Dick Spacious CPA posted:i heard they were going to shut the servers down tomorrow because the game was dead c/d? Confirmed. All the posts in this thread about how the game is the most active it's been since launch are just the fevered dreams of madmen. Kudos to those who were able to read the truth on mmo fan sites and didn't stoop to looking for themselves to find out. Ah mmo players.

I can't find a set of heavy boots to match the rest of my outfit, pretty sure games dead.

I poked around last night for the first time in months, the UI changes for traits etc seems clunky as poo poo, not sure why they changed it but in all it looks like they're heading things in the right direction again. Can't wait to try some WvW tonight but I will probably be completely lost with the massive changes there. Do we still have decent commanders on Maguuma?

Does completing a story mode dungeon unlock that pvp track account wide? Actually, does story mode work like that in general? The wiki isn't super clear and I'm not sure I've ever done one.

The death knell of the game was when they took away our personalities. First they came for the personalities.

All the wubwubing I've done recently has been k-training with Tyr and Nacho. They both kind of live up to the spazzy mumble commander stereotype, but they're both really effective commanders at field engagements. I've only really seen the zerg wipe when massively outnumbered.

You say that like it's funny but I was there. God those guys are creepy. Anyone know if there are cone hats? I have a witch's hat and that's pretty cone-like but I am going for the dunce look.

Yeah, too bad I'm too busy to take advantage of this as per usual. I did manage to get every blue and green dye, and gave my bro some cash to do the same.

Monomythian posted:Anything that's not a precursor is vendor trash. That's a bit extreme but I understand your point. It ties back to the fact that the vast majority of loot feels like nothing but whatever it's value is in gold. Which in turn ties back to a design decision in this game to allow players to "just play however they want". Not that I am against such an idea. It's just that Anet's approach to accomplishing that goal was to normalize loot a lot more than what we are used to. This solution has the unfortunate side effect of making the list of goals that a player makes for themselves feel too similar in the sense that too many boil down to a gold grind and in very rare cases a karma grind.

I think he was poking fun at his wealth more so than he was whining about the existential meaning of the loot that ferocious buttcows drop when you shoot them with fire.

 FALSE ALARM, GAME NOT DEAD When I logged in last night I saw literally 2 other people at Vigil Keep. Guess I logged in right after a hotfix since it restarted my client and downloaded something when I zoned. Anyway, I see lots of people now.

Diablo 3 is getting boring, so I'm thinking about reinstalling GW2 and giving it a go again. What kind of direction have they been pulling this game in lately? Is it still all esports and temporary content, or have they finally given up on that garbage? Has Anet come up with a reason for me to play anything other than a Warrior or Guardian in PvE?Illuyankas posted:I didn't speak up, because I don't have a personalit- wait gently caress Oh hey what's up Illu

I appreciate them trying to make the dead zones less dead with the megaserver stuff and all, but do they have plans on addressing the reason these zones are dead in the first place? i.e. nothing worthwhile to do after zone completion
