seriously, toxx. unless you have stock in the company, why the fuck do you care so much if people get a refund?

My refund didnt go through because it had been over 180 days since I had purchased (according to the reply I received). I pre-purchased on July 6th.... so I barely missed the cut off it seems.

Oh well.

Nice of them to offer this...

I only made it to lvl 42 or so, never tried the pvp, and still feel I got my ?42 out of it that I spent.
Not that it matters, as I bought a box anyway.

Same here, but June 7th. Wish I'd known about this a week ago.

are they offering any sort of compensation to people who have had to suffer through hearing people whine about their shitty game for the last 6 months?

that was a pretty stupid post.


-Get all your skills halfway through progression.

Really? I get all my skills by level 5 on a new character. how is getting new skills a good thing? How many mmos have shit gameplay till you get miracle skills at level 21, or 40, whatever, that completely change the way the class plays? Shadowform, mortal strike, moonkin? that is utter shit. Why do I need to shit through 21 levels to get shadowform?
Traits here expand on gameplay you already started. Extra utility slots and elites same deal. the give more versatility, but do not really change the way a profession works.

-different weapon types don't give differant play styles.
Uh.. yes they do. some more then others... SCeptor/focus mesmer is totally differant from sword/focus memser. or greatsword or staff. d/d elem vs staff not even close. Warrior has some huge variation as well.
Engineer, kits and traits combine for massively variant gameplay as well. You seriously saying a grenade engi and a tankcat engi play the same?

-pvp is a joke.
eh. needs more spvp modes. Some balancing. etc.

-imbalance.
yea. needs balance. only a few profs have more then 2 or 3 viable builds.

-mounts/healers
lol wtf? waypoints every 30 feet, swiftness. and crying about mounts. There are viable support heavy builds for engis, elems and gaurdians.

-Pve dungeons are too long.
Dude what? most take 20min. The new fractals are like 10min per fractal, 30min for full run. they are huge cash, some of the best looking gear.
And that one shot dude was super easy to avoid. Its highly telegraphed.

All right ladies and gentlemen, tonight we break into tier 1 EU for the first time. Some are saying it's going to be straight PvDoor, some are saying we won't be ready. We're not sure what to expect but we do know that we're going to hit wvw hard all week until our victory is definite. I'll be around this week and I hope to see everyone there.

I don't get the obsession with MMOs offering timesinks that take months to accomplish, if I had to slog through 3 months of bullshit just to get to what you whiners call "fun", I'd quit in a heartbeat. The fact that this is probably the first MMO in ages that actively encourages exploration and emergent gameplay. Taking a page out of LoL's book so you are looking for cool looking gear, not +1 gear is also a way to make this genre move forward, away from +gooderer. There's still advantage in having access to wide variety of gear so you can adapt to situations, just like having every skill unlocked, what you level with is rarely ideal and there's noticeable difference between rare and exotic. They also have art team that blows the rest of the market out of the water, with lategame zones looking absolutely gorgeous.

Dungeons are more varied than anything WoW offered lately, with several encounters being outsmarted by the community, though some others are rather boring, where you end up dodging a single spell and hammering your dps button for 5 minutes. I agree on the combat being a bit plain, but it also feels as fluid and responsive as WoW, which is no small feat. The combo system could be enhanced a bit to promote class synergies, but I think it's good enough.

They also have no subscription, which let's you try it again if a patch catches your eye, so I see no reason to give away your account, because the game is bound to get better.

In the words of wide Hatorade "I've played the shit out of that game, it was crap"

Just ran tribune path of Citadel of Flame explorable, I finally understand why everyone only farms path 1 and 2

The bomb corridor with 3 turrets at the end that make pretty good attempt at killing you just when you think the worst part is over made me giggle. Though the last boss is a real bore, dodge single spell and kite him around for 5 minutes until he decides to keel over.

If possible they should have put it out before reset. It really fucks the WvW at the time. With 24/7 WvW is there ever a good time to patch?
