Finally got the issue sorted with the GW2 patcher and can finally install / update / play again! :toot: I was curious what has changed in the past 6-9 months in regards to new runes / sigils and skill / trait balances, but I suspect it hasn't been much.

The very top of the OP has a link to a history of game updates which will answer your question should want to read all that! It's far too much to be summarized here.

Just bought HoT and came back after a 1ish year hiatus. I've been playing the game using a controller today and it's surprisingly not awful. I wouldn't PvP with it but it's fine for kicking back and doing PvE content. :v:

Are you using the Steam Controller? If so can you share your config? I tried a couple and none of them seemed fluid enough for me. I similarly wanted to just kick back and do some PvE farming and junk on my TV.

How do you share configs? I have f1-f4 used by the gyro and it's goddamn great. Swing my controller around to shatter.

HoT on release was a lackluster disappointment. It's been improved gradually since then.

I've grown to appreciate most of HoT, especially after some of the map reward rebalancing.

I even enjoy the majority of the mobs now, even itzel shadowleapers. Still not a fan of mushrooms (gently caress chargers, and why must mushrooms in some areas explode after death while others of the same name do not) and the incredibly long aggro range on the mounted mordrem mobs and the pretty much everything ever about mordrem devastators, but overall fighting stuff in HoT maps is a lot more engaging and fun than most parts of the game. I really enjoy the non-stop stabbing and dodging action of working down a chak tunnel on my D/D thief. The increased mob density in HoT maps makes them really nice for just chilling to music and killing things nonstop.

I like some of the HoT systems and improvements those have received, and the old stuff that was changed as well (Fractals etc.).

Still hate the HoT zones, enemies and story though, so I'm mostly waiting - new expansion should be out in time to compete with Star Citizen's release.

If a hundred-ish bucks I've spent on bank tabs are worth it (they are) then 50 bucks for gliding seems like a steal.

I spend a stupid amount on this game as well. I still don't recommend HoT at $50.
