I struggle with decision paralysis. Today it's whether to focus my attention on Necro or Engi for the time being. I do like both of them a lot though I just am far too lazy to keep leveling characters at this point, and I'll probably have to make a final decision soon because video game brainworms It would be nice if you could play around with elite specs from the off, like how wow does (did?) it. The experience from Core is so different from a lot of Elite specs it's hardly a good indication I'll even still like the guy at 80 Anyway sorry I'm rambling about nonsense

This festival I managed to get my first ever super rare drop from the zephyrite boxes after spending around 80k research notes on thousands of boxes.

Also I'm pretty sure you can mess around with elite specs in sPvP and unlock the hero points for them in PvE by doing WvW. Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Aug 12, 2023 |

Oh I didn't know that, I haven't been in WvW in about 10 years. Since before they split pve/pvp

I play Necro so much that jumping in to WvW as most other classes is a stark reminder that I'm not actually good at the game.

I have no idea why but i jumped into wvw today on my scourge. Got about 200 bags and only was 2 bags for the other sides. Thats like so unheard of, normally im the first downed (and i remember why i did wvw, the pve dailies sucked balls.)

I never do the more tedious pve dailies and feel bad for people who have to do stuff like "do 4 events in this zone where everyone else is trying to snipe events", it's just much faster to visit wvw for a couple minutes and snipe a supply dolyak or claim land or buy something for honor marks and for pvp use a stockpile of pvp reward potions for daily pvp rewards when you don't want to touch that awful mode.

wvw is such a great mode and i wish it got more dev attention, but i'm also one of the weirdos who doesn't mind the "new" wvw map too much

I've come around on desert borderlands, the navigation map could be better but once you learn how it works it's a nice change. I will also say that I'm not sure more dev attention to wubs would help. The new rewards stuff is a step in the right direction, and at least didn't make anything worse.

Maybe WvW is good if you have a mount to get around on, but jesus christ it's tedious on foot.

Everyone should get Warclaw by default, for sure. Locking away mobility for new players who are already likely to fall behind is dumb.

The warclaw was a mistake to add, especially gating it behind a long timegate. It's surprising that in 10 years of the game they only added a desert borderlands map and there are still 2 alpine maps, you'd think they would of just made a jungle or cantha themed borderland, but they probably would of felt like they couldn't just give it a new look with the same layout and would of had to "desert borderlands" it with weird gimmicks and confusing map paths that half the players dislike. I'd like it if they remembered the forgotten content of edge of the mists and made it more relevant again.

instead of having to grind up a warclaw everyone should get a free siege turtle. every deathball should be a bale of slowly advancing decked out turtles

Honestly if they revisited the latter half of IBS to make it less... terrible I don't think anyone would complain.

Well, people would complain, they spent a year re-releasing the cut content of season 1 and in that timeframe the game was rather stagnate and nothing got added to EoD for a year and ended abruptly in gyala, so if they spent a year reworking IBS they would complain nothing actually new was added. The solution is to do better the first time around.

Well they didn't do that so the actual solution would probably be something like low priority revamps. I still think reintroducing LS1 was worth it because so much of the later content reference it yet newcomers couldn't play it for years, but it definitely shouldn't have stopped new EoD content coming out for an entire year

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:The warclaw was a mistake to add, especially gating it behind a long timegate. Yeah seriously, at this point the warclaw should be unlocked for everyone by just spending 1-5 points on it rather than having to do the the dumb collect-ation, and not having a third borderlands does make it seem pretty glaring as abandoned content.

Warclaw at least slightly alleviates the classic WvW issue of running...... very...... slowly....... to........ the.............. objective and then immediately dying and having to run back. Again.

It's still just absolutely stupid that you have to complete the full reward track and everything for having the privilege of keeping up with other people. And no, the perk that pulses out move speed to others is not a solution, as it hardly ever works as intended so you can still be left in the dust.

Yeah, that always bugged me. With the upcoming expansion now offering a skyscale to new players, why not throw in an easy to acquire warclaw, too? It would be a great way to breathe life back into WvW. The mount system is so amazing, it needs to be front and center as a highlight “hook” to entice new/existing folks to play. And they end up buying gem store mount skins, so Anet still profits.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/discover-the-wonders-within-the-wizards-vault-in-guild-wars-2-secrets-of-the-obscure They're replacing the daily rewards system. It's basically a (better) version of WOW's new Trading Post system and removes some FOMO by putting the older rewards in a legacy shop where you can still purchase them for points (but more than they were when it was that month).

Rifts are boring but effective, as long as they're not overtuned shitslogs that can easily be found to keep the dopamine pump going. My biggest concern though - - what the gently caress is up with her hand.

I haven't pre-ordered, since august-september is so chock full of games I want to play already. At this point I still feel that I do want to play, though, but I've seen open world so much I have to see what it's like now and how much of a grind PVE legendary armor will be. With EoD, Elden Ring took hold for me so when I finally got into the campaign, everyone had already ran through and maybe it was another factor on why it felt bad for me.
