Well lucky you, you're exactly the sort of person that ANet made leveling obsolete for. Just use your level 20/30/40 scroll and then use 60/50/40 tomes.

If you don't have enough of those for at least like 300 levels worth cluttering up your bank, then you have nothing to complain about.

>>175668906
>Not already having 9 80s

I know what you mean though, I mained guardian before HoT but dragonslayer was too shit and turned me off it. Now a potential support or condi guardian with tomes is on the cards I'm considering changing. I'll wait for more official info on what the classes will play before deciding though because engi/kangz/ele/druid all look interesting too.

But the worms were just on a view maps. And there was no gemstore for them.

>>
>>175684347

Mounts are currently in GW2 actually. Magic carpets for example.
However, anet is taking that concept to the next stage similar to gliding.

there are no normal mounts in guild wars2. the closest thing is the bike adventure. and this is more of a transformation.

>on a view maps
??
You used them for missions where they could traverse terrain that would kill you. But yeah, having them in outposts, if allowed, would be crazy to think about.
>>175685150
That's a bit different though. Having a creature that you can control with it's own unique skills is more akin to it.
>>
>>175685384
Magic carpet acts as pretty much every mount in every mmo game ever.
As I stated, they're actually implementing masteries and shit with the ~actual~ mounts.
The reason I bring up magic carpets is because for some reason people are anti-mounts even though when xpac 2 releases, we'll have pretty much every type of mount in any mmo.

>>175684468

>>175685875
Not really. Granted the raptor probably doesn't eat you ala Dune to control it, but it's still a creature that you hop on to gain an advantage for an area, and then you get off it when you're done.

The only way this will be any different is if they allow it in outposts and cities and even Kryta.
>>
>>175685648
>for some reason people are anti-mounts
Yes because the new expansion will be built with mounts in mind. Enemy encounters, map design, rewards structures, and perhaps every HoT and Core map....
It worked more or less with gliding in HoT. But i do not have much faith for anet. They could make this one mechanic not fun and the whole expansion will suffer from it.

And no, the carpet is not a mount.
>>
>>175676456
>tfw i just read about M.O.X. and why he's a thing
>tfw i didn't play gw1 so i was like "why is this golem here"
>>
>>175686239
Let's be frank, the entire expansion is going to suffer not because of mounts but because yet again the only form of replayability anet understands is doing the same thing over and over again because they've learned nothing from queens jubilee.

And yes, it is a mount. If this was literally any other game it would be sold as a full price mount bitch.
>>
>>175686237
yeah and we don't know any of that info yet, so you're just assuming all kinds of shit by claiming it's the same as junundu. more to the point, junundu is not what people mean when they say mount. there is a heart quest in caledon forest where you turn into a plant pupper, that's junundu. any greater ability to mount at will is closer to a traditional mount than a junundu

>>175686931
Dude its in the same fucking area, they more than likely got the idea from the junundu because it was the only way you could get around that area. I get it and youre could be right that the junundu wont be used as a new mount, and that these new ones can go anywhere and do much more as an actual ride rather than being eaten and controlling it from the inside until it spits you out - but its nevertheless exactly the same concept and youre splitting hairs here by trying to argue this shit.
>>
So it's pretty much confirmed the xpac will be $20. Everything from an old leaker was actually true as fuck, and the price is the only thing that hasn't been leaked.
Which means, elona will slowly drip during living story (istan here we cum buddy), and plenty of pvp maps.
Absolutely nothing for wvw LMAOOO

>>175686931
They sound a LOT like the scorps you transform into in edge of the mists, due to the mastery skills you get.

>>175687151
That video was explicitly to anet devs, he's basically giving them an ultimatum. Either compensate him more (either through exclusive access that other creators wont get, or just flat out $$$), or he'll start talking about the leaks too.

>The good news is that this time around we have two separate fully-staffed teams that are both hitting on all cylinders. So our rough plan is to slot the expansion pack into the release cadence as if it were an episode: episode 5, then episode 6, then the expansion pack, then episode 1. But we’ll make some allowance for the fact that shipping an expansion pack is a big deal logistically and will probably take longer than the 2~3 months we normally allocate between episodes.

So this confirms xpac 2 for either very late 2017 or very early 2018

spoilerific speculation on elite specs.


Warrior = Spellbreaker: Dagger based, but defensive duelist type.

Guardian = Firebrand: Condition damage spec for Guardians. More burning, Wells, and likely bleeding.

Revenant = Renegade: Some say condition, I say more nuanced and unique. Comes with some form of bow, could be shortbow, could be long. Gains and F2, F3, and F4 skill. F3 is aoe. I would imagine this to be a means of "summoning" Legends to act as complementary buffs perhaps. Legend is Kalla Scorchrazor. In life she gathered armies from all three legions, and led a rebellion, I could easily see this spec revolve around spirits and summoning things.

Thief = Deadeye, long-range dps spec. Gains a rifle, PvE might change to allow for people to spread out and not have their damage turn to shit. Or not. Could be good for pvp. Also seems to indicate some support for condition damage.

Ranger = Spiritbeast. Dagger Main-hand. Can only imagine what this actually does. Likely a mix of raw dps options, but could also be a pseudo "petless" ranger. Channeling similar magics to the Norn Spirit forms, Rangers can fuse with their pets becoming ferocious beasts.

Engineer = Holosmith. Sword mainhand. Yeah, kinda blindsided me on this one. Looks to be a support/healing oriented spec.

Elementalist = ???. Sword mainhand maybe? Not sure. Could use generally anything for some role diversity except healing. Tempest does that well enough.

Mesmer = Mirage. Mesmer needs some love in regards to its damage. This however looks like another defensive spec. Could be wrong anyways.

Necromancer = Scourge. Really hoping for support. If it's more conditions then fucking fix Reaper. If it's condi/support then seraph stats here we go.

>>175702958
Holosmith is the one I'm looking forward to the most but I was hoping for a bruiser that I didn't get with the more defensive scrapper but swords are more finessed so I don't know.

Are we sure they're still doing the idea of taking another class's utility type because I'm not sure what the holograms and could be be. The obvious one is necro minions but it'd be cool to have mesmer style illusions although they seem too important for their core gameplay to share
>>
>>175703691
I know that much yeah, but what could those specs actually do though?
>>
>>175704109
I want to say shouts and clones. But really I'd like that to be a mesmer thing first.

Hey maybe Mirage gets shouts?

Imagine, Mirage does a shout, and then all of its corresponding phantasms mimic that shout. Or perhaps the Mirage can "throw" his voice, using a shout as a castable instant AOE?

It's more of an anti-magic thing, so I'm guessing it will have more to do with absorbing and being immune to certain magic attacks. Would be neat to see a variation of adrenaline but where you are absorbing your enemies attacks.

Anyways the enchantment by Monk Griffons in the first game was annoying as fuck. Rendered most of your party's skills useless if they were literally by definition to be a spell instead of a skill.

thanks for finally admitting your ignorance
1. he was responsible for a rash of GW1 account bans which culminated in a big support thread on the GW2 forum. when asked for a reason he said something on twitter about VPNs. just using a VPN isn't a reason to ban someone, and even if it was, it doesn't explain why only GW1 access was banned. customer service had to undo the bans by request for each false positive
2. he was responsible for the bug that gave everyone free GW1 achievements and got the GW2 hom shut down for 5 months as a result, you can check the forums where he posted about that

now get that dick out of your mouth

>>175716198

ok how does that relate to him making bots and hacking when he was younger? did he hack peoples accounts? did hacking make him less adept at security?

so i havent played since the expansion came out. is it worth getting back in? what i like the most are fractals and world bosses, i think i'd like to try the raids too. MUST i buy the expansion?

I would suck anets dick for shapeshifting skills similar to engineer kits mechanically.

>>175722308
For raid you have no choice
For high level fractals you probably still can without the exp.

IMO you should get it while it's in discount. It's kinda fun, even if too short. Specialization are nice and gliding is surprisingly really good.
>>
>>175722308
>>175722629
but definitely go in game first before buying it to see if you want it.
I've seen people buy it then feel like they don't want to play the game at all after a week.

So everything is a-naturally fucked as usual. I just wish they would outright spoil the actual mechanics of everything already so I can figure out how much I actually feel like wanting to come back to some friends or not. There isn't a lot in total. Just get on with it so I can debate on something to maybe play.
>>
>>175722629
>>175722819

thank you anons. are the raids worth it? btw how has the meta evolved for fractals since the exp came out? i had mes/war/engi all all suped up for them, wonder how much i'd have to change my gear to do the new levels past 50
>>
>>175722308
fractals benefit from expansion which brings fractal masteries
raids require hot
so if youre looking to get back in gw2 and those two things will be your main source of fun, hot is pretty much required

>>175722894
seek mental help wherever possible

>>175722949
raids are pretty much the best pve content in game right now, but if you're a solo player with zero intention of finding any sort of cohesive group outside of pugs, then it's probably just frustrating for the most part
meta for fractals doesn't change much
>>
>>175723153
Not him, but. What's the easiest class to raid with? I always wanna try, but gearing seems like kind of a bear. Then again, I suck at making money in this game.
>>
>>175723321
VR Missions?
>>
>>175723306
fractals is still a great way to make money and you should be comfortable with them before really diving into raids imo
and easiest to raid with will always be the class you know most about, they're all pretty much relatively even in use, there's no class that I feel is next level difficult in raids or what have you but revs are probably universally disliked in raids due to being mediocre

gearing for raids isn't that intense at all, ascended gear isn't mandatory. the most crucial part is just finding a group willing to teach and be patient, whether that's a guild or just complete randos.

jugg or some other autistic shitposter is taking posts from other threads and pooling them in here

>>175723306
Easiest to play in raids? Mesmer/chronomancer is a good choice. It's hard to be really good at but you're not expected to do high dps or complicated rotations just to be accepted, and you're pretty durable.
As far as DPS goes, warrior is also very easy to be acceptable at and you're very tanky with no defensive gear or traits.

Overall though, Ranger/druid. You can be a mediocre druid healer and people will
still want you. You can basically auto attack as a condition ranger and get 20k+ dps.
It's not the easiest profession to do a great job at, but theyre in such a good place right now that you can cheese your way into a group that will carry you.

Are leaks safe to post on 4chan or are they against board rules?
>>
>>175724725
no its been leaked (same people who released a whole lot of info before anyone fucking knew that came true this week) they're aiming for smaller expansions ~$20 range
which means they'll probably have a expac + hot bundle for full price ~$60, compared to making the base game + hot free
>>
>>175724725
>$60
They were trying to get $100 out of people by making it seem like they were getting all this cool stuff

And then it was really just gems they were paying for with no real discount

reddit the post

>>175724869
they've already been posted numerous times, just scroll up and/or visit previous thread

so like $60 for everything for new/F2P players
then like $20-30 for the expansion itself for those who already own HoT?

Elementalist is a capable healer, but unless you have a group of friends who will take you, nobody will take an elementalist healer to raids.
Elementalists can heal just as well as druids, but druids also bring just as many boons as elementalist (if not more), spirits, glyph of empowerment, AND grace of the land, which puts them lightyears ahead of elementalist for raid/dungeon healing.

People care less in fractals. I auramancer heal in fractals from time to time to carry pugs and they probably don't even notice or care.

Stick to it. I'm one of the people who notice my fragile characters being picked up by healers. I also changed skills to heal with shouts as a warrior to maintain the group; here I'm usually the last to fall.

In case of people not picking you up, holy shit meta is annoying. Sometimes even fractals are filled with autists. When I came back to the game and didn't know what PS was that asperger sperged out and suggested that I should consider suicide. That was tier 1 fractal, lmao.

I've read a lot about people bitching that balthazar would never act like that but that's assume that nothing has changed in those 250 years for the gods. I don't really understand what people assume here, that the gods left tyria went to sleep for 250 years?

I personally hate how my character doesn't really react to a literal god, a human god on top of that. And them trying to shoehorn gods interest in elder dragons, I hate that.

>>175750062
Don't worry, they'll pull some explanation out of the same crevasse in their ass that they pull Balthazar out of this episode.

Then we'll be expected to applaud them for doing so as if leaving the audience in the dark for an episode or two after a major asspull is somehow 'good' writing. What's worse is there will be retards who genuinely clap because 'Wow, they planned it all along!', despite us being in this shit situation for the next X months.

Imagine if they just kept Lazarus as Lazarus but have the fact that they only had 80% of him mean that's why we can see him without ascending. Then, imagine replacing Balthazar this episode with Lazarus with exactly the same story/outcome, only instead of Balthazar needing to power up for unknown reasons because he was weakened for unknown reasons we could have Lazarus' plan to have been to drain the elder dragons to bring some of the Mursaat back from the mists or some other location.

I'm not saying my version there is great but it at least doesn't completely waste Lazarus as a character (unless they have the REAL one show up sometime soon, in which case nobody will fucking believe it), it doesn't shit all over the six and it gives more of an interesting lead into episode 6 than 'Who the fuck knows what's coming next'.

The whole episode can be summed up in 'hype' moments that are cool if you spend less than 30 seconds thinking about the hows and why or the potential for future story.

This is true of Dwayna, not the others. She's the one who brought humanity with her. However generally speaking they haven't shoved their hands in human affairs for centuries now (outside of some shitty gw1 excuse of an ingame mechanic).
Besides, Abaddon and Dhuum were both gods too, and you can't exactly proclaim they were out with human's best interests.

Not him but it's better than anything Anet has done in Guild Wars 2. It's better plotting than Factions as well. Not finished Prophecies or Nightfall so can't comment on how shit they are. I'll go by Anet's track record though: they're likely shit.
>>
>>175750804
>Dwayna, but not the others

Balthazar had a hard-on for human dominance. Lyssa literally lived among humans in various forms. Melandru wasn't strictly pro-human, but she did promote peace between and balance for all the races. Grenth first appeared to a human who thought the other gods had betrayed her and made her his first devotee. Kormir WAS a human.
>>
>>175750649
>instead of Balthazar needing to power up for unknown reasons because he was weakened for unknown reasons
It's almost like the gods are immensely magical things in a world where dragons devour magic or something. Some of which even have the same "falvor" of magic and the various colors of the magical rainbow were recently exposited on. I wonder where all the magic went.

Surely there's nothing important to the fact that the god of fire was trying to drain magic from the fire dragon and it was all an asspull for the purpose of hype.

While I agree that anet's work has pretty effectively been consistently shit, anon's work isn't better at all. It would play out much worse in any game due to the simple fact that translating any written work into a game diminishes its quality.

>>175751161
>Balthazar had
Yes, until he lost his divinity and sperged out. Hence where we're at now.
None of the other statements of the gods actually backs up the idea that their entire purpose was protection of the humans. Melandu and Balth contradict each other directly, but somehow in your mind they're both working to protect and look after humans? Anon pls
>>
>>175751161
Not to mention that all the gods pitched in when humans were in danger and were largely uninterested in the plights of other races all throughout the storylines of the original game and its expansions.
>>
for an mmo this game is pretty bad
dont even expect that much really but fucking hell
>>
>>175751365
Melandru and Balthazar might have been at odds, but the fact is that both of them had humanity's best interests at heart, for different reasons.

All mmos are bad, saved you some time. Now go get hyped about the next big mmo just so you can be disappointed by it.

>>175751531
this is the worst one i played
>>
The real question is, where are the rest of the Six and why did Balth have Lyssa's mirror?
>>
>>175751215
So all of the six are weakened because the dragons were draining them? That means by killing two we re-empowered two of them?

That only makes sense if Jormag is still as active as ever because the exposition + this episode went pretty deep in explaining they're polar opposites on the magical colour spectrum so sucking off Jormag for power would've been detrimental to Balth. If Balthazar also sucked up Jormag's magic somehow too then it's taken a bloodstone explosion + two elder dragons to repower him, guess the other gods that are drained are fucked because there's not enough juice to go around even if they destroy Tyria.

Also your explanation pretty much means we'll be directly opposing the gods and protecting Kralkatorrik in the next expansion I guess? Because they'll be after dragon juice and we'll need to protect Tyria.

Not saying you're wrong but you can't really be sarcastic about it being obvious when if you think about the repercussions of what you suggest it seems unlikely. And this is the whole problem with this living story episode, even trying to decipher what went on leads to either a weird as fuck story or even more asspulls to change the direction later and either way we're in the dark.
>>
>>175751513
Yeah, I love humans! I'm totally ok with a bunch dying in battle as long as I can jerk off to how much of tyria I conquered. PS. don't listen to that bitch Mel, conquer the world fags.

Exactly. It's all degrees of pointlessness. Arguing about a plot-point that isn't going to be resolved for another six months (and then resolved with amateurish cack-handedness) ranks pretty low. Why not post pictures of characters. I would say "toon" but it doesn't seem to trigger you all anymore.

MMOs attract a certain kind of damaged person, the kind that seeks attention and validation from strangers because they don't get enough of it socially for any number of reasons. This mindset conflicts with discussion in an anonymous setting, since there's no real way for these people to get tht attention they crave. Add to that the fact that MMOs allow for visually distinct characters, and you get people either forcing their identity into the thread, their identity being forced int the thread by others, or one being made up on the spot (identifying characteristic-anon, etc.)

Given the prevalence of shitposting on this thread, these folks are typically forced into memes, since their identity is part of a somewhat small pool of shared qualia specific to the denizens of the thread.

Given that this sort of forcing of personalities runs contrary to the anonymous nature of the board, conduct results amongst those who seek attenton in this manner, and those that prefer not to.

Complaining about complaining instead of discussing the game is still complaining instead of discussing the game.

The thing is, it's easy to go to that old "just talk about the game" chestnut, but there's not much that hasn't already been said. The overwhelming majority of the regular posters here have stripped the game clean of content and cracked the fucking bones for marrow years ago. We get a new LS update or a leak and everyone just rapaciously devours that shit immediately because there's so little else to discuss.

Consequently, we're mostly left with the thread equivalent of that one person at family gatherings that constantly goes "REMEMBER THAT TIME THING HAPPENED? REMEMBER INSIDE JOKE? INSIIIIDE JOOOOOKE" whenever there's a lull in the conversation because they have nothing to contribute but have to fill the void, and meta-conversation about the thread itself.

Kind of like what we're doing now.

i think i'll go with condi engi for sure, and i might go with warrior but i don't want it if it would play too similar to warrior. and i'm not "bored" of zerkers, it's just that i'd rather try out something else, thanks for the advice

Literally every avatarfag that's ever posted in a /vg/ mmo thread in general or gw2g specifically.

Map chat in basically any city or area where larger numbers of people happen to be gathered, where you can see numerous people desperately trying to get upvotes that don't exist

The fact that basically anyone who gets namedropped or posts their character long enough to have a defacto identity created for them gets memed to death, and the rabidly autistic reaction that that memeing can cause (WE SEE YOU MINDFAG, etc.)

Depends. The quality of the game has been getting steadily better in basically every way.
If you left before Heart of Thorns (and therefore do not have HoT), then now is a bad time to come back because the next expac comes out in a few months, which will basically require you to buy the game twice in this span.

You do know that they massively changed direction with the lore during the periods of NightFall and EotN right? Pre-NightFall lore was made by a different team then post NightFall lore. Hence the "Elder Dragons" and the Gods not having created magic and the bloodstones.

Humanity are a bunch of ayy lmaos on Tyria, the gods brought them there to inherit the planet and that kinda backfired. I'm sure there are humans on different planets out there, so Balthazar may not even give a shit at this point and just thinks humans who worship him are useful idiots.

I think they're finally getting into the groove of using game mechanics as part of the boss fight. All those raid bosses must be good practice.

>>175801227
>anet has always been AWFUL at lore
ArenaNet has always, ALWAYS, always been struggling with executing the lore of their games. You read the GW wiki and the GW2 novels and it all sounds cool, yes, but ArenaNet were only capable of implementing their ideas into lackluster performances. GW1 had it's shining moments when it came to story but what we see now is what they've always wanted. It's what we would've gotten from GW: Utopia. If we didn't have WoodenPotatoes spoonfeeding everyone lore, nobody would know of it including Neo-ArenaNet themselves. It's all tucked away hidden in the world, on websites with developer interviews from 2005-2007, written in books, and in GW2's case lost to time as LS1 was temporary content.

The latest LS episode isn't too bad when you really look into it. It's that in-game execution that makes you cringe, the characters they've created, and the stupid jokes in the presence of a god. The newest zone is pretty cool and adds to that "beloved fictional world" rather than burn it. We got some insight into why the Six Human Gods are no longer influencing the world of Tyria-- at least in Balthazar's case. The gods of Tyria are not almighty indestructible beings, Abaddon and Dhuum weren't impenetrable giants that one-hit KO'd us.

GW1 machinima cinematics were better, though.

not him and he's an idiot but ill elaborate

eye of the north expansion for gw1 was made largely by the gw2 team after the original team left, the new team added asuras and norns and the whole "cutsey lol puns and every comment must be witty, and also make sure everything is super sjw progressive by making women be the forefront leaders and characters of 3/4ths of stories, cities, and mission outposts" style of writing and design, although at the time the sjw part of it was not as noticeable. They put a halt on the whole middle and imperial ages, ancient magics, ancient asian and african cultures in a relateable context and and bascially went "LOL portals, flying ships, and super industrialized gadgetry made by a race of super smug intelligent brainiac rats." The next expansion was supposed to have chronomancer as it's own class but they realized they couldnt do much more with the gw1 engine and decided to start work on the next game. They then hired this woman with zero storywriting history and multiple failed book deals to do the story for gw2, it bascially took all the shit out of her horrible books including the salad people and the ridiculously unbelieveable and ungrounded characters not unlike Trehearne.

Gw1's lore had lots of subtle references to movies, other games and shit (like the God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals tiers were references to Anchorman "Im kind of a big deal" "I have many leather bound books", etc) that the story and surroundings was never beat-your-face-in with overkill sjw shit and jar jar binks and mary sue characters. It had character grudges, conflicts and issues that were more believeable, and it let the player discover how to proceed in their quest, not some sidekick gungan rat with a fucking walkie talkie. Not to mention having a quest log/journal also was a lot nicer and gave a feeling of true adventure rather than the fucking hearts we have now that anet seems to keep around regretfully...
>>
>>175803215
cont.
gw1 had storywriters that were fans of actual board games and lore from book series so they knew how to implement and come up with their own, so to speak, and drew a lot of inspiration from pagan and ancient mesopotamian culture and placed it into the middle ages. It might have been too big of a task but in the confines of the original game and its two expansions nightfall and factions, they fucking did a great job implementing new creatures, areas and backdrops that were entertaining.
>>
>>175801227
I as an adult and I thought the lore was great. GW1's lore was completely solid with a few minor almost irrelevant exceptions. Like that one time they added this weird little gremlin race with the most retardedly inappropriate name ever. But we got used to those and even play them now.

GW2's living story completely shits on the lore though. It's obvious that whatever writers they hired have absolutely no appreciation for and very little knowledge of the world of Tyria. What they'd rather do is talk about their wow so interesting characters like Taimi and Braham while everyone with any sense cringes and skips the dialog.

That leak was confirmed fake, it got a lot of the LS episode stuff wrong including the location and "BiS consumable" requiring sawgill mushrooms. That was a fake leak trying to make bank from the mushrooms which peaked at like 2 silver each before diving back down to like 60 copper each.

Disregard that post entirely, it was false.

Playing through HoT, exploring the zones, and doing the metas there is very fun, though the mastery grind is annoying. It's still nothing like GW1 though. And GW2's endgame is still pretty much farm the same content forever and ever for skins.
>>
>>175803215
I don't really have a horse in the race so to speak lore-wise but to me GW1 always just felt somehow more "grown up" with how it treated its characters and the unfolding of its story. I don't know how to explain it but GW2 feels like the kids playing around in their parents shoes trying to do the same thing, everything just feels more like a saturday morning cartoon version of what came before. Doesn't help that the "Living World" main cast are all so fucking obnoxious either.

Hey I'm kind of almost a new player and I'm confused about a lot of things and was hoping someone could teach me:

1. with heart of thorns theres these elite things, so I was wondering if everyone is playing those elite things at the max level? like if I roll a ranger am I supposed to play druid at max level and just heal? and if this is the case then what is chronomancer or whatever the mesmer elite thing is? because I really want to play mesmer but I noticed they use shields so I'm worried about being stuck having to tank and take the lead since I'm not good with that in mmos

2. if I played ranger -> druid, how hard is healing in this game? as I understand it druid is the only pure healer class and the way it used to be was that you'd use defensive abilities or something like that?

3. I noticed in the story UI there's the living story stuff and it says it costs gems. I haven't purchased heart of thorns yet so I don't know if they come with that or if I still have to pay gems despite owning the expansion?

4. I'm playing mesmer currently and I'm using a sigil to boost my movement speed but my character keeps saying voice lines over and over and it's starting to get on my nerves a little bit so I was wondering if there's a way to turn that off without turning off all character voices?

5. since there's no real roles how the heck do dungeons work like do I have to be a professional gamer to do the dungeons I've never ever done a dungeon in this game or any game like this before only in mmos with holy trinity please help

6. are there meta builds or something like that or does literally anything work? I'm generally feel really lost with this game and I feel like everyone else knows what they are doing but I have no fucking idea and I'm just going from spot to spot doing shit and picking skills that seem fun and I'm worried I'm gonna end up in a situation where my character is so unoptimal I won't be able to do the pve content with others later on

please assist

Rangers have a few different builds at max level, elite specs tend to be a direct upgrade, but some base classes have viable builds. Ranger's condi build is in the PvE meta, in fact. Mesmers are boonsluts, and actual tanking mechanics only exist in raids, so you're good. If you run armor.

Healing requires you to pay attention to more than just mobs obviously, most of the time they just auto or ground target heals when allies are low. Helps to know the fight because it's more important a healer doesn't get low.

HoT and LS stuff are different, you have to login to get the LS stuff for free but there's a limited window, you'd get the story from buying HoT.

You can do dungeons in rare gear starting at level 35, but really you should be 80 with lv.80 exotic gear since dungeons need dps, and you'll find groups much eaiser.

Check metabattle.com, and the rest of the OP for things like dungeon guides/info, you can also join one of the /vg/ guilds for further advice, they're both helpful.
>>
>>175816170
>If you run armor.
I wanted to mention that running armor with toughness can make mobs more inclined to attack you, but it won't matter since everything but bosses in this game melt.

1. elites are for HoT so not everyone will be using elite specs and even then there are some builds that have surfaced that use base specs, albeit with the new stat types. You don't have to play druid at max as it's just an option. Alternatively, you can play condi ranger at max level if you wanted. Mesmers chronomancer elite spec focuses on support to make everyones cooldown faster as well as keeping up boons for a long amount of time.

4. There's an option to disable player chatter, but I don't know if that includes you.

5. Dungeons will eventually end up with everyone taking dps stats like berserker. Everyone just keeps close together for the buffs and pulls the mobs together in a cluster so its easier to dps. If you're going to do this with randoms, then let them know you've never done dungeons and hopefully they'll tell you what to do and when. Otherwise, have fun with it or look at a guide.

6. metabattle.com for meta dps builds and such. It even lists an optimal rotation you can follow to get the most out of your dps.

thank you friends, you've helped me a lot
>>
>>175815501
>1.
You have three specializations that make a character's build, they're called core specializations and they're what core professions come with. Elite specializations is an entire trait line that you unlock at level 80 by playing the expansion content or WvW. You can only equip one specialization at once so you can't be a Chronomancer and a Mirage.

Druid isn't a pure healer, you can still do power/condi damage as a druid because 2/3 of your traits will still be from the core ranger specializations. Specializing also doesn't get rid of your core skills and weapons, so you're not forced to use a shield as a chronomancer. You can run different builds and not play a tank if you don't want to.

>2.
I've never healed in fractals or raids so I can't comment on how hard it is to heal but it doesn't look too hard to learn. Tempest and druid healers use their skills, like tempest has a mobile water field they can blast for AoE healing and druid has a water field on staff that they can blast for AoE healing as well as skills that heal on a radius.

>3.
That's a terrible, terrible monetization system that ArenaNet should get rid of but aren't. Even with the expansion you'll have to pay gems to unlock those episodes.

Living world season 2 can be played with a friend.
Living world season 3 unlocks new maps, so you can't bring friends along.

You can buy gems with in-game gold, so I suggest learning your favorite class and running fractals, doing your dailies, and selling materials you don't use. There's other ways to earn gold too.

>4.
That signet is nice for group content but if you're just using it to go fast I suggest just using a focus.
>>
>>175815501
1. Depends on the class. https://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki will show you popular builds.

2. Tank spank and heal is not really something that happens in this game, people generally have to take care of themselves and party heals just help avoid attrition. As a druid your healing is something extra you do while being annoying running around shooting lasers at shit. Condition control is more important than straight up healing in general.

3. I think it's separate but I forget. The first season predates HoT.

4. But don't you like outrunning a centaur?

5. Dungeons are stupid and gay and lame and you can easily sleep through them, they're pointless who gives a shit. For instanced content, people spend more time in Fractals and those start out easy as fuck too and have a very slow difficulty curve so just playing them will teach you how to git gud at them. There's raids too but that's for once you're fully kitted out and know what you're doing and have a guild that doesn't suck.

6. see 1. However, general rule of thumb:
PVE (open world, dungeons, fractals, anything but raids): You can literally play whatever you want, it doesn't matter, use the stupidest build if you want if you think it's fun.
WvW: You can play it like PVE and go whatever you want if you're in the zerg and don't give a shit but it can have more impact to pick a build that aids the group, especially if you're rolling with a havoc team. Most meta sites will list builds as either "front line" or "support".
sPVP: is fucking gay
Raids: composition is very important so by the time you're good enough to get there you'll know how to find out what you need
>>
>>175815501
>>175816946

>5.
In terms of difficulty:
Dungeons < Fractals < Raids

Dungeons are quite easy but still require you to be in groups unless you're good enough to solo some. You're in charge of dodging out of danger, healing yourself, and doing damage. No tanking is needed. Most groups use speedrunning tactics so trash is avoided. Even if you killed all the elite/trash mobs in the way, you won't need a tank.

>6.
>Meta builds for F2P
Kind of hard to memorize those, but since elite specializations are only 1/3 of a build, you could copy the core specializations and fit in a 3rd core specialization of your choosing. Mesmer is quite the versatile class, so you have options.

http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki - Dungeons, fractals, etc
http://qtfy.eu/builds/ - More serious/meta builds, mostly for raids

I wouldn't mind partying up with you and letting you play through LS season 2 for free, anon. Just ask through here and I'll post my name. It's really late right now though and I'm finishing college assignments and sleeping soon after. Paying for like 1,600 gems worth of story is just crazy, buying the expansion should unlock everything.
>>
>>175808816
yes

>>175815501
You play whatever you want in PvE, this includes; personal story, open world exploration, world boss fights, and dungeons.
You have some leeway for tweaking the meta for Fractal of the Mist instances but this is where you'll need to start learning meta build(s) and using ascended tier gear.
Raid instances benefit from meta builds, only accessible after purchasing HoT.

You can play whatever you want in WvW but this is PvP so naturally the meta will be stronger. You can get away with stepping out of the meta though, knowing how to play your class is more important than selecting the right build.
sPvP is more strict, you'll need meta to counter the cancer.
