[Poll: Do you have more or less fun in the game because of relics?]

i hope they add better relics in the future b/c the base ones are all...how shall i say...super underwhelming?

meh.

[How the new daily system in Wizards Vault reduced my enjoyment of GW2 [Merged]]

tried to do yesterday's daily and could not b/c the mini dungeon has been broken for years: i spent several hours hopping instances trying but no dice. at least in the old system, i could pick some thing else to complete the daily if one of them is broken but not any more. 😞

[They ruined the game]

hmm, after further play, it's not so bad.

lots more reward choices is nice. 😄

[The Mounts are terrible]

i agree with many others, GW2 has the best implementation of mounts in any game i have ever played.

[why are people hating on the patch?]

"Spectacular Sphere: This trait now also increases the radius of Deploy Jade Sphere from 240 to 360 in all game modes. In PvE only, it causes Deploy Jade Sphere in air attunement to additionally provide quickness and reduces all outgoing damage dealt by 10%"

stuff like this is why. what other profession gets a -10% reduced damage for choosing a trait? only catalyst, apparently? a change like this doesn't make much sense to me at all. but i digress, as an ele main since vanilla beta, i kind of expect to be nerfed every patch now.  😞

[Game Update Notes Preview: Profession Skills]

uh, are these patch notes a joke? please tell me they are. :S

[What will EoD be remembered for?]

hot: gliding changed how i approached and played the game.

pof: mounts changed how i approached and played the game.

eod: hasn't changed a thing. all these features like skiff, fishing, turtle, and jade bot could be removed and it wouldn't matter to me one bit. now take away gliding or mounts? heck no!

i really hope the next expansion brings innovation like the first two did b/c this one sure didn't.

😞

[Who ok'd the dungeon currency/item decision?]

i finally had enough to buy monk runes for 2 support builds today after all these years.

thanks anet!

[Very Off-Topic but How Many of You Are From Ancient MMOs?]

first mmo i played hardcore was Mankind. it was like starcraft but on a massive scale. other than maybe eve, it is the largest game world i have seen to date even still.  

 

i also played pre-CU swg heavily, both live and the emu. it's my most played mmo and #1 on my favorite list. i pray one day for someone to take up the mantle and make another game that unique but with a shiny new modern engine. to bad soe ruined it with NGE, what a disaster. sigh.

[ANet. Will you please hire some new armor designers.]

well, at least GW2 armor designs are a 1000x better than say...new worlds cosmetics. man are they ugly.

[ANet. Will you please hire some new armor designers.]

i wish i could hide all armor pieces rather than a few. then again, at least half the player base would run around in their underwear (i know i would) so that will never happen. lol.

[Catalyst Feedback Thread]

while the buffs were nice, the rotation for this elite is still insanely hard. i mean why couldn't there be a 1/5 skill floor build for ele instead of another 4/5 like catalyst. heck, i find playing condi weaver way easier and that's saying something imo.

[[Discussion] Catalyst Update 15.03.2022 [Merged]]

some say mesmer is bad but then i play my infinite horizon staff or axe/torch-pistol mirage and even after the nerf to torment runes, i still can solo pretty much anything in open world that i wouldn't even dare attempt on my ele. so i really don't get why people say mesmer is so terrible, to me, it's not. hah.

[Mechanist is currently destroying the game. Please consider adjusting it ASAP.]

being able to do 8k dps on a trailblazer heal build feels just a little bit strange. but idk. lol.

funny some people are like, omg catalyst is fine! yet when i play OW, i never see anyone actually playing it: all the eles (including me) are still playing weaver or tempest. meanwhile, i see tons of the other eod elites being used but not catalyst. gee, i wonder why? 😞

It’s not like it’s all that difficult or expensive to craft them. They’re also fairly cheap on the TP. 

44g per character to me isn't cheap at all.

no, that's pretty expensive to a lot of people.

Its harsh to say but most ele Problems are l2p problems

why l2p when you can literally press one button on other profs and do 20k dps while afk.

GL doing that much dps on an ele with this amount of 'effort'. the balancing in this game is just all over the place tbh.

It's not necessarily a lack of player skill, it's also the visual pollution that Anet keeps adding with every new boss encounter. There's so much different coloured AoEs on the ground, a lot of which overlap, and some of which are beneficial - either from the encounter or from player support - it's kitten difficult to see sometimes where to stand. Add to that boss or other NPCs cluttering up the space, plus 50 players standing in various places, there is too much visual pollution. If it could be a simple as: green is good, white is neutral, and red is bad, that would help a lot

Also there is the fact that the engine can cull ground effects when there is large amounts of players in the area so they become totally invisible. i can't count how many times i been downed by ground aoe that gets culled. it's kinda hard to avoid this stuff when it doesn't even show on my screen, ya know.

[Catalyst Feedback Thread]

all i know is...catalyst just sucks to play.

[Catalyst Feedback Thread]

you know another thing that bothers me? it's the fact that if you use any other weapon set for cata, ability 3 isn't carried over: much of this elite's power comes from it. yet with weaver, there is dual attacks for all weapons and it's the same for tempest with over load.. but with cata, elite defining abilities like 3 is no where to be found outside of hammer. so either this is an over sight, lack of development time, and or just pure laziness i really can't say.

[What is considered proper "etiquette" for downed players during a map Meta?]

i res anyone i can but if it's to dangerous, it's probably best to WP and come back tbh. i know i do.

willybender

it's funny (and a bit sad) that one button press on my willybender does as much dps as at least 3 on my ele. all that work for less payout is kinda depressing tbh.

[[Discussion] Catalyst Update 15.03.2022 [Merged]]

i dunno if this has changed but it seems that staff cata is now more dps than hammer?

so i guess the only thing to do at this point is to....nerf staff more!
