Happy PoF day, Sup Forums!

ARE THE SERVERS OPEN? THIS IS IMPORTANT.

58%!

>patch is 23.5k files large
Can't fucking wait for download speed to drop under 1 MB for this entire thing.

>mfw 18%

Nobody knows the DL LITERALLY started 10 min ago but the servers were up beforehand so probably.

>73%

HURRY UP. I WANT TO LOGIN AND CRASH

LA taking too long to download.

When have GW2 servers ever been closed? Or down for that matter? Only time I can remember was when a massive DDoS happened

So what are you going to focus on first, Sup Forums? Go through story? Try to unlock your new specialization?

Who /deadeye/ here?

>mounts unlock through heart vendors not by buying a mastery track first
I like it

BG/SoS/YB/JQ etc. are all closed.

>Played Mesmer a shit ton on launch
>Have barely touched the game since then

How is Mesmer these days? I remember really enjoying the class but everyone seemed confused as to exactly how to build them or whatever when the game first came out so it was kind of a struggle playing it.

>story
>gw2

OH SHIT WE'RE DOOMED

Raptor mount ASAP, exploring, while doing story or achievements inbetween.

Deadeye is the only class im looking forward to but it will be nerfed into the ground in pvp and is already barely useable in pve. I hope its worth the money

Have you never picked a world for your account yet? Those are all the ""high population"" ones that don't let you join in most times of the day, thanks to WvW bandwagoners.

To be fair the S3 story was ok.

everyone wanting that chronos

what happened some norn went trans or what?

>stuck at 76%
FUUUUCK

no it wasn't

>technobabble deus ex machina galore

>Those dumb theatricals with the Shining Blade

>Okay

>renegade was useless in the beta
>renegade costs for all skills have been reduced by 2-10 energy
>the F skills are still completely useless
>Icerazor's still inflict cripple instead of chill
Why would they do this? It's just pure and utter shit.

same

ded game

don't forget Braham

if anything there's only one good thing - the first LS3 (no Taimi, so much Canach)

Lazarus wasn't out of nowhere the story was in the raids and gw1.
Braham is emo because they wanted to get rid of him for this expansion.
>ex machina
this is true
still overally the S3 was ok

gets playable at like the 5% mark

I didn't do my HoT spec so I unlocked the PoF elite immediately

who /76/ here?

Hello marketing bureau? Yes it's Mike O'brien here, can you send 12 of your people over to Sup Forums's video game board? I would market over there myself but i'm to busy sucking my transgender girlfriend's clitoris, Alright thanks again.

>playing with the whole rest of the patch still downloading in the background
No. Full patch or nothing.

Who 1kbs here?

that was balthazar-pretending-to-be-Lazarus

like the actual lazarus in S3E6 was out of nowhere, even with Livia

Braham did a total 180 on his character - he's supposed to move on with his shit but suddenly he's all being emo

nooooooo why fucking assnets

ppls are waiting at the gates...

Boy you sure showed us. You're so woke, man.

same, the fuck is this shit?

>headbutt

man I severely underestimated that elite

>1366x768

>can buy new trait unlocks with old tokens
>wvw finally can get elite specs without shitting in pve

wew

You could buy HoT elite specs in WvW for a long time now.

Nah we were waiting for Livia all gw2 we knew she lived and that she was collecting artifacts to kill lazarus since gw1.
We just finally seen here.

so fucking happy it's only 250hp
now i can play the class i want through PoF instead of my WvW class

not initially though, they had to add it after no?

what is the most fun new spec?

deadeye. but only in wvw

>but everyone seemed confused

that's basically all you have to know about mesmer in these patches.
The to-go-build with mesmer is full confusion since a few weeks.
I played it since my character was lv50 almost 3 years ago and it's pretty fun since.
Personally, I like the mesmer for fooling around and exploration, but I don't really see how you could get actually serious with one

mesmer nowadays are build as support with elite chronomancer - they essentially pump out alacrity and quickness

should i drop 50 dollarydoos on this if i almost always end up not playing the games i buy?

it's only 30 dawg

>Not playing power build and one shotting kids for days.

>50

PoF is only 30

no those are cancer thieves in wvw

dunno what's the meme condition build in pve

Story is only 3 acts this time, and one of the third act story achievements is "Enemy of my Enemy"

>friends started playing GW2
>tell me its really good
>decide to download it and see what its all about
>stylized art looks nice enough
>actual game graphics are painful to look at, worse than fucking WoW despite coming out 8 years after it
>standard boring MMO grindan
Different strokes for different folks I suppose

>Worse than wows design
Did you try opening your eyes while playing?

how did you do that?

>26 unique posters in this thread
shouldn't you be in /vg/ or reddit

>wow graphic better than gw2
The fuck, even gw1 graphic is better than wow.

the /vg/ thread got so cancerous someone started autospamming it with a bot and it's now officially banned from /vg/

general is ded because of a furry's bot

S3 was pure garbage

clik buttonms

>general got banned from Sup Forumsg for being to cancerous
>too cancerous for the most cancer board on this website
Says alot about the community doesn't it.

>excited for an sjw game
fucking lel

i'm not saying anything positive about the commuinty, the /vg/ thread was consistently the worst thread on Sup Forums by far

gw2 is a casual MMO for normies and is designed for it, so imagine the sort of autistic reject that chooses to play gw2 anyway while being ostracized by the normies flooding the game

nice meme, nigger

imagine being this paranoid irl

best mounts any MMO has ever done

any unused hero points can unlock it immediately

>fast
>responsive, but not so much so it feels like "you on a horse" not "you but faster"
>idle animations
>actually do something beyond going faster, different mounts have different purposes
>has an attack so you can enter combat in style
Can you get knocked off or slowed by stray enemies? If not then it's the perfect mount

the animation is wacky

first dc of the evening

fucking norns, i thought the raptors would scale with character size but nope

>fps dips to 48 outside of Amnoon
>no players in storymode to bring it down
wtf anet

I've been at 76% for a while now.

After HoT and shitshow that S3 story was I didn't even bother buying new expac.

look at the progress bar, it's just dling a large file at that point

but muh desert aesthetic

You can get knocked off but it takes a lot to do so I think.
So generally you can run through mobs without being impeded

There doesn't seem to be many masteries. Only 4 for the raptor and 10 points total.

Fuck GW2 writers, you have quality characters such as Logan, Rytlock, Canach etc. and they put them all in the bin and force-feed us that stupid asura plot-mancer, those tryhard lesbians and that chump Braham in every fucking episode

last episode of S3 was so fucking terrible, that shining blade initiation was like watching someone's first Gmod animation and the lazarus fight was so easy, they spent all the fucking season hyping him up as a huge threat and you just solo him because plot

Livia reveal was so pointless and flaccid it's like they did it just to please the handful of GW1 players who haven't given up on GW2 yet, too bad it wasn't worth jack shit

You just have an hp bar for the mount and it goes away if it gets to 0.

They realized that the non-glider masteries they put in HoT were so underwhelming compared to the benefits you got with Gliding that they just made all the masteries exploration/movement oriented this time around so that they all feel good.
The LS4 one is going to be a new Griffon mountr

What's up with those loading screens

>you have quality characters such as Logan, Rytlock, Canach etc.
These characters are not shit, because Anet writers are hardly touching them and Canach is starting to get annoying.

> lazarus fight was so easy, they spent all the fucking season hyping him up as a huge threat and you just solo him because plot
That's the point with the story due to it's a big skill gap between the casual shitters with 0 knowledge of builds and the more skilled players with at least 20k dps and they want the lore part to be finishable by everyone and thus the difficulty. I would like to see the lazarus fight in the fractals though but slightly changed so it's actually difficult.
