Raids. Am I right?

>>388462223
STOP TAKING RAIDS SO SERIOUSLY REEEEEE

>>388462223
What is the appeal of Raids, anyway? They're like fractals/dungeons that take ten times the amount of time to go through.

>>388463891
everquest/wow babbies want them for some reason

What spec are you looking forward to?

For me it's Spellbreaker,

>>388464165
tempest probably

>>388464165
None of them, honestly. I was going to say Firebrand, but tomes are clunky as shit and have awful cooldowns. I'll probably just stick with Scrapper Engi.

Enjoy getting your ass whooped by Holosmith's and Deadeyes.

>tfw no ascended armor because I refuse to craft in this game

I thought I could play however I wanted. Fucking Jews.

>>388463891
Retards want non MMO content in their MMOs for some reason.

>>388464442
Yes, Anet is awful. But it's so easy to ignore all the terrible cosmetic choices, and I alt-tab out of any mandatory story segments to spare myself of the anti-schadenfreude the story induces.

>>388463891
I don't know either, I've done the raids to death and I'd rather get new fractals like 99 and 100cm that I can clear in 30 minutes over new raids, which are quite a commitment in comparison, even when you clear them easily.

>>388464165

Soulbeast. I've wanted a petless ranger since the day the game released. My ranger fantasy is an expert Marksman wilderness survival expert and throwing weapons master. The pet just gets in the way.

>>388464606
You can get full ascended without crafting.
But if you don't do fractals, then nvm

>>388464449
Spellbreakers can deal with holosmith super easily, they literally kill themselves by trying to melee you.

>>388464745

I've been doing fractals every night for hours for the last two weeks and I haven't gotten a single piece of ascended armor. It's getting to the point where I can't get any further without more attunement slots. I have two in each ring and two in my weapon with 7-9 agony resist in each. It's like 40 AR but I can't get much deeper than that.

>>388465192
Attune your rings for three slots. Slap some +10 infusions in each slot and you can go comfortably into early expert level.

can a redditor tell me if anet has said how they are going to handle permission sets for non-content features? like being able to use guild hall services. will it be enough to own PoF (and not HoT) or will your guild have to take a PoF guild hall?

>>388463891
I'd say it's the coordination and challenge required. Also raids are the easiest way to get ascended armor+good money. The first time you clear all wings you get close to 200g.

>>388465408

I don't know how to attune to 3 slots. I hate how crucial, necessary information in this game is completely lost to people unless they do extensive wiki research.

>>388464658
Four years of this doesn't make it go away. The fact that Destiny Orphan running around doesn't make it right.

>>388463891
Muh meaningful PvE content.

>>388464165
Deadeye and Deadeye only.

>>388464950

I'm actually angry with you for posting such an unfunny stupid video.

>>388465192
Relying on drops alone won't get you far, just craft your stuff then you'll be swimming in loot boxes once you can run T4 comfortably.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Attuned_equipment
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infused_equipment
how retarded are you?

>>388465192
Honestly like I see no reason to go for ascended armor anyways unless you're going the pvp/wvw -> legendary route
Just go straight for legendary armor for that sexy stat swapping.

>>388465584
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Attuned_equipment
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infused_equipment
Basically infusion + attunement = 3
A lot of this game is pretty much hidden away from an overwhelming majority of players unless they know where to look or have someone help. It's fucked, I'm sure a lot of complaints wouldn't exist if anet was clear about shit.

>>388465808
how about now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOKNX8OgbWs

>>388466053
You do realise that older (5 years) mmorpg games like this have so much important, not so obvious stuff that there's just no way to brief a player about it all without constantly popping hint windows? Play the game.

>>388466347
I do realize. I would rather they be hint windows than /wiki what the fuck does a break bar do

>>388465994

>Collecting all the shards globs and vials of mist essense

That doesn't sound like fun at all. Agony is such a stupid system, it just exists as padding. Literally an artificial roadblock to having fun, I can't just beat a mission and go on to the next if I am skilled enough and learn what to do and how to play it. I have to beat a mission then redo it forty times until the game allows me to get past the needless roadblock that adds fuck all to the game other than a time and money sink. If I get to the point where I legit can't go any further unless I play hundreds of gold for infusions of have to grind the same fractals for weeks for globs of bullshit then I'll just stop playing.

>80 rev, mesmer, ranger
>working on necro, guardian, 1 free slot
>still cant decide on a main class

I want to like ranger but fuck druid isnt nearly as fun to play as I was hoping since there isnt a dedicated trinity.

What are y'alls mains? How did you decide to stick to a class?

>>388466649
elementalist ya dumb fuck

Chances of Anet adding more playable races in the future? Second expansion by now with no new races, only 1 new class (not including specializations) thus far with even less content now than the first expansion. Would love to see more races around other than human, bigger human, grass human, mickey mouse, and nightmare furry.

>>388466649
I play all 9 classes I honestly can't fathom maining in this game. I'll always be trash anyways. Well I also spend most time in pvp so maining does nothing for me.

>>388466843
>Tengu will never be a playable race

>>388466053

I never intend to get any legendary equipment. If it involves crafting/grinding for actual months then I'll just happily play something else. I already got my money's worth out of GW2 and my character already looks as awesome as possible with just exotic armor and my ascended weapon. If I get roadblocked that hard I'll quit.

If I can earn a legendary through something fun like raids or collections or some accomplishment I'll do it. The moment the game becomes "do this thing you just did 700 more times" then I'm out.

>>388466843
Probably won't give a fuck by then with all the other MMOs to play.

>>388466589
I did all fractals till t2 and had relics to infuse both my rings
Too bad I find fractals boring and only play wvw now

>>388466649
Guardian and mesmer. They just click. Both have been nerfed to ground and buffed back up so many times that I've lost count. Just play what's fun and commit.

>>388466843
Exceptionally slim.
Would require either personal story reworking, UI reworking, or both depending on how ambitious they want to be w/ the new race. It's possible, don't get me wrong, but the likelihood of them doing so when it won't bring them money is abysmal.
Specializations are how they want to add "classes" in the traditional MMO sense.

>>388466914
http://dulfy.net/2016/06/17/gw2-legendary-armor-collection-crafting-guide/
Here you go, it can be quite the journey.

>>388466956

I'd probably have all the globs and vials and shit by now but I've most likely been selling them as I went along since I didn't know what they are for. The idea of regrinding all the fractals is something I'm simply not willing to do. I can probably get by for a while by just buying/collecting stronger agony infusions, maybe by then I'll have enough globs and shit to get a third slot on one of my rings.

I did get my first ascended weapon last night so my two new slots should keep me going for a while for now.

>>388466932
Who won't give a fuck? Anet? Or us? I just started playing "seriously" again after not really playing since launch and I'm having a blast, so I certainly won't be looking towards other MMOs any time soon if that's what you're implying.

>>388461902
No need for this thread just fuck off to /vg/ with your general that is so pathetic it's the only one taken over by a bot

>>388467218
How would it require a personal story rework? Don't all races have their own racial story before blending into the main one? How would a new race's story be any different? Just writing them into the game and pretending they were there the whole time isn't that hard to accept, especially because the story is so shit anyway so nobody would care. And I don't see how the UI would need to be changed at all to fit in a new race. Race changes to the new race would bring them money, and the new race(s) being a selling point to a new expansion would also help. It's really not that unfeasible to do.

>>388467234
+9 infusions are like 8g each, slap them on your trinkets that dont even need to be attuned or infused and you can get till the begining of t3
Idk how you people complain about grinding for gold, I join some lake doric leather farm or sw and can do 25g at least a hour, more if you farm frac 40

>>388467218

>crafting

No. I like my games to be games, not homework or a part time job. As soon as I spent hundreds of gold to get my weaponsmithing to 250 and I still couldn't make a single useful weapon I decided fuck crafting. I'm never doing it again, its so god damn useless and unintuitive.

Why they thought it was fun to have a crafting profession be useless up until the point where its level 450 I'll never know. Level 250 and I can't make a weapon stronger than something I could buy on the trading post for 1 gold. Fuck crafting. I got cooking to like 300 on my warrior too. It was just as much of an expensive, obnoxious headache that required following a guide on google like I was building a fucking shed. I can buy all the food I need on the trading post and it's cheap as shit. Crafting adds nothing to this game but a time/money sink to pad out the game, it isn't fun. Kind of like agony.

>>388467589
Ignore that guy. The real reason we are not getting a new race is because crafting all the armor sets to fit a completely new race is too big of a job.

That's also the reason we are getting outfits instead of armors with individual armor pieces. Making sure all the pieces don't clip with other armor pieces from different sets on all the races takes too much manpower.

>>388467821
>I spent hundreds of gold to get my weaponsmithing to 250
????
http://gw2crafts.net/weaponcraft_fast.html you need 44g to get to 400 dumb nigger

Is there any new healing spec or is druid still the only option?

>>388467934
Shame that's honestly the way it is too. So many opportunities to put great work into this game like new armor models in each expac but because of how much work it is we don't get as much content that we can actually get.

>>388467821
just use gw2crafts m8
i agree that it's boring though but after maxing the ones i need i have never thought about it since

>>388467589
I mean the game already cuts a lot of corners, adding a new race and then going 'they were there the entire time' is pretty fucked up m8
UI would need to be changed depending on how different the race is, norns already break a lot of shit due to sheer size
Race changes = UI rework so the personal story section of characters dont matter
They already sell expacs without new races so you'd have to make an argument that a new race = even more sales which is probably true desu

>>388467997
some people like to lvl shit without using guides, but hundreds for 250 is still pretty unbelievable

>>388468078
tempest

>>388467997

That may be true now but it certainly wasn't true when I was crafting years ago. I had followed the best guide I found online absolutely step by step and I had exp boosters on the entire time. Regardless, I refuse to do it out of principal at this point. It isn't fun and has no place being something that is literally required for you to do. It should be a side thing for people that like and enjoy that sort of thing. If I get to a point where the game tells me "do this shit or we roadblock you" then I'll just uninstall the game for a few years again. For now I'm having fun ignoring crafting. My character looks plenty cool to me and I don't feel the need to do all that bullshit just for a legendary that I probably don't need. In fact, when/if I do get ascended armor I'll probably just reskin it so my character doesn't look any different than he does now. I'm perfectly satisfied with my guy right now.

Do raids require AR? Can I learn to do raids without a guild?

>>388467821
Crafting is a relic from vanilla, when you weren't spoonfed new gear with each level.

>>388468078
Firebrand will probably output some nice heals but otherwise druid/ele will probably remain dominant. Maybe scourge will find a healthy support position though.

>>388468240
I don't see how it's fucked up when I said almost every single person would be fine with that explaination. And I'm not too sure you know what UI means if you claim things need to be changed depending on the size of the race.

>>388468516
No raids don't require AR. There are sometimes training raids being organized by nice individuals but getting into a pug as a complete beginner without even ascended armor is gonna be difficult. Join a guild.

>>388468516
>Do raids require AR?
nope
>Can I learn to do raids without a guild?
you could probably join some newbie friendly pug squad, I dont raid so im not sure how frequent those are

>>388468516
>Do raids require AR? Can I learn to do raids without a guild?
No and Yes, there are plenty of LFG in the raid tab, at least in EU.

>>388468516
>Do raids require AR?
No.

>Can I learn to do raids without a guild?
Yes, but I doubt it'll be a good experience.

>>388468793
They wouldn't be fine with the explanation, I mean look at balth's reveal that was quite the shitstorm. People will probably get over it though.
And I'm not sure you're actually following. You do realize we have 2 preview screens - wardrobe/dye previews, and one in the gemstore. Implementing a bigger (or smaller) race would = UI changes so they work within those screens.

>>388469124
Scaling the race within the window itself would solve any of those problems.

>>388465584
theres a command where you can type /wiki into chat then shift+left click an item and it brings you to a page automatically

>>388465830
Damn, why dont you open those and liquidate them for a chance at the salvaged excellence?

>the only competitive PvP mode is point capture
>Conquest isnt supported by the devs and you cant play it in ranked
>Deathmatch is custom mode only
>still no fun modes like Capture the Flag

Why is this allowed? Point capture is the worst game mode possible, not even escorting a payload is worse

>>388468668
crafted max stat gear is spaced out every 15 levels and it always costed more than dropped loot from TP. crafting never served an actual purpose
