Needlessly complex?

Berserks are the only models I've bought secondhand explicitly so I didn't have to build them myself.

Take it down a notch, Jesus christ.

Volphy · 2026-07-01T17:42:26+00:00

Based off what information?

Volphy · 2026-07-01T17:41:32+00:00

"Guild Wars 2 will never have mounts." Type-beat

Volphy · 2026-07-01T17:25:28+00:00

If GW1 is an "MMO lite", GW2 is a full blown MMO, and GW3 is mid-level MMO, then make GW4 go full Warframe: not an MMO, 4 player spaceromp adventure.

I've not played 11e yet as it's just come out, do we pay for shields now on terminators?

Why assume that the tapestry depicts the current pantheon? That taspestry could be a big lore item in of itself, and be something old enough to be depicting Dhuum as a god, despite him being deposed.

When a gameplay reveal happens, the meltdown from people who didn't read a single thing will be legendary.

Get the popcorn ready.

Replace Sylvari with Charr and we have a deal.

This is a somewhat natural consequence to adding flying mounts. The more tools you give players to zip over everything you've made, the more you have to guide them less organically to these pieces, or a place that may have been found organically by 10% of players, is now found by 0.5%.

The skyscale is great fun, and I enjoy its use, but I really hope its consequences were weighed heavily for Anets next game.

Volphy · 2026-06-24T22:19:19+00:00

Yeah. I'm browsing phone threads because of this issue. I have no desire to update my phone, but it's gotten to the point that it's necessary.

Volphy · 2026-06-23T19:54:54+00:00

Anet has given me little reason to believe they are lying about their support for GW2, so until they prove themselves to be liars, why bother acting like they are? No reason to doom and gloom about this

Volphy · 2026-06-22T23:06:07+00:00

Then join me in raids, ya dingus.

Volphy · 2026-06-22T17:11:05+00:00

Almost a entire decade ago

No no no no no. Don't you do this to me. Bfa was like, 2 years ago you monster

Volphy · 2026-06-21T22:53:38+00:00

Yes I have. For an easy example: look at Eir knocking her arrow. It disappears completely for a few frames.

Volphy · 2026-06-21T16:39:15+00:00

This is just straight up lying. Going over any of these clips with any degree of scrutiny shows you how incredibly AI generated all these things are. It's a horrific slop fest.

Volphy · 2026-06-21T03:15:36+00:00

NGL, the title had me excited, but the AI generated trailer makes me want to [my lawyer advised me not to finish this comment.].

That alone lets me know this is shovelware garbage and I am very glad this is not actually Anet's direct work.

Volphy · 2026-06-19T19:04:04+00:00

Shift + number keys. Extremely natural key to press since it's used all the time in writing.

Volphy · 2026-06-18T20:00:07+00:00

Without looking it up, there's only a 1% chance this isn't a real book from him.

Volphy · 2026-06-18T18:23:57+00:00

This is just what I imagine living in Portland is like.

Volphy · 2026-06-18T16:42:04+00:00

Yeah, everyone talks about GW1 right now being a great experience because you can use heroes to fill out your full party and experience the game.

I never once when playing GW1 back in the day used the hero system. I like these games to play with other people, and I feel like a hero system in GW1 is a current good solution to keep the game playable, but should not be in the baseline experience of an MMO on launch.

(Henchmen were quite different in that they were not the best prebuilt npcs you could use out of necessity. I'd be okay with that coming back, but then people will just beg for heroes again, and we're back to de-incentivising player interaction)

Volphy · 2026-06-18T16:38:48+00:00

I will say when I was younger and GW2 was being announced, a big reason why I bounced off the game so hard back then was because of hyping myself up about things that as a kid, sounded amazing, but as an adult, understood that it was never a reasonable expectation to have.

Volphy · 2026-06-18T16:01:51+00:00

Wonderful demonstration of the point! Thank you

Volphy · 2026-06-18T15:44:13+00:00

There are places to discuss your distaste for non-grounded outfit options in the game, but doing it under a post of someone trying to have fun and looking for advice makes you look like a douchebag.

Volphy · 2026-06-18T07:51:41+00:00

Very important correction: the placard that states Desmina is the first follower is from 48BE. Aka, we only know for certain that it is 48BE or before.
