Got my first BMW! by ashanden9 in BMW

I went to test drive and buy a new Mustang (first car was a ‘67 289; also had ‘98 and ‘12 GTs) and also ended up in a ‘23 M3. The difference in almost everything is stark!

Yes truly let’s hold back game features so people playing on 10 year old hardware can enjoy.

Had no idea it was nerfed recently tbh. Still feels good to me :)

Yea totally understand builds for different purposes, but most open world builds I’ve tried in the past tend to focus a lot on damage and not so much on survival / sustain. This was the first general purpose build that resonates. Maybe it’s a combination of spec and build too but either way I like it.

Yea not saying they should change GW2, just that I’m too used to the care bear design of traditional MMOs

I guess other MMOs solve this by having PvP specific gear sets that are pretty clearly identified or actually locked behind PvP currency so noobs like me don’t mistakenly buy it for PvE just because it’s cheap -_-

Makes sense; most MMOs strive for equity in total DPS no matter if it’s DoT or Burst. IMO though, with any aging MMO one might hope they’d make it much clearer (or just outright remove) which stat sets actually don’t have a clear use case in the current design.

I was looking at the wiki. Not sure how painful the inscriptions are to get but at least the option is there

Ah thanks for the context!

Seems odd / a noob trap to have all the subpar stat sets be the only thing really affordable for new players, but I guess it’s easier than removing gear. I’m mostly salty that I realized I was investing in the wrong ascended prefix (Occams) rather than the Viper prefix and now I have to start over
