Why the fuck is everyone talking about an expansion?
I'd rather them just keep releasing new zones through LW than make a new expansion. What could they even add at this point that would be worthy of an expansion?

>>174523342
A second specialization for each class
A new class
New masteries and/or a new gimmick altogether
Much bigger zones than the tiny farmvilles that the recent zones have been
Mounts

>>174523563
You're never ever getting mounts.

>>174523563
>A second specialization for each class
>A new class

>New masteries and/or a new gimmick altogether

>Much bigger zones than the tiny farmvilles
On this, we can agree. I wouldn't mind bigger maps, but I still say they could do that in a patch.

What if the next expansion was already contained in the patch

>>174525503
There has already been plenty of things datamined from the upcoming expansion.

>>174524365
>What could they even ad at this point?
There has been shit leaked already, like spellslinger for warrior = dag/dag.

Also, doing all that shit in a patch = no ez money, and that's what NC soft wants ASAP.

>>174524365
>What could they even add at this point?
Ritualists, Paragons, Dervishes or something entirely new like the Revenant was. Get some imagination, lad.

As for specializations, some info regarding those has already been datamined.

>>174527147
Ritualist and Paragon can be elite specs. Not sure if Dervish could though. Dervish or Monk could be their own new class.

>>174527421
>A class with a currently non-existing weapon type could be a specialization

>>174507880
I really only use mine for the synthesizer nodes and the 24 hour buffs. Most of them only cost like 50g each. Of course the buffs are HoT and I'm not sure about the synthesizer nodes. For guild missions you should set them to PvE, you get less favor per mission but you're more likely to get soloable ones.

>>174526868
such as?

>>174528041
A couple of elites were leaked. Shaman datamined an elite spec icon (looks like two daggers, fits the spellslinger leak another user had).

>>174527958
PUGs are cancer. I only do fractals with classes that can solo bosses because of how bad it is. People can buy 150AR and join a 100 without having done a single fractal.

EPISODE 5
TRAILER
WHEN

>>174529593
_____________________never
>implying Anet can show something meaningful in a trailer

>>174528970
The wiki page has the drop rates, do math.

Looking back, scarlet wasn't actually that bad. The way the system led up to her demise was actually pretty sweet. What bogged down that path was actually destiny's edge 0.5.
Still, the game has yet to have a really good humanoid villain. The dragon chases are nice, but I want some grand conspiracy that involves more than Laz up in this bitch.

>>174530731
I suppose that's fair, but the Toxic Alliance was when Anet really jumped the shark with the Scarlet storyline. The stuff before that was okay-ish.

>>174523563
>Mounts

tfw no mcharr bf to mount

>>174527478

How is that an issue? Also there have been items added into the game files that are weapons with the type "polearm". Even though polearms are not throwing weapons, that didn't stop Anet from making ranged greatswords and axes.

>>174530731
>destiny's edge 0.5.

The correct term is Destiny's Abortion.

>>174508682
Cuties!

>>174530731
>>174531571
I didn't mind .5 that much and I still don't really. My main issue with scarlet aside from moment to moment writing was all these shitty alliances she magically made work, and new groups of poorly thought out antagonists she kept throwing at us. molten alliance, toxic alliance, aetherblades, all organized by this one mary sue who despite being insane can apparently make any group work together just to give us a new villain of the week. We didn't need a new villain of the week, we're supposed to be killing fucking dragons not this loser. Tower of nightmares and attack on LA were at least fun, but ugh.

>>174532987
>aetherblades

I really wanted the Aetherblades to be a reoccurring villain group. They could have been episodic villains that just show up every now and then, maybe for a LS episode here, then maybe LITERALLY FLY/TELEPORT AWAY, then a year later they show up again, then maybe a couple months later.

Molten Alliance was the only alliance that made sense on its own, as the Flame Legion are slavers, and the Dredge are chronically inclined to become slaves due to their own behaviours. Making them subservient to Scarlet was just immersion breaking af. Toxic Alliance was just dildos from the get go.

Im starting to build up a collection of assumingly useless bunch of ascended rings.

What is the best use for them? Which ones to keep for other classes/builds?

>>174533386
TA also marked the point where Anet really showed their hand with their ideas. In that they had none.

>>174532945
no

>>174532987
> who despite being insane can apparently make any group work together
In the exact same way taimi magically has all the answers despite being a piece of shit, and yet you tolerate DE0.5. rly mak u tink!

>>174533386
Yeah, I actually like the idea of sky pirates and shit too, but by slapping all those villain of the months together they didn't have room to do anything interesting with any of them, including aetherblades. S'shame.

>>174533547
Keep any you can't buy from the fractal vendor for a measly 10 predestines, salvage others for matrixes that sell okay.

>>174533603
I'd argue that an asura doing science shit makes more sense than a scientist silvari acting as a diplomat, but she is getting to be a little much. A knock down drag out brawl between two elder dragons sounds rad at least.

Actually speaking of, what has she actually had all the answers for besides that? I legit don't remember.

>>174533901
>predestines
pristines. fug

>>174533547
Salvage. You can get a blood ruby ring, which is stat changable, and you get get a winterberry ring, which is stat selectable, in around 40 minutes. The old rings are pointless.

>>174533901
There's no reason to like either Taimi or Scarlet because for both of them the reason as to why they accomplished anything was ~dey wuz genuz~. Taimi can create all these simulations, and knows how to analyze and solve everything becuz she a genuz. Scarlet can put together all these groups and create these monstrosities becuz she a genuz.

It's lazy as fuck writing. No one character is going to have all the answers and if you're going to create such a character they are either the hero themselves (which results in a very dull superman situation) or the main villain that remains for the entire series (joker). If you're going to call out anet for doing that shit with scarlet, apply it across the board. Not that it'll do anything, we all know the writing is still going to be lazy until they give up with LW shit.

>>174530731

I cant tell if this is bait or not, but pic related.

Nothing Scarlet did made the least bit of sense.

She intimidates or otherwise convinces a xenophobic faction and a notably misogynistic xenophobic faction to do what she, a female outsider, wants based on their own desires. They get their asses handed to them and their plans foiled, but they still follow scarlet and do what she wants despite failing them utterly.

She pours FUCKLOADS of resouces into building/growing an unbelievably massive in the middle of a lake, a populated lake mind you, with fishing villages that presumably never had a single ship bump into the massive invisble tower dominating the center of the lake, to produce a shitload of toxins to...do what? She didnt know Lion's Arch was the leyline confluence yet, so she didnt know she needed to zyklon the area around the big death ship/drill (that she didnt build yet). She also fucked over the Krait, who nevertheless continue to follow her and do what she says.

She then builds a massive superweapon and tests it right the fuck next door to where she intends to use it, then completely abandons that entire plan despite it being able to completely murder and entire zone worth of people at once, which she could already do with the zyklon she stockpiled before she knew she needed it. No refinement, no drawing board, no "maybe dont make it a giant marionette for seemingly no other reason than it looked cool," no smaller versions to distribute to her storm troopers that she inexplicably still has.

Then she poisons Lion's arch with a toxin that explicitly is said to have no antidote WHILE DEPLOYING HER TROOPS INTO THE AREA SHE IS ACTIVELY STILL POISONING. She has robots, loads of them in fact, but no. Minions vulnerable to poison get tossed into a city that she's dumping loads of lethal poison into.

>>174529816
>meaningful
Remember how every beta trailer and dev talk session mentioned or featured the whirl combo with ranger axe 5 in the elementalist focus fire wall? Anet can't make anything good, and they'll only show something off if it's super flashy, even if it's worthless in practice.

>>174535579

WE SEE YOU MINDFAG

>>174534612
I asked for specific situations in which she's magically had the answer and you gave me screaming my dude. She straight up said the simulation was mostly left over from rata novus and she called in Moto, the asura most experienced with physical holograms, to finish it as well. It also wasn't much of an actual answer to anything?

Please actually answer the question. What besides the discovery that we can put primordus and jormag against one another has she discovered because "she is genuz"? And how does that one discovery she made off the back of an entire dragon focused Rata make as little sense as all this: >>174535057

>tfw you get an armor chest drop in wvw

>>174535865
>What besides the discovery that we can put primordus and jormag against one another has she discovered because "she is genuz"?
>pit cold dragon against hot dragon

Personally I wouldnt even count that as being a genius-level discovery. Once you figure out that dragons are using colored mana it's not too far a leap.

>>174537015
Yeah, and the colored mana thing is super fucking obvious too. Since the vision in Omadd's machine even. I have no idea what anon is mad about.

>>174535579
add charr aznable to the list

>>174532826
The issue is that if there is a new weapon type to be introduced, it will probably be with a new class, not a specialization for an existing class.

>>174537368

Even earlier when you think about it. We knew the dragons were themed and had specific "domains" the whole time. Its only more recently that we figured out how deep that goes, as well as the whole "as one dies the others take their aspects" thing.

I cant tell if you're just that bad at reading comprehension and can't see this is a conversation between two people (of which I am one), or you're baiting because this general isnt allowed to have posts in it unless they involve furries memeing at each other.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Projects/On_Wiki_of_Gold/Contribution_Terms
Anet is now officially bribing players to help with the wiki. Make an edit and they will send you gold via a contribution program that was originally set up by one player who funded it with their own gold. I'm not sure whether this is overall a cool thing for people to earn some gold, or more reflective of a really sad and pathetic state of affairs wrt to player engagement.

>>174538721

>>174542891
that just means the program is working well on the surface? or that you have a casual set of use cases

but for example, SAB has existed since 2013 and the basic walkthroughs still have blank sections, and nothing on trib mode

>>174543252
yep, that would be NPE related then. i don't think they actively nerfed bosses as much as they changed the story levels and did not bother to adjust for progression scaling afterward

>>174544370
probably because it's temporary content

Unironically, I believe GW2 could learn a couple things from No Mans Sky. Namely how discovery is actually processed and leads to horizontal progression in a way that is much more natural than what GW2 has where effectively you're being told you mastered a language, but all you did was kill some mobs the entire time for events that granted XP.

In No Mans Sky, although the game is extremely shallow (try playing a game like that and then coming back to gw2 with the 'shallow' critique...), the way they incentivize language discovery is really interesting. You're granted these words whenever you encounter ruins, and over time through enough discovery of these ruins (and thus the 'nature' of the species), you start fully understanding the NPCs of that species. In GW2, I think the same could follow realistically, explore the area, discover shit, and your language mastery becomes completed over time. It's direct, makes sense logically, and there's no grind. You can avoid it entirely.

But, afaik masteries aren't anywhere near anet's priorities for LS wrap up nor expansion. Oh well~

Why do people praise gw1 so much?

>inba get gud XD
I could imagine it being easy as ritualist or with real human players but with henchmen it is painful

I'm redownloading just because I'm bored, how essential is the xpac?

>>174562756
>Why do people praise gw1 so much?
Because they only remember the good and forget the horrendous. Balance in that game was atrocious. Literally so fucking easy to farm.

>>174563827
I mean, if you're just playing because you're bored and don't care about actually getting into anything, it's not necessary at all.

>>174564921
I kinda fell out last time because I got bored of the daily boss killing schedule and lack of stuff to do in end game, any of that fixed? Or at least being improved?

>>174562756
>gw1 pve
yeah, that game was awesome, but it was the opposite of gw2 in regards to which part of the pve and pvp divide was good

>>174566021
endgame is raids now, and since you apparently like it hot has a bunch of large meta events that get farmed on a schedule and are slightly more involved thatn world bosses i guess

>>174566021
Yeah, there are a bunch of new dailys now. World bosses are still done because it's easy central tyria XP, but I don't do them much tbqh
If you like dungeons/fractals, there's plenty to do now with the addition of raids. So gearing up for and understanding raids is a good goal (doesn't take much though desu). Honestly though even for non-raiders, the way this game handles raids is pretty chill so you should get into it.

All I can think off the top of my head right now. Majority of meta builds use xpac elites, but a lot of them on metabattle for example will provide alternatives for those without it. Really though, just take your time if you're coming back or even thinking about xpac. No need to rush into buying it.

>Why do people praise gw1 so much?
It's part nostalgia, part comparison and part appreciation for the streamlined way in which the game presented its content. Even if you complain about bad NPC AI and pathing (which was indeed absolutely atrocious--especially during Prophecies), you are already mentioning in your greentext an example of a mission outpost. GW2 provides nothing remotely as directional and rewarding as what mission outposts were for the GW1 landscape.

Also, the PvP was pretty good despite the balance issues mostly involving extreme bloat and a Izzy being a complete trashbrain. Fundamentally, though, the pace and legibility of combat were both pretty fair, fights were entirely devoid of offensive RNG procs (aside from critical hits which weren't set at like 80% all the time, and triggered reliably when striking a moving target with melee), and the way the game worked gave teams a lot of opportunities to swing fights on small or large scales. It's still super clunky as shit, though. There is no arguing, that. However, in 2006-08, it was slick and provided a lot of quick customization options so that no player was really ever bogged down by the burden of alts or possible unlocks.

>>174570456
not about the first, but itzel poison has a mastery point, hero challenge, and events.

>>174570456
Yes to poison. Alchemy is literally worthless though.

>>174562756

>>174577373

Certainly. There's a LOT of quality-of-life shit that GW2 does that your standard MMOs don't (that most of the jadedfags here take for granted), and this game really only has the setting in common with Guild Wars 1, and even then it takes place 250 years after.

if you can get past the cringey hugbox community, it's fun. Just don't play a fucking human, it's pretty fucking "Generic Fantasy Trope Land" in the beginning.

Fucking why?

GW2 F2P experience:
- It's the same game except you can't glide.
- You can't access anything related to Heart of Thorns.
- You have no elite specializations so you're eternally sub-par in all game modes.
- Because you started this late, you're going to be destitute as all piss due to the game's artificial inflation economy scheme.
- Your in-game text communication is quite restricted. If you're going to play and want to actually talk to people, try playing with a friend along with some 3rd party comms like steam, mumble or discord. You also can't use the mail system. However, it's not as if you need to communicate with anyone in order to PARTAKE in content.
- A lot of stupid shit is level gated, such as entering into cities. Until you reach those level thresholds, you will be forced to wander around doing fetch quests in the form of large, stylized hearts that appear on zone maps.

if it wasnt called guild wars (and it shouldnt have been), would you like it more or less/ would have a better or worse opinnion about it?

do you think it would have lasted this long?

>>174634921
Better, the GW label is holding it back.

>>174634921
I don't think this matter desu

>>174634921

I was initially skeptical about the game because i didnt really care for the original guid wars, and before I trigger GW1 fags, it just didnt grab my attention because I was playing City of Heroes at the time, and the pacing, general lack of interactivity, and piss poor combat in pre-searing just felt like a slog compared to CoH.

That said, World of Tyria or whatever probably wouldnt have done NEARLY as fucking well. Brand recognition is important.

Pretty new to fractals here. How big of a difficulty spike should I expect when moving from one fractal tier to another? Currently finishing up first tier and I have a healthy(?) 31 agony resistance.

>>174635753
I would agree with this (even though I was invested in gw1; game is clunky as fuck looking back, but it was my first forray into online so I wasn't really judging with a comparison in mind). The only consistent thing about gw2 is its establishment as a brand. It'd just be another wildstar (basically is), if it didn't have the constant fuel from old franchise contributions. Gw2 has changed so much in so many useless and self-conflicting ways that it's only identity is a game made over a decade ago.

i recently started fractals and am up to t3, and other than the few time i bit off more than my ar could handle i didnt notice that much of a difference. There are gimmicks like aoe hurting allies near you when you attack, enemies exploding, or bombs spawning on you, but by that time you (should be) are comfortable avoidning that shit by reflex.

The only real difference is that bossfights are longer so there are more opportunities for mistakes. Real annoying on ele where you are already 1-2 hits away from downing and niggas LOVE to go for your juicy ass resulting in benny hill shit of me running and dodging for my life from the big bad, who in turn is chased by literal tanks coated in uranium trying to get hits in and getting ignored.

the only mention i remeber for the actual guild wars was the first line in the intro "my father fought in the guild wars"

Thought that might be becasue i had worse english tahn now and bascialy skipped the main questline, jsut runing form mission to mission

>thinks gw1 wasnt about guild v guild fighting
>trying this erroneously to fight
>gvg was a minor pvp feature
>the actual guild wars had nothing to do with any gw1 campaign
Ok, so you didn't really play the game at all, good to know.

>>174645253
>Elite missions
>Challenge modes
>Hard mode

Face it, PvP was not the focus of a max level character in GW.

>>174645451
there was nothing else to focus on, pve was completely shit in that game and everybody knew it including the devs

the fact that you're saying things like this shows very plainly that you never played the game while it was fresh

>>174645637
>D-d-doesn't count, fag!

>>174645810
well considering you're talking about the guild wars name, he's right to point out the only game that was named "guild wars" and nothing else

>>174642809
yes . . . . .

>>174645901
None of the expansions were named anything other than Guild Wars. Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North were all subtitles just like Prophecies was for the base game.

>>174621787
cute and comfy lilsura, i love the hat and the boots

>>174646123
This is wrong, kiddie. The first campaign was later rebranded as prophecies, and the original game was sold as "Guild Wars". But go on, show us how fucking new you are some more.

>>174646475
It is Prophecies now, isn't it?

That's all that matters :^)

>>174647105
try to shitpost better next time instead of harder, anon

ebik :DDD

soo um, is your ncsoft account email and password same as the one you use for gw2?

>>174645253
How the fuck can anyone have rose tinted glasses for an MMO in which PvP is the only good game mode? Fuckin' what?

>>174647491

kek

>>174647520
has this all been a massive ruse anon?

>>174647726
go read the first line in the description of the game on its official wiki, faggot

>>174647726
>Guild Wars is a CORPG, or Competitive/Cooperative Online Role Playing Game developed for Windows by ArenaNet and published by NCsoft. The first campaign of Guild Wars, Guild Wars Prophecies was released on April 28, 2005. The different genre was chosen (as opposed to the "Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) RPG") due to the perceived differences between the game and other MMOs: the focus on Player versus Player (PvP) rather than Player versus Environment (PvE) play made it almost a unique case at the time, players received their own instanced copy of explorable zones and parties were limited to 8 players each, a tiny number compared to the massive caps of other games, which often allowed for up to 64 players in a single party (and unlimited players in non-instanced zones, which were the norm).

>>174648024
Jesus. I'm glad it's not a "true" sequel in the way you wanted then, that sounds terrible. Sorry you're so salty about the direction Anet decided to take their game over the years I guess? This whole thing still seems really petty to me.

Watcha up to anons? Are you cozy and comfy?

>>174648024
>>174647491
>mfw I notice it even goes on to explain the thing about pvp
If only anon was capable of reading a short paragraph before showing off what an illiterate retard he is. Alas.

>>174648536
Joke's on you, they actually ARE doing that. Why do you think shit in pve constantly gets nerfed and even removed just because of some stupid build in the spvp minigame that nobody plays?

>>174648657
>A short blurb written by GW-era Anet is the unfallible word of god, as they can do no wrong and certainly didn't make a game in which the PvP was a shitfest of FOTM builds

Whatever they claimed themselves at the time, the PvE content was a much better experience than dancing around touch rangers, obsidian spikers and thumpers in PvP

>>174647276
I think they're different. Only for GW1 are they the same I believe.

>>174648546
Just played some pvp and had fun. More jade farming later~

>>174648961
Consider themselves lucky because the game was ROUGH. Thank goodness for exploits.

>>174648986
It isn't saying what was good, anon, it's saying what the focus was. And that's a very fair thing to say. Good to see I was completely right about your illiteracy I guess.

>>174648792
>spvp minigame that nobody plays
>sub 1 minute queues into spvp matches

>>174648792
They've already begun making PvP only changes to stop that, and their shitty esports league is dead my dude. Honestly I don't understand anyone who treats MMO PvP as anything but a minigame, let alone wants an entire game designed around it.

>>174648961
I got to about level 10 and was having such a shit time just leveling to it's tiny, baby level cap that I considered fucking suicide my dude. I guess I understand why the leveling experience was so bad if I was only meant to play the PvP though. Thanks for enlightening me.

>>174649121
of course, the next game starts when the 10 retards end the previous one, so there's no queue

>>174648961
gw2 doesnt even have developers who played the original guild wars

>>174649112
It doesn't really matter what the devs intended the focus to be if the players engaged in something else with their time, now does it?

>>174649112
So you admit the PvP was trash despite it being the focus? Maybe that's why they changed focus.

>>174649258
because expecting guild wars 2: electric mmo to not be about pvp is like expecting a counter strike mmo to not be about shooting people

>>174649297
>There's a group of 10 people who never sleep, eat or shit, they just play spvp all the time so that's why there are no queues

The depths of delusion right here, folks.
