Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire

>>386557749
This game is beyond saving. Core gameplay and elements got messed up.
Nobody from original GW team is even there. They are bunch of hacks who copy shit from FFXIV.

No, I only care for human on charr smut

>>386558087
Don't have it but somebody pleas post pic of that tranny who is the lead raid designer for GW2 talking about copying ideas from FFXIV

I want to raid sabetha and get her back piece but after gw2g got canned Ive been unsuccessful in finding people to carry my fat ass

>>386558338
Wasted an hour with pugs trying to kill her;but someone always fucked up at the cannons or during last phase with the flame turrets.

>>386558495
I can't even trust pugs to do vale guardian and he's piss easy. It's always the green circle fags messing it up

the servers have been down for at least 4 hours for me today so if this becomes a regular occurence, it'll be hard

>>386558960
It's not and it seems its affecting other NCSoft games as well like wild*

they're trying to emulate FFXIV but doing it incredibly poorly

>>386559151
I see, well I was lucky, it went out after I finished DS

one a side note, how long do you guys think GW2 will be 'alive', in the sense that GW3 or some shit doesn't come out

>>386558242
>lead raid designer

"Teddy" handles the fucking ACHIEVEMENTS for the raids you mongoloid. It's barely a job.

>>386560289
and from what I've heard, most of the writers got replaced with more seasoned people, so maybe we can expect a better story, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong

>>386559683
>how long do you guys think GW2 will be 'alive'

I honestly think we'll get at least two more expansions after this one so it should be alive for, I'd say 5 more years.

I really think this will and should be the last "Guild Wars" game though. It's the game they wanted to make, we don't need another MMO in that universe and I don't see another GW1-like being made now.

No.

>>386560931
that's fair, it's not like I want another GW, but I just started playing again and don't wanna get BTFO in a year or two because they stop making contet
but GW1 is still alive so there's hope that GW2 will be up for some years even after its last expac I guess

It's still around, but calling it "alive" is a bit disingenuous.

Context: you'll never even see this NPC unless you're looking for him specifically or if you spend your time running around talking to random useless NPCs in a town.

>>386562307
well, you know what I mean
they could've shut the servers down long ago, because I don't think it's generating much money for them

>>386562247
Well GW2 already copied WAR so it's fair

Remember when FFXIV first came out and bombed horrifically because it was developed in a vaccum and the devs specifically mentioned that they didnt look at other MMOs to see what the market was like?

People act like seeing what your competitors do right and what they're weak on is a bad thing.

>>386563391
That's okay, Symon is a girl's name in Tyria. Because girl's can't ever become guys. They can only become mutated freaks that are hanged by the queen for being against nature.

>I work on Guild Wars 2 and I never played Guild Wars 1

Trannies and pet rocks aside, that's honestly the thing that upsets me the most about that image. Why the hell wouldn't you familiarize yourself with a franchise's previous games when you work on something that pulls directly from previous games for lore, characters, and storytelling?

guild wars 2 will forever be the succesor to guild wars 1 which did everything (with the exception of jp's, level design and soundtrack) better.
I play gw2 and i will play the next expansion. its okay, but its still amazing how anet could turn from good gw1 mechanics to the shitpile that is in gw2.

>>386564767

>game that focuses almost entirely on the gem store, survives off whales and struggles to create content because the devs jumped ship

I've been leveling elementalist power/precision and filled out the fire trait lines and am almost done with water since I'd like to be somewhat useful in events, even at 46. Should I have gone air instead for more DPS?

>>386557749
>Second chance

More like 7th, if it happens.

So many times they tried to draw people back in by making "major" changes and "improvements" but they always fall short in so many crucial areas.

But they always get me because I love making builds. Cunts.

>>386557749

I dunno, is the gameplay still gonna be a whopping 5 abilities that are tied to your weapon and are all learned by like level 4?

>masteries fucking suck due to being a horrendous grind for little tangible benefit
>except you need them to progress the story
you need just a few of the masteries for the story. and you complete said masteries with one map meta. thats not grinding.
>professions are still unbalanced for endgame
sure. but you can complete any raid with any class.
>elite specs are wildly overpowered compared to other specs in all game modes outside of a few niche cases
true. but it will be interesting how pof will do it.
>speaking of, endgame is still woefully anemic
its okay. could be more.
>despite the nostalgia bait, LW story still sucks
agree.
>Trahearne has been replaced with the Mary Sue Lesbians and the Deus Ex Machina Gnome, who also serves as the resident Scarlet dicksucker
again LS sucks.
>an entire content type has been abandoned entirely
dungeons? yes that was stupid. but there are still in the game its fun to pug them with newbies
>new armor and weapon skins are almost hilariously non-existent outside of, again, horrific grind
Yes. this is the biggest complain that i have.
>and the new armor skins look like ass, and the new legendaries take literal years to implement for some reason
i like the heavy leg armor. but the armor/weapon style is really not appealing to me.
half of your complains are about pof which isnt released.

>game that focuses almost entirely on the gem store, survives off whales
survive on whales is a good thing. i dont spend any money, and whales pay every few weeks 20€ on bl chests which doesnt get them any advantage over me.
>struggles to create content because the devs jumped ship
2016+2017 are the most productive years for gw2 so far. which is quite interesting because they generate less and less money for anet.

Oh its a completely pointless and they are usually fucking useless but I get something out of creating weird playstyles for classes.

>>386566776
what was the point of replying individually if you're just going to agree with everything

>>386566901
Your image reminds me of this shithead I went to school with who'd throw LAN parties nobody would go to because he just wanted to show people his porn games.

>>386557749
Game is inherently shit at it's core. The only way that GW2 tried to make people want to interact with each other was Events and that got boring really fast after you realize that you are just smashing few abilities over and over and not a single class matters, just zerging shit down every time with no variation or individual player skill.

>>386567472
The same could be said about GW1

>>386567472
Have you played many MMOs?

>>386567601
maybe now with full hero teams but initially you pretty much needed a full team of players every time you wanted to do a mission

>>386566649
Yes there are multiple builds for different gamemodes and not exclusively min-max PvE raid ones.

>>386565879

>>386566776 covered it mostly, but
>Trahearne has been replaced with the Mary Sue Lesbians and the Deus Ex Machina Gnome, who also serves as the resident Scarlet dicksucker

>Mary Sue lesbians
You're grossly mis-using that term, and they're absent for the majority of the recent season. The very minute they get back together, Mesmer Barbie freaks the fuck and bolts.

> Deus Ex Machina Gnome,
Exposition gnome, which works for her role (crippled kid genius). It sucks, yes, we should have had a bigger role in figuring shit out.

>...who also serves as the resident Scarlet dicksucker
I dont think Scarlet has been even mentioned since pre-HoT. I'll grant you the Scarlet dicksucking was annoying (possibly a relic of McCheese's story influence), and it would have been nice to see her get some kind of comeuppance for that (have taimi gush about scarlet in earshot of someone who lost their whole family in Lion's Arch, have her get fucking roasted for two minutes straight because her hero was a monster), but at least they've buried that embarrasing shit as best they could.

>>386565789
>its still amazing how anet could turn from good gw1 mechanics to the shitpile that is in gw2.

They went from CORPG to MMORPG, different genres, you can't keep to same mechanics.
A MMO was what the majority of people asked for and what they wanted to make, that's why they gave us a rushed EotN to be done with GW1 instead of GW: Utopia.

>>386557928
ff14 could take a tip or two from gw2 actually, like jumping puzzles and global events.

Friendly reminder that they tried to do skill acquisition via completing events like in gw1 and it sucked and everyone hated it.

>>386568861

like Tequatl, or like LW1?

>dev appeals to the playerbase not playing their game and ruins it for the fans
This happens way too often.

>Having to grind a horrendous amount of time just to make the new movement feature they sell the expansion on not totally awful

Can't wait to get my mount and have it move at walk speed and also not be able to cross many types of terrain without weeks of grinding. Fun!

Gliding didn't require a horrendous amount of time unless you were going for the last tier.

>>386569673

I got leyline gliding over the course of a year, just playing the game a few times each month. Not that hard really.

I mean lets be honest, the only people who have time to grind are people who just sit around all day, like a bunch of no-life NEETs

>>386557749
While I like the combat a lot; the artstyle is uninspired and some of the dialogue is completely baffling.

I was gong to ask how big your trap collection is and how deep in subfolders did you hide it, but it's obvious at this point that you shift-delete that shit the second you cum. "This is the last time," you say to yourself, but you say that every single time. Do you pitch or catch?

I didn't find the mastery grind all that bad, really. Right at launch it was a fucking slog, but I think they boosted the XP in HoT/LS zones. For the living story shit, you get enough XP and mastery points for the map's ability just by doing the map/quests themselves.

Best part is their raid designer dumps tons of time into FFXIV and is still unable to clear more than the 1st floor of the new raid tier.
