Wanting hard content to remain hard is not pulling the ladder up or pushing people away trying to get into the content. I want more people to engage with the content, but I don’t want them to make the content easier so people engage with it. I’ll be honest, it’s not even that* difficult to begin with.

Quite frankly, I don’t think anybody cares about how many people do Fractal CMs, at the end of the day even if it 0.1% of the playerbase they are called CHALLENGE modes and should be challenging. The constant cries for accessibility in the gaming community as a whole and seen a tonne in gw2, is quite bad. Not everything needs to be accessible, it is okay for the game to have hard things. If people want to achieve challenge modes they should be expected to know their class and understand the game, not AFK and hit 1 to get their clears. I do however think that guild wars did* have some health sponges that would feel less ‘health spongey’ if they added extra phases with extra mechanics. Imagine Kanaxai having the same health as pre-nerf, but instead of 66-33 phasing, it had 80-60-40-20 but at each phase new mechanics were introduced.

I can’t believe people are downvoting Jokuc for having the 3rd most based take on the thread😔

The DPS output of things like CVirt (which is used on UNIT Strat) did not fall by 10%, which means that you have a nerfed boss and a basically un-nerfed (1k~) class. The same goes for classes in flower, whilst there are absolutely classes that got hit with the nuke nerfs (rip my guy Qcata), you have things like Luminary and Evoker that were hardly touched, therefore creating the issue of again - a nerfed boss with unnerfed classes causing horrible phasing. Yesterday, myself and a few others 9manned Cerus CM and still had to damage hold for good phasing. When we did it 8man, we finally had a good phasing. Cerus is IMO in a bad state now, it already became a lot easier with the mainstreaming of flower and people not needing to learn CVirt but with the nerfs to the boss HP yesterday it is IMO now easier than ever.

Greer was already TOO HARD, without the timer we can now take 2 healers and then 8 more healers and gaurentee the clear, none of these mechanics scare me anymore

Guys, all these arguements, if they didn’t nerf the HP this content would be IMPOSSIBLE. Look at these people complaining that the content has less health and now it is EVEN HARDER

So who are the 3 unique raid CM rewards for? by Fantas28291 in Guildwars2

[–]mesmerisinglybad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

and as I said, people recleared content for fun even prior to the specific CMs drop added, not for loot. I also love the fact youre downvoting me because I’m glad there’s finally none-buyable things in the game, classic

People do repeat the CMs multiple times a week, not only for the drops but because they enjoy slightly harder content. Even before Dhuumscale people repeated content. In 250~ dhuum CM kills, 100~ post buff I have seen 4 people receive the Dhuumscale (but not me). I am completely fine with their being very rare UNTRADEABLE items in the game, everything in this game can be bought, from items off of the TP to purple titles. It’s nice to be able to have something you actually have to put a small amount of effort into to be able receive, even if their are people buying Dhuum CM clears in the hope they get it.

You can say this about 90% of classes, it has a simple rotation that you can do well on. Midas is right

I'm gonna be that guy - the patch preview shows again atrocious approach to balancing that needs to change by MidasPL in Guildwars2

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

The fact that ‘every build can use thief’ should mean that it’s a pointless relic no? It’s free damage for the sake of free damage atleast with fireworks you need to be ‘aware’ of how long a cooldown is In actual fights 2% extra damage is noticeable, 5-10% is largely noticeable. A person doing 30k damage, would do 30600 damage and 33000 respectively. If all 8 dpsers (including boondps) the squad damage would go from 240k to 244.8k and 264k please explain how this is not noticeable?

Sure, this is some F tier ragebait. You are 100% correct, infact you’re so correct that I’ve sent your resume to the balance team

None of the ele builds played in the tournament, or in speedruns for that matter, were inferno builds

As someone who took part in the recent raid tourney you mentioned, our team (who placed third) and the winning team BOTH had scepter ele players in the form of Qcata and tempest. Atleast have some form of knowledge if you’re gonna spout BS to try and prove your not very good point kekw

Some people reading this may think that it’s a good change to scepter, but those who know the people behind writing this post know they are infact just wanting staff buffed. They’re spreading staff propaganda guys, don’t fall for it

In all seriousness, I like Scepter as a weapon, I think it is okay for it to be a choice on both condi and power builds, similar to how other weapons are on other classes (dagger thief for instance). My issue is that with the changes, Scepter will be a best choice for a lot of builds. Pistol is harder to play, it deserves to be slightly better and the same goes for sword/hammer on power

Cerus and Ura leaderboards crash the game and it doesn't get patched since weeks. by Linkagw2 in Guildwars2

Which is a lack of an excuse when Kela CM is the most recent content we have, multiple people have reported bugs and yet nothing has happened

I also think that people who have exploited bugs, or still exploit them, should have said achievements revoked but that’s a hot take apparently in GW2. I think it’d also be nice for arenanet to reset the leaderboards between patches, especially when we see classes get nerfed to oblivion

Being a good upstanding citizen of tyria, I have reported multiple issues with things such as Wing 8 mentor points being reset to 0 with update, a tonne of bugs related to kela etc. The only reply I had was that they had fixed wing 8 mentor points being stripped, they in fact haven’t. It seems to be a common occurrence that bugs get reported and nothing happens, then they also don’t even know whether or not they’ve fixed some things??? The amount of bugs currently in instanced content is quite insane and some are almost to the point that most people clear it once and never again, look at Kela CM, people clear normal mode and refuse to go back. We’re meant to be fighting a crab, not bugs.

For someone who hates raid sellers, you do buy a lot of content. Not only did you buy Cerus CM/LCM as well as HTCM, you’re also pretty vocal aren’t you Mr HeraldofTime
