[Official build templates.]

@Anchoku.8142 said:How many gems are you willing to pay for each build template slot?

In GW1 is unlimited free.Why would we have to pay anything for something that it's code saved on a notepad?

Because GW2.

[Which build is right for a noob like me?]

Metabattle has a pretty strong bias towards high individual DPS. Always take their builds with a grain of salt. Good for finding starting points, but you need to adjust them to your own playstyle.

If you want to be able to support more, then yeah, Diviner's would be a great route to go for gear.

[Scepter?]

Scepter's great in PVE if you need a ranged condi weapon. The only reason it doesn't usually beat out staff is because staff is a super mobile weapon that has a higher impact on survivability than scepter provides DPS.

[What is your opinion about Jormag's gender?]

Look... there are times when the gender of a character matters. This, though? This is not one of those times.

[the truth about underwater content.]

Underwater stuff is always just a gimmick. It's fine for a while, but nobody really wants that much of it.

[More Characters need to Die! -- How to make GW2 writing better.]

Braham needs to go. Such an unredeemably obnoxious character.

[-300 vit on holo instead of scrapper]

Neither. It's stupid and a completely uninteresting "tradeoff".

@kharmin.7683 said:Curious: if any of you were a game manager, and read through this thread (and the several others like it), would you then -- honestly -- ask your developers to step into them?

Nobody is asking for that.

[Does anyone use plaguedoctor??]

I've seen some support Scourges go Plaguedoctor, but I don't know how effective it is.

@ProtoGunner.4953 said:You tell all kitten. It would be awesome and you know it. It was awesome in Burning Crusade as well.

No we don't. That's why nobody but you is saying it. And having played WoW for a long time, no it wasn't. It cheapened all the content.

[Anet back in Silent Mode]

I've been playing MMOs for 20 years now. This communication issue comes up again and again. The MMOs that succeed? They have Dev teams that have good communication with their players. The ones that don't do this find their playerbases getting restless and unhappy. Restless and unhappy players stop playing.

[[Suggestions]QoL (Quality of Life) Ideas [Merged]]

Your game is giving me actual headaches. Please let us turn off other people's skyscales. The constant flapping in the corners of my vision is adversely affecting my health.

[Reaper Soul Eater Healing]

Just stop, Obtena. You're not as much of an expert on all things as you think you are.

[Thanks]

My engi, which used to be my main, is now a mule. I won't touch it.

[Scrapper is All Wrong.]

#1 change needs to remove the -300 Vitality hit you get just for playing Scrapper. Stupidest change they could have ever made.

[I don't know how to build and play my characters any more]

@"NorthernRedStar.3054" said:The way I've seen it, necromancers will find ways to complain about their "lack of tankiness" no matter what Anet does.

So you don't actually listen. You've made up your mind.

[Upcoming Engineer Balance Changes]

Welp, that -300 vitatlity is probably the biggest slap in the face. Scrapper is completely dead.

[Upcoming Balance Notes]

Wow. So you really did it. You put out this horribad patch. Congratulations?

[Hi I'm new!]

Hi New I'm dad.

[More Frequent Balance Updates]

I'd love if a game dev company could actually, you know, admit their mistakes? Roll back changes if they don't end up working as intended? That would be far more valuable than more frequent updates.

But Anet isn't going to be that company, so...

@Karl McLain.5604 said:> These abilities have a few unique aspects to them. We're looking forward to seeing the builds and gameplay that you come up with!

I'm sorry but if this comes off as blunt but this right here shows how out of touch you are with the player base, and frankly I find it rather insulting as a long time player to be viewed as some kind of twisted entertainment for this team. Between here and Reddit there are hundreds of people posting how they are sick and tired of reworking their characters to suit every kitten and bull idea that gets tossed at us, without any interaction whatsoever. Having to spend countless hours reworking gear and spending gold hand over fist because someone decides it would be great fun to mix things up. I swear it just seems like you work in your own little world with no regard to your own player base, it's been a horrible trend that seriously needs to come to an end. You want a whole new design then pour that effort into creating new elites, templates or classes and stop tormenting people who just want to log in and enjoy the characters they've worked very hard at perfecting over a long period of time and let them enjoy playing what they love.

Are you against improvements or change? Because it sounds like you just hate change. And that's not a healthy way to think.

It's not about being against change. It's about being against BAD change. Change without rhyme or reason is bad change.

[Another Patch, Another Nerf Necromancers.]

@Tobias.8632 said:ESO has necromancers now and the devs treat them much better then GW2's devs do, abandon ship

Yeah. I've got a couple amazon gift cards. Been thinking of moving to ESO. I'm pretty much done with GW2, Anet and their inability to actually think through what they're doing.

[New Core Necro balance notes next week]

Guess I'm rolling something else.

[Leveling advices]

Condi is actually pretty good for necros for leveling. We have a strong set in Scepter/Dagger, plus the tools to spread conditions around with our utilities. Necro's one of the few exceptions to the "Don't level as condi" rule.

[Post your Necro's]

My new necro.
