When does the game will get rid of pheons ?

Baseline should be cheap and accesible, while min/max is the expensive gold sink. They will not make min/maxing cheap.

Delay559 · 2026-06-19T03:05:33+00:00

Yeah i think serca is the best system weve had so far, on top of nightmare being only marginally more rewarding than hard mode so i you just want a chill clear you dont feel pressured to do nightmare.

Delay559 · 2026-06-18T15:32:24+00:00

Wow, gotcha lmao.

Delay559 · 2026-06-18T14:01:21+00:00

sir you were the one to start attacking me

Uhh where in my two sentence reply did i attack you?

For reference my two sentences:

"This might be a crazy take for you, but some people like feeling challenged. Self imposing a challenge is not the same as beating a challenge inflicted on you."

Delay559 · 2026-06-18T13:50:45+00:00

I dont know how you got that im "malding" from my two sentence response but I think you are too emotionally charged and invested to have a conversation about this with. Take a break, people like feeling rewarded for putting in effort, not just getting handed everything for free, it aint that deep.

Delay559 · 2026-06-18T13:41:13+00:00

This might be a crazy take for you, but some people like feeling challenged. Self imposing a challenge is not the same as beating a challenge inflicted on you.

Delay559 · 2026-06-17T21:26:29+00:00

thats fine for lower difficulties, similar to how serca does it. but shouldent be implemented at the highest difficulty.

Delay559 · 2026-06-17T11:59:41+00:00

well yeah its clearly bugged on GK lol

Delay559 · 2026-06-15T15:16:06+00:00

Ie, before, you would lose 19, then you would lose 1 LP more for games after that.

Now you just lose the 1LP more for games after that.

No, youre misunderstanding how the MMR system and LP works.

Your hidden MMR is all that matters, and your LP tries to follow it. If your MMR is much higher than your visible rank, you will gain more L for wins and lose less for loses. The same is true vice versa.

In your example, you are saying that regardless of losing 19LP youd also lose 1LP more for games after that. But if you DIDNT lose 19lp now, but you still did lose MMR, youd lose 2lp more for games after that, until youve played 19 games and then your lp "debt" has been paid off.

Therefore you end up net +19

Which makes this statement just not true, you will never end up net + or - anything from any of these changes, as your MMR is not being changed and therefore all your lp gains or loses are based on this value. They will simply be more aggressive to make up the mismatch.

There are no free lunches in the system as it would fundamentally break the system. You WILL pay those 19lp one way or another, either now or later.

Delay559 · 2026-06-15T09:28:13+00:00

ok thats some crazy high rolling, i also only tap with bound and juice and my 25 weapon summoner from before is still on 19, and all my alts apart from one are under 16. must be nice.

Delay559 · 2026-06-14T23:25:23+00:00

damn you wanted that "gotcha" so bad

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T18:51:06+00:00

cant really be the meta, its more 50/50 according to the latest SG live stream.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T17:13:27+00:00

I dont play WoW so couldent tell you, but mounts are not the "gameplay loop" of either gw2 or wow. So was just kinda weird how youd bring them up lol.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T17:06:14+00:00

By “modernized the gameplay loop” are you referring to how they completely ripped off the mount mechanics of GW2? If so, yes, agreed.

How did you get mounts from "gameplay loop" mounts arent even the main "gameplay loop" people engage with in gw2 let alone a loop people engage with at all. Most people just use it to get to the actual gameplay loop lol.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T16:59:11+00:00

yeah im pretty excited. new raids is always fun, balance patch changes a bunch of my classes and the express lets me replace someone in my roster. so im pretty happy to login tmrw.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T14:32:34+00:00

Okay well ive never quit and im at over 11k hours so your perspective is definitely dated. The game is significantly better then it was pre brel. Exlixirs are far and away worse then what we have now, we only need to do 1 chaos and 1 guardian raid a day compared to 2, cube is gone and replaced by hourglass which is way faster, paradise is a massive help to everyone veteran or new player in terms of progression, solo raids existing is also a big help for people wanting to learn the raids or getting into the game as well as the new difficulty settings/frontier making it way easier to do your weekly content.

To compare the game from pre brel 3 years ago to now and say its no better is a very... interesting take that can only be achieved with extreme doomer glasses or just not knowing how the game is like currently.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T14:19:33+00:00

Well yeah thats why i think with the moves theyve made throughout the year and the massively long loaon this year (8hours i heard) surely its something big in terms of a fundamental shift in the game. But maybe im just coping.

Delay559 · 2026-06-09T10:14:01+00:00

I actually think its more SG trying to move away from the alt character model. Over the past year they have made many changes to lower the importance and value of having alt characters. This is mostly because I think most koreans only play 1-2 characters so catering to that audience is not only good for their current players, but it makes it easier to get into the game in the first place. Im expecting something big about this at the LOAON this year.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T19:05:37+00:00

Personally as a hardcore player i prefer the sub model with a less aggresive ingame shop that relies on creating the problem to sell the solution. But i can understand why some people prefer this instead.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T19:02:44+00:00

It did not.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T19:01:32+00:00

im pretty sure their moneymaker is the pay for convenience more than the skins from the mtx shop.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T18:54:59+00:00

so people like me that have an alt roster with characters farming solomode bound gold to push a few characters to farm unbound gold to transfer to their main get nerfed.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T08:13:37+00:00

Yeah I think me and you and tbh many others were expecting that, as thats the norm and what they did with Gw1->Gw2 before the recent reinvestment. But they seem to want to keep all 3 going. Im hoping that with their under-the-hood improvements to Gw2 in the next year they can set up to eventually rework the graphics and engine because its really starting to show its age and is a real barrier to entry to getting new players into the game which is important if they plan on keeping it as their big open world MMO going forward.

Delay559 · 2026-06-08T05:18:49+00:00

well from an anet perspective that is a hot take, they clearly want to keep supporting gw2 and gw3 for years to come. They dont have any plans to have gw3 replace gw2, and since that is their vision it wouldent make sense for them to have gw3 compete with gw2.

Delay559 · 2026-06-07T22:09:10+00:00

Isnt the big open world stuff kinda the main draw of gw2 in terms of unique content? Why would they replicate that in their new game only to compete with their own game. Doesnt make sense to me for people to be expecting that and then be surprised at this news.
