We should get authorities involved, it's not cool for game companies to light their players on fire for others' enjoyment. Ok, by your rationale, because something isn't serious enough for you to care, we aren't allowed to care. Got it. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When addressing the actual situation is too hard then that sure is a "tacitc". But as I said, too obvious, no bonus points, address the situation instead of overblowing it into something it's not. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution to the problem mentioned in the previous posts was already presented, you even quoted it somewhere at the top of this page and didn't bother as much as acknowledging it. Trying to claim anyone is being somehow "brigaded" here is false and a bad attempt at avoiding discussion on-topic after throwing out a tactical hyperbole.

How was he able to farm dungeons for golemancer runes without having golemancer runes? 😅 Maybe its because they got help, or maybe its because OP is exaggerating. Regardless the runes pets were weak as anything other than handy fluff to have around for RP reasons. They weren't tanky enough to survive anything but trash mobs, and the dps increase that they brought was negligible. IF ops roommate really does need exactly one AI unit to to take aggro there are plenty of class based options that provide significantly better options than the rune golem or rock dog were capable of. Elementalist elemental summons, necro minions, mechanist, mesmer illusions, and ranger pets would all provide the same benefit and then some over what the golem gave. OP's roommate even gets a new better rune+relic combo out of it! But honestly most of the complaints about missing runes are way overblown. Are there missing runes? Yes, but we've known that was going to be the case literally since the relic announcement, anet was very clear that they were going to take this opportunity to remove bad options. They've also been clear that they're going to try and bring back every unique option that is currently missing, like the golems and rock dogs, after workshopping them so that they are less of a trap-pick for new/uninformed players. 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting that rune by itself was already "a change of how they play" (and they had to get it without the summon in the first place). There are literally classes with pets which can play the role that player needs them to play and that's somehow not ok all of the sudden? Sure, "just deal with it" is not a solution, which is why what I said was way more specific than that. 4 minutes ago, Alaeacus.9635 said: He/she has a right to complain, and many posts here are implying they don't have that right due to the triviality of the matter.

Palador.2170 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I would like to add that I was really, REALLY looking forward to having an in-combat Rock Dog pet for my Daredevil. Now that he has a rifle to use, it's about the one thing he was missing. But don't worry! I'm sure we have a pet Relic (and a lot of the other missing ones) coming up in the next release or two of this Expantrickle. We'll get the functionality back... as long as we pay for the expansion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMO and removed the lockpicking system so they can cash in on these lion chest keys, shameful... now they ruined my fun and amazing PvE MechGolemancer build so it's useless to play it. back to my Necro or Ranger kitten... ANET get your crap together and develop for the players, not for your EGO or GREED... Wow, so much to unpack here. Okay, A: Heroes, were removed because unlike the more RPG focused instanced areas with a team, GW2 is more MMO. It's literally just part of them having different gameplay mechanics. B: Duo classes and open skills. See above. Literally what was well advertised and explains in depth. GW1 also became harder to balance with the insane skill combinations possible. This is a silly complaint. C : The lockpicks were for generic regional chests, which in GW2 were all unlocked anyway. this has nothing to do with black lion keys, try harder. D : Your summoned golem was a fun add on to the build, and not the lynchpin. Your build is not useless nor ruined, as I ran the exact same setup on my Asura engineer and guess what? Still completely playable and functional in all regards, it's just she doesn't have a golem summon slapping stuff. Your build is not ruined nor useless, stop exaggerating to hell and back. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake.9023 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 they should have released all relics( same 6th rune bonus as before) and available in legendary before removing the current ones, what else they expect all broken builds to do. if its not ready thn dont remove the old one. now were in a state of kitten limbo 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefe.3821 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It feels like they purposely do kitten to ruin their own game. It's real simple. Make the relics exactly like rune they are replacing. Now we're stuck waiting for them to fix their mess which knowing ANET won't happen. 2 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgotten Legend.9281 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 my biggest complaint at launch was the removal of runspeed buff from Fireworks runes (not relics), and moving it to Surging runes. because i had actually bought a about 20 sets of the fireworks runes for characters on 2 accounts. (2 accounts so i can still play with both my WvW guilds during World Restructuring and after), and then had to replace them all with Surging Runes (or Cavalier runes) to regain that +25% running speed for WvW. i'd be really miffed off if they changed it back, now i've already replaced most of them. as for the relics... Meh, they're pretty much all boring now. I hate that most of them are "on elite skill use" 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiEO.8430 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I still don't understand why they split runes into relics. Would have been perfectly fine to leave runes as they are as they solved nothing with this new system. People will still only pick the most powerful relic just like the runes. And to keep power creep down, relics could be disabled in outside-expansion content. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has, sadly, become their way. As for the heroes/henchies. I wish they were still here. They were a fun add on, too. Why, I remember back in the day when my guildies and I kept failing some mission or other, something in Nightfall, I think. We decided to take a lunch break. While everyone else was chowing down, I called upon my trusty heroes/henchies and did the kitten mission. Boom. /e Archie and Edith -- Those were the days. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorem.8104 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 We said so many times in the thread: "Relics are fine and dandy, but only release them when the system is FINISHED" Did Anet listen? Of course not. Why design something to completion when you can half bake it and release it then with many features missing while also forgetting that legendary items exist? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the posts at the time it became evident that they forgot. Though I think after it was pointed out, they agreed to develop a legendary relic sometime in the future as a means to placate a lot of the complaints. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
