This is the D2 of our time. If they kept WvW going for 10 years I'd probably play it for 10 years.

I got a sudden and unexplained itch to reinstall this after quitting a couple months post-launch. I'm guessing I'll barely recognize the game anymore after 3 years away. They seriously want $50 for the expansion coming out this month?

By Black Friday it will get a 25% sale and people will cry about how they paid full price and then the fanboys will say "Yeah well you enjoyed your month of game play at full price didn't you? :smugdog:" so what I'm saying is let the whales work out the kinks for a month and buy it on sale later.

Yes, though I consider the grind to be getting the necesary ascended gear aside from amulets and trinkets which are easy as poo poo. Also isn't it such that the ar infusion in your gear can't be used in the creation of a higher level infusion? Like a +5 takes 2 +4's, but you can't use the +4 in your gear? If you don't have much ascended stuff, getting higher ar might be a bit of a pain considering how you increase infusions.

Yeah they should make it so that you can "bank" the infusions into your item every time you get it. That way you don't have to choose between creating a higher infusion or using the infusion to actually protect you. It's expensive and thus grindy, be design. Just a quick check on the trading post at the prices of infusions is enough to make a person close the fractal window with a big fat lol, no thanks.

One of the things I like about them nerfing the dungeon gold rate is that I dont do dungeons, so basically im poor. And people who do it, are rich. They can convert gold to gems and enjoy the pleasures of life. I cannot, because I wvw. So now they're being knocked down a peg we can all be poor and that makes me happy. Because a lot of items on the trading post are very expensive, due to inflation, due to things like people farming dungeons. This is basically Bernie Sanders waving a big old paw at the naughty dungeon farmers and helping me afford items on a wvw salary. Hopefully the rewards for fractals are not too good.

thats 100% me friend, im happy about the gold nerf, i dont like any focused activity that gets people too wealthy because their hoarded wealth skews makes things too expensive for casuals such as myself. maybe they should tax people on their wealth, hell its not a bad idea, people would invest in expensive items like bolts of damask to keep their money illiquid but it'd be a start.

Its not that crazy of an idea some people have hundreds of thousands of gold and they are manipulating the cost of items on the TP. Thats not fair to the average player.

Berserker has been feeling pretty lackluster (really lackluster, I should say), and while Warrior is fun and seems sick for stomping people who aren't experienced it feels like hell against anyone playing well in sPvP (unless I'm doing obnoxious shoutbow stuff). I heard that they don't want to make any changes to either Warrior or Berserker though because they are intended to be "Underpowered slightly because they are so simple", is this actually true?

Warrior has always been this way, really. Think about the difficulty of Mesmer or Ele or Engi and now Rev: all involve complex switching in and out of things, planning moves based on the result of previous moves, etc. Warrior is very elementary to pull off successfully because of how simple it is, so making it less powerful makes sense.

Since I dont have HoT i decided to spec some players in spvp to see what the elite specializations are like, as well as revenant. as far as revenant goes, what in the actual gently caress. Am I off base for thinking that they're incredibly overpowered?

Compared to who? Did you try chronomancer? Reaper? Scrapper? Dragonhunter?

I dont have HoT so no I havent tried any of those. I mean in general. Or versus a player thats not elite spec'd. Seems like non elite specs are not competitive in spvp. You can still blob them down in WvW but in spvp its a laff.

Are there any non elite spec classes that can compete? I don't have Hot but I would like to try to play. Altough I watched a guy on twitch try to play spvp and he seemed very frustrated about the matchmaking.
