Spent all night in newbie zones helping out new players and handing out gifts. Didn't see a single nasty person, no bigoted speech and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Guild Wars 2 remains fantastic.

CODChimera posted:i'm so far behind. i haven't done any of the latest expansion and i still have some of that "return to.." stuff left to finish A word of advice: Return To is 1,000% worth it. You get tons of mats and an extremely good prize at the end. Just do a little bit each day. It'll go quicker than you might think but burning out is possible if you don't pace yourself.

Yeah I wonder how fast it will go now that no one has to wait for segments to unlock. I started about half-way through and caught up in just a couple weeks of very casual play.

explosivo posted:I've been having fun with this so I bought all the expansions because I hate feeling like I'm missing out on good content, lol. I am back on my necro, I don't even think I finished whatever there was to do in vanilla but I figured just picking up at the start of Heart of Thorns isn't a bad idea? It truly is an overwhelming amount of stuff being thrown at me so really trying to focus on A Thing to keep myself busy with while I reacquaint myself with the game again. I think the story is good enough that you should do it in order. Now that you can get the raptor early, there's no reason to jump ahead. HoT can be a hassle but it's worth exploring. jokes posted:Starting a new character(s) is really fun but now I'm caught up between what class I'd like to play. Warrior is solid and fun, but it'd be kinda cool to have some magic that isn't this: have you heard the good word about our Lord and savior Revenant???

Mohawk Potato posted:So I’m loving greatsword Mesmer and sword pistol Mesmer are those good or am I setting myself up for future disappointments? Also cooking discovery decently fun as I try to hunt down new ingredients. Mesmer doesn't really have any bad weapons, thankfully. Scepter/Pistol might flow better. Sword/Torch can be a lot of fun. Just try everything out and play what you want.

I dropped FF14 because it relies so heavily on rote rotations. It made playing even flashy classes boring. GW2 I like because your auto attack often does great damage and then your other skills are brought in situationally. Nothing is more boring to me than having to memorize a string of numbers. That's not a game, that's homework.

Yeah I'm not gonna stick around with any game where my face has to be glued to a cooldown bar. If they insist on that level of complexity but don't allow macros, they can go gently caress themselves. Additional complexity is not good design and does not actually reward skill. Making it so that people have to read the battles and respond appropriately is skill-based design that lots of MMOs don't do. It's not rewarding, imo, to memorize a "perfect" rotation for optimal DPS and only do that until the death of the universe.

CODChimera posted:oh my god I just saw the plush griffon skin in the store. how worth it is that? You're not going to have access to a griffon for a good while but yeah that skin is exquisite. Birthday dyes: Get whatever you think looks best. And/or choose the most expensive ones. That way if you end up buying higher-end dyes, you will have some of them already unlocked. Speaking of, I now have Bubblegum and Limescale. Lonk, I'm coming for you

jokes posted:Be sure to consider that default mount skins aren't really dyeable (as in, they don't really change much based on what dye you pick) and that pretty much other mount skin will be fully dyeable, so it's worth it to get at least one non-default skin for every mount so you can at least dye them. I don't really agree with this. Though the base models benefit more from high contrast dyes like the enameled line or vintage silver, you can still get a lot of good looks from them. Raptor is probably the worst, though.

^^^ Yeah, I use Skyscale almost exclusively. Roller Beetle if I want speed and Raptor for farting around. I never touch the Springer or Jackal anymore, which sucks since I have a bunch of excellent Jackal skins. jokes posted:I'm saying you can't really fully color them. At best, for the defaults, it's a very slight accent compared to most of the skins where you can turn them full-on bright orange if you want. Oh, duh, right. I was not awake. Using the plush griffin with the brightest pinks and whites makes me king of the skies.

I already had one skin for each mount that I loved so the choice was kinda hard. No Skyscale beats the cyber laser one, no griffin beats plush or cockatiel. So I got the Shiba jackal since it is so gosh dang cute.

Guildenstern Mother posted:I took a long break so this is actually going to be my first mount skin, are there multiple dye channels? I'm probably not going to gem store one unless I start playing a lot more, but at the same time I don't want to gently caress up my pick. Are there any that aren't super dyeable (raptor specifically)? All the purchasable ones are more stable than the base versions. I think they all have 4 channels, though. A trick you can do is dye your base mount, keep that window open and preview a mount skin. It will apply your dyes to that skin and you can see if it shows up well.

Felt like I was neglecting the griffon so I took it to a tall place and launched off getting maximum speed. It really is a goddamn fighter jet. The Skyscale is sluggish by comparison, even though it's more useful. Skyscale is a workhorse, Griffon is a luxury toy.

BadLlama posted:HoT seems like the most populated content (As in players running around doing stuff) then everything else? Is it actually the most popular or is there some trickery with how the map populations work? HoT has the "benefit" of being fairly cramped so there's not a lot of people zooming around large open areas. Therefore the population is naturally more condensed into active zones. The metas have always attracted regular groups and HP trains still happen.

Luggage posted:It's got something to do with certain Sylvari - mostly first born - following their 'wyld hunt' (i.e. pretentious way to say 'destiny'). It's the sole purpose of their existence and seems to be assigney by avatar tree lady. After they have fulfilled their 'wyld hunt', Sylvari are basically ready for the compost pile. Which is interesting because that means according to the core story Sylvari player characters have been doing bonus laps ever since they defeated Zhaitan. Sylvari can have multiple Wyld Hunts. It's not something they must do but a calling they hear during their first Dreaming. They are not required to follow it, if they don't want. Caithe has had two so far.

Rifle Mechanist is absolutely going to get nerfed in the future. It's way too easy and powerful for them to ignore it. Thankfully Engineer is maybe the most versatile class. Barrier Scrapper remains very powerful and sought after for stuff like raids.

Ort posted:I can’t get into rev sadly. I don’t like how your utilities and weapon skills all use the same resource, it creates this annoying friction between the two. I also don’t love weapon swapping so the profession with “weapon swapping extra” as their mechanic just isn’t for me. They have rad animations though. I play base Rev with dual swords and never leave Shiro. YMMV but you don't have to swap weapons or legends.

Yeah I'm in the ascended tier now and it certainly is nice but I wasn't struggling to exotics. While Legendary is the ultimate convenience, Ascended affords you a certain amount of breathing room. I used to be intimidated by crafting pink items but once I got in to the groove, it really wasn't that bad. Just a couple things to make each day and a fair chunk of gold to spend. Nice thing is that once you're kitted out, you can keep making components and sell them for a decent lump of gold.
