. No disrespect intended, I know Bladesworn is solid, but to disregard a class as a whole and relegate everyone to play one thing and one thing only, is what makes potentially good players worse. The thing is, this game is not about what is meta, and what is the best build, it's about strategy, and human thought. Even gold making, and everything in the game, warrior, is all about strategy. It was never the spec, it was simply the strategy I used against them. Spellbreaker, Bladesworn, Berserker, Core, it's all just strategy man.
  21. Just piggybacking on my earlier story after that guy did that crap I started ranting about how he needs mental help from a therapist on map chat and then another dude came in and started excusing the crap that guy pulled on me. I noped tf outta the game in a fury and went to do something else irl. I swear once I get what I need out of raiding namely any insights and the leg armor, I'm done with it for good, maybe ill do a new raid once and never again.
