the good thing about gw2 is that you'll get stuff no matter what you do. lately i've just been relaxing and playing some music while mapcompleting and it's insane how much cool poo poo is packed away in little corners that players might never see.

I can't wait for a few xpacs from now, when it's revealed that all this dragon stuff is actually part of Abaddon's double deluxe ulra-secret plan to rule the world. The entirety of GW1 is retconned to be a ruse so he could possess Kormir, rejoin the human god pantheon, and destroy it from within.

this would imply that anet would put any interesting thought into the humans in gw2 and we already know that's not the case

i'll still never understand why they decided to axe the human gods in gw2 when they were basically the only interesting thing about humans in prophecies. without cantha or elona to expand on them they're just loving boring.

i followed the 'fast' guide for weaponcrafting on this and it's relatively painless as long as you have a little bit of gold. it's actually embarrassing how loving easy it is to go from 300 to 400.

Yeah, they're not even in denial about this anymore.

like, are they just going to stealth remove the dungeons in a future patch and make the dungeon tokens a rare drop from events and the like in the respective zones? i wouldn't be surprised

'quick, sweep our shame underneath the rug'

'what about if we fix them'

'no, just make them disappear'

i'm excited for the eventual stronghold changes where they remove all but the tiniest reward from it to force people to do something else because they want to sweep it under the rug and pretend it never existed.

that and the change to raids in a year's time.

i like underwater stuff in that underwater areas have some really pretty areas to explore but at this point it's just genuinely funny how underwater combat is universally viewed with disgust. i bet we'll never hear anything of value about that supposed underwater dragon because no one will want to bother revamping underwater combat.

What I'm wondering is, if fractals are where they're going to be doing new small-group content, and they're getting changed so that a specific fractal is going to be associated with a specific reward scale, how are they going to shoehorn new ones into that rotation?

Or are they not planning on adding more fractals at all, ever? :smith:

vinewrath isn't guaranteed to drop anything that's super amazing but the entire event chain is guaranteed to drop a shitload of stuff that adds up to a decent amount of gold if you're smart about your salvaging/whatever.

to celebrate my fancy new hammer i decided to make my charr look like a pit fighter. somehow every piece comes from a different set (barring the helmet but who wears those as charr) and i am mildly proud of it

legendaries will automatically cost less going forward in the future due to not needing to buy precursors. i'm sure that quite a lot of the gift items will still have a significant cost attached, but one of the most significant chunks of gold will no longer be needed.

Mormon Star Wars posted:

I'm trying to decide between making a Warrior or a Guardian. I want a heavy armor class that is p. survivable - my main characters are Ranger and Necromancer, and while I know that nothing will be as tanky as a Necromancer, I'd like something in the same ballpark.

Anyone have a suggestion for which of the two I should make and boost?

guardian's entire thing is basically 'poo poo out boons and live forever' depending on how you skill/trait yourself

i guess i can see why they'd want it to be something people have to work for, but it's still kind of hilarious how the sense of scale works in regards to map completion only being worth roughly half of what you need.

to be fair she really can't come out and say "this will be easy peasy no worries"

yeah, this is pretty much how any announcement of poo poo like this goes. it's dumb and i wish it would go away, but if stuff like this is being talked about then for some godawful reason they feel obligated to talk about how ~SOULCRUSHINGLY HARD~ it is no matter what it's going to end up being like when players actually get access to it. in a month's time people could already have the entire raid down to the point where they can run like 3 useless people though and still complete stuff and articles like that will still exist.
