Turns out our server is pretty good at this WvWvW thing. We were tiered 1 for the longest of all the servers I read on reddit today. I know they have a good Teamspeak set up and they seem coordinated. |

"Guys this is commander barney"
"OK... listen up... we are going to loop around and flank them"
i would troll that in a second |

You should buy it. When you speak in map it is DARK red. haha. The more I read about Mesmers the more I want one. I may just level one through crafting and do a cheap way to 80. Farm some exotics and tear up WvWvW. |

nothing is worse in PvP than playing monkey in the middle vs. a mesmer and all 12 of his clones |

Reading on Reddit today. A level 67 guardian pretty much pulled his group through a level 10 fractal. I suck. I'm quitting this game. |
|

last night in fractals 10, our guardian, during a 4 mini-boss encounter, tanked 2 of the mini-bosses, while the rest of the group killed the first 2 mini-bosses
he took on 2 mini-bosses and aggroed them and soloed them, taking what appeared to be no damage
it was a combination of blocking attacks, dodgeing attacks, and blinding them
after the encounter, i was like wow man great job... he said: "as you can see ive done this too many times"
GW2 skill cap > WoW skill cap
can't even compare
and I am starting to think gw2 skill cap > tera skill cap also
I am still learning every day, I make a conscious effor tin dungeons now to try to pick up as many bonus field as possible... free healing, free speed boost, its pretty epic... and overwhelming at first to take in, understand, and do correctly |

GW2 Skill Cap does > Tera Skill Cap IMO. Because Tera still has the trinity. Healers can still bail you out if you misclick. Misclick in GW2 and it is over. |

When I first did dungeons in GW2: I stood in place while fighting bosses.. ala WoW style, got killed all the time
Then I learned to move around, and I started always moving while fighting
And the final stage is, you dont have to move around all the time, just when its necessary and you recognize things... you move to dodge things or pick up bonus fields
in fractals 8 a dude corrected me: "why are you always kiting the boss in circles?... you are missing all of our bonus fields"
he was right |

Sometimes its hard to tell when a boss is doing a special move. Too many sparkles on my screen. I'll just roll a mesmer and all will love me for Time Warp! And teleportations! |

GW2 reduced button UI complexity
however, they made combat much more complicated, if you had 40 buttons like WoW it would not be possible
GW2 = less buttons, focus on the actual combat
WoW = more buttons, focus on buttons |

I was just going to ask you how in the world do you play without a Naga. With all the movement involved I don't see how someone could be pressing 1,2,3,4....I love my Naga. |
|
|
it isn't easy... but after 4 months of GW2 i have adapted |

I tried setting some buttons up on my G700. It wasn't working for some reason. I have a bunch of other games that work perfectly, I guess I gotta mess with it some more. |

LOL. Great response. How does your wife like her new massages?
I remember WoW. I had my Naga and like 20 keybinds on my keyboard. It was CRRAAZaayy. |

When I get a chance I'm going to post the following in the GW2 forums:
Why the hell do mobs in dungeons leash?
This is the worst thing ever! It enables people to blow past mob packs in dungeons, and skip them and go straight for bosses!
To me, this is a fundemental misunderstanding by the GW2 dungeon team, on what dungeons are all about. Why are you enabling dungeon content that can be bypassed?
This happens in most of all GW2 dungeons, and it happens in fractals as well!
Dungeon mobs, once aggroed should chase you thru the whole god damn dungeon! |

I think I read somewhere that the dungeon lead designer said it is something they will look into. He said yes he could just turn on aggro forever but the team is not going to do that atm. They are looking to make encounters either more interesting and rewarding or more fun. |

Wednesday, 1am EST
was at cursed shore... you would of thought it was a holiday or something, because the zone was packed! I mean everywhere you went there were players... am I missing something?
this game is still wildly popular
Did Melandru's and Grenth event chains, and the changes are awesome.
Grenth is now epicly hard, an awesome encounter.
The Karma vendors are now sporting new gear when the nodes are not contested...
As a result, I have more +Vitality, +Toughness, +Power, exotic karma gear that I need to get on Warrior and Guardian.
This is in addition to my quest for Ascended gear on my warrior. |

Finally got my personal fractals level to 10!
going to grind 10 for about a week or so
at 10+ ascended gear has a chance to drop from regular mobs, and the boss chest on even fractals has a chance to drop ascended rings
hoping to pick up some agony resistance before I move ahead... no sense in making it harder for myself untl then |

It's hard to login to GW2 right now during my free times when I keep seeing the PoE icon in my Windows Start menu, haha. |
|
|
I like both games very much, it's a good problem to have
my play time priority goes
GW2 -> PoE -> LoL
at the end of the night, I am so tired, that I just have no energy to put time right now into PoE, I will on weekends
my commute sucks, and work is a grind ffs |

Grinding RL epics is not as fun. |

the funny thing is... market trends... and behavior in mmos is VERY similar to IRL markets and human behaviour |

This is awesome. The game only gets better and better.
I wish I could create the missions.
the guild daily would be like "Kill 100 racoons"
I'd have you guys running around like monkeys! |
