If I may,

Forget about mechanics.
Forget about the ins and outs.

Ignorance is bliss. Enjoy the mystery of a new world. Enjoy.

Just to echo everybody else, great post Enchanted. So many people get so bloody upset when something gets nerfed/buffed/resdesigned/altered/whatever.

Person Taking Game too Seriously: "OMG Anet just nerfed my uber-1337 build!!!11111eleven! Now I actually have to THINK for myself instead of ripping something off of Wiki and come up with something original! Gods, I am ruined!!!111!"

Everybody Else: "Meh, I wonder if this works."

PTGWTS: "You fools, what are you doing?!? They just nerfed my build! Now I can't pwn everything with my skillz!"

EE: "We're playing the game. Its what we do for enjoyment and diversion."

If you can't deal with a change, or the fact that GW isn't like every other bloody MMO on the market, go play them and let those of us who enjoy (for the most part) what GW actually IS do so.

Also, only for whom it is legal to do so:
Once in a while, open a bottle of your favourite poison, get drunk and play.
Bottle of booze: €20
Getting run through the desert: 5plat or so
Waking up the next morning wondering how your mesmer got to the ring of fire island: Priceless

Another thing I have done is drop my less than favorite characters. I decided it would require too much more game time to get them through, and it would just be too aggravating owing to the current game mechanics vs certain professions. That coupled with the fact that with Heroes you are playing all by setting them up and controlling them, and I prefer Warrior over all except Ranger which I use when I get tired of running after stuff. Essentially I decided the game was not going to adjust to me, so I adjusted my time in it.

7) IF you are a casual player, don't worry about places like Domain of Anguish, it was designed to be uber hard unless you can take time to figure our FOTM builds, which usually means starting a new character and getting it through the game again. Of course if you want to try it, great. But, if getting wiped out (entire group) over and over in a few minutes appeals to you, pass it by. They are called "Elite" areas but it would be more appropriately titled "Elitest", as the only ones getting into groups must be wearing the required outfit and have the required spells etc.. Basically this type of area seems to be a casters/ranged only mission as the run in and fight tactic will result in a 30 second death. Some will say they use "x" build and run through to get chests, well that may be true but given the stuff coming out of chests is subject to the same mechanics as the rest of the game, it hardly seems worth it (i.e you can get purple, req13 stuff there just like anywhere else in game, and imho, the effort is not worth it. ) I've got protector in all 3 chapters, I'm lightbringer 5, and over 4.4 mil in exp on my main character. I can do most any mission save a few with heroes/henchman. And I get wiped there in a few minutes. So having said titles means nothing there. They are an entirely new playing feild, kinda like TOTPK, on crack, and as a guildy says "The Developers ate too much pepperoni pizza before bed"

Nice post. My response would have to be that in order to get things the lots dont hav...go places that lots cant get to or survive in: HoH and DoA. WOOT!

Keys to happiness in game = don't make a necromancer. You will get attached to them, only to see a-net nerf their primary attribute to hell.

I still haven't found a decent build for my dervish <;l i've checked the forums but there's not alot there. Well i'll wait for GW:EN new skills, new builds, right?

heheh theres your problem. you should come up with your own build instead of using popular cookie cutter builds which usually end up on the business end of a nerf-stick

and equally if not more stupid when using lazy abbreviations, acronyms, and/or cryptic encoded skill or build names. Examples include wtvr, idk, idc, l8r, 55, 600, br, ss, sv, tnx, plz, et cetera. . . in battle, fine. But when you have time to compose legible words, do so.

Yeah, but if it's not important to you, don't waste time on it.
Life is too short. And you don't get an automatic rez. So if you're not enjoying the game for whatever reason, move on.

That actually made me laugh. But I'll never say "LoL"

Another thing to remember is even though it is a game some things are ment to be played harder for and not handed to players on a silver platter. As there is no UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT A B A B code in GW for stuff.

I seriously never expected you, Enchanted, to post something like this considering the nature of most of your other posts.

Kudos. Truly.

My thoughts exactly.

Sometimes you have to bow to the absurd and admit the unchangeable..
