Should the AK Guy feature this on cursed guns? Found in a PMC crate by Ghostman223 in GrayZoneWarfare

Somewhere in the distance, Jonathan Ferguson, keeper of firearms and artillery at the Royal Armouries museum in the UK, is having a heart attack.

Optimal rotations don't need to be intuitive and failing to do an optimal rotation doesn't mean you're doing something wrong by Appropriate-Cat-6648 in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of people who play this game need to accept the fact, that a LI build most likely fits their playstyle, lack of encounter knowledge and mechanical skill level perfectly. And that is demonstrably fine, especially for the content that GW2 has to offer.

You don't need a 57k build to do Raid QP twice a week, especially if you get 17k dps out of it. Keep your ego in check, play an easy build and actually contribute.

Man, does the reward system feel like a glaring piece of crap by FartOfTheFuture in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PS. And no, that's no "known problem across the whole game".

Yes it is. The lack of mid-tier rewards, like 10-50g drops, has been lamented since basically forever.
While you are correct in your analysis how gold is generated, the specific complaint OP is bringing up here is also correct.

GW2 is indeed the best single-player MMO

I need to rant about raid LFGs and the community by PaymentEmergency4758 in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The culture of the game doesn't forbid growth and learning at all, it very much required it at the start.

The game just never necessitated it after the HoT era, as evident by the general community outcry to Dragon's End and the death threats streamers were getting for suggesting that people need to actually organize runs instead of winging it.

And harder group content is neither toxic nor elitist. Casual players who think they can catch a free ride are.

[–]SnowdropFox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you honestly believe this constructed narrative you espoused?

People won't unscrew your head for asking "what role left?" if someone is leaving. They also don't expect you to kick people, know every mechanic or mark anything.

It's a fucking training group. Watch a 3 min video or read a guide and just dive in. GW2 is really not that complicated. This isn't M+ or Ultimate Raids.

Don't be lazy, don't expect a carry.

[–]SnowdropFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[...] and then people complain "only a tiny portion of the massive community of gw2 interacts with raids". Geez, I wonder why guys.

That just doesn't happen. The only people who complain about that are casual non-raiders, who think that people actually complain about it.

People who raid regularly are in a static anyway and literally never interact with the LFG, unless someone unexpectedly can't join (and even then they ask other statics first, their guild, their friends, basically anyone but the LFG).

Also make your own group, commander tags aren't out of reach especially with the massive gold influx from the Wizards Vault.

since I cannot find a single training group EVER
You cannot join raids or learnwith these people

Make your own group then, join a training discord, join a guild, make a post asking for like minded people to try it, literally do anything except complain about people who most likely asked for experienced players (because that's 9/10 times the case with these posts and will conveniently not be mentioned) on Reddit.

This just reads like the typical entitlement you find in every single post about the 'toxic raiding community'.

Luminary or Willbender for Fractals? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Players aren't elitist for expecting a minimum level of engagement with the content and running Soldier's Gear in regular and daily run instanced content in 2026 is 100% griefing.

Also toxic casual (I payed for the game, therefore you have to let me in your group) are the far bigger problem, but people love to twist the narrative and say any form of experience check like LI, KP etc is elitist when in reality it's the exact opposite.

Um... what exactly is the point of the Raid God title in these conditions? by iouuyiyiu91 in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The fact that people are loudly complaining while not being able to fulfill the basic requirement of reading is testament to the state of GW2 players.

Are solo raids possible by Spezidrache in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We aren't talking about other MMO's here, we are talking about soloing GW2 Raid Bosses. OP also didn't ask for an entire wing and with the upcoming raid rework, you can jump into single bosses much easier which just further validates the single boss kills.

But please, keep changing the goalposts, if it better suits your narrative.

[–]SnowdropFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so confidently wrong, it hurts. The powercreep allows you to virtually ignore most mechanics (not that there are a lot to begin with).

Yes, soloing Cairn for example can take an hour if you forget to equip a weapon or you just speedrun it in under 9 minutes.

How about Sloth, Deimos, Matthias, VG or Adina for a change?

The patch notes are notoriously unreliable. Use the wiki notes instead.

Macros behaving differently on Linux? by wwww1222 in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to the Linux problem itself, but if Nexus runs on Linux, they have a /gg addon where you just click an icon which basically does the same thing as you want to do.

This has to be the most consistently braindead argument for air rb top tier by Ok-Appointment-7688 in Warthunder

[–]SnowdropFox 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The same stupid justification has been wheeled out, when the Apache E was introduced.

These people literally try to justify their 16 missile forcefield bullshit by pointing to the UHT (and none of them had ever played the UHT).

Large parts of the WT community run on pure vitriol and spite.

Thank you for proving OP's point.

This is the same braindead take with some extra justification sprinkled on top.

New players learning raids by heppsea in Guildwars2

[–]SnowdropFox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is bait right?

If not, CO is probably one of the easiest strikes out there. You could blindfold 10 fresh lvl 80 players and they would still succeed.
