  1. Yes the person that has it made clearly understands my worries. So you'll take me into a dungeon with some off brand, slapped together, "I found this to be fun" build or will you look at it and go "This is wrong redo it"? Because my experience has always been the second one in this game. And you have. That nothing has changed from launch. The game or the community apparently.
  2. Maybe because I've played games that sell themselves on "OH look at how many options you have" and then you get to the end of the game it's "Congrats. Did you pick one of 5 meta flavors? No. Too bad so sad, restart again". And while I didn't see end game last time, I saw the Community group think for dungeons. Not even late dungeons, the first dungeon I gained access too. "Full power or get out". So excuse me if I don't want to waste time to get to max level and told "Nope. Restart.". What could happen? No I'm pretty certain it will happen. Go on, see if a Warrior that isn't Banner focused is allowed at end game. I want a fun class on the climb up to 80 and one that's hopefully flexible enough to at least let me TRY end game. How is this hard to get across? No wait, the game and community isn't set up that way, you have to follow a guide from level 1. "27 classes" someone above said but you'll only actually play 5 of them because the community demands you too. I want to play a healer, guess what Druid Ranger is shoved at me even if I don't like it. I want to play Warrior, Banners are shoved at me, no question about what I would LIKE to play just "Oh Warrior. Well here's your banner build". But hey. You do you. Keep telling people to enjoy the game up till the point you tell them what to play because it's the meta thing to play. Oh they don't like it? Too bad. Thanks for the info in this thread. This isn't the game for me at launch(only picked it up as all my friends did and they quickly put it down, hmm wonder why) and it's still not. Go back. That's what I'm doing.
  3. No I want to get to the table and find out what 'foods' I like but what's more than likely going to happen is that "Hey go back and dress up properly to sit at this table". Meaning I could have fun playing whatever but the end game(or community) tells me "No restart, your fun isn't going to work here". So what am I to take from this? That the game doesn't actually count until 80? That to have fun I need all the expansions right now? That I need to instantly be thinking about what to build because that's how the game is designed? And that one needs a Meta build to actually enjoy the game(regardless of how toxic that is) If so, thanks. I do realize now this game isn't for me. I'd prefer to play a game that lets me build and play with a "This works for me" than "Hey this works for everyone so why aren't you doing it you baddie?" . I'd like to play the game, not consult with a spread sheet but the game and community seem to expect that from players. Could have just lead with "This game isn't for you" and saved some time though.
  4. Because I don't want to get to that point, level up and gear up and do all that work, and get told "No you can't do this your build is going to ruin everything, get out you're wasting your and our time". Do I want to do that content? I'm unsure, I've never tried it. But to be turned away from the word go the moment I get there is a a worry. Yes I would prefer a profession that's fun on the way there but if I'm instantly stonewalled into having to restart for a 'proper' build to do any of the end game at all, I'll ask what's the point of end game anyway? Like do I like warrior? I mean I did, I haven't kept up with the patch notes so I'm unsure how they do but they've always been the low end it seems, always "Play banner or get out". I don't want to be instantly locked out of content because of what I've played. Serious raider? No but I'd like to at least stick my head in to see how it compares to other games. Sure I have fun with Whatever Warrior I make but then I get to max level and told "Nope, this game isn't for you, go restart" where's the fun to be had then? And don't tell me this doesn't happen or won't. I recall back in a year of launch it was "Full Power" meta or so, and even for dungeons it was "Full power or get out" from what I saw. Were they correct? Maybe, I tried one dungeon, only one, and we couldn't clear cause it was a mix of 'non meta builds'. But it took me so long to actually get a group to do a dungeon in the first place that I don't know if Dungeons are FUN for me. Is Warrior fun to me? I'd have to play it again to figure that out. But if I'm required to play an unfun style just to actually get to TRY end game stuff, what's the point?
  5. Two people brought this up; I mean, if the trip up to level 80 isn't fun, why does it suddenly become fun when the difficulty and expatiation is ramped up? I'm not going to play all that time in a class that isn't fun to suddenly be told "Oh it's fun now if you know what you're doing with this high end build that you surely followed to the letter". I want a Profession that's fun to play for the trip not the ending grind that I'm probably not going to stick around for.
  6. Thinking of coming back to this for a bit. Other MMOs are starting to get stale. But here comes the problem. What the heck to play? This was something I never really settled on when I first played when it first came out. I tried a few classes but always found the leveling to be kinda 'eh'? I never really found it fun on most professions. Nerco was kinda dead around launch on it's abilities, and Warrior was fun just charging in and bashing things but also found out what I was destined for (Hello Banner slave). I eventually settled on Engineer which was fun with it's guns but I can't recall most abilities that I found fun other than the nade/bomb kit and that was mostly for WvW(Though I got it to level 60, wait I had a level 60 character?) Now I'm weird. I'm not good at playing MMOs on a keyboard but at the same time don't want a profession that just kinda plays itself. And then there's the question of "What do you want to do?". I honestly don't know. I know nothing about Dungeons and Raids, Fractals is something entirely new that I don't recall. And I'm not skilled enough with the controlls to be little more than part of the Zerg when it comes to PVP. Ideas on what to play or maybe Guild Wars 2 just isn't for me.
