I think WoW doing Molten Core for the 10th anniversary was hilarious, everyone was running it and everyone hated what a loving unfun slog it was. It actually shut up a few of the "WELL IT WAS BETTER BACK THEN" folks in my guild.

Molten Core where half the bosses are the same character model and the other half are just larger versions of random mobs in the world.

First coil was pretty lazy too, with an upscaled mob, a recolor of the previous turn's miniboss, a fight with no boss where every enemy was borrowed from FF13, and then Twintania. I wouldn't be surprised if the first raid of other MMOs are also similarly filled with recycled assets, just because of the sheer number you have to make for initial release.

TOR's mostly wasn't, if you don't count models only used once or twice in the entire game previously. Eternity Vault was a pretty unique raid. It was the second raid, Karagga's Palace, that got lazier.

Funny thing about his sword: it's hyped up to be this massively powerful super magical sword, but sylvari players can and indeed are required to use it in one quest depending on their branching story choices. And it's godawful and borderline useless and makes the quest much harder than it should be because you're stuck with this piece of crap.

I bypassed it by playing an engineer so whipped out the flamethrower instead.

Yeah, now it's just an ascended weapon that can change forms based on what you want. It can be a sword, great sword, scepter, dagger, or shield, and you can swap it at an NPC. It's actually a pretty rad quest to get it, too. Sadly that kind of thing is pretty rare in GW2.

The fight design in both games are different.

Just move to five man parties in 5.0. Create a new role called 'support'. Do what Rift did and make some of the classes into support as a second role. Make Bard 70-80 support focused with healing songs; do the same for Scholar but with a dps emphasis for example. Now you have room for things like alchemist and blue mage. The new party composition is now one tank, two and a half DPS, one and a half healers.

I've got a sudden hankering to take another look at BLM after work. How did they turn out in Stormblood? The only thing I know is Enochian being tied to AF/UI uptime, I don't know anything about what abilities they got.

This is a sensitive topic for me and many other players in this game so let's please try to be civil. I'm asking the player base, most of it, to please stop hanging out in Kugane and flooding the shout chat with memes and harassment. Kugane represents a rich culture that is important to some of us and it should be respected. It is an end game hub designed for people like me, people who identify as otaku who have a deep appreciation for Japan, and want to honor it in game.

Please go take your toxicity to Rhalgr's Reach and leave us alone. Kugane is what we've always wanted - a true place for anime and manga fans to live our dream. Its a safe haven for real fans of Japanese culture and art. Not a place to spam donald trump memes and talk about sex.

Please respect Kugane and just leave it. Do not take this from us. Do not ruin the beauty and majesty, and history that Yoshida-san has given us. It is deeply upsetting to me, and many other true fans of Japanese art, architecture, and history. Thank you.

Losing Raging Strikes and the crit nerf hurt the huge numbers somewhat but I've gotten 22k direct crit fouls at i293 or so, maybe like 16k Fire IV direct crits.

I ground out 98 tokens since I always lost the roll during farming (when I got an actually good party and RNG was kind). Bird dropped on my 99th run. Nobody even cared to have it.
