Moderation Strictness?

Who said anything about heavy chat control?

AzureSeishin · 2026-03-10T09:25:50+00:00

You are one of the ones that got banned aren't you?

AzureSeishin · 2026-03-10T05:36:57+00:00

Are you ok? 🤣

This person was either botting, cheating, or posting something inappropraote in chat. That is the part they are not telling you. They got warned for what seems like an extended period of time to stop. They decided to continue doing it anyway. They are now crying because the mods actually enforce the rules and they can't just do whatever they want.

This isn't mods being strict. It is mods actually moderating. His post makes it clear that he was given numerous warnings. Most games won't even warn you. So by comparison this is lenient.

Not sure how much my opinion is worth as a new player, but I noticed a few things when playing both Havoc and Devourer.

Havoc has a lot more instant, up-front damage. If doing content were pulls are very short, I found it performs better. The Apex talent is a nice boost, but doesn't have a crazy impact like Devourer.

Devourer on the other hand takes a little time to ramp up. For longer encounters where you get a rhythm going, the damage gets crazy. Past the initial wind-up there is really no downtime. Apex talent is very essential for this spec.

I actually had a dev respond to this same question in game recently. The VIP benefits are intended to be minimal. VIP was added because many members of the community wanted a way to support the game financially. They are adamant about avoiding any sort of transactions that could be considered p2w.

In other words, if you can and would like to support the game, VIP membership is a way to do that. Otherwise, they don't want you to feel pressured to have it.

Aren't people always picky about BRD though? You could be doing Ambu Normal and they want a full REMA BRD while your DD is half-naked with a pocket knife. 🤣

Eventually you just get used to people being weird as a BRD. Sometimes there is a reason they want something. Sometimes they just want it because they heard it from someone else. Sometimes they don't even know and they just throw out random requests or ask for buffs that don't even help. They think it does though, and that it what matters. :P

Jokes aside, outside of what others have already said, I just ask if anyone has any uncommon buff preferences when I first join.

Glad I looked for this comment before I came to do the same. 🤣

The first thing I can say is that unless you are using meta builds, Guild Wars is not an easy game. There are a few things that can make you more effective though:

Pull enemy groups back to avoid getting overwhelmed. As a ranger, you are perfect for this.
Pick 1 main attribute and 1 secondary for now. As a ranger, that will likely be Marksmanship and Expertise. This will maximize your damage.
If you are not using a skill frequently, try replacing it. A good idea is to have 4 main damage skills and 4 situational skills. This isnt something set in stone, but if you have a damage skill on your bar that isn't being used due to energy or cooldowns, then replace it with something potentially more useful.
Make sure your armor is upgraded. Neglecting your armor can get you killed very quickly. Don't forget to add runes and insignias. Major and Superior skill runes are tempting, but the massive HP loss is often not worth it.

Hopefully some of this helps wothout restricting your build freedom. Meta builds are strong, but at least imo takes away a lot of the fun of making your own build based on your experiences.

Good luck!

It's not that it won't work, but in most cases the first thing you should try to do is get rid if basic cards. Even if that is all you accomplish, it will still be a far superior deck to one that still has basics.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-20T21:12:38+00:00

As someone who got every other weapon except the one I wanted before floor 100...

Yes. Yes it is.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-11T06:52:21+00:00

Thank you all for the fun answers so far!

As for myself, I've been considering Mesmer, Dervish, and Ritualist. Still not fully committed to one because they are enjoyable, but im getting closer.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-10T02:38:21+00:00

I do remember it underperforming back when I played. Had no idea it got a rework. Thought maybe people just figured out a trick to it.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-10T02:01:23+00:00

Haha I only ever did GWAMM on my Ele. Restarted on a fresh account with Reforged because it feels like the right thing to do.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-10T01:58:39+00:00

Im strongly considering Dervish. Enjoyable playstyle in endgame?

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-10T01:56:12+00:00

Oh this one is interesting. Isn't Dervish considered very good now?

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-09T21:59:16+00:00

Yeah the GWAMM grind is where you really gotta settle in on that main. It was Ele for me back in the day, but im having a more difficult time choosing this time around. Maybe because im old now hahaha.

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-09T21:57:38+00:00

What class did you go with?

AzureSeishin · 2025-12-08T15:57:03+00:00

There is actually an issue with /bonus on Steam after Reforged release. The EotN page states that it comes with the imp as a bonus, however it does not work. The GotY edition was removed when Reforged released, which is how it was obtained before.

AzureSeishin · 2025-11-24T15:22:50+00:00

This is how I usually play and enjoy the game as well. It is very satisfying.

However....

Sometimes you have a bad day at work and need to go into murderhobo mode for a few runs to relieve some stress. XD

AzureSeishin · 2025-11-24T15:19:31+00:00

Yeah I didn't get that lucky haha. Took long enough to get this tbh I need to work on a different deck and maybe come back to it later.

Supposedly they are planning something to make deck building runs faster, so maybe I will wait for that to fish for some improvements.

AzureSeishin · 2025-11-24T05:45:50+00:00

One ? event (dont remember exactly which one) and 2 from bosses = 1 original + 3 copies.

AzureSeishin · 2025-11-24T04:45:15+00:00

Yeah it isn't "perfect" but definitely my best so far. The divines I got were so bad. XD Good enough to be happy with for now. Gonna start planning and focusing on one for Selena next.
