I guess it's more 'different strokes for different folks' more than anything else.Paihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108169893140762249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-39953492706128095292012-05-02T19:40:24.896+01:002012-05-02T19:40:24.896+01:00Sounds like range is a tad easier atm.

Just a bit more laid back and not so much stuff to stay away from. <br /><br />Great pics, been reading your GW2 posts and it really sounds like a lot of fun. Ranger looks cool too. I'm really interested in checking out the necro and the ranger.kaozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058067791146704803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-72964106715507602652012-04-30T22:32:32.391+01:002012-04-30T22:32:32.391+01:00@casualdoes Well yes, but that's part and parc...@casualdoes Well yes, but that's part and parcel of soloing in any MMO, isn't it? And most aren't kind enough to post the mobs tricks under their names, either! I learned to solo in EQ where you never knew what a mob could do, or even what level it was until you pulled it so being ready to run when working out which mobs in a new area are good targets is second nature to me.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-56723066340551526842012-04-30T20:46:43.235+01:002012-04-30T20:46:43.235+01:00@Gina - it does sound as though GW2 is not for you...@Gina - it does sound as though GW2 is not for you, which is totally reasonable given your class/style preferences I think, but I just want to say in response to this:<br /><br />"I played the Mesmer for a bit longer and found that to be the closest, but the pets do not grab aggro at all. "<br /><br />Oh, dear. That is really really not what Mesmer clones are for, and that makes your squishiness make a lot more sense. (they're for blowing up and damaging the enemy, lots and lots)<br /><br />@Bhagpuss:<br /><br />"Make sure you don't pull any mob that "reflects projectiles""<br /><br />AHA! So you DID have select strategies and chose your targets carefully. I see what you did there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-14100555022639749512012-04-30T16:49:25.567+01:002012-04-30T16:49:25.567+01:00Well, I think it was also that I'm not really ...Well, I think it was also that I'm not really looking for another game right now -- I'm very happy with EQ2 and SWTOR on and off.<br /><br />I love my EQ2 Illusionist, and my SWTOR Balance Sage/Madness Sorcerer have a similar playstyle. But GW2, being a PvP game, has no CC that works in the same way. That's the way I like to play. If this game doesn't offer it, I guess I'm out. I played the Mesmer for a bit longer and found that to be the closest, but the pets do not grab aggro at all. Guild Wars 2 -- The Kiting. Blargh.<br /><br />I don't really have the patience to learn a whole new slew of gaming practices. Dodge, well, I might as well forget that until they allow me to bind it to one of my extra mouse keys. Mouse 5 worked, but not Mouse 4. And do I really want to spend my game trying to figure out when to hit my button like a console player? The answer is no. I have never been a twitch player and I sure as hell don't want to become one. I'd rather run out of the way, which is what I do with all games, really.<br /><br />I wish I'd preordered instead of prepurchased, because then I'd return the sucker.<br /><br />But, on the good side, I think I represent many casual players who don't care about "e-sports" and just want to relax instead of work in a game. So ArenaNet will have to adjust if they want that market.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240150265873294884noreply@blogger.com
