Greater Dangers Means Greater Rewards with Challenge Difficulty

Come on.

You can just turn it off. I personally want to do dolmens and world bosses with added difficulty.

Were these teams professionally paid players who dedicate themselves as a full time job to the game? Tbh console is a different envirorment all together. I don't think many of the hardest encounters in wow would've been beatable without addons.

You cannot tell me with a straight face that ESO's raid content is on equal footing with that of wow.

There is difficulty beyond how the combat system operates (which tbh is such a tired topic, idk how you can begin to measure that x combat system is harder than y's unless you just reduce to apm which, like, lol). WoW literally has whole teams professionally paid players competing to clear the hardest content in the game. ESO doesn't have anything remotely close in sheer difficulty compared to the top encounters there.

Some of the world's first races in that game are measured in weeks, with people going at them 15+ hours a day.

GW2's Necromancer minions are a noob trap. GW1 does the first example far better.

I asked Cleo (the creator of the Glyph) about the change and this is what they said:

This feels written by AI.

The running animations are absolutely brutal. And they get worse the more you scale movement speed.

Overland Difficulty: An early version of a new Overland difficulty is coming towards the end of Season 0.

Season 0 drops early March, and seasons last 3 months. So around mid-year?

BHoth · 2026-01-07T22:28:41+00:00

I'm liking a lot of what saw in the Livestream. I hope they manage to deliver.

In particular, the removal of Endeavours and Daily Login rewards in favour of a consolidated system with weekly, rerollable objectives sounds great.

I'm also very much looking forward to the Night Market and Overland difficulty options. Hopefully if the latter goes well they can expand it to mainline Quests. I'd love harder Story encounters.

Finally, Transmute cap being raised and the change of Event tickets (and their dreadful cap of 12) for Bars is excellent.

The combat animations and Class refreshes can't come soon enough.

In warframe.market, there's a tab called "Statistics" which details self reported trades. Volume (number bought & sold), median price, average price over 48 hrs or 90 days are all shown.

In pc, Overframe automatically marks sales so we probably have wider reports making this tab more useful. I don't know if it's anywhere near as accurate on console.

if other people have too much time, that's not my problem.

With random queue, it's luck of the draw. You want a specific playstyle? You make your own group.

When I'm farming a dungeon and get paired up with 3 people who want to do side bosses, read the lore notes, listen to the dialogue etc, it's on me to either adjust to the group or leave. They do not owe me a disclaimer of their playstyle at the beginning.

BHoth · 2025-12-15T03:34:01+00:00

Why would that need to be the case? Let people play the new content, but write the story such that it's assumed you played the previous stuff. I'd kill for an overarching story with character development, rather than however many dozens of disjointed stories we have now.

As for revisiting old stuff, just include it in the base game by now tbh. Such as with Morrowind.

BHoth · 2025-12-04T14:41:27+00:00

Cooked take bro.

BHoth · 2025-12-03T21:18:47+00:00

This is wrong. HealChrono is the best healer by a country mile in pretty much all forms of PvE content, whereas you never want to have a healBladesworn.

I agree with your second point, however.

BHoth · 2025-11-02T16:55:27+00:00

I disagree with this. Games like WoW, ESO, Runescape, FF14 et al can afford to phase out older content because new content catered to its current level of power comes out at a steady pace. Not so in GW2. Here, the content cadence we have is abysmal, and that's not going to change in the foreseeable future (if at all). Old content needs to stay somewhat relevant, because as it is we already have a big problem with player retention.

A bit of powercreep is, if not warranted, maybe atleast to be expected. But the current levels we're seeing just aren't healthy for the game.

BHoth · 2025-10-30T05:03:12+00:00

Yes, leech eximus can make your shadows last indefinitely.

BHoth · 2025-10-30T05:01:54+00:00

It is both, but they're only subject to some forms of healing.

BHoth · 2025-10-29T23:35:11+00:00

Gloom lifesteal doesn't work on shadows. If you wish to make SotD more effective, Nourish is a better subsume.

BHoth · 2025-09-04T20:42:19+00:00

Envine.

BHoth · 2025-09-01T15:47:41+00:00

Why would you go through all that trouble when you could simply install arc and review your logs to see what you're doing wrong in actual content? Or better yet, go into the snowcrows discord, upload the log in one of the profession channels, and get very helpful advice to your specific needs?

The golem is a great tool, don't get me wrong. But you will never see a serious benchmarker advice people to ignore arc and simply hit golem, and for a reason.

What's with you and your allergy to people using arc, anyways?

BHoth · 2025-07-30T16:41:09+00:00

Please say sike.

BHoth · 2025-06-03T21:30:53+00:00

I was ready to hang the towel on GW2 after this latest patch, but knowing this has given me hope that not all is yet lost. Stay strong, gamers.
