  1. I for one do not mind most of the characters.  I feel like perhaps most of them are like people in real life... people in real life tend to be boring, and you do not see them all of the time so you know barely anything about them (so no character development.)  And I know characters and people are more interesting when fleshed out.

    But maybe that is an issue?  Most of the characters in GW2 are not fleshed out like characters in a TV series or a movie... but more portrayed as real people with real issues.

    When was the last time you were honestly concerned with or found most people you met in real life actually interesting?

  2. Well. Time to quit playing my Engineer for another 6 years.  Thanks alot for the stupid well changes.

    Ground targeted on wells especially on the Elite is ridiculous and who is even deciding this is a good thing?

    Might as well just play Harbinger.

    ...for one build of one character.

    It's as if you are being deliberately obtuse here. Amazing. Keep it up.

     

    You are the absolute worst kind of player.  Some content should indeed be gated behind walls.  Otherwise, why even bother making any content geared at players who want something to work toward.  Just because some new player cannot access it freely does not mean it is broken.  Not every aspect of every game holds your hand.

    If you have such an issue with this... Mr. "I am so rich I have everything I could ever dream of."  How about you take some of your kitten gold and help new players instead of crying on the forums about how gated content is so evil.

    A full set of ar stat infusions costs ~1500 gold. What exactly does this add? The same stat infusion set costs a few laurels and honor tokens for raids. Basically free.

    Its not a problem if you play axe only fb or scourge but if you want to improve and swap between different specs it gets expensive very fast. and it adds NOTHING.

    You see this from the 1 char perspective only. Look at it more from somebody who can play everything but doesnt have full legendary yet.

    Cfb -> 1 ar set.
    qfb -> another ar set.
    Dh oh look another ar set
    Willbender.... another ar set and all of these just for one character. And all of these have to be ascended gear sets too. What exactly does this add to the game? You also cant just test a new build because you need ascended gear first. No a problem for the scourge/fb onetrick but what if you want to play different specs? You can in raids just fine. you cant in fractals.

    Not a problem for me because i have full legendary. But how many players do have full legendary? Thats also why specter pugs never swap to daredevil after cms and proceed to be completely useless in normal t4s. their daredevil set is probably not even ascended.

     

    Then don't buy AR Stat infusions and keep them seperate?  It is like having more than one character is just too hard for some people...

    There is always a segment of any fandom that absolutely cannot stand having anything about it questioned. It's as if it's a personal attack on them that something they like has any flaw or issue in need of being addressed. Everything they like must be perfect because if anything about it is problematic that means their liking it is somehow wrong, therefore they are wrong, and not being wrong is the most important thing to them. They will actively campaign to keep flaws and actively fight any improvements because they take it as an indication that they are mistaken in some way.
    This is in the same mental area that has people refuse to allow improvements to things because "it was good enough in my day". Somehow other people having an easier time or more fun or even just a different experience is an invalidation or reduction in value of their effort or time put into something. Everything must always remain exactly as hard/annoying/awkward/etc. as it was for them or they are somehow diminished.

     

    There is also a segment of any fandom that needs everything handed to them, and has to have it tailor made to the way they want it to be, as opposed to how it is.  I guess we know where you fall.  *holds out a few handouts*

    Shouldn't be too hard to just remove infusion slots / AR infusions and just keep it as an account-wide stat. With permanent increases to the stat from farming fractals, up to a cap that goes higher the higher the fractals you're farming it from. (like luck, but with a cap based on the highest tier fractal you've cleared)

    The more difficult part with changing this would be doing it in a way that doesn't make players unhappy - the transition from infusions that players spent time and effort on to a new system (which also requires time and effort, but isn't tied to char-specific gear slots).

     

    I run Pub (Public) T4 fractals daily... most of the time we only have 5 DPS, no healers, quickness and alacrity.  Completely RANDOM people... non organized.  I have even done it with CMs.

     

    If you can't finish them with fully equipped characters, with Ascended gear and max Agony Resist on even 1 character...

     

    ...then the problem is a failure to understand mechanics of T4s and CMs.  You can do T4 CMs with a full DPS party.  Stop crying whenever you don't have Alacrity/Quickness and a Healer.  Your entire post talks about understanding the mechanics, but the fact that you cannot complete them with a full 5 Man Max AR group just goes to show it is not the Agony being on the right characters that is an issue...

     

    ...it is a lack of skill and coordination on your guilds part.

    I asked the support team to give me back my 7.5k research notes. I think, it's only fair since they didn't communicate the change earlier and 7.5k is a lot of notes! That's dozens of ascendeds!

    But instead of being understanding, they gave me a soulless, canned corporate response:

    This is just so heartbreaking. I got it literally three days before the patch. I would've waited instead of breaking dozens of ascendeds for it, and the sheer indifference with which they treated me is just mind-boggling...

     

    Edit: -FAQ-

    So people are saying it's 75g+2500 research notes... Well I don't care about 75g! Take it! I want the convenience of having the notes, not the useless gold that I'll have to put in another 1-2 hours to transform to notes at maybe1-2g discount. It's not time effective, it's not fun, it's just a pain!

    You can spend an hour crafting every day and make a good profit, because crafting is boring and people are willing to pay for the convenience. Well, I am more than willing to pay for the convenience of those 7500 research notes! Just take the gold and give me the notes, that's a fair trade, yes ? So why are they not letting me make the trade ?

     

    What you are essentially asking.  Without meaning to do so.  Is that you are asking them to compensate every person for any change made to the game at any time.

    You are not special.  Everyone deals with these things happening to them in GW2 with the way our economy is managed.  If you do not like it, the most simple answer is to stop playing GW2 and go somewhere else.  Because it will continue to happen and you will continue to be upset each and every time.

    I mean, yes. It is a build issue. The issue is that I want to use traits like Vent Exhaust in my build, but even with condi stats, max duration, etc. It is still a dps loss compared to just pressing 1 and walking away from the computer while my autoattack and mech do all the work.

    Build issue? Design issue? yes.

     

    Uh, no.  Auto attacking with Rifle does not do more DPS than actually using a proper setup on Engineer.  You are definitely not playing your Engineer right if you think that is the case.

  9. I think this is the first time I would seriously be okay if a Tuesday update to the game did not occur.  I have played this game for 10 years and I have always enjoyed looking forward to each and every patch presented to us to make the game better.  This is not even meant as a dig at the Dev team.  I just would rather those changes not be published to the live servers.

     

    Today I would prefer they forgot to patch the game.  Am I alone in this?

  10. First time I have logged into the forums in a long time... so that I could add my count.

     

    1/10.  For the balance patch.

     

    Good trolling balance team.  (10/10 score for the troll update though.  Rick Astley would be proud.  *insert Rick Astley meme video here*)  I can only hope someone just wanted to troll us super hard and that this update is not real and today we will not even get an update.

    Please don't roll out this balance patch.

  11. Black Lion weapon CLAIM TICKETS are a good idea. Please do the same with Mount Skins, by making Black Lion mount CLAIM tickets.

    Yes it is all dumb RNG gambling. But at least the Black Lion Weapon system gives us a chance of getting the Weapon Skins we eventually want. Locking Mount Skins behind a stupid completely RNG paywall is beyond rude to your player base.

    Please Arenanet. Use the system you already have in place. Make Mount Skins work the same way Black Lion Weapon Skins currently work.
