As a rather newer GW2 player, it was nice to see some coverage of the updates in terms that I could more readily grasp. RIP, screenshot hotkey.

It felt like Silverwaste and dry top had diminished that a little with their focus on a certain large mega chain. Good to here it's more alive here.<br /><br />j3w3lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149785166620006877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-34963306029961195882015-10-25T21:50:13.855+00:002015-10-25T21:50:13.855+00:00Nice Ursula K.

My first couple of days in the new zones felt terrible. The zones felt extremely locked down without mushrooms and/or gliding, the place felt empty, and the story felt aimless.<br /><br />Well, to be honest, GW2 story always feels aimless to me. So, okay, no big deal. And I'll never not have mushrooms and gliding again. With those, it's fun moving around the place.<br /><br />Most importantly, people are starting to work together. Event chains are chaining and are fun. I have no doubt that they will be player optimized to the margin of precision and unfriendliness within a week or so, but I like the current middle ground. Eventually people will be farming crowbars and loot bags nonstop (and if not Arenanet will simply blowtorch everything else until they do, RIP dungeons). A couple of days ago everyone was headless chickens. Right now we're all cheerfully semi-competent, which is my MMO happy place, haha.Athiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254712651904554057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-13637238292145421052015-10-25T15:09:15.102+00:002015-10-25T15:09:15.102+00:00"Soloing _without moving or thinking about yo..."Soloing _without moving or thinking about your build and what you're doing_ is exceptionally difficult in the new zone, and _players who don't have the faintest clue what they're doing are- close to impossible during certain events."<br /><br />Fixed that for her.<br /><br />I spent a great deal of my time using my ranged scepter/torch weapons and had very little issue in general, I assume a ranger with pet tank also finds it pretty smooth going. I had to think a bit and swap in some knockdowns when I got tired of getting pushed around and rolled on by things with a breakbar, and after that, things became even more pleasant.<br /><br />What I'm finding impossible are scaled up events where the place thinks there are 10-20 players in the vicinity, but really only a handful are either actively attempting to do the event or have grasped the mechanics so far.<br /><br />Jeromaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206083433625986970noreply@blogger.com
