Grizzled Patriarch posted:sPvP is honestly pretty fun *if* you can avoid getting tilted by how incomprehensibly dumb most of your teammates will be. People that haven't learned the basic map mechanics after 10 years, people going AFK the second your team is down by 5 points, people changing their spec before a match and then forgetting to equip weapons that they can actually use... ime it's not hard to have fun in spvp playing mirage because it's really hard for players that aren't coordinated to pin you down and prevent you from carrying a bad team on your back

scrapper is pretty fun, will pve builds change much with the proposed upcoming changes or will that mostly affect wvw?

Luggage posted:Most changes of the upcoming patch will affect all modes of play. The ones that don't specifically say "in PvP/WvW". So for example the change to gyros will affect PvE as well. Kinetic Accelerators creating might and fury instead of quickness is in competitive modes only. i know they'll get most of the changes in all modes, what i'm asking is what impact those changes will have if any on the builds people are using in pve

i got surprised early on there with how hard the vines hit in melee but after starting to dodge that more often i havent had too many problems it's definitely the point where you want some form of sustain in your build though

Mango Polo posted:I booted the game after... I guess I stopped playing a few months after launch. I got bombarded by gifts and dyes and decided to make a mesmer to start fresh again. i did it recently and it was fine. having the most cohesive build you can manage at your level/hero points can make a big difference. sword is good for power shatter, staff is good for condition damage, etc.

there's a lot of easily soloable HPs in the PoF maps once you have the three basic mounts, you'll probably get pretty deep into your elite just picking them up on the side as you do the story

over time you come to learn the problem enemies and how to deal with them. i.e. the snipers are overtuned but that just makes it really funny to reflect their bullshit back at them

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:#1 QoL update I'd like to see would be having a singular dedicated rune slot instead of slotting them into armor+breather, just add a way to combine 6 runes into a single one. it's a pretty blatant case of design not being accommodated by the execution (the full set effects are too good and the midpoint bonuses when they even exist are too bad for hybridizing to work at all)

honestly core story is pretty forgettable and I didn't get much more out of it than if I had read a plot summary. the order mentors have more personality than like anyone else in core but that's like the only positive takeaway I had. the writing quality jump from core to LW1 was massive.

HampHamp posted:I've been playing this for a few months now, and man I'm so conflicted about some of the design choices. On the whole I love it, it's super fun to explore, the classes all seem fun to play, environment design is often fantastic. gw2 definitely could use an engine overhaul, a lot of its good aspects are in spite of real shaky foundations. probably way too late into its life cycle for this to happen rather than a sequel game

the great thing about GW2 is that there's always something to do you're not caught up on. the terrible thing about GW2 is that there's always something to do you're not caught up on.

it took a bit of practice to get better at surviving things like champions on vindicator, i had to break out of the habit of just using every jump on cooldown and instead keep one stocked in the back pocket for avoiding big hits. it can be down to the wire sometimes but that makes it pretty fun.

there is no holy trinity but by the combination of player expectations and build design there's a loose bimodal distribution of DPS/Support that hinges on so small a number of factors (mainly buff distribution) that overarching party roles and responsibilities are extremely uniform and "optimal" builds are very constrained. the details of how a build plays moment-to-moment can still be fun but it doesn't always feel great when your role is boiled down to providing quickness, alacrity, or both

really sad about scrapper it can still distribute quickness ok kind of but doing so is exponentially more stressful and you take a hit subbing in throw mine to replace nades if you want to make it a little more comfortable. you pretty much have to use hammer 3 on CD for the double finisher and it's got a really long animation lock that fucks with your ability to keep in motion for mechanics
