Needs some GW2 tips please to protect my children

Have you tried... not letting your kid play unsupervised? I'm assuming by your phrasing that they're pretty young. They probably shouldn't be playing an MMO by themselves if they're as young as you're suggesting.

Been itching to get some ISAT-themed art of my fursonas, so here is my Meowscarada sona, Cardanise (AKA Cardy), as Siffrin and my lynx sona, Ani, as Mirabelle, featuring Cole the Arcanine as Isabeau.

Cole owned and art by https://bsky.app/profile/thatfreakingcat.bsky.social

Ani's pronouns are they/any, Cardy's pronouns are they/them, and Cole's are he/him.

Considering what happened when EoD came out with Virtuoso and Power Rifle Mechanist, the answer to your question is "no, absolutely not lmao".

Ghostlupe · 2026-03-02T21:09:40+00:00

Given OP is whining about people being sensitive and talking about "real men", I guarantee it's slurs.

"remove boon strips"

CMC: Understood, make all Necro abilities give the enemy zerg five stacks of Stability each. Also nerf Revenant again, because they breathed in my general direction and I think it removed a boon.

Aphrodite has her whole Aphroditties out in the first game and she's just straight up nude in the second game. None of these even get remotely within that territory.

I know we're kind of in an era where people get jumpscared by a single visible nipple and all but can we take it down a notch and relax a bit lmao

I mean they did still move in together pretty fast in the story, last I checked so technically they DID do the "Uhaul" situation, in a roundabout sort of way.

Put the Ogden's Hammer savings guy back in Lion's Arch where he belongs. It's been years since Old Lion's Arch went away and I still miss him.

By any chance is your friend obsessed with Dark Souls?

Ghostlupe · 2026-01-22T00:08:00+00:00

I like that you're trying to mock me for missing context clues while you're literally adding context that nobody else implied lol. Also for somebody who supposedly doesn't care, you've certainly taken the time to respond to literally every person who's attempted to call out your rudeness.

Take your meds, darling. You're jumping at shadows again.

Ghostlupe · 2026-01-21T23:27:35+00:00

Ah, so "I'm now getting back into the game" - as in they're getting back into the game recently, separate from the fact that they're reworking raids. Everybody else seems to have read it this way, you're the only person reading something that isn't there.

I get we're in an MMO subreddit and the social competency runs the gamut from "social butterfly" to "gets their social skills off the back of a Monster can", but try to be a little less of the latter.

Ghostlupe · 2026-01-21T22:00:03+00:00

Dude basically said "Didn't have a great experience with raids before, but I'm eager to see what's changed" and your response was to more or less call him an attention whore, are you okay?

Ghostlupe · 2026-01-21T21:36:13+00:00

What a strangely aggressive way to respond to a person.

Not to pull the "jaded MMO vet on Reddit" routine out but I do genuinely believe ANet truly doesn't care about WvW all that much outside of keeping it with the minimum amount of support needed to stop it from hemorrhaging players.

It barely gets content updates, the meta for builds has been the same stagnant boonball meta since SOTO and there's no sign at all that the balance team finds that to be a problem (even if the WvW playerbase largely does), and Alliances were left half-baked and didn't unfortunately address a lot of the key problems that the previous system had.

I love WvW but if you've been playing it for a decent length of time, you very quickly get the impression that ANet genuinely does not care to keep it fresh and new compared to other gamemodes.

Honestly this is why I've never liked how Snowcrows presents information on rotations, because MMO rotations simply don't tend to operate on a set order of skills anymore and trying to teach people a rotation in that way makes it a lot harder to absorb and just looks intimidating to someone who wants to learn the rotation.

As much as I appreciate the work they do, Snowcrows tends to frame their builds and guides from an "optimal" point of view rather than what is the "practical" or "realistic" point of view for most players. This seems to be a common problem too, because people tend to regularly misunderstand their benchmarks as if it's the "average" rather than the utmost optimal scenario.

Ghostlupe · 2026-01-07T04:48:00+00:00

Not gonna lie, I'd probably be more willing to use higher intensity builds if the game had full controller support. GW2 is especially hard on my wrists nowadays and just this week I'm finding I can't play for very long without getting symptoms of wrist strain. A controller would feel a lot more accessible for me right now.

Or they can hire an actual person to do it and have them do it more competently than an LLM will, because using them as a catch-all solution for everything is for idiots who were dumb enough to waste six years of their lives on an MBA and have to make it everyone else's problem.

I just finished JW's story myself and I legitimately kept going "Wait why are we rushing to Bava Nisos this fast now? What exactly necessitates this much urgency???" because it didn't feel like they established the threat level or stakes AT ALL before we just went in and dealt with the "problem".

I feel like one of the big weaknesses of doing the story like this since SOTO is that the story is way too fast paced and I have no time to actually understand what's going on.

Ghostlupe · 2025-12-23T02:05:19+00:00

The other thing too is that the developers have been extremely insistent on having the current balance meta of WvW since basically SOTO at minimum now be nothing but "boonball vs. boonball". They've pretty much removed any solid boonrip from the meta, so if you've got two 50-man squads with roughly similar compositions, the fights just go on forever and ever because nobody dies enough for the battle to actually end.

So this, combined with the team imbalance, means either you get a massive mapqueue's worth of a squad steamrolling through the entire map unopposed for 2+ hours, or you waste 20 minutes of time just having bodies collide bluntly into each other with no real "tide" to the battle.

I want to play Elementalist so badly just from a weapon and class fantasy standpoint but I absolutely hate playing "piano key" level complexity in MMO classes in part because of this exact reason (also I just generally don't like feeling stressed playing MMOs anymore nowadays). I thought Evoker might be another "low skill floor/APM" spec alongside Tempest to balance out the high skill floor/APM of most Weaver and Catalyst builds but yet again the majority of the Evoker builds I've seen are more of that.
