by then, the evil communist nazis will have enslaved all of europe and most of us will have bigger problems.

Turns out the evil communists are the dredge. They even have an event where you have to hunt down one of their commissars. And the miners praised me for "collecting for the collective" when I was disguised in a mining suit in a mission.

Again... I dont even like this shit up until now and its fairly safe to say im not a fanboy and you still sound like wannabe edgy faggots. The lion chests dont mean jack fucking shit and i as a level 10 retard have already gained ways of openeing them without even trying. There are huge issues with this game but the ones you bring up are fucking retarded and unimportant

Edit: here ill give you something to complain about so you can stop sounding like uninformed shitheads. Group shit turns into HUGE clusterfucks of particle effects. Im not sure how much strategy there is (skill wise there is a lot.. I dont know how it pans out though) cooldowns are to low and there isnt even a such thing as a basic attack. Your cash shop shit is BS. Feel free to ignore this for a page then bring it up like you knew all along. At least whisper touched on it although it was a minor point

 

[Whisper]

more challenging than the initial dungeons of every other MMORPG I've played (at least the 30 one).

You didnt play many MMO it seems.

 

[Ulminati]

See thesoup, Menckenstein and Whisper? DakaSha shows you how it's done. He's posting something that's an actual issue with the game instead of latching on to some peripheral shit that noone who's playing cares about and making himself look like an idiot. GW2 is not perfect and most of the people who are enjoying it right now never claimed it was anything but the same as guildwars 1 but slightly prettier with a few new doodads. And no more instancing all over the place.

At least in the Diablo 3 thread we could post things like people getting disconnected from their single player games, items being stolen by session spoof exploits, the fact that battle.net stores your passwords case-insentitice and truncated to the first 8 characters. (In the light of the recent reveal that someone ran off with the battle.net user emails and password hashes, that's sure turned out well for blizzard). Not to mention people talking about selling and buying items for hundreds of dollars after RMAH came out, complete with screenshots and blizzard taking a cut out of every trade. We didn't go "OMG there's an option to pay money to have your sword colored blue! JEWS!" like some sad fuckfaces in this thread.

Aw man. Level 30 is coming up. I guess I need to spec out of my promethium pally build for dungeons. It's a bit of a glass cannon atm, decked out in +power and +condition damage gear

Sorry I don't have the game so I can't offer my experience, in keeping with traditions of the D3 and ME3 threads I'm just poking fun at the dumb shit in this game but something about this piece of shit makes people really defensive.

Besides, there's an option to buy something to have your sword colored blue! JEWS!

Korean Defense Force really working overtime here.

Well, at least you've now established beyond any shadow of doubt we can ignore anything you're posting from now on since you're admitting to not even trying to find out if the nonsense you're spouting has any basis in truth.

 

[Zed]

You didnt play many MMO it seems.

Beta/trial only: Warhammer, The Secret World, LOTRO, MO, Vanguard, EVE
Retail: EQ2, WoW+all exps, AoC, SWTOR, Rift, GW2
Asian Retail: Helbreath, Cabal, Lineage 2, Legend of Mir, Aion

I've probably forgot one or two. Out of all these, GW2's lvl 30 dungeon has been the most challenging "starter dungeon". The lvl 40 one was relatively easy though - mostly RP.

Now tell me, Whisper, what level in GW2 are you now and what did you think of the dungeons yourself? You say they are easy and dumbed down yet you write very little of your experience?

 

[Zed]

Aw man. Level 30 is coming up. I guess I need to spec out of my promethium pally build for dungeons. It's a bit of a glass cannon atm, decked out in +power and +condition damage gear

Crowd control/stuns and heals are very nice to have.

Protip that I realized near the end of my run, really helped us out in one of the later boss fights:

Spoiler

Boulders can be picked up and thrown to knock down bosses.

In order to criticize shitty gimmicky piecemeal gaming you need to present proof of purchase? Listen I know you're very butthurt about this and are bosom buddies with the devs but I've not said anything that wasn't 100% accurate.

 

[Excidium]

Hey, what are those purple weapons on the pvp weapons vendor?

 

[thesoup]

Someone edit this so it matches the Korean Defense Squad™ in this topic.

 

[Ulminati]

Purple color or purple currency? The purple currency is karma. you get that from doing world events. They pop up all over the place.

 

[Excidium]

I'm talking about the purple named weapons on one of the tabs of the pvp vendor. They have like, lower damage than the normal yellow ones.

I'm talking about the purple named weapons on one of the tabs of the pvp vendor. They have like, lower damage than the normal gold[fixed, raw news] ones.

that's because purple is a quality below gold.

white: bare item
blue: common
purple: uncommon
gold: rare
green: unique

See, I haven't got any of those in my current setup.
I got a small AoE that grants retaliation, an AoE that purges conditions/damages enemies, a blind and a shitload of damage/burn. I don't actually have any CC to speak of.

I'm considering going shield+mace. then switching utility skill sto Save yourselves (draw all conditions from allies onto yourself) and contemplation of Purity (convert all conditions you suffer into boons). Possibly with signet of mercy as an in-combat instant revive to an ally. I really, really need to find a good place to look up other peoples guardian builds and experiences. Hoaxmetal claimed he was running wand/torch, but I dont' see wands as an entry in guardian weapon skills.

What is their purpose then, if better ones are offered on the same vendor for no cost?

I meant scepter/torch

 

[Ulminati]

Hehe. I'll find a scepter and try it out then.
Still need a GW2 version of tankspot though.

This information is wrong

All my alts.

Only i could write something like this: because its a lie, right?

"PVE: - Most quests or events are "kill x number" or "Get x of y item" which gets really really boring. - The story has NO meaning, I feel like punching my character and killing all the characters I help when I do the story. - Dynamic events are a joke. What's a dynamic event ? It's a quest in an area that is repeated every 5 minutes. - I do like how the story changes based on the choices made, but the story itself is really bad. PvP: - sPvP is fun at first, but it gets boring. Too repetitive"

"Well... To be bluntly honest... This game is a Pay2Win Korean Microtransaction Grind MMORPG, masked behind the Guild Wars name. You can buy XP Boosts... I mean really? Asian MMO written all over it. Not too mention the crafty way they try to hide their "buy gold item shop". Basically you can buy "Gems" from the "Gem Store" for real money, then take these gems and convert them to ingame gold to buy whatever you want."

"Events are a cluster **** of nonsense and don't scale with the number of people. So basicly you get 5 centaurs for a 40+ group of people"

"Seriously, GW2 is a totally failed game. Boring quests like any other cookie cutter MMO, collect and kill, then deliver useless junk to cheap forgettable characters. Combat system is like 2003 WoW. Another medieval setting, laughable story, pathetic voiceacting, laggy as hell and graphics look like from 2006 at best. Cash shop will rip you off with treasure chest keys. No way, keep away from this one"

 

[Ulminati]

You do come across as an incredibly butthurt TSW fanboy Whisper. I mean, look at your recent postings. 25 of your last 30 posts were in this thread, whining. You're practically the next gaudaost. But then, it shouldn't come as a surprise considering your lovely warning tab on your user profile. I see you managed to accumulate one on jun 18th for "Being Utterly Retarded"

In happier news, I hit lv 30 with my guardian and finally got both my armorsmithingand weaponsmithing past 100 so I can craft lv30 gear as well. Time to find dem dungeons that Zed said were so hard and see if I get raped.

that's the way it was in gw1. gw2 uses grey for junk, white for common, blue for fine, green for masterwork, gold, orange, red for legendary and purple for mystic supposedly, with purple being kind of an oddball, apparently.
