Harrow posted:Revenant is more fun than I remember it being in the BWEs. I'm suddenly regretting not saving enough tomes to shoot this dude straight to 80. I only had enough supplies to get mine to 30 but it's definitely great fun. I wasn't initially interested in the class based on concept alone but drat all the weapons are pretty drat fun. I especially love staff, even if it doesn't do much in the way of damage I just can't give up the style points of all that spinning.

Mercurius posted:Schpyder's point is that in those 30 minutes you could've done the ~7 or so easily soloable points in Verdant Brink and gotten 70 HP. I see. Maybe it's my luck but I always got crushed in the new HPs but that was pre-patch.

I made a Revenant because Rylock is one, that is all. Well and maybe because bards are best.

I sure do love spending 1 1/2 hours in Dragon's Stand so the game can crash right before the boss dies!

I especially enjoy how crashing means you get jack poo poo, whereas failing the event still gives you a decent reward. You can't even get back into the map to do any of the post-event stuff!

Guild Hall stuff is buggy, hopefully since Gilded Hollow is small and basically one level you'll have better luck a second time.

Visidan posted:Guild Hall stuff is buggy, hopefully since Gilded Hollow is small and basically one level you'll have better luck a second time. On no, we succeeded the first time. But in perfect goon fashion we were screwed before we even began, because the new build came up right before we started. While the instance everyone was in stayed up, guild functions were disabled from the start. And nobody realized this.

I've been feeling weirdly fatigued playing Heart of Thorns, and now I realize why. Remember that one annoying vista in Dredgehaunt Cliffs? The one in a dredge mine, on a high suspended walkway that requires an unintuitive path to reach and is loaded up with angry dredge with launch attacks prepared to shove you off the edge? It feels like the majority of Heart of Thorns content is like this. I don't mind having increased difficulty with enemies and navigation, but the increased difficulty doesn't let up. Areas that are simple to navigate are rare. One of my greatest joys in GW2 vanilla was map exploration, but in Heart of Thorns it just feels exhausting. Sometimes it feels like I'm going in circles in an attempt to figure out where basic points of interest markers are. The worst offender is Tangled Depths, where there's layers of navigation puzzles upon navigation puzzles obfuscating basic map events. I think they overdid the map complexity.

Tangled Depths is a lot easier when you realize the entire map is just a five pointed start with a center point. Also nuhoch burrows help a ton.

Yeah, I don't disagree with all this, also I don't like big zergy map events so I haven't spent really any time at all in the new zones. Also they really went full Anet with "everything must have its own unique currency that doesn't go in the bank or wallet."

HoT maps are way better than others at encouraging you to split up groups instead of mass blobbing, and nearly everything goes into wallets and the collection bank just fine. But there's no new dungeon content so gently caress it, organizing 5 people maybe isn't an epic massively multiplayer experience but it's more fun. Hopefully raids aren't poorly tuned garbage.

Verdant Brink is legitimately a pain and I'm only just getting used to it (although it's better with updrafts and bouncy mushrooms) but Auric Basin and Tangled Depths are pretty simple. Just get the WP in the centre of the map and then you can exit the centre area to whichever part of the map you're trying to get to. I haven't been into Dragon's Stand yet so I can't say anything about that but AB and TD aren't bad at all once you figure that out.

Adhesive Gamin posted:HoT maps are way better than others at encouraging you to split up groups instead of mass blobbing, and nearly everything goes into wallets and the collection bank just fine. In VB at least there's still a ton of mass blobbing—plenty of rally points occupied by Mordrem on the map while 50 people mill around the central pact encampment. One of those points is surrounded by frogs though and it's absolute hell and I don't blame anyone for not bothering to take and hold it.

Dragon's stand has a start point that divides into 3 lanes and that is the entire map. All waypoints are discovered by default, but are locked until the meta progresses far enough down the lane(s).

Mizuti posted:I've been feeling weirdly fatigued playing Heart of Thorns, and now I realize why. To add to this - I find the waypoints very spread out, not that it really matters, because (in VB at least) all but one or two are almost always contested it seems. The new maps look great and have a lot interesting characteristics, but they're such a chore that I've barely spent time in them. Getting around vanilla maps is nice and fun (typically), but if I'm trying to, say, do events in VB, the odds of me getting anywhere quickly and alive are pretty slim. It just feels like another bullet point in "the expansion design forgot what vanilla design was about" whine that I'm trying not to harp on, heh.

This is the little jump puzzle cave in the Wayfarer Foothills Any idea why shadowed areas are now glowing beacons? This also randomly occurs in Vermintide and I have no idea what the cause is. As soon as I leave that cave the other parts of the map are normal.

Yeah I've completely avoided the new zones because of this, and am levelling a new character instead. I play GW2 to chill and listen to podcasts, frantically looking for the next waypoint and avoiding mobs doesn't really allow that.

Come to think of it, a lot of the negative feedback you gave from the very early beta still applies today. I wonder if Heart of Thorn's difficult navigation can or will be changed at this point.

Tamayachi posted:This is the little jump puzzle cave in the Wayfarer Foothills This is the Tears of Itlaocol puzzle in Wychmire Swamp in Caledon Forest. The lighting appears to be broken in several puzzles around the world. I submitted a bug report, but I haven't gone back to check if they fixed it. With it looking like this, it's impossible to actually complete the puzzle. e. Heart of Thorns navigation is tricky, but I like it. Gliding, Updrafts and Nuhoch Wallows make things a lot easier. I do agree that simply exploring can get exhausting because very few mobs or groups of mobs will allow you to simply run through (I loaded up on stealth on my mesmer just for that reason), but I also kind of like that . Makes it feel as dangerous as it is and ups the stakes. It would be nice to have a few more WPs be generally uncontested, though. cyclical fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Oct 31, 2015 |
