oh one more thing. monks rock. they are the backbones of a team and if there is sth wrong with the dialogues in a team during a mission thats not game's but people who play it. so STOP blaming the game like little kiddos and please put your head between your hands and think if u ever been in an argument like that: 'where did I go wrong?'... always look for the answer in nearest place (which is you if u of course)

hi

the reason you dont see the bannable offense material is that it is deleted so as not to clutter up or remain to offend people.

recent prime example are the posts by the poster who hit multiple forums with spam for buying GW gold for cash.

others by people were a blast at people which were cleaned up.

if it is nasty and/or personal enough it will be cleaned up

that is why it is not there to refer to

***QUOTE***
If he or anyone he were to use henchmen often (which people do), that's a clear sign that GW community has a bad community. People only pick henchmen because they don't bitch.
***QUOTE***

Well, what can I say... Sorry for being a bitch... lol... This far I have seen 2 sissy boys who started to yell at the group, cry, swear, call ppl noobs etc since I started playing (its been more than 2 months now) and I suspect if u were one of em since u said it. If you behave yourself in the game like you do in the real world there is no way thay you will get in a discussion with some1. And i try to get ppl as much as i can but when its 5am in the morning its hard to find 8ppl together. Well I guess then you need henchies, rite?

I understand and appreciate that offensive stuff gets deleted. However, there is a raft of pretty vile offensive stuff by others still in this thread... and I've noticed in other threads that when stuff is deleted by a Mod, there is usually an edit note to that effect left in the thread.

Bottom line, Garric's posts in this thread were well-written, if controversial, and did not appear to be the work of a foul-mouthed adolescent flamer... which is more than I can say of some posts. Hence, my confusion... and my apprehension.

My last post on this topic lest my own name suddenly appear to be grayed out! Thanks to those who replied to me. I'll move on now... but I will continue to feel a bit cautious and stilted as I make comments that some might disagree with.

I'm not worth arguing yet you took down your ignore to hear what I had to say. Like I said, you contradict yourself when you talk. And you need to grow up, this isn't a nice world and they will always people who have negative things to say. But you fail to see the positive changes that come out of constructive criticism. There will always be people opposite views of your own and putting someone on your ignore list, flaming them or troll their doesn't make them anymore wrong. As said you need to leave these messageboard if you can't talk with anyone over anything, including a disagreement.

Trolls aren't people with negative comments, they are people like yourself who come up with illogical views to disagree with something. Many of the points Garric has said, have been made by players on this forum, chatroom and other GW related forums. He said has taken everything he and other people dislike in about this game and put it in this topic for everyone to read and you have the nerve to call him a negative person. He was merely pointing out the flaws that can easily be fixed by using some thinking. But that's not the way you or anyone wants to handle things. It has to be your way.

We've all said offensive stuff or troll on other forms, yet no one here gets warn nor do the threads get close down once they get to that point.

Let me clarify it for you. The game is hard without Monks (starting about when you get into the Northern Shiverpeaks). The game is easy with Monks, up until the Ascension missions. Since 90% of the time, you'll have a Monk (be it Alesia or a PC), the game is easy up until the Ascension missions, when it becomes challenging.

FoW and UW have a PvP aspect, but you are in no way required to do PvP in order to go there.


Quote:
Actually, to get from one new area to the other, you are required to grinding. As you run to the new area, monsters will try to fight you. As I said in the last topic, 5 out of 6 class can attack at a distance. Most of the monsters were shamelessly given attacks and spell similar to their class counter parts. Because 5 out of 6 of those monsters can attack at a distance, they pursue you all over the map, chain aggroing their original group and other groups they come across. So you are force to kill every group you come across to prevent a calamity.
I don't understand. The only new areas that you are required to get to are destinations of quests or missions in the main story line (yes, I count the 3 desert missions as part of a "quest," because the NPCs tell you about them, even though it isn't in your quest log). Is it grinding to be expected to fight your way through quests and missions?

Quote:
Now as for missions and quests, they are a grind all in themselves. As I said in the last topic, you can easily chain aggro 10 to 20 monsters. Out of those 10 to 20 monsters, they are going to drops something. The reason people have a lot of money after doing quests and mission is because the monster drop a lot junk, which what I said in my review. 70% of the time you find yourself in front a merchant selling stuff you can't even use. Majority of this stuff junk, especially to the warrior.
If you're careful, you won't chain aggro 10-20 monsters. Plus, the 10-20 mob fights are the most fun, especially when you just barely beat them. Is it grinding to fight mobs in this game?

As for the drops, majority of the stuff is junk to most of the classes. You can't make everything useful to everyone, when different classes want different types of items. Is it grinding when you don't get good gear in every mission?

I have to say that even though I don't agree with Captain Guru and Garric, they are at least civil.

I'm sorry you haven't experience any of this, but your claim doesn't moot the point made by posters on this board, chatroom and other forums that are GW related.
what im trying to say is i guess clear and pretty much more GW related than the ongoing "why ppls stuff gets deleted" discussion. Or isn't it?

And yeah I guess I am a bit lucky so I get the right guys (or they get me) then...

I do feel some people here focus way to much on the negative. Personally if I play a game for over a week and still find flaws that frustrate me I just stop playing it. Regardless of what anyone else thinks really... agree or dissagree.

There are things I dont like about GW(non have been mentioned here btw). But the overall game is good to me and it makes those things I dont like mostly insignificant.

Someone may love it... others will hate it. Can't please everyone, but there are always other games that may suit you.

Anyone who use Alesia will tell you she quiet useless. She often runs into the middle of fight or attack more than she heals. She doesn't come with any group heals and she doesn't have any condition or hex removers.

I rest my case.

No, you have to go to other areas to get skills, to dp miscenallous quests, or get certain equipment. Piken Square for example has ranger skills, warriors skills and necromancers. So on your way to get to that new area, you have to fight those monsters in your path.

10 to 20 mobs aren't hard to beat due to their bad A.I. You didn't read my post about getting Ascalon armor early in the game, which can make you nigh invicible except against certain DoTs or spike damage. No matter how good you are avoid, you will get caught and that NPC who catches you may be link to a group far out of the screen, which they can chain aggro them.

Though some people confuse grinding with farming, grinding is when a player makes a job out of fighting enemies NPC, voluntarily or non-voluntarily.

I never have this problem. Ive done all misions with just henchies and its just as easy as with a non-NPC group.

The rest is just part of how the game is... you can really debate it endlessly...

Again, this has been mention on other forums about the useless of Alesia and other henchmen. Other people have mentioned they gotten through the game with henchies, but the most unreliable one was always Alesia.

Now your exprience does not moot the point of other players. Matter a fact, a topic I made in here, I had also post in that other forum the other night. One of the consistant post they made were to upgrade henchmen's A.I and they started cracking about Stefhan and Alesia.

Nor do their post moot mine. I could be as wrong just as much as they can. And simply cause its posted a hundred times doesnt make it any more a fact than fiction. And people like to complain and will complain 100 times more than say how easy it is. So no, Im not surprised people are saying shes worthless half the time.

To me it just shows how they dont know how to use her. Again. My opinion.

But backing up a bit... I never have had a problem with her. Thats a fact. Ive gone all the way from Ascalon to Hell Precipice with NPC's without a problem with more than one class build.

Why they upgrading Stefan? It should be Little Thom that needs upgrade, Stefan lasts for long time whenever I use him, he knows how to use Healing Signet unlike Little Thom.

The one that needs upgrading is Dunham. No good skills at all. Does anyone use him?

For some reason when I take Dunham with me, he seems to do better than Orion and that Necromancer guy. At levels, Reyna becomes very useful. Little Thorm res the first person that dies on your team and will not wait until the party is wiped out to do it. (Unlike Stefan that is)

I like how you say that so surely, dissregarding the possibility that they are causing the problems themselves or they are just whinning.

But... according to you... since all they said they cant do it... my point is moot? I love that logic.

Yet... as stated above... this never happens to me.

So for MY point to be true... everyone besides me who have no problem with Alesia would have to post non stop about how good she is? I mean unles they post it means it never happens right?

1) No Community is worse than the WoW community. Just read the forums. This community isn't bad, yea so what there are silly 12 year old noobs who scam and annoy. Just leave the group or ignore them.
2) Henchies. There morea effective then dumb monks, which 3/4 of the monks are.
3)There is no grind in this game at all. And it is so simple to get 20 it isnt even funny. Lets see from around levels 10-20, you need 8,-14,00 XP to level. When you get level 20, you should have 150,00-200,000 xp. In world of warcraft, it takes 200,000 xp to get from level 59-60.
4)This game isn't very hard either. There are missions that have their toguh spots, but the majority is the noobie parties all over the palce. (Thunderhead(
4) I just made 50k in a day. Off 2 items. You also get sigils for winning HoH.

First hand experience.. the first quest after ascending (when the Mursatt say hello...)... getting to where you free the chick, Alesia decides to run off and attack the Mursatt. (Was in a party of 6 folks with Alesia and Lina for healers).

Needless to say, the mission didn't last long after that.

There is no way and no how screw up a henchmen. Henchnmen do their own stuff and they have their own A.Is. You can't make the henchmen do anything they don't want so can stop with the other player must be messing her up. Henchmen respond how they were program.

I have peronsal eye witness account of Alesia healing when other team members were around 50% or below health. She wouldn't res until other team members until she was near death, she has no condition or hex removers, which is why she die fast when their a npc mesmer in the group. The list goes on and on.

I BET you right now if I went my other forum and post about a topic about what's wrong with Alesia, they would name a good number of reasons why she is unreliable. So yes, their opinion matter, you are wrong and nothing can be applied vice versa. If you lack of trouble it probably has to do with your class as I find certain player classes have a hard time keeping their hencmen alive. (A monk has a better chance of keeping his henchmen alive than a warrior)
