Yeah they fixed GF aggro generation in addition to making dc astral shield no longer "stack" thus no more dual dc groups. Those were bad even back in beta but they were "safe" so bads ran them all the time.

Now every class has a niche, a role they excel at that when combined with other classes roles allows a strategy to be formed. But again, no class is absolutely needed and you can get by without x class just the strategy changes. Its basically the "cleanest" way to do class interdependancy/'trinity' combat in an action mmo.

GFs are a control class, control via aggro. They are basically add tanks/kiters which is a pretty important role in most dungeons given how boss fight mechanics work, constantly spawning adds/etc. But again depending on the group makeup their role changes. In 2gwf no tr groups they are main tank style / tank everything class.
it is fairly interesting. Playing badly as one class, can negatively effect others. Wizards can really annoying rogues for example. by using too many knockbacks, when they are not needed.

If your unicorn mount doesnt have a rainbow mane then you're not trying hard enough. They need to take note and copy GW2, because who of you wouldnt want to strut around town with this weapon:




P.S. I'm not actually sure that's real, it just shoots rainbows on my video settings which is good enough!

So anyone still playing this regularly? I just managed to start playing a bit after 5 months when I tried out one of the beta weekends. Bought the founder of the north pack and never even got to play till now. 5 months with no internet except your phone will make you crazy. Is there still a guild or anything around?

Not to give you buyers remorse or anything but I'd be willing to buy your account for $20.

I still play regularly, on dragon server. Really hate PWE and cryptic and their ineptitude so been hoping for a game to come along with better core gameplay but sadly the rest of the MMO market is taking the piss atm. UI minigames, GCD rotations and DDR whackamole is sadly the norm in much of the newest so-called action-MMOs (just like their predecessors of the WoW clone era).

Im having fun with the game. Never really played an action rpg before so its all still kinda new to me. Im liking how the trickster rogie plays and how you have limited abilities to use. No need fora rotation, just a bit of careful planning on how to maximize dps. Its been enjoyable to say the least.

So apparently the Hunter Ranger is the next class that will be released with their new content update. Additionally they will overhaul the enchantment interface and add second Paragon Paths to the existing classes. Kinda silly that it will end up taking them nearly a year to add in an actual "choice" to the Paragon path choice...but whatever. Wizards get a Fire path (sure to include Fireball) and Clerics get a path that includes more buffing spells.

Precisely why I don't play GW2. If the game doesn't take itself serious than there is no fucking reason for me to play it.

What's your problem with fun? Oh...well you are apparently posting this in some defense of NVW being worth your time.

Probably not worth bumping, but the Hunter Ranger went live today. Along with new paragon paths, a dungeon or two, new adventure area, bunch of other stuff.

Good times if any of you want to check out what this looks like after the exploit festival of the launch. You too can be an angsty drow ranger!

The Hunter Ranger? That's the name they went with? Was Archer Bowman taken? When can we expect the Fighter Warrior, the Rogue Thief, and the Healer Cleric?

I know it's probably from the rulebooks, like Trickster Rogue, or whatever, but it still sounds stupidly retarded.

Think you can play it with a controller but not sure why you would want to. If all you do is solo mini-dungeons and quests and shit then yeah I guess.

Playing this with a controller is like wanting to play a pc fps with a controller. You're just intentionally handicapping yourself in one of the few mmo games where twitch/skill/hand-eye coordination/etc actually matter.

I checked this game very briefly, CW and TR for a few levels into the teens. How does healing work? Target then cast or directional or what?

Looks like it's on steam now too. It was an okay game for free for a couple days. Generic as fuck though.

Healing is either tag-and-cast or AE based. The sole 'direct heal' requires the cleric to initiate the spell then tag all the people he wants to hit with the heal and then release. Other forms of healing are in the form of a debuff placed on mobs that causes people who hit them to heal, or another debuff that heals anyone near that target, a PBAOE heal and a ground effect placed healing circle. Because the lions share of the healing is due to where you stand (area or proximity to a target) positioning of the group and stacking of players is a huge thing.
