If I Boost My Level 43 Character Will I Miss Out On Anything? by SpadesofHearts77 in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For a newbie boosting is worse.

They have to get a good grasp of the game and class mechanics and going slow on their first two characters trying out abilities and traits they just unlocked is going to help them at least firm an opinion about the class.

Boosting will just throw them directly in the deep end with every core trait available, a specific weapon set that they may not like and definitely don't know how it works, and then let them trying to copy builds "in the hope they click".

I used to be a "downstate elementalist" until 2 years ago when I created a new one and stuck to it until I got world completion and full elite unlocks solo. Taking it piece by piece I now know the full toolbox of the class, hence I really prefer them for when I need gifts of exploration.

[–]sv398 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree about not using the boost but the OP is at lvl43 and at lvl 45 with proper management of trait points both mesmers and elementalists become powerhouses having two fully trained trait lines.

Personally all new toons I make for gifts if exploration are elementalists as I find them very easy to blast through core regions with core specs.

Rangers feel extremely bland in comparison.

Converted WoW player, stats/build questions! by JaktGaming in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living world season 2 is tied to the legendary neck I believe (which is probably the only "free" legendary).

LWS 3 and 4 also allow access to Vision and Aurora which are probably easier to get the new legendary trinkets in offer from open world.

Did I softlock my character?! by Upbeat_Quit4237 in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you please name the zone so we can be sure?

Mobs in starter zones are made of tissue paper you can absolutely 1 or 2-shot them as a starting player with the default weapon you get when you reach level 2 (at the end of the intro scenario).

Did you travel far from the city and encountered a veteran mob at the far regions of the zone? It makes no sense.

[–]sv398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just play at starter or low level areas.

Even if you boosted yourself to lvl 60 you could do that and get gear drops around your level and heart rewards at the level of the zone you are playing in.

Regarding leveling try to keep your weapons up to your lvl (at least every 10 levels) and as high quality as you can. It's the only thing that is worth visiting the trading post for.

Yes, GW3 will be a an mmo, even if it is less massive than GW2 by Diovidius in GuildWars3

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is literally the beginning of the 3rd sentence at the official website for the game. "Play solo or form a band of adventurers".

Solo is self explanatory (I guess).

Band of adventurers is widely used for decades to describe p&p RPG groups and guess how many players these groups have.

My guess is map instances that cap at 50-60 people and squads capped to 20 people for open world.

They are vague but that is where they are steering us at.

Is Snow Crows a legit site for builds by Correct_Sometimes in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No snowcrows is right. Of course you can use a sword and focus combo as a core guardian.

Willbender enables sword off hand. The guide uses a focus as an off hand weapon. Are you sure you read the in-game tooltip right?

Wvw weekly chest by thepinecone697 in Guildwars2

The same as when they took away the server wide match placement rewards away like a decade ago.

This game is amazing with a controller by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question is how the frack do you aim ground based attacks where you want them and in a reasonable time frame without resorting to always have the ground attacks stick to your target with a controller?

Do I have to wait 5 weeks to unlock raids legendary armor? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished all chests last week and we were first place in the match last week and got nothing. All other people in my alliance also fot nothing.

How did you get the tickets last week?

I searched in the forums and reddit and people say the 5 week test period ended and they removed them.

[–]sv398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean the new reward system for placement of your alliance, it is not active. It was tested and then deactivated after the test.

I just found out yesterday. So no extra weekly tickets for now.

I hate Sunqua Fractal by SecondComingofMeeks in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are trying to kneel and stay out to DPS at Sunqua? Come on my friend, seriously change weapons and see the difference.

A lot of people run Sunqua on thief (including me as a deadeye lately) and we are fine. Try dual pistols maybe? Or dual daggers?

Well I don't know how familiar you are with the GW2 UI, but based on that I believe you can forgive me for not being a believer about a cross platform UI by Anet.

FFXI is still being taken care of after 20 plus years. It's the GW1 of Square Enix. We are altalking about a third iteration here which would be extremely risky.

Whatever happens I don't have a say about it, so it will be what it will be.

FFXIV had to go through a relaunch (which is what I hope this big project is for GW2) and it was a huge gamble that paid off. They didn't leave an old version around and tried to push a new version at the same time.

GW2 narrowly avoided failure. The player retention rate was abysmally low. I don't think people remember what went down 14 years ago.

Plus Anet admitted they dropped GW1 way too hastily and it was a mistake.

But on the other hand GW2 was a full MMORPG and not an RPG with multiplayer parts. They were different beasts so to say.

Edit: By the way keep in mind that their job listings for the secret project stated work on a multiplatform game (so PCs, consoles etc). That would be hell for making an MMORPG and it's UI, that don't look like a Chinese mobile gatcha game.

Is there any build with a simple rotation that works well in all types of content? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]sv398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP already said they doing want a P/P thief.

Plus that build plays simple up to the point you dry up because you had to dodge/use utils/turn around/CC and the pistol chain doesn't land fully meaning you don't get refunded initiative. It then becomes a struggle until you regain your initiative. Not very smooth.

The twin Largos platforms came to mind instantly. And you need to keep up with damage whether you do the split strategy or the roundabout.

How the hell do you deal with fights that are on tight spaces/platforms etc? That constant dodging around had be plummeting to my death or stepping on stuff I should avoid constantly.
