Every time I get enough experience on a build I enjoy, it's obliterated by an update. I'm tired of "profession changes" treadmill, at this point I'd take gear treadmill over it. I can't play group content with classes that follow aesthetics I like because they're not wanted in groups due to performing worse than other classes, which makes me feel like I'm dragging others down by wanting to play what I like. I feel like I'm forced to change my way of playing every 3 months. Game updates feel like they're just changing things for the sake of it to give players something to do, under the guise of "balance update" with no real sense of direciton. React.

Botting sellls accounts, spam doesn't.

I logged in and got a bunch of notifications. Clicked on it to see what it's about. Wished again for a way to put achievement popups on ignore. Logged off because there's no real content to do, just another checklists.

$100 is a hard sell for a 10 year old game when other 10 year old games on steam go for $2.99, idk what were they thinking back on topic, there hasn't been any announced sales so it's safe to assume we're not getting any. Here's a $25 mount skin for your 10 year "celebration", and a checklist quest with a bunch of run-of-the-mill boring armor skins we already have 5000 of in the game. Lame.

I was expecting expansion and gem discounts all over but I guess arenanet thinks they're immune to the product lifecycle curve just because they sell digital items /shrug I guess I'll build another ebike this month instead.

Just give me a toggle to display profession specific garbage, me/party/everyone. There's absolutely no reason to see ranger pets, necro minions, mech mechs, virtuoso daggers, catalyst orbs, engi turrets etc. in pve. Yeah, I get it, it's nice flair, but we're at the point where it's getting oppressive so it needs an optional display limit. Hell, could even do that for pvp modes, we already have settings that turn others into nameplates only.

You heard em Nothing to nerf here Mechanist Wars 2 here we GOOO Press 1 and go afk easy game GG WP ROFLMAO Funniest part is that I predicted this exact outcome 3 months ago XDDD

Oh hey, look who was right OMEGALUL insert "I saw 14,000,605 futures" meme THREE MONTHS AGO Looking back it's funny how my style of posting has changed too since clearly I cba to give constructive feedback anymore LULW

Hardcore players have moved on. It's not prestigious anymore so I think it's fine to allow everyone to 111 it now.

But then how would they show increased EnGaGeMeNt mEtRiCs to their higher-ups? Seriously, this sucks. At least put the harder mechanic closer to the beginning of the fight so I don't have to sleep through the first 8 minutes every time. Also: it's obvious they don't playtest these on the target difficulty level from the fact that every single strike so far has had some mechanics and achievements "leak" into normal mode. So much for "designing the hard version first", that lie lasted 2 weeks.

It's quite easy to guess what happened. Anet saw all the people swiping their credit card to get gen3 legendaries and realized they can milk more by making " won’t have to worry about spending tons of resources" into a grind. I'm sure they'll address this issue right after they fix legendary armor effects to match what they promised on stream :) By the way, this forum is amazing. Imagine having a post editor where arrow keys work. Nah XD

The latter

Focus pull is fine. Go complain about GS 5 on necro instead of necro-ing this thread. sprays cats with garden hose

this thread

Bandit champs are outdated seasonal filler content designed for 50 people fights with some of the most annoying mechanics in the game (cripple spam, condi spam, visual spam, unblockable lifesteal, instagibs). And since they come from the LWS3 age, which was when anet thought every mob should be a HP sponge vet with 15k attacks (cough Bloodstone Fen cough Lake Doric cough), it's obvious people attempting them in 2022 will get rekt. Fighting bad design is hard.

Right now when I want to go to character select, I have to press escape, log out, character select. How about a keybind instead? You know, so we don't have to play pixel hunting trying to avoid that "exit to desktop" button.

Hallucinations (the large walking ones with black AoE of instant death) are invisible half of the time. Highlights from today include: Whole squad getting insta wiped out of nowhere , 1s later hallucination spawns on the corpses Me seeing 1 hallucination, moving away to not get steamrolled, at the same moment a 2nd one renders on top of me and I die Valve fix pls

Okay, I get it now. His VA changes depending on the instance. SNEAKY. But y tho

fyi: cleared it 3 times, you can stop typing your hot take ☑️ Overlapping AoE spam ☑️ Black fields of instant death on black background ☑️ Add spam so you can't even see the boss' nameplate ☑️ Gravity pull that has no counterplay other than "hold W" ☑️ 12 different kinds of melee hate Current flavor of content be like

I knew Ankka CM was going to be a clownfiesta with the absolute garbo arena design that we have going on in that map (seriously, what's up with DARK? Can we have less DARK?), but it somehow managed to turn out worse than I expected. Can't wait for HT CM where black coloured mob models 10x the size of your character cover the entire arena so you can't see when to jump/dodge (it's already an issue in the last phase on normal)

Why would you pip down in 2022 lmao and yeah anet's "afk detection" is garbage, as seen by botters botting everywhere

Then maybe stop capturing mouse to primary monitor when the window isn't focused??? Because mother of dog, it's annoying as HECK Also maybe stop playing sound when the window isn't focused??? (yes, I'm aware of "mute gw2 when in background", it doesn't work.) Or how about let me minimize the game with windows + m and have it stay minimized??? instead of the game popping up every time I switch windows in front of it? Is respecting system UX patterns really so much to ask for?

>New World The game that got destroyed by 20 different dupe exploits and 40 combat exploits in the first month? XD >anticheat Yeah, I sure as hell want to run blackbox kernelmode spyware because serverside checks are so 2004. Get a grip. Besides, anet already has a history of trying to ship spyware with the client and failing spectacularly.
