Guild Wars 2: Post-Release Discussion

[bluefan]

Just ran all 3 AC paths.

All warrior except a lone Ranger.

Finished all 3 in just under an hour. Amazing

[Kiarax]

Warrior is balanced.

[Arcana]

Its not like Catacombs is hard or anything, you can skip 50% of the crap in it anyway.

[Shiyo]

Skipping stuff in AC makes it beyond boring..I hate anyone who skips shit in dungeons besides retarded crap like HOTW that shouldn't exist in the first place. Pugs skip the ONLY fun part of AC, blows my fucking mind. I can't PUG anymore cause they make dungeons negative fun.

[Arcana]

I want to run dungeons quickly, if i'm doing a dungeon its because theres a goal i want to achieve from it. AC i've been spamming for weapons/gifts etc, which means multiple runs and very time consuming skipping unnecessary crap like kholer & troll makes the pain of having to do it every day less than it normally would.

[Kiarax]

Even though I agree it's the only real fun part of AC, I can understand skipping Kholer. PUGs skipping the champ mobs that you clear in under a minute and give tons of silver kind of boggles the mind though.

Yeah I also only play for loot in a game where the loot I'm getting is just cosmetics for looks and not even stats that benefit me at all.

Also you are aware that anet stated they do not like people skipping stuff, and will do anything they can to stop it? So yeah, have fun exploiting shit for your statless cosmetic gear(wtf do you need to exploit for +0 stats for anyways)cause it's not going to be around forever.

[Arcana]

i kill the champ mobs, because im a dick and pull them anyway.

[Rhyis.]

Skipping content you don't have to do is an exploit now?

[Shiyo]

It's exploiting the games aggro/dungeon design and doing something they didn't intend, so yes. Bannable? No, exploit? Yeah.

[Corrderio]

Pretty much. In process of leveling engineer right now (46) and I'm loving it. Only problem I see so far is wep stats not applying to kits. Well and there being no customization for how your kits look.

As for portal, ima be pissed if its range. I'm down with limiting number of people allowed through it though.

I'm kinda hoping for a buff to guns or something. Feels like the grenade kit is more reliable for damage than pistols/rifles. Only time I really use pistols is for Glue Shot since I got that one trait where I cripple an enemy for 5 seconds if I bind them.

[ClarkSammich]

I ran AC with an absolute prick of a warrior the other day. He insisted we skip (on Detha path): the first graveling mound event, queen spider, the gravelings in the tunnel after queen spider, kholer, the 5 spiders that spawn in the area after kholer, the two graveling champions after the trap segment, and the goddamned oozes on the staircase to the boss room.

We vote kicked him after he called our ranger a nig-- nice.. person.

It makes no sense to me to play a game and actively avoid playing it at the same time.

I don't care if people do it, I just want them to shut the fuck up about it if the rest of the party isn't interested.

[Kuishen]

I don't understand people skipping Kohler, he goes down extremely fast and gives a chest which has a slightly higher chance to give rare/exotics than normal mob drops and Anet has specifically stated that they are going to raise that further.

[Prothescar]

Because hitting the dodge button is hard

[Celeras]

Just even attempting to endure the end of world "event" in XIV is renewing my love affair with Tyria's dynamic events. Never leave me, GW2.

[Corrderio]

Out of curiousity, how bad is it?

[Prothescar]

free troll relics raining from the sky

[Corrderio]

Oh right, I heard about that. I thought the final boss itself was the letdown.

[Prothescar]

probably is, I have no idea

I don't even bother on guardian. Stand your ground has a short enough cool down to grant party wide stability every time he readies pull (if you're positioned right) so nobody gets pulled in.
