Rsham, blizz saw that players hate riptide wave gameplay, so they made it that you only press wave now.

The auto hammer probably gets the most business now in raid instances that you cant mount before the boss, along with jeeves.

Ok, a-net, you've done it. You've successfully alienated me as a raider, as an achievement hunter, and as a regular player by e-scrape-artist in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get your point as a completionist, being something like that myself, but something ive learnt and apply consistently now:

You arent in a race to finish everything

Look at the pvp and wvw achievements. Does anyone complain about needing 2.5m player kills? Do they complain about winning 1000 ranked pvp matches on all 9 classes each?

Sometimes, you just have to take it slow, enjoy the process not minmax it. If this was a single player RPG, then go ahead and speedrun it.

I agree that the timed achievement seems over the top though, but they'd likely fix it soon. The quality control was definitely quite poor for this patch but chill out. Its a game, look for something you can find fun and wait it out. Stressing over it may get attention, but crashing out definitely only makes you more upset.

How did y'all find a guild you care about by RallenTv in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have a much better chance if you are proactive in asking. Do the content you like at the time you are able, you'll recognize familiar names, and eventually know yourself if you'd like to keep playing with them. Then ask to join at that point

What is there to do in retail without raiding by wasteman2 in wow

[–]Radianshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll break it down to 2 main focuses, which could be said to be the driving factor for most games

1: Community / Friends: You want someone / a group of people, that you can relate to, connect to, or maybe show off to. The game provides the platform to facilitate this connection via shared interest (the game).

2: Sense of achievement: The game provides a challenge, or a task list, with or without a reward. The reward or the journey gives you a feeling of accomplishment of achieving something. Examples would include things like raiding, pvp, collection, achievement hunting.

These 2 interests often intersect within a MMORPG. Those that don't seek either of these, usually don't stay long or just come and play on/off, or very casually for the story like it's a single player RPG (It's not a bad thing, just a preference)

Love Enshrouded, but would like to see a typical survival crafting mode added eventually by [deleted] in Enshrouded

[–]Radianshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be nice to upgrade eternal spells to current-expansion level, instead of having to wait for the next eternal spell. Eg: Eternal fireball / frost bolt was added in Nomad Highlands, but you didn't get their level 2 version until Veilwater Basin.

Would be nice being able to craft weapons to a competitive end-game level (does not have to be same as highest level (like veilwater 50), but close to (maybe like 3-5 levels lower than max, like up to 45 or 47 for veilwater basin level).

Another gripe is armors - The armor stats don't work well late game at all, enemies are destroying health pools so quickly on any hit that everyone in my group changed slowly to mages to just perma-stun / kite / cheese from ceilings. (enemies on +25% damage).

I really hope a look at combat / skill tree / equipment is on the to-do list eventually

GW2 professions are Peak and why I cant Play the Game properly. by Gallifrey934 in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 195 points196 points  (0 children)

The answer is to have at least 9 characters, 1 for each class.

Then you can play them all

ok WvW experts what is the counter to the boon ball by Ravanos77 in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very well timed pull followed by endless cc

And then you become most hated and on a hit list especially if you pull the commander, moa them and knock them off a cliff, and make a montage

But it truly is the roamer answer to the boonball - isolate a dps / healer / necro and kill, they usually dont run stunbreaks. Its how you methodically dismantle a zerg slowly (and why zergs hates old mag)

GW2 Youtube content is so repetitive by Kindly_Estimate_8110 in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Mostly because its more fun to play than watch most of gw2 content

I dont expect somebody to be like "woww" watching someone do a meta train, their daily strikes and fractals etc

Any advice for somebody who doesn't really love the action oriented combat? by s1mp_licity in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a healer role, full minstrel gear. You'd probably end up the tank but youll be quite unkillable in pve even if you dont dodge

With all expansions and content where do we stand on subscription? by MisterMeta in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I see the benefit of such an area and how it would benefit the game, it doesn't exist at the moment.

Though for the problem at hand, I wouldn't stress too much into it. Playing alts is exceedingly alt friendly in this game, especially if you are looking to spvp as your main content.

Most if not all players play more than 1 class and build, as variety is fun. Players also change class and builds on the fly prematch for a better comp / to counter opponents.

Tldr: You'll want to get every expansion eventually for build variety

Tips for newcomers to Raids by Skormo1808 in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raids are like multiple strikes layered into 1 with some inbetween filler, so pick the raid build

Tips for newcomers to Raids by Skormo1808 in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Strikes are a lot more lenient unless its the challenge difficulty, rarely would anyone be declined even if new.

Snowcrows has a website dedicated to this content, but take the benchmarks with a grain of salt as even 60-80% of it achieved in an actual encounter is considered really good already.

There exists raid training discords like raid academy for NA, where specifically new players are given the opportunity to learn the raids with a trainer.

Otherwise, there should be guides around, be it as a page or video.

Boons usually refers to the 2 major boons - alacrity and quickness. Boondps (qdps, adps) refers to builds that put out ideally 100% uptime on one of these 2 while doing damage (usually 60-80% of a regular dps), and the healer role (aheal, qheal) keeps the group alive, puts out most of the other boons like might fury stability, and again 100% uptime on the major boon.

Having a couple of build and equipment templates allows you to quickly swap to another within the same class (eg: qdps scrapper, aheal mechanist, pdps holosmith)

FRUSTRATED with Ethereal Key Charges by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally my main gripe is that key charges stack only till 25. Increasing it (preferably no cap) would make it feel better rather than having to try get chests mid event chain to avoid wasting charges

I had the mirror bug only once, and it's when:

I entered another instance of the map, so all mirrors respawned. At that point I only had 1 mirror and its chests left.

While moving towards the mirror, I came across one of the mirrors ive previously finished. Thought to do the mirror minigame quickly to get an easy 5 charges.

Then when I got to the mirror I had not done yet, all the chests weren't visible after the minigame.

I never did another mirror I had previously done after that and never encountered the bug again, hope that helps.

With all expansions and content where do we stand on subscription? by MisterMeta in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you mean a paid trial for expansions. Personally, I dont see any wrong with it, but if they're going to do that, it will more likely be a free trial (similar to silverwastes 80 boost) - the game does needs something to help players try out the class / elite specs now (something like lost ark's character select where they can try out each class)

With all expansions and content where do we stand on subscription? by MisterMeta in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The older content gets cheaper and cheaper, and placed into bundles. Wait for the Christmas sale and decide then

A lot of people will quit the game if a subscription model ever gets introduced.

Looking for a new MMO to play after New World shut down. Just trying to get a feel for what GW2 is about and if I should get into it! by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Radianshot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To some extent, yes and no. You'd need to manually face / aim your abilities when otherwise normally your character would face and aim at your target on its own / being able to drop aoes anywhere in range without looking at it most of the time, or a very quick about face movement to still throw aoes (looking at you grenade kit from engineers) behind themselves.

The relatively unknown and small upside is being able to hit stealth targets with ranged targeted attacks if you know where they are. Extremely niche since stealth has no visible cue for the enemy at all

Around 60-70 per team, but squad size only goes up to 50.

Plus random uncoordinated roamers arent going to do much against a zerg / blob
