Guild Wars 2

Post by Rustledjimm » #399266

So I recently got that mmo itch again and to stop myself paying for a sub and booting up EVE I was convinced to try Guild Wars 2 again since I bought it in 2014 and never really touched it.

I'm actually loving it and was wondering how many folk here would be interested in playing as a group/small guild.


p.s I do not own either expansion as of yet.
So uhh, I'm an admin. Please leave feedback! Oops took me a while to strike that through.

Sure! I'll make one/join if you want. I have a commander tag etc.

I can teach raids/fractals too if people are interested in that sort of thing ^_^

I used to play that game. Then Heart of Thorns happened. Not falling for Anet's marketing ever again. HoT and the post-expansion content taking more than a year to release made it clear that their development team has severe management problems.

What are you referring to specifically? The legendary weapons /armour are all I can think of off the top of my head that didn't get released initially.

They seemed to have learned their lesson, anyway. Path of Fire was a more appropriate cost, and as far as I know had everything they said it would in it.

The story quests were awful, the maps felt a lot sparser than what we were promised, WvW map was awful, it was their last desperate push to make "esports" a thing, and the living world updates took a fucking year to come after launch. The elite specializations were the only thing they got right.

I would be down to play, but I am not super experienced in high end content.

I play an earth elementalist, max level last I checked unless the cap went up.

Is joining a new server or playing with a guild on another server awful still?

Nope!
Server only matters for WvW and PvP these days really. You can play with anyone as long as they're in the same region as you (North America vs Europe etc.)

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.
Some idiot tries to welderbomb the AI hiding out at mining for no discernible reason.
Two permabans and a dayban, i'm expecting a snarky appeal from one of them soon. What the fuck.
