Why are you not playing the best MMO on the market?

but i already do, it's called Guild Wras 2 inb4 TOR faggot spamming "hurr its shit"

>>389667794
because i don't like playing with poop

>>389667794
Because no content and GW1 lore being ruined

>>389667794

Fuck off OP, i remember when heart of thorns shills did this, and i won't fall for it again.

>>389667794
Because bad, weightless gameplay and brainless character progression.

>>389669090
HoT wasn't that bad in terms of content it offered, but the maps were fucking awful. Too much like an actual jungle, which made them a nightmare to navigate.

>>389667794
>Warrior is either an inferior Con Ranger or a mightbot.

>>389667794
Why would I play such a shit game?

>Have great end game gearing system, plenty of ways to get the end game gear, all easy
>Introduce a new tier of gear which is just a massive gold sink, only reliable way of getting it is crafting

>Have shitty stat bonus system in WvW which everyone hates
>Get rid of it
>Everyone starts loving WvW, never been more popular.
>Introduce new snowballing stat boost system

>Have dungeons which people play for gold and tokens for gear
>More than half the gold rewards because you're about to introduce a new tier of gold-purchased gear and you want people to buy gold.

>Have like 100 different traits per class
>Only a handful are at all useful
>Don't fix the most useless traits even years after release
>Instead, just introduce a new set of traits exclusive to an expansion which are, for most classes, just better than the base traits.

It's awful, steer clear of this crappy game.

>>389669476
Your forgetting.

>Nerf some of the traits so bad you outright make the class a useless shit.

>>389669476
Ascended gear was introduced because players were moaning for something to grind for. It is also entirely inconsequential unless you plan on doing later tier fractals or raids.

>>389667794
I'm a little tempted in returning. Haven't played since before HoT. I practically lived in WvW though. Are there any games that do a similar game mode?

How's the economy?

>>389670297
Impressive.
It's kind of fascinating how they've been able to combat inflation so drastically even now with everyone hovering around 400-1000g

>>389667794

because I don't have time to play WoW

>>389670283
Probably ESO is the only real option in that regard.

>>389669659
Literally none of the classes are "useless shit". Even if you run every single trait and skill that doesn't work together at all, you can still easily complete all the content there is in the game.

>>389670403
>Everyone hovering around 400-1000g

Y-yeah...

ascended gear was added in 2013 and you niggers are still complaining

>>389670492
Yeah, I figured as much. Shame. I might pick HoT & PoF up then. Debating this or Destiny 2

What else am I gonna do?

>>389672039
if you're going to pick a lightish hair colour, you need to pick a skin tone that complements it, meaning it needs to be on the lighter side too. You can make most colour schemes work as long as you're not trying to dress them up like a clown or something

I'm kind of burned out of GW2 at the moment. Waiting for PoF

You asked me why i don't play WoW and I played it again to check Argus.
You asked me why I don't play FFXIV and I subbed again to check Stormblood.
You asked me why I don't play GW2 and now I'm considering buying the expansions.

What is next? Why do you want me to play all these MMOs? What's your goal? Who are you?

>>389672874
I just want you to have fun, anon.

>>389672320
Axe/axe warrior is good. Axe mainhand was always good on warrior, for years the best build was greatsword then axe/anything. I stopped playing for a long time so not sure when changes were made but offhand axe is insane now, the number 4 skill now gives quickness instead of fury which is very strong then the number 5 whirlwind ability got a big damage buff and attacks way faster.

I'm excited for dagger/dagger though with spellbreaker. If i gave a shit about raids still berserker would still be stronger but for general play spellbreaker seems more than decent. Daggers attack really fast, as good if not even better might stacking than forceful greatsword, stronger self sustain healing, and just all around fun.

B. Tree people lore rape
C. Never played GW1; not invested in franchise
D. Floaty, shit combat
E. Classes I am interested in (engi, thief) are shit
F. Don't know anyone who plays it, incapable of making new friends
G. No real end-game
H. No PvE

I could go on.

I logged abbout 3600 hours into GW1 and around 600 hours in GW2 before I got bored. The Graphics are nice and the it's not a bad world to jump in but the skill tree is what kills me. I Absolutely loved GW1 Skill set up. I liked hunting down new skills with friends that you had to capture off random enemies.

>>389673179
D, E, G and H are objectively false

>>389667794
I like casual games but GW2 is already too casual, there arent any worthwhile goals in the game besides colleting useless or ugly stuff.

I enjoyed spvp as a mesmer a lot but with less time to play Id swap it for other games.

This is a pretty subjective statement in its own right. It is true that GW2 has less oomph to it than some of the more action oriented mmos out there, but it it still leagues ahead of most games on the market.

>Classes I am interested in (engi, thief) are shit
Engineer is literally the most versatile class in the game and can do anything and do it well if you have the chops for playing it well. Thief is the actual fotm class in WvW right now and is also one of the best dps classes in PvE.

I don't play MMOs anymore. Tried GW2, tried Aion. Wildstar. FF XIV.

WoW ruined me for every thing else. And that drug wasn't enough anymore... so I got clean. The ride is over for me.

My friends still play some of those... but I can't join, between other games and real life, and the fact that it all feels so pointless and empty after grinding years in WoW. Literally for years.

The ride is over, lads.

>>389674794
I feel like condi builds in general are lacking in PvP because there's just so much condition removal available to most every class.

Except for D/D thief, of course. They apply so many different conditions and do it constantly by mashing 3 that any amount of removal is going to be insufficient.

I love that entire groups of people are always waiting for those that can't follow quick enough and use portals for those that miss jumps or fall off platforms. That game may have flaws but it still regularly surprises me with its comfiness and nice community outside of PvP/Raids/Fractals.

XIV has some good points to it. GW2 does not, there is a difference. Everything that was good about the base game was utterly destroyed and any identity it had was turned into a shadow of its former self.

I actually bought GW2 during release. I regret those 25€ or whatever it was still to this date. What a shit game.

>>389677978
Maybe you would like to articulate what exactly makes GW2 so bad a game?

>>389677978
wtf are you talking about? how can one person be so biased that they'll call every aspect of a game bad with zero good points to it? How big of a fucking v-drone do you have to be to overlook everything a game has to offer because some Gw1 fans said it was bad due to story and lore. Mechanically this is probably the best MMO on the market for casual gamers but people will say the base game was "the best" when i bet they havent touched the game after 4 years.

>>389678618

You're closer to where I am now then where I was in The Burning Crusade. Eventually, interest will fade.

Quit WoW for a month, or whichever MMO you play, and pick another. Play it for a month.

It won't feel the same.

By the time you return to WoW, or whatever, that won't feel the same either.

Guild may have forgotten or replaced you. Friends may have drifted, if you didn't keep it contact.

It'd be for the best

>>389678792
Which class would that be?

>>389678681
I can't see how honestly, the base game was good but its not like it was ruined after QoL fixes and living story updates. The game only had 1 xpac so far so its not like destroyed its "identity" since all it added was gliding and you still get the same experience in F2P.

>>389678792
There's no advantage to playing just 1 class in GW2 though. Outside of Necro pre-POF pretty much every class has some kind of support and does DPS pretty much on equal levels.

Sometimes you may need to run a specific build if you're doing raiding or PvP, but even then it's not mandatory. Just highsly suggested.

>>389678792
got source for that? I see every class while in big squads, probably the least played is revenant but that still leaves 8 other classes for variety.

>>389681120
Stability is an effect that has stacks. 1 stack of stability 'nullifies' one stack of one of those conditions. If you apply daze twice for instance the first daze will be canceled out by stability. The second application of daze will go through. Assuming you only have 1 stack.

I'm just getting back into this game. Who is the best class for PvP and who is for farming mobs?

>>389681734
Idk if you can really "farm" mobs. Beside Silverwaste you could do fractal 40 which makes just about everybody useful as long as you know your class.

PvP has everything work besides (from my own experience) Warrior and Rev with war getting a new PvP spec from PoF. Just check builds since some things are meant for different roles.

Does it still take an absolute fucking eternity to level to max lvl?

is it worth to open chests with a lvl 54 character instead of a lvl 80?

Just got the game like 5 days ago and so far so good. I want to collect miniatures, but the only way to get most of them is to just open Wardrobe unlocks or buy the 3-packs...

>>389682743
takes me 2-3 days (of about 3-5 hour sessions.) but they also hand out lvl 80 boost every xpac and tomes of knowledges are like rats during the bubonic plague.

>>389682743
That was never the case honestly friendo.
>>389681734
farming is pretty useless in this game outside of engi turret farming but they've been getting aggressively more strict with that shit - but still engi

i just hope the devs read this shit. going from spellbreaker to renegade is like a joke.

tried as a f2p, didn't know what the fuck i was doing for the most part, did a couple of those "hearts" then went into PvP it was pretty fun but I barely leveled from it and too few maps. then noticed there wasn't any open world pvp and saw that WvW needed level 60

dropped

>>389683713
the real problem isn't renegade
it's the fact that revenant's core mechanic is locking down utilities and options, severely limiting choices
that's an easy fix, but i guarantee they're just going to buff shit blindly

Any idea if Deadeye is going to be decent enough to go through PvE? I didn't get a chance to play the stress test and I played Scourge didn't the PvP 'beta'.

From what I understand it looks like a bunch of single target abilities. Also never played Thief either

>>389684145
Maybe? Tough to say at this moment, but i heard people were able to pull off over 30k per shot with deadeye during beta. I tried scourge in the beta and its suppose to be support based like druid was for ranger, but i dont know if it will be of any use for PvE if barrier is overall bad.

>>389684145
overwhelming majority of pve content past a certain point is just close up combat near bosses - in which deadeye loses a lot of his uniqueness
and the meta is also decided basically on this one dude's DPS meter stats

all that being said, they're in a very good spot, should be fun in pve

>should be fun in pve
That's really all I'm looking for. Just didn't want to feel gimped because I couldn't handle trash mobs that efficiently.

>>389684761
From what i heard, devs are going to make some buffs to reaper before PoF to be more power based so that scourge has room for condi, so reaper might be better in the future.

>try revenant and thief elite specs after playing elementalist for years
time to reroll lads

>>389684951
I planned on sticking with power reaper out of spite of not having templates yet. Even throughout all the nerfs I haven't really noticed a huge difference in non raid/fractal PvE.

>>389669476
Ascended is incredibly easy to get now, I have like four sets of arm and ~30 weapons.

Dungeon gold nerf was reversed and fractals are crazy profitable.

Build variety is great and many "useless traits and abilities" have seen buffs.

Who thought that shit was a good idea? I need 10 of those ingredients and at that rate it'll take me a week to make that single piece of armor a month if I make the entire thing.

Honestly sounds like purchase rationalization.
BDO is excessively ugly. Characters look way too plastic and the "sweat" option makes them look like they were freshly vacuum sealed.
The default filters & any the game comes with are way too fucking harsh. The texture work is absolutely abhorrent.

You have to be blind to think BDO looks better than anything. It's unnecessarily punishing on hardware, and lacking any sort of art style whatsoever.

>>389686135
Buy off TP.

because i went to recover my account. it requires that you know your old character name to recover your account... never got it recovered. must buy it again.. nope. that and pvp was weird.

>>389686135
Time-gating them was a bad idea, but you can do fractals too.
Chest pieces and pants take way longer to make, though. Everything else only takes like 3 days, unless you buy the leather squares and damask patches.

>>389686135
buying the ascended material on the market cost about the same as buying all the material for it and waiting a day for 1 piece. Honestly, only wait if you have all the material in your bank or just liquidate your materials to gold then buy the ascended materials.

>playing this casual carebear piece of shit
lmao no thanks

>>389686230
BDO is gorgeous, but the pop in is horrendous and the graphical errors everywhere make my eyes burn.

>>389686297
you don't need to know your character's name
you just need to know enough information that they can verify you're the account holder
so you must have not known the serial code, payment method, date of purchase, payment card info, etc.

I play gw2 sometimes to sell gold. It's very easy to bot and just straight up cheat without getting banned either. I've made a couple hundred $$$s off just playing on and off cheating.

>>389686230
im still kind of amazed at how completely incompetent the devs of BDO are. from a technical standpoint, the game is a complete quagmire of bad practices with zero optimization. i can run witcher 3, which looks MUCH better than bdo, at 60 with zero problems, but BDO runs at 20 fps in cities and i am CONSTANTLY frozen while in motion to load players and such because its code is so fucking ridiculously bad.

you should never HAVE to have an ssd to properly play a game.

that being said, BDO does have good graphics. youre just shit at making characters. also stop playing female characters.

>>389685853
its a type of style, I compare FFXiV to anime-esque, WoW to cartoony and Gw2 to oil painting. BDO is exactly like FFXIV in terms of style and graphics.

The thing I need costs 5 gold each so 50 gold, that's a lot.

>>389686675
each piece of asc should be around 60g. Thats either 2 hours of grinding or 2 weeks of lucky fractal drops.

>>389686675
You said you still have 250 gold, and once you get your AR high enough, you can farm fractals.
I can only do Molten Boss in t2, but that usually gets me about 30 gold an hour. Plus, my Magic Find is only 80%

>>389686756
>2 hours of grinding
what's the go-to route for 30g/hour

>>389686665
You an bot the TP along with teleport/flying everywhere without any risk of getting banned. Quickly teleporting to elder wood nodes can get me around 7g a stack sometimes.

Silverwastes or Fratal 40s

GW2 has the shittiest PvP in any mmo I have ever seen.

Even the "pros" admit there is no skill to it you just mindlessly spam skills.

The funny thing is the spammability of everything means that even with the dodging and blocking GW2 has, the PvP actually takes less skill than GW1 did because at least in GW1 you had a mana pool that made players have to actually think about when to use abilities instead of just "if skill.cooldown = true { function.useskill(); }". Absolute asscancer.

>>389686978
I don't think there is one. If you feel like being lazy, you can do World Bosses. Those usually get me about 15 gold if I do them all in a day.

>>389687082
>Even the "pros" admit there is no skill to it you just mindlessly spam skills.

>>389686978
There's really not a spot you can go without interacting with people in some fashion. Silverwastes 'works' although it's the least efficient at this point. You can just squad up or follow the zerg and do events though.

Should I spent that money on one piece of armor then? Currently I only have 55 Agony resistance and armor pieces only have one infusion slot right? So even then I could only go to the very first t3 fractals.

Also I also still need an infused backpiece. Is there an easy way to get one?

are you sure about that? go to dragons stand, you see them teleporting all over the place. People still do it in wvw all the time too.

theres no content in the gw2 expansion. they are asking $30 for a new living story chapter that is absolute ass.

>>389687234
Everything other than ascended pants and chest pieces is around 50 gold. You'd be better off getting those done first, honestly.
Easiest way to get an ascended back piece is save up fractal relics. Costs around 1800 relics.

To be fair raids weren't introduced at launch of HoT either so we can't be sure they aren't coming, but it's confirmed that there won't be any dungeons? That's kinda lame.

I like GW2 because it's B2P and I just come back for the content updates/expansions.

Did anyone do any bountys during PoF beta? I like the idea, similar to the witcher games and could be good for gold + fun.

I know some of you niggas still play maplestory these days

so do the devs just make the base specs underpowered on purpose so you buy the expansion?

I will never understand this elitist culture in GW2. DPS rankings are so close it shouldn't matter, except chrono dps. There is build variety for every class, except necro. At least DPS ranks aren't like WoW. GW2 has one of the worst PvE communities in an MMO.

>>389690315
HoT had alot of power creep one reason why people dislike it, but specs are what they say they are, specalizations.
So example: Engi is good for overall utility using kits, Scrapper is useful for single target power and AoE support with gyros and Holosmith is (or atleast seems to be) high power / condi damage for PvE.
But what you said is true for ele since tempest is superior in everyway just like daredevil is to thief, warrior to berserker etc, etc.

I recently tried to like it after dropping it on launch for the same reasons, but I don't see anything redeeming about it.

PvE grind is pointless, because of stat softcaps and the fact that you get downscaled. I sure enjoy getting almost killed by a rabbit with ascended and exotic gear. Keeping this in mind, why is there a 80 level grind to begin with? Why are there dungeons even? You can buy the best gear from npcs at level 80 for less money than it would cost to convert a level 40 karma armor. Literally why do levels and gear still exist?

The only fun I remotely can have is sPvP - where gear doesn't even matter, but at least you get to track your pvp rank and wins, with level tomes as a reward. That's some sort of progression. Unfortunately, HoT introduced literal p2w masteries and Path of Fire has the same PvP paywall once again. It's a very heavy meta game that you have to adherre to.

You can have fun though, if you think you are a special snowflake for dressing your character up, or that you somehow think it's cool when you are hopping onto the braindead karma train with your black wings and flashy effects. The seasonal games are fun, but that's about it. The game just feels like it's constricted too much and "exploration" is like crossing out items on your grocery shopping list. Very unnatural gameplay with zero rewards or progression.

>>389690576
Honestly the community is super good and helps out new players, but the elitist stay up in the 100cm daily fractals and Raids. In actuality 15k dps is enough if 6 party members are able to keep that high of dps to get a kill.

>>389690576
>GW2 has one of the worst PvE communities in an MMO.
Honestly you don't see the elitist ideology in the places that aren't high lvl fractals/Raids. The vast majority of PvE is so damn easy that it really doesn't matter like you say. Plus there's typically 20+ people and no other bothers to look.

It's mostly just follow the commander and spam your skills. Hell even in WvW it's like that.

>>389690771
Your opinion is yours, but atleast i can answer a few of the questions you asked.

>Why is there a 80 level grind to begin with
This is so players learn how to play there classes, if anet didnt add any levels and you started with just masterys, then people would be running around as daredevils with 2 shortbows equipped.

>Why are there dungeons even?
They use to be an extremely good gold grind, but the devs eventually stomped out the meta to promote fractals, they are still played but not as frequently and they almost insantly level up your character plus a level.

>you can buy the best gear from npcs at level 80 for less money than it would cost to convert a level 40 karma armor.
I honestly dont understand this one, you can buy armor cheap for karma from npcs in places like Orr but you cant "convert" armor.

People enjoy the game for the differences it makes to the normal MMO formal of the traditional "Holy trinity + Gear treadmill = forever content" and promotes exploration and fun rather then waiting for dungeons like I was doing during WoW to level up. Gameplay is different so its not pure tab targeting and promotes skill shots, similar to Mobas in a way or battlerite, I typed alot of shit and your opinion wont change but others will hopefully see this and understand things about the game thats not told very well ingame.

>>389690576
only raids really promote that culture and even then, once the raids been out for a while and you can start picking up randoms who instantly know what to do, nobody cares. i think GW2's strongest quality is how casual it is, theres no real pressure to keep climbing the ladder.

>>389690771
This guy gets it.

>>389691789
>They use to be an extremely good gold grind, but the devs eventually stomped out the meta to promote fractals, they are still played but not as frequently and they almost insantly level up your character plus a level.

You probably aren't on the latest news, but Dungeons pay out the same as they used to back in the day. Arenanet changed this. Doesn't change the fact that I can easily just level any alt to max level within a minute or the fact that dungeon gear is worthless. Even if someone wanted dungeon gear, you can just get it faster through sPvP or even EotS.

>I honestly dont understand this one, you can buy armor cheap for karma from npcs in places like Orr but you cant "convert" armor.

You can convert Karma to Gold through the forge, look it up, that's my baseline of how much karma is worth versus gold. The point is, why should a newbie pay a massive amount of Karma for rares (or god forbid pay 20 g per piece or 10g from the AH) as their only gearing option in PvE, when there's the Mistwalker exotic set that you get for a measly 88 silver a pop? What's the educational value here?

>>389691789
>>389692794
Forgot to include this to the first part;

What's the point of doing dungeons for the gold? The best you can buy are infusions - which are exclusively required for progression in fractals, but outside of fractals, why? Buying legendary skins? What for? You're going to lose any 1 vs 2 in an arena where you can't escape and a legendary skin isn't going to save you.

I'm really curious what value you think gold has to you in GW2.

Dungeon rewards was reverted back, fractals still more profitable with chance of ascended gear drops.
