The problem is the trench coats clip horribly with most medium armor weapon animations. 9 times out of 10, a ranger with a bow will have their arm and part of the bow clipping through their coat while the weapon is drawn.

They do this in every MMO. They add mustelids without realizing they're all psychotic hypercarnivores and eat everything with a pulse and piss everywhere they can reach. Otters, wolverines, sables, ferrets, badgers, weasels, martens, pole cats, ermines, minks, whatever.

Shadowlands' problem was it was all style, zero substance. It had loads of cool stuff, interesting places to see, etc, but it shit on the lore in every single way possible because in the afterlife you get to see what happened to all of the villains and heroes that had fallen in the past 20 years of the franchise.
Imagine having a dozen iconic characters that people still quote today, characters that still exist in games like League and DotA because those games were made with your old game engine, with your old heroes and mechanics.
Now imagine having complete, finish story arcs for these heroes and villains. They've been dead and gone for years.
Now imagine the most mediocre writers your game has ever had decide they're up to the task of picking up those completed narrative arcs and adding on to them.
It was a trainwreck. And not even the living heroes were safe.
The Gary Stu that ruled over the human faction got possessed by Satan.
Most of the heroes got tortured for months in literal Hell by said Satan.
One of the best characters in the game, who had a widely hated turn to villain in the previous expansion, got half-assedly "redeemed" in a way that dismantled their character's core competencies and aptitudes, then sentenced to spend a few centuries retrieving people from Hell despite her actions being key to revealing that everyone was going to Hell when they died.
But the afterlife zones were pretty neat.
There was an Elysian Fields run by winged angels, a Fey Wild full of mystical creatures, a Transylvania ruled by vampires, and a blighted battlefield full of dead warriors that spend eternity fighting for the love of the game.

So if there is a GW3 with a Hall of Monuments, what content would be required to unlock stuff? I wonder if they would require stuff like the mastery achievement for all these maps? All story mission achievements?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>566896089
GW1 created the hall of monuments as a way to substantiate progress. In a certain sense, it was hard baked into GW2 through achievement points. It would likely just go by AP. 5k gets you a title, 10k gets you a title, etc.
>>
>>566897649
I'd expect them to tie the legendary armory into it too, at the very least.
There's no reason why GW2's version would be the same as GW1's. They didn't expect HoM to have the appeal that it did (paraphrase from Colin), so they would make GW2's more robust to retain interest when it stops getting new content.
>>
>>
>>566897267
When you're launching a new game you want to reach people in different audiences. GW3 will flop tremendously if they're only reaching the players they already have, part of which don't even want a GW3 in the first place.
>>
>>
>>566896089
I think the fact that the internal name for it is "CrossProduct" whatever probably points to it being fundamentally different from the Hall of Monuments, and I'd expect it to work both ways with things in GW2 unlocking stuff in GW3 and things in GW3 unlocking stuff in GW2, and things would be added to it over time populated mostly with new GW2 stuff rather than trying to dig through all the old expansions for achievements.
>>
My only wish for gw3 is that they don't fucking put so much focus on story content again, and if they do, by god have a completely different narrative team.
In my dreamiest dreams they make it a sandbox game with just an overarching hook in the world to make player driven content make sense, like a mist invasion that drives players to do stuff in different parts of the maps, and it leans heavy into immersive rp systems to drive player interaction
I absolutely will not touch it if it ends up being another mega faggy hack writer driven experience
>>
>>
>>566896089
Achievement point tier titles, PvP titles, WvW titles, legendary crafting, map completion, story completion, Sweet Tooth, drinking achievement, they will probably somehow implement mastery level to it, mini collections, raid/strike mission achievements. That's just going based on a 1to1 knowledge of how they did GWAMM points for GW2 HoM
>>566898510
They would track what things you have unlocked in your Legendary Armory
>>
>>566899135
I won't hold my breath for anything cool seeing how dirty they did the HoM rewards in gw2, you get a handful of titles okay but 90% of the items look like fucking shit, like two of the ranger pets and the felblade look cool otherwise it's all low effort and low-res

I got that much, I meant how much would it be tied into things? The GW1 HoM had a few different tiers, would it just be one tier? And what would the other tiers be?
>>
>>
>>566898992
Yeah, it could also include Reforges, as well as the card game if that actually winds up happening. But I guess the main point I'm getting at is that I don't think it's going to be like the GW1 HoM where it's a retrospective of all the stuff you've done throughout the whole game, because I think the idea is going to be that GW2 continues on the way it has been and GW3 is just an additional game rather than a replacement, and they'd want to encourage GW3-mains to keep buying and playing GW2 just like they'll want GW2-mains to start buying and playing GW3.
>>
>>566899778
I wouldn't know, the way how GW1 and GW2 handles weapon/armors and collections is different. I would say having at least one legendary backpiece and one of each armor weight would be safe to have in your Armory, along with any weapons you have. ANother component you would have to factor in is legendary accessories as well, since those didn't exist in GW1

If anet had any integrity they would shut down the gem store or at least stop allowing real money purchases for gems.

>>566901320
??????
You know that it's more expensive to stop making GW2 expansions in the SotO/JW/VoE format than it is to keep making them, right?
They're developing these with a small fraction of the studio and making similar-or-better revenue than they made in the PoF-LW4 era when the game was funding the entire studio. The RoI on these things is almost definitely higher than anything NCSoft has going except for Lineage 1/2 and that would still probably be true if nothing changed but they started selling half as many copies and half as many gems.
>>
>>
>>
>>566905335
Anon they are doing that because they diverted all of those Devs to develop the new game, these are low effort internal asset flips to fund the work, why do you think they unleashed the coom skins and mega material grinds, you'll cope and say they are mat sinks but in reality people are going to be swiping to get those

None of the events from the meta give XP. How exactly do they expect you to grind the 11 million XP for the masteries? I did basically every achievement in the map and I'm barely over 4 million XP. I'm not sure how you fuck this up man. Doing the metas should be the best source of XP.

I bought out the 10 right before the update and am going to sit on them until the final quarterly since none of these masteries this quarterly seem worth sprinting for.

The point of PTM is to introduce a character who obviously has some critical, pivotal role in the plot that they don't tell you, then to have him blend into the background and become kind of forgettable through the middle of the story, so that when it does come time to pull the curtain back on the twist, it catches you off guard without seeming like it came out of nowhere.

I have never seen worse moderation than in this game.

This community has been so conditioned by the ‘Minority Report’ tier policing that they celebrated it instead.

I think too many people are waiting for vault refresh to make runes/relics hoping the price of lucent stuff will drop. The price actually went up after the patch. I just need to put in a huge buy order and stop trying to save a few hundred gold. The amount of lucent crystals you need is so fucking stupid
>>
>>566927236
I still don't know why they didn't put one of the WV-style Lucent Crystal bags into the Castora Hero's Choice chests. Those things have absolutely nothing worthwhile in them, and the game desperately needs a decent source for people who didn't get the free Leggo Relic.
>>
>>566927236
Because people will focus more on gold and mystic coin from the vault and ignores mote. Motes will go down in one month after every most valuable thing in wv gone. This is a good time to sell coin since the new leggy trinket need like 500 of that crap.
>>
>>
>>566927760
I'm pissed I missed the free one. I had the materials but I was working on my armor so I didn't want to waste them. I didn't realize you only needed to make 1. I thought you had to make 7 and I thought the relic would have similar material cost to a single relic. I will never make a 7th relic because I don't give a shit about the aqua breather. It makes no sense why it costs so much.
>>566927775
It's been steady since about a month after the previous refresh. Maybe I should wait but I'm not sure. I bought enough to make all runes and like 1/3 of the relic. I was sitting on like 6.5k gold and 4k worth of materials in my storage. I've been waiting too long

Y'know what? I kinda resent the random achievements that require you to use VoE elite specs.
"Do X while using a VoE elite spec" is just dogshit because what if I hate the VoE elite spec?
Galeshot has no condi option and my ranger has always been condi and I vastly prefer to play condi, but about once every 10 hours of playing I come across an achievement that specifies that I have to be in a VoE elite spec. Shit sucks.
>>
>>566930864
Don't get the achievement then? It's about completionism first and trying to stir you to different gameplay styles second. You have to do something out of comfort zone sometimes, majority of AP are free already.
>>

MMO boomers like me who can't find any real fulfillment from any other type of game genre and is willing to try it to see if it can scratch that proper itch for the past decade. Literally the only things to look forward are GW3, the RIOT game MMO, and maybe Tera 2
>>
>>
>>
>>566932027
They need to hyper focus on specific limited amount of gameplay styles. The time of "MMOs are 9 games in one" are gone. Clearly impossible to marry all the aspects and still have a good quality, sustainable product. Modern coop games are essentially what mmos evolved into. Like Vermintide, Fortnight, Warframe, Forza Horizon.
Going back to GW1 roots would be a viable strategy for them - instanced content, can be played single or coop, limited amount 'open world' zones. Maybe a very basic arcady pvp mode, so people won't throw a hissy fit. More variety than this and the game will be spread super thin again.

>>566931169
Don't read my replies.
>>566931237
Yeah, the spec makes me want to play with a melee weapon, a mid-range weapon, and then pull out the cyclone bow for long range, but it kinda sucks constantly swapping weapons like that. You're just constantly hitting 2 or 3 abilities then swapping to the next kit to do it again, then swapping again, endlessly. It's mind numbing.
>>566931445
I hope so. I don't have tons of time in VoE yet but those two achievements jumped out at me.

NTAs I wasn't even aware there was an easy leggy relic because I take lengthy breaks from the game as I'm not a psychopath or a bedbound disabled who makes an MMO my life.

Youre probably equally upset you didnt buy bitcoin 15 years ago either. Cry more about your hindsight you stupid bitch and stay upset about the leggy relic forever. They already threw you dipshits a bone by adding it to the wizards vault and dropping the price of lucents by 1/3 but youre still bitching that the game has heavy material sinks for its legendaries (which its always had). Sorry you didnt bother making a single leggy rune when you had the chance.

Niggas, these are only technically underwater content.
I'm obviously talking about a proper fully submerged water temple and a boss. With multiple events that you do swimming and fighting unmounted.
That's why I've emphasized "Heavy". I've spent way more time flying around cliffs, mirror farming and doing daily jumping puzzles, than using skimmer underwater. Half of my characters in Castora still have shit water equipment, because I never needed anything better. It's fucking sad and a biggest missed opportunity for the heaviest Water-themed expansion yet.

I only want leggy relic, so I can remove all the idle relics from my bank. Wouldn't mind, if still needed to change them manually in bank every time. But getting 6 new ones each patch to instantly store them in a mule is fucking dumb and annoying.

you had half a year to get it done, we knew about it when they announced soto, its the not the games fault you were living under a rock for half a year. unironically, dont bother, because youre not going to get value of legos if youre absent for that long regularly, legos are really only for people who are playing constantly and need to test things

I am not installing the game nor trying to geforce-now it. Is it true that the story went nowhere (after 6 months break)? So we still expect shit to be explained. If true then the final release will be absolutely awful, you can not keep chekhov's gun for the whole expansion. I hate this company, their management is the worst and they are trying to make a new game third time instead of making something worth for their current playerbase. I loved gw1 but current crew deserve to shutdown and stop exploiting the legacy that the franchise once had. They belong to mobile games.

Need a hand GW2G - After a while of playing Scourge and babysitting Sand Shades with miserable 8 seconds of duration each i've come to the conclusion that this isn't worth it. I've heard whispers of times where they were 20 seconds and i can only imagine what profound retardation led to this change. I'd prefer to stay Necro but actually have some fun playing. Can be Condition based or Power based. Power is the favorite child of ANet so i'd imagine most suggestions will lean towards that end, but that's fine.

Condi harbinger is the most fun I had with necro. It seems complex at first glance, with all the health loss and self condi infliction, but in reality it's gorilla button mash and surprisingly agile for a necro. You throw bottles everywhere and dash around in shroud.
>>
>>566969801
At the very least i'd rather not swap armor weights at the moment, though i don't feel as hopeless as you do about Necro just yet. That might change with time.
>>566969823
Agile does sound good - I'll have to consider this one. I'm guessing Pistol & Torch + something?

>Is it true that the story went nowhere (after 6 months break)?
Not really, unless you thought the story was going to be completely resolved in Part 3 of 4 for some reason, or you're just primed to hate the game, hate the story, and hate ArenaNet, which it sounds like you probably are.
There's pretty much three plot threads in this patch's story, and they all see movement:- Trying, and ultimately failing, to stop Vloxx from using the magic stick to Ascend, which includes some basic chase story stuff, your own character going through two of the three stages of the ascension test, and changes Vloxx's motivation/character.
- The rift between Vloxx and the rest of the Inquest grows, and by the end they're completely detached from him and under Kuda's leadership. There's also a bunch of seer magic/technology that they manage to reverse-engineer.
- It becomes apparent at the start of the patch that the curse on Isgarren isn't just a handwave to keep him from helping you but actually pretty important, and there's a whole arc of finding the records of the guy who did it, getting his side of the story, and then breaking the curse.
It's not masterful storytelling or anything, the minigames in the story instances aren't great, and it doesn't have nearly the production value of something like LW4, but by the metric of how much stuff happens in the story, it's comparable to most updates in the LW days.
>>
>>
>>
>>566966515
Despite what the retard said, the story actually went nowhere.
Everything you expected that would happen at the end of last patch came to fruition, and no new exposition was made about what vloxx wants to do, so basically even of you skip the entire chapter you'll miss nothing
>>
so the only real motivator to do the story and chore lists is to collect all the new relics they come up with, and to avoid pvp/wvw to unlock the relics? i get it, the mastery side and to complete collections, but at what cost? skip the story and just pvp if you don't want to do the story itself. if a player is unwilling to do chores or finish story ((because pvp sucks!)), deal with the consequences. most players are out of steam trying to give others the option or advice to just do a different game mode or don't play this game at all. don't come here to bitch and moan, just do the thing you need to do: which is likely quit. just don't give anet another dime. it's tiresome to hear the same shit over and over about story "sucking." everyone knows it sucks, just do something (you) WANT to do with (your) time! shit!

pistol/dagger, scepter/torch or warhorn, spear and possibly sword/sword, full viper or celestial.
You don't get defense in shroud anymore and go full offence. Gain stacks of blight, that reduce max HP, get HP regen and increase condi dmg massively. You gain shroud very fast, big mobility skills, apply a lot of buffs in aoe, transfer condi from yourself.
Reduce max HP is counteracted by self regen, but you become unusually squishy and start to get one-shotted. Especially if you used to face tanking everything like most necros do.

You're definitely huffing gas if you think that ArenaNet's master plan is to write an expansion where the story is a metanarrative about how they hate their own game, how it sucks, and how it's a mistake they need to fix.

They might announce GW3 then, but they're not going to turn VoE into a rugpull where at the end of the story it turns out you spent $25 to play through an interactive commercial for a different game.
I guarantee you that ArenaNet is not full of GW3 Discord retards licking their lips at the idea of getting to lay sick owns on their own playerbase by dumpstering GW2 in the most dramatic fashion possible and writing a whole expansion story about how much they hate GW2 and want to move on to GW3.

You're a retard. Anon isn't saying the leggy relic is bad, so your meme doesn't work.
It's justifiable to shit on a shit company for doing shit design like FOMO limited time bullshit to force people to play in little windows.
Some of people weren't even playing the game when the leggy relic was introduced, so now all of those people are fucked for no reason other than shitty game devs being shit at developing games.
You fanboy sacks of shit that have meltdowns every time anyone criticizes your second pathetic life are pathetic.

Anet should let me write stories:

>All of Tyria becomes under siege from eternal shadows.
>(You) end up fighting them long term as they attack randos.
>Nobody can stem the tide of shadows no matter what they do.
>Have to seek the Gods' help in Orr.
>Lyssa tells you that the shadows come from Menzies the Lord of Destruction.
>Everyone concludes he is making move now since balth is dead.
>With the help of the Legions' firepower and Asuran tech, everyone searches for the source of the flood.
>Menzies eventually confronts (Hero and Gang) to cryptically tell them to stop fighting.
>(Hero and Gang) refuse and then nearly get their asses kicked by a very strong Shadow.
>They continue searching for Menzies while be hunted by that Shadow that can't seem to die.
>(Hero) meets Menzies again, caught in a void, and attempts to reason again.
>If (Hero) is Charr/Thief/Both, you find outparty is enthralled by Lyssa, she wants Aurene to gain more power to directly control Tyria, he's the god of liberation (hint: powerful god with literally no followers), lyssa can't control him, balth was the god of oppression and a retard. You can choose to still be antagonistic or assist him as a double agent (changes final boss fight).
>If (Hero) is Human and Mesmer/Blessed by Lyssa/both,you are "ambushed" and Menzies lines are distorted/silent/muffled by high-pitched tones while you fight him. He kicks your ass and tosses you out of the void. (final boss is locked to "Controlled by Lyssa").
>Later Lyssa directs you to the Realm of Darkness, but can't help you get to Menzies because the darkness there makes mesmer magic useless (sorry mesmer mains, but Menzies hates you).
>Menzies (and 2k character limit) Boss Fight, either "Fend Off Lyssa-enhanced Party with Menzies", "Honorable Duel" or "Controlled by Lyssa"
>Fight ends with Aurene flashbanging you from the darkness and clearing Lyssa's spell on the party.

>The randos attacked in Core are revealed to be said army but concealed.
>Menzies has to relocate Aurene now.
>Start getting attacked by pantheon army.
>Balthazar's Eternals return, with a warped canthan design and try to kill you.
>This puts Menzies on alert. Learn that Shadows are repurposed souls of the bodies Balth stole.
>Menzies sets a trap to draw out Balth's replacement.Its Shiro. High-octane duel cinematic btw. Shiro loses, but barely. Also part of Neo-Kaineng destroyed.
>Menzies issues a quest to "lose potential followers" while killing Shiro-ites, citing that his power grows the more people refuse to follow him. Otherwise, Shiro might take his power and find Aurene.
>Politics, the quest chain.
>Shiro starts rapidly taking territory and people. Tyria covered in a cloud of oppression and everyone loses hope.
>Rematch, Menzies takes on Shiro while everyone else culls Shiro's army and generals.
>Menzies has a hard time even damaging Shiro at this point. Shiro's army is endless and everyone is dying.
>Desperate, (Hero) keeps getting up (from downed state) to fight the general.
>Gradually everyone does the same until Shiro's army starts dying off.
>Menzies gains more power and starts beating Shiro.
>Last of Shiro's generals fall. Menzies now wrecking shit.
>Shiro gets domed (for good) and powers taken.
>Menzies confronts the group because someone has to replace Shiro.
>(Hero) suggests they should be the new God.
>Menzies says "No" and gives the power to (the Kormir 2.0 of the party).
>Lyssa appears with the rest of the pantheon to try to sway the new God of War to her side but gets denied.
>She warns of retaliation, the repercussions of their actions, etc.
>Menzies rudely says, "Please die, you vapid bitch."
>Pantheon leaves.

Oh, and when I tried to WP out of AB, the game kicked me to the launcher and spent 20 minutes updating. I checked LFG for AB when I logged back in and saw 6 groups. LFG was 100% empty before I relogged. Zero groups recruiting for any metas on any maps. Zero raids. Zero fractal groups. The game stuck me in my own instance of reality because I somehow skipped the forced update cue.

What's even the fucking point of the shit they put in the game that heals you for like 100hp every time you poison or bleed something when the healing is so trivial that it doesn't matter? These traits and relics provide MAYBE 1k hp/s AT BEST. But a good offensive relic adds way more than 1k dps to your output.

That's boring as shit. You run into one enemy with a 20k damage attack and you're forced to resort to trial-and-error until you figure out the choreography. I'd play soulslop or monster hunter if I wanted that. I want to smash my face on champion level enemies, maybe even some legendaries, and grind them down. I just don't want to spend 20 minutes per fight doing 8k dps.
