How A-net ruined the game? They made pugging less attractive then solo or H/H partys. The players only made use of this and therefore got bored fast. Now there are hardly any pugs now there bored and willing to pug again. So player kinda ruined the game because A-net made it possible and easy. (well for PvE that is. PvP is just non balanced first to spike wins game)

Overpowered things need to be nerfed.

ANet did take the fun out of it by... Making it harder to play and not offering new rewards... New skins, new armor, should be added to keep interest up.

The only thing I've noticed "new" to the game in awhile is when they put Dhuum into UW.

May I recommend the new Stephen King book Under the Dome, very enjoyable!

OT, Game is still fun, except for the parts ANET killed

The fun was killed by the lack of skill updates.Pvp suffered a good amount of losses from that.Anyone saying that a skill update killed the game is a freaking dummy.

Deatgs Corrupter · Mar 15, 2010, 05:28 PM // 17:28

u werent unstoppable....
incubus
shock
lag spikes (seem to be more and more common)
death nova
ominous oozes
low energy
etc etc

Skyy High · Mar 15, 2010, 05:47 PM // 17:47

All of the skills you listed could either be defended against with an anti-KD skill, healed up relatively easily with a single healing skill, or just avoided entirely by farming something else because the skills are so uncommon. Low energy...come on, if you did more than 10 or 20 runs, you never ran out of energy, because it was the same thing every time.

No single other skill provided such blanket protection. It was the single most-used farming skill in the game, and certainly the easiest way to make yourself completely untouchable to a large number of mobs. It was out of line with other defensive skills in the game, period, end of story, stop trying to argue otherwise, IT'S DONE ALREADY.

Deatgs Corrupter · Mar 15, 2010, 05:51 PM // 17:51

hmmm yeah but u aint unstoppable.. that was my point. . the incubus in bogroots made the dungeon hell. and i think u forget 55 blessed griffins when tyria came out, that provided blanket protection i don't see 55 being nerfed. so what if people where doing dungeons really quick it just meant prices were cheaper for regular players people were rich if they were dedicated to farming and i didnt really see that many poeple complaining cos really basically everyone bought soemthing that had in someway been connected to a perma.
live and let live

p.s LAG SPIKE=no counter

Just my two cents:

Everyone who complains that GW is "dead" needs to go sign up for a 14 day free trial of Ultima Online.

What a mind numbingly stupid thing to say!

To make a few things clear:
1. Various skills were defo over-powered
2. I feel sorry for those who were using those skills for their own benefit
3. I don't feel sorry for those who were using those skills to earn 25K from each player to do speedbook, for instance.

Imho these last were the people who were ruining the game and good riddance!

The game is about ingenuity and giving at least a little thought to what you're doing instead of simply copying what everyone else is ploughing on at.

A little thought on the side: If I was preparing a new version of a product, how would I make that product more interesting? It's called Phasing-out or Running-down. Ring any bells?

Tips cap and moves on, my 5 cents done

Zahr Dalsk · Mar 15, 2010, 06:33 PM // 18:33

I think the last bit of fun, for me, went away when ArenaNet nerfed 600/smite.

At least with 600/smite I was vanquishing.

Now, however, I went back to Diablo 2 and am having actual fun.

Agreed, if skill nerfs were accomanied by boosts in rewards, probably hardly anyone would complain. Good idea! Because making things harder without improving rewards always makes people drop out. Both in games and real life.

yeah check when those were released; whats that i hear u say a year ago, my god they have been busy.
i know its hard for the team with only like 4 people on it but seriously it would be cool to see some more dungeons weapons or heck titles to grind for. and also the few u name are bascically it apart from maybe dhummn, but lets not talk about dhummn.
Make a twelve man dungeon which has levels of incubus and other hard stuff make it 7 levels and make it fun with the z chest at the end. (this is totally random and i know 101 things are wrong with it but cmon!!!)

yes the skill was overpowered but 25k for aspeed book mate u were getting ripped of.
